Seven Roses: Reverse Harem Romance Page 20

  “Thank you for your service.” Samantha reached for her glass and sipped her wine. “That’s really heavy.”

  “Blue?” I turned to our local bartender.

  “I don’t have a tragedy to lay out for you. Life has actually been pretty good for me. I don’t say that to be disrespectful to anyone here. All of my brothers and sisters left Granite Falls as soon as they could. I was the youngest kid and after my father passed, I felt like I needed to be there for my mother. Life has just become a cycle now. If the itch comes, I find what I need, I just don’t get it in Granite Falls. I won’t be the guy who cuddles you after I’m done or fixes you breakfast the next morning—but I’ll make sure you are always satisfied.” He chuckled. “That is about all I have to offer.”

  “That isn’t true.” I shook my head. “He’s cocky, but he really is a nice guy. He fills a certain dynamic here, because we don’t want you to just be taken care of, we want you to be satisfied in every way.”

  “Which I could do.” Axe folded his arms and looked around the room. “With or without everyone in the room. I’m just not really looking for love or a relationship. I don’t know what side of the law I’ll end up on when I wake up in the morning. It doesn’t seem fair to drag someone in that. You’re beautiful, Samantha. I’d love to know I could come home to you and never have to worry about you being left alone if I fuck up like I always do.”

  “You will.” Sheriff James narrowed his eyes at Axe. “I’m practically salivating at the idea.”

  “Come on, Jesse.” Steve let out a sigh. “Can’t we put this behind us? Axe has never hurt anyone. So what if he’s a bit wild—so what if he breaks a law selling something that is practically legal at this point. You weren’t always this much of an asshole. We both had to deal with Dad’s bullshit, but neither of us had to become him.”

  “I didn’t hate Dad like you did.” Jesse tightened his jaw and the brotherly turmoil seemed evident in his eyes. “I was proud to pick up his badge—but that decision cost me the women I loved.”

  “She left you just like Mom left him. The cycle can end here. Samantha is what we both need.” Steve tried to calm his brother and Jesse did seem to relax.

  “I know she is.” Jesse looked to Samantha. “I get it, you’re probably wondering what the fuck is wrong with us to even consider this or offer it to you. Granite Falls needs a sheriff and I’m the one who chose to wear that uniform. My divorce was a bit of a mess. I don’t know that I could ever go through that again. I do need someone though, someone to make it all worth it at the end of the day when it feels like I’m just churning bullshit to make more bullshit.”

  “He does.” Steve shook his head and sighed. “And so do I. We’ve both been trying to keep the peace here in Granite Falls. He keeps people on the straight and narrow—I try to keep good people like Axe away from his old-fashioned beliefs. I left town when I was old enough, even played college football for a while until I blew out my knee. I didn’t expect my older brother to turn into my father while I was gone. I feel like I need to stick around now just to keep him from going too far down that dark path. I truly believe you could be an answer to our prayers. You could bring a bit of peace, give the seven of us a purpose outside of what we deal with on a daily basis, and be cared for by all of us.”

  “Wow...” Samantha seemed to be contemplating what she had heard.

  “As for me...” I let out a sigh and picked up my drink. “I’m just too busy to find someone. You’ve noticed there aren’t many women around here. That is our curse, but it is also a gift. It gives us a chance to come together and put aside our differences to love one very special woman that could make us all happy.”

  Chapter 7: Samantha

  Hearing the stories of all the men in Granite Falls left me with a bit of confusion. They all seemed to be sweet guys with a number of flaws, but collectively they had managed to find focus with me. There was something about being there with them that warmed my heart more than I had ever really felt before. The world outside of Granite Falls was cruel. Finding a man amongst the liars and little boys trying to prove themselves was a bit exhausting. I had never thought about finding happiness with more than one man. I wasn’t sure how I could take care of seven guys who would all want a turn with me—especially since I was still a virgin. I felt like I should be honest with them. If they were considering the arrangement laid out and I was becoming more open to it, then they needed to know the truth as well. I wasn’t some perfect angel who rolled into town. I was a bit a mess myself.

