The first snow came sooner than expected. We weren’t ready and I had to say, it was all my fault. Working the ranch was always my therapy and it gave me great satisfaction when I finished a hard day's work. My mind had been preoccupied with Nova and Sol, and instead of enjoying my workdays, I was rushing to get home. For the first time since I had started working the ranch, I thought we might need to hire someone to help and I had put out an ad. I hadn’t told the guys yet, they would be ecstatic because that’s what they have been pushing me to do for at least a year. It was hard letting people in my space and Aurora Ranch was my space.
I had another surprise that I had been getting ready for Christmas. It had been years in the making, and it was finally coming together. Finding builders in Sterling had been hard, but once I had gotten the name of a reliable company, it had gone a lot smoother than I had anticipated.
“We just need to finish flooring in the bedrooms, connect the solar panels, and get ready for inspection,” my contractor, Aiden, said. “Oh, and we need to install the sink since the last one cracked. That should get here in a few days, so plenty of time.”
I looked at the home I had been secretly building the last few years. While the cabin we had was just right for us, it was small and needed some repairs. My uncle had lived there, and I always pictured something a little more modern.
“Sounds great,” I muttered.
“Inspection is next Wednesday and if we get the go-ahead, you can start moving in,” he said, putting the pencil behind his ear, looking at the cabin with me.
“Can we see the inside?” I asked.
“Yeah, of course.” Aiden motioned for me to follow him.
“Hey, boss.” We ran into Callum, the other worker of the crew who had a box in his hand. “Is this for the bedrooms?”
“Yeah, minus the primary bedroom,” he replied, as Callum nodded at me.
“Thanks,” he said, walking towards the bedrooms.
Aiden talked about what they had done and the features they had added as I took in the house. Now that Atlas was home and things with Nova were progressing, this felt right, almost perfect.
“This looks great,” I said, once the tour was over.
“Just in time for the holidays like you asked,” he chuckled. “I honestly was surprised we were able to do it. Most of the time, it's always something that holds us back, but I’m really glad we were able to finish this for you.”
“Me too,” I said, holding out my hand. “Thank you so much.”
“Anytime, man,” he said, shaking my hand. “You might not like me after I send you the bill.”
I smiled. “It will be worth it.”
Working on the house in secret was the hardest thing to do. Thankfully, as winter came on, Colt stayed close to our cabin to make sure our generators were working and he weatherproofed the barn to make sure it would hold up this winter. Working at the garage had helped keep it a secret and it had been easy to keep the cows away too. I rode back to the barn to see Sol and Nova here, earlier than usual, feeding some horses as Colt took a look at De Ville’s hoof.
“Is she ok?” I asked, getting off Maleficent.
“Teddy Bear!” Sol yelled, running to me.
I caught her, hugging her tightly.
“Her horseshoe needs to be replaced again. I was hoping it was something I could fix, but I can’t,” Colt said frustrated, as he pet his horse.
“I’ll put in another call to Edgar, but I’ll ask around to see if there might be someone else we can use,” I huffed.
“Is she in pain?” Sol asked, as I got closer to De Ville.
“As long as I’m not riding her hard, she's fine,” Colt said, kissing De Ville. “I’m thinking we just need to let these horses go barefoot.”
“Yeah, you might be right,” I said, putting Sol down as Nova walked to me. “What brings you ladies here so early?”
“Sol had a half-day today.” Nova said.
Each time she was close all I wanted to do was hold and kiss her. Every day it was getting harder and harder. I settled for a hug, squeezing her tightly, placing a kiss on her head as Sol looked away.
“Alright, Sol and I have some dinner to cook so be prepared for some Mexican cuisine,” Nova said, grabbing Sol’s hands.
“Can I put in a request? I’d kill for some gorditas.” Colt’s eyes lit up with excitement.
I know it’s a figure of speech, but saying you’d kill for something was always a weird thing for people to say.
“Mmmm, maybe next time!” she yelled, as she walked away. “I am making some charro beans! Don’t work too late.”
