“I have. My woman is not going anywhere until you say otherwise.”
She didn’t talk. Her gaze remained on the ceiling even as Andy’s fingers stroked her where they lay on her hip. She’d forgotten how strong he actually was. They’d not been this close in some time.
The bed dipped, and she found Damon staring down at her. He’d moved from the chair in the corner. “I’m not going to take your husband away. Andy is not going anywhere.”
His words hit her hard. How could she believe him? Yesterday she’d caught her husband going down on him. How was she to believe that kicking her out next wasn’t on the list of things to do?
“I’m not going anywhere, babe. I could never leave you. I would never want to leave you at all.”
She felt her lip quiver as emotion swamped her. This was not what she’d been expecting.
“I’ve got to get up and do some breakfast. The ranch hands need to eat.” She struggled in Andy’s arms. He held her tight refusing to let go.
“You don’t need to go anywhere. The ranch hands didn’t make it in. The snow fell thick and fast last night. We’re all alone on the ranch,” Damon said. “We can do this all day and night.”
Letting out a breath, she stared at Damon.
“You’re a submissive.”
“What?”
“While we’ve been waiting for you to wake up, Andy’s been telling me all about you. He was your first man.”
Her cheeks heated at his words. “There’s no shame in being your Dom’s first.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“From the moment we first met I knew you were a submissive at heart. You bowed your head and took orders. There’s a part of you that needs, craves to be controlled.” Damon took her hand.
She hated how nice his hand felt over hers.
What’s wrong with me?
Meredith wanted to scream at the unfairness of it all. The man who was taking her husband away but not taking her husband away gave her comfort when she really didn’t want it. She was so confused.
“Don’t fight it. I’m not going to let you go or to hide from what I can give you,” Damon said.
“Listen to him, honey. He’s not going to do anything you don’t want. I won’t let anyone hurt you.” Andy kissed the side of her face.
Fight this.
She didn’t want to fight all the time.
“I’m just going to come out and say it, Meredith. I can see you’re struggling with the fight.” Damon cupped the side of her face. Tears sprang to her eyes at the unfairness of it all. “I’m a Dom, baby. Andy is a Switch. He can be either a Dom or a submissive, but you, honey, you’re a submissive deep down inside. Do you know what I’m saying?”
Meredith bit her lip. She knew what they were saying. Over the years she’d seen other couples in a similar lifestyle, and she wasn’t blind to the media either. BDSM was all the rage at the moment.
“I know what it means.” She forced the words out even though she wanted to keep them to herself. Her love life with Andy had been wonderful even when something had been missing. Neither of them could satisfy the other’s craving.
“Let her go,” Damon said.
Andy’s arms went lax, and she struggled to sit up. The blanket fell to her waist. She didn’t try to cover herself as she looked at Damon. He hadn’t moved away either. Andy sat up in bed. He was wearing clothes as well.
“Did you wake up before me?”
“Breakfast is waiting for you downstairs.” Damon took one of her hands in his. “We didn’t want to give you a moment to escape. We’re going to handle this, and then we’re going to see where this goes.”
“I need to go to the bathroom.” She wanted to get away from them. The more they touched her, the harder it was for her to resist them.
Damon tugged the blanket off her. He didn’t release her hand at all. She tried to pull away, but he kept holding onto her. He helped her to the door. “We’ll give you privacy.”
She closed the door and faced her reflection in the mirror. Her pulse was hammering in her chest and throat. Easing a hand between her thighs she felt the heat pooling there. She was slick to the touch. Two men she should hate were wrecking her mind and body.
Give them a chance to explain.
Shaking her head, she went to the toilet. When she was finished she washed her hands, brushed her teeth, and combed her hair. The bathroom was small and didn’t have all the facilities for an adult. She’d kitted the room out yesterday for all of her things.
“We’re waiting for you, Meredith.” Damon’s voice came through the door.
Another wave of arousal hit her. The negligee she was wearing showed off her hard nipples. The negligee was a gift from Andy last Christmas. She loved the feel of the silk against her body. No, she shouldn’t be doing this.
Opening the door, she stopped as Damon leaned against the doorframe. His arms were folded displaying the thick coils of muscle she loved to look at.
“What’s going on?” she asked.
“We’ve decided you can’t get dressed today. We think you’ll be more willing to listen and less likely to run off with your negligee than fully clothed. The ranch is pretty big, and we’re not into playing hide and seek today,” Damon said.
She turned to look at Andy. “Are you being serious? Why are you letting him take control over everything?”
“He knows what he’s talking about, baby. We need him more than anything.” Andy got up off the bed and walked toward her. Meredith didn’t turn away from him. She kept her gaze on him not wanting to move away. He cupped her cheeks, and she covered his hands with her own. “I love you, Meredith, with all my heart and soul.” He dropped a kiss to her lips. “I’ll do whatever it takes to make you understand what you saw yesterday.”

