Chapter 48
The Bugle Call
Harper
When my alarm goes off, I reach out to snooze it, but I’m stuck between two hard bodies. I’m getting used to waking up like this. Though lately, I’ve woken halfway to coming… Caden hands me my phone, and I turn off the alarm.
My new life is so fucking weird.
I stretch between them, feeling their erections against my stomach and ass. My insides light up, but I shut that down quickly, especially with the aching soreness between my legs.
Maybe I should’ve been content with one time. I don’t want to open my eyes and face today.
It’s time. I need to get ready for school.
“Morning, little nympho.” Caden’s voice is gruff as he strokes his hand down my side. Sparks follow his hand eagerly. I almost groan at how much my body craves their touch.
Luke stretches behind me. His arm tightens around my waist. “This would work better at Caden’s or my house. I have a king-sized bed.”
“I wasn’t aware I’d have company when I was ten and got a new bed.” I squeak as a hand goes between my legs. Turning over, I glare at Luke. “Not this morning.”
He captures the back of my neck and kisses me with a command I’m too weak to resist. Fuck morning breath. I melt into him as he slides on top of me. His cock rests against my pussy, and for a second, I wish there weren’t panties and boxers between us.
“I’m going to use the bathroom. Don’t fuck.” Caden chuckles as he shifts off the bed, and my bathroom door closes.
Luke lifts his mouth from mine and rubs a thumb across my lower lip. I open my eyes to his. This morning, they’re soft blue, like the morning sky. He searches mine, and for a moment, it feels like he’s letting me in. To see a side of him no one else does.
My heart beats a little harder. I don’t know what to do. I need to get ready for school, but a part of me wants to pull him down and explore everything we can be together.
He brushes my hair off my forehead. “We need to be quiet this morning.” His fingers trail down my cheek, making me shiver with awareness. “We’ll need to work on your ability to not be loud, princess, but I love how noisy you are when you come.”
I press my thighs together at the ache building there. My hand slides up his neck into his soft hair. “Does that mean we’re going to practice this week?”
“All the time, princess.” He lowers his mouth to mine, and I meet him halfway.
I should be mad at him for the way he treated me yesterday, but right now I can’t seem to find the will to shove him away. There’s that part of me that’s so grateful for his help yesterday. And the other part that’s more than willing to take anything he wants to give me.
He presses his body down on mine, and my legs part so he can settle against me fully. His heated eyes hold mine. He knows he could have me, that I would let him in to fulfill that ache he stirs.
When the bathroom door opens, Luke kisses me briefly before climbing off me to go into the bathroom. Before I can move, Caden crawls up my body, and I grin at his predatory smile. He captures my lips and claims them for his own.
These boys own me. Fully. And I can’t get enough.
My breathing is heavy when he lifts away from me and sits on the edge of the bed.
I try to steady my breathing and calm down the need pulsing through my veins. The shower turns on in the bathroom, and Luke opens the door. Completely naked. All hard, toned muscles.
Fuck, they don’t play fair.
He holds out his hand to me. “Come on. Your mom will just think you took a really long shower.”
I sit up. It’s not like we haven’t showered together, but here? Now? My mouth opens and closes. Me naked with them is a recipe for fucking.
“If we take separate showers, your mom will be suspicious, little nympho.” Caden traces his finger over my thigh, right below Luke’s shirt. “Luke will only take a little while, and then I’ll switch out with him.”
Yeah, that doesn’t exactly cool down the fire burning inside. Showering together makes sense, but that ache isn’t just need this morning. There’s a twinge of pain ache too.
“Why do I have the feeling I’m going to be very clean today?” I scoot to the end of the bed and walk over to Luke.
“We like to be thorough.” Luke’s wicked grin makes my heart pound. Caden follows me into the bathroom and draws off my shirt, while Luke lowers my panties. Naked, I tremble between the two of them.
Awareness and desire flow over me, making me want to forget about the pain and dive headfirst into the pleasure.
Luke draws me into the shower. Unlike Caden’s massive shower, mine is built for two people. At most. Luke is not a small guy, but there’s a little room to move.
Our wet bodies slide against each other as he washes his hair. I grab my soap and rub it around his chest. His smile makes my heart beat harder. After he rinses his hair, he fills his hand with soap before rubbing his palms together.
The minute his hands touch my body, I gasp. He’s as thorough as promised, touching every part of me while I try to focus on washing him. When he steps back to rinse in the shower, he draws me under the spray head and takes my mouth.
His fingers slide between my thighs and stroke my pussy. The shower door opens, and Caden closes in behind me. His hands join Luke’s on me, and I can’t think. Their skin brushes mine, trapping me between them. Luke’s mouth devours mine while Caden kisses the back of my neck.
Fingers thrust inside me. I’m wet, but I hiss at the slight pain.
“Sore, princess?”
I open my eyes to those soft blue ones and nod with a slight frown. I don’t want to be sore.
“We’ll take it easy then, little nympho.” Caden’s hands move up to my breasts, and I lean back against him, watching Luke with hooded eyes.
Luke continues to tease my pussy before taking my nipple into his mouth. Desire flows through me hot and heavy. When he teases my clit, my hips follow his hand, chasing my release. Caden kisses that spot on my shoulder that makes me forget how to breathe.
Moaning, I come, writhing between them. Luke smiles and captures my mouth with his before slipping out the shower door and drying off. He leans against the bathroom door and watches as Caden helps me with my hair.
In turn, I help him soap his entire body. His cock is hard just like Luke’s, but he doesn’t let me spend much time on it. Neither had Luke.
