Barred

  Jonathon stands beside her as he addresses the crowd. “I think they both said everything that needed to be said. Either you stand with us or against us, but my day will come when the Lord calls me home. If he disagrees with what I am doing, then I shall be judged then. I hope you all have a safe journey home and a Merry Christmas.”

  Emerson leads Kimberly down the hall of the room they just gave their speech in. He rubs the small of her back as Jonathon follows behind them. “You did wonderful, babe,” Jonathon says from behind her.

  “I was so nervous,” she utters still shaking a bit from the nerves.

  “You did amazing. Now let’s get you home and naked,” Emerson jokes, waggling his eyebrows.

  A week later, Kimberly is sitting on the couch nestled right between her two favorite men. They are snuggled up watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas while they exchange their gifts. Emerson smiles as she pulls out another gift certificate for a day at the spa. She doesn’t know what it is about that man but he surely does like to pamper her, but not only does he pamper her… he makes sure Sarah is taken care of too. Once they found out that her tumor was back, the guys had been there to help in any way that they could. It only seemed to make Kimberly love them more. Jonathon had gotten a call from Adrian to say that she knew for sure that it wasn’t his child and that she was sorry for trying to tell him it was. Kimberly tried to act like she wasn’t disappointed when she’d opened a box from Jonathon and it was a necklace. She wasn’t getting any younger and she’d really like to be married with a child soon.

  After all the presents were unwrapped and shared, Emerson lifts Kimberly into his lap earning a huge belly laugh from her as she straddles him. “Why don’t you go put on that new little ensemble Jonathon got for you?” He asks in a voice full of desire.

  “Or I could save that for later and just get naked now.”

  “Yes. I’ll take option number two,” Jonathon laughs as he slides his pajama pants down his legs. He stands in front of her as she pulls her nightgown over her body. She learned to stop putting on panties about two weeks ago because they just got ripped off of her anyway. She couldn’t help but smile as she noticed how both of her guys were staring at her. It was a turn on and a very good feeling to be wanted so badly by two men that could grace the cover of any magazine.

  “Turn around,” Emerson demands of her, picking her up. As she stands, he lifts his hips, pulling his pajamas down with him.

  “Kimberly,” Jonathon calls with a devilish grin on his face.

  “Uh-huh?” She asks as he points just above her head. Right above his hardened cock, he has a piece of mistletoe dangling. “Oh, you are a naughty boy. I think Santa may be leaving you some coal in your stocking,” she says with a smile before leaning in and sucking the tip. Just as she begins to take him deeper into her mouth, she feels Emerson’s hands on her hips. He pulls her down until he is sheathed inside of her warm heat. She moans into Jonathon’s cock as Emerson begins to push in and out of her. She doesn’t know what she ever did to win the hearts of these two men, but she would try to hold onto them forever. Jonathon reaches down and pulls on her hard nipples as Emerson continues to pummel her with his thick member. Just when she is about to explode from the pleasure, both cocks are pulled from her.

  “Turn around,” Jonathon says with a smile. “I want inside my pussy.”

  Kimberly does as she is asked, putting her ass toward Jonathon and her hands on Emerson’s thighs. She leans down to taste herself off of Emerson just as Jonathon slams his cock inside of her. She lets out a loud “ummph” around Emerson’s dick as it is pushed into her throat. The guys kept up their pummeling as they all worked toward the release they all so desperately needed. Just as she was about to explode, Jonathon reached between her thighs and tugged on her clit. She bucked against him as her orgasm shot through her. Just as she was about to pull away from Emerson to moan, she felt the warm liquid of his own release pouring down her throat. She continued to suck him as he erupted into her mouth. Just as she finished licking him, she heard a growl come from deep within Jonathon’s throat. As she turned to look at him, he winked as he slapped her ass cheek.

  “I’m coming,” he moaned as he shot load after load of sperm inside of her. He prayed that one of those tiny little sperm would make its way into her womb and give them all what they so desperately wanted but were too afraid to admit.

  “Let’s go get you cleaned up,” Emerson says, picking her up and carries her to the bathroom. He tenderly washes her between her legs before sliding on one of his t-shirts.

  “Thank you,” she whispers as he kisses her lips softly.

  “No, we should be thanking you,” he murmurs. “We have one more thing for you… it’s on your pillow.”

  Kimberly’s eyes light up as she runs from the bathroom and into the bedroom. She sees on her pillow a small black box. She tries not to get her hopes up in case it isn’t what she’s expecting. She reaches for the box, only to find it empty. She turns to see both of her men in their naked glory, on one knee in front of her.

  “Kimberly Marie Weston,” Jonathon starts it off. “The day you walked into our lives you took us by surprise. You were a whirlwind we never saw coming, but would never trade in a million years.

