Weekend Surrender (4 page)

“
Do you cook?” he asked, tilting his head to look her over.

“
What country girl in this region doesn’t cook?” she threw back arrogantly, and he laughed. 

“
Good, you’re on bread.  It will be nice to have someone around who knows butter from bananas.  There’s a loaf of French bread in the bread box, and I’m sure there’s garlic in the fridge.” He waited for her nod of acceptance before he turned back to the sauce he was preparing.  She couldn’t resist running her eyes over his body while he wasn’t looking.  How was it possible for a man to make a pair of Wranglers look that damn good?

Rachel focused on the task she had been given, and
listened as they all bantered back and forth.  You would think they were having a regular evening meal, not preparing a feast before they screwed her brains out.  Images of the four men stripping her clothing off, and having their wicked way with her, had her blood pumping hard in her ears, and she nearly forgot about the male bodies surrounding her in the ranch kitchen.  She jumped and a squeak slipped from her throat when Rogan moved behind her, and stroked his hand down the split of her ass. 

“
Hey!” she yelped, nailing him with an annoyed glare, as she waved a bread knife at him.  He lifted both hands and smiled innocently.

“
Sorry, close quarters, sexy,” he said with a wink, and she felt her anger dissipate. 

“
Mmm hmm.  I’ll just bet.  You shouldn’t play grab ass when I’m holding a knife.  I could accidentally slip and eliminate appendages,” she joked.

“
Nah, I’m not worried.  You haven’t gotten any use out of it yet, there isn’t a chance in hell you’re going to damage it,” Rogan teased back, and he winked at her flushed cheeks.

A moment later it was Hudson who was grabbing a handful of her ass as she moved past him to the refrigerator
.  This time the only acknowledgement from her was a gasp.  She refused to give him the satisfaction of facing him, so instead she continued what she was doing—bending to grab the butter from the bottom shelf of the fridge.

A hard erection pressed against the crack of her ass, causing her stomach to drop to her feet, and her throat to nearly close completely
.  This time she couldn’t keep her groan of desire inside, and Parker groaned back. 

“
Has anyone ever told you that you have a spectacular ass, sunshine?” he asked as she stood up in front of him, and he rubbed his cock along the seam of her cheeks.

She shook her head, and then let it fall back onto his shoulder
.  His hands clenched at her denim covered hips tightly, and he pressed a kiss just under her ear, drawing a whimper from her chest.  Goose bumps spread out over her skin, and her nipples sharpened into hard points.

S
omeone relieved her of the butter still in her hands, so Parker could turn her in his arms.  Pressing his muscular body tightly against her front, he swooped in for a kiss, and she reacted wantonly.  Her hands slid up to grip his short, dark hair at the nape of his neck, and she arched her breasts into his hard body.  His tongue battled with hers for possession of the kiss, and when she finally melted and opened to him, she could feel his pleasure at her submission, like sinful strokes over her skin.

When he released her mouth she was trembling, and her breath came out in choppy pants
.  The masculine self-satisfied smirk on his face didn’t even irritate her. Instead she found a part of her wanted to continue to make him happy. 

Lifting his head, he stared down into her eyes, and whispered,
“Sweet.” And her heart thudded in her chest as he released her and spun her around until she was facing Hudson who leaned against the fridge with a grin on his face, and the butter in his hands.

“
I love how you look with pink cheeks, honey,” Hudson said, and he leaned forward stopping just centimeters from her lips.  Her mouth dropped open in preparation for a kiss, only to be frozen when he did nothing but slide his tongue along her bottom lip.  “And I love how you taste.”

He pressed the butter into her trembling hands,
turned her back toward the kitchen counter, and nudged her forward.  She moved automatically and silently back to the bread she had been working on.  Her mind was fuzzy, and she couldn’t seem to put two thoughts together as she coated the French bread in garlicky butter. 

She was able to watch the four men as they moved around the kitchen laughing and joking with each other for several minutes before she had to ask the question plaguing her mind.

