“Bryan, see about Amber. Bryan! Dammit. Stop it and see about Amber. Amber!”
She looked over to see Bryan hitting on someone familiar to her, then he was running for her. He threw the pillow across the room and pulled her up into his arms.
“Aw, baby. I’m so sorry we left you. Oh, God, be okay, baby.” He hugged her and squeezed her until she was fighting him to breathe again.
“Bryan, you’re choking her, man. Ease up.” Tanner pulled him away from her. “Amber, are you okay?”
“Yes, he tried to kill me. Who is he?” she asked.
“Do you recognize him?” Bryan asked. He grabbed the unconscious man from the security officer and held him closer to her.
“That’s Ted, my ex-boyfriend from Memphis. What is he doing here?”
“Get him out of here before I kill him,” Bryan said.
Tanner pulled her into his arms and kissed her. “I never dreamed he could slip in right under our noses, honey. We were literally right outside the door.”
“It’s okay. I’m fine, and now he’s going to jail.” Amber sighed with relief that now maybe things would settle down in her life.
“The police will put him in jail and when his fingerprints match those on your car and the window at your house, they’ll convict him of attempted murder,” Bryan said.
“I want to go home, Tanner.” Amber clung to him.
“I know, honey. We’ll get you home tomorrow.”
* * * *
“This is your house,” Amber said when she sat up straight after dozing on the ride from the hospital.
“You can’t stay by yourself for a few days. You can stay with us until you’re able to be on your own,” Tanner said.
“Oh.” She had hoped they were going to tell her she wasn’t going back home.
She wanted to live with them now, but she wouldn’t say anything. They had to still want her, and she didn’t know if they did. Right now she was afraid that they were just being good to her because she had almost been killed.
“Do you mind staying with us?” Bryan asked.
“No! I like staying with you. I just didn’t realize I would be, is all.” She smiled and waited while Bryan unfastened her seat belt then picked her up and carried her up the steps to the porch.
“Let me down, Bryan. I want to walk.”
“Tanner?” Bryan asked.
“She can walk. Just watch her in case she gets tired.” Tanner unlocked the door and opened it for her.
They filed inside and Amber went straight for the fireplace. Sure enough, there was a fire going. She stood in front of it holding out her hands.
Bryan picked her up once again and sat down on the couch with her on his lap.
“I don’t want you to get tired and fall into the fire. I’ll hold you.”
“You just like holding me,” Amber teased.
“Yep, I like having your supersexy body up next to mine.”
“Suck-up.” She laughed at him.
“How about a sandwich with your soup, Amber.” Tanner called from the kitchen.
“I’m not hungry right now, Tanner,” she called back.
“You’ve got to eat to get your strength back, baby.” Bryan stood up with her and carried her to the kitchen. He settled her on a barstool and took the one next to it.
“I guess I’ll eat a half of a sandwich with a little soup.” Amber really wasn’t hungry.
“Sounds good to me,” Tanner said, eyeing Bryan when he started to argue.
They ate and talked about the prediction of a snowstorm coming their way. Tanner and Bryan argued over how much snow they were likely to get, and Amber just laughed at their crazy predictions.
“You watch and see, Amber. We’re going to get at least a foot of snow,” Bryan said with a big grin.
She yawned and stretched, wincing as it pulled on her side. She was still sore.
“Looks like you could use a nap,” Tanner said.
“I’m a little tired. I think I’ll just relax on the couch.”
“Nonsense, we’ll go take a nap on the bed. It’s more comfortable,” Bryan said.
Amber rolled her eyes but let him help her down from the bar. She waved bye to Tanner as she was gently pushed out the kitchen door toward the stairs. She made it halfway up before she had to stop and rest.
“Want me to carry you the rest of the way, baby?” Bryan asked.
“Naw, I want to do it. I just had to catch my breath.” She continued up the stairs and was secretly glad there were only a few left. As it was, making it all the way down the hall wore her completely out.
She didn’t say a word when Bryan undressed her. She honestly didn’t have the strength. He undressed as well and pulled her into his arms under the covers. She dozed off and on for nearly an hour before she realized that Tanner was in the bed with them. She hadn’t remembered him getting in the bed. She rolled over and cozied up to him.
“You’re awake,” he said.
“I’ve rested enough. Kiss me.” She poked out her lips.
Tanner laughed and kissed her.
“That’s not what I want. I want a real kiss,” she said in her sultriest voice.
“Honey, you’re not well enough to get too frisky.”
“Are you turning me down for sex?” she asked overdramatically.
“As much as it pains me to say it, yes. You’re not healed enough, Amber.”
“But I want you, Tanner.” She pouted.
“Maybe by the weekend. Let’s see how you do. The doctor said no strenuous activity for the next forty-eight hours.”
“What does he know?” she asked, running her hand down his body.
He grabbed her hand just before it made contact with his cock. Then he shook his head and grabbed her other hand when it snaked toward Bryan.