I raised my brow as she walked away, those hips swaying in those damn jeans made me want to peel them off of her.
“That ass,” Colt grunted.
I groaned, turning around before I swelled in my jeans.
“I told Sol that they should spend the night.”
“And?” I asked, as he chuckled.
“She said if it was ok with you guys, which I can’t imagine you guys wouldn’t be,” he said, guiding De Ville into a stall.
Atlas and I were mad when Colt said he slept with her and tonight might be our chance. I would be happy to cuddle, but lately this attraction between all of us was growing, and I wanted her more and more.
Colt and I worked on the barn a little more, corralling the animals inside since it was supposed to be a cold night. Once we had everyone accounted for—even Hula Hoop who had a sweater on—we locked up, walking back home. Atlas was standing outside of the window as music came out of the house.
Nova and Sol were dancing to some pop song, singing at the top of their lungs. Sol was singing into a spoon as Nova stirred a pot, shaking her ass.
“They look good in our home,” I said, as we walked up to Atlas.
“Yeah, they do,” Atlas said, with a dopey look on his face.
“Is it too soon to ask her to move in?” I blurted, kind of joking, but not.
I looked at Atlas who smirked and Colt who looked a little unsure.
“You ok, Colt?” I asked, hoping he wasn’t regretting his decision.
“Yeah, I’m glad Sol has a good momma,” he said. “I honestly never expected to feel so protective of Sol and Nova. I hope I can give them everything they need.”
“Aww, big guy,” Atlas said, leaning over to hug Colt. “I feel the same way.”
“Hi!!!” Sol yelled, hitting the window.
“Busted,” Atlas chuckled.
We walked into the house, and it smelled amazing. My mouth watered as I took off my boots and when I walked into the kitchen, there was so much food.
“Nova, this looks great,” I said, seeing a big pot of beans.
“I haven’t cooked like this in a while, but I hope everything tastes good,” Nova said, opening up a pan that had rice in it. “We have about twenty minutes before it's ready, so go clean up.”
Sol and Nova shooed us out of the kitchen, and we all rushed to get changed. I was excited to eat, but I was more excited for the change I was seeing in Nova.
I cleaned the island as Nova walked out of the hallway, going straight to Colt who was enjoying the fire with a glass of whiskey. He pulled her onto his lap, making her laugh. It was stupid to be jealous, but things had really changed after they had had sex. They were more comfortable with each other, and I saw her looking at him more often.
My body had craved that intimacy; an awful voice inside told me she wanted him more and that I would never be good enough. I wasn’t great with words, always getting nervous when I needed to say something important, but I needed to show her how I felt.
“Go, I’ll finish up,” Atlas said, knowing what I needed.
I nodded my thanks.
“Barrel racing makes me nervous,” Nova said, as I sat on the seat next to her.
“She’s a tough girl,” I muttered, as I sat down.
“Mentally and physically.” Nova scooted over to lean on me.
I didn't give her much choice since I sat so close to them.
“She’s amazing,” Colt said, taking a sip before passing it on to me.
“She is.” Nova sighed.
I took a sip, grabbed her hand and squeezed her. Our proximity made my heart beat faster. I took another sip when Nova pulled my mouth to her, kissing me. She surprised me as I opened my mouth, letting her drink a little bit of the whiskey.
She moaned as she deepened the kiss, leaving me momentarily frozen with want. My brain kicked in as I passed the tumbler to Colt pulling her onto my lap. She spread her legs sitting directly on my cock, which gave me perfect access to explore her body. I deepened the kiss, cupping her face and grabbing her ass.
I kissed her cheek, down her neck, letting my teeth scrape against her skin before I sucked on her skin a little. She gasped, rolling her hips and threading her hand through my hair.
“Bedroom,” Atlas said, as Nova pulled away a little. “We don’t want to give Sunny any nightmares.
Nova chuckled into my cheek as I stood up. She kissed my neck as I walked down the hallway. If the house was ready, I could have Sol a little farther away from the main bedroom. I walked into our room and let Nova slide down my body slowly. My sweats did nothing to hide my hard cock waiting to sink into her. Nova slid down to her knees in front of me pulling down my sweats with her.