Damon watched Meredith eat feeling his cock harden at the sight. Her lips were lovely and plump, and he could imagine those lips wrapped around his shaft, giving him everything he desired. Pushing the thoughts away, he finished eating his food, waiting for the perfect moment to start her training. He’d talked with Andy this morning, and the other man agreed to take the lead immediately and to be the Dom for them. Andy didn’t really have a choice. There was not much choice for Andy as he was already craving the need to submit. Damon had never met two people in such need of guidance before. It was like Creek Valley was destined to be his resting place.
Once again he pushed his thoughts to the back of his mind. They were selfish, and the only way he’d be sticking around to be with Andy and Meredith, would be if they both agreed for him to be with them. If either one of them wanted him gone, he’d leave. He wasn’t prepared to be somewhere he wasn’t welcome.
Turning his gaze to Meredith he admired the length of her body. The white negligee Andy had bought her last Christmas showed her body off to perfection. The curves he saw made him want to get his hands on her. Was her skin as soft to the touch as it looked? He didn’t know, but he wanted to find out.
Her dark red nipples were clearly highlighted through the thin material. When he’d first seen the negligee Andy picked out, Damon had found it rather bland. He knew plenty of places that would have designs far more perfect. Looking at her now, he saw the beauty in the plainness. Meredith was beautiful and didn’t need anything more to make her shine.
She finished her breakfast, pushing the plate away and covered her mouth with a napkin. Her silence gave him hope. He also noticed her hand no longer shook as she reached for her coffee.
“Do you have questions?” Damon asked, turning to face her fully. His cock was aching to get out of the jeans. He wanted her naked, and Andy had given him permission to do what he wanted with Meredith, so long as Andy could watch and participate. In the early stages of their newfound relationship, he needed to find the correct guidelines among them all. Meredith was still new to this, as was Andy. Damon intended to take it slow until they were all comfortable together. Only when they were all
ready would he take over and be their Dom.
“Why was Andy, doing, erm, what he did to you yesterday?” she asked. Her cheeks were aflame.
Had she been repulsed by what she saw? Or merely heartbroken with fear he was going to replace her?
He didn’t know the answers to his questions. Damon was determined to do everything in his power to find out what made her tick.
“Why was Andy sucking my cock?”
She nodded, glancing down at her hands.
“No, you don’t get to look down, Meredith. I want your eyes focused on me at all times.” He got up from his seat to take the one right next to her. Damon turned her chair to face him. Placing a finger under her chin, he looked into her eyes. “I’m a Dom, Meredith. You know what that means, and you’re from Creek Valley, so you know other couples are in the lifestyle as well.”
She nibbled her lip, making him want to take over and nibble it for her.
“Are you going to take Andy away?”
“I wouldn’t go, baby,” Andy said.
Damon glared at the other man. “You’ve given me your permission to lead, Andy. We’re going to do this properly, which means I’m in charge at all times unless Meredith decides differently.”
“You can’t talk to him like that!” Meredith glared at him, defending her man.
Her defending Andy was cute, but he had a better idea. Tugging her out of the chair, he placed her over his knee, pushed the fabric up her back and her panties down, exposing her ass. He wasn’t going to get anywhere with them all fighting. Every person within the lifestyle needed to be handled a different way. Meredith and Andy were not that different. Damon raised his hand and landed three swats to her rump. Her pale flesh instantly reddened. The moment the first spank hit, Meredith stopped struggling. She cried out, but he also detected the guttural moan that left her lips at the same time. The scent of her pussy drifted up to him. He landed another two to her rump before sitting her back down on her seat.
Her face was flaming, but she didn’t say another word. The silence in the room was tense. He looked toward Andy to see his mouth hanging open and the obvious evidence of his cock outlined through his pants.
“Are you wet, Meredith?” he asked.
She opened her mouth, closed it, and then opened it once again.
“Answer the question.”
He kept his gaze on Andy.
“Yes.”
Her voice was small, yet they both heard her response.
“You’re a submissive. I’m a Dom, and Andy is a Switch, which means he can be both. Now, I’m attracted to both of you. I’ve no intention of breaking up your marriage at all. I’m willing to give you both what you need and get what I want in return. It was never my intention to come between the two of you. I saw what you both needed, and I couldn’t live with the way you were both destroying one another. Something had to stop.” He looked between either of them. “Andy was sucking my cock because I ordered him to. I’ve listened to both of you getting emotional and upset. A good Dom does not make his submissive cry tears of pain, Meredith. Andy doesn’t know what he’s doing. This suggestion does not come out of the blue. You’ve lived in Creek Valley, and I’ve got fucking eyes. I see the truth in this town. We can make this work together, all three of us.”
He stopped, sitting back and letting his words sink in. Neither of them spoke up.
“If you want me to leave then tell me. I won’t come back, and you’ll have to deal with whatever is missing from your life. I’m not going to stick around listening to you both hurting each other because you can’t give each other what you fucking want.” Damon stood, slamming his hand down on the wooden table. “Figure shit out because I know the cure for both of you. I’m going to check on the horses, and I’ll be back within the hour. We’ve not got long, and the ranchers will be coming back to work. I’d like to get everything worked out before them.”
