She wasn’t sure if he felt her trembling fear or realizedthe sheer desperation to get away gleaming in her eyes, but Zane’s own angerabated immediately with shock. Letting her go he watched with disturbedconfusion as she scooted all the way back until she was practically cocooningherself in Reid’s chest.

“Sshh baby, I got you,” Reid’s arm wrapped heavily aroundher waist. Burying his face into the crook of her neck, he continued to whispereverything was ok.

Still somewhat lost in her own fear, Everly watched as Zanedragged his betrayed eyes from hers and looked up and over her head at Reid.She wasn’t sure what was exchanged but whatever it was only seemed to make Zaneangrier. The flash of anger in his eyes before falling onto his back with agrunt told her as much.

“You have to understand that we would never hurt you,” Reidcontinued, ignoring his brother’s mounting ire as he continued to stroke thedip of her waist soothingly. “Zane is still just angry, he nearly lost youtoday, he is still shaken by it.” Reid’s hand flattened over the curve of herhips and tightened possessively. “Hell, I’m shook by it, and I wasn’t there,”his voice rasped, tightening with emotion. “I have to say, he handled it awhole helluva lot better than me, because baby,” he paused, waiting for her toturn her head to look up at him questioningly, marine blue eyes danced withdark promise. “You would be chained to the bed if it were me.”

Appalled she flinched under the heavy weight of his hand.“Don’t say that!”

Kissing her quickly on the lips before she had a chance toturn away, Reid buried his face back into the crook of her neck. “Mmm but Iwill say it because, let me tell you, I’m not a strong enough man to handlewhat Zane did,” he replied without one ounce of remorse. “We can’t lose you,Everly, not after just finding you.”

Looking at Zane again, Everly’s heart lurched with pain ashe continued to stare at the ceiling, the muscle along his jaw twitchingviolently.

“So, believe me when I say neither I nor Zane would everraise a hand to you baby, you have to believe that.”

Zane “tsked” deep in his throat with disgust as he shovedaside his covers prepared to stand, and in that moment Everly realized.

Without thinking her arm shot out from her protective cocoonand grabbed onto Zane’s arm. The firm muscled flesh tensed under her grip, andeven though she was only a fraction of his strength, Zane allowed her to holdhim in place.

“Zane…” she wasn’t sure what to say, she just knew that shedidn’t want him to continue feeling that way –disgusted.

Her fear had insulted him and, on some level, she couldunderstand that she didn’t agree at all with his methods, but she understoodhis hurt.

“I…I hate to be yelled at,” she stammered in a whisper,averting her eyes from his, she stared off into the room’s darkness rememberingher father’s fury. “I don’t want to fight, I don’t want to get hurt again.”

Coming closer, Zane cradled her face with both hands andpressed his lips to hers softly. Whimpering in relief, Everly relaxed into hiskiss letting him take the lead. The feel of Reid’s large body pressing into herback as Zane delved deeper into her mouth sucking gently at her tongue was astorm of sensations. The enveloping feeling of being held completely at the mercyof these two men was scary and arousing all at once.

“I would never hurt you, sweetheart, let me show you howmuch I love you,” Zane whispered against her parting lips.

Her heart thudded in her chest in warning.

“Clothes off,” Reid ordered. Two pairs of hands beganpulling at her clothes.

“No Reid…wait,” grabbing for her pants, the flannel materialwas pulled down her legs and just out of reach, while her button-down matchingpajama shirt was undone and stripped away.

“Mmmm no.” Reid purred simply against her neck as heunclasped her bra and pulled it down her arms. “You know you want us. The wayyou softened in my arms earlier tonight told me as much.”

Zane slipped her underwear down her legs leaving hercompletely naked between them. “You were practically ready to ride my face inthe shower, my love, so why fight now?”

Mortification heated her face and renewed her fight, pushingat Zane’s roaming hands she shook her head. “No, that…that was a mistake,” shecouldn’t say it wasn’t true, even now she was shamefully heated all over bytheir savage need. “I was just scared. I just wanted you to hold me and not beangry.” Which was true!

Grabbing her hands Zane came closer until he was practicallypressing her against Reid. Her breath caught in her throat at the feel of theirhard arousal pressing into her front and back.

“Don’t worry sweetheart,” Zane held her hands firmly in hisgrip not allowing her to move, she could feel Reid’s hand spear through hercourse curls over her own desire. Zane grinned wickedly as she moaned at Reid’stouch. “We’re going to hold you all night, until you’re begging us.”

His words and Reid’s rough fingers slipping into her soakingchannel made her grow even wetter. Nipples peaked at the feel of Reid’s lowgroan rumbling through his chest behind her as he sunk his fingers deeper intoher. The last remaining bit of her sanity yelled at her to fight back, to stopthis but she ignored it focusing on the hot pressure of Zane’s mouth clampingroughly over her nipple. Tugging and biting, Zane filled her body with unheardof pleasure and pain as he mistreated her aching buds. Laying on her side,Everly could feel Reid’s long cock rubbing against the seam of her ass. Alarmedshe tried to jerk away from the foreign sensation, but the two men held herfirmly. Reaching down, Reid wrapped one hand around her thigh, lifting her leg.

“Reid, what are you…oh…oh God,” her words died into raggedmoans as she felt the hot head of his cock push into her dripping sex frombehind.

Reid’s guttural groan filled her ear as he pushed deeper instill, looking to seat himself to the hilt.

Whimpering, Everly could feel her inner walls quake andspasm at the invasion. Opening her eyes, she stared directly into Zane’s brightgaze, who was watching with open wild anticipation. Letting her legs fall ontop of his so that she still lay parted for him, Reid grabbed her hips, digginghis fingers into her soft flesh. Pulling his hips back, Reid thrusted forward,driving into her so fiercely she instinctively grabbed onto Zane.

“Fuck yes sweetheart,” Zane muttered against her breast, ashe slipped another bruised peak into his mouth enjoying her cry.

Holding her tight, Reid rocked into her with a savage pace.“Beg us to forgive you,” Reid growled in her ear.

No, shaking her head, she refused to be dominated this way.Zane’s movements barely registered in her mind as her body was consumed withthe overbearing pleasure Reid was causing. Thick callused fingers danced overher course thatch of curls. Surprised, Everly met Zane’s dark smile as hetraced small circles around her aching clit.
