“Fuck, I can’t believe I’m saying this. I love you, Bella. I’ve never told a woman that in my life. I love you,” he hollered and then shook as he came.

Mateus stroked her hair and lifted her onto his lap in a cradle position. The water continued to caress over them and then they stood up, re-soaped and then enjoyed the sauna, the relaxing lights, and the feel of Bella in their arms.
“Don’t ever be jealous of any other women. We’re making a commitment to you. We love you and this is a first. We won’t be jealous of any of your lovers, okay,” Mateus said to her.
“Speak for yourself. I’d rather not even think about her with other men, thank you,” Major stated.
She smiled and took Major’s hand and placed it over her heart. Then she took Mateus’s hand and placed it over his and held it there.
“Neither of you have to be jealous ever. I’ve had only two lovers in my life.”
“I said I didn’t want to know,” Major barked at her.
“You really were inexperienced then,” Mateus teased and eyed her over.
“You don’t understand. I’ve only had two lovers ever,” she stated and then looked at both of them and squeezed their hands. It hit Mateus first.
“We’re your first and only lovers ever?” he asked.
“What?” Major stated and narrowed his eyes at her.
“I christened your shower, your bed, and your home, but I gave the two of you my virginity.”
“Bella, my God, why didn’t you say anything?” Mateus asked. He felt like maybe he could have made it better for her, and he thought about how tight she was and how she gasped as he pushed through, finally penetrating her.
“Holy God, I felt it. You weren’t just tight, you never had sex,” he said.
“I’ve met a lot of different guys in my life and never was I compelled to let go and just jump. When I met the two of you, it scared the hell out of me how much I felt. I kept saying nothing complicated, no commitments, and that I wanted to have control over who I gave my virginity to. I met you guys, and we hit it off so perfectly. I started wishing, pretending that Colosar and New York didn’t exist.”
“Don’t say his name,” Major snapped at her. Mateus caressed her thigh.
“So you used us?” he teased her, and she slapped his arm.
“No, Mateus, I did not. I truly fell in love with you, and after I left you I told Adalina that I screwed up and went and fell in love with you. I just want you to know that you are it. The two of you are my firsts.”
“Your onlys, woman. Fuck, you thought I was protective and possessive before, you’re in for it,” Major told her and then leaned over and kissed her lips. Mateus smiled.
“She sure is, and we’re going to spoil the heck out of her and explain a lot of rules. Like how this relationship is only the beginning of our bond. Forever ours, Bella, and we are forever yours.”
“Oh yeah, I can think of a bunch of rules. She needs training. She has no experience. I think it will take a lifetime to teach her and love her fully.”
“This is going to be great,” Mateus added.
“Hey, don’t be trying to turn me into some sort of sex slave.”
“Sex slave? Hmmm, I think you’re going to like being bound and taken. I’ve already had some pretty interesting fantasies we can start tonight,” Major said.
She slid off of Mateus’s lap and pointed at Major.
“You behave,” she said to him, and Major pulled her into his arms and hugged her tight.
Mateus saw his brother’s hand caress her ass and then squeeze.
“I love you, woman, always.”
“I love you, too,” she whispered.
“We better get out of here. Company is coming and we need to prepare,” Mateus told them.
“Do we have to?” Major asked.
“I suppose we do, but then, we have the rest of our lives to love one another and fulfill all our fantasies,” Mateus stated firmly. Bella smiled.
He watched his brother lead Bella from the shower, wrap her up in a fluffy towel, and then carry her out of the bathroom.
Life was about to change for them, and for Bella. Starting with how they were going to keep her protected and explain that life being claimed by two well-known made men was going to be dangerous and require a new way of living. He just hoped no one ever tried to hurt her again, or he would personally send them to their grave.
“Mateus, I need your help, your brother is tying my wrists together,” she called out.
Mateus smiled wide, then rubbed his hands together. “Wait for me. I want to make my baby beg for more.”
Epilogue
“I’m so glad that you’re okay. Your bruises look terrible,” Adalina told Bella. They sat on the veranda that overlooked the gardens. Bella held an ice pack to her cheek.
