Chapter Fourteen
Sierra sat in the oversized rocking chair in Hannah’s room, holding her daughter as she smiled down at her sweet, round face. She was still in complete awe of the precious little girl who was quickly approaching two months old.
For some reason, she’d somewhat expected the novelty of a new baby in her arms to have worn off by now, but that wasn’t the case. The complete opposite. Each and every time she looked into Hannah’s sparkling blue eyes, touched her soft little hands, smelled her sweet baby scent, Sierra fell in love a little more.
There was no other way to put it. Hannah was perfect.
Over the last few weeks, Hannah’s eyes had lightened from the newborn baby blue to almost crystal blue like her own; however, they had a fascinating cobalt blue ring around them, similar to Cole’s. Hannah’s hair was still dark, although it wasn’t as thick as it had been when she was born. Aside from the dark hair and the lighter shade of blue eyes, Hannah looked just like her daddy.
She had Cole’s slightly dimpled chin, his nose, and his eyebrows but thankfully, it appeared as though she wasn’t going to get his height. Sierra could only hope that she wouldn’t be quite as short as her mother.
“I’ll see you later.” Luke’s hushed voice distracted Sierra, and she glanced up to see the handsome man looking down at her from the doorway of Hannah’s room. When she smiled up at him, he moved in closer before leaning down to press a gentle kiss to Hannah’s forehead.
The kiss he shared with her after that lacked some of the gentleness he was known to show his daughter, and Sierra sensed the hunger building inside of him. She knew what he was feeling because she felt it just the same.
“I’m taking Hannah to see my mother today, just in case you wonder where I am,” she told him.
Watching him closely, she tried to read Luke’s expression. He seemed somewhat detached these days. She didn’t think it had anything to do with her or the baby, but she wasn’t sure. There were so many things going on with the club and the changes that were underway, Sierra had a hard time keeping up.
Ever since Hannah was born, Sierra hadn’t had much time to take on new clients and even after they all agreed to purchase the new building for the future club, she hadn’t had any time to devote to getting the new design mapped out either.
“I’ll be at the club most of the day. I’m gonna meet Logan for lunch. I’ll try to get off early, but no promises. I think Xander’s stopping in today, and I need to talk to him.”
“We’ll see you tonight then.” Smiling up at him, Sierra watched as Luke disappeared from view.
Xander Boone, the newest partner in the club, was a force to be reckoned with, but Sierra liked him immensely. Being that there were now four partners – Luke and Logan still the majority shareholders – it was getting interesting, to say the least. The new club, which she had insisted they figure out a name for other than “The Club” was going to be amazing. Considering the amount of work it was taking to get it ready, there wasn’t any other option.
As it turned out, Trent Ramsey, the once silent partner in Club Destiny, was far from silent these days. He officially stepped up to the plate to help fill in while Luke spent much needed bonding time with Hannah. Although he was unquestionably a public sensation, they were managing to keep the paparazzo at bay by not announcing the location of the new club just yet.
According to Luke, they weren’t going to be able to keep it a secret much longer, which meant it was going to be any day now.
Ever since Luke had closed the doors on the fetish club, thanks to some of the member’s unsavory business dealings coming back to bite Luke and Logan in the ass, Trent had been a prominent part of their lives. He wasn’t happy with the choices, but he seemed to understand.
At first Luke wasn’t thrilled that Trent had opted to come out of hiding to offer his two cents, but being that Trent did own close to a third of the club at the time, he’d had to deal with him. Lately, it seemed as though the three of them – Logan still opting to remain behind the scenes because of his position at XTX – were working together nicely.
Just in the last few days, Luke had started working a lot more. Spending less and less time at the house, usually coming in after Hannah was asleep for the night. According to him, it wasn’t going to last long, but the logistics of the club were being mapped out, and he would be damned if he would be left out of it. Sierra couldn’t blame him, but she was beginning to wonder whether he was just coming up with excuses to stay away from the house.
Realizing Hannah had fallen back asleep, Sierra placed her back in her bed before tiptoeing out of the room. She probably had enough time to take a shower and grab some breakfast before Hannah would be up again. By then, Sierra should be ready to head over to her mother’s. She needed a distraction, and she couldn’t think of anything better than her mother at the moment.