“Don’t tease us, Amber.”
“I’m serious, Tanner. I need you. Please.”
“Give it another day, Amber, and we’ll see. Now are you ready to get up or do you need to sleep a while longer.”
“I’m ready to get up. I’m tired of being in bed if I can’t have any fun.”
Tanner kissed her on the nose and helped her out of the bed.
“What about Bryan?” she asked.
“Let him sleep. He was up a lot watching you when you were in the hospital. He needs the rest.”
Amber nodded. She grabbed her clothes, and they dressed outside the bedroom in the hall. Then he helped her down the stairs. It was a lot easier going down than it had been going up. She sat on the couch while he made coffee. Then they drank it, watching the fire without saying much of anything.
Almost an hour later, Bryan came running down the stairs. He looked frantic until he saw her sitting on the couch with Tanner.
“Damn, I was scared something had happened to you. I looked all over the bedroom and bathroom for you.” He sat on the couch next to her and wrapped an arm around her.
“Sorry, I was wide awake, so Tanner and I came downstairs and let you sleep.”
“Is there still some coffee left?” he asked, getting up again.
“Yeah.” Tanner handed him his cup. “Fill me up again.”
“What about you, baby?” Bryan asked her.
“I’m good.”
When he returned, Bryan sat on the other side of her and took her hand in his. Tanner took her other hand. They looked at each other over her head. She looked from one to the other.
“What’s going on, guys?” she asked warily.
“Amber, we know we asked you to move in with us before, but we want to change that now,” Tanner said.
Amber’s heartbeat roared in her ears. She had been right. They’d changed their mind. She fought to keep the tears from forming. She didn’t want to cry in front of them.
“What he’s trying to say, Amber,” Bryan began.
“I’m trying to ask you to marry us,” Tanner finished.
“What?” She wasn’t sure she had heard him right.
�
�Will you marry us?” Bryan asked.
“Marry you? Like forever?” she asked, still trying to understand.
“Yes, forever,” Bryan said with a grin.
“I–I don’t know what to say.” Hell yeah, she wanted to marry them.
Then why was she hesitating? She opened her mouth to say yes, but then she realized they hadn’t said they loved her. She needed to hear the words to know they really meant it.
“What is it, baby?” Bryan asked with a frown. “Don’t you love us?”
“I do. I love you both, but do you love me?”
Tanner cursed and got on his knees in front of her, pulling Bryan off the couch as he did.
“Amber Reynolds, Bryan and I love you more than anything in the world, and want to spend the rest of our lives with you. Will you marry us?”
Amber started crying. She slipped off the couch into their arms, saying yes over and over again.
Chapter Sixteen
“Come on, baby. We’re going to be late!” Bryan called up the stairs to her again.
Amber mumbled to herself as she finished putting on her shoes. They were the most impatient men she’d ever met. Then she grinned. They catered to her every want instead of beat her, though. She was the luckiest woman in the world to have two doting men.
She hurried down the stairs into Bryan’s arms. He kissed her, then hurried her out the door.
They were attending a party at the club given by one of Bryan and Tanner’s friends. She couldn’t wait to meet all their friends. They were all so nice and accepting of their relationship. She and Tanner had gotten married a little over a week ago. Afterwards they had a small ceremony where all three of them had exchanged vows at home with a few friends. It had hurt a little at first that she didn’t have anyone to attend the ceremony, but she let it go. She had more friends now than she had ever had in her life.
Tanner waited for them in the truck. Bryan helped her up then followed her, and they headed to the club.
“Are you sure you don’t mind, baby?” Bryan asked. “We hated to tell them no.”
“No, I don’t mind at all. I like your friends.”
“They like you, too,” Tanner assured her.
“I’ve been thinking,” Amber said.
“Uh-oh,” Tanner chuckled.
She popped him on the leg. “Anyway. I think I’m going to give my notice at the bank.”
“Thank God!” Bryan said. “What made you decide that?”
“They really aren’t supportive of me being married to you two, and I don’t need people like that in my life,” she said.
Bryan stiffened up next to her. “Did they say anything to you?”
“No. But they obviously don’t approve. I was invited to the Christmas party, but they made it clear that I couldn’t bring anyone with me.”
“Those sons of bitches,” Bryan growled. “I wish we did business there so I could move our money somewhere else.”
Amber chuckled. “Good one, Bryan, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll be happy to stay at home and make your life miserable.”
“You can’t do that, baby, even if you tried.”
They pulled into the parking lot of the club, and Amber let Bryan swing her down from the truck. They walked into the club and were directed to the bar. When they walked into the room, more than fifty people screamed surprise!
“What is this?” Tanner asked with a frown.
“A surprise wedding shower,” someone said. “We didn’t get to give you one ahead of time, so we’re giving you one now.”
Amber started crying. She couldn’t believe it. They were so nice. Music started, and they were escorted to a table at the front of the room where there were tons of presents waiting to be opened.
