Her heart skipped a beat at the sincerity in his gaze—the shadow of hurt he’d mentioned.

"I didn’t mean to," she whispered back. "I didn’t know."

"We know." Then his lips took hers, while a tender hand rubbed over her sore bottom, and different hands gripped her thighs and spread them wide.

"Mmm…" The soft, hot tongue lapping through her folds practically had her eyes rolling back into her head, as she groaned into Jake’s mouth.

Josh.

"God, baby," Jonah growled, while his fingers went once more to her back passage—teasing with little circles. All the sensations had her panting and wanting more. "I wish you could see how beautiful this is."

"Mmm…" Josh hummed against her flesh, followed by a rumbling, "So wet. So delicious."

"It’s time to take this to the bed."

Alyssa was all for Jonah’s suggestion. If that’s what his harsh demand could be called.

The two mouths groaned against her, both sending a tingle of need—and maybe a case of the jitters—through her as Jonah stood with her cradled against him. She was about to embark into completely unknown territory as Josh pulled the comforter and a top sheet down. Her breathing matched her racing heart, while Jonah’s pounded out its own erratic rhythm against her, before he carefully laid her in the middle of the massive bed.

Was he as anxious as she was? Though his anxiousness probably didn’t come from the same place hers had. What if she wasn’t enough for them? It was hard enough pleasing one man.

Butthree?

The temptation to cover herself forced her to clench her fingers and twist the soft, dove gray sheet beneath her, while her gaze tracked two of the brothers moving around the bed—Joshstopping at the foot of the bed and Jake going around to the opposite side from where Jonah had remained.

"Okay, baby," Jonah said, taking one wrist. Jake took the other, while her ankles were both taken in Josh’s grip. "You need to understand something."

"Alyssa?"

Her gaze flashed to a slightly grinning Jake, who tugged at her wrist.

"Can you let go?"

"Oh," she murmured releasing what had become a death grip. "Okay." She willed herself to relax, then cast her attention back onto anotgrinning Jonah. "What do I need to understand?"

"This is all about you," he said, gently pulling her arm toward the headboard, as Jake did the same and Josh spread her legs wide.

"Me?" She almost managed not to sound like a squeaking mouse—almost. So, she cleared her throat. "But what about y?—"

"Wedon’t matter," Josh added in, while something besides his fingers slipped around one ankle. She flashed her gaze down her body to find a padded, leather strap wrapped around it—one he tightened.

"Wh…what are you doing?" Her rushed question accompanied her quickly bending her other leg up and away—pulling it free from his grip. The realization her arms werealsospread out had her giving hurried glances at both Jonah and Jake. Both men held similar straps intheirfree hands. "What is happening?"

She tugged on their unrelenting holds, while Josh took hold of her untethered ankle again and spread it to where he’d had it. She didn’t look down. She didn’t need to. Another strap had tightened around it.

Her pussy clenched in response, while the bed dipped between her legs and her widening gaze managed to tear away from Jonah’s to where Josh had settled between her thighs. Her core flooded at his ruddy cheeks and taut expression, then clenched again when he took a deep breath of her essence.

"Well, I mean, Iknowwhat’s happening," she croaked, her gaze flying from Josh, to Jake, then to Jonah as her wrists were also bound. Where was she supposed to look? "I just?—"

"Baby, all we want is for you to feel."

She yanked at her wrists and ankles, testing her bonds. They weren’t so tight they cut off her circulation, but she definitely wasn’t getting out of them. She also wasn’t spreadeagled to the point she couldn’t move a little. All she knew was…

I’m at their mercy.

Was that a bad thing or?—

"Oh." Her hips rose at the first swipe of Josh’s tongue, then remained off the mattress as her fingers spread out, toes curled, and body strained, pushing herself into his intimate kiss. Mouths surrounded her breasts, sucking and licking. "God…"
