Apache Crossing 1
Sidney
Rowe has been abused in ways that most people can’t even imagine. After a horrific miscarriage, she left behind
everything she had, to escape her ex-boyfriend.
She finds refuge in the kindness of the three Dawson brothers. They give
her a job and a sense of security in the small town of Apache Crossing.
Xavier,
Tyce, and Noah Dawson, have built their bar, Triple Shot, into a profitable
enterprise. The three former Marines,
have also built a reputation for integrity in the community, but their sex
appeal and charm are legendary. They enjoy their playboy status…that is until a
jumpy, skittish Sidney stumbles into their lives needing their help.
Sexual
tension explodes when the brothers decide they want to protect and share
Sidney, but to have her they have to stop her ex from haunting her. Can they
keep her safe, and win her damaged heart?
Excerpt
“I’m
fine. I’m sorry I panicked,” she said, but her voice came out as a squeak.
Reality came crashing into her like a tidal wave. She was sitting in Tyce’s
lap, surrounded by the only other two men that had ever made her throb with
desire, and she had their full attention. Xavier’s hands had just been running
all over her body, making her skin tingle. Her anxiety ratcheted up as she
tried to come up with a believable explanation for her panic attack. She looked
up, and when Xavier’s eyes met hers, she instinctively dropped her gaze away
from the intensity in those blue orbs.
“Don’t
be scared. It was a pallet of supplies that got dropped when the loader’s
hydraulics broke. No one got hurt, thankfully. We just have a bit of a mess in
the back room to clean up.” Noah crouched down next to Xavier, taking her hands
into his and drawing her attention. “Honey, why did it scare you so much?”
“Umm…I
don’t know…I mean, I heard it, and I thought it was a gunshot…” She fidgeted
for a moment, but froze when she remembered that she was still in Tyce’s lap.
The thickness underneath her told her that he was very physically aware of her
wiggling.
“A
gunshot? Why would someone be shooting around here, Sidney?” Xavier’s question
set panic building in her chest again, and she started to pull away from Tyce’s
embrace without answering.
“No,
Sidney, you can’t run away from us this time. What is going on? Are you in
trouble?” Tyce pulled her back against his chest and pressed her head back down
to his shoulder. Her whole body was trembling, and he kissed the top of her
head, running his hand up and down her back. For an instant she wondered how it
would feel to be held like this through the night. Comforted and cherished like
something precious. She quickly discarded the fantasy and tried to refocus on
the situation.
“Tyce,
please let me go,” she said with a strength that belied the fragile state her
emotions were in. When she turned away from him, she found Xavier still
kneeling in front of her . He reached out and gently but firmly gripped her
chin, forcing her to look him in the eyes.
“Want to
tell us about Robert Wicks?” Xavier said quietly. Sidney felt like her lungs
would never expand again. Terror trickled down her spine, followed by sadness
that was so overpowering she had to close her eyes against their questioning
looks. Like waves each emotion swept over her, leaving her breathless and
closer to the edge of an irrationally emotional breakdown. She twisted away
from Xavier’s grip on her jaw and jumped up from Tyce’s lap.
“No,
actually I don’t. That’s my business, and I don’t need to share it with anyone.
I’m going back out to the front to help Kara.” She reached the door before she
felt hands on her. Noah’s firm body pressed against her back, and he wrapped
his arms tightly around her. One arm was across her chest and the other across
her hips, holding her immobile while he pressed a kiss to her ear. It was a
beautifully sweet touch that made her ache to share her burdens with him.
“Stop, honey. Whatever it is, you can talk to us,” he murmured against her ear,
and goose bumps prickled across her arms. She couldn’t tell them about Robert,
and she couldn’t let them get any closer to her. It was time to leave.
“Look,
I’m sorry if I gave you all the wrong impression, but I don’t want or need your
help. What I need is my privacy, and my paycheck. I will finish my shift and
leave my uniform in the locker tonight. Clearly I can’t continue working here.”
She held herself stiff until she felt Noah reluctantly release her, and then
she threw the door open and walked down the hallway. She could feel the tingle
of all three men’s eyes on her again until the door shut behind her.
Straightening her spine, she fought off tears as she reentered the bar dining
room. She wouldn’t cry for a man again. No matter how much she wanted to.
