Chapter 36
Breaching The Walls
Harper
“Happy birthday!” Mom’s voice wakes me at six a.m. I glance at my nightstand where the guys are all still sleeping and gently close the screen so Mom doesn’t see.
She walks farther into the room. “I wanted to be the first to wish you a happy birthday, and since I’m leaving for work, that’s now.”
I struggle to sit up and rub at my eyes. “Thanks, Mom.”
Sitting on the edge of my bed, she pulls me into a hug. I snuggle into her warmth and fresh scent.
“I love you and wish you the happiest day ever.” Mom pulls away. “I’ll give you your present tonight after everyone leaves. Donuts are on the counter for you.”
“Thanks.” I rub at the sleep in my eyes some more.
She ruffles my hair and bear hugs me again. “Have a great day, sweetie.”
“I will.” As soon as she releases me, I slide back down into bed. “After I sleep more.”
“See you tonight.” Mom blows me a kiss from the door, and I stick my hand up to catch it. I snatch it out of the air and draw it under the covers with me. She chuckles as she shuts my door.
I open my laptop screen and fall back asleep. The bed shifts and my eyes open. “I don’t need another hug, Mom.”
A familiar masculine chuckle answers me. Wait a minute.
My eyes pop open to Luke sitting on the edge of my bed. “What’s going on?”
“Happy birthday, princess.” Luke hands me a small box.
Someone lies down behind me, and my eyes widen. I look over my shoulder at Caden. He has his ankles crossed and his hands behind his head as he winks.
“Morning, little nympho. You get two escorts from now on.” Caden pulls me closer to him, even though he’s on top of the covers I’m under.
Luke kicks off his shoes and lies on my other side. Heat creeps up my neck.
“Aren’t you guys a little early?” I want to run into the bathroom and brush everything. I’m so not a morning person.
“Your mom woke us.” Luke reaches over and straightens my camisole strap. Shivers ripple through me. “Since we were already awake, figured we’d make the most of it.”
I turn the box over in my hands. “Do I open this now or later?”
“Now,” Caden says.
“Okay, but first I need to use the bathroom.” I look between the guys, needing one to move to let me out. They shrug, and Luke slips off the side.
I brush my teeth and use the bathroom and do the best I can do with my hair before returning to my bedroom.
Caden pats the bed beside him. I swallow as I return to my spot. This isn’t other-side-of-the-camera safe. Luke closes in on me, trapping me between them again. They’re both dressed for the day already, and I feel self-conscious in my pajamas.
Luke hands me the box again. This is really weird, but I take it, curiosity flooding me. Why would they get me a birthday present? Have they done this before? With other girls?
I take off the bow and gently unwrap the gift. What would the horsemen give a girl they’ve claimed for her birthday? Expecting some sort of item to show I’m their property, I open the jewelry box to find a beautiful silver Celtic knot band with a black inlay.
“This is lovely.” I take it out of the box and slide it onto my right ring finger. It fits perfectly. “Thank you.”
I lean over and kiss Luke on the cheek before moving to give Caden the same kiss. Caden turns his head at the last second so that our lips meet. Heat pours through my veins as he draws me in closer until I’m pressed along his side.
He releases my lips and presses my head down against his chest. “Go back to sleep, little nympho. You don’t need to be up for another hour.”
Luke rolls onto his side behind me and spoons me like he did before. I should protest, but they’re both warm, and the weight of their gift feels nice on my finger. I close my eyes as I sink into them.
A hand stroking my thigh wakes me. My pillow is hard and a steady heartbeat echoes in it. I’m tangled up. I open my eyes and see my hand on Caden’s chest.
His chest rumbles under my ear and I peek up at him. He looks like he’s asleep, but then a hand strokes my thigh again. I look down and my thigh is pulled over his, and his hand is lazily stroking up and down.
I become aware of the other beast behind me. His body curls around mine, his erection against my ass and his thigh between mine, pressing against the ache forming. His lips move along the nape of my neck, and I inhale the heady combination of cinnamon and sultry spices. Decadent and tempting.
Caden’s fingertips meet the edge of my shorts. Luke’s arm is around my waist and his hand rests on my stomach. His mouth sucks on the back of my neck, and I release a moan.
His fingers clench into my stomach as Caden’s grip tightens on my thigh. I’m suddenly awake and aroused being wrapped up in two of them. Them pressed against me. Fuck, I’m in trouble, because I don’t want to leave this bed right now.
But I really should. This is dangerous. Playing with fire guaranteed to burst me into flames.
