Gwen's Lifesavers

by Eileen Green

  “It’s to keep it out of the way. That way we can view the birth without having to keep bothering the mare by moving it aside. It’s always best if we make her comfortable but leave her alone as much as possible. John’s just in there to sooth her.”

  Andrew’s whispered explanation was produced with pride and knowledge.

  “What’s her name?” Gwen asked turning her attention back to the scene before her.

  “Texas Moon. My grandmother was from Texas. She said when Moon was born that she looked like the surface of the moon with all the craters.” He sighed momentarily as if he was remembering something. “The mare is what is known as a few-spotted leopard. She doesn’t have a lot of spots and what she has are smaller than most. The foal’s father, Indian Prince, is a leopard. His spots are more predominant and bigger.”

  “She’s beautiful.” Gwen sighed.

  “She is,” Jake said softly to her other side. “But not as beautiful as you.”

  The familiar feeling of heat rising to her face began, but it wasn’t as strong as it had been several weeks ago. Perhaps she was finely able to accept compliments from them without blushing.

  More of the baby appeared, a little black nose. Gwen held back the squeal that rose within her, knowing she couldn’t disrupt Moon.

  Quietly, they watched the process unfold as within half an hour, the little baby was born and John helped break the sac that enclosed it. It was truly a miracle to behold. They watched patiently as the foal shivered in the cold air after being in such a warm place. Moon rested after being in such a distressful state.

  “Will she be all right?” Jake asked. “She seems pretty exhausted.”

  Gwen giggled. “It’s pretty tiring pushing out something that doesn’t seem like it belongs in your body. I know when Heather was born, I was so tired. I couldn’t wait to get some sleep. I’m sure Moon feels the same way right now.”

  Sensing some hesitation in both men, Gwen glanced first to Jake and then Andrew. Their shadowed faces showing thoughtfulness. Looking back at the horse and baby, she noticed the umbilical cord had been broken and John was placing a cup containing some dark liquid onto the baby’s navel, probably to keep it from getting infected.

  Hands squeezed both sides of her waist. Andrew’s whispered voice made her jump slightly. “Do you want more children, Gwen?”

  Never being one for dating before, she had never imagined herself having any more kids. Now that she was thirty-five with a grown daughter, she didn’t even know if she could get pregnant. With her time with these two hot virile men, she had never thought about it. Glancing back and forth between the two, she knew she wanted their children.

  Nodding her head, she looked into Andrew’s eyes that she knew were the color of a spring sky. “Yes. I want to have your baby.” Then, looking over into Jake’s grass-green eyes, she whispered, “I want to have yours also. I don’t know how all that will work, but yes.”

  “Great. Do you mind if it happens right away?” Gwen could see the blush rise in Jake’s face with his question.

  Smiling, she knew what he was getting at. “Why? Because I’m so old?”

  “You’re not old,” Andrew said, his mouth near her ear. “You’re just right for us. We just thought you might want to have more kids before Heather makes you a grandmother.”

  “But people do that all the time,” she whispered back, stifling the giggle that wanted to burst forth. “I think you guys are afraid of becoming grandfathers before becoming fathers.”

  Lips brushed her neck on the other side of her neck as Jake whispered, “No. We want to see your belly round with our children. We want to witness our children being born.”

  “I want to experience that with both of you also.”

  Trying to contain that tears that threatened to fall, she kissed first Jake and then turned to do the same to Andrew. Then remembering they weren’t alone, she glanced at the man kneeling beside Moon once more. As if Andrew had read her mind, he quietly said, “It’s okay. John and I discussed what will be going on here and he’s fine with it.”

  The man in question looked to be about forty-five years old, though his dark hair was peppered with gray. Looking up at the trio, he winked at them before returning his attention to the new baby who was trying to stand.

  Moon had stood and resituated herself so that she was nudging her little one as it rose up slightly on wobbly legs, trying them out for the first time, falling and trying again, showed that the foal was ambitious with its new life. Finally after about the fifth or sixth time, its legs still shaking, it was able to stand.