“Why me?” she said softly, and when they all grew quiet but didn’t speak, she asked it louder.  “Why me? Every woman in town wants you and with just a crook of your little finger, she would gratefully drop to her knees for the four of you.  So what makes me so special?”

Rogan was the closest to her, so he was the first to reach her
.  Gripping her chin, he tipped her head back so she was forced to meet his eyes.  She was surprised to see the emotion that filled his gaze, but she quickly dismissed it as a trick of the light.  No way they actually felt anything for her, this was just sex.  She had to keep reminding herself this was just a weekend fling to cut loose, and give her her confidence back. 

“
Rachel, you don’t seem to understand that
you
are the one we want.  We don’t want the other women.  I think I speak for all of us, but I will tell you what I personally want.  I want a sexy brunette, with legs up to her ears, and the hottest navel piercing I’ve ever seen.  I want the spicy woman with a sharp tongue, that melts when I kiss her, and isn’t afraid to put me in my place when I’m being an ass.  I want your body, and your heart, and I want to keep them.” With every word his brown eyes darkened, and Rachel knew her own eyes widened.  Her heart was racing in her chest, and her knees were shaking again. 

“
You can’t keep me,” she whispered shakily.

“
Why not?” he asked with a raised eyebrow.

“
Rogan, you don’t have to give me sweet words to get me into your bed.  I’ll go willingly, but I don’t want you guys to play with my emotions.  This is supposed to be fun.  I just wanted to know why you singled me out tonight?” she said, pulling her face away from him so he wouldn’t see the confusion in her eyes.

“
You’re being deliberately obtuse,” Parker said from across the room, and she jerked her head up to glare at him.

“
No, I’m asking a question.  Nevermind.  Forget it,” she said with a huff, as she placed the remaining French bread on the baking pan and went to put it in the oven.

Sawyer stood leaning against the counter next to
the stove with his arms crossed and a frown puckering his brow.  He watched her put the tray in the oven and wipe her hands on a towel before he grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of him.

“
Why is it so hard to believe that we would pick you, baby?” he asked, and she stared at the buttons of his shirt refusing to look at his questioning eyes.

“
Just forget I brought it up, the bread should be done in about ten minutes.  I should probably wash up, if you’ll just direct me to the bathroom?” she said quickly, pulling away from Sawyer, and turning back to the other men who all stood around the room with their arms over their chests and identical frowns on their gorgeous faces.

They exchanged looks amongst them
selves, before Hudson finally broke the silence.  “Come on, honey, I’ll show you where it is.”

He held out his hand to her, and she hesitated
, drawing an exasperated huff from him, which had her quickly placing her hand in his. Drawing her along behind him, he led her out of the kitchen and back down a hallway.  They stopped in front of a door, and he pushed it open.  Instead of a bathroom, it was a bedroom, and she froze in the doorway.

Hudson turned back to her with a small smirk,
“It’s okay, Rachel, it’s just my bedroom.  The bathroom is right here.  Right now the guest bath is torn all to hell while we’re remodeling and adding on a master bedroom suite.  We have four other bathrooms, but they are all connected to a bedroom.  Just come back to the kitchen when you’re done.”

He pressed a light kiss to her forehead
again, and left her standing alone in his bedroom.  For just a moment she let herself breathe in his scent that filled the room.  The furnishings were cherry wood, and the décor was very masculine.  She could see various things that bespoke Hudson’s interests scattered around. 

On top of the dresser was a pile of hunting and fishing magazines while a
n air soft gun rested against the bedside table.  Several CDs sat next to a stereo on the bookshelf, and she couldn’t resist looking through them.  Everything Nickelback to Five Finger Death Punch, it seemed that Hudson had an eclectic taste in his music, and that made her smile.