“Fucking hell,” Colt growled.
Nova didn’t take her eyes off of me as she rubbed my cock through my boxer briefs.
“Damn, Nova.” I closed my eyes, relishing the feel of her hand.
“Can I suck your cock, Theo?” I opened my eyes, seeing her look up at me in such a submissive way that I could only nod.
She pulled my underwear down as someone stood behind me. I leaned into them as they turned my head towards them. Colt kissed my lips softly when Nova’s warm mouth sucked on the head of my cock. I moaned as Colt kissed me, and Nova took more of me into her mouth.
“I need to see her,” I said against Colt’s lips, looking down at Nova, almost coming at the sight of her sucking my cock. “Shit, Nova, you're going to embarrass me.”
I pulled away, cupping her chin and pulling her up. She followed and I crushed my lips against hers, earning me a moan. We stumbled back until her knees hit the bed, falling onto her back.
The sound of kissing had me glancing over my shoulder to see Colt pushing Atlas against the wall, kissing him hungrily.
“God, they look so beautiful together,” Nova whimpered.
I took off my shirt, throwing it to the side as I climbed onto her. Her legs parted to allow me to nestle close to her pussy.
“You can watch them as I strip you,” I whispered, kissing her hard before trailing down her neck, pulling her shirt off.
She was wearing a sports bra that was hard to take off, but once we managed to get it off, her breasts were begging to be kissed and sucked. I was running on instinct again, hoping whatever I did brought her pleasure. I sucked one nipple into my mouth as the bed dipped and Atlas came into my view. He slid up to kiss her, pinching her nipple while his hand trailed down her stomach.
She put her hand across her stomach to cover herself up and I nipped at her hand.
“You’re gorgeous, my North Star.” I kissed her stomach, hoping every kiss made her realize she was beautiful just the way she was.
Undoing her button on her jeans, I got off the bed to pull them off along with her underwear, so she laid bare to us. She closed her thighs and rubbed them together as I looked at her kissing Atlas. I stroked my cock, and admired her. Colt got on his knees, opened her legs and dove in like he was a starved man. He moaned against her pussy, she moaned loudly and Atlas went back to kissing her.
I knelt down by Colt, watching him devour Nova with fascination. She whimpered, rolling her hips up to his face as he inserted a finger into her cunt. Colt looked over his shoulder, his lips glistening with her arousal. I grabbed him for a kiss, moaning when I tasted her arousal.
“You taste so good with her on your tongue.” I gasped when he grabbed my cock and stroked it while he pleasured Nova and me.
“Suck her pussy, Theo,” he growled, as he continued fucking Nova with his fingers and stroking me.
I didn’t have any finesse like Colt, but I listened to every gasp and groan and paired it with what I remembered from last time. We had her squirming in a matter of minutes.
“Please,” Nova whimpered.
“Please, what?” Atlas asked Nova.
“Fu—”
Atlas captured her moan with a kiss as I added a finger inside of her alongside Colt’s, who pushed me aside so he could kiss her pussy occasionally kissing me too.
“Make me come,” Nova whimpered.
“You heard her boys,” Atlas growled.
I sucked her clit hard as Colt and I fucked her a little faster. Nova chanted her approval, her pussy tightened around us, almost sending me over the edge. I grabbed Colt’s hand to stop him and I heard him chuckle.
“I love when you lose control, T.” He kissed my neck as I stopped sucking on Nova’s clit, switching to kisses that had little shocks of pleasure moving her limbs. “I think you should fuck her. Feel her tight heat.”
“Fuck our girl,” Atlas said.
“Get on the bed, Theo,” Nova said, sitting up and leaning over to kiss me before getting up.
I crawled onto the bed, feeling someone smack my ass. Looking over my shoulder Colt was kissing Nova as Atlas watched me. I laid down and Atlas took my cock in his mouth as I watched Nova and Colt. Was there anything more erotic than to watch them with Nova? I thrusted up, chasing my pleasure.