  “If someone would have told me I was going to come to Granite Falls and end up sitting at this table with the seven of you, I would have thought they were crazy. If they told me I would receive this kind of proposal, I would have thought I was dreaming. I feel like you are offering me something that could be amazing, but none of you really know me...” I picked up my wine glass and took a drink.

  “So tell us.” Mayor Danvers leaned forward.

  “The first thing you need to know is that—I’m a virgin.” I watched a collective shock erupt around the room for a moment.

  “Now the rest of you understand why I couldn’t get laid.” Axe laughed

  “There’s no shame in innocence.” Luther smiled warmly and motioned for me to continue.

  “I’ve been hurt before. I fell for someone that I thought I could trust and he lied to me. Since then I haven’t had the best luck with guys. I’m not sure I can be the girl you’re looking for.” I shook my head back and forth. “I’m not sure I could be lucky enough to hit the jackpot with seven guys all at once when I can’t even find one decent guy.”

  “Give us a chance.” Mayor Danvers’ tone was a little firmer than it had been before. “Give this town a chance. Let us show you that you can hit the jackpot.”

  “I’m considering it...” It was all I could say without buying in or running for the door.

  My consideration seemed to bring a bit of hope to the crowd. They started serving dinner and took turns making sure my drink was always topped off and I barely even lifted my fork to eat. It was like having an entire restaurant staff making sure I didn’t even have to raise a finger if I wanted something. I switched to water instead of wine because I wasn’t sure my decision should come with the influence of alcohol. It was hard to agree to such a strange arrangement, but as the evening continued, I found it harder to just say no. When dinner was over, we went to the living room and talked a little more, all of them listening to me and paying attention to my every word. Even when I rambled, they were intently focused on every word. I thought about my life and I questioned what direction I was truly headed. College was over and I had really only went because it was expected. I wasn’t chasing a dream or looking forward to slaving away just to keep food on the table. Life in Granite Falls would be a bit old-fashioned, but I made peace with my decision. It seemed like the most incredible offer I would ever get and being taken care of by seven extremely hot men wasn’t one I could turn down.

  “Okay...” I stood up and Mayor Danvers immediately stood to assist me.

  “What do you need? You can stay seated, we’ll get it for you.” He had a smile on his face as he approached.

  “I’ve made a decision.” I looked around the group that had instantly turned all of their attention to me. “I do want to take you up on this offer. I want to stay in Granite Falls.”

  “Yes!” Axe grinned from ear to ear.

  “That’s wonderful news.” Luther let out what sounded like a pent up sigh of relief. “You are a gift from heaven.”

  “I have some things I need to deal with and I’ll have to explain this to my family—well, not all of it.” I raised my eyebrows and smiled. “But this offer is incredible and I can’t imagine turning it down.”

  “We are very happy you chose not to run away from it.” Steve nodded. “We will have to do some remodeling work on this house, but it should be able to accommodate all of us.”

  “I just need a bed—and some time wit
h you.” Blue’s eyes flickered and I could see desire behind them.

  “Nothing happens in the bedroom until Samantha is ready.” Mayor Danvers shot Blue a look that could only be described as a cold stare.

  “I don’t think that would be very fair.” I looked over at Mayor Danvers and his gaze calmed. “If you’re going to take care of me, then I feel like it should be my job to take care of you—all of you.”

  “You’re still a virgin.” Luther tilted his head. “Are you sure you want to commit to that so quickly? We want your companionship and we want to take care of you. Nothing should happen until you’re ready.”

  “If I’m going to live here with you, I want to be connected to all of you in a way that binds us together. One thing I’ve noticed is that while all of you are agreeing to this arrangement, there are still some issues that need to be worked out. If we are going to be a family we have to all trust each other—we have to all agree that we won’t do anything to hurt any member of our family. If you can all agree to that, then I am ready to show you how happy I am to be chosen by you.” I looked to Sheriff James. “Jesse, that starts with you. You have to look past the issues you have with Axe. You have to learn to love him like you love your own brother.”

