Devon's Pair: Powertools, Book 4 (6 page)

Honestly. I do.”

Joe rumbled from beside them, where he cuddled Morgan against his chest.

“Why do I sense an enormous
but
?”

“It’s true.” Mike sighed. “I’m worried, for the first time since we found each other, that if we’re not honest now, we could lose this closeness. I refuse to let us drift apart.”

Devon felt like an interloper. Hell, she’d barely gotten to know them and they were a decade into their friendship. “Should I go?”

“Shh.” Neil put his hand over her mouth.

“Hell no, you shouldn’t leave.” Dave rounded on her. “He’s talking to you too. You’re part of us. Can’t you sense it? This crazy bond? It’s happened to us enough times now to recognize when we meet someone that belongs here. It doesn’t take long to be sure. Unless you don’t feel it?” She bit her lip until Neil removed his fingers to let her speak. “There’s a connection.”

“That’s good enough for me.” Mike shifted, rising to his knees so they could see him better. “I’m telling you right now that I trust you. Each and every one. If something were to happen to me, I’m confident you would look after Kate.” She whimpered beside her soon-to-be-husband.

“Don’t worry, babe. I’m not planning on checking out anytime soon. But why should it be any different when we’re here? Now. Together. I love you, Kate. Same as Joe does Morgan and Dave with Kayla. Neil, James and Devon too.

Being with the crew before we met you didn’t impact that. Changing how we act around each other is stifling us. I’m afraid it will lead to fights. To discontent.” He rubbed his temples. “I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. I’m more sure now than ever that how we’ve gone about things is not the answer. Watching and staying apart sucks. We need to be together. It’s how we’re best. However feels natural. Right, Kayla?”

“It makes sense to me, yes.” She roused from Dave’s embrace. “If you want to express your affection physically, you should. Like the other day. I could tell when Dave walked through the door. His eyes were brighter and he hugged me twice as hard as usual. It’s a vital part of you guys. Sharing like that. Whatever seems right and nothing else. But I expect you to tell me all about it, in detail, if I’m not there to enjoy it firsthand.”

Murmurs from around the group ensured they were all in agreement.

Devon shivered. “If I had a vote, I would love to watch you do more than play voyeurs. As hot as things got the other day, I saw you struggling to stay detached and I wondered… God, you have no idea the dreams I’ve had the past two nights.”

“You
do
have a say.” Mike nodded at her. “Each of us does. I’m guessing we’d all be in favor of sharing that link with each other. With you.” A smattering of curses, moans and pleas—both masculine and feminine—

filled the wild evening. Rice-paper lanterns with botanical prints cast a soft glow over the gathering. Radiance enveloped them as darkness gathered outside the boundaries of their intimate world. Nothing beyond the reach of their spell mattered.

James moaned and Neil caressed her shoulder. “Sort of like your first time all over again.”

“Unless you count fantasies, group sex is definitely something new for me.” She smiled up at him, accepting his light kiss.

“We’ll be gentle. At least where you’re concerned.” Mike grinned. He didn’t hesitate in resuming his usual role, foreman through and through. “James. Get on your hands and knees in the middle of us. Let’s see how well Dave designed this contraption.”

Chapter Five

The men surrounded the slightest member of their group, staying low and helping him stabilize while they caused ripples in the surface of the lounger. If the presence of four smoking hot men and their fantastic ladies messed with James’s equilibrium as much as it did hers, Devon understood his need for their steadying touch.

The women followed their guys until one couple occupied each side of the square rope-work. It then resembled a dirty version of
Hungry, Hungry Hippos
with James in imminent danger of having his marbles devoured.
There
was a game that had taught major life lessons… Slam the handle—as hard and fast as possible—over and over and over until somebody wins. No wonder it had been her favorite.

The adult jungle gym turned out to be great for more than relaxing. They could indulge their creativity. James spread his legs. Pliable cords, set close enough that he didn’t have to worry about sinking through, supported each of his knees.

