“There, bossy. All finished.” She handed him the bowl. They walked together to the sink. He washed the bowl while she dried it and then placed the bowl with the others on the far side. Landon admired her ass. The full curves would look gorgeous in one of the red thongs he’d brought her.
Gavin’s orders came back to him. Following behind her, Landon pressed her against the fridge. The smile on her lips fell.
“What’s the matter?” she asked. She licked her lips, and taking things slow went out of the window. Landon wanted her, and waiting for her to get on the same thought process was no longer acceptable.
“I need to do something.”
He leaned in close. Heidi pressed a hand against his lips stopping him from taking what he wanted.
“What are you doing?”
Taking hold of her hand, Landon pressed it against the fridge. “Trust me, Heidi. I’d never hurt you, but there is something I’ve wanted to do for some time. I need to know if you taste as good as you look.”
Before she got a chance to protest, Landon slammed his lips down on hers. The plump flesh opened up to his onslaught. He plunged his tongue between her lips relishing the taste of her. Running his hands up and down her body, Landon caught her to him. All of his dreams were being answered in that one simple kiss.
She moaned, wrapping her arms around his neck. Heidi pressed against him, and any chance of holding back was lost.
“No, we can’t,” she said, breaking the kiss.
“Yes, we can. I want this, Heidi, and so do you.” He brushed her lips with his again. Touching wasn’t enough. Landon started to unbutton her blouse. He stroked her rounded stomach, moving the blouse out of the way to cup one of her full mounds. Her nipple pressed against his palm.
Heidi pushed him away. Her shirt was open with only the top button fastened. “What about Gavin?” she asked.
“If only you knew.” Landon lifted her onto the counter. “I’ve waited too fucking long to have you in my life. Derek’s a fucking idiot. The moment you told me about your divorce I was so happy. You’re mine.”
Laughing, he cupped her face, staring into her eyes. The love he felt for her was reflected in his gaze, or at least he hoped it was.
“This is crazy. I can’t come between you two.”
Opening her thighs, Landon stepped between them. “You’ve got no idea what we’ve got planned.”
He ran his thumb over her bottom lip watching her gasp.
“What part of ‘take it slow’, didn’t you understand?” Gavin said.
Landon chuckled as Heidi gasped. She pushed him away making him stumble. He watched as she jumped off the counter, doing up her shirt.
“You don’t need to do that,” Gavin said.
“I’m so sorry,” she said.
Pulling her into his arms, Landon stared at his man. Gavin, the Dom, stood in his place with his arms folded over his chest.
“The moment I kissed her I couldn’t keep my hands off her. She’s so fucking beautiful.”
She fought him.
“Stop fighting, Heidi. This is what I was hoping to avoid, Landon. You’ve earned a punishment for your bad behaviour.”
“Punishment?” Heidi stared between them. Her eyes were wide with shock.
“Nothing to be frightened of, sweetheart.” Landon tried to reassure her. He understood in that instant why Gavin wanted to work slowly.
Gavin walked over to her, took her hand, and then took her into the sitting room. He followed the two people he loved hoping Gavin could sort out his fuck up.
“I’m not angry,” Gavin said.
“You saw us kissing. I’m so sorry. I never want to come between you two. I’m not a slut, I promise.” She sounded so upset and panicked.
Landon raised an eyebrow at his man. Tears fell down her cheeks. Before she said anything else, Gavin slammed his lips down on hers. He watched as the other man loved her lips in the way a proper Dom was supposed to. There was no denying who Gavin was in that moment. He took possession of her lips, and in that one action he claimed Heidi as his own as well.

The moment his lips touched her Gavin didn’t want to let go. Her lips were plump, inviting, and everything he’d hoped they would be.
Reluctantly, he pulled away from her lips. “Does that answer your question?” he asked.
She stared opened-mouthed between them. Landon took a seat on top of the wooden coffee table. “I don’t get it. You’re in a relationship. Why are you kissing me?”
