Chapter Eleven
Jackson
"I'm in."
They were the first words out of Gabrielle's mouth when she walked into the lounge, but they were all that I needed to hear. I jumped to my feet and rushed towards her, scooping her up in my arms and spinning around before closing my mouth over hers in a deep kiss. I lowered her to her feet and took a step back so that I could look into her face.
"Really?" I asked.
She nodded. My brothers had gotten to their feet and come over to us, each of them sweeping her up into a hug in turn.
"I am," she said. "I thought about it and I really want to do this."
"Let's get started," Talon said with a playful growl. He scooped Gabrielle up off her feet and started carrying her toward the door to the lounge, but she tapped his shoulder until he put her down.
"I think there are a few things that we need to talk about before we get started," she said.
I walked up to her and leaned down to kiss her along the side of her neck.
"But I don't want to talk," I said.
She laughed.
"I know," she said. "But we need to. There's some things that we need to figure out before all of us can start."
"She's right," Lucas said. "As much as I don't want her to be. Let's go into our wing so that we can talk about it."
"Your wing?" Gabrielle asked. "I thought that you didn't want to talk about private things there because there could be people listening."
"That's true," Lucas said. "But that was before. It's alright if people hear about it now. They'll know soon enough, anyway."
Gabrielle looked slightly confused but she fell into step behind Lucas and Talon. Aiden and I followed behind her and soon we were in the lounge of the Griffin wing. My chest was swelling with excitement. I have been hoping for days that she would come back and tell us that this was what she wanted, but every day there had been a little bit of doubt in the back of my mind. The longer that we had to wait, the more that I began to worry that she would never agree to it. Now that she was here, I could barely contain my happiness.
We sat down in the lounge and Gabrielle looked at Lucas.
"What do you mean that you don't care if people hear about it now?" she asked. "I thought that you didn't want people to know."
"I didn't want them to know until we knew that you were on board," he said. "If you had decided that this wasn't for you, we would have had to look for someone else, and frankly that could have taken a very long time. There's no one else that any of us are interested in. But if anyone had heard us talking about it, it could have caused a lot of headaches for us. Now, though, it doesn't matter who hears about it."
"That's something that I wanted to ask you about," Gabrielle said. "How are we going to handle this?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"People are going to see us in public" she said. "If I spend any time around here or anything, they're going to see me. They're going to see me with the four of you. How are we going to explain that?"
"We're not," I said.
"What do you mean we're not? There has to be some sort of explanation. People are going to wonder who I am and why I'm around all of you. And once I get pregnant, they're going to notice that too. They're going to have questions."
"Just because people have questions doesn't mean that they need to have answers," Aiden said. "A lot of the people around here have already met you. They know your name. Who's to say that they need to know anything else? At events or when you're around here, we'll introduce you to people by name. There's no need to give any more explanation as to who you are or your relationship to us. If anybody needs to know, then they'll know. But very few people need to know."
"And when the baby is born?" she asked.
"We just go about our lives," I said. "Of course people are going to notice that we have a baby with us, but again, that's really all they need to know. Other people don't have any claim over us or any right to know about our lives. They know what we tell them about us and what we let them know. If people figure out what's going on, and they will definitely figure out what's going on, that's fine. I'm not ashamed of it and I'm not going to be. If they have questions then they're free to ask them. Whether or not I answer them is up to me at that time."
"And that's going to work?"
"Why wouldn't it?" Talon asked. "Frankly we are far too wealthy and powerful to care about what anybody thinks. For the most part, nobody in this Club, or anywhere else for that matter, has the balls to question us about anything. And even if they do, what they think doesn't matter. We're not doing anything illegal. We're not doing anything that could hurt anybody else. There are plenty of children who are born out of wedlock these days. It doesn't have the same stigma that it used to. And even in those families where it does still have the stigma, they're just going to have to deal with it. Our father stipulated that he wanted an heir in place, and that's what we're doing. It's our right to decide how many children are in our family and how we handle distributing our inheritance. It's nobody else's business. I don't care what anybody in this Club, or anybody outside of it, thinks about me or who I choose to spend time with."
Gabrielle looked stunned. I remembered how she had talked about her family and I knew that making this decision was a tremendous step for her.
"I can't imagine ever being that complacent," she said. "I've always cared what people thought about me. I thought that was just what life was."
"Not anymore," Aiden said. "Your life is yours. And we're going to make sure that it's better than you could ever have imagined."
Gabrielle smiled, a glint of mischief in her eyes. She stood up and looked at each of us.
"Then maybe you should show me what that life could be," she said.
Without another word, she turned and walked out of the lounge, turning toward the bedrooms. I looked at my brothers and the four of us jumped to our feet, quickly following her.
Gabrielle
I rushed toward the bedroom that I had slept in after the Valentine's Day Gala and kicked off my shoes and socks, stripping out of my jacket and tossing it aside. I had only been standing in the room for a few moments when the four brothers appeared at the door. They stopped there, staring in at me, as if waiting for me to invite them in. I stared at them with a smile on my lip, silently offering myself to them. Talon was the first to step forward across the room to me. He crossed it in long strides and scooped me up with one arm around my waist, carrying me back the few feet and up the steps onto the platform where the bed was sitting. He pressed me back onto the bed with an intense crushing kiss and I wrapped my arms around his neck to hold him there. After a few seconds, he straightened and pulled his shirt off, reaching down to pull mine away as well before stretching across me again.
