Forever Eva [Sequel to When Kat's Away] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) (20 page)

“Tony,” Zach said. “Why don’t you use your fingers to distract our lady?”

She groaned harshly when she felt Tony’s finger sliding over her clit
.

“Adding a third finger now, love.” Slowly he pushed his fingers in and out of her bottom, the burn morphing into some kind of wicked pleasure.

“It’s time, darlin’. Just relax, and I’ll do all the work.” Slowly, Zach pushed the lubricated crown of his cock through the tight ring of muscle. A burning feeling gripped her as he slowly forced the length of his shaft into her body. He kept the pace slow and steady, while at the same time he used his hands to pluck at her nipples. She felt like she was drowning in a sea of sensation.

“I’m not gonna last, Zach,” Tony gasped.

“Me either,” Zach growled. He began to pump in and out, setting up a rhythm with Tony where when one was fully seated the other was withdrawing. With a keening moan, Eva let her head fall back to Tony’s chest.

“I feel so full,” she gasped.

“You’re so tight, darlin’. Your body’s trying to squeeze my cock to death.”

“I’m gonna come again.” Eva panted and then screamed. Her head went back, her eyes closed, and her body went limp with the force of her climax. She shivered, the pleasure so overwhelming she had to bite her lip to keep from weeping.

Zach felt the muscles contract around his cock as she climaxed. It was enough to send him over the edge. He continued thrusting into her as his cock exploded deep inside her body. Tony cried out, his hands tightening on her hips. After a moment, Zach caught his breath and separated their bodies, collapsing onto the mattress beside them. He scooped Eva into a tight embrace and covered her mouth in a deep kiss, his tongue thrusting into her silky depths.

Zach watched her turn her head and give her lips to Tony. When she turned back, she looked at him with dazed blue eyes, her face rosy in the aftermath of passion, her body faintly marked where their hands and mouth had explored her. He threw his arm over her and encountered Tony’s hand. Tony looked over, hesitated for a moment, and then joined his hand with Zach’s on Eva’s stomach. He smiled, then closed his eyes and snuggled closer to her warm body.

Zach closed his eyes.
I’d give anything if we could go back to Eva’s time. Life would be simpler, and her family wouldn’t think anything was wrong with our relationship.
He opened his eyes and looked over at Tony.
He’s never gonna be able to take this relationship public.

Eva glanced around at the tall trees, well-tended bright-green grass, and worn park benches and sighed. “Why’d you bring me here?”

Zack twined his fingers with hers. “Cause you seemed a little down and I thought you might enjoy some time in the park.”

“It is beautiful here. In some ways, it reminds me of home with none of your citified trappings spoiling the view.”

“Do you miss your home so much?”

She looked around and bit her lip. “Yes, I miss it very much, but not as much as I’d miss the two of you if I wasn’t with you.” She rubbed her fingers up and down his arm. “I just know I’m meant to be here, and that’s good enough for me.”

Zach pulled her into his arms and buried his face in her neck. “I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you, pretty lady.” He took her hand and walked further into the park. “So, what do you think?”

Eva studied the big iron fence that separated the park from the street, while the smell of freshly mown grass and blooming flowers filled her senses. “I love it.” The wind through the leaves brought the sounds of birds squawking and dogs barking, but the rhythmic
whoosh
of swings going back and forth caught her attention. Two small girls pumped their legs, straining for height as their giggles floated on the air.

“We had swings back behind the saloon when I was little. Papa Zeke made them with ropes and wooden planks. I’d talk David and Win into pushing me whenever I could. They hated it, but Mama would make them do it.”

“Sounds like you had a happy childhood.”

She smiled. “Very happy. We didn’t have much in the way of money, but our house was always full of love.”

“Did you always know your mother came from the future?”

“She never lied to us, but she didn’t tell us the whole story until I was about nine years old. She said she wanted to make sure we could understand that it wasn’t a story we could share with anyone.”

“How did it make you feel?”

She laughed. “Like we were the most special children that ever lived. We had something nobody else did, and probably never would. At that time no one thought the portal would ever work again. She’d been trying to figure out how to open it for years.”

“I know you said she didn’t, but do you really think the idea of going home wasn’t somewhere in the back of her mind?”

“No, I believe she just wanted to let folks know she was okay. She figured Kat thought she was dead, and she didn’t want her to mourn.”

Zach raised her hand and pressed a kiss against her palm. “I’m glad she was able to give you a good life.” He gazed off into the distance. “Come on. Let’s see what else we can find.”

Eva followed him to a pathway that circled a fat, tranquil pond. Nearby, an old man hunched at the end of a bench, tossing seeds down to the greedy pigeons at his feet. Wheezing runners stumbled their way around the pond, making her think of nags at home that were lame or too old to run.

Zach walked over to a woman selling little bags. He gave her some money, took one of her bags, and hurried back to Eva. Grinning, he led her to a tree, motioning for her to take a seat.

Eva sank down, the spiky grass prickling her calves. When she leaned back, the rough bark of the tree dug into her back.

Zach handed her the small bag. “Just throw them into the grass, and the birds will swarm to pick them up.”

She dug her hand into the bag, the smooth pellets sliding against her fingers and palm. When she tossed it, the birds flocked to pick it up from the grassy carpet. As she watched their antics, she plucked a wild flower, feeling its silky petals. “What about you, Zach? Did you have a happy childhood?”

He shrugged and started pulling petals off a flower. “It was okay, but nothing special. I grew up in Minneapolis.”

“Do you have any brothers or sisters?”

“I have one sister.”

“Is she still in Minneapolis?”

“As far as I know, she is. Becky got married a few years ago, and we haven’t kept in touch.” He snorted. “I don’t have what you’d call a close family. We don’t have reunions or big holiday get-togethers. Once we got old enough to get out on our own, we never looked back.”