Taking her hands in his, Gavin stroked her palms. The skin was rough from hard work. He frowned. She should have soft skin.
Heidi tried to tug her hands away from him. “Don’t,” he said, ordering her.
“I don’t get this. None of this makes sense.”
“I’m bisexual,” Landon said.
Gavin looked forward to whipping his ass. There was a reason he’d intended to take their time with her. She’d not long been out of a bad relationship, and what they wanted from her wasn’t conventional at all.
“So?”
“So am I,” Gavin said. He’d thought he’d be satisfied with just Landon in his life. That one kiss with her proved him wrong. There was no way he’d settle with just Landon.
“So?” she asked again, staring between them. Her hazel eyes filled with confusion. He preferred her confusion to her pain.
“I think we should tell her straight,” Landon said.
Glaring at the man across from him, Gavin knew he was right. He may be right, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to get punished for his actions.
“Landon and I love each other, but we need a woman to make our lives complete,” he said.
“How can you love each other and need a woman? You’re not making sense to me.”
“I love him, baby. Gavin is part of me, but I also love you. I always have and always will.”
Her mouth opened. “You’re okay with this?” she asked him.
Gavin smiled. “I can see why he’s in love with you. He’s not breaking my heart with his declaration. I’ve known how he’s felt about you from the beginning. He said he’s loved you his whole life.”
She pulled her hands out of his, stood then sat down. “You love me?” she asked Landon.
“Yes, with my whole heart. I love you as much as I love Gavin.”
Heidi took a deep breath. She wasn’t running out on them freaking out. Gavin considered her reaction promising. “I know it’s hard to take in.”
“No, it’s confusing but not hard. You both love each other but need a woman to make yourselves feel complete. I’m with you on that. It’s Landon being in love with me that I’m struggling with.”
Tucking a curl behind her ear, Gavin smiled at her. “I can see why,” he said.
She ran fingers through her hair mussing up her brown locks. “Please, just tell me what you want from me. I’m struggling with keeping up.”
Landon made to speak.
“No, you’ve done enough,” Gavin said.
“I’m sorry, Sir.”
He glared at his man before returning his attention back to the woman beside him. “I’ll explain everything. I’m a dominant man, Heidi. I expect submission. I give the orders and expect to be obeyed. Do you understand that?”
She nodded then tucked more strands of hair behind her ear. “I understand what you’re saying.”
“Good, I’ll go into more detail later. Landon and I want to share you. We both desire you in our lives.”
“What? As some kind of shared girlfriend?” she asked.
Her brow was furrowed as she spoke. All he wished to do was reach out and press his thumb against her brow.
“In a way.”
Heidi licked her lips.
Gavin groaned. He broke the gap between them to claim her lips once again. She moaned as he plunged his tongue deep into her mouth. He’d been completely wrong. Landon would never have satisfied his craving. He could see Heidi at his feet in submissio
n. She’d look beautiful bound at his feet. Imagining her with arms tied behind her back and her head bowed ready in supplication made his groin tighten in yearning.
Clearing his throat, Gavin glanced away from her.
Get your head in the game.
“I want you to think about what I’ve said. We both want you, Heidi. This is not a game or some cruel joke. Neither Landon nor myself are anything like your fuck-head of an ex. We’ll take care of you, and you’ll want for nothing.” He cupped her cheek, tilting her head back with a thumb under her chin. Gavin grabbed the keys to his truck from his back pocket. “Take these keys, go and take a walk around town. Creek Valley is a beautiful place in summer as I’m sure you remember. Get your bearings, and think about what I’ve said. I’m offering you unlimited pleasure along with passion and respect. Think about it, and come back tonight for dinner. We’ll talk after.”
He pressed the keys against her palm. Signalling to Landon, he walked out the front door. Several minutes later his man joined him.
“Are you insane?” Landon asked. “What if she doesn’t come back?”
