  I came as he slid a finger inside of me, thumbing my clit at the same time. I screamed, rocking forward as Brent held me close. He peppered me with soft kisses, and I moaned as I felt warm breath between my thighs. I looked down to see Brandon’s eyes watching me as he covered me with his mouth, tracing me with his tongue. “Brandon…oh God. I’ve never…” my voice trailed off as he sucked me between his lips, focusing on my sensitive clit and bringing me to another orgasm as I cried out. I closed my eyes and breathed, feeling better than I ever had. This was wrong, me being involved with my supervisors but it felt so right. The guys moved to either side of me, and I felt a mouth cover my right nipple, working it with teeth and tongue before a hand slid down between my legs to touch me again. Oh, God. I was coming again, and I never wanted to stop as lips covered mine.

  We woke up to the alarm, and I blinked in the dim room. Where was I? I felt the warmth surrounding me and looked to see Brent and Brandon sleeping beside me in boxers as everything came back to me. The conference. Mazatlán. The way they made me feel when we were all together, making me blush and reach over Brent for the alarm. He opened one eye and gazed into my face for a long moment. “Are you okay with what happened?” His voice was soft in the quiet room as I pressed myself against him. I nodded. “I won’t…we won’t go further if you don’t want us to.”

  “I want to,” I assured him as I pressed a soft kiss to his neck, hearing him moan softly. His skin was soft and smelled so masculine as he slid an arm around me. I kissed down his chest slowly with uncertainty as he whispered for me not to stop. My mind went over everything that happened between the three of us, and I thought about how turned on they both must be. I circled his small nipple with my tongue as I slid my hand into his shorts, gripping him.

  “Jane,” he choked, sliding his hand down to cover mine. “You don’t have to.”

  “Guide me,” I told him as he covered my hand and stroked me over him slowly. He was thick and long, making me wonder how this would ever fit inside of me. I stroked him, first gently and then hard, feeling his breath quicken before he jerked forward and warmth flooded our hands as he choked out my name.

  The alarm went off again, and Brandon stirred as he rolled towards me. He wrapped me in his arms, feeling me pressed against Brent as his hand slid lazily down my side.

  We stayed together every night, taking things just a little bit further every day. The last night is when I knew that I was ready since I’d fallen madly for these men in the short time that we’d known each other. They played my body skillfully before Brent slipped into me for the first time, slow and gentle so I could adjust to him. Brandon stroked my skin as I moaned and whimpered, pinching my nipple once I was ready for Brent to move. Before I went to sleep, I felt Brandon inside of me, gentle so he wouldn’t hurt me. “So wet. So tight. So fucking beautiful,” he told me as he moved above me, kissing me gently. “You’re ours, Jane.”

  “Yours,” I agreed as I came for him, feeling him still inside of me before jerking. I had no idea how this was going to work out yet, but I loved these men. I loved them both and as unconventional as that was, it was the truth. Brandon’s words to me only assured me yet again that they felt the same. We planned on a lot of nights at my apartment while we worked through this new situation and some private time in the office until we could sort through that, keeping our relationship under the radar.

  I landed in New York with a smile on my face, ready to take this on. I was ready to love these men the best that I could, showing them all my feelings along the way.

  The day I lost my parents changed everything.

  Thankfully, I found a soft place to land.

  But when I grew up and moved away,

  I couldn’t get him out of my head.

  Now, I’m all grown up, he’s single, and we’re both willing.

  CHAPTER 1

  Boyce

  I watched her blonde hair swaying above me as she moved easily, smiling easily. It was late and dark in my room, but the moon was shining through the open window that overlooked the Chesapeake Bay just outside of the window. The breeze was cool as Nora moved and slipped me deeper inside of her.

  Nothing felt like Nora. No woman ever felt like Nora and I remembered when we met at a dance club when we were both in our twenties. I’d dated before then and so had she, but we connected immediately. Her pale blonde hair and dark green eyes struck me immediately, and we spent the entire night together as well as the following six months before I proposed to her.

  I played back the past as I gripped her hips and rose to thrust into her slowly, memorizing the feeling of her body wrapped tightly around me. I’d never stop loving this woman, and I closed my eyes as she moaned my name and scraped her nails down my bare chest. Nora came first, and I followed, filling her with my seed as we both moaned. I rose up, burying my cock inside of her as she draped her body over me, her full breasts pressing against my damp skin as I stroked her back.

  “I love you,” I told her as she sighed happily and rolled beside me, keeping an arm securely around me.

  “I love you.” Her voice was soft and sweet, and she pressed her lips to my shoulder.

  I drifted back to sleep, holding her close and letting the sound of the wind and water lull me back to sleep.

  I woke up alone, reaching for Nora as I looked around. She was gone and the reality that she had been for four years now hit me like a train. I sighed and closed my eyes as I listened to the sounds of giggling girls downstairs in the kitchen, talking to my chef, Anne.

