Ghosts of Christmas Passion Page 3

  “Ugggh," she screamed. "Scott…Drake, it’s too much…” She cried out and tried to move, but they held her tight between their bodies. Every inch of her tingled with heat, sweat beaded on her forehead, and the strongest orgasm she’d ever had in her life rippled through her body.

  Muscles shook in her legs and arms. She now tasted of Scott, and Toni swore the room smelled like Christmas—spruce and cinnamon.

  Chapter Four

  Drake slid his cock into her ass, gritting his teeth. As soon as she was in the throes of her orgasm, they would send their powers into her, joining them for eternity. Her body tightened as she screamed, and he knew it was time.

  He released his powers at the same time Scott did. Toni screamed again and threw her head back against his chest. Electrical tremors moved through the three of them and she fell onto Scott, momentarily passing out.

  Drake stared at the beautiful woman in their arms. He didn't regret doing what they had done, but he did wish they could have courted her, but there was no time. He and his brother felt something was coming, and they never ignored their gut feelings.

  They held on to and rolled to their sides, while staying inside their woman. Drake had never believed they would find their woman here on Earth. The first sign that she had awoken was her ass tightening and squeezing his cock. He and Scott hissed in pleasure.

  “Are you okay?” he questioned and started to pump into her again.

  “More. Please. Faster,” she grunted, trying to move to get them to move inside her. The overwhelming sexual need upon her now was one of the effects of their joining.

  He reached back and slapped her ass. “We tell you what to do, not the other way around. Now hush.” Pushing back, he looked down, watching his cock disappear into her ass. He traced the dimples in her ass cheeks thrusting faster and harder, as Scott reached between them and played with her clit.

  She whimpered, needing to come as she tried to lift up, but he pushed her down again, slamming into her. It wouldn't take them long. His balls tightened, his cock hardened further, and he released what he’d been holding into her, giving Toni what she needed. They had waited for her for 400 years, and he didn’t regret the wait. He leaned down, moving her hair, and kissed the back of her neck.

  Slowly he slid out of her, pulling her off Scott and onto his chest. He grabbed a handful of her hair and tilted her head back. “You’re ours now, Toni. We won’t let you go, ever.” He kissed her, sliding his tongue into her mouth. Sure enough, the he could taste the lingering tang of blood.

  Drake pulled back and stared into her eyes. “We’re going to have to use the ball gag on you. I won’t have you hurting yourself.” He frowned, feeling her tighten up and try to get away from him.

  She shook her head. “I’m sorry. I can’t, Drake. Please don’t ask why. Just accept it.”

  He released her hair and frowned. “Tell us, Toni. Why are you so afraid of the ball gag?”

  Toni cupped his cheek, then escaped his grasp and climbed out of bed. She went to the door and grabbed her robe off the hook on the back. “Maybe in time, Drake, but right now, it’s too painful and embarrassing to talk about. I’m going to get a bite to eat," she said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, then quickly left the room.

  Drake glanced at his brother, who stood and stretched. “We have an assignment right now. We’ll have to pry it out of her later,” Scott said. “I’ll go tell her we’ll be back. Let Mom and Dad know we’ve found our bride and will bring her by soon.” He walked out the door as Drake stood and dressed. He hated the thought of leaving her so soon, but they would at least know if she was in trouble now.

  Drake waved his hand and materialized in the doorway to his parents’ kitchen. He laughed as he watched his father tying their mother up on the kitchen table, thanking the gods she was still dressed “Have I come at a bad time?”

  His mother glanced at him and kicked his father. “I told you this wasn’t the time. Now untie me.”

  “Who said you can speak, slave?” His father winked at him and slapped her ass. “Our sons have seen you tied up many times, so hush.” He turned to his son. “So what brings you home, Drake?”

  Drake leaned against the kitchen counter. “Scott and I have found our wife. We’re married now. We’ll bring her by soon, but she’s still new to all of this.” He waved his hand to encompass the room around them.

  His mother squealed and squirmed on the table. “Damn it. Untie me. I want to meet her!”