The warm, smooth skin of his chest molded against my breasts and touched my stomach, and I held him closer, wanting as much of the feeling of his body as I could have. As our mouths played almost frantically across each other, I felt the mattress beside me dip down slightly and realized that one of the other brothers had climbed onto the bed with us. I looked over and saw Jackson. I took one hand from Talons back and ran my hand along Jackson's chest where he knelt beside me. I grabbed a handful of his shirt and nudged it up, impatient with the fabric, wanting him to be bare. He complied with the pressure of my hand, grabbing onto his shirt and pulling it off so he could toss it aside. He took my hand and rested it to the middle of his chest so I could feel his heart pounding through his skin. I ran it down onto his belly to feel the chiseled muscles there. I could feel both men on me and it was like indulging myself in the layers of a sinfully decadent dessert. Talon pulled his mouth away from mine and began kissing his way down my body until he had backed his way off of the side of the bed and stood. I lifted up onto my elbows so that I could watch him as he kicked off his shoes and unbuckled his belt. Before he took his pants off, he headed back toward the door so that he could close it and lock it. I used the opportunity to slide up into a sitting position and turned so that I mirrored Jackson's kneeling position on the mattress. Our bodies just brushed against one another and he reached around behind my back to release my bra. It dropped away from me and my nipples touched his skin.
I heard Jackson draw in a breath as I leaned forward to touch my lips to his neck and continue to run my fingers down his chest and belly. Finally he tucked one finger beneath my chin and lifted my face to his, lowering his mouth to cover mine and coaxing my lips to part with his tongue. I opened my mouth and felt his tongue slip between my lips and against mine. We kissed more languidly than I had kissed Talon, exploring a different feeling. Talon climbed back onto the bed behind me and I felt him wrap his arms around my waist, so that he could guide me back to lean against him, taking possession of me.
I leaned back against him luxuriously, enjoying the feeling of him surrounding me. I nestled my hips back into him and he groaned slightly as I felt his erection nudging against me, even through my pants. He tucked his hips forward to press it against me harder and Talon dropped his mouth to the curve of my neck and shoulder, the tip of his tongue flicking across my skin. One of his hands closed over my breasts, filling his palm as he kneaded the sensitive flesh gently but insistently. Aiden came to the side of the bed and reached between Jackson and me to take hold of the waistband of my pants and ease them down over my hips. Talon used his arm to support me as I rose up off of my knees so that Aiden could remove my pants. I had worn nothing under them, so now I was fully bare, fully open and vulnerable to them. It was exactly the way that I wanted to be, and I gave myself over to it completely.
One of Talon’s hands slipped around my hip to dip between my thighs and he eased them apart so that he could finally touch me. The sensation of his fingers slipping through my folds brought a gasp from my lips and Aiden met it with a kiss. My body was hot and wet, and Talon’s fingers slid easily across me as I looked up to meet Jackson's eyes. He watched Talon touch me for several long seconds before he too climbed off of the bed to finish undressing. My eyes trailed down his body and I whimpered slightly when I saw him wrap his hand around his shaft and begin to stroke himself. I parted my thighs slightly further at the sight and felt Talon twitch behind me. He kissed along the side of my neck and I felt his mouth come to my ear.
"Do you want him?" he asked.
I nodded, but I also arched my back so that I could press my hips harder against him, making sure that the connection between us was not broken and he understood that I wanted him just as much.
"Me too?" he asked.
I nodded.
Aiden leaned forward and ducked his mouth down to close it over one of my breasts, sucking the nipple into his teeth and then tracing it with his tongue. He kissed up the front of my throat and then looked me in the eye.
"And me?" he asked.
I nodded, feeling my breath catch in my throat and my heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to explode from my chest.
Finally Lucas climbed up onto the platform with us. He had already undressed and his hand was grasping his cock like Jackson's.
"How about me?" he asked.
"Yes," I breathed. "I want all of you. Now."
I turned over my shoulder to kiss Talon, reaching to my side to grip Aiden's thigh. Talon kissed me back passionately. When he ended the kiss, he stroked his hand up through my hair to grip it then pushed me forwards so that I caught myself on Jackson's hips. His erection stood thick and mouth-watering away from his body and I immediately indulged myself by licking along its length from the base to the engorged tip. Finally I opened my mouth and took him in completely, settling him against my tongue and closing my lips around his shaft. In that moment, Talon pulled my hips back and buried himself inside me in one hard thrust. I cried out, but didn't release Jackson. I didn't want to lose even a moment of the decadence of cradling both of them within me. We fell into a perfect rhythm, Talon's thrusts and the strong, controlling pressure of his hand on the back of my head leading me along Jackson's length until the room filled with the moans of both men.
