He tossed her on the bed. Her robe gaped open showing off the breasts he’d dreamed of every night since he’d met her. They were beautiful and a bit rounder after having their son, with skin so soft he’d never been able to forget the feel of it. Just like he’d thought, her nipples were hard little nubs. And for the first time, there was just a bit of fear in those green eyes.
Yeah, he liked that, too. His cock throbbed in his jeans when he considered all the nasty, explicit things he could do to her.
Every muscle in his body was on full alert. He’d dreamed of this, of having her again. Of sinking into her body and never leaving. “Pull the robe wide open. Let me see every fucking inch of you. ”
Her mouth firmed, and he watched as she undoubtedly decided whether or not to defy him. Her hands finally went to the tie of her robe, and she pulled it open quickly, without a hint of seduction.
If she thought that was going to deter him, she had another thing coming.
As Jessa revealed her body to him, Cole noted the differences. She carried a few more curves. She had a few stretch marks and a straight scar across her lower abdomen.
“I had a C-section. If it bothers you, I can get dressed. ” She started to pull the robe on again, but Cole pushed her hands away.
“You’re beautiful. ” His whole body responded to her. Every cell inside him felt like it was coming to life after a long period of hibernation. He’d been surviving since the moment he’d walked away from her. Just existing. Now he felt alive again.
This woman in front of him was all that mattered. Jessa, his brother, and the son they had made together. If they were the only people in his world, he would be fine with that. He shoved aside everything else. No more guilt. No more doubt. No more hiding away. He had a new mission. To make Jessa love him again.
And Cole Lennox never failed a mission.
* * * *
Jessa held her breath. He’d said she was beautiful, but she knew she looked different than the last time he’d seen her naked. Her breasts weren’t as perky. They had fed a child for nearly three months. She had scars from her surgery and stretch marks. She wasn’t some perfect little virgin anymore. She was a woman, and she had the marks to prove it.
Was this a huge mistake? Probably, but it was hers to make. She wanted Cole and Burke. She wanted to remember what it felt like to be wanted one last time.
Oh, she wasn’t going to take them back. She couldn’t trust them. They could talk a good game, but she didn’t dare open her heart up to them again. She just wanted tonight. Well, maybe a few nights. A few kisses and caresses and memories to keep her warm when they were gone again. That probably made her an idiot, but she’d never wanted anyone but them. They’d used her, and she still wanted them. This was her last chance to get over them.
“Baby, you’re so fucking gorgeous. ” Cole stared down at her.
“Fuck. I didn’t think I would get to see you this way again. ” Burke breathed the words out. He stood beside his brother, his previous anger seemingly spent. Burke had been willing to fight. Cole hadn’t. He’d closed in on himself. The walls he’d seemingly placed between them had enraged Jessa. But he’d still seen her, read her need. That was all that mattered now.
“I haven’t lost all my baby weight. ” Now she was nervous. Without the anger raging through her system, she felt vulnerable, a little worried.
Cole’s eyes went hard. “Not another disparaging word. You’re beautiful, Jessa. I won’t let anyone insult you, even yourself. ”
He was using that voice on her, the one that went to a deep, dark place when he took control. It was rich and oozed authority. Burke’s rich tone was pure seduction, but when Cole started telling her what to do in that dark honeyed growl of his, she couldn’t resist him.
“Put your hands over your head. It’s been a long time, and I want to inspect you. I want to learn your body all over again. ”
Jessa winced. She just wanted to have sex, but he was going to drag this out, make it a lavish, prolonged affair. A glance into his resolute face told her that he wouldn’t take no for an answer. She’d pushed, and now she had to take what he gave her. Oh, he would listen to her, but then he’d do exactly what he pleased. If she was going to get what she wanted, she’d have to play by Cole’s rules. It rankled, but she also found an odd sense of security in it. He wouldn’t let her fall, not in bed. He would take care of her. Burke would, too. They talked a good game, but it was still possible they’d walk away the instant Delgado no longer threatened her. But they would be utterly here with her now.
It was the only place she could trust them.
She let her hands drift up, threading her fingers together.
“Very good, baby. Now spread your legs. We want to see our pussy again. ”
She wanted to argue about the “our” part, but it was true. In the year since they had left, she hadn’t even thought about another man. She’d met many attractive men, but not a one made her feel the way these two did. None had been as commanding as Cole or as smoothly seductive as Burke. Not one of those men had haunted her dreams or held a candle to their memories.
Her heart raced as she let her knees fall to the sides, and her legs opened to them, the cool air of the room sliding over her. She felt her nipples peak even tighter. Her skin came alive under their watchful gazes.
“Wider,” Cole barked.
She stretched her legs out, putting her pussy on full display.
Burke breathed in, filling his lungs. “She smells delicious. Jesus…”
His voice wobbled, and he licked his lips. Jessa’s pussy pulsed at the thought of his talented tongue on her, lashing her with pleasure until she couldn’t see straight. Burke could feast on her for what felt like forever.