  “You make us stronger, more complete than ever before. We hope you will wear this ring, and we pray that one day you will become both of our wives,” Emerson continues.

  “Kimberly Weston… will you marry us?” They both ask at the same time as tears run down her face.

  “Yes, a hundred times yes,” she squeals as she runs to the guys. She kisses each of them before they both slide the emerald and diamond two karat white gold ring on her finger. She looks up at the sky and thanks whomever for giving her the one thing she wanted for Christmas. Two men that would love her unconditionally.

  Two years later…

  Kimberly walks toward the two men that have stolen her heart completely. This was not something she ever would have expected when she walked into that law office almost three years ago. After the wild ride though, she wouldn’t have it any other way. She smiles as Sarah waits for her at the makeshift altar in the back of Emerson… well their home now. Emerson is standing beside Jonathon, both of them looking amazing in their black tuxedos. Their friend, Judge Malcolm, standing under the canopy as Kimberly places her flowers into Sarah’s hand.

  “You look beautiful,” Jonathon proclaims as he takes Kimberly’s hands. Boy, did she ever look beautiful. The cream laced dress was flattering to her every curve and her hair was pulled into a low bun with curls sticking out strategically. The sweetheart neckline of her dress accentuated her breasts while the mermaid style gave her ass just the right support it needed to make a statement. She looked at both men before Greg spoke, giving each of them a warm smile. If you’d have asked her three years ago if she thought her life would be where it was, she would have said no, but standing here now, she couldn’t see it any other way.

  “We are gathered here today to witness two people be joined in holy matrimony. May God bless your marriage and a strong covenant be born with you both. Are you ready to say your vows?”

  “I am,” Jonathon and Kimberly say in unison. Her eye catches Emerson, and she can’t help but think how unfair this is to him, even if they all discussed it before. Emerson gives her a hundred watt smile, and it confirms that he meant every word.

  “Kimberly,” Jonathon says with a shaky breath as he looks into her eyes. “I never expected to find you, to have what we have. I never expected to settle down, and hell, I never expected to share my wife with my best friend. But, if I have learned anything at all… it’s that life gives you things you never expect. Most of those things turn into the greatest gifts ever, and you are one of those. I will honor and cherish you until my dying breath. I will also honor and respect you’re covenant to my best friend as well. I love you.”

  Kimberly wipes the tears from her eyes as she gets ready to speak her vows. “Jonathon,”
she says through the sobs. “I love you whole heartedly, and I come to you today to be your lawfully wedded wife. I will honor and cherish you, even when you do stupid things that piss me off. I will remember to talk to you when you do those things, I will make sure you don’t take as many trips as you used to for work. I will be every bit of the best wife I can be to you, until death takes me from you.”

  As she finishes, Jonathon lifts her hand and kisses her thumb. She gives him a huge smile as Greg asks for the rings. Sarah and Emerson both hand over the rings. They repeat the sacred vow as they slide them on their fingers.

  “I know pronounce you husband and wife,” Greg says as he smiles at the couple. “You may kiss your bride.”

  Sarah and Emerson clap as the two kiss. He stands her back up and kisses her cheek. “Now onto your next husband,” Jonathon whispers as he grabs Emerson’s hand and joins them together.

  “Thank you,” Emerson says as he walks over to Kimberly. He stands in front of her and mouths “I love you,” as Greg starts to speak.

  “Again, we are gathered here today to witness this man and this woman, come together in holy matrimony. This ceremony will tie you to each other spiritually, and emotionally. You will both know that in your hearts you are husband and wife.”

  Kimberly smiles as Emerson’s eyes start to gloss over with tears. “I love you,” she mouths as Greg continues to speak about the union between them.

  “Are you ready for your vows?” Greg asks as he looks over the two. If he wasn’t one of their close friends, he would think these people had really lost their marbles; but looking at the three of them, he knew if anyone could do this, it would be Emerson, Jonathon and Kimberly.

  “Kim…” Emerson starts then clears his throat. “Kimberly. I know that this is probably the strangest union between people but I promise to love you and honor you with all that I have. I promise to never come between the union you have made with Jonathon. I promise to give you everything I can and to respect every aspect of your life. I love you and I will live my life trying to make you as happy as possible.”

  Kimberly listens to the words flowing from Emerson’s mouth and can’t help but sob some more. She was lucky enough to have one of these beautiful Adonis’s fall in love with her, but for both. She must have done something right in life to have them both want to be with her.

  “Emerson,” she says through a puff of breath. “I love you more than you could ever imagine. Which is pretty crazy because how can one woman love with so much fierceness,” she lets out a little chuckle as he cracks a smile. “I never expected for this to go where it has, but I would never, and I mean never, change the path I took. You have shown me so much love and compassion, but also how you can be rueful and vengeful in your work. I admire you, and I can’t wait to spend my life with you and by your side.”