Grabbing his coat from the back of the door he headed out into the cold. He went to the new stable where the horses were happily eating. The stable was heated enough to keep them happy. Sitting down on the chair, Damon wondered what his future was going to be. His cock was rock hard, and he wanted to be inside Meredith or Andy. He refused to be a home wrecker. If they didn’t want him then he wasn’t going to burden them with his presence. There was only so much he could do to help the couple.
They’re more than just a couple.
Damon knew in the last year Andy and Meredith had come to mean more to him than a means to an end. He could have fixed his bike months ago, but he’d held off completing it so he had a reason to stick around.
Little by little over the last year he’d started to fall in love with both Andy and Meredith.
Chapter Three
Staring at Damon’s retreating shape, Andy wondered what to do. Meredith was breathing deeply, and her gaze was also on where Damon had left. What he’d just witnessed was fucking hot. He wanted more, but his love for Meredith meant more than what he wanted.
“I love you, Meredith. I’ve loved you from the first moment I laid eyes on you.” She turned to look at him. Tears had filled her eyes. She reached out to him, holding his hand.
“I don’t know what to do, Andy. I love you so much. What has happened to us?” Meredith wiped away the tears.
Tugging on her hand, he wrapped his arms around her waist and settled her into his lap. “Nothing has happened to us.”
“Damon’s right. The last few months we’ve been a mess. I mean, you would get angry because I couldn’t order you around. Everything he says is true.”
He held on tighter not wanting to say anything to risk their conversation. This was their first real talk since their love life had started to decline.
“I can’t let him leave,” she said, turning toward him.
Staring into her eyes, he saw the yearning. He’d been the first man between her thighs, and the only person he wanted to touch and taste her was Damon. The only man Andy wished to share Meredith with was Damon. Running his fingers up the inside of her thigh, he moved the line of her panties out of the way. He felt her soaked core. She’d covered her panties with cream.
Meredith gasped, arching into his touch.
“What he did to you turned you on?”
“Yes. Do you hate me?”
He shook his head. “Never. I know you, baby. We can’t fight this. This is who we are.”
“I don’t want to ruin our marriage. What if it ruins who we are?” she asked.
“I understand your fear. Damon isn’t going to take one of us away from the other. We’re going to explore what we’ve got together.” With his free hand, he held the back of her neck, drawing her closer. “I don’t want him to leave. I want us both to have everything we desire. I’ve hated the pain I’ve caused you. I love you. You’re my life, and that was never a lie. When I made my vows to you, I meant every word.”
“But I can’t give you what you need,” she said, stroking a hand down his chest.
“No, you can’t. I can’t give it to you either, baby. Not all the time and not properly.”
She bit her lip, staring at Andy. He saw there was something else on her mind. “What’s the matter? You can talk to me.”
“I have feelings for Damon. I don’t know what they are, but I know I feel something for him.” She covered her mouth.
His hand was still pressed against her core. He stroked a finger across her clit. “He doesn’t make you feel anger.”
“No,” she said, shaking her head.
“And you find him attractive. Do you want to fuck him?”
She opened her eyes. “I don’t know.”
Andy sometimes forgot about the ten years between them. She was still new to a lot of things.
“I want to fuck him, Meredith. I want to know what it feels like to have him inside me.” He stroked her clit, watching her face to see if she was as excited as him. She was. “Do you know what else I’d love to see?”
“No.”
“I’d love to see him fucking you. I know how much you love to be fucked hard, baby. I’m the only man you’ve been with, but imagine both me and Damon, touching you, tasting you.”
She moaned.
“Tell me what you want?”
“I want him, Andy. Both of you.”
“You can have both of us.” He removed his hand, refusing to let her come.
“Why did you stop?” she asked.
“We need to find him and show him what we want.”
“Andy, wait.” She grabbed his arm, stopping him from leaving. “What if it ruins us?”
Stroking her lip, he gazed down into her eyes. “I’d never let it. I’ll be back.”
She nodded and let him go. Staring at her, he only broke eye contact as he shut the door behind him. He headed toward the old stable first. When he saw that was clear, he went to the new one. He found Damon sat staring at the horses.
“Have you come to read me the marching orders?” Damon asked.
“No, Meredith wants to make this work. She’s scared, but I think we both can help her.” Andy felt the excitement jumping along his veins. He wanted to scream his happiness from the rooftops. Instead, he stood waiting for Damon to say something.
“She’s not saying what you wish to hear, is she?”
“I wouldn’t let her do that. Meredith is a lot of things, but she wouldn’t lie about this.”
Damon stood. “I’ll be the one to make sure she’s ready. I’m not going to rush inside and fuck her, Andy. This relationship takes time and trust.”
“I know that.”
“Good. Nothing is going to happen today, so you can put your dick away for now.” Damon passed him. Disappointment swamped Andy at the thought of not getting anything. He also saw the reasoning behind Damon’s point.
Entering the house he saw Meredith sat at the table waiting for them. He watched as Damon went to her. Closing the door he saw Damon pull her in close.
“Thank you for trusting me, honey. I’ll do everything I can to earn your trust back.”
She looked at him, confused.
