Adrianna's Storm Read online

  Lachlan began to play with her breasts. He tweaked and pinched at one side while he suckled and licked the other. Switching back and forth, slowly driving her crazy.

  Reilly continued to kiss up her legs, first her calves, and then the inner side of her knee, her thighs, her inner thighs, until she wanted to scream. Finally losing her patience, she said, “Fuck me, dammit.”

  Reilly laughed against her mound and Lachlan looked at her with his eyebrows raised. “Hey, you will take what we give you and like it, get it,” Lachlan growled and then lightly nipped the side of her neck.

  Reilly nuzzled between her pussy lips and slowly used his tongue to taste her growing juices. “Nice and sweet,” said Reilly, and Lachlan chuckled against her breast when Ari moaned.

  Reilly found her little clit with his tongue and began to tease her, circling it but not quite touching it. She squirmed a little and raised her hips, hoping to get the slightest touch. She would go off like a rocket she was so close. But they would not let her.

  Reilly sat back and said to Lachlan, “Pussy or ass?”

  Lachlan looked down at Ari whose eyes were swirling with desire. “Pussy,” he said and kissed Ari.

  “Yeah.” Ari laughed.

  Lachlan laughed and lay back in the middle of the bed. She looked at their cocks and her mouth watered. They were huge—and all hers. She stopped for a moment looking at them.

  Theirs had been a fast courtship and a dangerous one. But Ari would not trade it for the world. Looking at her men and knowing all they had been through, she wondered if given the choice would she take it all back? She got her answer when she looked into her men’s eyes. They loved her completely and without hesitation. What could compete with that?

  Ari straddled Lachlan and smiled. Reilly crawled behind her, cupped her breasts for behind, and whispered in her ear, “Ride him, luv.”

  Ari smiled and then situated herself over Lachlan’s straining cock. She lowered herself bit by bit on to his shaft. When she was done, she leaned over and kissed Lachlan. They did not move, waiting for Reilly to enter her from behind and join them all together.

  She heard the click of the lube bottle and then shivered when she felt it dribbled down her crack. Reilly used his fingers to make sure she was ready and slick before grabbing her hips and holding her still. She felt his large cock on the outer rim of her back hole and she tensed a little. No matter how many times they took her this way, the feeling of being stuffed with their huge cocks always drove her nuts.

  She felt him push through the outer rim and relaxed. Soon he was fully seated and he tightened the grip on her hips. “Fuck us, baby,” he whispered into her ear and she began to move. They set up their rhythm, with one sliding in while the other slid out. Soon the friction against the membrane that separated them had her heating up. She moved faster and faster, trying to get the first tingle of an orgasm, but it was just out of her reach. She growled and Lachlan laughed, raised his hand, and separated her pussy lips a little until he found her clit.

  He did not touch it; instead, he teased her, circling it, driving her passion higher and higher.

  “Lachlan!” she cried.

  Lachlan pressed his finger right on her clit and she exploded along with her men.

  They fell into a heap piled on one another, whispering their love to each other in between breaths.

  Finally, their hearts returned to a normal beat and Ari smiled in satisfaction. She had gotten what she wanted times two. She had the love of both of her men and she loved them in return.

  "I love you both so very much," she said to them as they held her.

  They both raised up and looked at her with happiness all over their faces. "We love you too, luv," Reilly said.

  "Now will you consider Handfasting?" Lachlan said.

  "No," Ari told them and watched their faces fall. "I think we should just skip that and go straight to the happy ever after."

  Both men looked shocked and then huge grins broke out on their faces. "Sweet, that is music to my ears," Lachlan said as he kissed her.

  "Mine, too," Reilly said and leaned in to kiss her as well. "When?"

  Ari laughed. "Well, we have a few things to work out. I have to pack up in New York and talk to Julie. Let's not forget this evil hanging over us."

  Lachlan touched her cheek. "Packing up is easy, we will help."

  "There will always be something over the horizon, luv, we still need to move on with our lives," Reilly said matter-of-factly.

