  She looked down at him, moaning softly as James came up behind her and pressed his front against her back. She looked over her shoulder at James and kissed him and then cupped Vincent’s jaw in her hands and kissed him, too. “We don’t need condoms. Not anymore. Whatever happens…happens,” she said in a shaky voice as she lifted up a little, arching her back and grinding her hips to tease him as she slid back down. “I want to feel your skin against mine.”

  “But, fluff,” Vincent said, before breaking off into a moan when she tugged at him with her pussy muscles as she lifted up again. “That feels so good. What about your career? Your plans? Your dad?”

  She reached out to touch both of them as James murmured in agreement. “Listen to me, guys. My life was packed up in a box, just like all that crystal. I had no room for a real life in my day to day activities. I turned twenty-nine this year and it’s time I started prioritizing for a personal life. And all I’ll have to do is mention the prospect of grandchildren to my dad and he’ll change his thinking. Juliana handles her job with Will in tow and I can do the same. Now, can we please finish that very important conversation later?” She swirled her hips and moaned softly. “Because right now I’m more interested in making love with my men.”

  She slid her hands up the back of his head and raked her fingernails lightly over his scalp and smiled when he shuddered and broke out in gooseflesh. She made a mental note to do that often since he obviously liked it.

  James gathered the ends of her hair in his hand and kissed her shoulder. “We’ll pack you and your crystal and everything else up and bring you home with us. You’ll have all the space you need. And we’ll have each other every day and every night.”

  Vincent wrapped his powerful arms around her and thrust upward, sliding deeper and rubbing her clit as he ground against her. “Feels so good but I think James needs your attention, too. I’ll bet you’re good at multitasking, aren’t you, fluff?”

  She giggled and lifted off of him. “One of the best.”

  Vincent directed her to turn and face James and said, “Hands and knees.”

  A giggle escaped her as she looked up at James and then licked her lips as the position put her in easy reach of his cock, which stood out, thick and proud, from the nest of curling dark hairs at his groin. Both of her men were so sexy, so masculine. Her mouth watered as she caressed his throbbing length with her cheek and then licked the hot head, making James groan as he watched her with sultry eyes.

  Vincent stroked her spine, down to her tailbone and then stroked her ass cheeks, making her shudder and arch her back in invitation. “Beautiful, fluff. Just beautiful.” The heat from his powerful thighs bracketing hers created a trembling in her that centered deep in her pussy as she waited.

  James grasped his cock and she licked the head and sucked him in, wetting him with her tongue and her lips as she took the first few inches. Vincent sank in several inches and she moaned as he stretched her, forcing himself deeper. James gasped and Leah realized he could feel the vibration of her noises on his cock and she vocalized softly, making it as good for him as Vincent made it for her.

  The sexy, musky aroma of James’s groin filled her senses as she grasped his cock with one hand and took him to the back of her throat. His hands caressed the back of her head, threading his fingers through his hair and tugging lightly, but never forcing her to take more of him. It wasn’t like James to be pushy. He was always gentle with her, which served to make her want to take even more of him, do more for him.

  She hollowed her cheeks and sucked him as he began to thrust in rhythm with Vincent, groaning deeply, taking her mouth as Vincent filled her cunt.

  Vincent panted behind her and his rough hands slid from her hips up to her shoulders as his thrusts grew more forceful. She arched her back and tightened around him, drawing a deep growl from him before he said, “So beautiful. I love watching my cock sink deep in your swollen pussy. Love feeling how wet and hot you are for us, fluff. Can’t wait to fill your sweet pussy with my cum.”

  She murmured an enthusiastic assent and her cunt contracted as she visualized what he was seeing. The flickers of orgasm made her tremble and his responding growl told her that he knew what she was feeling.

  “Want to come, little fluff?” he asked as he snaked a hand around her hip to her mound.

  She moaned loudly and James responded with a moan of his own. “Her little mouth is so sweet. Not much longer, honey. If you don’t want to swallow you’d better let go.”

