Belonging to the Steer Brothers Page 3

  “You’ve been naughty. Haven’t you, Anna?” Paul asked. His voice was firm and held a threat for her not to lie.

  “Yes, sir.” She loved it when her men were dominant.

  “Do you know what your punishment is for being naughty?”

  “No, sir.”

  “Then wait until we tell you.” Paul stroked her hair, his hand going in one long line down her body and past her breast. “Such gorgeous tits.”

  “Thank you, sir.”

  “I didn’t give you permission to speak.”

  Anna held her lips closed. She knew she was in big trouble. How could she not be when her pussy was so wet with cream? A cry escaped her lips as Paul placed the clips on each of her nipples. She whimpered from the small bite of pain shooting through her body. Her clit was on fire. It would be hours before they allowed her any kind of release.

  “She’s all yours, David.” Paul moved away, and his brother came into sight. He was naked. His cock, long, hard, and thick, stood out. She wanted to lick and suck him. To do to him what she’d seen in so many movies.

  He moved round her back, and his hands touched the globes of her ass. “Such a nice, smooth ass. So pale.”

  Whack!

  Anna screamed as the paddle he held smacked on her ass, the sting jarring her whole body. The clips on her nipples provided a pull. The bite and sting went all the way to her cunt.

  “Count for me.”

  Whack.

  “One.”

  Whack.

  “Two....”

  Anna jerked awake as David was about to land the third spanking. Her dreams were becoming more and more vivid with every passing day. She dreamt of being with David and Paul. Collapsing in a heap on the bed, she stared at the ceiling. Her heart was pounding. Her pussy was soaking wet. Closing her eyes, she knew playing with herself would be useless.

  Trying to ease the ache inside her didn’t work. She found little to zero satisfaction. Twenty-three years old and her entire sexual experience had come in dreams.

  Pitiful.

  David’s Dream

  “Did you miss me, David?” Anna asked. He lay on a lounger by the pool in nothing but a pair of swimming trunks. Paul had once again warned him away from the love of his life. How could he stay away from her? He loved her more than anything in this world.

  She stood before him in a pale blue bikini. Her long black hair surrounded her. He liked that she never got it cut.

  “I always miss you. Why did you go?” he asked.

  “Don’t think about me leaving. I’m so glad to be back.”

  “Anna, what are you doing?” She removed the top part of her bikini. Her tits were bare for him to see.

  “I want to be with you, David. I want to be with you and Paul. Being away from you hasn’t been right. I’m sorry. Can you forgive me?” She went to her knees by his chair. Her hands were on either side of his legs. He shouldn’t be thinking about how naked she was.

  Looking away, David stared at the pool. Why was he cursed to love a woman he couldn’t have?

  “There’s nothing to forgive.”

  “Yes, there is. I ran, David. I ran because I was scared about my feelings for you both.”

  Her hand rubbed along his thick, swollen shaft. David moaned and watched as Paul came out to join them. He looked at Anna with love like he did. Love and heat. Both men lusted after the same woman, as it had been for generations with them.

  “Look at her, David. There’s nothing wrong with us wanting her. Anna loves us. She wants us. Let go. Let her love you,” Paul said.

  “Is this what you want?” he asked her. Never would he do anything unless she wanted to.

  “David....”

  David gasped awake. Glancing at his clock he saw it was only two in the morning. Reaching for the water, he took a large gulp. His cock tented the blankets where it lay over his lap. The dream was poignant to him. He had the same dream over three years ago when he was going to ask Anna out. Paul had told him to leave her alone. His brother knew best, and at the time, he had given Anna space. In the time it took to give her space, Paul had pushed her over the edge, and she’d left.

  Could it be possible to have a relationship with Anna? He wanted one. Loving her was part of him. Not something he had to learn. Lying down, he stared at the ceiling. Sleep was a long way off.

  ****

  Paul’s Dream

  “I know your secret.” Anna took the book out of his hands and threw it across the room.

