“Oh, God,” I gasped and closed my eyes.
When I heard a foot scrape, I peeked between my lids. Harley’s shoulders were tight with rejection, and he was turning away.
“Don’t go.” I pushed at Payton’s shoulders to halt his motions. When we were still, I drew deep breaths to calm my heart and clear my head. “Tell me why you can’t be here.”
“You don’t understand,” Harley said. “I might have been able to do this, if you didn’t already have them, but…when you see me…next to them…”
“Try me,” I pleaded, my throat tightening. “Please don’t decide we won’t work without seeing me…watching you. I promise this isn’t pity or some extreme rehab. I want you here. We all do.”
Still not facing me, I watched while that muscle slid along the edge of his jaw as he ground his teeth. His head dipped. His eyes closed. And then his hands went to his zipper.
I held still. Once again, hardening myself against whatever it was he was hiding. I mean, I’d seen men without legs before. Several of Hunter’s SEAL team members had met similar fates. They’d adjusted. Their girlfriends and wives had stuck by them. No one flinched from the sight of their burned or maimed bodies.
But this was Harley. Sweet, funny, flirty Harley. His head swung my way. His gaze hardened and narrowed as he shoved down his pants.
I waited until he’d clumsily kicked away his clothing before I dropped my gaze. I swallowed hard. “Fuck, that’s so goddamn sexy,” I said, my voice hoarse. And I wasn’t lying. His body—flesh and prosthetic—was a study of scars and strength. The muscles of his abdomen rippled as he turned. Red scars marred his outer thigh, disappearing inside the cup of his prosthetic leg.
Payton snorted. “She’s not talking about your prick, man.”
Harley’s brows lowered. His brown eyes glistened.
I raised mine to meet his gaze. “I mean it. You’re fucking hot. Does that thing squeak while you fuck?”
Harley wiped a hand over his face then gave me a sexy glare. “You sure Hunter won’t cut off my dick?”
His irritation was all show. Relief showed in his stark expression. “Hunter wants me happy, baby. Tell him, Payton,” I said, my own eyes beginning to fill because I’d built this moment up in my mind for weeks now, and I’d worried about what I’d feel. I hadn’t wanted to disappoint Harley or feel ashamed of my reaction. And I’d worried for nothing. Everything was going to be all right. The way Harley’s body quivered as he stood there told me he wasn’t afraid anymore. Liberation from his fear made him shiver. I knew because I felt the same damn way.
Payton cupped my cheeks and used his thumbs to dry my tears. “Want me to show him how this is done?”
“I think I can figure it out,” Harley said, giving us both a one-sided smile. Harley’s old teasing smile. With his halting stride, he came to the couch and lowered himself beside Payton and me.
Marco tossed him a condom from the box on the side table. “There’s rules, buddy.”
Harley nodded, and a blush darkened his skin. “I can live with rules.”
So long as he could be inside me. He didn’t have to finish the thought. We all heard him loud and clear.
While he rolled a condom down his shaft, my vagina clenched around Payton.
Payton sighed. He raised his hand and pinched his thumb and forefinger together. “I was this close.”
We all laughed, relief making us all a little loud. With a big show of reluctance, Payton lifted me off his cock and moved me toward Harley’s lap.
Harley held up his hook. “Think you’d like to feel it squeeze something else?”
I widened my eyes. “Maybe after you’ve learned some finer motor skills.”
The men shared dirty chuckles.
I glanced downward at his cock, which was thick and reddened and bobbing against his belly. Without preamble, I rose on my knees, gripped his shaft, and centered him between my folds. When it was poised at my entrance, I glanced at Harley, feeling suddenly shy.
He must have understood, because he cupped the back of my head and brought me forward. When our lips met, I sighed, enjoying the soft kiss he gave me.
He leaned his forehead against mine. “Can’t promise I’ll last long,” he whispered. “I’ve been dreaming about this forever.”
I heard the other two men move away and pad down the hallway, leaving us alone. I rocked my head forward and kissed his mouth. “So have I.”
“Would it be a bad thing if I told you I’m a little in love with you?”
I smiled. “I love you, too. Think I’d be ready to fuck you if I didn’t?”
Harley smiled ruefully. “This doesn’t feel real.”
I rubbed my breasts against his chest, letting the tips tangle in his light fur. “Feels real to me. You ready?” I whispered.
“Jesus, fucking, hell,” he muttered. Then he gripped one side of my ass with his warm hand. But he didn’t push me down. He left me the choice. A final out.
Slowly, I lowered onto his cock. When our groins met, I paused, savoring the feel of him inside me.
“God, you’re hot.”
“Payton got me warmed up.”
“Should I worry he was here first?”
I lifted a brow. “I feel you. Every fucking inch, baby.” I gave him a sexy grind, and then rose and lowered and repeated the process until I felt warm all over. Soon enough, sweat broke on my brow. My breaths deepened.
I liked the way he felt—inside me, against me. All that rock-hard warmth and cool metal. Before long, I bounced, my movements more jarring, and moans beginning to rise from my throat—and his.
“Jesus, fuck,” he whispered and rubbed his bristled cheek against mine.