  She growled negatively and made them both laugh out loud and then James shouted as the first spurt of his cum erupted from him. She swallowed as she worked him, her cunt contracting as Vincent fucked her harder and trapped her clit between two fingers and toggled it round and round. She barely managed to release James’s softening cock before she came, crying out in rapture as the waves of pleasure spread outward from her clenching cunt. Vincent murmured his approval and gripped her hips tightly as he pounded into her pussy, his strokes made slick by her own release.

  “So fucking hot,” he rasped out as his thrusts grew even harder and shorter until he finally buried his cock deep and howled in pleasure. “Leah!”

  Limp as a noodle, she collapsed between them on the bed and giggled when James’s stomach growled loudly. “I’d have laughed and wound up choking if that’d happened two minutes ago.”

  “I doubt we would’ve heard it over all the panting, growling, and moaning,” Vincent said, still sounding slightly out of breath.

  The men conversed about supper while she floated euphorically as she snuggled between them. Her engagement ring caught the light from the lamp as she curled her hand around the sheet they covered her with.

  Vincent chuckled as he stroked her ass and leaned in close. “We’ll let you snooze for a bit, fluff, and bring you a bite to eat when supper’s ready.”

  “No, I’ll get up. I’ll be in there in just a few minutes,” she murmured, feeling tingly all over.

  “Good luck with that, honey,” James said and she heard the sound of a zipper zipping up. “I’ll go rinse off the truck before that mud turns to concrete.”

  The last thing she remembered was giving them a thumbs-up.

  Chapter Seventeen

  Leah looked up with a smile when she sensed a presence in her office doorway a second before knuckles rapped on the open door.

  “You busy?” her dad asked as he leaned in.

  “No, Dad. Please, come in.” She waved him in as she rose from her desk chair. She’d been expecting James and Vincent but it would be good to get this potentially difficult conversation out of the way so she could tell her men that it was done. She tried to hide her surprise when Denny Calder, the contractor from Abilene came in with him. She had to give her dad credit for trying.

  “Honey, you remember Denny?”

  “Of course. It’s good to see you again,” she said as she smiled and held out her hand. He gave her hand a firm but gentle shake and she was reminded of the evening he’d kissed her hand. Vincent hadn’t reacted well but now the memory made her smile even wider.

  “I’m glad to see you’re well, Leah. I heard from your dad about your difficulty in Tuspita.”

  “Yes, well…”

  “If you’d called me I would’ve run out there to help you.”

  Heat suffused her cheeks and she chuckled. “It’s okay. It was handled. I hope I never have to drive through that town again. If I ever return to Abilene, I’ll find an alternate route.”

  A frown turned her dad’s eyebrows into a bushy caterpillar, one of the many things that endeared him to her, and he sighed softly. “I guess that tells me what your decision is. I was hoping…” He glanced at Denny and there was apology in his eyes.

  It wasn’t like her dad to be such a softie. He was usually direct and to the point.

  “Dad, I have…you see…a situation has developed here…” She was no better, evidently.

  He sat forward. “At the store?”

 
“No. In my personal life. I—” She glanced at Denny and hoped he’d see the apology that was also in her eyes.

  Denny nodded and looked at his boots. “I think this is probably a conversation y’all need to have in private. Leah, if it’s okay with you, I’ll go have a look around your store. Doug, I’ll be out there when you finish.”

  “Sure.”

  Denny pulled the door closed as he left. Her father leaned forward and balanced his elbows on his knees and said, “Talk to me, sweetie. You and I both know that store is perfect for you.”

  With a smile, she nodded. “It is a fantastic place. I love the atmosphere and I know that Denny will do a fantastic job finishing it. He’s a good guy.”

  “I’m hearing a ‘but’ in there somewhere.”

  “But…I want to stay in Divine. I’m in love, Daddy. In fact, I’m also engaged.”

  His eyebrows shot up nearly into his hairline and a bright smile crossed his face. “You are?”