The instant Sierra walked in the front door several hours later, Cole could do nothing more than stare at her. He’d been sitting on the couch, minding his own business, working on his computer, but the instant he sensed her presence, he was hypnotized by the sight of her.
Seven weeks ago she had a baby, and he was pretty sure that every single day since the first day he met her, she had gotten just that much more beautiful. And now... well, he still couldn’t take his eyes off of her.
“Where’s Hannah?” he asked, noticing Sierra’s arms were empty.
“At my mother’s,” she replied sweetly, a mischievous gleam in her eyes that Cole could see from across the room.
At her mother’s?
Cole was somewhat surprised, although a little relieved that Sierra had decided to give Veronica a little time alone with the baby. As much as he missed Hannah every second that he was away from her, he knew Sierra was in need of a little break from time to time. He had been relieving her as soon as he got home in the evenings, but there had been a few days, especially in the last couple of weeks, where Alex had sent him on some crazy ass mission to dredge up business farther north than was their usual market.
Veronica had gently, although firmly, announced her desire to spend a little more time with her only grandchild, but Sierra had seemed nervous. Cole knew it had nothing to do with Veronica, and everything to do with Sierra wanting to keep Hannah close, so he was happy to see she’d finally decided to take Veronica up on her offer.
“Come here,” he told her, moving his laptop to the coffee table. When Sierra got close enough, he pulled her down onto his lap gently, sliding all of her jet black hair back behind her and holding it in one fist. “You all right?”
Sierra laughed as she snuggled against him. God he loved how she felt in his arms. He had gotten used to her cuddling up to him or to Luke or both of them at the same time, and he found he missed her when she wasn’t right there with him. These moments had occurred even less since Hannah was born, but it seemed as though all of them were trying to incorporate a few more hours into an already busy day and that never seemed to work the way they hoped.
“I’m fine. She’s fine,” Sierra said, sounding as though she were trying to convince herself more than anything.
“Well, I can think of something to take your mind off Hannah not being here,” he whispered, nuzzling her neck and inhaling her sexy, lavender scent.
“I’m thinking that sounds just about perfect right now,” she whispered back, her hand touching his cheek as she pulled his mouth closer to hers.
Cole couldn’t resist pressing his lips to hers as he pulled her closer, tightening his grip on her hair just slightly. Almost eight weeks had gone by since the last time he’d been buried inside of this woman, and he wasn’t sure how much longer he could wait to feel her velvet heat surrounding him again. Even after the evil trick his mind played on him in the shower that morning, he was still brutally aroused and in desperate need of burying his cock inside of her.
“Where’s Luke?” she asked, pulling back and looking at him.
“At the club.” Cole watched her closely, wondering what she was getting at. As far as he was concerned, there were two ways this could go.
“I was thinking we could surprise him,” she smiled, and Cole’s cock made sure she felt exactly what that idea did to him.
That was the second way, and he loved the idea.
“Right now?” He was all for taking her to the club, he just wasn’t sure whether she’d be able to walk after they were finished with her. The thought made him smile.
“I can’t think of a better time,” she said, but when he moved, Sierra made no effort to get off of him.
Instead, Cole found himself flat on his back on the couch, Sierra straddling his hips and her mouth fused with his, her pussy grinding down along the ridge of his erection. She was so damn sweet, so damn responsive, he wasn’t sure they were going to make it out of the house if she kept this up.
When she took his hand, easing it between their bodies, Cole felt the smooth, hairless lips of her cunt, and he damn near jolted up off of the couch. She was naked beneath that little frilly skirt, and he’d be damned if he didn’t wish his jeans would dissolve so he could slide right up inside of her.
“I need you, Cole,” she said between kisses.
“I’m here, baby. Whatever you need.” Cole would never be able to deny Sierra anything. “But if we go now,” he told her when she began trailing kisses down his neck, “we have a chance at surprising Luke.” He was pretty sure he was torturing himself at this point because, in three or four seconds, he could easily be inside of this woman.
Sierra leaned up on her forearms, smiling down on him. “Ok, but you have to do one thing for me.”
The seductive tone of her voice told Cole she had only one thing on her mind. Not that he could blame her because it had been a damn long time.
“Anything, you know that,” he told her as he sat up, still holding her close.
“I want you to tease me in the car.”
Holy fuck!