I mashed my chest against his, needing friction burning my nipples every bit as hot as what was happening below. My pussy was engorged. My clit pebble hard and scraping against his pubes. But I wanted to last just a bit longer, make it really good for him, show him how much he turned me on…
A hand slid over my shoulder, my hair was pushed forward, and a kiss landed on the back of my neck. Without glancing backward, I knew it was Hunter. He was there to show Harley it was all right to enjoy this, but also, to let him know who really owned my ass—in the crudest possible way.
A slick finger rubbed my asshole, and my pussy clamped around Harley’s dick.
“Easy there,” he said, then hissed a breath.
Desperation was in his eyes. He was ready to blow, and probably didn’t know the protocol here.
Going still, I reached down between our bodies and ringed the base of his cock, forestalling his orgasm. “It’s about to get wild,” I whispered.
The corners of Harley’s mouth twitched, but then he firmed his lips into a narrow line.
“Need to think about something else,” he gritted out and lifted his hook to clamp around my breast—with a little help from me pushing the fullness of my boob between the tines.
As Hunter worked a gel-slicked finger into my ass, he rubbed his cheek against mine.
I knew how he must look—feral and glaring at Harley. Making sure Harley knew who was in charge. Then he withdrew his fingers and moved closer to my back. He pressed against Harley’s thighs to widen them. Reached past his shoulder to brace a hand against the sofa back as he leaned into me. His cock pushed against my asshole.
I drew a sharp, hissing breath as he stretched the tiny muscles, making them burn.
“Relax, baby. Let me in,” he whispered. Slowly, he filled me.
My eyelids dipped. My breaths shortened. Fuck, I loved this. Loved being filled front and back. Impaled, held still, by two thick cocks. When my steplover began to move, I slowly eased my hand from the base of Harley’s cock and slid downward, taking all of both of them inside me.
Hunter began slowly, pushing in, pulling out.
With my breast still gripped by metal tines, I reached for Harley’s hand and placed it over the other. “Pinch it tight,” I whispered.
Harley twisted m
y nipple and clamped my breast. Hunter fucked in and out, just my thin inner wall separating him from rubbing all over Harley’s cock.
And Harley could feel it, wanted to resist it. His tightening jaw and desperate gaze told me he didn’t want to get off. Not yet.
But Hunter insisted, grinding and rubbing, then pounding the both of us.
I rested against Harley’s chest, curving my neck to slide my tongue along the edge of his jaw, the shell of his ear. Tasting him. “Like this, Harley?” I whispered. “Want to come with us?”
“Jesus, fuck,” he growled and kissed me hard.
The kiss must have angered Hunter, because he did something unexpected. Something that shocked me into an instant orgasm. He gripped Harley’s hair and bent closer to place a kiss directly on the other man’s mouth.
And Harley didn’t fight it. His jaw opened. There was tongue. I knew it. But the hottest sight I’d ever seen wasn’t one I could savor. I arched hard between their two bodies and screamed as pleasure exploded.

Later that night, I slipped from Hunter’s bed, donned one of his big tees, and headed to the kitchen. The light over the stove was on. One figure was seated at the kitchen bar.
I hadn’t seen Harley since we’d all separated, and Hunter had hauled me over his shoulder to take me straight to his bed to administer my punishment. Rubbing my sore ass, I stalled in the doorway, unsure how I’d be received. What had happened, between two extremely hetero guys, had rocked me to my core.
Harley cut his sandwich down the center and held up half.
Drawing a deep breath, I entered and took the barstool beside him. “Thanks,” I said, taking a big bite from the ham and cheese sandwich. I gave Harley a sideways glance.
“We’re not talking about it.”
“Which?” I said around a mouthful of food. “Us fucking or…the kiss?”
“Never happened,” he bit out.
“You know, Marco and Payton have shared kisses with me before, tongues tangled—”
“You weren’t there.”
I chuckled. “Yeah, Hunter’s going to pretend it never happened, too.” I gave an exaggerated shiver. “But it is great ammunition.”
We ate in companionable silence for a few more minutes. Then I swiveled on my seat to face him. “So, what do you think?”
“About what never happened?”
I rolled my eyes. So, who was obsessing now? “About this arrangement?”
Harley sighed. “Seems pretty crowded already.”
“Yeah, we’ll probably need a bigger place. Or we could move in some bunk beds.”
“Bigger place,” he said with a grunt.
I hid a smile and took another bite. He hadn’t outright refused. “We could get a house closer to the rehab center.”
“Or nearer Little Creek.”
“Want everyone in our business?”
He arched an eyebrow. “Are you planning on adding any more friends with benefits?”
I shook my head and reached out to caress his cheek. “I’m exhausted already. I don’t think I can handle any more of you studs.”
Harley’s gaze grew solemn, and he reached to tuck a lock of hair behind my ear. “Thanks.”
This time I lifted a brow. I deserved more.
Harley’s gaze dropped to his hook. “I’ve been stewing. Didn’t know what was next. Still don’t. But now…”
“You’re not alone,” I said, patting his cheek. “Your friends are still your friends. Hell, they might need you to pick them up someday, remind them there’s a happy ever after…even after…”
He gave me a crooked smile. “You really don’t mind?” he said, holding up his hook.
