“Quite right,” the doctor agreed. “You listen to your men and let them take care of you. A nurse will be in soon for you to sign the release forms. You’re to spend the next three days or so resting. If you feel sick or experience any dizziness or the pain gets worse, come back straight away. Drink plenty of fluids and sleep when your body tells you to. All right?”
“Okay. Thank you.”
“Good. I hope I don’t see you back here anytime soon.” The doctor patted her arm before leaving.
Sally looked toward the door as it opened and saw Bull, Rocky, Ridge, the two sheriffs, and a whole lot of other people out in the hall. She hadn’t known that she’d made so many friends in the short time she’d been in Slick Rock and knew that she found her home.
Bull stuck his head in and when he saw that she was awake came further into the room. “How are you feeling, Sally?”
“Fine,” she answered automatically. “I’m glad that you and your brothers weren’t hurt.”
“The only one hurt was you, honey. I’m sorry we didn’t see that missile coming until it was too late.”
“None of it was your fault,” Sally said sincerely. “Lay the blame at the feet of those bastards.”
Bull nodded and winked at her. “Glad to see you awake. Your men were very worried about you.” Before she could say anything else, he turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.
“We should be the ones apologizing,” Frank stated angrily. “If I hadn’t let you alone in the kitchen…”
“Stop!” Sally held her hand up. “It’s finished and we all survived. If we continue the play the guilt card, we’ll just keep going around in circles. Do you blame me for the condition of your house?”
“Hell no!” Will shouted.
“What?” Frank asked incredulously.
“Fuck no!” Rick growled.
“You could. If I hadn’t come into your lives, none of this would have happened.”
“Damn, baby, stop.” Will shifted on the bed, sitting up a little higher, taking her with him. “If you hadn’t come into our lives we would never have found you, the woman we love with our whole hearts.”
“So maybe all of this was meant to be,” Sally said as she snuggled into Will and closed her heavy eyelids.

“She’s asleep.” Frank caressed a finger down her cheek.
“Who’s outside?” Will asked.
“Looks like the whole damn town,” Frank answered.
“Are there women, too?”
Frank nodded. “Rachel, Cat, and a couple of others.”
Rick withdrew his wallet and handed Frank the cash he had on him. Frank did the same and then he opened the door and called out to Cat. “Can you please go and buy Sally some clothes? The medical staff cut hers off so they could examine her and we can’t take her home in a hospital gown.”
“Sure,” Cat took the money, gave Rick a hug, and left with Rachel.
“Have either of you contacted the insurance company?” Rick asked.
“Yeah,” Will replied. “They’re probably assessing the damage as we speak.”
“Good. The sooner we get the house fixed up, the better,” Rick said.
“Where are we going to stay until the house is livable?” Frank asked.
Ridge, who’d just entered the room, said, “You can stay with us.”
“What? Where?” Will questioned.
“We’ve just bought the ranch next to Luke’s.”
“The old Emmerson place.”
Ridge nodded.
“I thought that place was run-down. Emerson was too old to keep everything up and although Luke, Billy, Tom, and their ranch hands helped out as much as they could, there was a shitload of work to do,” Frank said.
“That was before Mr. Emerson passed away. The son came back and hired a team of workers to renovate and landscape. It’s just been finished. Craig Emerson put it up for sale. Rocky, Bull and I just bought it.”
“Have you even seen it?” Rick asked.
“Not in person. We looked at the photos online and read the listing. Plus, Luke told us the place looks brand new. It has six bedrooms, two bathrooms, and en-suite, and all the fences and sheds are in great condition,” Ridge explained. “You’ll have a bedroom and bathroom to yourselves since we’ll be at the opposite end of the house.”
“We accept,” Will said. “Thanks, Ridge.”
Ridge nodded and turned when the door to the hospital room opened. He stepped aside, eyeing the pretty nurse as she hurried toward the bed. She removed the catheter from Sally’s hand and then held up a bunch of papers.
