Josh barely managed to hold on. He pulled Chloe off him and swallowed hard.
“Hold on, honey. Just a minute.”
Xavier shifted behind her, and then he pushed forward.
“Damn.” Chloe shuddered and bent her head, her hair falling like a silken waterfall that tickled Josh’s thighs. The feel of those strands sliding over his cock and balls was a torture all its own.
She moaned. “Xavier, you feel huge.”
“Chloe, I am huge,” he said with a laugh that quickly turned into a groan. “I want to fuck you so hard. Jesus. You’re tight.” Josh couldn’t wait, not when he felt Xavier pulling out and pushing in. His brother rocked in and out of her, slower thrusts that grew faster and harder as their arousal climbed.
“I need you, Chloe. Take me.” Josh moved to his knees and drew Chloe upward, her ass no longer up in the air while his brother fucked it.
“Yes,” she hissed and took him in her mouth again.
He tilted his head back and gave himself up to her touch. Just as Xavier came hard, he reached between her legs and pushed on her clit. She groaned and shook, her orgasm sucking Josh’s seed when she tightened her lips over him and blew his mind.
“Fuck. Chloe,” Josh shouted as he emptied inside her, loving the feel of her lips and tongue over him.
The sight of them joined once more stole his breath, and he slowly withdrew and lay down, his heart racing, his breath coming fast. Perfection, no doubt about it.
He’d do whatever it took to keep this woman and keep her safe. And if she didn’t like it, too damn bad.
Chloe couldn’t catch her breath. Once more, the Cannon brothers had made her lose her mind. Could a woman really have an orgasm every time? In her experience, no. Then again, this was new. Newness would eventually wear off. Yet she’d never felt this intensity of attraction before. She looked at them. Twins. Both of them appealed to her on every level. Their looks, their size, their strength. She couldn’t deny their intelligence and their psychic ability tied into hers.
She’d made the decision to keep them when she’d seen them both being tended to by their mother. They clearly loved their family, and the warm affection flowing among the Cannons cinched her desire to be a part of that.
Hell, their parents could be world-class assholes and I’d still want them. But it made her wonder, how did their parents feel about her? Racially diverse, short, and not good enough for their sons, probably. Hell, they even knew she worked for the PWP. Sure, their dad had seemed to like her well enough. His type respected strength. And though Chloe had odd looks, she considered herself fairly attractive, if not the Susie-homemaker type. But their mom couldn’t possibly approve of her, not really.
Xavier withdrew, and she sighed.
“Such deep thoughts. Aren’t pretty girls supposed to be empty-headed?”
“Ass.”
“Oh yeah.” He palmed her cheeks, and she flushed. “Only thing better than fucking you is fucking you bare. That way I feel every little squeeze of that ass before I come inside it. But the condom’s cleaner.” He left the bed, and Josh pulled her close.
“Stop worrying, honey. Let’s face a few facts. We love you. You love us. And we’re going to live happily ever after.”
She blinked down at him, trying not to let his deep, dark eyes mesmerize her.
“Pretty simple.”
He shrugged but didn’t look away from her. “I’m a simple guy. I have few needs. A hot woman to take care of, a brother to do my laundry, and cable so I can watch the games.”
“Take care of?” She raised a brow, not pleased with the way he’d worded that.
But by the smirk on his face, he knew it.
“If I’d said, ‘woman to take care of me,’ you’d have been all over my ass.”
“True.”
“And I need a break before I can get hard again. But then I’m coming inside you. Unless you wanted to swallow me some more, ’cause baby, I’ll do anything to make you happy.”
She bit his lower lip and laughed when he flinched. “You’re a tease, you know that?”
“I try.”
Xavier rejoined them. “If he’s bothering you, we can tie him up and take turns shooting him.” At her questioning look, he explained, “Paintball in the backyard.
Makes for good target practice, and it’s fun.”
“And colorful,” Josh added with a grin. “Or we can use live rounds when Xavier annoys you. Because he will, no doubt.”
Chloe lost her smile as she stared at these two men who’d come to mean the world to her. In just a few short days, her entire life felt like it had changed.
“Chloe?” Xavier lay down next to them and stroked her back.
Josh shifted her so that she lay half on him and half on Xavier.
“My half of the blanket,” Xavier said with a smile. “Now tell us what’s wrong.”
“This is too soon,” she blurted, aware of all the things that could happen to take this new happiness away. She’d be better off not to get so invested. Advice that came too little, too late.
“It’s not, though, is it?” Josh asked softly. “It’s been building for—”
“—sixteen years,” Xavier finished, his eyes smiling.
“But I didn’t know you guys then. This is new,” she ended, her excuse more than lame. Hell, she felt the same way they did, and the smiling bastards knew it.
“Yes, I love you both. And I don’t know why. And if your smiles grow any larger, they’ll split your faces wide open,” she grumbled.
Josh laughed. Xavier didn’t, but she could tell he wanted to. God, she loved them both so much.
“But what does this mean, really? Yeah, I feel it, tied to you, in love with you.
But day-to-day? Where do we go from here?”
Their hands moved in tandem over her back, and she wondered if they were aware of it. Probably not. Both of them seemed so in tune with each other—and her—right now. One person, yet not. And she knew that no matter how much alike they were, they would always be two sides of the same coin. Not the same side of the coin but different sides.
“We go wherever you want to go,” they said at the same time and laughed at each other.
Josh continued. “Chloe, we want a life with you. Marriage, kids, everything.”
“But my work is dangerous.”
Xavier snorted. “Yeah, all that personal training at the gym is scary.” She frowned, and he laughed.
“I’m teasing. Look, what we do is dangerous too. Are you asking us to quit our job?”
“No, why would I?” The thought hadn’t occurred to her.
“Then why should we ask you to quit yours?” Xavier shrugged. “If you like what you do, we’re fine with it.”
She swallowed hard. This couldn’t be that easy, could it? “You mean that?
You’re not just saying that to sucker me in?”
“In to what? Our devious death trap?” Josh asked. “Honey, you forget.
Anything that’s out to harm you comes to me first. And then Xavier will warn you.
We’re a unit. Sometimes we’ll be apart, because grown people do that.” The patronizing tone of his voice set her on edge, no doubt as he’d intended. It should have been strange that he knew her so well, yet it wasn’t.
“I can’t believe I didn’t know you two for so long, but now it’s like we’ve always been together.”
“Welcome to my world,” Xavier said and crossed his eyes at his brother.
She sighed, so happy yet afraid to reach out and grab it. “Marriage? Kids? I don’t know if I’m ready for all that.”
“You will be.” Josh’s eyes twinkled. He looked smug, and she knew he’d had glimpses of their future.
