Orchidea: Love on the Bayou 5
Angelina
Angelina Aubert has been waiting on Tye, Mike, Jacque, Terrance, and Lucifer Bouchet to make a move. If they don’t hurry, someone else might take her, for good.
While hanging out at Dominate, a club owned by the Bouchets, Angelina is drugged by someone looking to abduct her. She is saved, thanks to high-tech security and the watchful eye of Terrance Bouchet.
When her best friend is taken, they all realize Angelina’s near abduction is part of a larger problem—a man is taking women and selling them for profit. The Bouchet brothers will do anything they can to keep Angelina safe. The best place to do that seems to be their bed.
Just as there’s a break in the case, the bad guys strike again, and Angelina’s destiny becomes uncertain.
Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among siblings.

Prologue
Angelina Aubert looked at the clock for the tenth time. It was only two o’clock. Damn. Why did I drink so much last night?
She was chopping the vegetables and nearly cut her finger again.
“Hey, why don’t I do that and you go check on the order for table five?” Illeanna said as she took the knife from Angelina’s hand. Illeanna and Ellena knew she was hungover.
“That must have been one hell of a party you and the girls went to. Are Vera and Elle feeling as good as you are?” Ellena asked as she wiped her hands on her apron.
“It was the after party that did me in. Vera and Elle have hollow legs. There’s no other explanation for it,” Angelina said as she looked in the mirror, fixed her lip gloss, then went to check on the food order. She washed her hands then took the two large plates of jambalaya with the side of biscuits and headed out of the kitchen.
* * * *
“You should have warned her before you sent her out there. She’s liable to drop that food when she sees who’s sitting at table five,” Illeanna stated to her sister.
Ellena shrugged her shoulders. “Tye and Mike haven’t asked her out. They’ve been blowing her off every time they come by here. Why do you think she’s been going out with Elle and Vera so much?” Ellena asked.
“Well, I think we should talk to her. I’m worried that she might hook up with some guy just to do it.”
“No, not Angelina. She’s too smart for that.”
“It’s not her judgment I’m worried about. It’s the types of guys that are out there. She’s not hanging out in Orchidea. She’s hitting the French Quarter and the clubs.”
“If you’re that worried, we’ll talk to her tomorrow at Angelique’s.” Ellena looked through the small opening that gave a view of the dining area. All Angelina had to do was take a peek out of it before she grabbed the food. She must really be hungover.
* * * *
Son of a bitch! Ellena is getting it.
Angelina nearly stumbled when she saw Mike and Tye sitting at the dining table in the corner of the room. Both were dressed casually and appearing just as good looking as always. Tye, with his brown hair and pretty-boy features, looked as if he stepped out of a Tommy Hilfiger photo shoot. Neither man noticed her yet as they spoke in what appeared to be a deep conversation. Mike looked serious and kind of angry. At six feet tall with muscles and a trim build, his ultimate fighter physique would make any woman’s mouth water. That was the problem. They had their choice of so many women, so why would they choose her? Her headache just got a whole lot worse.
“Excuse me, gentlemen, your meals are ready,” she said, avoiding looking at either man. She set Mike’s platter down first, then Tye’s before placing the basket of biscuits between them.
“Would you like another round of sweet tea?” she asked, still not making eye contact with them. It was better this way. If she looked at them, s
he would feel the need and the desire build up again. She couldn’t take their disinterest.
“Hello, Angelina. How are you?” Mike asked.
“Good. Is there anything else you need?” she asked, glancing at him a moment and then at Tye. They both just stared at her with expressions of concern and maybe anger. Since they didn’t respond, she turned to walk away, but Tye grabbed her wrist. She looked back at him as he quickly released his hold as if touching her made him disgusted. Her cheeks warmed with embarrassment and suddenly she felt angry.
“What?” she snapped at him, and he raised his eyebrows at her.
“Are you okay? You seem tense and look tired,” Tye said.
“I’m busy.”
“Are you feeling all right?” Mike asked this time. He was giving her one of his analytical looks. God, these men made her feel imperfect.
She leaned down closer, making sure that she whispered as the annoyance filled her body.
“I don’t have time for this. It’s none of your business, so if you don’t want any drinks or to order more food, then enjoy your jambalaya,” she said with a strong Cajun attitude accompanied by a smile.
They both appeared taken aback.
“Two more sweet teas, darling,” Mike said, and she abruptly turned and went to get the sweet teas.
She fixed the two glasses, added two new straws and thought about what just happened. It was none of their business if she was tired or hungover. Why were they even asking and looking like they cared when they didn’t? Feeling aggravated, she walked back over and set the two glasses down in front of them.
“How is the jambalaya?” she asked, trying to ignore the previous conversation.
“Very good, as always,” Mike said then wiped his mouth. She couldn’t help but stare at his lips and then his brown eyes. She was busted.
“Late night last night?” Tye asked her as he leaned back in his chair. He sounded like he was scolding her.
“Again, Tye, none of your business.”
“You should get some rest tonight. Maybe some more sleep will help. You’re young and you work too hard,” Mike offered. There he went making that same comment about how young she was. Every time they talked or met at Angelique’s or in town, he always mentioned something about her age. She’d had it.
She placed her hands on her hips and looked at him.
“I’ll be fine, just a little hungover is all. Us youngsters like to party and can survive on little sleep.” She turned around and walked back into the kitchen.
* * * *
Mike whistled low at the attitude and response from sweet little Angelina. He watched her ass wiggle as she walked and when she stopped by another table asking for a check, he saw how the abrupt movement made her breasts sway. She was well built.
“I guess we pissed her off,” Tye said as he took another bite of food.