After a few incredible moments, Talon stopped and I felt him withdraw from my body and his hand slide out of my hair. Jackson ran his fingertips down my neck and onto my jaw, carefully easing my mouth away from him. He lifted my chin and leaned down to kiss me. Both men climbed off of the bed, but I had only seconds to feel alone before Aiden and Lucas took their places. Aiden guided me up off of my hands and pulled me up against him for a long kiss before he guided me back to stretch across the bed. Lucas was sitting on the edge and I laid down with my head on his thigh.
When I was on my back, Aiden hovered over me for a moment and then rested down over me, his body stretching to touch all of mine. He ran his hands down my thighs to part my legs and I felt him slip into me. He stayed there for a moment, slowing our pace and creating a peaceful, calm moment between us as he stared down into my eyes. He ducked his head to kiss me softly, running his palms over my arms until he reached my hands, and then intertwined our fingers. His mouth traveled to my neck as his hips began to move. The gradual, slow pace left me gasping and I arched against him, desperate for him to reach the pressure building inside of me. Instead, he withdrew from me and changed his position so that he lay between my legs. Lucas rested his hand to my cheek and used it to turn my head so that I could run my mouth along his long cock. As soon as I took him into my mouth, I felt Aiden's tongue on my tight, hypersensitive bundle of nerves. I completely relinquished myself to the feeling and let go of all control.
I opened my eyes and saw that Talon had walked up to the side of the bed and was watching us. His eyes locked on Aiden nurturing me with his tongue, then turned to my mouth running along Lucas. They turned to mine and I stared into them. Arousal had made their shade darker and stormy. He reached down and took one of my hands away from Aiden, bringing it over to wrap it around his own hard erection so that I could mimic the movement of my mouth on him.
Aiden drew my taught, swollen bud into his mouth and gave it a hard suck, eliciting a short scream from my throat. He backed away slightly and I bent my knees higher, spreading my thighs further so that only the tips of my toes touched the mattress on either side of me. Lucas took the invitation, slipping out from under my head and flipping over so that he rose over me. He planted a hand on either side of me and paused just long enough to kiss me before sliding deep inside. My hand fell away from Talon's erection and Lucas gathered me up against him, rearing back until he sat on his knees with me straddling him. He wrapped his arms tightly around my hips and ribs so that my breasts rose and fell against his chest as I rocked in his lap.
The position brought us face-to-face and I stared into his eyes, feeling almost hypnotized by their depth. I leaned forward and rested my forehead against his. I could feel sweat beading on my skin and a few moments later someone licked up my spine. I looked over my shoulder and saw Jackson behind me. I arched my back to lean toward him and licked my tongue across his shoulder, following it with the playful nip of my teeth. I rode Lucas harder, bringing him deeper inside me until I felt like I couldn't hold any more. I stopped and pressed down on his shoulders to still his movements.
I climbed off of his lap and turned to Jackson, using one finger to beckon him closer. Lucas moved out of the way and Jackson took his place. I pressed my hands to his chest to guide him on his back with his head rested on the pillows. I straddled his chest on my knees and took both of his wrists, bringing my breasts directly over his face. He lifted his head to suck each of them, briefly grazing his teeth across my nipples. I took one of his hands and wrapped it around the post above him, closing down on his fingers to ensure he knew I didn't want him to move it. I repeated this on the other side so that both of his hands gripped the posts. I ducked my head and gave him a hard kiss, biting his bottom lip before sliding backwards on his body so that he could feel the heat and wetness of my core on his cock and the brush of my breasts along his chest and belly.
When I got to his hips, I lifted up and grasped the base of his erection so I could tease the tip between my thighs. It slipped easily through my slippery fluids, but I kept my hips high enough to stop him from entering me. I delighted in the deliciously tortured look in Jackson's eyes and the unchained groans that poured from him as I used the head to stroke myself. I savored the feeling of his body with nothing between us. I reached with my other hand to grasp Aiden's wrist and lead him up to the side of the bed. He kissed me and then I dipped my head to take him into my mouth. Jackson grunted, the sound telling me that watching me suck Aiden deeper into my mouth pushed him even closer to the edge of his control. I could hear the bed squeak and the wood groan as Jackson strained against the posts, obviously wanting to touch me, but also showing incredible control.
Aiden's hand came to the back of my head, gathering my hair out of the way so that he could guide me into the rhythm that he desired. I used my grip on Jackson's cock to glide it against me at the same speed, tilting back enough so that I knew Aiden could watch. Soon I heard him let out a growl and felt him release into my mouth. I immediately slowed my pace and fully enjoyed sucking the hot, saltiness that streamed from the tip. I swallowed happily, smiling as Aiden fought to steady his breath and stay on his feet. I felt Jackson grab my hips. I turned to look at him and saw the intensity in his eyes.
"I want to be inside you. Now."
I released his cock and gasped as he impaled me. Jackson's sounds were unchained and wild as he pounded into me harder and faster until I felt him pulse powerfully, roaring as he spilled into my body. The sensation of him filling me was enough to push me to the very edge and send me toppling over. I cried out as my body gripped him, milking him to draw him fully into me until the tight tremors of my walls made me collapse forward, shuddering and gasping for breath, into his arms.