What was the rope made out of? It was soft enough to be silk. She’d ask the crew later.

Much later.

James’s knuckles went white as they wrapped around one of the strands that created perfect grips. Spaced at frequent intervals, they ensured no matter what height he was, there would have been a rung guaranteed to be comfortable.

“Simple and ingenious.” She didn’t realize she’d spoken aloud until Dave answered her.

“Thanks, Dev.”

“The possibilities are endless,” Kate murmured as though she contemplated a thousand or so positions she’d like to experiment with.

“We have all the time in the world to try whatever you can concoct,” Joe chimed in, making James groan.

“Speak for yourself. If someone doesn’t touch me soon I’m going to die.” He attempted to rub his crotch, but tipped. Mike righted him, chuckling at James’s plight.

“Diabolical.” The smaller man shook his head. “I should have known.”

“So, how are you going to convince Joe to stroke your cock for you?” Mike’s inquiry turned squeaky at the end. It took Devon a second to notice Kate’s arm had snaked around his hip from behind him to fondle
his
package. Devon couldn’t help but stare as his cock thickened, overflowing his fiancée’s palm.

“I’ll blow him.” James didn’t sound like he minded. In fact, it kind of came out like begging.

“I’m sure he’d appreciate that. Fair trade, Joe?”

“Yeah. I want him to get me nice and hard for Morgan.” He angled his head to steal a red-hot kiss from his lady.

“After watching James working your hard-on I might not need you to fuck me.” She panted when he released her lips.

“I’ll always need you, Morgan.” The intensity of his stare seemed to melt his future wife.

Devon could relate. She didn’t think before sidling closer to Neil. His abs scorched her hands when she rested her palms on the flexing muscles.

“Mmm.”

“If you really want to rev him up, rub his chest.” James tossed the hint over his shoulder in her direction.

“No fair, tag-teaming me like that.” Neil groaned when Devon massaged his pecs, pausing to flick her thumbnails over his hard nipples. “Ah. Damn.” James’s chuckle was short lived. Joe scooted tighter in front of James and fed the kneeling man his erection. Their lover obliged greedily, sucking the shaft down to the base in one fluid slurp.

“I have a plan,” Mike announced. “We’re going to play spin the construction worker. Whoever his mouth points to wins the BJ lottery. If you’re on his right, you’ll work his cock. I think the person in the rear can figure out something that suits you both.”

“What about the guy on the left?” Dave, currently in that position, actually raised his hand, making Devon and several others laugh out loud.

“That lucky bastard will fuck his woman. When he makes her come, we’ll turn James ninety degrees. Not one second sooner.” Mike grinned, clearly pleased with himself when Joe slowed James’s sucking with a light tap on his cheek. “And if James can hold out until each of our girls has come at least once, we’ll make sure he gets a special prize. Whatever he requests. Sound like fun?”

“Hell, I’m halfway to orgasm thinking about it.” Kayla shifted beside Dave.

She rubbed her thighs together, drawing Devon’s attention to the glimmer of arousal coating the tops of them.

James paused his sensual assault on Joe’s cock. “I know what I want.”

“Yeah? What?” Joe painted moisture over James’s lips with the tip of his cock.

“I want all of the guys to fuck me, to come on me. It’s been almost a year since…” He trailed off.

Kate petted his flank from her position at his side. “I’m sorry, James. You should have said something sooner. I wouldn’t have kept Mike to myself if I had understood how you missed him. All of you.” Devon didn’t realize she’d held her breath until Neil cupped her hand in his and whispered over his shoulder, “Are you ready for this? There won’t be any stopping them soon.”

“You could say that.” From her position, crouched behind him, she ground her mound against his hip.

He growled and captured her mouth in a brief yet fierce kiss. When he relented, her eyes fluttered open once more. Mike had shifted closer, reaching beneath James to cup his balls and stiffening shaft. Kate hugged the foreman from behind, kissing his back and studying the motions of his roaming hand.