“I’m already giving you twenty lashings tonight with the fucking paddle. Do you want me to add orgasm denial as well?” Gavin growled the words at the man.
Landon’s head bowed. “No, Sir. I’m sorry for speaking out of turn.”
Nodding, Gavin led the way to one of the fields. “Heidi is not long out of a bad relationship. She needs to learn to trust. I wanted to give her time to adapt to our presence. However, you’ve taken that out of our hands.” Running fingers through his hair, Gavin watched as his truck pulled out of the driveway. “We give her today. Let her come to terms with what I’ve said.”
“You like her?”
“Yes, I do. You were right, Landon. We need a third to complete us. I didn’t think we did, but you were right, and I’m willing to concede. However, I’ll only accept Heidi. That’s the deal,” Gavin said.
“I don’t want anyone else. Heidi has always been the girl for me. She just doesn’t know it.”
****
Walking around Creek Valley brought back plenty of happy memories. Heidi parked the truck in the library parking lot. Going inside the library reminded her of the many times she’d taken out books for reading and studying. She smiled at the librarians as she passed the main desk. Heidi ran her fingers across the spines of books while she passed the shelves. On the way out, she took the time to gaze around her. The town looked beautiful with the sun bearing down highlighting all of its beauty.
Inhaling the warm air, she walked down the street gazing into the windows of the variety of shops. She passed the diner, along with books shops and a small supermarket. At the end of the first street a sex shop was on the street corner. Several women walked out of the shop giggling. The sight of the shop reminded her why she was in the main town of Creek Valley. Crossing the street she went into the diner and took the seat near the window.
She ordered a coffee before returning her gaze to the sex shop outside. Derek liked to tell her how bad she was at sex. She wasn’t desirable enough and couldn’t suck cock the way he liked. Shaking her head, she sipped the coffee the woman brought to her.
“Well, I’ll be damned. Heidi Larson is back in the flesh,” a woman said.
Turning in the direction of the noise she saw a woman the same age as herself with a swollen stomach coming toward her. The blonde woman looked familiar.
“Wendy?” Heidi asked. For some reason she felt the woman was a Wendy.
Hands on hips the woman glared down at her. “No. Patricia Mead.”
She remembered the woman. They had gone to high-school together when she’d lived in town. Heidi smiled at the woman. “Have a seat. I remember you now. You used to be on the chess club.”
Patricia smiled. “I’m not Mead now. I’m Nickleson. I married Bernard, and this is our second child.” She rubbed her stomach.
“It’s nice to meet you, and congratulations on the second baby.” Heidi signalled the waitress.
“What are you doing here?” Patricia asked.
“I’m back. I’m staying with Landon and Gavin. They own the ranch on the outskirts of town. I’m waiting for my house to be finished before I move in.” Heidi explained her situation.
“Now those two men are hot stuff. Wish I’d caught their eye. No, not really. Gavin is too dominant for me. I love my Bernard. He goes easy on me.”
Heidi caught up with the woman and promised to stop by at some point. In about twenty minutes she was alone with her thoughts. Gazing outside, she watched as Bernard came to pick up his wife. The love on the guy’s face was clear to see. He stared at her and gave her a wave.
Heidi watched as he kissed Patricia deeply before helping her into the passenger side of a truck. A small boy poked his head out. She couldn’t help but laugh. The love on display made her yearn for something similar. What she’d experienced with Derek was anything but love. Letting out a sigh, she ordered a burger with fries along with another coffee. Gavin’s words came back to her.
“I want you to think about what I’ve said. We both want you, Heidi. This is not a game or some cruel joke. Neither Landon nor myself are anything like your fuck-head of an ex. We’ll take care of you, and you’ll want for nothing.”
His words were so tempting. What he promised made her want to give in and take what he offered. She’d been married to Derek, and all he’d given her was trouble.