  Two more slaps landed on her ass. “Didn’t you just hear Drake? They need more time with their wife, and so do I with mine, since it’s obvious you can’t remember who is master in this home.” He turned and clapped Drake on the back. “Congrats, son. We can’t wait to meet her. I think your brother is waiting for you.” He nodded to the doorway.

  Drake sighed and went over to kiss his mom’s cheek.

  “See you in a few days.” Drake walked out the door to retrieve their assignment from his brother. Would she get used to their life? He hoped so, because she had no choice.

  * * *

  Toni cuddled up in front of the TV. Scott had told her that he and Drake needed to go on one of their assignments.

  “Oh Granddad, you sure know how to pick them. What, no humans were good enough for me?” She laughed and watched the Christmas show. Tomorrow she would get a couple of small gifts for her men. What the hell do you get two Christmas ghosts?

  “You don’t need to get us anything. Well, you could give us the gift of trusting us and telling us your story when we return,” Drake purred as her nipples were pulled.

  She jumped and glanced around the room. “Concentrate on your job. You don’t want to get fired, do you? You never know. I might be one of those women who love to spend her husband’s money. I know for a fact I will not support them, though.” She laughed as he tugged on her hair.

  “You will not need any money. We will give you everything you need. That is what masters do; they take care of their slave,” Scott informed her.

  Toni shook her head and turned off the TV, then headed upstairs after making sure the door was locked. “I’m afraid you and I are going to butt heads, Scott. I do like a little independence. I want to be able to walk into a store and buy what I want without having to ask for it. So, get this master/slave thing out of your head unless it’s in the bedroom. Then I would be glad to be your and Drake’s love slave.” Toni stepped into the bedroom and crawled into bed, where she snuggled up to the pillow Drake had lain on.

  “We shall see, young one. We shall see. Sleep. We will be back soon.” Drake said.

  Toni didn’t know how long she had been sleeping when she heard glass shatter downstairs.

  “Scott, Drake? Is that you?” She threw the covers off and pulled her robe tighter around her body as she tried to open the bedroom door. “Okay, guys, why are you locking me in here?”

  Strong, warm arms wrapped around her from behind. “Because we have an unwelcome visitor in our home, and you, my dear, will not even get close to him.” Drake nibbled on her neck.

  Toni frowned and turned in his arms. “Who is it? It's not Hank, is it?" She shivered. "Should I call the police?”

  Drake slipped off her robe and lifted her breasts in his hands. “No, Scott will take care of him, and don’t worry about who it is. We told you no one will harm you.” He lowered his head and captured her nipple with his mouth.

  “How come I can’t hear anything, Drake?” She tried to push him away, but he stood his ground and lifted his head, grinning at her.

  “You need to pay attention to me, not them.” He scooped her up and carried her back to bed. “I hope you don’t mind, but I invited my parents here for Christmas. This way, they can meet you and we can spend the holidays together.” He smirked as she froze beneath him.

  Toni narrowed her gaze and slapped his arm. “Please tell me you didn’t, Drake. I just met you guys, and now you’re inviting your parents! Get off me right now! I want to clobber yo
u.” She pushed at his chest as the bedroom door opened and Scott walked in.

  “Did you just slap me, Toni?” Drake purred, grabbing her hands and lifting them above her head.

  “I thought you guys had an assignment. And yes, I smacked you. Damn it, we haven’t even had time to get to know each other. What were you thinking? The house is a mess and I have tons of things to do tomorrow.” She glared at Drake as Scott climbed on the bed.

  Scott and Drake stared down at her and frowned. “Calm down, Toni. Everything will work out fine. Our parents will love you.” Drake glanced at his brother. “Everything taken care of?”

  “Yes, he won’t be coming here again.” Drake turned and kissed her nose. “It’s late. Sleep, and we’ll talk in the morning.” They curled up next to her, holding her.