  Bella was my ten-year-old daughter with Nora and Viv was her best friend. They were the same age, but Vivian lost her parents in a tragic car accident six months ago and had no remaining family to take her in. I knew how Bella would have felt leaving her home after her mom died at six, so I stepped in with a team of lawyers and ultimately adopted Vivian within a few months of the accident. It was easy when you were the CEO of one of the most successful businesses in Maryland and you had a staff to take care of every need the kids had. We lived on the bay in the same house that I bought with Nora after we were married for a few years and my business was taking off.

  The house was a sprawling five-bedroom ranch style home with a large living room, a screened in porch and a lot of grass outside to run around on. It was a perfect place to grow up in and the girls seemed happy most of the time. Vivian had her days where she missed her family, but Bella was great with her and they kept each other going.

  I rose and went into the master bathroom, brightly lit from all the windows, and rubbed my eyes. I looked tired. I’d felt tired since losing Nora to breast cancer, realizing that I was a single father from now on. Thank God for the staff that I had to help me out as I kept my business going. I brushed my teeth and pulled on some shorts and a t-shirt to go downstairs, feeling years older than my thirty-seven years.

  I walked down the side stairs and smelled bacon and coffee, inhaling deeply. Anne made a great breakfast and it was the weekend, so I was going to enjoy it. I walked into the large kitchen to see the woman standing at the breakfast nook where the girls were eating, laughing with them.

  “Good morning,” I greeted the three of them as Anne turned to smile at me, her face wrinkled with the warmth of it.

  “Good morning, Boyce. Would you like some coffee?” She was already walking towards the pot and I nodded as she poured a c
up and slid it across the marble counter to me. I loved the coffee that she bought at the little shop in town and sipped it gratefully as I glanced at Bella and Viv. My daughter was blonde like her mother though she had my light green eyes and beautiful just like Nora. Viv was a redhead with mischievous blue eyes and a bright smile when she wasn’t feeling sad. They were talking closely as they ate the bacon and eggs that Anne cooked, making me realize just how close they were. Bella met Viv in Kindergarten and they had been inseparable ever since then.

  I fixed a small plate of food and took it to the small table that overlooked my yard, taking in the bright sun and cool breeze outside. Bella came over to give me a long hug and I kissed her hair as I asked her how she was doing today. Bella told me that she was great, and I asked her if she wanted to go for a walk after I was finished eating.

  Bella clapped and told me yes as she ran over to tell Viv, and they brought their plates to the sink to rinse them off before running upstairs to the large room that they shared. I put two full-size bed in there for them as well as everything they needed for storage and they also had a play room with a television and about a million activities to do.

  “They’re going to love that. It’s beautiful out today,” Anne remarked as I nodded and took another sip of my coffee. We talked about the house and just the day-to-day stuff going on, since I had a nanny that handled the girls most of the week. I was a very active part of my business and spent a lot of time there, partly because I liked the distraction but also because I liked to see what was going on there. I was always a hard worker and Nora was the one that stayed home and handled everything. I made sure that we had our time together alone as well as time as a family even with all my hours at work.

  It didn’t feel like enough once she was gone.

  I slipped my feet into heavy sandals and walked out onto the back porch that wasn’t screened, looking around as the wind blew Fall closer towards us. I was looking forward to it though I was a little nervous about the holidays. It would be Vivian’s first Thanksgiving and Christmas alone and I wanted to make it perfect for both her and Bella. Anne was helping me plan but I couldn’t help but worry for the little girl. Our first Christmas without Nora was damn near impossible.

  I heard the French doors open and glanced over to see the girls running over, dressed in leggings and sweatshirts. It was a bit cool outside and I always reminded them it was better to have a sweater than not to once we were too far from the house. We headed off the porch and walked across the grass towards the water as I breathed in the cool air. It was gorgeous out here and the reason we built our home at the end of the stretch of land, one of the first homes ever built. I looked around, content with the fact that the houses were close enough if we needed help but also far enough to offer a little privacy. I just missed Nora so much and I looked ahead to the girls, telling myself to focus on them. Life happens for a reason and perhaps this was it.

  They both giggled and took off running towards the water as I told them to be careful. The outdoor element of the house seemed to help all of us though the harder times and I appreciated it. I watched as they played on the small strip of beach, sitting down at the edge of the grass as laughter and the sound of seagulls filled the air.

  CHAPTER 2

  Vivian

  I appreciated Bella and her father Boyce for taking me in. Losing my parents was one of the hardest things that I’d ever had to go through and it was good to know that I’d be staying with people that were the second-best thing to my own family.

  I knew that my parents left behind enough for me financially since we discussed that. Boyce had everything handled, but he was also rich, and I knew that he wouldn’t let anything bad happen to me. I was like his own daughter with all the time I spent with Bella and living with her sometimes felt like an extended sleepover.

