Journey of a Thousand Miles 4
Jessica’s Breakdown
Jessica Beckett is in control of every aspect of her life. She started her own online company and loves designing specialty lingerie items. When her friend, Bella, loses her job, they go on a road trip and end up in Coltmann County, Texas. Together, they open a store and set down roots in the small town.
Beau and Chase Austin meet Jessica when she arrives in town. She’s sweaty, tired, and bossy as heck after walking miles. Luckily, that’s the way they like their women. She tells them that it won’t work. She likes being the boss in the bedroom and so do they.
When Jessica goes out of town on vacation, her friend Bella points both Beau and Chase in the right direction. They follow her to a heavy BDSM club called Iron Gate and soon realize that Jessica isn’t the Domme she thinks she is. Maybe the three of them can be together.

Prologue
Jessica stared at herself in the mirror as she straightened her curly blonde hair. She was sick of the curls framing her face and making her look like an innocent girl instead of the in-charge woman she was. She needed to change her image and the grand opening of Love Song would do. She knew that Chase and Beau would be there, helping with the bar and serving snacks to the crowd. She hoped that this would be the day that they realized she wasn’t the one for them. A part of her was a little sad as she pulled the iron through her hair. She did want them. They were sexy, sweet, and always respectful, but she wasn’t convinced that they could make things work.
Love Song belonged to not only Jessica, but also her best girl friends Bella, Alyssa, and Hannah. They had been working hard for quite a few weeks to see this day. They were expecting at least one hundred people, and she had taken a lot of time to make sure that each lady in attendance received a little goody bag with some samples and coupons so that they would come back and shop.
Jessica groaned as she grabbed another disobedient curl and swiped the hot iron through her hair. She was dressed a little sexy and wondered if maybe she should change into something less revealing. The skintight black dress didn’t hide a thing and the four-inch pumps took her normal five-foot-five height and shot her up to model status.
She took a deep cleansing breath and stared at herself in the mirror. She went through the checklist she always did before leaving the house. “Straight hair, check. Makeup, check. Dress and shoes that make me look super fabulous, check.” She shrugged her shoulders and gave her reflection a little smile, posing briefly. “Purse…where is that darn thing? Oh yeah, front door, check.” Jessica gave her reflection one more smile and walked through the house. She needed to find Alyssa and get to the store.
Her heels clicked along the wood floor and she noticed that Alyssa’s bedroom door was closed. The house was relatively silent, too, and she wondered if Alyssa was still feeling sick. She hadn’t been herself for a couple weeks but Jessica assumed it was because they had all been working extra hours. Quietly knocking on the door, she opened it and peeked in.
“Alyssa,” she whispered. “Are you feeling okay? Do you want me to get a bath started for you? Can I get you anything?” She spotted Alyssa on her bed with the covers pulled over her head and cringed knowing that Alyssa had been feeling cruddy. She had been a trooper, though, going into the store every day, making sure the grand opening would be spectacular.
“No. Please go and have fun. I can’t go. I feel too freakin’ sick.” Alyssa moaned and Jessica frowned. They worked so hard to see this day happen.
“Okay. If you feel better, call me. I’ll come pick you up.” She closed the door behind her on a soft click and tried to tiptoe out of the house so that Alyssa could go back to sleep. She felt guilty but knew that they couldn’t postpone the grand opening again. They had already done that once, hoping that Diana, her assistant, would make it to town.
Grabbing her purse, Jessica walked out t
he front door. The warm air washed over her and she was glad she hadn’t changed out of the cotton dress. She lifted her leg up high and climbed into her SUV. She shook her head thinking about that day not too long ago when her car had broken down. They had been stuck in Coltmann County. At the time she thought it was the worst possible thing that could’ve happened during a road trip. Now, she loved the small town and was glad that they had stayed.