“I have Miss Darwin’s release papers. They need to be signed.”
Sally stirred. She covered her mouth when she yawned and blinked a couple of times. “Thanks.” She took the papers the nurse handed her, signed where necessary, and handed them back.
“You’re good to leave whenever you’re ready.” The nurse smiled and blushed when she saw Ridge watching her before hurrying out. She nearly bumped into Catalina.
“Sally, thank goodness you’re all right.” Cat hurried over, nudged Rick aside, and hugged her. Sally hugged her new friend back and then took the bag Cat shoved into her hands.
“Frank sent me out to get some clothes. Do you need help getting changed?” Cat asked.
“Uh—”
“We’ll help her.” Rick took the bag from Sally.
“Make sure you rest and if you need anything, anything at all, call me.” Cat kissed Sally on the cheek before leaving.
“Are you ready to get out of here, baby?” Will asked as he released Sally and slid from the bed.
“Oh yeah,” Sally sighed and smiled at all of them. “I’m ready to spend the rest of my life with you all.”
“That’s great, sweetheart, because we aren’t about to let you out of our sight ever again.”

Sally attended her brother’s funeral the day after she was released from the hospital. Her three men had been amazing. After taking her home so she could clean up and pack some clothes, they bundled her into the truck and driven to the airport. They’d hired private plane, which flew them to New York. She’d slept the whole way and then they had all spent the night in a luxurious hotel.
They’d also made all the arrangements and paid for her brother’s funeral without her knowledge. Will, Frank, and Rick were her rocks, holding her as she cried when her brother’s casket was lowered into the ground right next to her mother and stepfather’s grave. She prayed that her brother had finally found peace and was happy up in heaven with their parents. When she’d asked her men who’d arranged for her brother’s funeral, they’d quickly changed the subject, but when they wouldn’t meet her gaze, she knew the answer. She’d tried to tell them she would pay them back somehow but they’d told her that there was so need. They had more than enough money to cover the costs and weren’t hurting for cash. She’d thanked them and cried some more and headed straight back to Slick Rock.
Once again she’d slept the flight through. At times she found that grief swamped her but she was also happy and in love. Her men were her pillars of strength when sorrow struck and did everything they could to make her laugh. The fear was gone and she looked forward to waking up and facing each day now that she was no longer in danger.
Sally couldn’t believe how quickly her guys’ house had been fixed up. In one week everything was back to normal and she was sitting on the sofa watching TV snuggled up with her men.
Rocky, Bull, and Ridge were at their own place and had started buying horses to train them up and sell them. She’d found out that the Atkin’s brothers’ parents also had their own ranch and bred a mix of cattle for beef and horses for racing. The Atkins men had decided to follow in their parents’ footsteps.
She no longer had any reason to worry or be scared. Angelo Perez was dead. Phillip Ramon was locked up and would be for a very long time and so was the assistant DA, Jarvis Stevens, as well as Offi
cer Brush. The police had worked in conjunction with the feds, raided Perez’s headquarters, and arrested his cronies for possession, trafficking, illegal firearms, and a slew of other charges. Sally was free to live her life and that was exactly what she was going to do.
She sighed as she cuddled up to Frank, hoping that her men would finally relent to making love with her tonight. She had healed from her injuries and was hungry for her guys. Maybe she could persuade them to break the no-making-love drought now that she was back to normal.
She shifted on the cushion and when she reached for the bowl of popcorn Frank had in his lap, she missed on purpose. She bit back a grin when she felt him stiffen, in more ways than one.
Frank met her gaze and she let him see how much she needed him and his brothers make love to her. He sucked in a noisy breath, put the popcorn bowl on the coffee table, and lifted her onto his lap.
“Are you feeling frisky, sweetheart?”
Sally shook her head as she nibbled on her lip. Frank frowned at her and she nearly burst out laughing when she saw the disappointed expression on his face. He looked like a little boy with his lower lip pouting.