  “What’s my secret?” he asked. She took his hands and placed them on her hips. She straddled his lap, her core pressing against his shaft.

  “You’re scared of wanting me.” She leaned down and laid a kiss on his lips.

  “Don’t be ridiculous.”

  “You’re scared of how much you want me. David loves me, and it scares you with how easily you can give me your heart. I can give you everything, Paul.” He watched as she leaned back and removed her shirt. Her tits were naked for him to look.

  “Don’t do this, Anna.” Closing his eyes, Paul begged for the nightmare to stop. He’d wake up, and Anna would be someone else’s woman. Who would want to belong to the Steer men?

  “You’re scared of me hating you.”

  With each word she spoke, Paul knew it was the truth.

  “Paul, the oldest and most resilient brother, is afraid I’ll give him my love and then take it away.”

  The dream changed. David stood behind Anna. “If you don’t learn to love her, she’ll disappear.”

  The dream flashed, and Paul sat naked in a room. “You’re a bastard. The pair of you. How could I ever believe I loved you? You did nothing but use me. Use me.”

  He watched as Anna flung items of clothing into a bag. She looked older, into her forties. She looked as if they’d broken her spirit. Her pale complexion was blotchy. She was too thin.

  Paul didn’t do anything but sit and wait. Words failed him. Suddenly, an older version of himself stood in front of him. “Open your heart. If you don’t, you’ll lose her. Do you want this? To see her leave? She’s gone once because of you. What’s to say she wouldn’t do it again?”

  Paul woke up. A cry echoed round the room. He was on the top floor, and he knew his brother and Anna wouldn’t hear him. His cries would go unheard at the top of the house.

  Getting up from his bed he went to the bathroom and splashed some water on his face. He knew what his dream meant. If he wasn’t careful, he’d go on holding Anna at arms’ length. He would only give her a part of him, and in return he’d destroy the vibrant young woman inside her. Staring at his reflection, he refused to be the man who caused her world to turn upside down.

  Chapter Three

  The following day, Anna awoke with a determination to get back on old footing with the brothers. Yes, time had passed since the last time she’s seen, them but that was no excuse for her to behave like a spoiled child.

  Flinging the covers off her body she climbed out of bed and headed for the bathroom. After using the toilet, she washed her face, brushed her teeth before walking back into the bedroom. The pile of clothes on the desk awaited her. Groaning, she glanced at the clock. It was only seven in the morning. She had plenty of time to try the clothes on and take them into town. Dropping her nightgown on the bed, she began working on the pile of clothes. Some of her old stuff she couldn’t get past her knees, and other stuff like dresses and the odd shirt, fit better. She placed the items that still fit back in the drawer, and the others she placed on the bed.

  She pulled on a pair of jeans, a shirt and some shoes, brushed her hair out and then gathered the items. She walked down stairs where she found Paul and David in the kitchen. Didn’t they sit anywhere else in the house?

  “Morning,” she said. Her mind was racing as she wondered what they were thinking about. Her normal instinct was to sit down and wait for them to serve coffee, the way a guest would. But this was her house, and until they said otherwise, she’d g
o back to treating as if it still was her house.

  “You’ve cheered up some,” David said. “What’s with the clothes?” She’d dumped them on the counter.

  “Oh, those. I left them behind, and I tried them on this morning. Do you have a bag or something? I’m going to nip into town and give them to the second-hand store.” She poured her coffee and turned to assess the two men.

  The time away had been way to kind to each of them. Paul looked even more darkly dangerous, and David simply looked hot. His arms looked bigger than when she was last here.

  “Do you think that’s a good idea?”

  What, getting wet over you?

  “Huh?” They couldn’t see what she was thinking, surely.

  “Going into town. You’ve not been back long.”

  Anna laughed. “This is CapeFalls. Nothing ever happens here.” She drank the last of her coffee, kissed David and then Paul on the cheek, then picked up her clothes and left.

