The Masters Brothers - Nowhere to Hide (Completed)

8. Trouble Bound

POV August
I shook as I put my hand in his, jumping slightly as his fingers closed around mine tightly and he pulled me to him, bowing his head to whisper "you are in so much trouble"
I shivered as his breathe caressed my neck before I look up at him, his eyes easily capturing mine and I gulp at the heat in them.
"I'm sor..." his finger on my lips stops my words.
"Don't lie, you ran, you're not sorry you ran, just that you got caught" he growled.
I looked down at my hand in his, unable to disagree.

POV Kade
The sound of someone approaching brought us back to where we were, Kier was first to react, shooting a glance at Knox and August before tossing me the car keys and moving off to run interference.
Knox looked at me before sweeping August over his shoulder, shushing her as she went to complain, I hid my smile and led the way back to the car, we had passed undetected but I would still run a check for cameras once we were in the car and erase any footage.
Knox had deposited August on the back seat and was currently handcuffing her much to her disagreement but she soon quieted when he suggested tranqing her.
He stood sentinel by her door till Kier returned then got in the front allowing Kier to take the back with August.
There was silence in the car as we left the area and until we reached home.
"Unlock these" she asked raising her cuffed wrists to us.
"No" Knox replied striding off towards the house.
She looked at us "please"
"He has the key" I tell her wondering what she'll do next and keen to see how far we could push her to react, we all had keys but she didn't know that.
"Damn, damn damn" she muttered moving towards the house as we trail behind her smiling.
"Knox, please" she shouts to his retreating back as he disappears into the study.
I watch her straighten her spine and give herself a mental pep talk before pushing through the study door.
I look at Kier "collar or punishment?" I ask.
He smiles, "I'd say collar wouldn't you, I bet that's what Knox is getting out now"
"You don't think he wants to punish her"
"Of course he does but you see how he tempers his reactions to her, he's in for the long game, he wants to keep her, he will punish her but slowly and gently and she will want it, from him and us"
He claps my shoulder as I mull over his words "come on, let join them, this should be an interesting discussion."

POV Knox
I had retrieved the leather case from the desk draw and was sitting waiting when she finally pushed through the door.
"Knox please" she ground, raising her wrists again.
My brothers came in behind her and sat watching, Kier had locked the door once they were in but I don't think August had noticed or heard them her attention solely on me.
She stood shaking in front of the desk, her cheeks flushed with annoyance and both fear and excitement.
I got up and rounded the desk, stepping into her personal space and making her eyes widen as she watched me frozen now in place, but she didn't retreat.
"You were a bad girl, running from us" I growled.
She lifted her head defiantly but remained silent.
I ran a finger gently down her cheek, then down her throat, pausing just above her breast. Her breathing caught and goosebumps radiated out from where my finger rested.
"Kneel" I growled at her and watched in awe as her body instantly followed my command, a dazed look in her eyes as she complied.
Kier and Kade leant forward in their seats, transfixed by the beauty of her kneeling figure.
I pulled the key from my pocket and held it between my fingers, her eyes focused on the movement and I could see reality returning for her, she flushed at her knelt position but didn't move anything except her eyes on the key.
"Do you want the cuffs off?" I ask her softly.
"Yes sir" she whispers.
"I want to let you free but I don't trust you not to run from us" I tell her watching her reaction closely.
"But..."
"I have a deal for you" I continue as if she hasn't spoken.
"I will remove the cuffs if you wear a tracker"
"What...no, come on guys this is silly, let me out of these please" she starts to twist round to my brothers.
I lean down and grasp her chin keeping her in place.
"They won't help you, they want this as much as I do" I tell her smugly.
"But, if I promise" she begs gazing up at me, her eyes wide.
"Cuffs or tracker, the choice is yours princess"
I can see her trying to work out a way out of this, her gaze looking at my desk trying to see the tracker. I know she us expecting something for her wrist or ankle but we have something we tailored just for her.
I smirk at her "your choice"
I watch the emotions chase across her face as she decides.
"Tracker" she whispers.
I nod at Kade who gets up and retrieves the case from the desk moving to join Kier behind her kneeling body.
I reach out for her wrists holding her in place as Kier lifts her hair and Kade quickly lays the collar against her neck.
She starts to fight us then but between the three of us she cannot win.
The collar in place my brothers step back and I unlock the hand cuffs setting her free.
Within seconds she is up and away to the door, tears now streaming down her face, hands trying to find a way to remove the collar.
"What is this" she cries and I feel her fear tear at my heart.
"Its security baby" Kade tells her taking a step towards her shaking body.
"Take it off" she begs looking at him.
"No baby, we need it on you" he tells her softly.
"Baby you chose this" Kier reminds her moving up to Kade's side.
"No, you said nothing about a collar, I am not a damn dog" she screams, again tearing at the collar and leaving red marks on her neck at the same time.
"Stop baby, you're hurting yourself" Kier tells her firmly, stepping up and taking her hands in his and pulling her tight into his body.
"Collars are not just for animals, baby and this one is special, it's made just for you and us, we will always know where you are, we will always find you, you will never be alone again, this collar shows everyone you are ours" he soothes.
I hold my breath waiting for her reaction to his words, he had told her we want her but did she understand.
"You want to own me, control me...Why me?" She whispers looking between us all.
"Not own baby, maybe guide, worship, cherish, and why well because you are stunning inside and out, you're feisty, intelligent, brave, resourceful, kind all wrapped in a beautifully innocent body" Kade told her moving closer to her and Kier.
"My uncle..." she starts.
"Your uncle knows that we are all interested in a relationship with you" I tell her bringing her head up as she heard my words.
"No, he wouldn't leave me here with you if he knew" she denies.
"August, he's arranged our time off.  28 days to be with you, all of us, and yes he knows because we told him when he told us his plan, we didn't expect this either but he gave us his blessing"
"Your lying" she cried holding my gaze.
"No princess I'm not and you know it"
Her whole body suddenly sags and Kier sweeps her up into his arms, returning to sit on the chair with her on his lap.
Kade pours her a brandy and pushes it into her hand encouraging her to drink it before filling a glass for each of us.
"But I've never..., I have no experience" she mutters to herself the shock of the situation running through her mind "there's three of you, how can that work, it's wrong"
I kneel in front of her and take her hands
"Princess are you scared of us"
She looks at me shocked "no" she says shaking her head.
"We would never hurt you, none of us, we realised whilst we were chasing you round the country that your under our skin, we care about you"
She looked at me nervously.
"August, your uncle thinks you might be interested in us too, are you?"
My brothers hold their breath as we wait for her answer, her cheeks bloom red and she ducks her head shyly.
"August?" I prompt.
"Yes" she whispers, the sound barely there but we all hear her our eyes meeting over her bowed head.
"Good, then lets work on that baby, get to know us, all of us, we will go at your pace, we have 27 days left, we want you to relax and be happy"
She gazes nervously at me and my heart skips "and the collar" she raises a hand to it.
"Stays on baby, for now think of it as your punishment for running today, unless you want me to spank you again" I growl at her and she retreats into Kier's hold
"No, no spanking" she mutters quickly before yawning widely making us all smile at her.
Kade stands up and puts out his hand to her, pulling her off Kier's lap.
"You need a nap before dinner" he tells her.
"I'm not tired" she groans as he pulls her towards the door.
"Go baby, you've had a stressful day, have a rest, relax, we will wake you for dinner" Kier waves her away smiling as another yawn makes her sway.
"Okay, maybe a little one" she agrees following Kade out of the room.