She couldn’t help but burst out laughing and Frank grinned. Sally shifted to her knees and straddled his hips before palming his cheeks and slanting her mouth over his.
Frank quickly took control of the kiss, rubbing and twirling his tongue along and around hers. She moaned when his hands slid beneath her shirt and caressed up and down her back, but it wasn’t enough. She needed more.
Sally broke the kiss, rose, and met each of her men’s gazes. As they watched her she began to remove her clothes.
Will groaned as he adjusted the fit of his pants. Seeing him do that just made her hungrier for her guys.
When she was completely naked, she stood before them with her head held high and then she cupped her own breasts and moaned.
“Fuck!” Rick jumped from the sofa and stalked toward her. “You’re so fucking sexy, love.”
When he was standing in front of her, he combed his fingers through her hair, held her head still, and kissed her. The kiss was wild, hot, and passionate, sending her from a low simmer to a flaming inferno in seconds.
“Please?” Sally begged when Rick released her lips and began to nibble down her neck.
“We’ll definitely please you, baby.” Will came up to her from behind and when he pressed his front to her back, she realized he was naked.
“Oh,” she moaned as he ground his hard cock into her lower back. Sally lifted up to her toes, trying to get his erect penis between her legs, but she ended up groaning with frustration because she wasn’t quite tall enough.
“Easy, baby.” Will cupped her breasts, thrumming her aching nipples with his thumbs before squeezing them between his finger and thumb.
Sally hadn’t even noticed she’d closed her eyes until large, warm callused hands caressed up and down her thighs. She opened them to see that Frank was on his knees, totally naked and staring at her pussy. He must have felt her gaze on him because he lifted his eyes to her and licked his lips.
She trembled with need and wondered if her shaky legs would continue to support her.
Frank wrapped his arms around her thighs the same moment Will wrapped his arms around her chest just beneath her breasts and she squeaked as they lifted her from the floor.
Both men knelt down, taking her with them but they held her aloft from the cool timber floor. Frank placed her legs over his shoulders and Will supported her upper body on his thighs.
She looked to the side when she saw movement and whimpered when she saw Rick walking toward her. He was also naked and she licked her lips as she eyed his sexy, muscular body over.
“Just relax, sweetheart, we won’t drop you,” Frank said right before he shoved his face into her cunt.
Sally groaned when he licked up through her wet folds before lapping at her sensitive engorged clit. She clutched at Will’s forearms, not because she was scared of falling, but because her whole body was on fire and she needed an anchor as a passionate hunger for her men washed over and through her blood.
She gasped and moaned when Frank thrust two fingers up into her cunt and began to move them in and out of her vagina as he sucked on her clit. Rick, who was kneeling at her side, slammed his mouth over her and kissed her voraciously.
Sally released her hold on Will’s arm and clasped Rick’s cock before pumping her hand up and down his erection. He growled into her mouth and then he released her lips to gasp in lungful’s of air.
She met his gaze and then held her breath when he shoved two fingers into his mouth and covered them with saliva. When he took them out, he lowered them from sight but she already knew where he was going. She whimpered when those wet fingers tickled over her anus and then penetrated her ass.
The tension in her womb and belly grew tauter and tauter and when Frank lightly scraped his teeth over her clit before sucking the sensitive nub into his mouth, Sally cried out.
Her body shook and shivered, her internal muscles clamping and releasing around the fingers thrusting in and out of her ass and pussy. Cream dripped onto her inner thighs and pucker and Will continued to pluck at her nipples. When the last contraction waned and aftershocks wracked her body, Sally sighed with relief. Her men had taken the edge off but she wouldn’t be totally satisfied until they’d made love to her.
“Let’s take this somewhere more comfortable.” Frank unhooked his arms from around her thighs before scooping her up into his arms. His mouth and chin were shiny from her juices but it didn’t turn her off. Seeing his hungry gaze and her cream on his face made her hornier than ever before. She looped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his.