  She had lots to do, including getting ready for her party.

  “Wait up, Anna,” David shouted.

  Turning, she saw him dangling car keys from a finger.

  “Last time I checked, you didn’t have a car,” he said.

  “I was going to walk, but seeing how you want to be all capable, I’ll let you drive me.” She placed the last clothing inside the bag and walked behind David to the car. “Isn’t Paul coming?”

  “He’s making some last minute preparations for your party.” Anna clapped her hands. He gave her a funny look.

  “Sorry,” she said. “I’m trying to get back to normal. This distance between us shouldn’t be here.” Her cheeks must be bright red from the blush she felt spreading up through her body.

  “Don’t worry about it. I’m glad to have you back.” He opened the boot of the car, and she dumped the bag of clothes.

  “Do you want to get some breakfast in town?” he asked.

  “I’ll see. Thank you,” she said as he opened the door. Anna got in and buckled her seat belt. She glanced up at his office window and saw Paul staring out. Giving him a wave, she didn’t to see if he waved back, and she settled down.

  The sun was shining bright in the sky. “Has CapeFalls changed much?”

  “From being judgmental and full of women who like to gossip and men who like to pretend they know everything? No, it’s pretty much the same.”

  “So the same old town. Why doesn’t it move forward?” she asked. When she’d been living here, the way the people acted had never bothered her. She’d grown up in CapeFalls, and she’d accepted their way of life. Leaving had made the town seem more old-fashioned.

  “I don’t know. I think they’re happier not knowing what’s going on in the world. Makes everything easier to keep in control.”

  Anna rolled the window down and let the fresh air run through her hair. “I’ve missed this.” The town might be stilted in its growth, but the fresh air and mass of greenery was refreshing after a life of living in the city.

  “Do you think you’ll miss your old life?”

  “You don’t know what happened in my old life.” She knew he was talking about college.

  “Tell me about what you did.” He turned a corner, and she saw the town coming into view.

  “I studied. Literature, mostly. I found a passion for reading, which wasn’t a big surprise.”

  “Why?”

  “Well, everyone here knew my business and left me alone, apart from the gossip and whispers. In a city or my college, people want to know about you. When they found out my parents died, I became like a tortured soul they wanted to constantly talk to. If I had a book in my hand, they left me alone,” she said.

  “Sorry you had to go through that.”

  “Don’t be. Even though it drove me crazy, it was nice to see other points of view. To be asked about it and get to tell them what happened. They didn’t have a blow by blow from their dad or mum.”

  Anna fell silent and stared out of the window.

  “What else did you get up to?”

  “Nothing much. I did party some. My friends took me to a night club for my twentieth birthday. I get drunk and ended up throwing up round the back. A nice man who owned the club was kind enough to send me home.”

  David was entering the town. Anna glanced all around, surprised that nothing had changed.

  “Would you drive around so I can see everything?” she asked.

  “Sure.”

  “Here we are on the CapeFalls tour, hosted by David Steer.” She burst out laughing as he deepened his voice. “On the left we have the diner. They still serve greasy burgers and fries. However, they added a caramel sauce to the desert menu. Very risky if you ask me.”

  Anna laughed at his sarcasm.

  As they passed each shop, he added some dialogue. After ten minutes, Anna was laughing so hard she was begging him to stop. “And here we’ve got the library where the books are. I don’t know if they’re vetted anymore, but last time I checked there were only tame romances allowed to the female populace.”

  “The town wouldn’t want us to learn how short-changed we are on the male species,” she said. “Wow. Nothing has changed. I wonder how long I’ll be saying wow for.”

  “Come on. Let’s grab your clothes and get some breakfast. I want a greasy breakfast with bacon, eggs, sausages and all the works.” He pulled up at a parking bay. Anna joined him at the boot as he unlocked it. She grabbed the bag and waited for him to lock up. They walked down the street together.