  John guided it toward her momma’s teats and Gwen gasped when it slammed its little head into the swollen udder. Moon grunted slightly but nuzzled her baby. The baby found what it was looking for and latched onto a teat and began to nurse heartily. It appeared that baby and mother were doing just fine after the strenuous ordeal.

  Suddenly, exhaustion blanketed Gwen. She wasn’t sure how long they had been standing there, but her legs were sore and her feet hurt from being propped up on the narrow board for so long. Trying to shift, she felt Jake move and then his arm slipped under her knees. Andrew let go and Jake lifted her up against his chest. As he moved through the barn, Gwen thought she’d have to come out and visit here to see the other animals. She felt ashamed that she had been here for weeks but hadn’t even taken the time to discover the rest of her new home.

  The thoughts running through her head soon turned fuzzy as Jake moved out into the cold air toward the house. Taking in the sight of the house on their journey, she noticed that the large expanse of windows in the bedroom didn’t show any light, which she knew she left on before leaving it. The windows were tinted for privacy which comforted her. She would hate to have anyone witness what went on there.

  That was the last thought she had as she laid her head against Jake’s shoulder. Closing her eyes, everything went dark as she drifted off in the arms of one of her men.

  * * * *

  Light streaming in the window woke Jake. Even though he and Andrew hadn’t been working, they had still gotten up at what was their usual time. Jake usually woke up at six a.m. When he was living in his apartment, he would rise and head to the local gym. Here, he had to just go down to the basement where a small part of it had been made into a gym. Andrew, who got up earlier to tend to the workings of the ranch, would join him a little later.

  The sun was never up when he rose so he was a bit discombobulated. Looking over, he found the bed empty and beyond that, the digital clock on the far nightstand was reading ten thirty. Sitting up, he ran his hands down his face, scrubbing the sleep from his eyes.

  Voices drifted in from the closet along with a giggle here and there, drawing him to find out what was going on. Rising from the bed, Jake made his way quietly over to the closet door where he found it slightly ajar. Peeking inside, he found Gwen sitting on the bench that sat in the middle of the good-sized room while Andrew knelt before her trying to slide a multi-color striped sock on her right foot. On her left foot was a red and black checkered sock. Her body was gloriously naked, save the mismatched socks.

  With a lyrical giggle, Gwen pulled her foot back from him. “I can’t wear these. They don’t even match.”

  “But they look sexy on your feet.” Andrew chuckled as he straightened out the toes in each sock. “Besides, it doesn’t matter what you wear in the house. Only Jake and I will see them.”

  “And if I want to go out to look at the baby?” she asked as she watched him.

  “Then you’ll wear a pair of boots. I know the ones you wore last night were too big, but I think later today we’ll go shopping and get you some stuff that you need. We’ll be going back to work in a few days and we’ll need to get you set up with some things. How does that sound?”

  “It sounds good. Can we go to my apartment and get a few more things? There’s a few things I need for my office.”

  “Of course, baby. We can do anything you want,” Andrew said as
he ran his hand up to her thigh. “But I want you to know, that when we go shopping, you will not balk at what we buy for you and you will not fight us when we pay for it all.”

  Jake could see the look of objection in Gwen’s eyes but as she looked at Andrew, she kept quiet. Perhaps she was finally learning that they were going to take care of her.

  Andrew leaned forward and kissed her lips softly and Jake noticed her nipples bead up from such a small, sweet action. Oh, she’s going to give us a run for our money!

  As he pulled away, Andrew smiled at her. “Good girl,” he praised her, most likely noticing her change in attitude.

  Stepping away from the door, Jake decided to leave the two alone and headed to the bathroom. After a quick shower, he emerged into the bedroom with a light blue towel wrapped around his hips.

  Andrew was helping Gwen into a pair of sweatpants as he sat on the edge of the bed. The man had already dressed in jeans and a flannel shirt. Once the pants were on Gwen, she slipped on a sweatshirt over her braless ample breasts.