“Told you. It’s hot. Girls dig scars…and hooks.”
“And bionic legs?”
“Makes a girl wonder what else has been enhanced.”
We shared wicked grins then leaned close together to share a long, very wet kiss.
“Did I tell you I was this close?” Payton said from the doorway.
I flashed a smile at Harley and lifted my shoulders. “A woman’s work is never done.” I slid from the stool and padded toward Payton who wrapped an arm around my waist. As I gazed back at Harley, I didn’t see the man who’d looked so scared and defeated when he’d stood inside my doorway. I saw the proud SEAL.
He gave me a little two-fingered salute and took a bite of his sandwich.
I let Payton turn me toward the hallway. “Hope you’re rested,” I muttered.
“Baby, you won’t have to lift a finger.”

Watch Over Me
Navy SEAL Deke Warrick’s unsanctioned detail is to keep tabs on a congressman’s daughter while she vacations in the Caribbean. He’s determined to keep his distance from the beautiful Nicky Martir, but finds his limits tested when Nicky sets out to seduce him. What seemed like a simple mission becomes deliciously complicated—and then dangerous, when she’s snatched from their hotel room.
Her Next Breath
Ex-SEAL Jackson “Jax” Keller’s first mission with the Charter Group’s spec ops unit is a bust. Instead of capturing a drug lord in his Mexican compound, he finds a beautiful, naked woman. But she may have information they need to nail the narco-terrorist, so he takes her, sealing his fate. She’s his to watch, his to “manage” until the op’s done.
Suri McAnally’s made some mistakes—mainly trusting her college roomie who just so happens to be the son of one of Mexico’s most dangerous drug lords. If Jackson can save her, she’ll do whatever he says, mirror his moves, and try to keep her insta-lust under control. Her next breath depends on it.
Through Her Eyes
Ex-SEAL and expert sniper, Wolf Kinkaid, is taking a little downtime while he considers his options. Being wooed by two elite black ops groups, he’s enjoying Charter Group’s beach house while he considers his options. A loner by nature as well as occupation, he wonders if he’ll ever really connect to the people around him. Afraid his loner nature will sentence him to spending his life alone, he’s not sure he wants to continue looking down a scope, even if the pay’s good.
Bounty hunter Piper Ames loves the adrenaline rush she gets from her high-stakes hunts, but now, she has time on her hands as she waits for her collar to pop up his head so she can take him down. While she’s waiting, it doesn’t hurt that a big, buff, ex-military type is staying right next door. Not the least shy about going after what she wants, she’s surprised when he’s equally as aggressive. Their chemistry is off the charts, and the sex is the hottest she’s ever had.
While Wolf and Piper connect in the only way their independent natures allow, danger lurks. When her target comes, guns blazing, they have to pull together to make it out alive.
Dream of Me
After losing her partner and lover in a shootout, New Orleans police officer Aislin Dupree is tormented by memories of the past and the day she lost Marc LeBrun. At her dark
est hour, she discovers that Marc had planned a romantic getaway on a Caribbean island before his death. All expenses paid. She decides to take the trip, hoping the island getaway will help her come to terms with her sorrow. Instead, she meets a man, a friend of Marc’s from his time served as Navy SEAL.
Sam Blalock is like Marc in so many ways that he makes her ache for what she once had. Strong, rugged Sam is her rock, holding her when she breaks, encouraging her to move on, because he knows about the pain of loss and the horror of violence all too well. She soon finds her waking hours consumed by Sam while she roams her dreams in search of Marc. As the time approaches for her to go home, she’s afraid to let go of the connection she’s found, and she fears she might be holding onto Sam for all the wrong reasons while she imagines another reality where dreams do come true.
Baby, It’s You
Carter Vance, Jr. stands at the fork in the road. Wounded in action, the Navy SEAL has a decision to make: whether to find work with a spec ops unit, or return to his family ranch in Texas and repair his fractured relationship with his dying father and the woman he wronged. Complicating the decision is his reignited attraction to Melanie Schaeffer and his confusion over his feelings for his dead brother’s little girl, whom Melanie has raised since his brother’s and her sister’s deaths by a terrorist’s bomb.
Before We Kiss
Navy SEAL, William “Wiley” Coyote, should have known his “piece of cake” assignment would go sideways in a hurry. But he’d been lured by the promise of an all-expenses-paid cruise. A nice “fluffy” assignment after the last one spent escorting freighters through pirate-infested waters in the Strait of Hormuz.
A general’s daughter, Poppy Shackleford, isn’t some spoiled daughter of a man made famous for defeating insurgent forces. She’s endured her own tragedies—the loss of her mother when she was young and her father stationed in Afghanistan, and the loss of her fiancé after he sustained wounds in Iraq. Not from the physical wounds that claimed his legs—he took his own life. His death is why Poppy is involved in Soldiers’ Sanctuary, a non-profit that helps disabled soldiers adjust to their new circumstances. Which is why, despite the current threats against her father, she’s on this cruise, assessing the ship’s ability to accommodate the soldiers, rather than sending a surrogate.
