Hearts on Fire 7: Claiming Catalina(18)

By:Dixie Lynn Dwyer


As she rounded the corner to where her townhouse was, she saw the familiar big blue truck and cringed. She had been sure to text the guys and let them know she’d gotten in late last night. When they asked if everything was okay, she lied and said it was good and then went for a jog. Obviously word had traveled, and now she would have to explain what happened.

She was surprised that they were nowhere in sight, and as she unlocked the door to her townhouse, there they were, standing or sitting around her kitchen and living room, and boy, did they look pissed.

She closed the door and placed her hands on her hips. She cringed as she forgot about her bruised hand.

“How did you get in here?” she asked.

They looked at her as if it was the stupidest question, and she realized it was.

She forgot what kind of men she was talking to as she pulled her lips tight and then walked toward the kitchen.

Jeremy spoke up first. “We were worried about you. We tried calling you several times.”

“I was out jogging. It’s my last chance to practice before next Saturday and the race.” She took a slug of water from the water bottle.

“Enough of the bullshit. What the fuck happened last night? Were you even going to tell us about this asshole who bothered you? About how he was going to press charges? What the hell went down and why didn’t you call us?” Cody asked, raising his voice.

She looked at him as she set the bottle down on the counter.

“I took care of it,” she said to him.

They were obviously shocked at her response. None of them replied for a moment.

“I really need to shower and change,” she said.

“Let’s see the hand,” Cooper said to her.

“It’s no big deal. It’s not even sore,” she said, and he touched it, taking it into his hand. She gasped and pulled back.

“Jesus, it’s fucking sore and badly bruised. Are you certain you didn’t break it?” he asked, and this time she gave him a smartass expression.

“Who the hell was this guy? What happened?” Don asked, and she took a deep breath before she explained.

“Why didn’t you tell us about this guy and your sister? Is this why you were adamant about not getting involved with all of us at this point?” Cooper asked her.

“Yes. It hurt so badly when I found them in bed together. We had our whole lives planned out, and my own sister sleeps with my boyfriend. I trusted him, and I trusted her.”

“I’m certain it did hurt. I couldn’t even imagine that. We would never hurt you, Catalina. We all want you as our woman,” Cooper told her.

She stepped back and walked over to the couch. She sat on the arm of it and looked at the four of them.

“It’s been so hard for me over the years since that happened. I was in love with Paul. We planned our whole lives together, and that night, in some drunken stupor, he slept with Kaylee. It hurt badly, and for weeks he would call and try to talk with me and beg for forgiveness.” She looked down at her hands and felt the tears in her eyes. “I almost forgave him. God knows what that weakness would have cost me in the long run. But then Kaylee told him she was pregnant.”

“Damn, that’s why you don’t talk to your sister or other family?”

“There is no other family, Cody. My grandmother passed away last year.”

“So this guy sees you after all this time and you start talking to him? Did you still have feelings for him?” Jeremy asked her.

She shook her head. “I broke his damn nose, Jeremy. What do you think?” she replied sarcastically.

“You already have one spanking coming your way for not calling us immediately last night. You want to make it multiple?” Cooper asked her as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. His tone, his appearance, and words should have made her angry or even worried, but they didn’t. She felt aroused and in such need of them, but she was fighting it. She was fearful she could get hurt again and, this time, it would be quadruple the pain.

She swallowed hard.

“I admit I felt badly as he explained what happened and how the baby turned out not to be his.” She went on to tell them exactly what had taken place and led up to her slugging him.

Cody ran his fingers through his hair. “And he was trying to press charges against you? He could have forced you onto a boat with those guys and raped you.” He raised his voice.

“I know, Cody.”

“No, I don’t think you realize how fucked up this is and how serious of a situation you were involved in. Why would you talk to him? I know you’re a sweet person with a big heart, but seriously, Catalina, why?” he asked as he approached her. He knelt down in front of her, took her hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed the bruising.

