Stacy's Destiny (The Town of Pearl 2)

“Goddamn it, Stacy, if you don’t let go of that gutter, I’m going to tan your hide, woman!” Max yelled.

Max watched as she lowered her head then looked over her shoulder at him.

“Move out of the way and I’ll fall into the bushes.”

“I will catch you. If you fall into the bushes, you’ll break your freaking neck. Trust me! I’ll catch you.”

There was such fear and distrust in her eyes it killed him inside. The thought that she would rather land in the bushes and take her chances of breaking her neck instead of trusting in him pissed him off. He was going to get to the bottom of this stubbornness of hers.

“Let the fuck go now!” Eric stated.

“Okay.”

“On two, baby. One…two.”

She let go, and Max caught her and pulled her into his arms, squeezing her tight. Her legs were wrapped around his waist, and her arms wrapped around his shoulders as he held her against him.

“I was so scared, honey. Thank God you’re okay,” he whispered as he caressed her hair. She began to pull away, but he wasn’t ready to release her. Especially with her breasts pressed up against his upper chest. His brother was behind her, caressing her hair and her back.

When she looked at Max, he

saw the fear in her eyes and shock.

“You caught me,” she stated as if she really hadn’t believed that he would.

“Of course. I told you I would, honey.” He shook his head then pressed his hand over her neck and under her hair to the back of her head. “Don’t you ever do that again,” he stated then leaned forward and pressed his lips over hers. He kissed her tenderly as his fear lessened as if holding her calmed him. When he felt her hands press over his shoulders then lean closer, kissing him in return, he felt triumphant.

Slowly he released her soft lips, loving the taste of her in his mouth. Before she could give any sort of comment, Eric placed his hand against her cheek, causing her to turn toward him. “You scared the hell out me,” he whispered then leaned forward and kissed her just as deeply as Max had. Max relinquished his hold on her to his brother, giving Eric a chance to hold her and confirm that she was indeed safe.

After thoroughly kissing her, Eric carried her toward the pickup truck and placed her on the tailgate. In this position and height, they were eye level with her.

Stacy was shaking so hard the moment they released her. The events unfolded in her mind, and she wasn’t sure which part scared her more. Whether it was the fact that she fell off a roof and hung for her life, that Max and Eric actually caught her like Max said they would, or that both brothers just kissed her better than any man ever had. She felt some sort of connection to them. She hardly knew them, yet they felt so familiar. She couldn’t trust them though. They had to be after something, even if it was just sex. Her belly and her pussy warmed at the thought. Both men were so fucking sexy her eyes couldn’t stop looking at them. And she felt feminine and dainty in their arms. She had been in both of their arms and let both men kiss her passionately. There was nothing innocent about their attention. Nothing.

Max stepped between her legs and caressed her thighs. Eric leaned against the truck, placing a hand on the bed of the truck right next to her right thigh.

“Are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?” Max asked, still caressing her thighs and then her arms and shoulders. The more his large, callused hands touched her, the more her body quivered and ached in sexual need. When had she become so horny? It hit her almost instantly after meeting both men. It was the afternoon she arrived and caught sight of the sexy, handsome cowboy appearing out of thin air and then again when she met the deputy with the most adorable dimples ever. Oh crap. She was attracted to both of them, and it appeared they felt the same way about her.

“Stacy, honey, are you okay or are you hurt anywhere?” Max asked.

“Maybe she’s in shock?’ Eric added then softly moved a stray hair away from her cheek.

“In shock from hanging off the roof or from us kissing her?” Max teased.

He continued to caress her thighs, which only made matters worse. The warm sensation from his palm caused imaginary streams of sexual desire to collide into her pussy. Her pussy wept, and her clit throbbed. How the hell was she going to walk, never mind work the rest of the day, in this condition? She never felt anything like this just from a man’s touch. As a matter of fact, the only time a man ever touched her, he left her feeling dirty and negative. She felt the tears fill her eyes.

“Stop doing that. I’m fine. Thank you,” she whispered, and both men smiled, instantly stealing her heart away. She immediately pushed Max aside and jumped down off the tailgate. She really did have issues, and now was not a good time to entertain sexual fantasies with not one, but two men at once. That thought had her stomach clenching again.

She closed her eyes as the severity of her inadequacies in life came barging into her mind. She needed to avoid her attraction and the feel of safety in their arms.

It was Eric who grabbed a hold of her hand then wrapped his arms around her from behind. She froze in place the instant she felt his firm body wedged against her back. She felt his hard cock against her lower back and the seam of her ass cheeks. Too many erotic visions went through her mind. It had been years since she had sex. Something told her that sex with these two men could kill her. Then she stopped the thoughts. She couldn’t let this happen. There were too many unresolved situations in her life right now.

“Where are you running off to?” he whispered against her hair on the top of her head. Damn, it felt so good to be held in his arms. She was practically lost in his embrace and much larger frame. Again, the realization of his size and his strength frightened her. She tried to pull away, but his arms were locked around her. She didn’t know him and couldn’t trust her own judgment. Even her gut instincts were all screwed up right now.

“Please don’t restrain me like this,” she pleaded in a whisper keeping her eyes closed. She felt Eric tense then slowly release her before turning her toward him. He lifted her chin with long, thick fingertips, and she slowly opened her eyes as she wrapped her arms around herself in a protective stance.

“Is that what you think, that either one of us would force ourselves on you?”
