Page 93 of Ten Hammers

I blink at them all as the firelight flickers behind them, and I’m suddenly nervous as fuck because I know what I want.

How sturdy is the bed in that tent, I wonder.

“It’s okay if you want to go into the tent with Cruz, Winnie,” Axel says. “Go. Have fun.” Then he adds, to Cruz, “Just bring her back in one piece, alright?”

Cruz looks surprised, and turns to me, brow raised.

I glance at the tent as waves of desire wash over me. Still, I hesitate.

Then I meet Axel’s eyes and hope he correctly interprets the meaningful look I give him as I say, “Actually, could we… could we go…?”

My heart is starting to race so hard that I can’t get the words out right at all. Cruz and Diesel wear matching expressions of confusion as they try to figure out what I want.

“Give us a second, guys,” Axel says.

Diesel is still confused, but Cruz looks positively deflated as Axel takes my hand and leads me away from the fire pit, behind one of the trees ringing the campsite.

I lean against the tree, reminding myself to breathe. My heart is… no pun intended… hammering in my chest. Axel looks down at me, his eyebrows raised slightly. The expression on his face is so gentle, so serious.

“Are you okay, Win?” he asks. “Are you trying to say you’re ready for…?”

I nod, my face growing hot. “Did you bring lube?” I whisper, practically choking on the words.

Axel reaches up, his fingertips skimming the side of my face. “Yes, sweetheart, I brought lube,” he whispers back. “And remember what I said. There’s nothing for you to be embarrassed about.”

I reach up on my toes and kiss him. “I’m ready.”

“Okay,” he says. “But just because you want to experiment with this doesn’t mean everything has to happen tonight, alright? You can have fun with all of us without having to take all of our cocks at once, if you’re not ready for that.”

Oh. My. God. I am going to spontaneously combust. Did Axel Hammer really just say that to me?

“I googled positions,” I confess. “It’s kind of like human Tetris and I am not as bendy as women in porn. But I’m ready.”

The corner of his mouth quirks up. “Well, damn. But you know, googling positions could’ve been an activity we did as a couple.”

“The thought of looking at the naked perfect bodies of other women with you does not appeal to me.”

“Oh, Win. I wouldn’t have been looking at the screen. I would’ve been watching your face while you looked at the screen.”

He sounds so sincere, I know his words are true. Yep. Definitely going to spontaneously combust.

Suddenly we’re locked in the most passionate kiss of my life and that’s saying a lot. Before I know what’s happening, Axel has literally swept me off my feet. My back rests against the tree and my legs are around his waist and he’s grinding his cock into me.

“Hey! You two get eaten by a bear or something?” Cruz calls.

Axel and I break apart.

“Do you regret not being on a one-on-one date?” I ask him, breathless.

He shakes his head. “Not a bit. Are you ready?”

I chew my lip. “I don’t really know what to say to them. How do I even start? Should I just tell them I want to have sex with all of you at the same time?”

My nerves are beginning to fill my head with doubts again.

“You can,” he says. “Or I can get things started for you. It’ll be fine, I promise.” He puts me down and takes my hand and we walk back to Diesel and Cruz, who wait expectantly.

“There must be a breeze behind that tree we’re not gettin’ over here,” Diesel teases, “because your hair has gotten all mussed up, dollface.”