  Ari smiled at them. "You're right. Okay. We can look and see what date looks good."

  "The sooner the better or someone else might beat us to it," Lachlan muttered.

  "What are you talking about?" Ari asked him.

  The two men exchanged looks and then smiled at her. "Nothing, luv, we just want it done so we can love you anytime, anywhere we want," Reilly said.

  Ari knew they were hiding something, but Lachlan's hand was sliding up her thigh and she was losing the point of the conversation. "Uh huh, okay. Mmmm...that feels good," she said as Reilly latched on to her breast.

  Within seconds, she was in the throes of ecstasy once again, forgetting the comment Lachlan had made. She only cared about her men and what they were currently doing to her. Her life had changed dramatically since leaving New York. Where she had no men in her life or on the horizon, she now had two who loved her.

  She and her sisters would defeat the evil that was trying to end them. Ari had no doubt of that, as they were a formidable group of women who would do anything to protect their family. They were powerful in love, that was for sure and now in powers given to them by their ancestors. Maybe it wasn't so ironic to think of them all as Blessed, after all, they were the Blessed Five.

  Epilogue

  He threw his glass against the wall. He was enraged beyond anything he had ever felt. His plans were not going the way he wanted them to. His cousin was dead and the woman still eluded him. He had to have her and soon.

  He looked at his men who had brought the news. "What else?"

  One of his men stepped forward and bowed. "Sir, we did receive word from our spy that she is staying at the castle. She will not be going back to New York."

  "Not going back? Why?" he asked.

  "It is said she matched with the Guardians, Reilly and Lachlan Parsons," came the answer.

  "The Parsons brothers?" he said. "They are a thorn in my side. Their cousins are the ones that are keeping the athame from me."

  The other man stepped up and said, "There are two more Guardians that have arrived. It is said the Council will send others as they now are aware."

  The man nodded as he thought about this new information. Yes, the cat was out of the bag, the Council knew the Blessed Five would be targets. He had to get to them fast and he knew just how to do it.

  He went to the phone and dialed. When the young woman on the other side of the phone picked up he said, "Darling, it's been a while. I have missed you."

  Whatever she said didn't make him happy if the look on his face was anything to go by. "Now, I know, but I want to see you. Please give me a chance to talk to you."

  He waited as she thought it over and when she answered, he smiled. "Wonderful. I can come this weekend. I will make the arrangements. I can't wait to see you," he said, trying to sound sincere.

  He hung up and smiled evilly. He looked to his men. "Go, get the others. We are taking a small trip."

  When they left, he began to plan. He would have this one chance to get her and would not have it screwed up by sending others. He had learned his lesson with his cousin. No, he would have to go himself to get her. Once he had her and killed her, it would all be his, the power, the control, and the woman he wanted.

  He rubbed his hands together, feeling it all come together. Soon, he thought, soon it will all be mine.

  Excerpt from Boots, Chaps, and Cowboy Hats

  Taming Team Ten Book One

  By Jana Leigh

  “Hey,” the large man w
ho was driving said. “We are supposed to meet the foreman of the ranch.”

  Slone grinned and looked at the men who were slowly lining up. Alex was slow to get there but ended up at the end of the line. Slone walked to him with a grin and held out his hand. “Alex, welcome home.”

  Alex looked up stunned, and then he recognized his childhood friend and grinned. “Slone?”

  “Yeah, I am your knew foreman, in charge of teaching you SEALs how to be cowboys,” Slone said with a chuckle and Alex grabbed his hand and did the one arm hug.

  “Shit, man, I was gonna call you when I settled in. The dads said you were somewhere in Wyoming, I figured we could meet up. This is awesome, they didn’t tell me,” Alex said with a laugh.

  “When they called me, I said I would be honored to help out, quit my job and hightailed it here. I beat you by a week,” Slone said and looked down the line at the rest of the men. “Hey, I am Slone Brate, the new foreman of the Second Chance Ranch, and you are Thane, Gage, Mason, Drake, Jessie and of course, Alex,” he said, naming each of the men correctly.