She drove down the dirt road, giving herself a pep talk. Chase and Beau would both be there and they were wearing down her defenses. She tried to stay strong, tried to joke with them and turn them off but nothing seemed to work. She was sexually frustrated and knew that she needed to leave town soon.
Jessica had started to plan a little trip to Dallas a couple of weeks ago. She loved the city and was really looking forward to going to a wonderful BDSM club that she had been a member of for a few years called Iron Gate. She needed to be away from Coltmann County for a bit and work until she was exhausted and no longer needed or wanted Chase and Beau. Most people planned vacations to exotic, warm locations. Jessica’s vacation was going to her second home. It was a place that she could be in control, where she could be herself.
She hummed as she drove down Main Street, glad that soon she would be off to her vacation and could finally get some much needed rest and relaxation. She had already started packing and as soon as everything was running smoothly here at the store, she was going to leave town for a whole week. Bella, Alyssa, and Hannah could handle things without her.
Cars littered the street and Jessica moved quickly, pulling into the first empty spot she found. She walked up the stairs, the front door already open, welcoming people inside. Justin and Grant were behind the bar and she could see them pouring a pretty pink liquid into plastic martini glasses. Music played in the background and people were already roaming through the store, big smiles plastered on their faces.
Jessica walked toward the front counter, put her purse under it, and moved around the room shaking hands and introducing herself. This was the best part of a grand opening, meeting the future customers, letting them see her and recognize the other owners. She felt a pang of sadness, wishing that Alyssa wasn’t stuck in bed missing the fun.
“Well…if it isn’t the boss lady. You look so damn sexy.” Chase growled in her ear and Jessica smiled and politely nodded at the woman she had been talking to. She was irritated, though, and had Chase been her man, he would be looking at receiving a punishment for interrupting her conversation. She wished that she could take him to the back room and correct his behavior, but he didn’t belong to her and he never would.
Turning slightly, she leaned into him, making everyone around them think she was being sexy and flirty. “Poor Chase, he needs all my attention.” She bit his earlobe hard and he jerked. “If you keep acting like a brat, I’ll have to punish you.” She let the threat hang, pulled back and smiled sweetly. She never would punish him, though. He was too Alpha and too in charge to let a woman take over. It was written all over his face. His eyes sparked with interest but she didn’t believe he truly wanted what she had to offer.
“Get back to work,” she told him and walked off. She needed to pay a visit to the makeshift bar and have a huge drink. She already knew that they both would be here, knew that they would try to wear her down, but she didn’t realize how close they actually were to doing just that.
Jessica spent the majority of the party avoiding both Beau and Chase. She had taken over running the cash register and handing out goody bags. She noticed Bella walk out the front door with Clint. The look on her face was too serious and Clint looked stern. She shook her head wondering if Bella had just done something to receive another spanking. It was so weird to be on the other side, having submissive friends who enjoyed the things she enjoyed doing to her men.
She shut her eyes and tried to block the image that kept trying to push into her mind. She always saw the same thing. Chase on his knees pleasuring her, his hands tied behind his back and Beau, oh the wicked things she would do to him. She shook herself hard and grabbed her drink, downing it in one swallow. Damn it, she needed a vacation and quick. Jessica stepped back and let Hannah take over for her. She felt a little too buzzed, the alcohol shooting straight to her head.
She stepped behind one of the racks of lingerie and watched people come and go from the store. The happiness of the day drained out of her, and she wished that she could head back to the guesthouse. She started tracking Chase and Beau, watching them work the room. They smiled while handing drinks out to their guests, and of course, all the women flirted openly. She shouldn’t care. She should want them to find another woman, but for some reason, it was starting to irritate her. She hated the fact that she couldn’t seem to stop herself from following their every move. Closing her eyes, Jessica took deep cleansing breaths, needing to calm down.
