Sam was the first of the three to touch her when he spoke. Taking her hand, he placed it over his heart, “My brothers and I want to give you a wonderful life. One filled with love and happiness, but as you may have noticed, all three of us are very dominant. We like to control our surroundings and those in it.” Tia started to say something, but Sam shushed her by placing a finger against her lips.
“We know how independent you are, and we don’t want to deter that. We can see that Shay is a little wildcat, and we don’t want to squelch that, either. We are, however, very dominant in the bedroom, and you’ll learn to be submissive in all things there. We will do whatever we think is necessary to protect you and Shay. Even if you disagree with the things we do to protect you.”
Tia sighed. “I realize that as much as I hate it, if Simone and the three of you all feel that Shay could be in danger somehow I’ll abide by your rules but only until the danger is over and only in regards to safety issues. All the rest…I just don’t know about. I don’t understand how all three of you could feel the way you say you feel so quickly. And what really irks me”—she smiled coyly—“is that I have these strong feelings for all of you and I can’t seem to stop them.”
Smiles and whoops broke from the three men as each one grabbed her, lifting her up and kissing the daylights out of her. Each man’s kiss was equally arousing but different. Dan’s kiss demanded. He wanted her submission and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Sam’s kiss was coaxing, playful. He liked to tease with his tongue until he got what he wanted. Ryder! God, Ryder’s kiss was a combination of both. He demanded her submission in the kiss, but once he got it he loved to play. His kiss made her panties soaked instantly. Sam’s and Dan’s did as well, but Ryder had that little bit extra. Not that she would say anything. He was already arrogant enough.
The four of them stopped and turned their heads to the doorway when they heard a discreet clearing of someone’s throat.
“Looks like I was right again, huh, boys?” Simone and her three husbands stood just inside the door with big grins on their faces.
“Hey, sis, you guys are here ahead of schedule. That’s great.” Sam crossed the room to envelope her in a big bear hug.
“And don’t think you’re out of the woods, judge.” Tia smiled as she also hugged her. “I haven’t figured it all out yet, but if this doesn’t work out, then it’s entirely your fault.”
Simone burst out laughing and grabbed Tia and hugged her again.
* * * *
Simone knew she had been right in making the connection for her brothers. Tia was strong and would be able to handle anything her idiot siblings could throw at her.
“So where’s my favorite niece to be?” She laughed. Tia groaned, and the Kinsey triplets smiled.
“Don’t get her started, you three. If she keeps up with this she’ll have us married and me pregnant with triplets.” Simone just laughed because she knew that Tia would try to scare her brothers and get them to help her to deflect her match-making efforts. But Tia was in for a surprise when she looked back, expecting them to be following her, and they were just standing there smiling.
“What?” they all asked simultaneously.
“We were just imagining you all round and cute with our babes inside you,” Ryder piped up.
“Oh, Lord have mercy,” Tia groaned. “I’ve fallen in with a bunch of lunatics.”
She turned quickly and headed off to stop Simone before she started filling Shay’s head with all her notions. Too late she saw that Shay was already in Simone’s lap and the twins were talking about them becoming cousins and how great it will be…
“Mom? Is it true?” Shay squealed running toward her. “Are you gonna marry Uncle Ryder, Uncle Sam, and Uncle Dan?
Tia glared at Simone and the twins, and they all were smart enough to realize they were in deep trouble. “Not at the moment, honey. We barely know them. We’ll see what happens. Can we at least get settled into our new home and me into my new job before you have me married off again?” She smiled down at her daughter’s hopeful grin.
Simone came up and hugged Shay and smiled gently, “Sorry, honey, I just get so carried away when I see you two. I want you both to be a part of my family, but even if your mom and the triplets don’t get married you and she will always be part of my family.”
Tia smiled through watery eyes as Simone hugged her, too, whispering in her ear, “Sorry, sweetie, jumped the gun a little, didn’t I? Just wait until it happens and then look out.”
She kissed her temple and told the twins to meet her downstairs in an hour.
Ryder, Sam, and Dan stood and watched the girls play games for a while, laughing when they were called old men because they were having so much trouble getting the hang of the game controls.
Chapter 3
Tia still wasn’t sure about the whole triplet relationship thing, but she wanted to give them all a chance. She didn’t understand how she could have such strong feelings for all three men so quickly. And they hadn’t even had sex yet.
A buzzer sounded and a voice came over the intercom. “Dinner is ready in the dining room, boys. There’s more than enough for everyone. Don’t take too long or it will get cold.”
“That’s Maria, our housekeeper and cook. Let’s go and meet her. She’s going to just love you two,” Sam said, going to get Shay.
The dining room was large like everything else in the house. The table wasn’t your usual, seats-six kinda table. It was long and could probably seat twenty or more no problem, which in this family seemed like a good idea.
Maria had set out a feast for them to welcome the girls to their new home.
“I am so glad that you have come to make my boys happy, Miss Tia. They talked about you and Miss Shay so much that I feel like I know you already. These boys are special, and if they have chosen you to open their hearts to, then it makes me proud.” Tia could see the tears threatening to fall down Maria’s cheek. Quickly she grabbed a napkin and started to wipe under the older woman’s eyes.