  “Stalker?” Jessie asked and looked at him suspiciously.

  “No,” Slone laughed. “Just making sure I know who I am supposed to be teaching. Dallas and Noah filled me in.”

  LC stepped forward and held out his hand. “Yep, you can call me Thane.”

  The others did the same and Alex felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. His friend would help teach them ranching, and the men could decide if this was what they wanted to do for the rest of their lives, or if they just wanted a piece of land to retire on. With their VA retirement for medical reasons, they were able to at least have some money coming in to help pay for things, and since none of them had lived in the country in the last few years so their pay had stacked up to a nice tidy sum.

  “The big house has enough bedrooms for all of you,” Slone pointed. “Let’s get you settled and then we can talk, then I can give you a tour of the ranch and we can start first thing in the morning.

  All of them nodded and looked around curiously but followed Slone into the large house. There was an older woman and man in the foyer waiting for them. They all looked at Alex who shrugged.

  The woman smiled and with tears in her eyes, she walked to each of them and hugged them saying as she did, “I am Louise, the cook and housekeeper, and this is my husband, Timothy, who is a handyman and wrangler that is going to help you out. Welcome home, and I am so happy you are all here, if you need anything you tell me. Now, I have a nice pot roast and potatoes, green beans and a nice chocolate cake for you. When you are ready, come down, and I will get your favorites written down.”

  The men looked stunned and accepted the woman’s hug, and then mumbled in return. They weren’t quite sure what to do about this show of emotion. It just wasn’t what they were used to.

  “Thanks,” Alex said and looked down to the floor.

  Her husband walked up, stuck out his hand, and said gruffly, “Welcome.”

  Alex looked at the older man warily and shook his hand. It was firm, and the look of understanding crossed the older man's face and Alex looked at the others as they followed, and he saw the kindred spirits all relax with the man's handshake. This was the right move, Alex knew it.

  Excerpt from Tyrant's Keep

  By Nancy Lommel

  “Princess Ariyona,” he began by letting her know he was all too aware of her identity. “My name is Captain Merrick. You are now the prisoner of My Liege Lord, His Royal Majesty, King Jareth of Ravenwood.”

  Ariyona felt her stomach sink to her toes upon hearing that name and she paled visibly.

  “My Lord has ordered my men and me to bring you whole and unharmed before him. My Lord is very unforgiving of failure, so it is my wish that you cooperate with us so that we may fulfill his bidding. We wish you no harm, but know that we will deliver you. It is in your best interest at this point to cause no trouble. As long as you cooperate, we will do everything possible to assure your safety and comfort on the journey to Ravenwood. Do you agree or would you like to take on the four of us?” Merrick smiled as he spoke the last.

  For a moment, Ariyona did not reply. Jareth of Ravenwood! He was a tyrant king who ruled by fear and force. Many were the tales that had reached King Oberon’s court of the atrocities committed by Jareth upon his people. They had many refugees from his lands. He was a harsh, cruel monarch and the opposite of everything Ariyona believed in. But why was he kidnapping her? Ariyona could not fathom a reason. She looked at Merrick who was still awaiting her answer. She was royalty and they knew it. She knew from his words they would respect and treat her well. Jareth wanted her delivered whole and unharmed. Ariyona preferred it that way as well. She thought of her father’s four rules of being captured. The first was to do whatever was necessary to protect herself. The second was to obey her captors as long as it did not compromise the first rule. Thirdly, she was not to do anything that would bring dishonor to her father or her kingdom. Finally, the fourth rule was to try to escape as long as it did not compromise the first or third rule. As resistance would gain her nothing and escape was not an option at this point, Ariyona forced herself to speak to her captors.

  “I agree,” she said through clenched teeth.

  Merrick smiled. “Very well.” He produced a length of rope that had been secured to his belt. “Please hold out your wrists. I have to bind them, but let me know if it is too tight. As I said, I have no wish to harm you.” Yet from looking into Merrick’s eyes, Ariyona knew he was not a man to trifle with.