~~*~~
Sierra couldn’t believe what she said to Cole a few minutes ago while they had been making out like teenagers on their couch, and she was surprised either of them had been able to make it out of the house afterward. She was so damn horny, she didn’t know what to do with herself, and she only hoped that surprising Luke would help to alleviate that growing ache that hadn’t been satisfied in nearly two months.
The idea had come to her that morning while she was at her mother’s house, both of them cooing over Hannah. It had been a tough decision to leave her, but Sierra knew there was no one she trusted more than her mother, besides Cole and Luke, to watch Hannah while she was gone for a couple of hours.
Veronica had gone so far as to turn one of her extra bedrooms into a nursery, so Sierra knew how much her mother was looking forward to having Hannah all to herself for a little while.
“Please tell me you are still naked underneath that skirt.” Cole’s voice was dark and rich and laced with more than a little hunger as he drove down one of the back roads that would lead to the club in downtown Dallas. He was taking the long way apparently.
“What do you think?” She’d been prepared for this since she woke up that morning.
Her hormones were totally on the fritz, and she hadn’t been able to do what she intended when the three of them were still in bed that morning because Hannah woke up, letting them all know she was clearly ready for breakfast. Now... well, now they had some time and Sierra was so overcome with lust, she could barely breathe past the ache that filled her.
Sierra didn’t have to do anything besides sit back and relax because Cole was obviously just as eager as she was. His big, warm hand drifted up her thigh, lifting her skirt as he went along. He kept his eyes on the road, but he was definitely focused on her.
When his fingertips teased the inside of her thigh, Sierra instinctively pushed her legs farther apart, wanting to encourage him to continue. He didn’t disappoint.
“Are you wet already, Sierra?” Cole’s deep rumble filled the interior of the car.
“So wet,” she assured him. She was pretty sure he didn’t understand how much she needed both of them right then. “Touch me, Cole.”
Sliding his hand farther up her leg, Cole teased her clit with one long finger, rubbing circles over the swollen nub. God, she needed to be fucked. None of the sweet lovemaking they’d insisted on for far too long because of her “delicate condition”. Their words, not hers. She wanted down and dirty, up against the wall, take what you want fucking. She smiled inwardly, realizing she probably sounded a lot like Sam at the moment.
Yes, maybe she sounded like a total freak, but Sierra didn’t care. They hadn’t had sex in so long, and now she wanted to do nothing except spend the next two hours with her men buried to the hilt inside of her.
Cole continued to tease her slowly, never penetrating her fully, but using his finger to torture her clit. In his defense, she had asked to be teased; she just didn’t realize it was going to be so brutal. Sierra wanted to come. She wanted to ride his fingers until her body came apart at the seams.
A few minutes later, they were pulling into the underground garage of the club, and she sighed. She was ready to leap out of the car and run inside at that point, leaving Cole to catch up with her.
She didn’t.
Sierra waited patiently for Cole to come around and open her door for her. She’d learned the hard way that both Luke and Cole were adamant about opening doors for her. They insisted, and the couple of times she had done so herself, they had punished her. Exquisitely.
By the time they reached the second floor of the club, noticing that Luke wasn’t downstairs, Sierra was shaking with need. Even her clothes were causing her pain as they brushed against her hypersensitive skin. Based on the smirk on Cole’s beautiful face, he knew it too.
Cole rapped his knuckles on the closed door to Luke’s office and waited for him to answer. When he did, Sierra was surprised she didn’t plow over Cole’s much larger body in an attempt to get inside. The second they were over the threshold though, she stopped suddenly, her jaw nearly dropping to the floor.
Luke’s magnificent body was sitting on the couch in his office, completely naked, his cock in his hand. The gleam in his eye said he knew she was coming, and he was prepared.
“You texted him,” Sierra said, glaring at Cole accusingly.
Cole shook his head and chuckled.
“Come here,” Luke demanded and his tone was rough and insistent, not an ounce of the patient man she’d gotten familiar with lately. The sound alone made her pussy throb in anticipation. It had been too long.
For most of her pregnancy, Cole and Luke had treated her like she was made of glass. Never wanting to push her too far, never wanting to let go completely – even when she begged. Well, they didn’t have any excuses now.
She heard the door lock engage as she moved across the room toward Luke. There was no hesitation in her movements.
She needed this more than she needed air.