Luke drags a hand across my stomach and over my hip, then slaps my ass. I let out a startled cry. He chuckles. “Get up and ready for school before you make us all late, princess.”
“I don’t mind being late.” Caden shifts and drags me more on top of him so I can feel how much he wants me. “Want to get off first thing on your birthday, little nympho?”
He thrusts his hips up against me. That’s enough to make me scramble to my feet. I throw my hair back as I stand. My strap is down my arm and I fix that.
“Want me to help you shower?” Caden leans up on his elbows and his hot eyes trail over me. “I can help get those hard-to-reach spots.”
Oof, my insides turn to goo. I don’t have the processing speed to deal with two horsemen first thing in the morning. My mouth opens and closes as Caden’s grin widens.
I shake my head. Slowly, I back away and shut myself in the bathroom. As I turn on the shower, I hear dark laughter from my bedroom. Taking a breath, I flick the lock.
In the mirror, my skin is flushed and my pajamas are all wrinkled. I look like I’ve been ravished, but I haven’t…yet. I shake it off and focus on showering quickly and getting ready for school.
Unfortunately, I didn’t exactly grab anything to put on after my shower. I wrap a towel around myself and walk into my bedroom. Caden and Luke sit on my bed. Their eyes track my every movement.
Walking to my dresser, I hold my towel tight while I grab some panties.
“Lose the towel, little nympho.”
I swallow. If I don’t obey, what will happen? Will he decide to cop a feel of my breast and slide his fingers inside me? A shiver races through me at how much I don’t mind either of those things. Dangerous.
Instead, I drop the towel.
No punishment today. Especially if I’m going to like it and crave it.
Caden sucks in his breath. “Fuck, the live show is so much better.”
“Right?” Luke agrees.
Pretending I’m alone, I pull on my panties and grab the matching bra. When I go to fasten my bra, hands grab the back before I can latch it. I didn’t even hear Luke move. His heat just suddenly engulfs me.
“Allow me.” His breath caresses my shoulder as he hooks my bra together. I try to hold back the shudder that ripples through me.
He drops His hands to my waist and he walks with me to my closet. His hands are hot against my bare skin. “What are we wearing today?”
“Uh…” My brain is on meltdown as Luke’s fully clothed body presses into me from behind. My body craves to lean back into him. Feel his warm hands all over me.
He reaches for a red sundress, pressing into me. “This would be nice.”
I nod. My brain is still barely awake, and having him close to me is making my blood flood the wrong part of my body. “Wrong bra.”
“We can fix that.” Before I can stop him, Luke unhooks my bra and drags it off me.
I resist the temptation to cover my breasts as I stand there in only my panties with two guys in my room. A shiver ripples through me again. I’m completely helpless to stop them from doing whatever they want.
Luke walks to my dresser and pulls out a strapless bra. He holds it up. “This one?”
I nod. Fuck my life. I have to trust they won’t do anything I’m not willing to do. At least, as long as I’m not being punished. My gaze meets Luke’s light blue eyes.
He wraps his arms around me, and I bite my lip to keep the gasp in from his heat surrounding me. He puts on my bra, and I hold it in the front while he hooks it behind my back.
“Much better.” He drops a kiss to my shoulder.
Sparks cascade downward, settling between my legs.
He reaches around me and grabs the red dress.
His body presses flush against my back, and I inhale sharply, filling me with his sultry cologne.
He unzips the dress in front of me and then lifts it over my head.
No one has dressed me since I was little. This feels really weird, intimate, and a little erotic. I find the arm straps and let the dress fall onto me. He zips it up with the back of his fingers running up my spine.
I bite my lip to stop the moan that wants to slip out. Forcing myself, I step out of Luke’s arms and turn around.
“Very nice.” Luke gives me a partial smile. His eyes are hot when he lifts his gaze to mine.
“I agree,” Caden says. “What do you think, little nympho? Would you like the live show too?”
What does that mean? My brow furrows as I glance over at Caden.
He strokes his hand over the front of his jeans, where his hard cock is definitely straining. My eyes widen. Oh, fuck.
“Of course she does.” Luke turns my desk chair around to face the bed and grabs my hips. He sits down and pulls me to sit on his lap. Heat floods my face at the press of Luke’s erection against my ass.
“I still need to dry my hair and do my makeup.” I try to get up, but Luke wraps an arm around my waist.
“You’ll have time if you help Caden out,” Luke says against my ear.
Help him out? What the fuck does that mean? I flush with heat as Caden lowers his pants and sits in front of me with his erect cock in his fist. It’s even bigger in real life, I swear.