“Ah, she is a special one, boys, kind and thoughtful, and she doesn’t give a rat’s ass about your status or money, either, so she won’t be letting you get away with some of the crap those other bimbos let you. You’ve chosen well for yourselves.”
Tia couldn’t help but burst out laughing at how Maria spoke to the triplets. She was definitely one of a kind. She seemed to know more about the family than anyone, so maybe, when she could get her alone, Tia would gently ask her some questions about the town of Kinsey.
“Maria, maybe one day, when you have a little extra time, you could tell me about all those bimbos.” Tia smiled sweetly.
“No!” came from all three of the men.
“Hey,” Simone interjected. “Lady who introduced them needs some thanks, too, you know, Lady Maria!!”
“Oh, Miss Simone.” She giggled. “You know how proud I am of your abilities. You do me proud every time a match is made.”
Tia sat there and listened to the exchange between the two women. You could see the love between them and it made her sad that her parents weren’t around anymore. They had always had the kind of relationship that when one of them walked into the room where the other was they both lit up when their eyes met. Her parents had loved each other deeply and that was one of the reasons she married James. She thought that he could give her that. How wrong she was.
* * * *
Dan sat and watched the myriad of emotions that crossed Tia’s beautiful face. He knew that even though they had only known each other a short time she had strong feelings for all three of them. She just wasn’t ready to deal with them yet.
He recognized that the feelings they brought out in her were something that she’d never had to deal with before. From some of her reactions to them, she’d probably never felt them, not even during her marriage to James.
She was drawn to each one of them in a different way.
Tia was to start her job on the following Monday morning. That gav
e her the rest of the week and weekend to unpack and get Shay settled. She laughed to herself at just how settled and well adjusted her little girl seemed to be already. Since the twins arrived early, Tia seemed to only see Shay at dinner and that was when everyone was around. The triplets, however seemed to be underfoot constantly. One of them was always around trying to help her with something or grab a quick kiss.
Yesterday, all three had been at the house when she had tried to change a light bulb in Shay’s room. The ceilings were so high that she had to go and get a ladder. The minute she was at the top of the ladder she knew something was wrong. She heard a loud crack as the ladder gave way beneath her. Within seconds of landing on her ass and hip and crying out in pain, the door flew open and all three men were running into the room.
Ryder was the first to get to her. “Are you all right, baby? Is anything broken?”
Dan was his usual take-charge kinda guy. “Ryder! Get out of the way so that I can take a look at her,” he snapped. Dan had spent some time in Afghanistan with a medical team, so he would be able to tell if there was something serious. Gently, he looked her over, making sure not to move her around in case she had broken something.
“I’m all right, guys, really. Just a blow to my pride, that’s all.” She laughed.
Sam lifted her off the floor and into his arms as if she were light as a feather. The sheer strength of the three men amazed her. Striding through to her room, he deposited her on her bed.
She could tell that they were all a little pissed with her because they stalked back and forth across her room like caged tigers.
“What do you think you were doing up there, Tia?” Sam growled. “You could have been killed, little one, and then where would Shay be?”
Tia hadn’t thought about it being dangerous when she decided to climb up the ladder. She had done all the home maintenance during her marriage so it seemed normal to her. Mind you, the ceilings in her old house weren’t nearly as high as the ones here, but the ladder looked in good shape so she went for it. Never taking their eyes off her, each man took up a position around the bed.
* * * *
Dan came and sat beside her, taking her hands in his, trying desperately to hide the fact that he was shaking. Leaning forward, she placed a hand on his cheek, hoping to ease his fears.
Suddenly, he grabbed her in an embrace so tight she thought her ribs might break.
“I never want to see you hurt, baby. Please, if you need something like that done again ask one of us and we’d be more than happy to do anything for you,” he whispered into her hair.
“I didn’t want to bother you. You all have stuff to do. Jobs, I presume that you have to go to. You can’t be doing everything for me. I’ve always done all the home maintenance, so it didn’t seem to be such a big deal.”
Ryder came around the other side of the bed and took one of her hands in his. “Sweetheart, if anything happened to you the three of us wouldn’t survive. You and Shay have come to mean so much to us in a very short time, and we’re very protective of what’s ours.”
Dan didn’t want to think about either Tia or Shay being hurt. The images would be too much for him to handle, and he’d probably end up a basket case.
* * * *
Tia glanced and smiled at all the men and thought it was the sweetest thing for them to worry about her. Lord knows the only thing James worried about where she was concerned was how fast he could spend her money and what her family connections could do for his career.
“Look, guys, I appreciate everything you’re doing for us, but you have your own lives to live. You do all have jobs, don’t you?” She quietly laughed to herself. “See, I don’t even know what any of you do for a living.” Tia thought about that for a minute. She really didn’t know a great deal about the three men. She knew they were gorgeous and sweet and that they loved their sister. She knew they loved to tease each other so bad sometimes that it ended in a scuffle. But they would die for one another.