  “The rings, please?” Greg says, taking Emerson’s and Kimberly’s rings from Sarah and Jonathon. They repeat their vows as they slide the rings on their fingers. Kimberly looks down at the intricate design sitting on her finger as her heart swells in her chest. Maybe today should be the day she tells them the great news. Both men took much care into getting her a ring that showed their own union to her as well as one to each other. Where they weren’t married to each other, each knew they were a part of the union with her. Her ring was intricately designed to where it looked like one ring but was really two.

  “I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride, Emerson.” Greg says as Emerson wraps his arms around Kimberly’s waist and dips her. His lips brand hers as he stands her back up.

  “I now announce Mrs. Kimberly Phillips-Stanley.” Sarah squeals as her sister glows.

  “Emerson, Jonathon. I have one more surprise for you,” Kimberly says shyly.

  “What?” They both question her at the same time, making Sarah giggle.

  “Congratulations.” Sarah squeals again as she hands them the tiny black and white picture of the baby in Kimberly’s belly.

  Chapter One

  Lucian

  “If I don’t have a date with me tonight, Monique will have her hand on my cock before the first course is finished.” My friend and employee, Aidan Spencer, tries unsuccessfully to hide the smirk on his face at my prediction. Unfortunately, or fortunately, whichever way you want to look at it, we both know I’m right. Monique Chandler is always on the prowl and right now, her sights are set on me…again. Fucking her was one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made recently. No pussy is worth that kind of Hell, especially when it was a sub-par fuck, at best.

  “Yeah, that must be a tough problem to have. I guess I could run interference for you. Do you think she would have her hand on my dick by the end of the evening?”

  I laugh saying, “Be careful what you wish for. That is one bed-hop you might want to rethink. She’s a fucking viper. As much as I want to discuss your future sexual conquests, right now I need a date.”

  “Maybe you should have thought about that before you dumped Laurie last week. You couldn’t put that off until after dinner tonight?”

  I prop my legs on the desk, crossing them at the ankles. “No, Laurie punched her own ticket when she laid down the ultimatum. I grant you, the timing was less than perfect, but I have never caved to threats, and I’m not going to start now. The only thing she gave a damn about anyway was the balance in my bank account.

  “Well, at least you didn’t have to waste a lot of time moving her out of your place. Did she ever actually see the inside of it?”

  I stare at my friend before answering, “You know better.”

  Aidan shakes his head. “I don’t understand that, Luc.”

  “What’s to understand? My home is mine. I don’t intend to spend my life with any of these women, so why complicate things?” Shooting him a smirk, I add, “You’re not exactly playing ‘happy home’ with any of your women, either, so why bust my balls?”

  “There’s a difference between me and you, my friend,” Aidan says. “I’ve actually had women in my home and in my bed. You dated Laurie for months, and she never even walked through your place? Fuck man, how did you even explain that to her?”

  I raise a brow at the question. “I don’t explain myself to anyone, Laurie included. She will have someone else on the hook by the end of the month, anyway.”

  Aidan rocks back in his chair smiling. “I think you are giving yourself too much credit, my man; she will have someone else by the end of the week. Of course, he will probably be well-advanced in years, but if the money is there, I’m sure Laurie can overlook everything else.”

  Smiling at his accurate assessment of Laurie, I nod in agreement because it’s more than fucking true. I mentally brace myself. Damn, this next question is going to hurt. “I really hate to ask, but do you know anyone who would be available to accompany me tonight and not think I’m going to be picking out china with them next week?”

  Aidan looks surprised but recovers quickly. “I know I’m going
to catch Hell for this, but I do know someone. Well, not really a specific someone, but I know a place that can help.”

  Another of Aidan’s whores, just perfect. They are strictly women you keep behind closed doors. “Do explain that statement. If this involves anything that’s going to get me five-to-ten years, I’d rather pass.”

  “Please reserve your judgment until I’m finished. I…um, have on occasion had the need of a date at the last minute. A friend of mine recommended a service that provides dates for executives. It’s mostly college students. I have never had a problem with them.”

  I’m momentarily speechless, which doesn’t happen often. “You mean an escort service, don’t you?” Has he lost his mind?

  “Yes, but it’s not what you think. There is nothing illegal about it. They don’t provide lap dances or sex; it is strictly business. Although, I wouldn’t object to the other things if they wanted to throw that in.”

  “I can just see how this would look if word got out that I had to resort to hiring my dates. Surely, you know of someone else? You go on a different date every night, man.” Now I know where all the dates were coming from. When did he start buying women, for fuck’s sake?

  “Yeah, I know a lot of women Luc, but none who won’t chase you for months after the date. You just got rid of Laurie; I don’t think you want to jump right back in the shark-infested waters so soon. I’m telling you, this is the perfect solution for tonight. I’ll even set it up if you want.”