  “Yes. I took the decision very seriously. I took my time, weighing my options, because you’re right. The store in Abilene is perfect for me. But the men I love live here in Divine.”

  “Men?” he asked, surprise obvious in his eyes.

  “Yes. Vincent and James Elder.”

  “Oh,” he said as he sat back. “And…oh hell. And Patterson, too, huh?” At her nod, he rose and came around to her and she stood to accept his hug. “You really did love him, didn’t you? I’m so sorry. I mean, I’m happy for you, but I’m sorry, too.”

  “Thank you.”

  “Those are good men. I’ve never met them personally but I’ve heard nothing but good things about any of the Elder brothers. I wish I’d known. I feel out of the loop with you. Actually, with both of my daughters.”

  She let that last comment go for the moment. “You’re not upset?”

  “Why would I be upset?”

  “I guess you wouldn’t be, not really. Maybe it’s just my own assumption that the older generation will judge the people who are involved in ménages in the area. I should know better.”

  Her father shook his head. “As long as all of the parties love each other and have mutual acceptance of each other, it doesn’t matter to me how they get together, or in what order. I know there are some judgmental assholes in town, but, honey, you might be surprised to find that there are more ménages in this town than the ones you’re aware of. I know of a few that didn’t work, because they kept adding or subtracting people, which tells me that their core wasn’t very stable.”

  “Who?” she asked, suddenly curious.

  “Now, you know I won’t go telling the secrets of others. But of the lasting ones I know of that are public, I see only solid commitments. That’s what I’d want for you, sweetie, regardless of whether it was one man or more. Is it just you, with James and Vincent? Or are there—”

  “No! No,” she said, softening her tone. “No. I’m not sharing them with anyone else, if that’s what you’re asking.”

  Her dad smiled. “I wouldn’t judge, you know.”

  “Me either, Dad. That’s just not my thing. It’s just the three of us and no more. Although, if Patterson was still alive, he’d be a part of it, too. I loved him very much.”

  “I wish I’d known. I’m sorry I’ve always been so consumed with business.”

  Leah shook her head and held up a hand. “Stop apologizing. I could’ve been more open about it with you.” I could’ve been more honest with myself, too. “I’ve been in love with them for a while.”

  “Have you set a date?”

  “They proposed last night. It’s a relatively new development.”

  “Well, I hope they know what a jewel they have on their hands with you,” he said as he smiled down at her. “And I acquire two new sons…and hopefully some more grandbabies, huh?”

  “Oh, Dad.”

  “Well, I guess this means I have to look for someone else to run that store. No chance they’d be willing to move to Abilene?” Leah giggled and he added. “It was worth a shot.”

  “About Denny…”

  “Don’t worry about that. He came up to visit with me since he’s moving into the next phase of the store renovation. It was my idea to bring him with me, although, he did seem very open when I told him I was coming to see you.”

  “I can see why you like him. He’s a nice guy.”

  His cheeks turned a little ruddy. “That was a really lame attempt at matchmaking wasn’t it? I just thought…he’s a widower and you’d lost someone. You have that in common. You’re around the same age and both attractive. Maybe you might be attracted to each other.”

  “It was a safe assumption. Thanks for not making me feel guilty about it.”

  She walked with him to the door and hid a gasp of surprise when she opened it and found James and Vincent in the hallway, having a somewhat tense-looking conversation with Denny.

  “Ah, here they are,” Denny said, grinning at her and her dad, seeming untroubled by the dark look Vincent was shooting at him and the guarded concern in James’s eyes as he looked back and forth between his brother and her, before turning to her dad and holding out his hand.

  “Sir, I’m James Elder. This is my brother, Vincent.”

  “Sir,” Vincent said, holding out his hand as well.

  Her dad shook both of their hands and said, “Gentlemen, it’s a pleasure. I’ve heard good things about you, in the community and from my daughter.”

  Leah appreciated that he didn’t bring up her engagement with Denny present.