They all smiled and looked at each other.
Tia could see that Ryder was trying hard not to let his amusement show. Maybe there was something that they had been holding back. Sam was the first one to attempt an explanation. “Well, honey, we don’t have your usual type of jobs. We own our own business here in Kinsey so we can come and go as we please. It’s actually quite popular and very exclusive.”
They all knew an explanation was needed. They just weren’t sure how the hell they were going to explain to her that they were the owners of a very exclusive BDSM club.
“Uh, yeah, baby, we want to take you there to play with you soon. We know that you’re going to just love it there.” Ryder smiled.
“Very soon,” was all that Dan seemed to be able to get out.
* * * *
Not quite sure whether or not she really wanted the answer to her next question she decided to go for it anyway. “What kind of business do you have that you can play at? Is it a gym?”
She looked between the three men and noticed that none of them were too eager to answer her. It couldn’t be that bad. Could it?
“Did you notice when you came into town that big warehouse-looking building on the outskirts?” Ryder asked, still smiling. “Well that’s our club, honey. We run a BDSM club and train Doms in the art of pleasuring their subs or slaves.”
None of the men knew what to expect from her, but they certainly didn’t expect her to burst out laughing, she was sure of that.
“So you’re all Doms. And you own a club where you train other Doms?” she asked, still giggling.
“We also have classes to train subs and slaves, with their Doms of course, so that they can have happy and healthy relationships.”
“Just what I need in my life, three alpha fucking males, who not only are Doms, but run a club, and train other, alpha fucking males.” She could not believe it.
* * * *
“It’s not all about dominance, Tia.” Sam wanted to try to explain to her so that she would understand the kind of lifestyle they lived and how they wanted her in their life to complete them.
“If I agree to a relationship with the three of you, do you expect me to be your slave? If it is what you expect from me, we might as well not even try to start anything. I was married to a man for a number of years that treated me like that. I won’t go back to that for anyone. I’m not a punching bag for anyone!” Sam could see that Tia was struggling to hold back her angry tears, but one slipped down her cheek, and she quickly brushed it away.
Dan could see that she was starting to panic. Her breathing was becoming faster, and she was starting to shake.
He didn’t want to get her anymore worked up, so he continued with the explanation.
“No, sweetling, we don’t want a slave. If fact, it will take an exceptionally strong woman to take on all three of us. But we do need to have control in the bedroom. We would never do anything to hurt you or cause you pain, but there will be times that you might feel uncomfortable in the beginning, with something that one of us is doing to you, and we won’t just let you give up. We will stretch your boundaries, baby.”
“You’re talking as if we are going to have a relationship. What if I can’t be—what you want in the bedroom?”
* * * *
Tia was getting more and more aroused as the conversation continued.
Dan walked over to the door and clicked the lock in place, and then he walked to the connecting door between Tia’s and Shay’s rooms and did the same thing, the sound of the last lock clicking into place made Tia’s heart start to race faster than it already was.
Ryder climbed up farther on the bed and leaned against the headboard, pulling her back against him as he whispered in her ear, “Oh, baby, we think you are exactly what we need. You just haven’t found the right partners to bring that side to the forefront. You’ve always had to be the one in control in your relationship, but now we are going to show you how giving up control in the bedroom will bring you pleasure like you�
�ve never dreamed.”
Sam had moved slowly onto the bed and had started to pull her socks off and kiss the instep of her right foot. Tia had never realized what an erogenous zone it was until he started do that.
Dan stood at the side of the bed and looked down at her through hunger-filled eyes, slowly unbuttoning his shirt as he watched his brothers start to undress Tia.
“You’ve never had three men make love to you before, have you, baby?” Ryder kissed down the side of her neck, nipping at her shoulder as he pulled her T-shirt over her head. “Just lay back and relax. Let us do all the work.”
Tia watched as Dan removed his shirt. She knew they were all really well built, but damn his chest was gorgeous. Completely devoid of hair, it looked smooth and soft yet the muscles underneath she knew would be strong and solid. She had been so impressed by Dan’s chest that she barely noticed Sam undoing her jeans and slipping them off her legs. She was glad that she had decided, after her divorce, to start buying and wearing only sexy matching panties sets. She had always worn “practical” underwear during her marriage. Maybe in part because it made James lose interest in sex when he started to undress her.
Today she had chosen her new red bra and thong panty set. It made her feel wicked and sexy.
Sam sat, fully dressed, between her legs and just looked at her.
“You are the sexiest woman I have ever laid my eyes on, baby girl. And wouldn’t you know it that red is my favorite color.”
Ryder’s hands moved smoothly down over her shoulders and around the sides of her breasts to cup them in his hands as if offering them to his brothers.
“Look at these breasts.” He smiled and moved to the front closure to snap it open. The bra was left on and it clung precariously to her overly sensitive nipples.
All of the men were still partially dressed. They’d taken off their shirts but still had their jeans on. This left Tia feeling very vulnerable and small. She wanted to see all of them naked. She wanted to feel their skin against hers.