We rinse, and Luke holds open a towel for me to step into. Caden grabs a towel and dries himself. When Luke opens the bedroom door, we all go get dressed. The guys pull out their clothes from their backpacks while I go to my closet.
I put on soft pink panties and bra set. Then a black, knee-length skater skirt with a t-shirt before putting on Caden’s jersey. I slip into the bathroom, blow-dry my hair, and brush my teeth before putting on makeup. When I come out, the guys are sitting on the end of my bed.
When Luke holds out his hand, I take it. He reels me in and lifts my skirt. His finger traces the edge of my panties. “Behave—”
“Or these will belong to you?” I raise an eyebrow. Same old material.
He chuckles and stands in my space, grabbing the back of my neck to keep me from stepping back. He leans in close to my ear, “No, princess. I’ll take you into a closet and rip these from your body and fuck you until you scream.”
Oh fuck, these panties are soaked. That ache is still there, and I’m not sure if it’s pain or need now.
His gloating smile should raise my hackles. Instead I want to draw him back in and make him show me. Caden grabs my skirt and tugs me his direction.
“I like the way you look in my jersey.” Caden slides his finger over a mark on my neck. I lean into his touch, longing for more. His green eyes hold mine. “It’s like I own you.”
Pretty sure he does own me. My insides soften, and fuck if I don’t want to climb on his lap and let him do naughty things to me.
Caden chuckles and stands with us. “We need to get that ass ready for prime time, starting tonight.”
He grabs my ass. I release a breath and shiver. Apparently nice guy time is over.
“Still not on board with the butt stuff.” I shake my head and walk over to grab my backpack.
“You came so hard when my fingers fucked your ass, little nympho. You’re going to love having a cock buried in it.”
My cheeks burn with heat as I straighten. Yeah, I’m not pressing that particular button today. I smooth down my skirt and then look at the hulking football players in my bedroom.
“I should make sure Mom didn’t stay up before you guys come out.” Taking a breath, I leave my room, shutting the door quietly behind me.
The house is silent, but that doesn’t mean anything. I head down the stairs and into the kitchen. Mom sits at the island with a glass of water in front of her.
“I started the coffee.” She sighs wistfully. “But I need to go to sleep.”
She gestures to the coffeepot.
“Thanks. Why are you still up?” I try to appear normal as I grab a coffee cup and fill it. My gaze flicks to the hallway, not sure how to tell the guys the coast is definitely not clear.
“Rough night. I needed to clear my head before I go to sleep.” She gives me a weak smile. “How was your night? Did you sleep okay?”
“Mmhmm.” I sip my coffee to keep from having to say anything else. I have to figure out how to get Luke and Caden out of my house without Mom seeing them.
“You driving today, or is someone coming to pick you up?” Mom doesn’t look like she’s leaving until I do. This is way too complicated. There has to be a better solution.
I make my lunch and text the guys to let them know my mom is in the kitchen and not going anywhere quick.
“Maybe I should stay with a friend tonight?” I say it but I don’t know how I’m going to sell it. We can stay at Luke’s or Caden’s with their bigger beds and no parents to worry about finding us. Of course, I doubt Mom would be cool with me staying at a guy’s house. Especially with no parents.
“Kenz?” Mom looks suspicious, with good reason. Kenz has younger siblings who are little terrors, and their house—while nice-sized—isn’t big enough for their family. And Kenz is messy, like the floor may or may not exist below the things on it.
I nibble on my lip, trying to think. “I was thinking maybe Penny.”
“Penny?” Mom raises a skeptical eyebrow.
“Penny Wright.” I pack my lunch into my bag. “She’s this girl I started hanging out with, and she said it would be okay to stay with her while you work.”
“Do I know her parents?” Mom’s brow scrunches as she does mental gymnastics to figure out who Penny is.
“I don’t think so. We never really hung out until this year, but if you want, I can ask her for her mom’s number so you can call.
” I cross my fingers that it will be too much trouble.
Maybe Penny will cover for me, but then I’d have to figure out how to pay her back.
And that would mean punishment from Eli…
Unless I prove to him it’s useful to have those girls as friends.
“I should probably have her number in case I can’t reach you.” Mom stands and stretches. “Okay, sweetie, I’m heading to bed. Have a great day at school. Don’t forget your condoms.”
I choke on a mouthful of the coffee I just took a drink from. Hoping she doesn’t suspect anything, I say, “Oh, think I’m going to need more. And bigger ones too.”
“Ha ha. I’ll see you after school. We’ll talk about your nightly arrangements then.” She blows me a kiss and disappears down the hallway. The stairs creak as she steps on the third one.
A knock sounds at the door. My eyebrows raise. The others wouldn’t come to give me a ride with Caden and Luke here. I walk over and look out the window at Caden.
“How did you…?” I open the door, and he steps in.
“Luke’s waiting in the car. You ready?” He grabs my backpack and jerks his head toward the door.
I blow out a breath and nod. Fuck it, I’m just glad I didn’t have to do a weird misdirection thing to get them out. I lock the door before following him to Luke’s car. “How did you guys get out?”
“Secret, little nympho.” Caden laughs low. “I’m going to go down the block and get my car. You ride with Luke. And behave yourself. You don’t need to be punished today.”
He grabs the back of my neck and kisses me before I can protest about behaving. It’s not my fault Luke finds everything I do vexing.
“Fuck, I love seeing you in my jersey. I’m totally fucking you wearing that.”
Pressing my lips together, I blush and hold out my hand for my backpack.
Handing it to me, Caden grins as he backs away. “Sorry, little nympho, just being honest.”
I open the door to Luke’s car and slip inside. His EDM plays low.
“Ready?”
Not even a little. Today is going to be hell. “Sure.”