She remembered what she was supposed to be doing when her full bladder ached, and she hurried into the bathroom
.  After she finished and washed her hands, she took a moment to look over his bathroom too.  It seemed too intimate to be standing amongst his things.  His razor and shaving cream sat on the counter next to a bottle of cologne, a comb, and his toothbrush.  She shivered thinking about how nice it might be to wake up next to him and watch him use all of it to get ready in the morning.

Stop it, Rachel
.  That’s just crazy talk.

Her stomach twisted as she forced her mind away from thoughts of
waking up in Hudson’s arms long term.  Very soon it wouldn’t just be Hudson’s arms holding her, and she wasn’t sure if that scared her or excited her. 

Hudson, Parker, and Rogan all stopped talking to stand from the table as she returned to the kitchen, and she blushed at their manners.

“
No, no, sit down.  You don’t have to stand for me,” she scolded with a laugh.

“
Our mama would have kicked our ass if we didn’t stand for a woman that walked into the room,” Rogan said with a smile.

“
Your mama?” she asked with curiosity, as Parker held her chair for her, and then took the seat next to her.  His arm snaked around the back of her chair, and she felt surrounded by his warmth. 

Rogan sat on her right at the head of the table, and Hudson sat across from her
.  “Yes, our mama.  Did you think we were hatched in the hen house? We had a mother and a father, but they died a few years back.”

“
I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to bring up something so sad.  I remember when your father passed.  The whole town turned out for the funeral service.  It was a beautiful service,” Rachel said, feeling guilty. 

“
It was a beautiful service, our mama would have approved anyway.  Don’t be sorry, I like that you’re curious about us,” Rogan said with a wink, and he reached out to lace his fingers with hers on top of the table.

“
Ask all the questions you want, baby,” Sawyer called from the stove, where he was finishing the sauce.  She returned his easy smile, and then turned back to Rogan.

“
So, can I ask what happened?” The flicker of sadness in Rogan’s eyes made her ache to reach out and hug him tight.

“
About seven years ago, mama got sick, and started having trouble with the muscles in her legs growing weak.  She was tired all of the time, and fighting terrible headaches.  It took the doctors nearly a year to diagnose that she had Multiple Sclerosis, and unfortunately she deteriorated very quickly.  When she passed, daddy just stopped living.  They had been married for twenty-eight years, and he said he couldn’t live without her.  The doctors said it was a heart attack, but I…we believe he just died of a broken heart.  He loved mama too much to keep living.”

Tears filled Rachel
’s eyes, and before she could blink them away, one trickled down her cheek.  Parker was the one to reach out and brush it away gently, and she turned to him with a small smile.  “I’m sorry, I guess I just have a soft heart.  How beautiful that they shared such a deep love.”

Sawyer took that moment to place a large pot of spaghetti in the middle of the table, which was quickly followed by a plate of garlic bread
.  “Enough talk of memories, let’s eat,” he said, with a teasing wink at Rachel that told her he appreciated her soft heart, even if she despised it.

It didn
’t take long before the four Brooks brothers had her laughing so hard the tears were back in her eyes, as they joked and teased each other and her mercilessly.  She could tell they loved each other and had an unbreakable bond between the four of them, and she enjoyed their camaraderie. 

“
How is Zoey, Rach?” She blinked at Hudson’s question as she tried to formulate an answer.  Zoey Carson was her best friend, and although it wasn’t odd that he would ask about her, it did throw Rachel off balance.

“
Uh…fine I guess.  I talked to her the other day and she was busy working on her thesis.”

“
That’s right, she’s still working on her Masters in Sociology, right?”

Rachel shot Hudson a wide smile
.  “Yes, that’s right.  She wants to work in the public school system after she finishes her own education.  She loves kids.  We don’t get to hang out as much lately between my job and her school schedule.”

Parker snorted next to her,
“For a long time you two were attached at the hip.”

“
I guess things change.  I miss our girls’ nights though.” Rachel frowned down at her plate thinking that if Zoey hadn’t been too busy to go out tonight, they probably would have stayed in and shared a bottle of wine, thus keeping her from this opportunity with the Brooks brothers.