He groaned as he stroked his tongue into her mouth kissing her as hungrily as she was kissing him. She sighed when he lowered her onto the bed and pulled him down with her, biting and sucking at his lips as she spread her thighs even wider.
When he released her lips and rolled off of her, she barely restrained her cry of disappointment, but Rick took Frank’s place seconds later. He kissed her rapaciously before licking and nibbling down her neck toward her breast. His tongue rimmed her areola before laving over her aching nipple. When he sucked first one nipple and then the other into his mouth, Sally bowed her chest up and gasped as zings of pleasure shot down to her clit.
Rick shifted his hips and when his cock was at her entrance, he pressed his cock into her in a hard thrust. Sally groaned as his hard dick glided along her vaginal walls and clutched at his shoulders while pushing her hips up toward his.
“Turn her over,” Frank rasped.
Rick wrapped his arms around her and rolled until he was on the body and she was lying on top of him. She shivered when Frank caressed up and down her back, squeezing her ass cheeks, and then helped her to spread her legs wider. She whimpered with bliss when Rick’s cock pressed even deeper inside of her pussy, the crown of his cock brushing against her cervix.
Rick gripped the hair at the back of her head and tugged her down for a kiss.
Frank shifted closer and then rubbed lube into her back entrance.
Sally sighed and moaned, thrusting her ass up as Frank pumped his fingers in and out of her rosette, spreading the lube. When he eased his finger from her anus and she felt the broad bulbous head of his cock at her star, she concentrated on relaxing her muscles.
As he began to penetrate her ass with his cock, she exhaled slowly.
“Love this ass, sweetheart,” Frank panted. “Such a sexy butt. So hot and tight.”
Sally mewled as she clenched her internal muscles, trying to get her men to move. After placing her hands on Rick’s chest, she pushed up and searched for Will.
He was ready and waiting for her, on his knees near her shoulders, his hand pumping up and down his long, thick, hard cock. Sally licked her lips and then leaned slightly to the side. She twirled her tongue around the tip of Will’s cock tasting the spicy sweetness of her his pre-cum and th
en she opened her mouth wide and took his cock into her mouth as far as she could.
“Fuck, baby. That feels so good.”
Sally hummed and Will groaned.
“That’s it, love,” Rick rasped. “Suck Will’s cock and make him come.”
She shook and moaned as she had a mini orgasm and when she began to bob over Will’s cock faster, Frank and Rick began to move.
Frank drew from her ass until just the tip of his dick was inside of her anus and as he stroked back into her rosette, Rick retreated from her pussy.
Sally licked and sucked on Will’s cock, hollowing her cheeks each time she took him back into her mouth, giving him as much pleasure as she could. He growled and groaned, and when she licked at the rough spot underneath where his shaft and head met, he trembled and moaned.
Rick and Frank gripped her hips and ribs, holding her up between them as they made love to her. Each time their cocks slid in and out of her ass and cunt, the heat in her womb grew hotter and hotter. Her muscles began to tense up as the coil grew tighter and tighter as she raced toward her peak, but Sallyanne was determined to make Will come first.
She cupped his balls before scraping her nails over the soft skin causing him to moan and then she rolled his testes.
“Fuck yes, baby. I’m so close,” Will panted.
Sally drew Will into her mouth so deeply the tip of his cock touched the back of her throat. After inhaling deeply through her nose she took him down a bit further and swallowed.
That was all it took to send Will over the edge. His cock grew hotter just before it expanded and then it twitched and pulsed in her mouth as he came with a shout. Sally sucked and swallowed, savoring the taste of his cum on the back of her throat as she drank his cum down. She would have smiled with satisfaction when he flopped to the mattress still trembling and gasping from his climax, but she was so close to her own, all she could do was moan.
“I’m not gonna last,” Frank rasped as he thrust into her ass.
“Me neither,” Rick moaned.
“Make her come,” Frank ordered as he plucked and pinched at her nipples.