  “That...” He looked at Axe and I could see him struggling with it. “That is a lot to ask.”

  “Come on, Jesse.” Steve let out a sigh of anger. “This needs to end.”

  “I’ll make it worth your trouble. If you agree to put your differences with Axe aside, you will be the first one to have me.” I leaned close to his ear so the rest couldn’t hear. “Don’t forget that I’m a virgin.”

  “Damn...” Axe exhaled sharply. “If he can’t get over it, kick him out—if he isn’t willing put this to rest for that, he doesn’t deserve to be here.”

  “This has to be his decision.” I looked back to Jesse. “What do you say, is that worth burying the hatchet?” I leaned back towards his ear so I could whisper. “You can be the first man to bury a cock in me if you say yes.”

  “I don’t even have to think about it.” Jesse took my hand. “Consider us best friends.”

  “I wouldn’t go that far.” Axe practically growled his response.

  “Well, Samantha.” Mayor Danvers walked over to me and put his hand on my shoulder. “I believe you’re going to be a great influence on this town. You already settled a lifelong beef in a matter of minutes.”

  “I’m ready to show you just how settled it can be.” Jesse pulled me close and pressed his lips to mine.

  Jesse’s lips were like fire. They ignited something inside of me that I had never felt before in my life. I felt drawn to him, there in the moment, while everything around me formed a cascade of excitement. His tongue ran between my lips and I tasted a hunger that was almost primal. He was going to be my first—a reward for making the arrangement work. The rest of the men seemed to be okay with the arrangement. None of them voiced a concern about him taking my virginity. The kiss kept me locked in the magic of what we were doing and I let my inhibitions go. I could feel my pussy getting wet with him on my lips and I knew I was ready for the hard cock I could feel pressed against my abdomen. It was already throbbing with lust. I could count the number of times I had been kissed on one hand and none of them even compared to the passion I felt from Jesse. The kiss lingered for what felt like an eternity with us trapped in that fire before it finally broke. I looked into his dark colored eyes and I could see the storm of desire brewing. I was feeling it inside of my body as well and I needed to feel more.

  “The upstairs bedroom at the end of the hall should be good to go. I worked on getting it cleaned up for Samantha.” Mayor Danvers pointed towards the stairs.

  Jesse squeezed my hand tighter and started walking towards the stairs. I took one last look back at the other six men who were all smiling, seemingly content with the decision for Jesse to have me first. Jesse walked up the stairs like a man possessed. When we got to the top of the stairs, he turned around and locked his hands around my waist, pulling me in for another kiss. The same fireworks exploded in my head and I could feel my pussy getting even wetter.

  It was really happening. I was actually going to lose my virginity.

  His lips were like fire once more and his tongue was the flickering flame scorching my mouth with his passion. He ran his hands up my back and started removing the right shoulder strap of my dress. His fire soaked kiss moved from my lips to my neck and shivers shot down my spine. He kissed the spot where the strap had been and left a trail of saliva as his tongue moved slowly back towards my neck. I could feel his cock once again throbbing in his pants, a mass of desire that wanted to be the first one inside my virgin pussy. He let his lips move up my neck with light kisses before biting down on my earlobe and kissing it.

  “I can’t believe I get to be the first man to have you.” His hands move from my waist to my breasts and started squeezing them. “I’m going to make you cum until you’re floating on a cloud.”

  “What are you waiting for?” I leaned against his neck and kissed his ear. My hand moved down to his belt and started stroking his cock through his pants.

  “I have a horny little virgin on my hands, huh?” He squeezed my breasts and whispered into my ear again, followed by a kiss on the earlobe.

  “I’ve been waiting a long time to feel one of these inside of me.” I squeezed his dick a little harder and stroked it faster.