Picking up the burger she took a bite. Three people walked into the diner. Both men were hugging and kissing one woman. The giggles and sighs made her watch them wondering how she’d feel to be on the receiving end of such lust.
Wait, two men to one woman.
She watched them pass. No one was paying the three any attention. Heidi finished her food then made her way out to the truck. The sun was going down, and she wanted to be near the ranch before darkness claimed the tiny town. She drove on the road thinking about Gavin’s words along with what she’d witnessed that afternoon.
The ranch was just up ahead. She parked on the road staring up ahead at the future.
“No man would ever want you. You’re a fat waste of space.”
Closing her eyes, she cut off the spiteful comments. Derek was well known for his nastiness.
“Come on, Heidi. The answer is looking you right in the face.”
Night had fallen by the time she started the engine. She drove into the front driveway. Gavin and Landon charged out of the house. Both men looked ready to commit murder. Landon had the driver’s door open and was pulling her out of the truck.
“Where have you been? We were worried about you,” Landon said. His voice was filled with anger.
“I was just up the road.” She pointed behind her at the darkened road.
“Rule number one, never, ever, wait until darkness to get home. You find some way of getting in touch with us, do you understand?” Gavin said, moving forward to take her in his arms. His large arms surrounded her.
She stared up into his face. He looked relieved.
“I’m sorry. I’m not used to having someone care for me,” she said.
Derek never once checked up on her. If she was late home then she was late. He wasn’t going to look after her.
“I didn’t mean to scare either of you.”
They escorted her in the house. “We were ready to call the sheriff and have a search put out.”
Heidi laughed. “I wasn’t gone.”
“It’s not a laughing matter.” Gavin paused, taking a deep breath.
Chapter Four
The moment darkness descended, Gavin had thought the worst. He wasn’t a heartless bastard, and he cared about her even though he’d not known her for very long. Pouring some milk over grated chocolate, he gave the mixture a stir, poured it into a cup, then passed it to her.
“I’m really sorry for giving you a scare,” she said.
He’d not been able to handle talking to her much longer. Gavin was struggling to
rein in his temper. The Dom inside him wanted to punish her. He wished to take her over his knee so she’d know exactly what she’d done to him.
Do it. Show her who the boss is.
She doesn’t think anyone cares about her.
Show her!
Taking the drink from her fingers, Gavin took the seat next to her. “I’m only going to tell you this once,” he said.
He tapped his knee. “Get over, now.”
“Gavin—”
Cutting Landon off, he helped Heidi over his knee.
“I think this is really unnecessary,” she said. She struggled over his knee. Her tits pressed against his thigh. Placing a hand over her back he caressed her buttocks.
“I never gave you permission to be insolent. We want you to be with us, Heidi. This is how it’s going to be. You either follow my rules or you get punished. You scared the shit out of me, and that’s unacceptable. From now on you consider your safety first. I don’t give a shit what Derek did before. When you’re with us, you’ll do as you’re told.”
He didn’t give her time to answer. Gavin raised his hand and brought his palm against her ass. She yelped. He continued to rain blows on her denim-covered ass. There was no way he’d allow Landon to get away with such insolence. He wouldn’t allow his woman to get away with it either.
“I’m sorry,” she said, crying out.
After he’d slapped her ass ten times he pulled her up. Gavin stood, cupping her cheek. “You’re important to me. I never want to hear or see you put yourself in danger. You’ll consider your safety first. Otherwise I’ll do far worse than spank your ass, do you understand?” he asked.
She nodded.
He waited to make sure she understood before pulling her into his arms. Resting his face against her neck Gavin breathed in her lovely scent.
“I’m sorry,” she said, again.
“Stop saying that word. I’ll know you’ve learned your lesson so long as you don’t do it again.”
“Okay.”
“You’ll sit here while I make you some food. Don’t move,” he said.
Gavin placed her on the seat then moved toward the kitchen. Landon followed close behind him.