“That’s sad. I don’t think I’d know what to do if I didn’t have a loving family to support me in the good times and the bad ones.”

Zach peered at her closely. “Are you gonna be happy enough with just Tony and me for a family?”

She started and looked up. “I’m hoping I’ll have a big family someday. Don’t you want children?”

He leaned back and gazed up at the sky. “I’ve never really thought about it, to be honest. I guess things were so bad growing up I never thought it’d be right to bring children into the world.” He looked over at Eva and smiled. “But I can see life with you would be a lot different than the way we lived. I’d sure be willing to consider having a big family if it was with you and Tony.”

She ran her finger along Zach’s arm, watching as goose bumps formed along his skin. “Maybe we should head back to the house and talk about it some more.”

Zach grinned and jumped to his feet, holding out his hand to help Eva up.

She brushed off her bottom and frowned. “What’s that man doing?”

“What man?”

Eva pointed. “The man walking that little dog on that strap.”

Zach looked where she pointed. “He’s just walking his dog.”

She lowered her voice. “The little dog did his business there in the grass, and the man pulled out some bright red bag from his pocket and scooped it up. Why in tarnation would he save it?”

Zach barked out a laugh. “Honey, that’s the law. If you walk your dog in the park, you have to have some means of taking away their waste. The bags are called pooper scoopers.”

Her mouth dropped open, and she giggled. “Well, I never. It’s a good thing we didn’t have laws like that back in my day.”

Zach frowned. “Why is that?”

Eva laughed and then pressed her hand against her mouth. “The local livery paid a man two dollars to take a shovel and a barrel around twice a week to clean the streets back home. I don’t think that little red bag would have worked.”

Snickering, Zach grabbed her hand. “Come on, woman. Let’s go home and talk about that family you want.”

“Well, hello, stranger. Haven’t seen you around lately.”

Tony looked up at Laura’s smiling face and frowned. “Sit down, Laura. It’s time we had a little talk.”

Still smiling, she sank into the chair, leaning forward to rest her elbows on his desk. “Sure thing, handsome. What’s up?”

Tony moved back far enough so she couldn’t accidently touch him, and studied her for a moment. She was attractive in a way, but there was a hardness about her that made her appear cold and unfeeling. He took a deep breath. “I understand you paid a visit to my houseguest.”

Laura’s eyes widened for a moment, and then she sank back in the chair, her lips firmed into a thin line. “Guess I’m not really surprised the little princess tattled on me. Did she bother to tell you she was in the process of burning the place down when I showed up? You should be thanking me.”

“What are you talking about?”

She studied her nails. “When I showed up, the smoke alarm was going off where she was trying to cook something. You’re lucky you still have a house.”

He leaned back and gave her a small smile. “And I suppose you saved the day by putting out the fire.”

She looked toward the window. “Yes, I helped the little princess out.”

He knew she was lying. Eva had spent some time telling them of her attempts to cook on the gas burners and what happened each time.
Why the hell would she lie about something like that?
“Okay, if you helped her, I’m grateful, but that doesn’t change the fact that I want you to stay away from my house in the future. I can’t be any plainer than that.”

Her face turned a rosy red. “Come on, Tony, give me a chance. We had a good thing before this woman showed up. Besides, what do you really know about her? She was pretty damn vague when I asked some really simple questions. Somebody like that’s not gonna stick around like I would.” She reached out her hand and laid it on his arm. “We could be so good together.”

Tony pulled his arm back and stood up. “You’ve already heard my response to your offer. There is nothing now, nor will there ever be anything of a personal nature between us. Stay away from my house and my girl. Are we clear?”

Laura came to her feet, her hands fisted at her side. “Crystal. Just don’t come running to me when your
girl
does a number on you.”

Tony watched as she stomped away from his desk. Several of his coworkers stopped to watch as she made her way across the room, radiating anger as she went. He’d started to sit when an officer walked up. Smiling, Tony held out his hand. “Office Kevin Nance, what’re you doing here? I thought you were permanently assigned to the night shift.”

Kevin grinned and shook his hand. “I am because it’s the only way I can spend time with my wife. She works nights at the hospital.”

“What can I do for you, officer?”

Kevin pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Tony. “It’s more what I can do for you.”

“What is this?”

“I think it’s where you can find that blue truck you put out a BOLO on. It belongs to a man that lives out past Andrew’s ranch. The family’s been in the area over thirty years. When we stopped by, the man’s wife told us that some kids must have stolen the tag and they hadn’t noticed.”

Tony looked at the paper. “Edward Welsh. I’ve never heard the name. Does he have a record?”

“Not that I found. Andrew’s dad said they’re a quiet bunch, but he’s never been formally introduced. Said the man works hard on their little place, but he’d never seen them socialize much. I couldn’t find anything on him to suggest he’d ever been in trouble. Father married a local girl thirty years ago and fathered two sons. The mother and brother are gone. They’ve got a small, self-contained farm that just feeds their family. I can’t imagine why he’d be hanging around your neighborhood.”

“I really appreciate your help. I think I’ll mosey on down and have a little talk to Edward Welsh and just ask him why my house is so interesting.”

Chapter 11

 

Eva giggled as Zach scooped her into his arms and carried her to the running shower. They’d arrived back at the house, and he’d immediately taken her upstairs and stripped off her clothes. Her fingers traced his hairline as he stepped into the shower with her in his arms.

Letting her slide down his body, he covered her lips with his. The kiss was lazy and unhurried as he eased his tongue forward to gently tease hers. Cupping her cheek, he brushed his thumb tenderly back and forth across her full lips. His lean hands framed her face as he slowly bent toward her parting lips. Thrusting his tongue in her mouth, he ground his cock into her belly.