  Several people stopped them on the way to the second-hand store.

  “Looking forward to the party,” one said.

  “Great plan to celebrate your birthday and your return,” another said.

  After the sixth or seventh person stopped them Anna was getting tired of it. “Next time, don’t bother throwing me a party.”

  “I’m actually thinking of agreeing with you. I don’t know half of these people, and already they’re annoying me.” He opened the door to the second-hand shop.

  “Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in. Little Anna Myers. Come here girl,” Amy Grant said.

  In no time she had Anna in a hug and was squeezing the life out of her.

  “I need to breathe.” Amy had been friends with Anna during high-school. They’d lost touch when Amy married the school nerd, not for any reason other than Amy was starting a family. And all the while Anna had been trying to get the Steer brothers to see her as a woman.

  “Sorry. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you. About five years.”

  “Yeah. How’s....erm....” Shit. She couldn’t remember the name of her husband.

  “Steven?”

  “Yes. Your husband?”

  Silence met her answer.

  “Steven is no longer in the picture. Would you like to look around, or are you dropping things off?” The change in the other woman was instantaneous.

  “I’m dropping off. I didn’t mean to upset you,” Anna said.

  “You didn’t. It just made me realise how different our lives turn out.” Amy took the clothes and put them in the back.

  Anna didn’t know what to do. She glanced at David and saw he was uncomfortable.

  “Erm...Amy. I’m supposed to be having a party tonight....”

  She didn’t get chance to finish. “I know. I got an invite, but I can’t leave the kids. I’m pleased to see your safe back home.”

  They left the shop as Amy started dealing with a customer. “What was that all about?”

  “Don’t. I’ll tell you over breakfast.” David took her hand and led her to the diner. Considering it was still early in the morning, the place was heaving with customers. David got both of them a seat in the back. People stopped her and wished her well as she passed. Anna didn’t like the attention. She’d been happy to pass through most of her life being invisible. A waitress took their order, served coffee and left.

  “Wow, the customer service has gone downhill since the last time I was here,�
�� she said.

  David reached across the table and took her hand.

  “I’m really glad you’re back, Anna.”

  She smiled. Being with him while trying to forget about the past made her realise how much she wanted to be home.

  “I’m happy to be back.” She meant every single word.

  ****

  His heart lifted. Seeing her smile meant everything to him. David held her hand, his thumb stroking her fingers. Touching her felt like a dream. The pleasure from simply being closer to her affected him far more than it ever had in the past.

  What had changed in the last three years besides him getting older? Where Paul was nine years older than Anna, making Paul thirty-two, David was only twenty-nine. The age difference was smaller.

  “What are you thinking?” she asked.

  “Nothing. I don’t want to get all sappy over you.” He broke contact as the waitress came back with their order. They had both ordered a full breakfast. Anna, like old times, passed him over the extra helping of bacon and took one of his sausages. He enjoyed watching the easy way she dealt with him.

  “Spill the beans. What have I missed?”

  He’d forgotten about Amy working in the second-hand shop. The whole scenario had been one of the biggest scandals since the Dean and Laura.

  “What do you want to know?” David hated gossiping, and Amy had her own demons to fight.

  “David, do me a favour and answer the question.” She cut her sausage in half and began eating. Anna sure knew how to eat. Watching the meat disappear between her luscious lips was actually making certain parts of his anatomy swell.

  For fuck’s sake, man. It’s a sausage!

  “There’s nothing getting past you, is there?”

  She shook her head. “I’m back, and I’d like to know what’s going on.” He took a swallow of his coffee and set his knife and fork down.

  “This isn’t my business, and I imagine at some point you and Amy will talk. About a year ago, Steven was arrested. Police were called to the house. He’d beaten Amy to within an inch of her life. Apparently, she’d been suffering at the hands of her husband for some time. The kids were unharmed, but they testified against their father in court.”
