“So are you.” I looked in his eyes.
He laughed. “And you’re cute.”
He leaned over to the bedside table, flipping a condom between his fingers. I whimpered, wanting him. He couldn’t get it on fast enough.
He pushed into me, slamming hard with all his weight.
“Oh Isaac,” I moaned.
I loved sex with him. I loved sex with Dylan. Both. It was all different and special. On our own we could explore our bodies in ways we couldn’t all together. I had the best of all worlds. I knew how insanely lucky I was as he rocked into me, thrusting his solid cock inside me.
“I love fucking you, Vanessa.”
I nodded, my eyes closing sleepily. “Yes. Fuck me, please.”
The sweat began to drip down his chest as he pumped harder and faster. His rough hands palmed my breasts before twisting my nipples between his fingers.
“Ohh,” I shot forward. They’d never felt so sensitive before. So on fire.
“Fuck, you’re killing me,” he growled, grabbing my ass and pulling me toward him. “I need you on your knees now.”
I nodded. “Oh yes.”
I rolled on my stomach and crawled to edge of the bed, planting myself on all fours. He positioned himself behind me, slipping the condom off.
I sighed, knowing where he was going to go.
He pressed his cock to my ass. I ground backward and relaxed my tight muscles so he could push inside me.
“Fuck, I love your ass.”
“Holy shit.” Dylan stood in the doorway, dripping wet from the shower. “Fuck, that’s hot.”
He walked toward the edge of the bed. I licked my lips as he offered his cock to me. My mouth parted as he slid it between my lips.
“Fuck,” he growled. “You give me the best blow jobs, darlin’.” He grabbed the back of my head, coaxing his dick deeper in my throat.
He tasted sweet and clean. I sucked hard as Isaac sank into my ass, stretching and widening it. I rocked and swayed between them. Between these men I couldn’t live without.
“Hold her, so she can touch herself,” Isaac breathed raggedly.
Dylan steadied me under my arms as he fucked my mouth relentlessly.
“Touch that pretty clit of yours, Vanessa. Pump those fingers in your pussy, so you’re completely full.”
I could only groan. His cock filled my mouth. He kept me balanced as I reached one hand between my legs. I was soaking wet. So rich with honey. I closed my eyes as my fingers swept over my clit. It was on fire. I whimpered, shuddering from all the sensations.
“Go on, baby. Fuck those pretty fingers,” Isaac growled. “We’ve got you. We have all of you.”
I pushed my fingers inside my walls, disappearing in the haze of the fantasy. I could feel the pressure of Isaac’s cock as I kept my fingers inside me. It was erotic and amazing.
I looked up. Dylan’s eyes bore into mine as he grew closer to his climax.
“That’s it. Fuck us all, Vanessa. You can make us all come. You. Are so damned sexy. So fucking hot with my dick in your mouth. So fucking beautiful when Isaac fucks your ass. You are taking us there. Fuck yourself. Take us there.”
I wanted to scream out. I wanted them to hear how much I enjoyed it. How Dylan’s dirty words rang true in my sexual soul. I was beautiful. I felt so loved and adored. So completely worshipped as they took care of my body.
I quivered and quaked as they thrust in unison. One. Two. Three.
They yelled toward the ceiling as their releases fired inside me. I sucked greedily at Dylan’s cum, drinking him in. My ass was warm and soothed and the fireworks exploded through my core, taking over my thighs and legs until my toes curled with pure pleasure.
Dylan staggered backward. “Damn, girl. I think I fucking love you.”
My eyes widened. “What?”
“What?” Isaac echoed.
Dylan looked as shocked as we were. “I-I…shit.”
“No.” I shook my head. “I love you too. Come here.” I opened my arms, drawing him down for a kiss. His tongue twirled inside my mouth. “Say it again,” I whispered.
“I fucking love you,” he growled.
I spun from him to Isaac. “I love you too, Isaac. I love you so much.”
He groaned as his mouth landed on mine. His hands covered my body as he bit at my lips.
“I love you, Vanessa.”
I wanted to stay in bed all day like this. Loving them. But it was game day.
“We have to get going, darlin’,” Dylan reminded me. He picked the towel up from the floor.
“I know.” I pouted. “I just can’t believe we all said that and now we have to go to the stadium.”
Isaac pulled my hair back, kissing me under my ear. “It won’t change between now and when we celebrate our win tonight. I love fucking you because I love you.” He pressed his forehead to mine. I shivered with the words.
Could this be real? Could I be in love with both of them equally? I felt it with every part of me. They were a part of who I was now. I’d never choose one over the other. And that meant loving them together was the only way my heart could operate.
“Come on, man.” Dylan had started to walk out of the room. “I’ll be ready to head in in five.”
“Game day jitters?” Isaac ribbed.
“More like game day records to break. Who do you think gets more yards today you or me?” He looked at the ceiling. “I’m guessing me.”
“Shut up, Dylan.”
Isaac lingered in bed. I knew he had to get in the shower. The clock was ticking down on our minutes together.
He closed his eyes. “Tonight. We’ll do something special tonight.”
I nodded. He hopped off the bed, making his way to the shower, closing the bathroom door behind him.