ADULT EXCERPT
“Don’t
tease me, Sidney,” Xavier grumbled, and she opened her lips and sucked his
length down until it was teasing her tonsils. “Oh fuck, yes, that’s good,
baby.”
Waves of
satisfaction rolled over her at every grunt and moan of pleasure that escaped
his voice box, and she doubled her efforts. Reaching her hand underneath him to
cup his heavy balls, she began a sensual, circular motion with her fingers.
While
she was alternately tugging and massaging at his balls, he roughly gripped her
hair and began thrusting into her mouth at his own pace. She moaned around her
mouthful of cock and felt his balls tighten in her hand.
“Swallow
it, baby,” he directed, just before his whole body shuddered as cum shot into
her mouth. She swallowed quickly, trying not to lose a drop, and after a few
moments his hand gripped her chin to pull her away from him oversensitive cock.
He tipped her head back to look down at her, and she smiled at the heavy-lidded
look of a sated man.
“Your
mouth is incredible,” he murmured as he bent to kiss her tingling lips. She was
surprised by the kiss, knowing he must taste himself on her tongue, but she
realized that even that was a turn on. When he finally broke their lip-lock and
stepped away from her, she was breathing hard again, and she could feel the
flush of lust on her face and throat.
“Strip
now,” Xavier said in a low voice that stroked her desire even higher. She
dropped her eyes from his as she tugged the beautiful navy-blue dress over her
head. Noah snatched it from her hands before tossing it in the general
direction of the kitchen and dropping to his knees where Xavier had been
standing.
A blink
later she was completely nude except for her strappy high-heeled sandals. She
felt decadent and utterly sexual in the presence of three large, nude men, and
she pushed away all of her normally self-conscious thoughts.
Tyce
moved closer to her side and reached out with one hand to tweak her nipple. She
reacted by moaning and arching into his hand, so he did it again, only harder.
“Do you like that, love?” he whispered to her, but her panting gave the answer
away for her.
Noah’s
hands were forcing her knees apart, and his long, masculine fingers were gently
stroking their way closer and closer to her cleft as Tyce dropped his head to
suck her nipple into his mouth. She cried out at the ripples of ecstasy that
rolled over her as Noah nipped at the soft skin of her inner thigh and danced
his fingers over her dripping slit. Tyce’s teeth and tongue worked magic on her
sensitive nipples, and before she could register what was happening, Sidney
climaxed spectacularly.
* * * *
Noah
knelt between Sidney’s legs with his eyes fastened on the soft, pink folds of
her femininity. He watched the muscles clench as her orgasm rocked through her
and saw the gush of cream that came with it. Thinking to himself that it would
be a crime to waste that sweet-tasting juice, he ran the tip of his tongue over
her, causing her to scream out as another smaller orgasm exploded over her.
He
glanced over at Xavier, who sat in a chair, completely nude and entirely
focused on the beautiful Sidney. By the rapturous look on his brother’s face,
Noah could only hazard a guess that Xavier was as smitten by Sidney as he was.
Whether
she knew it or not yet, she trusted them with her body and soul. There was no
reason for it, other than fate, because they hadn’t known each other long
enough for them to have truly earned her trust. His heart was swollen with
pride and love for the beautiful woman, and all he could think about was
claiming her for his own permanently.
He
watched as Tyce tugged at her body until she moved where he wanted her. Now she
rested on her knees with her chest on the seat of the couch, and her beautiful,
curvy ass high in the air. Reaching one hand across her back to stroke over the
soft white skin of her rear, he couldn’t resist giving her a little tap. She
squealed, and Noah could feel his face break out in a grin to match Tyce’s.
“Again,”
Xavier commanded from behind them, and this time Noah smacked the other ass
cheek.
“Yes!”
Sidney moaned into the couch cushion and wiggled her butt back and forth.
“Hold
still, love, or you won’t get what you want,” Tyce said, and then he bent over
her back to kiss her spine, soothing away the roughness of his words.
Noah
continued to let his hands drift over Sidney’s body as Tyce gently began
stroking her asshole with the tip of his finger. The whole time Sidney’s body
trembled under their touch, but she managed to hold fairly still. With a wink
at Noah, Tyce dropped behind her, and from the angle of his head, Noah knew he
was licking her from front to back. She gasped, and her breath came out in a
choking sound when Tyce’s licks centered on her ass, and when he finally raised
his head, Noah could see he had penetrated her ass with two fingers.