Hours later, Amber rested her cheek on Tanner’s shoulder as they slow danced to soft music. Bryan was behind her, holding her waist and kissing her neck. She couldn’t remember ever being more happy or content in her life.
“I love you guys.”
“We love you, too,” they both said at the same time.
“You guys might want to cut your dance short and hightail it home before you get stuck here,” someone said.
Tanner frowned and looked up. “What’s going on?”
“It’s snowing hard outside, man.”
Amber squealed and broke away to run for the door. The men followed her. She stopped to look at the beautiful scene around her. Snow clung to every surface while icicles hung from the roof. She walked out into the blowing snow and turned a circle in it.
“Bryan, get her in the truck before she turns into a snowman,” Tanner said with a sigh.
Amber laughed and ran for the truck. “Oh look! They packed the presents for us!”
The backseat of the truck was filled with boxes. She couldn’t imagine ever having such good friends.
“Let’s go snuggle, baby.” Bryan helped her up into the truck as he and Tanner climbed in after her.
Once they were home, they decided to leave the presents until the next day and head straight to bed. Amber couldn’t keep her hands off of her men. They had slapped at her hands and chuckled as she tried to undress them all the way home.
Once they were upstairs in the bedroom, she let them strip her then watched as they stripped in front of her. She loved watching them get out of their clothes. Especially when it meant she was going to get some. She went to her knees before them and grasped their cocks in each hand. Then she squeezed the base of them. They moaned as she licked around their slits. She moved from one cock to the other and back again as she licked and sucked at their cockheads. When she swallowed Tanner’s back to her throat, he grabbed her head and pulled her up for a kiss.
“Bryan, on your back, man. I’m taking this tight ass tonight.”
Amber laughed and climbed over on top of him. When she lowered herself over his cock, he grabbed her hips to stop her.
“What?” she asked, confused.
“I don’t have a condom on.”
She looked over at Tanner. “Does he need one?”
“That’s up to you, honey.” Tanner waited while she held on to Bryan’s wrists.
“Let go, Bryan. You don’t need a condom. We’re married now.”
Bryan let go of her hips, and she sank slowly down his cock. They both threw back their heads and moaned.
“God, you fill me up, Bryan.”
“Your cunt has me in a vise.” Bryan shoved upward and tapped her cervix.
She grinned. He knew what she liked. He would work to bump her cervix as often as he could. It felt so damn good when it stung like that.
Tanner pressed her forward over Bryan’s chest. Then he spread lube across her back hole and entered her with one finger. He pumped it in and out of her ass over and over until he was satisfied. Then he added more lube and a second finger. The slight burn and pinch had her moaning as she pushed outward.
“Fuck! Tanner, hurry up. She’s tightening down on me, man.”
“Amber, be good. I don’t want to hurt you by going too fast, honey.”
“Please, Tanner. Hurry. I want you inside of me.” Amber grazed her teeth over Bryan’s nipple.
Tanner added more lube and fitted his cock against her back hole. She sighed and pushed back until he finally popped inside of her. She swallowed back the yelp from the pinch and relaxed so that he could make his way all the way inside of her. She lowered her head to Bryan’s chest once again while they began moving inside of her. First Tanner pulled out and Bryan pushed in. Then they reversed, and Tanner pushed in while Bryan pulled out.
After a few seconds, they managed to set a rhythm that drove Amber crazy. It was just this side of being fast enough and deep enough to send her into an orgasm. She knew they were doing it on purpose. She wanted to come, but they wanted to make her wait. She knew it would be even better if she could hold off longer, but it didn’t stop her from fighting it. She squeezed them with her cunt and ass muscles and smiled when they cursed above and below her.<
br />
“Aw, fuck, baby. Do that again. Yeah, just like that. God, I’m going to come if you keep that up.” He plowed up into her, hitting her cervix, distracting her temporarily.
Then Tanner was tunneling in and out of her ass, singing nerve endings as her climax boiled up over her. She screamed, throwing her head back. She felt Bryan’s cum fill her cunt as his cock tunneled deep into her. Seconds later, Tanner filled her ass with his cum. Amber floated between them for what seemed like hours. Then Tanner pulled out of her ass and went to get a cloth to clean her up. Bryan held her close even though neither of them could breathe that way.
When Tanner got back, he pulled her off of Bryan, causing her to whimper. Then he cleaned her up and settled her back against Bryan’s body while he got rid of the cloth. When he climbed in beside her, she wrapped her arms around him and kissed his shoulder.
“I love you, Tanner. Even when you’re bossy.”
“What about me?” Bryan asked from behind her.
“I love you even when you’re cranky in the mornings.” She laughed when he bit her shoulder.
“Know what we love most about you, Amber?” Bryan asked.
“What?”
“That you said yes,” Tanner said.
She snuggled between them and had to agree. That was the best thing she had ever done. She’d been broken, but now she was whole.