  Moving in behind her, Jake slipped his arms around her, sliding his hands up the inside of her shirt. Grasping her breasts, he squeezed and kissed her neck. “Good morning,” he murmured. “Did you sleep well?”

  A moan escaped her as she leaned her head back against his chest. “Yes, I did. Did you?”

  “Uh-huh. Very well.” He kissed her neck again before pulling away, regretfully. How he loved her breasts. So full, though a bit saggy. It showed she was a mother and that they were real. Jake hated fake tits. That was one reason he found issues with younger women nowadays. They wanted that perfect body and would pay damn near anything to get it.

  Glancing down at her feet, he smiled and then looked at Andrew, letting him know silently that he had observed his and Gwen’s interaction in the closet. Winking at him, he said, “I’m going to go get dressed and then make us some breakfast. What are the plans for today?”

  Gwen turned and slipped her arms around Jake’s waist, holding him close to her, her head on his still damp chest. He wasn’t expecting her to be the one who answered. “We are going to go see the new baby and then Andrew said we are going shopping. Then we’re going to dinner.”

  A giggle escaped her when Andrew protested, “I didn’t say we’d take you to dinner.”

  Turning her head against Jake’s chest to look at Andrew, Jake felt her smile. “You’re going to make me starve?”

  “Oh, darlin’, you are getting yourself in deep,” Andrew said quietly, trying to school his amusement. “We’re still keeping count of your punishments.”

  “So you keep threatening me. I’m beginning to believe that you are all talk.” She giggled again.

  “Oh, baby, baby, baby,” Andrew chastised as he stood. “Don’t antagonize me. Just for that, tonight, when we get home, we’ll show you just what we’re capable of.”

  Jake felt her tense in his arms, but she wasn’t trying to get away. Her nipples had hardened under her shirt and he could smell her arousal. She was perfect for them. Sassy, yet sexy and willing to try what they were offering her. Murmuring into her hair, “Perfect. You are so perfect.”

  Andrew came to stand behind her. Jake felt the impact of his hand through her body as she winced. “You are perfect for us,” he said as he nuzzled her neck. “I think we’re going to have problems with keeping you in line. I have a funny feeling you are going to be topping from the bottom just to get a rise out of us.”

  Gwen kissed Jake’s chest. “Is that going to be a bad thing?” she asked innocently, a smile on her lips.

  Both Jake and Andrew let out a laugh. “Oh, yeah. We’re going to have some interesting times ahead of us,” Jake said as he looked at the smiling face of his friend behind Gwen.

  “Yes, we are.” Andrew’s amused face was priceless before he continued. “Now, we already have a late start to the day. Why don’t we go out and see your new baby and then go grab some lunch. There is no sense wasting time cooking and cleaning before we go out.”

  “I agree,” Jake responded. “Let me slip on some clothes so we can go see the baby.”

  He laid a kiss on Gwen’s head before releasing her and heading to his own room. She hadn’t asked them to move their belongings into her room yet, so he and Andrew still maintained their own rooms. Slipping into a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, he then followed the duo out to the barn.

  * * * *

  After making sure mother and daughter were doing fine, they trio made their way into Kalispell. Lunch was eaten at a small diner near the fire station Jake and Andrew were stationed out of. They had made a quick trip there to assure their commander that they would be back to work on Friday and to introduce Gwen to the guys they worked with.

  No one made any disparaging comments about her being with both men. In fact, one set of men seemed interested in the dynamics of their relationship. When they were ready to leave, everyone welcomed her into their small family of firefighters and paramedics.

  Jake and Andrew had already explained that they were a family since they spent so much time together at work. A lot of times they did things together away from the station also.

  It was midafternoon before they began to hit the stores at the mall after running by her apartment. The guys had told her all her clothes were way too conventional for her and if she was going to be working at a BDSM club, even as a secretary, she needed to dress a little more her age and sexier.