  Toni stared up at the ceiling, feeling as though her life had been turned upside down. She glanced at Drake. His handsome, strong features were enough to stop any woman’s heart. When she turned to look at Scott, his deep red hair and green eyes stood out, drawing her attention. His smile was bright and deceiving, and beneath the surface stirred a live volcano waiting to erupt if someone pushed the wrong button.

  She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. The bank president would be waiting for her at nine o’clock. After that, she had major shopping to do, since it was obvious she was having people over for Christmas.

  Toni tossed and turned all night. Her new husbands snored, not moving an inch next to her.

  She glanced at the clock at seven thirty, then sighed and slipped down the bed without waking them up. She’d have her coffee, then make a list and figure out what the hell she was going to do about Christmas. Tomorrow was Christmas Eve and they didn’t even have a tree.

  She grabbed her clothes and headed off to dress in the bathroom downstairs so she wouldn’t wake Drake and Scott. The coffee perked as she brushed her hair and stared into the mirror. She didn’t feel any different, yet she could feel her connection to them. Braiding her hair, she made her way into the kitchen and glanced outside. The snow had stopped falling, and the sun peeked through the clouds.

  She attached a hairclip to her braid and grabbed a pad of paper, a pen and a cup of coffee and sat at the kitchen island.

  “Bank, Best Buy, mall, grocery store and Christmas tree,” she said as she wrote. Toni laid down her pen, grabbed the chair and put it by stove. “Where did I put that cookbook?” she asked as she climbed onto it. She searched the cabinet above the stove as the chair shook. “Damn it, not again…” She shrieked as the chair tumbled over, sending her to the floor, but once again she didn’t land.

  Smiling, she glanced up to see Drake laughing at her as he held her. “I swear. I’m going to have to invest in football padding for you. What are you doing up so early?” He kissed her nose and set her onto the counter, then stepped between her legs.

  “I told you I had things to do. I have a meeting at nine o’clock at the bank and a number of other places I need to go.” She smiled and grabbed her coffee, then took a sip.

  Scott came into the kitchen yawning and glanced at the chair on the floor, then at her. “She didn’t fall again, did she?” He laughed and grabbed the coffee, then poured himself some.

  “Yep, she did, and she was going to leave without telling us too.” Drake grabbed her list and handed it to Scott.

  “Why do you need to go to Best Buy and the mall?” He frowned at the list. “Toni, you’re not going anywhere without us.”

  “Excuse me? I can do what I want. I’m going to Best Buy because I need to buy a new refrigerator and a washer and dryer, and I want to get a laptop. Now move, Drake. I have an hour to get into town before the meeting at the bank and I don’t know how bad the roads are.” She moved to jump down, but Drake held on to her.

  “What’s wrong with our fridge? And you don’t need a washer and dryer. We can supply you with clothes. As a matter of fact, we will be picking out your clothes from now on. As far as a laptop, we’ll get it for you.”

  Toni glared up at Drake. “For one, your fridge is too small. It’s for an apartment. I need a bigger one. I like to cook. Two.” She lifted her fingers and put them in his face, and he nipped them. “I’m used to taking care of myself, Drake, and that means picking out my own clothes. Three, I want to see what laptops they have. You don’t just buy one—you need to pick the right one for your needs. I need a laptop for my work so I can take it with me wherever I go.”

  Drake sighed and clothed himself, as did Scott. He glanced at the clothes Toni wore, and frowned. “Sorry, but jeans are out.” He stepped back and lifted her off the counter. A long-sleeved dress clung to her body, replacing her jeans and sweater. They gave her a hot pair of black leather boots. “Now that’s much better. Are you ready?”

  Toni shook her head. “You forgot something here. I can’t go out in public with no underwear and bra.” She tapped her foot on the floor.

  Scott came up behind her, slipped his hands under her dress and squeezed her ass. “No, he didn’t forget. From now on, there will be no undergarments. Now let’s go.” He slapped her ass and pushed her forward, and a long black leather coat covered her body.

  She jumped at the slap, then grabbed her purse, keys and the shopping list from Scott’s hand. “Fine. You can come, but don’t get in my way. I have too much to do if we’re going to have your parents here.” She stepped outside as Scott wrapped his arm around her waist.