Dylan smiled at me from the doorway. He strolled toward me, leaning over the bed. I rocked backward as his lips crashed into mine.
“I’ve never it said before.”
I stared at him in disbelief. “Really?”
He nodded. “I didn’t want to tell you that in front of Isaac, but it’s true.” He drew a long slow kiss from my lips. “See you after the game.” He winked and was gone.
I had to keep the squeal inside. Because all I wanted to do was jump up and down on Isaac’s bed and shout to the world that they loved me. That I loved them. And that life was so perfect.

Isaac
Only a month to go before playoffs started. Each game meant more. We were getting closer to the end goal. If only we could fend off the Wranglers today. We’d be one step closer to clenching the division.
The fans were rowdy. They usually were when the San Antonio team was in town. It was a bitter rivalry that had divided more than one Texas family in half.
I stood on the sideline, waiting for a defense to get a turnover. It was almost halftime. The score was tied seven to seven.
I looked up at the jumbo-tron, just as Lenny sacked Wes Blakefield.
“Yeah!” I pumped my arm in the air.
The Wranglers offense ran off the field. It was fourth down. They had to punt the ball.
The wide receivers coach walked over to me. “We’re changing the route,” Benji smacked his gums. He was a smoker, and during games he was stressed so he went through packs of gum, mints, anything he could chew on since cigarettes were off limits.
Dylan leaned over. “Changing the route?”
“Yeah. The Wranglers are all over you two. Let’s mix it up. Price, you’ve got the right and James you take the left. Count stays the same.”
Dylan and I nodded. We’d run these plays backward and forward. But it was rare we changed up sides of the field like this in the middle of the game.
“Got it.” I slid the helmet on over my head.
Warriors special teams ran the ball back to the forty-yard line. Dylan and I ran to the line, waiting for Luke to take the snap count.
I looked to my right and to my left. These were the moments that defined us.
When we proved we were better than the enemy. When we showed our strength and endurance. That our training and skills could take them down on the battlefield.
I knew the ball was coming to me. I had to run thirty yards and keep the defender off my tail. It was simple. I had run the play a hundred times.
Luke yelled for the ball. The line took off. There was a blitz.
Everyone scrambled as I sprinted for the opening in the field. The offensive line held the pocket long enough for Luke to rocket the ball in my direction. I kept my eyes on the spiral soaring through the sky. I ran, one long yard after another. My arms reached upward as I snatched the ball from the air.
I yanked it toward my chest as the defensive back lunged for me. He missed my waist, clinging for any part of me he could grab, when his hands clutched my knee. He jerked my knee to the side bringing me down with sudden force as if I were a huge oak being toppled. I did everything in my power to hold on to the ball. I had moved us at least thirty yards, if not thirty-five. We had the first down and great field position.
But as the rest of my body fell forward, the defenders hands wrenched my knee into an awkward position and it twisted under my weight.
I howled with the pain. The fans erupted in cheers. I heard them chanting my name. I couldn’t move. I rolled on my back, trying to figure out how I was going to limp off the field, but the pain paralyzed my ability to move. The pain spread up my back. Fuck. My leg was killing me.
I gripped the sides.
The defender grinned, running back to the sidelines.
“Fucker,” I growled.
Dylan jogged over when he saw I didn’t hop up. “Man, you ok?”
I bore my eyes into his. “Medic,” I answered.
He nodded, motioning to the sideline. Within seconds the entire medical team surrounded me.
“I want to walk off this field.” I gritted my teeth.
The head team physician knelt beside me. “Isaac, let us get the cart. You need to have your leg secured. We don’t know how bad it is.”
“No,” I fired. “I’m walking, hobbling, whatever the hell I have to do. I’m not going to carried out of here. And if you try to fucking touch me, so help me…”
I had seen men who lost limbs find a way to drag their blooded bodies out of a firing zone. I’d seen them carry their best friends through ditches. I watched men bleed out in front of me in the desert after they’d been shot and walked five miles on their own two feet. It was a disgrace to my fallen comrades to be carried off this field. A playing field. A place where I lived a game. Not when they died for so much more.
I was going to walk on my leg even if it was shattered in a hundred pieces.
Doc backed away. “You heard the man. Let him walk off the field.” He looked at me. “But we are taking you straight to medical.”
I nodded. I knew my leg was destroyed. I didn’t need the tests to confirm it.
The entire stadium was hushed in an eerie silence. They were waiting to see what would happen. They were watching for the stretcher or the cart.
I raised my thumb in the air and the stands erupted. I couldn’t use my bad leg, but I balanced all my weight on my right and carefully rose to a standing position. I was glad my helmet was still on. They would have seen the tears seep from the corners of my eyes with every step I took.
Dylan was next to me. “Give me your arm or something. Don’t be a fucking idiot.”
“No,” I barked. “I’m walking to the locker room.”
“Then I’m walking with your stubborn ass.”
“Fine.” I pressed my lips together. He marched beside me, giving me distance as I shuffled off the field.
By the time I reached the locker room I was gripping the wall for support. The pain was searing through me. “Fuck,” I groaned.