Nova looked over when I moaned, crawling between my legs next to Atlas, who grabbed her for a kiss, continuing to stroke. Nova added her hand to the mix taking my pleasure to new heights. Nova kissed the tip of my cock, crawling up my body until she was straddling me with my cock at her entrance.
She teased me, sinking down just enough to let the head of my cock slip in and she pulled off. I needed more, attempting to grab her, but she slapped my hand away.
“Just lay there and let me take care of you,” Nova said, sinking down on the tip of my cock and rolling her hips.
“More,” I moaned, when Atlas laid down next to me, stroking himself, watching the point where Nova and I were connected.
Nova placed her hands on my chest as she sat down on the rest of my cock.
I gasped, her tight heat so snug around me.
“Damn, Theo,” she sighed, rolling her hips and throwing her head back.
“Fuck him good, Cielo.” Colt knelt behind Nova, grabbing her breasts.
The contrast between her bare skin to his tattoos was sexy. He put his hands on her waist, guiding her to fuck me and it felt fucking amazing. I was usually in charge or issuing commands, but laying here, watching all the people I cared about, was heady. My pleasure was a constant wave going through me, but I was impatient and needed to feel more, to finish inside of her.
“Are you close, big guy?” Atlas groaned, fucking his fist.
I nodded, unable to speak. Atlas and Colt switched places, each kissing Nova and caressing her. Colt grabbed her neck, kissing her hard and the possessiveness took me over the edge. I came hard over and over, slamming my hips up to her.
“You’re so fucking sexy, Theo.” Nova looked down at me gently rolling her hips, pulling another wave of pleasure from me.
“You are.” I reached up, bringing her in for a kiss as I slipped out of her.
“Oh, fuck,” Atlas moaned. “Seeing you drip out of her, big boy, it’s so fucking hot.”
“Fuck it back into me,” Nova said, glancing behind her.
“Yes, ma’am,” Atlas replied, thrusting into her so hard it pushed her up.
They moaned together as Atlas fucked her and I touched her anywhere I could. Colt knelt next to us with his cock in between Nova and I.
“Suck it,” Colt ordered.
I glared at him as Nova took him into her mouth.
“Come on, Teddy, be a good boy for me and suck my—” Colt didn’t finish his sentence as he grunted.
Nova was playing with his balls as she took him into her mouth, humming and getting help from Atlas who was pounding into her. I smirked, looking up at Colt who was pleasured out as I sucked on two fingers trailing them down his balls to hit his taint and his ass. His eyes opened quickly, disoriented, as I was playing with his hole.
“Nova, tell me you're close,” Atlas gasped.
“Al-almost,” she panted, looking back at Atlas.
I pushed her up a little with my free arm sliding my hand down, brushing her clit.
She moaned, pumping Colt’s cock as I played with his ass.
“Come on, Cielo, come for us,” Colt panted.
“Yes, yes,” she moaned.
Atlas cursed under his breath as Nova’s legs shook by my torso and Colt grunted his release, coming all over my chest. They looked wiped out, but I was rallying for round two after watching them all fall apart. Colt was the first to get off the bed, throwing me a towel to clean my chest.
“I don’t think I can move,” Nova murmured, leaning on me after I had cleaned myself.
“Stay a while.” I kissed her forehead.
“I gotta go back to Sol,” she muttered.
“I’ll set an alarm, and you can go to her in a little bit,” Atlas said.
“No, if I don’t get up now then I might never get up,” Nova said, snuggling closer to me.
I chuckled, wrapping my arms around her.
“Come on, Cielo.” Colt pulled her away from me. “Let's go watch a movie.”
“Ok, I like that,” Nova said, going with him. “Pee first, and I need to find my clothes.”
Colt helped Nova to the bathroom as I laid down, enjoying the aftermath of what we had just done. I thought it might be awkward and weird sharing her, but things felt natural. It was like she was always supposed to be with us, like she belonged to us.
