Free Collateral Damage by Bianca Sommerland Page B

best to relax and let him in. I wasn't sure how far he'd go before he got a hold of himself. Somehow, I knew any resistance would just push him further over the edge.
    "I am yours." Tears burned my eyes as the sting of penetration tore through me, but I managed not to cry out. "And that's why you can use me. Because I've given myself to you."
    "Nicole." He said my name as though he'd just realized who I was. As though I hadn't been anyone before. Anyone that mattered that is. He kept one thumb at my back hole, but lay beside me, sparing me the extra pressure of his weight. "I should stop, but I need his. I can't explain . . . ."
    "Don't try." I covered his lips with my fingers. "Do what you have to."
    He groaned and kept pushing, pressing, until the dry scrape of his calloused thumb became everything. A ball of pure, raw pain that seemed to rip me open. But I took the pain because I knew he needed to give it to me. As it had been given to him.
    Only I accepted it. Almost welcomed it. Any way I could help heal him was worth whatever happened now.
    "Not like this." He whispered in my ear before leaving me.
    The burning sensation remained, not getting any better, but at least not getting any worse. He shuffled around the room and returned, dropping several things on the bed by my hips before sitting and spreading me open again. Something cool spilled down the crease of my ass, soothing the sting.
    "This is bigger than I wanted for your first time, but smaller going in than I would be." He slid something in the liquid and pushed it against me. "Only I can remove it—and I will in a little bit, but then you'll keep it in until I see you again. That way no one can take this from us."
    I cried out as my back hole was forced open around the hard thing. More liquid pooled around it, making passage easier, but it still hurt like hell. I twisted to escape it, but Vince shifted to lie across my thighs.
    "Push against it, love. Resistance increases the pain."
    The pain, yes, but pushing against it humiliated me. To allow the violation . . .
    still, I could feel how much smaller the thing was than Vince. It would shield me from others going there. Which was good.
    If only I could convince my body.
    His hands worked at the object, and it grew inside me. I whimpered. I heard a click. And then Vince left it and lay down at my side.
    "Shh. All Done." He stroked my cheek and kissed me. "Promise me you'll do whatever Lacy says. She's been with Cyrus for months, she can prepare you for whatever twisted way he chooses to test you. Her only value is how much she can take from him . . . if you can do even half that . . . ."
    "I will." No question there. I had to hold on, just a little longer, for Alrik . . . and Vince if I could. "But you have to promise me something in return."
    He delved his hands into my hair and slid his lips up my jaw. "I shouldn't, but yes, if I can I will."
    "Let me teach Alrik my way tomorrow. Cyrus doesn't have to know."
    Drawing away from me, he looked into my eyes as though trying to figure out why I'd asked what I had. Then he nodded. "From this point on, when it comes to Alrik, we do things your way."
    "Thank you." I burrowed into his shoulder, letting the hard muscles of his arm and chest surround me. "And we'll do everything else your way."
    "Everything?" He reached down, and suddenly I felt him, hard and ready between my thighs. "What about now?"
    I sucked in air, a little freaked out by the way my body said Yes! Even though physically, I couldn't see how he would fit. "I'm full. That thing—"
    "You can take more." He drew one of my thighs over his hip and slipped himself back and forth between my soaking wet folds. "You'll have to."
    Wrapping my arms around his neck, I lowered my head to his shoulder and nodded. He drove into me with one smooth thrust and went still. My insides undulated around him, throbbing where I stretched beyond what I'd ever thought possible. As he began sliding in and out, I let go and