  Ariyona held out her wrists and Merrick quickly wound the rope around them. As he did the other three men sheathed their swords, but Ariyona did not doubt that any transgression on her part would have them out in an instant. The rope was very tight around her wrists, but Ariyona’s pride would not allow her to speak again to Merrick to ask him to loosen her binding. Merrick tied the other end of the rope to his belt and they set off deeper into the woods, away from the castle. One of Merrick’s men led the way with Merrick second. Naturally, Ariyona was next in line, as she was tied to Merrick, and the other two soldiers took up the rear.

  As they walked, Merrick explained to Ariyona how she had made their task easier. They had been watching the castle from the woods for several days and had noticed that she fled the castle alone at least once a day. As soon as they were assured that she remained alone, and sometimes stayed in the woods for hours, all they had to do was pick a day and wait. Ariyona walked right into their hands. Merrick and his men laughed at this while Ariyona silently cursed herself for her foolishness. Her father had been right all along and she did have need of a guard. Now she knew for a fact she was wrong to disobey her father on this matter. Why did she not listen?

  Excerpt from Meridian Warriors: Xander and Des

  Meridian Warriors Book One

  By Jana Leigh and Zach Collins

  The expansion of their underwater world had been slow, but once their techs figured it out, they moved quickly. The bottom of the ocean was not smooth, and they had to clear little by little so the bubble would be sealed. They used the ship as a place to live until they were able to get materials to build their own homes. It had taken a long time.

  “So what do we have to talk about?” Xander asked when Des sat down across from him and sprawled in a similar manner.

  “Rosul developed a better security monitoring. There is a storm coming in, it looks like it will be strong. We have several men above water, and we are calling them back, but we are not sure if they will be able to make it back in time. In addition, a ship was using their radar, scanning the bottom of the ocean floor. The technology too advanced for humans,” Des said somberly and watched as Xander’s face hardened and his lips thinned.

  “Have they found us?” Xander asked briskly.

  “No, we have our own cloaking. We still have to be careful though,” Des said.

  “For now, when everyone gets back, we stay inside the city until we can figure ou
t what is going on. We will come up with a plan,” Xander said and smiled at his mate closely.

  “I will call the command center; we will have to lock the doorway after the last Warrior returns.” Des picked up the small communication device they used. It worked in their underwater city. When they left the safety of their city, it was equipped with a locator, and the ability to communicate with whomever was on the surface. The device resembled the human’s cell phones, but more advanced.

  “I am pretty sure that can wait,” Xander said, standing and taking the communication device from his mate and grinned, “I think we should get cleaned first and then we can see about work.”

  Des laughed and pulled the man in for a kiss, “I agree.”

  When they reached the shower, both were naked and hard, Xander felt his erection practically pulsing. He had been in this state since he saw the man who was his mate walk through the doors; it was like this all the time. Gorgeous, sexy, smart, Des was everything he wanted in a mate. If only they had found their third, she would have been on the ship with them. Most the men who survived the last attack were mated but none had met their third yet. Warriors had a hard time finding their mates.

  It was because of their makeup. They were hard, and rough, and their women needed to be strong with potential as a leader. That was the way of their people. The King was once the most powerful Warrior, Xander was next in line for the throne. His mates would be the King’s Consorts and considered leaders, too.

  Standing under the needles of hot spray, he reached down and grasped his mate’s cock. Shit, his lips were thick and sexy, and Xander could only imagine them being wrapped around his cock. Xander drew his hand over his cock, closing his eyes and dreaming it was his mate’s mouth.

  Des wrapped his hand in his mate’s long hair and brought him in for a passionate kiss. He was demanding and knew it. After training all day, his aggression was peaking. Xander knew that, and although he was also dominant and took control of their sex life, many years ago they came to terms with each other’s differences. Des explored his mate’s mouth with his tongue, making sure he tasted his mate’s flavor. He loved when they were close like this, it was intimate, and made their bond strengthen. Slowly Des pulled his mouth from his mate’s mouth and then kissed down Xander’s chest slowly.
