Ecstasy in Elk's Crossing (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) by Robin Gideon Read Free Book Online

of four men who were masculine in the extreme, men who acted instantly on their impulses, men who would defend her to the death if necessary, brought with it chaotic emotions. She was from San Francisco, and she couldn’t possibly imagine any of the McGowan men ever being comfortable in such a city. But San Francisco was where she intended to return someday.
    No matter how she looked at her friendship, or whatever it was with Aaron and his brothers, she always suspected that over the horizon was anger, hurt, and heartache.
    “Feisty lady, aren’t you?” Blair said.
    Katie gave him a smile and breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad to be out of her own thoughts. “As a matter of fact, yes, I am. And since you and your brothers were so quick to defend me, how about I buy the beers for the rest of the evening?”
    She had to walk past them to get behind the bar. She’d done it hundreds of times in the past month, so it shouldn’t have been something that would make her throat suddenly feel so tight that it was difficult to breathe. Only it did.
    The tension that she’d experienced at being threatened was now completely forgotten. But the drunk had served a useful though entirely unintended purpose. He’d made it possible for the McGowan men to prove beyond question to Katie that they would fight to defend her honor. When they said they would protect Katie and keep her safe, it wasn’t an empty promise. These McGowan men weren’t the wealthy businessmen from San Francisco that Katie was accustomed to. They didn’t toss out promises cavalierly, knowing they would never actually have to make good on their word.
    “A beer for a reward?” Aaron asked, arching a brow.
    Katie watched as the men fanned out, and for a moment she thought of them as a pride of lions, not yet ready to start the attack, but moving into position on the zebra, getting ready for the inevitable charge. Claws and teeth would sink into warm flesh…
    “Sometimes you can be frightening,” she said in a whisper.
    “We’d never hurt you.” Aaron’s tawny gaze moved up and down over her, and Katie shivered. “Quite the opposite, in fact. We’d keep you safe and give you more pleasure than you ever dreamed possible.”
    She believed him with every fiber in her body.
    In an effort to discharge the sexual electricity in the room, Katie cleared her throat, feigned a cavalier smile, and replied flippantly, “I’m sure all of that’s true. What’s less clear is whether or not I want to be the central figure in a gang bang.”
    The men smiled at that, and though the tension did dissipate slightly, there was still a lusty intensity in the eyes of the men that told Katie they wanted to take possession of her in every manner and method imaginable.
    “You’re trying to demean the act of making love.” Aaron looked at his brothers then back at Katie. When he put his hands on his hips, sliding his jacket back in the process, she was made aware of how lean his hips were, and how broad his shoulders. “Imagine this instead—four men, all fit and in their prime, each one more determined than the next to pleasure you, to excite you, and to make you feel alive beyond measure.” His heated gaze caressed her. “Sinfully alive. Wickedly alive. So alive the feelings should be criminal.”
    I can’t listen to this, or I’ll be on my knees in front of all four of them!
    The lurid thought hit Katie with a physical force that was so powerful she actually staggered back several steps. Like a lightning bolt shooting through her consciousness, she imagined herself fully clothed and on her knees. She could see the McGowans, all four of them, dressed in their finest cowboy garb, their jeans unzipped, their cocks pale and hard, glistening with her saliva. She could see herself sucking, stroking, and moving from one to the next, pushing all four closer to climax, to the point where they…
    Katie shook her head to force away the taboo images that taunted her