“I was confused, and I wasn’t really paying attention to the signs because I kept thinking about how it all happened, and about my fears. I hadn’t been with any other man since Paul until the four of you. That’s four older, more experienced men, and I’m scared, Cody. I’m scared of falling so fast, of trusting each of you entirely in case you can’t work things out and move here to Treasure Town, and I’m scared because I already love each of you, and I shouldn’t.”

The tears filled her eyes, and Cody pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

“I know you’re scared. We are, too. We’re taking huge risks as well and moving our world to be with you here. Cooper and I are taking the job offer. Cody and Jeremy are looking into other options for work nearby here. Today we’re looking at houses, and we want you to come with us because it’s going to be your house, too.”

She pulled back, caught off-guard at his words.

“What?” she asked Cody, and he smirked, then looked at his brothers. She glanced at them as they stood there watching her.

“It’s true. We’re looking at houses, seeing how we can work this out,” Jeremy told her.

Cody cupped her cheeks and looked into her eyes.

“You’re not the only one who is scared or the only one who’s fallen in love. We have, too.” He pressed his lips to hers and kissed her deeply. When he released her lips, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and hugged him tightly.

“I’m sorry I didn’t call you. I’m sorry I freaked out and pushed you away. I want this to work. I need this to work because I need all four of you in my life.”

“And we need you, but you’re still getting an ass-spanking,” Cooper said as he approached. Cody got up, and Cooper pulled her up into his arms. He kissed her deeply and then carried her toward her bedroom.

Her heart felt light. Love soared through her, and she wanted nothing more than to live happily ever after with her four sexy, hot men.

Catalina gasped when Cooper dropped her onto the bed.

He reached for her shorts and began pulling them down.

“Oh God, wait. I need to shower first. I’m all sweaty from my run.”

“No need. A spanking first, and then we’re going to get really sweaty anyway, baby. We’ve got three hours until we need to meet the real estate agent, Sophia,” Cody said as he slapped a tube of lube in his hand and smiled wide.

Her anus clenched, and her pussy dripped cream.

She gasped as Cooper stripped her of her clothing and then tossed her onto her belly over his knees.

“Here’s for not calling your men immediately last night.”

Smack.

“Oh.” She gasped and then felt his palm rub over the ache he’d caused.

“For making us worry all night, and then not calling us and telling us what happened last night, and how scared you were.”

Smack.

She jerked and then felt the caress right before his fingers dipped into her very wet cunt.

“Oh God, Cooper.”

Smack, smack, smack.

“You’re our woman, and we’re here to protect you and love you. Never forget that,” Jeremy said as he undressed along with the others.

Smack.

“Oh God, please,” she begged as Cody stroked her pussy and the men took turns smacking her ass.

In a flash, Cody lifted her up and placed her right on top of Don, who lay on the bed naked, his leg still bandaged.

She gripped his shoulders and lifted up. “Don, your stitches.”

“I’m fucking fine. I need you. Ride me now. Prove to me that I’m yours and you’re mine.” He pulled her down for a kiss as she eased her pussy over his cock, taking him inside of her deeply. He released her lips, and they both sighed. “Heaven. Inside of you is fucking heaven, woman.”

Then she felt the hands caressing her spine and then her ass.

“Fucking this ass is heaven,” Cody whispered and then suckled a sensitive spot against her neck. She shivered and shook, making her pussy cream some more.

Then she felt Cody lift back, and a moment later, cool liquid pressed into her ass. She spread her thighs wider as she rocked her hips and fucked Don. Don cupped her breasts and pinched her nipples.

“So beautiful and giving. You’re ours now. This body, your heart, and soul belong to us as ours belong to you,” he said, and then she felt the fingers under her chin and Jeremy was there, stroking his cock.

She lowered her mouth immediately to his cock and began to suck him into her mouth. When Jeremy fisted her hair and began to stroke into her mouth, she relaxed her body and let them take her, control her, and love her. Then she felt fingers stroking her ass. Cody was there arousing her and getting her ass ready for cock. She wanted it, needed it, as she moaned against Jeremy’s cock.