“Are you okay?” Beau’s smooth Texas accent whispered in her ear. She felt his warm breath on her neck and shivered. She usually stepped away at this point but she didn’t want to. He gripped her hips with his strong hands, his lips trailing along her collarbone. She leaned back, relaxing against him, loving the way his hands and lips felt on her body. She wanted more, her body was screaming. Her belly did a series of flips and she rubbed her thighs together. She couldn’t control herself for another minute, could feel herself actually caving.
“Back room,” she said, and he easily maneuvered her around the store to their destination. She opened the door and stepped in, grabbed the bottom of her dress and pulled it forcefully over her head. She turned in time to see Chase close the door and click the lock into place. They both stared at her as if she were the sexiest woman in the world, and Jessica wondered why it had taken her so long to just accept the inevitable. She wanted them, they wanted her, and she wouldn’t fight it anymore.
“Strip.” She wasn’t going to waste time. She was horny and crazy. Those two words described what she had been feeling since arriving. These two men made her crave things she didn’t quite understand. Consequences be damned, she could deal with those later.
Beau and Chase pulled their shirts over their heads, never once taking their eyes off her. She licked her lips as perfectly tan, sculpted muscles appeared. There were so many things she wanted to do but couldn’t decide who to touch first. They were both too delicious. She followed Chase’s movements as he took one hand and pushed it down his chest, his hard abs, and finally reached the top button of his jeans. She held her breath and waited, wondering what he would do next.
Jessica had wanted them both since arriving into town. She still remembered the first time she set eyes on them. Chase, she remembered the moment so clearly. She had walked into their shop, Austin Brothers, after walking miles in the heat. She felt like hell and there he had been, a golden god. Her brain had a hard time connecting to her mouth, and she had barely been able to speak clearly.
Beau, he was another story altogether. Where Chase seemed to be more playful, Beau was serious. The first time she saw him was walking into the café that first afternoon. She had noticed the ménage couples walking around holding hands, and she wondered secretly what it would be like to be with multiple men. When they walked into the café, Beau stood up by his booth and smiled at her, making direct eye contact. She knew right away that he was related to Chase. They looked almost identical. Beau was older though, more intense.
She moved back to the present, staring at both Chase and Beau. There wasn’t a doubt in her mind that she wanted them. This was her chance.
Jessica opened her mouth, panting as Chase lowered his zipper, exposing more skin. Beau moved closer to her, touching her hip, gliding his hand around her body until he stood behind her. He grabbed her hips and pulled her back against his chest. She leaned into him and he moved his hand up, cupping her breasts over her lace bra.
“Are you sure you want to do this?”
She nodded her head frantically, watching as Chase lowered his jeans. He leaned down, pulli
ng them off his body before slowly standing up, letting her get an eyeful of his magnificent cock.
“You’re so soft.” Beau’s voice sounded gruff, and she could feel his cock harden against her lower back. He unhooked the clip at the front of her bra, grabbed the straps and lowered it, giving Chase the perfect view. His fingertips glided down her arms until the bra hit the floor.
Chase licked his lips. “Come have a taste,” Beau offered, and Chase walked toward her, a predator ready to take down his prey. She stood frozen, transfixed, wanting his mouth on her body. He cupped her breasts, weighing them in his hands, before tweaking her nipples, rolling them in between his thumb and forefinger. She wanted to lean against Beau for support, but he chose that moment to move down her body. He grabbed her thin lace panties and pulled them slowly down her legs, letting them pool at her feet.
“Let’s move her to the table,” Chase said. He picked her up as if she weighed nothing and laid her on the table in the middle of the room. She felt vulnerable and a little nervous but she said nothing, not wanting to ruin this moment. Chase moved in for the kill, grabbing first one nipple and sucking it deep into his mouth and then moving to the next. He alternated kissing, biting, sucking until she was shifting and moving on the table.
“God, look at her, she’s so perfect. I get the first taste of her pussy.” Beau pushed his hands up her legs, parting her thighs and wedging his shoulders between them. She felt his warm breath on her a second before he touched her with his mouth. She moaned loudly. She had been too needy for too long. Every touch made her want more.