“I know they do. Mateus and Major are having a hard time looking at them. Hence why I have to keep the ice on it so much,” she said and then pulled the ice pack away and set it down.
Bella stared at Adalina. “I wanted to say thank you, for everything you did to help save me. I was never so scared, Adalina.”
“I’m glad I was able to help. I was scared, too. We’ve been friends forever and I would never let anything happen to you and would do whatever was needed.”
“I know that, and I feel the same way about you. I mean I know, obviously I don’t have connections or anything like you do, but I’m here for you no matter what. You can trust me with anything, like I trust you.”
Adalina smiled and squeezed her hand.
“So, have Vinny and Sunny cornered you anywhere lately?” she asked and smirked.
“No, they haven’t and I’ve done a good job avoiding them.”
“Why? They care about you, and you like them, too.”
“It isn’t that simple, and I never said I liked them.”
“Oh, give me a break. I can see it in your eyes, and they want you.”
“Well, some things just can’t happen. That’s one of them,” Adalina said and looked away from Bella. Bella reached out and covered her hand.
“Does it have something to do with your secrets and the connections no one knew you had but you revealed to save me?”
“I risked a lot, Bella. I would do it again, so it really doesn’t matter.”
“Then why would it matter when it comes to Vinny and Sunny?”
Adalina stared at her and then looked around them before she leaned closer and whispered. “I have a lot of secrets, Bella. I know things and have done some things, and I’m part of a world that you’ll soon be getting a glimpse into. The risks are high, and sometimes decisions are made that people have no control over. There are rules, unwritten and complicated, but they must be obeyed and followed. I can’t tell you because I won’t risk placing you in danger, but when the time comes, I hope that you’ll be there for me,” she said to her. Bella could sense the emotion, the anguish in her words.
“I promise to be there for you. Our friendship is special, Adalina, and I have the feeling I’m going to need a little help understanding the rules and other things. I believe that you’ll be able to help me and get me through it,” she said and smiled.
“You bet, and I hope your men won’t stop you from doing the annual D.R. trip with just the girls.”
“What?” Mateus asked as he and Major walked onto the veranda. Bella smiled.
“About that? I kind of didn’t mention it yet since it’s a year away,” Bella said.
“The only trip to the D.R. you’ll be going on will be with us,” Major stated.
“Hey, why is that?”
“Well, the last time you went you made things complicated and stirred the place up,” Mateus teased.
“Oh yeah, she was moving pretty sexily on that dance floor. Was that what made you lose it, Mateus?” Adalina teased and stood up, preparing to leave.
“Hey, where are you going?” Bella asked.
“Oh, I have to get so
mewhere and your men look hungry,” she said and winked.
“Take good care of her,” Adalina said and pointed at Mateus and Major.
“Oh, we will, Adalina. Don’t you worry,” Major added, and Bella squealed as Mateus lifted her up over his shoulder and began to carry her through the living room. She saw Adalina leave the house through the front door as her men carried her to the bedroom once again. Something told her she was going to be spending a lot of time in that bedroom. Oh, and the shower, the cabana, the pool, the living room…double the loving, double the time, double the pleasure. Oh yes, she was ready and willing to be the woman of two made men indeed.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
People seem to be more interested in my name than where I get my ideas for my stories from. So I might as well share the story behind my name with all my readers.
My momma was born and raised in New Orleans. At the age of twenty, she met and fell in love with an Irishman named Patrick Riley Dwyer. Needless to say, the family was a bit taken aback by this as they hoped she would marry a family friend. It was a modern day arranged marriage kind of thing and my momma downright refused.
Being that my momma’s families were descendants of the original English speaking Southerners, they wanted the family blood line to stay pure. They were wealthy and my father’s family was poor.
Despite attempts by my grandpapa to make Patrick leave and destroy the love between them, my parents married. They recently celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary.
I am one of six children born to Patrick and Lynn Dwyer. I am a combination of both Irish and a true Southern belle. With a name like Dixie Lynn Dwyer it’s no wonder why people are curious about my name.
Just as my parents had a love story of their own, I grew up intrigued by the lifestyles of others. My imagination as well as my need to stray from the straight and narrow made me into the woman I am today.
Enjoy Bad Timing and allow your imagination to soar freely.