  We tackled the first holidays with the help of their chef Anne. She planned on cookie making afternoons on the weekends and along with Boyce, took us to the pumpkin patch and every Fall festival that he could fit in. I spent my first Thanksgiving alone with their family, missing my parents so much that I only made it halfway through dinner before excusing myself to my room.

  Christmas was bigger, and they pulled out everything to distract me from my pain. We picked out a huge Christmas tree and they brought out some of my family ornaments to decorate it with. We had a small family dinner that night and I watched with big eyes as Bella played with her cousins around the tree. She had a total of three aunts and uncles that came over, siblings of both her parents. I remembered when her mom died and how sad Bella was and tried to participate. I looked across the room to see Boyce watching me closely as he sat with his father on the couch. He offered me a small smile and I felt warmth rush through me as I smiled back. Boyce didn’t make the holiday about expensive gifts for us. He made it more about traditions and I carried just a few gifts up to my bedroom at the night’s end, ready to go to sleep for several hours.

  The years flew by in that house and I thought of it as home quickly after I moved in. Bella became my sister and Boyce became something of a father figure to me. When I was little that took one form, but as I got older, I noticed how attractive that he was for his age.

  I wasn’t stupid, either. Boyce didn’t date anybody seriously, but I heard the women in his room when Bella wasn’t home. I heard the things they did and the cries they let out from my room downstairs. He was active, but I never seemed to see or hear the same woman twice. I never mentioned it to Bella. She was busy with friends and her drama class, always in a new play or performance. Bella was the bubbly, outgoing one out of the two of us and she threw herself into activities once we started middle school.

  I was the quiet one. I focused on my studies and enjoying the home that I now called my own. It was so beautiful here and I took every chance to prowl the property and find new places to take time to think. I made a few friends in class and we’d hang out sometimes, but I held most things in for Bella. She was everything to me. We might be different, but we were as close as sisters and made Sunday our day. We’d make breakfast and hang out and watch movies or go shopping. She usually had that time free until the afternoon when she had to go to practice or a performance and there were times that I’d go along with her to watch.

  It was a great life to have as good as it could be considering the circumstances.

  I was in middle school and had met an older boy that was a sophomore in high school. Dean fascinated me and took me out to the movies and dinner in his car since he’d skipped a grade and was driving early. It was fun and there was something about it that felt forbidden as we dated sneakily even though my entire school was talking about it. Bella told me to be careful as she kept flirting with the same boys in our grade and for the first time, I felt like I was more powerful than she was. It was exhilarating.

  I came home from school one afternoon, ready to study for a test that I’d ignored the night before to see Dean. He was pushing me for sex and I told him no that I wasn’t ready yet. I had a feeling that we’d be ending soon, and I walked inside of the house and headed for the stairs. “Vivian.” I heard Boyce’s voice and paused, recognizing the serious tone that it held. “I need to talk to you.”

  “Okay,” I agreed as I turned and walked to his office, located off the den that Bella and I used to watch TV sometimes. He watched me walk inside and sit down as he took a seat on the sofa beside me. “Is everything okay?”

  “I heard that you’re seeing Dean James. Is that true?” I stared at him with wide eyes, seeing the displeasure on his handsome face. Boyce was in his forties now and looked good but right now he looked like he was in pain.

  “Yeah. I like him. He’s more mature than the other boys at school.” I held my head high, trying to pretend that I wasn’t scared.

  “Vivian, he’s in high school and you haven’t even graduated the eighth grade. That is too much of an age difference and…he could hurt you. Your parents would never forgive me if I didn’t step
in and stop this.” I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest, feeling stubborn as I remained silent. “Has he hurt you?”

  “No. He’s good to me.” I remembered the night before and the growing pressure that he’d been placing on me lately and my shoulder slumped forward slowly.

  “I need you to end things with him. Just be a girl enjoying her life. Don’t rush things.” I looked at Boyce, seeing how weary his ocean blue eyes were as he touched my shoulder. “I already have Bella to worry about. Between the two of you, I think I’ll be done by the time you both graduate. You’re both growing up so fast now and I can’t believe it.” He looked at me for a long moment and I smiled softly at him. “You’re both great and I know that there are amazing lives for both you girls just waiting. Keep that in mind.”

  It suddenly clicked in my mind why I gave in to Dean’s advances at the pizza place after school. Boyce was an older man that I looked up to so much, and I wanted to have that in another form. It felt good when Dean kissed me and touched me. I wondered now if it was something that I wanted from Boyce but quickly pushed the thought away. He was like my father. Even though we had no blood relation, he was a father figure to me and I couldn’t think this way about him. I blamed the fact that he saved me from the pain of not having a home years ago and touched his hand on my shoulder. “Okay, I will. I won’t see him again.” The heat that passed between us was intense and unexpected, making me gasp as he pressed his full lips together.