  “Thank you, sir,” James said. “Denny was telling us that your store in Abilene is coming right along.”

  Evidently unable to hide his territorial streak, Vincent said, “I hope it won’t be too difficult to find a manager for it, sir.” Just couldn’t wait to slide that one in there, could you, He-man?

  Her dad chuckled as if he was a little amused and turned a look on her that said, “Are you sure you know what you’re getting yourself into?”

  Leah put a hand on Vincent’s arm and said, “Dad and I have already discussed it.”

  Vincent’s reply was a slight nod and then smiled at her with those dazzling bedroom eyes. She turned to Denny and held out her hand to him. “Denny, it was great to see you again—”

  “Actually,” her dad said, cutting her off. “We came to see you for two different reasons. I’d also like it if we could give him a tour of the back, to give him an idea of how we do things here, so he can take those ideas back to the other store. If I buy any other stores in the area he’ll be doing the work on those as well.”

  Wow, Dad really does like this guy.

  “You don’t mind if I tie up Leah a little longer, do you?” her father asked James and Vincent as he put a hand on her shoulder.

  They both shook their heads and James replied, “Of course not, sir. We’ll check back in a little later.” Vincent didn’t seem quite as enthused about her spending more time in Denny’s presence but he nodded as well, before turning a warm gaze on her.

  Their group turned and headed down the hallway and James and Vincent hung back to get her attention. Vincent gave her a fast, warm kiss and whispered, “Looks like it went okay?”

  “Just fine. I’ll tell you more about it later. Have you eaten yet?”

  “That was why we came by. Want us to bring you something?”

  “Yes, give me an hour.”

  James leaned in and kissed her forehead. “See you then. Enjoy your visit.”

  The tour took just under an hour and Leah was relieved that spending further time around Denny didn’t feel odd. She’d seen the slight twinkle of hope in his eyes when he’d greeted her earlier, but he seemed to understand without her having to explain. James and Vincent were it for her.

  Her dad and Denny were walking with her back to the office when Presley Ann came rushing out of the hallway. She was gathering her long blonde hair into a clip and it was obvious she didn’t see them until it was too late. She barreled right into
Denny.

  He caught her by her upper arms as she lost her balance and nearly fell backward. “Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry! I didn’t see you.” Her cheeks turned bright red as she looked up at Denny and then over at her dad and her sister. Leah heaved an inward sigh. It seemed to always be something with Presley Ann lately. As if on cue, Presley Ann looked at her and said, “I really didn’t mean for that to happen. I was in a hurry.”

  “Are you okay?” Denny asked as he released her and his eyes widened as he noticed her bulging abdomen. She looked up at him and blushed even brighter.

  “Yes, I’m fine.” She turned to Leah and said, “I’m sorry I’m late, sis. My car broke down and I had to walk the last couple of blocks. I need to get to my department. Again, I’m sorry I almost knocked all three of you over.”

  Her dad stopped her and said, “Whoa, there, Presley Ann. Are you really all right? You look flushed.”

  Having it mentioned seemed to make Presley Ann flush even brighter as she glanced at Denny. “Yes, I promise I’m fine. It’s just so hot outside. The air-conditioning in my car went out earlier this week. I just need to catch my breath and cool off, that’s all.”

  “Sweetie, this is Denny Calder. He’s the contractor working on the new store.”

  Presley Ann smiled and nodded at him, as she glanced at Leah. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Denny. I really need to get to my department. Evelyn had someone covering for me and I don’t want to hold them up. I hope you have a good visit, Mr. Calder. Daddy, I’ll still see you at supper Saturday night?”

  Her dad leaned down and kissed Presley Ann’s cheek. “Of course. And this time it’s my treat and I won’t go if you won’t allow it.”

  “Shoot,” she said with a chuckle. “All right. See you at the house. Bye!” she called as she hurried off toward the children’s department.

  Her dad chuckled softly as he watched her. “She didn’t even give me time to finish the introduction. Denny, that blonde flash was my daughter, Presley Ann.”