“That’s all we seem to do to her lately. This is driving me nuts, Tye. Isn’t knowing that she’s going out with her friends drinking and partying upsetting you?”
Tye swallowed another mouthful of food.
“We agreed to wait. She’s twenty-six years old. She hasn’t even had a boyfriend. Terrance and Lucifer have a good point. We know that if we pursue Angelina, then it’s forever. That means no more parties, no more experimenting to see if a ménage is what the five of us want.”
“We don’t even know if Jacque wants in. He’s still trying to figure things out.”
“Well, he’s done with the service, he’s limited the number of fighting competitions he enters and he’s been dating a bunch. Maybe we could get his final answer.”
“Angelina is special, Tye. I already see that. We’ve tried to get her out of our heads. Hell, we’ve tried to the point of nearly bringing every dark-haired beauty to bed we came across and ultimately couldn’t go through with the sex. I’d say that you and I know we want her, so we need to decide when to confront her.”
“It’s not that easy and you know it. I think that the moment we bring Angelina around Terrance, Lucifer, and Jacque, then they’ll want her, too.”
“Well, isn’t that the point of waiting? Her sisters are involved with ménage relationships. It’s not like we have to explain our wants and desires to her.”
“Look at her body, her petite size, and her sweet personality. The woman is a sex goddess with the personality of a Catholic schoolgirl.”
Mike and Tye chuckled.
“She didn’t sound like a Catholic schoolgirl when she just told us off.”
Mike looked toward the kitchen. Angelina had yet to return.
“We need to talk to the others. I’m thinking about her all dressed up, going out with her friends for a good time and all those twenty-something-year-old horny guys trying to get up her skirt. I can’t take it.” Mike threw down his napkin.
Tye dropped his fork and suddenly appeared as if he’d lost his appetite, too.
“She’s not easy. She doesn’t sleep around.”
“I’m not saying that she’s easy. I’m not a hypocrite, Mike. If she did sleep with a few guys, I’m not one to judge her on that. Look at all of us? Look at those parties we’ve gone to.”
“That reminds me. We have one next Friday night.”
“I know. Maybe that will be the last one we go to.”
Tye looked toward the kitchen door, noticing Angelina talking with an older couple by the front of the dining area. She was a gorgeous young woman, but he and his brothers had special interests and needs. They lived a completely different lifestyle than what Angelina was used to. He didn’t want to hurt her, but the need to have her was turning into desperation.
Chapter 1
“So Mike and Tye were acting like your fathers?” Elle asked Angelina as Vera drove the car.
“Pretty much. It was so stupid. I mean they acted like I’m a teenager and were reprimanding me.” Angelina shook her head as she held her purse on her lap.
“I think you should forget about them and move on. I mean, I know they’re smoking hot and rich, but damn, Angelina, you’re a hottie. Men drool over you wherever we go. You have your choice of men, so why not take your pick and go for it?” Vera asked.
“She has a point. They’re obviously not interested in you for whatever reason,” Elle said.
“You know I’m not like that. I can’t even let a guy kiss me unless there are feelings there. I’m not going to do something stupid just because Mike and Tye pissed me off. Let’s just stop talking about them or it will ruin the night. So where are we headed anyway?”
Vera and Elle smiled.
“Dominate,” Vera said with attitude. Angelina gasped then got so excited.
“Holy shit! How the hell are we going to get in there? It’s like the hardest.”
Vera blew on her fingernails.
“You know that guy Felix I met last night? He just happens to work there.”
“Wow, Vera, I’m impressed. You must be good,” Elle teased and Angelina chuckled.
“Practice makes perfect.”
Elle and Angelina laughed as Vera smoothed her hands down her sides and then cupped her breasts adjusting the cleavage.
Angelina sometimes wondered how she even kept her virginity hanging around Vera and Elle. They were so outspoken and wild sometimes. Their experience with men scared Angelina. Plus, her two best friends dressed so provocatively, while Angelina dressed more conservatively. Like tonight, Vera and Elle had on sexy, tight-fitting outfits that showed every bit of curve they had. Both women were super thin with average-size breasts but pretty faces. They were good looking. Elle had long brown hair and big green eyes, while Vera had short strawberry-blonde hair in a bob to her shoulders and big blue eyes.
Angelina could never fit her boobs into dresses like theirs. She also didn’t like advertising her body, so tonight she wore a very classy red, strapless dress that landed above her knees but flared out slightly so it wasn’t too hard to sit down. Her heels were high and her jewelry simple. A small single pe
arl hung from her neck by a thin, nearly transparent wire. She kept her hair down and wore matching earrings.
It was almost ten by the time they arrived at the club. The line of people waiting to get in wrapped all the way to the corner.
“Holy crap. Are you sure about this, Vera?” Elle asked as she located a parking spot two blocks up the street.
Vera was on her cell phone texting.
“All set. Just walk up front and give our names.” Vera smiled.
They locked up the car and headed down the two blocks. Angelina saw all the people who just seemed to give the three of them the stare down. It took guts to walk the waiting line and confidently approach the head bouncer. If this guy were messing with Vera, they would look like a bunch of idiots.
Elle gave her a bump in the side. “You checking out the prospects, Angelina, because these men are checking us out.” Angelina dared not look around. She wanted to get into Dominate and see what all the hype was about. Sure enough, as they approached the bouncers at the front of the line, their names were on the list. The three very large men were dressed in black, and one was wearing a black blazer. He spoke into his sleeve and Angelina knew this was a top-notch place and security was high.
“Felix was expecting you, ladies. Please, enjoy your evening at Dominate,” he told them, and Angelina saw the way he and the other bouncers looked Elle and Vera over. Then they looked at her. The one guy winked.
“Nice. Have fun,” he whispered as she passed by.