Doc was right behind me. “Get him in the back of that ambulance immediately.” He pointed to his assistants. There were no cameras. No fans.
“I’ve gotta get back out there,” Dylan explained. “The injury time out won’t last forever.”
“Go,” I ordered. “Just win the damn game.”
He jogged back toward the tunnel.
I let them load me into the back of the van. They could have slowed down. My knee was already busted. Getting to the hospital wasn’t going to change that.
I stared at the ceiling as the ambulance whirled out from under the stadium.

“Where did they take him?” I was frantic, but I had to keep my composure in front of my grandparents’ friends who now filled the family box.
Steve had stopped by to see if I wanted to release a statement about Isaac before we had a hospital report.
“He’s going to the beset hospital in Austin,” he replied. “He’ll have the best treatment. You can count on that.”
“Text me the address.” I grabbed my bag. “I need to go.”
Grammy’s hand landed on my wrist. “Why would you do that?”
I looked at her. “I-I need to make sure one of our players is ok. He doesn’t have family here.” I would come up with twenty more excuses to get there if I had to.
She turned back to the game, talking to me over her shoulder. “We’re on the ten. Sit down, Vanessa. Someone else from the office can check on Price.”
I glared at the back of her head.
“He’s my player,” I retorted. “Steve, can you have a car take me?”
I was too rattled to drive. I had seen Isaac’s injury replayed on the jumbo-tron. I saw the pain he was in. I had to get there.
“Of course,” Steve responded. He retrieved his cell phone.
“Your fiancé is on the field,” Grammy quipped. “I’d think you’d want to watch him.” She motioned for me to lean down. I bent my ear toward her ear. “It won’t look favorable if you leave during this game. You can check on Isaac Price’s condition later. Steve will update you.”
I felt the walls of my chest tighten. My ribs were strangling my lungs.
In that moment, I felt as if I hated her. Hated what she had become. All the things she never did. Maybe all the things she did.
She was a poor substitute for a mother. I wanted to tear out of here and be next to Isaac. What if he needed me? What if he was out of it and someone needed to make a decision? What if he needed surgery?
Grammy couldn’t possibly relate to what I was going through. How my heart was thundering in my chest.
Her attention was back on the game. She leaned next to one of her friends to point to something on the field.
I bit my lip, biting back the tears of frustration. I knew she was right. I knew the optics were terrible. No owner would leave during a game-scoring play, especially not an owner engaged to the man who was about to score the touchdown.
The woman who had raised me, hadn’t prepared me to be an owner. Neither had my grandfather. They prepared me to be an owner’s princess. To be the wife of a great man. Someone who would need my support. Someone who needed me to sit quietly and smile sweetly, giving him all the support in the world. They raised me to be the kind of woman to look one way, while I felt completely different on the inside.
Because wasn’t that who she was? She had been walking around, holding bitterness and resentment for her husband’s lies, while basking in the attention of being a lonely widow. She basked in the sympathies. The flowers people sent. The endless lines of muffins and cakes she adored. To her, it meant she was still remembered. She was still important to Austin.
I hadn’t seen it until now. She resented me. She was no longer the owner’s wife. She was no longer the queen of the Warriors kingdom. My ascension to the throne had kicked her off hers.
I took a step back. The nausea rolled through me. I clutched my stomach.
Steve looked worried.
“You ok, Vanessa?”
I nodded. “Just exhausted and worried. There are a lot of implications for Isaac’s injury,” I whispered to him as if I was taking him int
o my confidence. As if I was thinking about the team and not the man I loved. “Look, I can’t go before halftime. But can you get to the hospital now?” I asked. “Stay with Isaac. Tell him I sent you.” I eyed him. “And I’ll be there as soon as the game is over.”
It was going to be a torturous two hours, but I was going to have to wait.
Steve nodded. “I think we need to consider what our press statement is going to be before the postgame media event. Applewhite is going to be hounded.”
“Which is why it’s perfect if you go to the hospital. I want you to call me as soon as you find out anything about Isaac’s leg.”
“I’ll start on the draft when I get there. I’m sure the reporters will already be there.”
Damn it. I hadn’t thought about the reporters. Well, at least if I arrived after the game, it wouldn’t look nearly as odd.
This was all I could do for now.
I practically pushed Steve out of the box. “Go,” I urged. “Don’t forget, call me as soon as you see him.”
I turned around just in time to see Luke to throw the ball into Dylan’s hands. He took two leaps and landed in the end zone. Touchdown. I clapped my hands together.
My grandmother looked over her shoulder and smiled at me, like the cat who had snatched the goldfish from the bowl.
And I wondered if that’s who she had been all this time.

Vanessa
Hospitals always made me uneasy. The last time I had been here was the night my grandfather died.
My stomach lurched with the overwhelming smell of disinfectant when I walked in.
A nurse grinned as he walked past me. Steve had given me Isaac’s room number.
I stopped outside the door, trying to calm my nausea. Isaac needed me to be strong. I had to help him through this.
I tapped on the door and slid it to the side.
“Hi.” I smiled.
Steve was sitting in the corner typing away on his laptop. He looked up. “Oh good, Vanessa. You can approve this statement for me.”