  He reached up from my breast and pulled the other strap off of my shoulder while we took a few more steps towards the bedroom. His hands quickly started tugging the dress down my arms and then it was around my waist, leaving my chest exposed except for my bra. He squeezed my breasts through the silk and then reached around behind me, twisting the snaps loose with one flick of his wrist. He pulled it forward and I dropped my arms so that it could fall to the floor. A thumb moved to my right nipple and started to rub it in a circle while his tongue seemed to be moving everywhere at once. The other hand grasped the other breast and made a circle around that nipple as well. He finally settled back on my crimson lipstick and forced my lips apart so he could kiss me again and I felt both nipples getting hard against his fingers. I fumbled with his belt until I managed to get it unfastened and then started to work on the button holding up his pants. When they were finally loose, I pushed a hand into his boxers and felt a hard cock for the first time in my life. It seemed to engorge even more with my hand started to stroke the shaft lightly while he kissed me. After several motions up and down his enormous length, he pulled away and started pushing my dress down my hips.

  “You’re so beautiful.” His words were followed by a gasp of excitement when my dress hit the floor and he put a hand between my legs. “And so wet that you’ve soaked your panties.”

  “I want you inside of me.” I started to grind against his hand and a finger pressed against the fabric of my panties, slightly penetrating the exterior of my labia.

  Our slow walk to the bedroom finally ended when we got to the door. His pants had started to slide down his thighs so I pushed them further and felt him kicking off his shoes. He took a step into the bedroom and stepped out of his pants once they were around his ankles. He gripped my panties in his hand and instead of pushing them down, he simply twisted the fabric and tore them at the waistband. They fell down the other leg and for the first time in my life, I was naked in front of a man. He took a step back and stared at me, biting down on his lip as lust roared in his eyes. He removed his socks with his feet and then walked to me wearing nothing but his boxer shorts. If I had been strong enough to tear them, I would have, but all I could do was push them down his thighs and expose his cock. It was enormous, extending out from his muscled body like a torpedo searching for satisfaction. He reached behind my right thigh and lifted my leg, pushing the glans against my pussy.

  “Your pussy is going to feel incredible on my cock.” He pushed his cock against my tightness a little harder.

  “Yes...” I grimaced w
hen I felt the head pushing into the entrance of my pussy. “I’m ready for you.”

  My body was begging for him and my pussy was practically saturated with lust, but my emotions were in a bit of turmoil. I knew he was going to hurt me. There was no way his enormous cock could get inside of me without wrecking me. My pussy was so tight that I wasn’t even able to use tampons and when I masturbated, I could barely get a finger into the entrance. He rubbed his glans against my labia and teased my clitoris several times before he finally pushed me back onto the bed. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the mattress barely moved when he climbed between my thighs. His body was incredible, like something out of a magazine. His shoulders and chest looked like they contained enough power to throw me around the room with little effort, yet he was gentle when he lifted my legs and positioned his cock against my wetness. His abdominal muscles twitched slightly when he pushed his cock forward and entered the tight opening of my pussy. The head was still visible against my labia but it felt like I was being stretched apart at the hips. He pulled back and pushed a little harder, sinking the glans into my pussy and causing me to roll forward in surprise.

  “Oh God...” My face twisted with concern and reflected every bit of the agony I felt from being penetrated.

  “It will start to feel good soon.” He reached a hand down and started rubbing my clitoris.

  “That feels good!” My breathing got a little faster as my body was overcome with pleasure.

  “I can tell.” He pulled his dick back and pushed it a little further into my pussy. “You’re getting even wetter.”

  The magic of his finger rubbing my clitoris made the process of having my pussy stretched to accommodate his girth a little easier. He started pushing deeper and then I felt his glans against my hymen. He pushed against it even harder and I felt it tear. The sting of having the torn flesh stretched interrupted the pleasure I was feeling from having my clit stimulated, but after a couple of seconds, the excitement returned. He pulled back again and started pushing, sliding past the spot where my hymen had been and stretching me even more. I was fairly certain his finger was going to make me cum before he ever finished getting his dick inside of me, but I was so overwhelmed with the feeling that I didn’t care. The hand that wasn’t on my clitoris moved up my body and squeezed my breasts. I pulled it up even further after he rubbed my nipple and let it rest against my lips. I opened them slightly and extended my tongue licking around the top of it and then pulled it into my mouth. His cock seemed to throb a little more as I rotated my tongue around his finger.
