She felt her cheeks heat at his words and hoped the hot water had already reddened them. ‘Thank you for the bath. Kane said it was you who told him I’d enjoy this. If any one of you was going to be caring here, I knew it would be you.’
Sorin’s eyes narrowed at her words. ‘I’m not some virtuous creature, Lana,’ he said sharply, making her flinch. ‘I’ve done awful things – even before I joined the Brothers. You do us both a disservice if you believe me to be kind. I’m as selfish as Kane. I’m just a better liar.’
Lana shook her head adamantly. ‘I don’t believe you.’ She held up a hand when his mouth opened to argue. ‘I don’t doubt that you have, as you say, done awful things, but I don’t think you’re as self-seeking as you think. In fact, I know you aren’t.’
‘How would you know?’ he scoffed. ‘Look at you, innocent little thing.’
She bristled at his condescending tone. ‘Well, the bath for starters. You wouldn’t have thought of it otherwise, wouldn’t even have remembered how much I like them.’
‘I would if I knew it would sway you towards me, soften you so I could do what I liked with you without having to tie you beneath me and force your legs open,’ he said crassly.
She tilted her head. If he thought his words would scare her or make her turn away from him, he was mistaken. ‘You already can; you know you can. I don’t understand why, but I would do anything for you and Viktor, even Kane after what he’s done. It frightens me, but it’s the truth. Even when you say things like that.’ She looked away. ‘Especially then,’ she whispered.
He lunged for her with a growl, taking her mouth hard as his hands gripped her knees and forced her legs wide beneath the water.
‘So you like it when I talk about fucking you roughly, eh? Do you want me to force you? What about Kane and Viktor? Shall we all take you whenever we like, wherever we like, just as if you were our little pleasure slave?’ He groaned. ‘When Kane said that this morning … Oh, the images it put in my head of you … The things I’m going to do …’
She gasped as his thick fingers plunged into her in one swift stroke and whimpered as he eased them out, only to thrust them in again. She clung to him, wrapping her legs around him. And suddenly his thick cock forced its way into her passage as his fingers withdrew. He stood, lifting her from the water and half sitting her on the edge of the thick barrel, using it as leverage as he pistoned into her. He caught her lips again, his tongue plunging into her mouth, mimicking his shaft as it moved in her. She came suddenly, screaming his name as her legs went to jelly and he shouted, spurting his seed deep into her as she spasmed around him.
They sank back into the water and didn’t move for an eternity, their breathing slowly returning to normal. He pulled away from her slightly and she mewled her response. He hushed her with a chuckle and set about washing her thoroughly with the soap she’d noticed on the side. He lathered her hair and body, dousing her clean, and got out of the tub. He used a blanket to towel himself and then helped her out, drying her as well. It was only then that she realised that Viktor and Kane were sitting at the table, eating. The way they were looking at her made her sure they’d been in the tent for most of what had just happened with Sorin. She felt herself flush, and Sorin nuzzled her neck from behind with a grunt.
‘How could you not enjoy these constant blushes?’ he asked the others, and she lowered her eyes, reddening even more.
He led her to the bed, naked, of course, and tucked her in.
‘Get some rest,’ he whispered. ‘Tomorrow you train with me, my little pleasure slave.’
Her eyes widened and he laughed. ‘You’ll enjoy it, I think.’
She shook her head at his easy charm and yawned. She knew she was right about him even if he didn’t. The last thing she remembered as she drifted into the depths of sleep was something that tasted coppery dripping into her mouth.
Chapter 23
Kane
It was for their unit that they lived. His Brothers were his family, as he was theirs. Kane tried to keep those thoughts in the forefront of his mind as Sorin and Viktor stood in front of him, muttering their reproofs in forceful whispers so as not to wake their newest member.
‘We watched you with her from the treeline yesterday, Kane. You were treating her as if she’s been here for months. It was her first day of training,’ Viktor said harshly, his eyes blazing as he stared Kane down.
Kane’s lip curled into a snarl. ‘We start for the coast tomorrow!’ he said in a low voice. ‘The invasion of the Islands will begin within weeks and she will have to be with us on the first ships. I’m trying to keep her alive!’
Sorin stepped forward and jabbed Kane in the chest hard. ‘You trained with her yesterday. With everything you had her doing, it was up to you to make sure she ate, at least!’
‘It wasn’t Kane’s fault.’
They all turned at the soft voice and watched Lana sit up, her eyes sleepy. She yawned and it took all of Kane’s self-control not to pounce. Watching her with Sorin last night had left him rock hard, and things hadn’t improved much with the dawn. He forced his eyes away from her delightful body, wishing he could retreat without them all noticing.
‘It’s early. Go back to sleep,’ he ordered.
Ignoring the command, she got out of bed, careful to shield herself from their view completely, he noted in amusement. After wrapping herself carefully in the bedsheet, she walked slowly to where they stood. A free woman she might be now, but she was still theirs and he itched to show her that.
‘We didn’t mean to wake you,’ Sorin began, but she held up her hand.
‘Then perhaps you shouldn’t have been having an argument while I was trying to sleep,’ she admonished to Kane’s surprise. She was different this morning, bolder. She sat at the table with a grin. ‘I didn’t eat last night because I was tired and I wanted the bath more.’
Not saying anything else, she grabbed some food from the table, tearing some bread from the loaf and cutting meat from the joint. She ate slowly, clearly savouring her meal, and disregarded them for the most part.
Meanwhile, Kane mused, the three of them stood there like fools; her court dancing attendance. His eyes narrowed.