  Gwen hadn’t taken offense to their words. It was just in the past, most of the time her clothes came from a thrift shop so she could afford to provide for her daughter and put a roof over their heads. She had never been embarrassed by her outward appearance and she knew the men weren’t belittling her for it. Knowing that they wanted to take care of her and spoil her touched her heart immensely.

  Pride actually consumed her that she didn’t balk at anything they chose for her or how much they were spending. She knew they were showering her with love and that’s all she wanted from them, although she knew they wanted to show her as much as they told her.

  While they dined at the Tipsy Tavern, enjoying Ray and Siobhan’s company for a bit, Gwen found it hard to keep from wriggling in her seat. Andrew’s threat of what was going to happen once they got home weighed on her mind and she was looking forward to it.

  She had enjoyed the flogging she got while at the club in Denver and she wanted more of it. These two men were opening up a new world to her and she was going to embrace it with open arms. She would accept everything they gave to her, letting them push her limits. Gwen Bowers had missed out on a lot in her lifetime due to one mistake and she wasn’t going to let that keep her down anymore.

  A hand settled on top of hers as she heard her name repeated a second time with a bit more strength behind it. Looking to her right, she faced Andrew, who was looking at her with concern. “Baby, Siobhan asked you a question.”

  Looking to her left where the Irish beauty was sitting, Gwen blushed, smiling. “I’m so sorry. I was thinking about something else.”

  “No problem, sweetie,” Siobhan’s accent strong as she spoke, then leaned in closer, her voice a whisper. “I remember those days. Not sure what to expect and being excited about it.”

  While they were in Denver, Gwen and her guys had shared a suite with Siobhan and her men, Ray and Brian. The two ladies had bonded while there and Gwen was thankful for her. Siobhan and even the other ladies of their group had helped Gwen out quite a bit, calming her nerves and even educating her on things that were to come.

  “Have they fucked you in the ass yet?” Siobhan whispered.

  Not sure how the woman could ask the question without blushing was beyond Gwen. Shaking her head no, Gwen knew she was blushing. Glancing at both her men, she had to wonder if they had heard the question. They were watching her with curiosity, but they weren’t reacting as if they had overheard.

  “You’ll be fine. It’s the most intimate way for the three of you to be together. It’s like showing them
your ultimate love and submission.” Siobhan seemed very knowledgeable for someone who had only been introduced to BDSM so recently. “Just remember, communication.”

  “Thank you. I will. I really do appreciate all that you guys have helped me with,” Gwen said softly. “You read about this in erotic novels, but who would have known it was true.”

  The two women giggled, drawing the attention of not only their men, but others sitting close to them. Settling down, Gwen finally began to eat the fare before her.

  Siobhan and Ray left not too long after that, as they had to get back to work, but with a promise to get together with them soon. Gwen had to go over an order for equipment for the club with Brian anyway. Might as well make it a fun evening while getting some work done.

  Once the threesome was finished eating, or at least Gwen was since the men had finished a while ago, Jake stood, took her hand, and led her out onto the dance floor. Two other couples were already there dancing to the music from the jukebox.

  Jake pulled her in close, holding her tightly as they moved around. Gwen felt awkward since she had never learned how to dance, but letting Jake take the lead and mimicking his actions was a comfort. Laying her head on his shoulder, she let herself go, the music flowing through her along with his love.

  Lost in the moment, she hadn’t realized how long they had been dancing until he moved away from her. The music had stopped and the other couples had left the floor. Blushing, she headed back toward the table, but Andrew met them halfway and led her back to the floor. Another song had begun to play, thankfully another slow one, and Andrew gathered her close.

  Sliding her hands up his chest, she slipped them around his neck and held him close. Gazing up into his light blue eyes, she held it as they moved to the music, the others in the room disappearing to them. For a few minutes, it was just the two of them, as it was when she danced with Jake.

  The depths of Andrew’s love was there in his eyes. They darkened with his arousal. She had noticed that recently so she had a good way to gauge his mood, though she could always tell when her men were horny by their body language. Jake’s eyes turned a forest green when he was aroused.
