“Oh God,” she moaned on a scream just as Nick felt liquid heat pool between them.

“Oh fuck,” he countered her moan.

He couldn’t hold back anymore as a ball of passion combusted from his body. Planting himself as deeply inside of her as he could, he went off like a rocket, blowing stream after stream of his seed into the condom. His eyes crossed as his orgasm rolled through his body. His limbs shook as she called his name in her own mindless serenity.

“Motherfucking Christ.” His voice was harsh, the high intense. He’d never felt anything like it. His entire body collapsed to the side as she pulled Ace to her, not wanting to leave the other man out.

“It hurts, Ace,” she murmured, drunk on her own desires.

“What does, baby?” He had no fucking clue.

Rolling to his side, Nick decided to enlighten his cousin into what their woman needed, knowing full-well he wouldn’t do anything if he thought she was in pain. “She wants you to stick your monster cock inside of that perfect fucking pussy and take her, Ace. She hurts because she needs to come again.”

Amazement lit Ace’s eyes as he said to Nick, “What happened to your language, dude?” His laughter turned into a deep moan of delight as he pushed his condom-covered cock into her haven.

It wasn’t supposed to feel so good, was it? Ace couldn’t remember the last time a woman took him with such ease, fit his cock like a glove. Pepper did. She took all of him and demanded twice as much. She was it, he knew it then. He also knew he would fight tooth and fucking nail to have her stay with them, to complete their family. Nothing would stop him from keeping her, aside from death.

As her back arched from pleasure, his dick rooted a fraction further inside of her fevered core. The sheer volume of heat emanating from her rendered him stupid. Just being inside her body was the greatest gift he’d ever received, and all he wanted to do was savor it.

“Ace,” she moaned, pleasure and pain coating his name.

Dropping his body on top of hers, he covered her from head to pelvis. One hand slipped underneath her back to press her hips up, and the other was embedded in her hair with a fierce grip. When her legs wrapped tightly around his hips, he began to move. Slowly, sensually, at first. Languorous strokes to stoke the fire in them both. As her nails scratched down his back, he picked up speed, pumping deeply into her pussy—harder—making sure to take a second to savor, then plunging back inside her and holding still. On one down stroke, she swivelled her hips, tightening on his cock, and he was done. Like someone had jabbed him with a cattle prod, he shot off. Stars danced behind his eyes as she screamed his name, their groans of pleasure in sync.

Completely spent, Ace couldn’t move. Laying on Pepper was as close to heaven as he’d ever been, so he wanted to relish the moment for as long as possible. Her rubbing against him wasn’t any incentive to get up anytime soon, either.

“That was so damn perfect,” he whispered in her ear before trailing his mouth to hers and consuming her with a kiss filled with passion, promise, and hope.

The clap of a hand on his back jolted him back as Nick said to them, “It’s getting cold in here, guys.” He watched Pepper as she watched Nick stand stark naked and put more wood in the fire.

Fascinated when her eyes glazed over, Ace asked her, “Like what you see?” She averted her eyes just as the ever-present blush worked its way up her body.

Ducking her head when Nick turned back around, she hid in his chest. He loved seeing this shy side to her. A smile tugging at the corner of her lips, her eyes light and happy, and no sadness anywhere in sight. It suited her so much better. When she shivered, he finally got a clue. Standing, he walked to the kitchen to dispose of the condom. Darting back to their makeshift bed, he was pleased to see Nick curled up beside her, her head resting on his chest as he slipped in behind her.

“How you feeling?” Ace asked her, hoping she didn’t regret what they’d done.

“Wonderful,” she sighed happily, not bothering to open her eyes.

Kissing her shoulder, he told her, “Rest, we’ll keep you warm.”

Her light snoring indicated she might have fallen asleep before he’d even said a word. He watched as she slept, knowing she needed it. They hadn’t spoken about what it all meant yet. He hadn’t apologized for his careless words the night before, but for some reason, everything felt like it was finally falling into place. As if their stars were aligning in perfect harmony.

“We didn’t tell her,” Nick said, confusing him.

“Tell her what?”

“About last night. The phone call. Finding out who she is.” Guilt and pain were written in every word.

“Things have been kind of hectic this morning,” he explained.

“It’s all I could think about while Roxie and I were out there. That once she knew, she’d want to leave.” Nick wouldn’t meet Ace’s eyes as he spoke. “I had to have her at least once before she left.” They both looked down at her sleeping form, and for once, she appeared peaceful. “She’s gonna hate me.”

Ace had no idea how to comfort his cousin when it was now all he would worry about as well. What if she did hate them for knowing and not letting her know before they were intimate?

“We’ll just have to tell her when she wakes up,” he suggested lamely.

“Whore!” Alex screamed into the mountains. He couldn’t believe she’d fucked them! They were nothing. He was everything!

She was supposed to be his!
