“All three of us have two arms and hands, Doc. We know how to do housework. It’s not just a woman’s job. We are modern men. We’ll make up a schedule of chores for all three guys.”
“Domesticated already,” she teased.
“Doc, for you, anything. I love you. I need you. You are the lifeblood that runs through my veins, baby. I realized that when I left. I was a stubborn fool for not coming back sooner.”
“Yes, you are.”
His grin widened. “As opposed to I was. Not past tense?”
Happiness bubbled through her at his teasing. Lifting her arms, she wrapped them around his neck and curled her fingers against the back of his head.
His eyes twinkled. He had the most beautiful eyes. It was like looking into the dark blue sky at twilight.
“I have demands, too. I have needs,” she began as she remembered what Teyla had told her when she’d been here for a visit yesterday.
“Lots of needs,” he whispered and brushed his mouth against hers in an intoxicating featherlight kiss that had her breaths increasing in speed.
“The agreement goes both ways. When I want a man to submit to me, then he must. Or all three of you for that matter.”
There was an explosion of emotions in his eyes, and for a second Liz swore she forgot to breathe. She could read the emotions clearly. Excitement. Arousal. Want. They all swirled like a tornado threatening to suck her right up.
“And I want something from you right now,” she said softly.
She felt him tense against her. Saw him lick his lips in anticipation.
“Anything, baby, anything.”
“Go outside and help Tyrell and Landon fill the tub. I’m dying for a hot bath.”
His face flopped into disappointment. She wiggled her fingers against the back of his head and struggled to keep a straight face as she knew he’d been expecting her to say, “Let’s have sex.”
“Can you do that for me, honey? Help the guys draw a nice hot bath for me? Oh, and when you’re finished with that, there’s more wood that needs chopping so that tomorrow morning when I need my bath, the wood will be there for you to toss into the drum stove.”
His frown deepened, and she seriously wanted to start laughing. The man still had to learn to put his money where his mouth was, didn’t he? Oh well, training him and the other three would be fun.
“Oh, and after my bath, I want you guys to get right on a ‘honey do this’ list for all three of you. I want you to figure out who is going to do housework and what chores you guys prefer to have. You may as well take the ones you enjoy the most. Each of you. Then at least they’ll get done if you enjoy doing them.”
She ignored his raised eyebrows and the puzzlement on his face, stood, and headed for the hallway. She expected him to protest, to demand she get back into the kitchen and have sex with him. He didn’t, and oddly enough she was disappointed. But yeah, Teyla was right. Liz needed to make demands of her own from the three men, and now would be the time to start.
Slipping into the bedroom, she closed the door behind her, and a couple of minutes later she heard the front door creak open as Durango left the house. Moments after that, she heard the men talking behind the house in the general direction of where the outdoor tub was located. Then she heard the sound of someone chopping wood.
Liz smiled. Huh, that was easy.
Too easy, a voice warned as she began to gather the things she would need for her much-anticipated bath. Way too easy.
Chapter Nine
When Liz let herself out the back door, cold mid-morning air blasted against her. She gripped the bathrobe tighter around her and quickly walked toward the lean-to that housed the bathtub. Before leaving to join Durango’s cousin’s gang, Durango and Landon had built the lean-to with the opening facing south, allowing for a sunny exposure while she bathed. They’d found the claw foot tub in one of the desolate farmhouses in the valley, as well as a handmade woodstove made from a drum at another neighboring farm. They’d lugged the items here to her place. Now, as she strolled across the meadow toward the lean-to, she smelled the aroma of wood smoke, saw the grey smoke spiraling lazily from the long pipe attached to the stove, but none of the men were in sight.
Where had they gotten off to? She set her towel, the bar of lavender-scented soap, and a disposable razor onto the wood shelf within reach. She gazed at the tub and laughed with enjoyment. They’d filled it to almost the rim. Lots of hot baths. Hmm, another benefit of having three strong men here with her. So, she traded it off with some hot and heavy sex. How could anything be wrong with that?
Disrobing, she shivered in the cold air and quickly stepped into the high tub, sighing as she sat into hot liquid heaven. Water embraced her sore pussy, ass, and her tender breasts, lapping against all those muscles she never knew she had. Oh yeah, she could get used to having wonderful hot baths every morning.
Grabbing the soap, she quickly washed her hair and the rest of her, taking extra care to soap her tender breasts, pussy, and other intimate area. She would need to be clean for the guys.
Smiling, she remembered last night. It had felt wonderful being impaled on Landon and having Durango thrusting into her tender ass while Tyrell fucked her mouth. Just thinking about the pleasure they’d created, had her moaning softly and closing her eyes.
Yes, this new way of life could certainly turn into paradise. Licking her lips in anticipation, she ran a hand leisurely over her sensitized breasts, surprised at the need gripping her with such a fierce intensity she hadn’t felt before. Smoothing her other hand down over her lower belly, she ran a finger between her labia to rub her clit. Her pussy and ass both clenched hard, and she moaned softly at the reaction.
Oh lovely. She was seriously arousing herself and not a man in sight to bring her relief.
As she continued touching herself, she turned her face into the cold breeze and warm sunshine. Thankfully the lean-to blocked most of the wind, and the smoke from the nearby woodstove was minimal as it escaped the tall pipe. She could hear the wood crackling in the stove and listened to the wind whistle through the nearby tall grass.
She sunk deeper into the tub, sighing as the warm water embraced her body. Steam curled around in front of her eyes, and lavender-scented soap wafted off her skin making her feel as if she were a queen soaking in a tub awaiting her male sex slaves to approach her and make love to her.
She closed her eyes and smiled at that idea. She gasped as she pinched her nipples, finding them tender as well. Those men sure had known what they’d been doing last night, and she wouldn’t have traded that experience for the world. Now that she’d stepped over the threshold, she doubted she would want to go back to living alone. Now, she understood what her friend Teyla had meant when she’d told Liz the same thing. Menages were addictive.
She sensed the men before she even opened her eyes. Knew the three of them had come for her. Knew she wouldn’t say no. Could never say no to the pleasure they were sure to give her.
Slowly, she opened her eyes, and blinked at the three men who stood around the tub staring down at her naked form lounging in the water. She didn’t even feel a spark of shame at being caught like this, nude and touching herself. She felt as if she were Alice in Wonderland and she’d slipped down the rabbit’s hole, appearing in a new world. A world she wanted. One she knew she would like.
“You looked too luscious for us to ignore, Doc,” Durango whispered. His voice sounded hoarse and strangled. Aroused. His eyes were the deepest blue she’d ever seen them, and there was a sparkle of amusement in his gaze.
“We made up that honey-do list you were mentioning earlier to Durango,” Landon said as he, too, gazed down at her body. Liz stilled at his intense look, and succulent heat fused through her.
She tried to concentrate on what Landon had just said. The honey-do list? And then she remembered. Oh great, Durango had mentioned their earlier conversation to them? Would anything she said be a secret between the two of them? Somehow she doubted it. These three men had formed a tight bond, and she would be their woman.