  “Just making sure you don’t fall again.” He laughed as she stuck out her tongue at him.

  Chapter Five

  For four hours Toni cussed, fussed and almost knocked both her husbands in the head. As she stepped into the bank, they hovered over her, glaring at any man who got close to her. Scott had even tried to reach across the bank president’s desk and strangle the man as he flirted with her. Never had she been so embarrassed, but what was really something the bank president was a clueless one at that. How he made it to be president for sure. The man didn’t even recognize the threat her two husbands posed. If she wasn’t so pissed at them, Toni would have laughed at the situation.

  She stormed into the house and threw her coat on the couch. “I can’t believe you two. I didn’t get a damn thing done. I have no fridge, no washer and dryer, no laptop, plus you wouldn’t let me buy anything for your parents for Christmas, let alone decorations for the tree also I wanted to get, but didn’t.” She grabbed the pillow off the couch and threw it at Scott. “And you, what the hell were you thinking trying to strangle the bank president?” She ran up the stairs and slammed their bedroom door, then locked it.

  “Grandpa, what the hell were you thinking?” She plopped down on the bed and curled up against the headboard. Tears slipped down her cheeks. How was she going to make this thing work if they wouldn’t even compromise? Ever since her mother and father had died, she’d taken care of herself. She couldn’t just sit here and do nothing. She would go crazy.

  The doorknob jiggled. “Toni, open the door. We need to talk,” Drake pleaded.

  “Why don’t you just flash in here, since you can do anything you want?” she cried into the pillow but knew they had heard her as she heard the door open and their slow footsteps across the floor.

  Scott crawled onto the bed and sat next to her, but neither of them touched her. “Toni, you have to stop crying. You’re going to make yourself sick.” He reached over and tried to brush away her tears when she looked up, but she jerked back. He sighed and leaned back against the headboard.

  “Tell me something, Toni. Why would we let you spend your money when we can easily give you the things you want? The same fridge you wanted at Best Buy is downstairs in the kitchen, the washer and dryer you wanted are all hooked up, and the Christmas decorations you wanted are sitting in the living room. As far as the laptop, you don’t need to work. We don’t want you to work. You will want for nothing. We just want you home with us. We’ve been alone for a long time, so we don’t want you leaving every day to go to a job,” Drake said
, pulling her hair down and unbraiding it.

  Toni sighed and wiped her face. “Thank you for getting those things, but that wasn’t the point. The point is I have to have something to do while you’re away on whatever those assignments are. I can’t just sit here. I’d go stir-crazy. You wouldn’t even let me buy anything for your parents for Christmas, which was my way of saying welcome.” She hugged the pillow tight against her.

  “I understand you don’t want me to work, but I have to have friends and other people to talk to. You can’t cut me off from everything I know. That idea scares me.”

  Both men turned to her and kissed her cheeks. Scott pulled the pillow away and tossed it onto the floor. “We can’t promise to stop trying to do things for you, but we will allow you some time to do the normal things humans do. It will be hard for us, though, so you’ll have to have patience with us,” he mumbled.

  Drake smiled. “Why don’t we go get you a tree? We can decorate it after you eat something. We can even make Scott put up Christmas lights outside if you want.”

  Scott leaned over her and pushed him off the bed. “If I have to put up lights, so do you.”

  Even though she was still upset, Toni couldn’t help but giggle and both of them turned their focus on her. “I don’t know why you’re laughing. This is all your fault,” Scott pouted.

  Her anger ebbed as she laughed and slapped him on the arm. “I’m sure you’ll do fine. Come on. You promised me a tree.” Toni jumped off the bed and ran for the door, but Scott appeared in front of her.

  “You just hit me.” He grinned and grabbed her around the waist. “No one hits me without me getting even.” He slipped his hands under her dress and smacked her ass twice, then turned Toni so he could back her up against the door. “I think I need more.” His pants disappeared and he lifted her up against the door and pushed his cock into her pussy. “Mmh, now that’s more like it.”