Conversation flowed back to other townspeople and their various life circumstances
.  Stone River was small, and everyone seemed to know everyone else’s business.  It was one of the main reasons Rachel’s mom had taken the job in Oklahoma, to escape the gossip. 

Realizing that everyone
had eaten their fill, Rachel started to stand and clear away the dishes.  Parker’s hand on her hip stopped her as she reached for his plate.  “Sit down, sunshine.  We’ll get it.”

“
I can help,” she said with a roll of her eyes.

“
I said sit down,” his voice took on a slightly sharper edge, and his jaw twitched.  His command was so clear her body followed it without letting her brain consider it.  Her butt plopped on the chair, and she grunted with irritation.  His response surprised her, as he brushed a tender kiss over her lips, “Thank you, Rachel.”

She watched them clear the table, and butterflies began to rumble in her stomach
.  Now the safety of the meal was over, the reality of what she had agreed to set in.  She was about to get fucked by four men.  The Brooks brothers no less.  Her heart began a wild thudding in her chest, and her pussy dripped eagerly into her panties. 

“
Would you like another glass of wine, Rach?” Rogan asked as he pulled the bottle from the fridge.  She nodded eagerly, and accepted the glass with a quiet thank you.

Taking a large gulp to steady her nerves, she caught Rogan
’s knowing grin, and smiled shakily back at him. 

“
You can relax.  We aren’t going to tackle you and rip your clothes off,” he said, shaking his head in amusement.

She giggled when Sawyer
piped up, “Unless you ask us to!”

“
Shut up, jackass,” Parker said smacking Sawyer upside the head.

“
Just giving the lady her options.  You never know, she might like it rough,” he said with a shrug, and a wink in her direction.  Her face blossomed into another blush, and she mentally chided herself for her reaction to them.  At this rate, they were going to think she was a virgin!

Parker made his way over to the table and pulled her up into his arms gently
.  “Don’t listen to him, sunshine.  He has spent so much time fantasizing about getting you home and in his bed, that he can’t help himself.”

She rolled her eyes, and turned around to face Sawyer
.  “For the record I’ve never had it rough, so I don’t know if I would like it or not.” She was pleased she was able to pull off the haughty tone, which caused Sawyer’s mouth to drop open, and his eyes to glaze over with lust.

“
Fuck,” Parker groaned against her ear as he wrapped an arm around her middle, and pulled her backwards against his chest.  Goose bumps prickled over her skin at the intimate embrace, and his hot breath against her neck sent tendrils of fire straight to her belly. 

She lifted her eyes
to see that Hudson, Sawyer, and Rogan were staring at her with heated desire on their expressions, and she could feel her panties grow even damper.  Moisture was building between her thighs making her shiver, and her nipples budded up into tight nubs.

Parker ran his hands up to cup her small breasts, and
he gave them a gentle squeeze that drew a gasp from her.  That response seemed to set him on fire, and he spun her back into his arms so quickly she collapsed against his chest with a cry. 

His mouth descended on hers, and she opened for his tongue
.  Lightning shot through her system, igniting her entire body, and she reached up to grip his shoulders tightly, holding him close.  Clutching at him like a lifeline in a hurricane. 

Another body pressed against her back, and she
curved her spine so her ass could grind against the thick cock there, and her breasts could still rub against Parker’s chest.  Soft lips pressed against the side of her neck as she kissed Parker, and she moaned into his mouth, earning herself a quick nip on her bottom lip. 

Hudson
’s hands that came around to the front of her shirt, and untied the knotted tails there.  He tugged it gently from her shoulders leaving her in just her blinding red bra, short skirt, and black boots. 

When
Hudson’s hands cupped her breasts from behind, she gasped again and broke off her kiss with Parker to cry out in ecstasy.  Through the soft satin bra cups, she could feel the heat of his hands like a brand on her aching nipples, and she could feel something strong building deep in her womb.  Stronger than she had every experienced before.  She could sense the loss of control but she deftly ignored it, allowing herself the pleasure of melting into their waiting hands. 