James moaned and spread his legs wider, arching his back. The motion presented his ass to her and Neil.

“Hang on a sec.” Dave lunged for the edge of the net and jabbed his hand into the plants surrounding one of the supports. He retrieved something then tossed it to Neil, who caught it effortlessly in one palm.

“Dude, did you pluck this from the lube bush?” Neil laughed as he uncapped the small bottle.

“Always prepared, you know.” Dave wiggled his eyebrows. “I stashed some supplies earlier, just in case.”

“I’m not sure what merit badge you get for this, but nice work.” Neil grimaced. “I don’t suppose you have some condoms over there too, do you?” Devon tapped Neil’s elbow. When he glanced at her, she whispered, “I’m on the pill. You don’t have to if…”

“We’re clean. All of us.” Neil groaned. “Are you sure?”

“Yeah.” She bit her lip.

Neil groaned. He tried twice to open the bottle before he drizzled the gel over his fingers. Some dripped off, landing on James’s exposed ass.

The kneeling man twitched, dislodging Joe’s cock from his mouth long enough to beg, “Hurry, Neil. Mike’s still fucking amazing at hand jobs.”

“You always did like his technique. A little rougher than the rest of us, huh?” Neil painted the lubrication over James’s ass, notching the tip of one finger at his clenched hole.

Devon inched closer for a better view. She allowed her hands to cruise over her body. They soothed the flames licking at her chest and pussy as she observed the guys—whom she’d come to respect on the job—transform into versions of themselves so much more primal and honest than the reserved shells they’d donned before.

“Amazing.” She scanned the men and women ringing James. They were focused on his pleasure and their own. Nothing so powerful had ever graced her life. Privileged to be among them, she abandoned any reservations and soaked in the raw passion they created together.

“Yes, you are.” Neil kissed her without slowing the steady penetration of his finger into his lover’s ass. With his free hand, he cupped her breast, rolling the pad of his thumb over her hardened peak.

A cry from her left drew her attention. She looked over in time to see Dave finish burying himself in Kayla. He blanketed her long, strong body, shuddering when she wrapped her arms and legs around him, drawing him closer to her center.

A spasm clenched Devon’s pussy. She had to avert her eyes or risk coming right then. Except every place her greedy gaze landed, it feasted on another treat.

Joe threw his head back, exposing the cords of his neck to Morgan’s nibbles as he began to rock into James’s mouth. Kate had lowered herself to her back to 52

reward Mike for his dexterous hands by laving his cock and balls with slow laps of her tongue.

Devon couldn’t stop herself. She reached down and took hold of Neil’s erection, which strained against his six-pack abs. She fisted him despite his groan and his attempts to convince her to let go.

“I won’t last if you do that.” He bit her lower lip then soothed the sting with flicks of his tongue.

“You’d better.” Mike gritted his teeth. “No disappointing your lady, unless you’re hoping another crew member will pick up your slack.” The threat alone was enough to weaken Devon’s legs. If she hadn’t already been kneeling, she would have crashed to the netting.

“Fuck, no.” Neil snapped. He pumped his finger deep into James’s clenching hole, adding a second digit when the man in front of them rocked back, asking for more.

“Dave, you’d better not dally,” Mike called out orders. “I’m sure you can push Kayla over the edge faster than that.” The woman’s response was unintelligible. However, the trails left by her neat nails as they scratched down her lover’s back spoke volumes. Dave’s hips ground against his girlfriend’s, escalating her whimpers to full out cries in less than a minute.

“There you go, Kay.” Neil encouraged her. “Open your eyes. Watch what you two are doing to us.”

When the naturist peeked from beneath the shadow of her enthusiastic lover, she groaned. Her arm flailed out, grasping onto James’s wrist where it supported him. She shivered violently as she inspected Joe’s shaft tunneling between James’s generous lips. Then she scanned to Mike’s impressive manipulation.