Now Rachel was panting against Parker
’s neck, as he suckled on her collarbone, and Hudson continued to strum her breasts like a harp. Parker bit down on the tender flesh of her shoulder, and she whimpered, her knees buckling.  The two men held her up between them, and before she could react, they were moving her onto the kitchen table that just a moment ago had been set for a meal. 

Lying on her back staring up at the ceiling fan in the Brooks brothers kitchen while all four of them stood over her with lust in
their eyes, was better than any fantasy she had ever had in her life. 

As always Parker made the first move
.  Tugging her skirt down over her hips, and stealing her boots along with it.  Her fire engine red bra seemed to fascinate Hudson, and he gently traced his fingers around its edges, before slipping them inside to pinch her nipple.  Her body jerked upward as if she had been shocked, and a warm hand on her belly pressed her back down onto the table. 

Sawyer was staring down at her belly button ring like it was a lost treasure, and
with an audible groan he bent to flick his tongue into the tiny cavity before teasing the dangling crystal until she whimpered.  He pressed open-mouthed kisses all over her belly from hip to hip.  His hot breath was erotic and soothing all at once.  She tried to relax under their ministrations but found her hips rocking of their own accord, like she had no control over them at all.  She felt her thong being tugged down her legs, and then she heard the sweetest words ever spoken to her. 

“
Fuck that is sexy,” Rogan said sharply as he stood next to Parker and admired her shaved pussy.  Sawyer was still focused on her belly and abdomen, and Hudson had managed to divest her of her bra.  He now cupped one breast, and sucked hard on the other.

She could feel her own insecurities well up for a moment, and before she knew it
, she was drawing her knees closed and moving her hands to cover her nudity.

“
Hey,” Hudson yelped as her nipple popped out of his mouth, “What do you think you’re doing, honey?” His hands came up to the sides of her head, and he sunk his fingers into her hair to hold her still.

“
I-I…” her voice cracked, and she clenched her eyes shut so he wouldn’t see the tears that welled up in them. 

What was she doing here?
How did this all spin out of control so fast? She had four men making love to her naked body, and she was desperate for it.  Like an addiction to a toxic drug, she was afraid she would never get enough of their touches.

“
Rachel, tell us what’s wrong? You were so hot a second ago, what happened?” Rogan’s voice cut through her internal monologue, and she felt a rush of heat creep up over her cheeks and chest.

“
I’m embarrassed,” she whispered.  When there was no response she cracked her eyes open.  All four men stood gaping at her as if she had lost her mind.  She closed her eyes again, praying she would wake up from this dream.

“
Rachel, open your eyes,” Parker demanded.  He looked pleased when she complied and stared into his dark chocolate glare.  “Tell us why you’re feeling embarrassed.”

“
I’ve never been with more than one man, and…and…” she hesitated, but their matching looks of confusion and concern caused the words to tumble out.  “I’ve never even had sex with the lights on.  I don’t like the way I look naked, and Mitch always told me that my boobs were too small.  And I know my hips are a little too big—”

Sawyer
’s mouth cut off her rambling as he bent and kissed her long and deep.  By the time he let her come up for air she was nearly panting, and she had moved her hands away from her breasts to grip his shoulders.  He smiled down at her, and she smiled back.

“
You have
nothing
to be ashamed of, baby.  You are the sexiest woman I have ever seen in my life, and if the erections my brothers are sporting are any indication, they think so too.” Sawyer’s tone was serious, but his smile was playful, and his eyes were tender.  She darted a glance at the others, and they each nodded their agreement. 

“
Rachel, let me make one thing clear,” Parker said in the deep growly voice that made her pussy clench.  “There isn’t a damn thing about you or your body that I want to change, and I don’t ever want to hear you say his name in our house again.  Any man who would make his woman feel like less than a goddess when she is gifting him with her body, is an ass.”
