Rance sat and listened to everything Tessa said. If it could only be that easy. She just didn’t understand and he wasn’t so sure he did either. He couldn’t get over the past. The mistakes he had made and the thought of hurting her scared the hell out of him. Velma showed up with their dinner, putting an end to the conversation for now.
“Here you go, sweetie.” She placed Tessa’s plate in front of her, then Rance’s. “I’ll freshen up your tea. Anything else you two might need?”
“This looks wonderful, Mizz Velma. I think we’re good for now.”
“Smells heavenly,” Tessa told her.
“You kids just holler if you need anything else.”
“We’ll talk about this later, Tessa, but you do need to understand something. I haven’t been with a woman by myself since I was sixteen. That’s not gonna change. Now, eat up.”
Seriously? He just told her something like that and expected her to eat and not question him. She would put this conversation on hold for now but she would get to the bottom of this. If he couldn’t be alone with her, this relationship with the three of them wouldn’t work. Maybe she had made a mistake in getting her hopes up. She had never been so happy as when she was with them and she didn’t want it to end.
“Tessa, food’s getting cold, you need to eat, baby. I said we will talk later.” He was using what she suspected to be his Dom voice. Damn, he was bossy.
Tessa took a bite even though she wasn’t hungry any longer. The thought of not being with them made her sick to her stomach. How could such a fun day turn out like this? She felt as if her heart was breaking. Rance got up and slid next to her, cupping her face and turning it to look in her eyes. “Tessa, I do love you, we will work this out. I will give you everything, every piece of me that I can, but there are some things I won’t be able to change about me. I’m broken. I have been for a very long time. Now eat or I will feed you.” He kissed her and she wanted to crawl into his lap and just hold him. She would help him and do whatever she had to do to help him overcome whatever was bothering him. It would just take time and patience, and she would give him both. He broke the kiss as Mizz Velma said, “I brought you some more tea, but your dinners are getting cold. Now, Rance, let that little lady go and get on back over here and eat.”
Rance laughed as he kissed Tessa on the nose. “Yes, ma’am,” he told her as he slid back into the other side of the booth.
Tessa ate as much as she could and Rance finished what she couldn’t. Velma asked if they wanted dessert and Tessa passed but Rance had a piece of banana cream pie. Velma brought them the bill and said, “It was good to see you, Rance. Don’t be a stranger. I’m glad to see you again also, sweetie. You keep this rascal out of trouble and have a safe drive back. I’ll keep your daddy in my prayers.”
Tessa stood and hugged Velma. “Thank you so much. We will be back for sure and soon. Tell Jerry dinner was amazing.”
Rance tossed a fifty-dollar bill on the table, turned to Velma, and said, “Don’t argue, it’s worth that and more.” Then he smiled and kissed her cheek. “We’ll be back soon, Tessa loves the Harley, and it will give us an excuse to ride. Take care, Mizz Velma.”
As they approached the Harley, Tessa decided that maybe she could give Rance some ideas that might help him overcome what was bothering him. “Rance, have you ever done it on a Harley?”
“Done what, baby?”
“You know it, sex. Have you ever had sex on a Harley?”
“No.”
“Do you want to?
“No.”
“Why not? Just think about it. You can straddle the Harley and I could straddle you and take you for a ride.”
Rance could feel his cock growing inside his jeans at Tessa’s suggestion, but he knew nothing would happen. He wouldn’t let it. “If that is something you want to do, we can talk to Mitch and Sam when we get home and have our own private party in the garage.”
“But I don’t want to include them, Rance. The Harley is our thing, not theirs. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy all of us together, a lot, but sometimes it needs to be just us. I want to focus on you, only you, and make love only to you.”
“Well then I’m sorry, Tessa, because it’s not gonna happen. It can’t.”
“Oh yes it will,” Tessa whispered. It’s only a matter of time. They were quiet for the rest of the ride to The Spur. It was almost nine when they pulled in. Tessa saw Mitch’s truck in the parking lot and knew that her other two men would be in there waiting for her. She was excited to see them and tell them about her dad. The rest of her day was for Rance only and she wouldn’t share that with them, except she would tell them how much she loved riding the Harley and dinner at the diner. She didn’t want to talk about her mom and knew that Rance would fill them in on the conversation later. As soon as Rance turned the bike off, Tessa jumped off then right back on, throwing her leg over the front of Rance and straddling him, pushing closer and wrapping her leather-clad legs around his waist until her pussy was flush against his cock. Rance took his helmet off, then did the same with Tessa’s. With her arms wrapped around his neck, she rubbed her pussy against his cock and moaned. “Mmmm, that feels so good. Just imagine if we didn’t have any clothes on.”
Rance stood, taking Tessa with him. She lowered her legs to the ground. “It feels real good, baby, but like I said, it’s not gonna happen. Come on, let’s get inside before you get any other ideas in that pretty little head of yours. Keep this up and you’re gonna end up getting that cute little ass of yours spanked when the four of us get home.” He kissed her quickly as he took her hand and walked across the parking lot.
When they walked through the door, all eyes turned to them. Tessa held on to Rance’s hand as they walked over to the table that Mitch and Sam sat at. She looked around, wondering if her stalker was here watching her now. She wasn’t going to let him control her actions or her life. Mitch and Sam stood and Rance helped her take her jacket off. “Hi, guys, did you miss me?” she asked with a twinkle in her eye.
“You know we did, come here.” Mitch pulled her into his arms and kissed her as everyone watched. When he let her go she turned around and let Sam pull her close and kiss her as well. If there was any question that she was dating all three of them, there wouldn’t be now.
Mitch pulled out a chair for Tessa and she sat down. “What do you want to drink, darlin’?”
“Just a diet soda, thanks.”
Mitch waved over the waitress who glared at Tessa as he ordered her drink. “How was your visit with your dad?”
“It was great. He looks so much better. He’s coming home on Tuesday. He asked me where I was staying and I told him with you guys.”
“Was he upset about that?”
“After I explained that I didn’t want to bring any danger to Brad’s family or Lanni, and Rance explained to him that I was going to get a room at the hotel and that wouldn’t be safe either, he seemed to be fine with it. He asked me if I would be coming home on Tuesday and I told him no. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Sugar, you can stay forever as far as we’re concerned,” Sam told her.
“You’re sweet, Sam, but let’s just take one day at a time. I would like to go by the house tomorrow and pick up some more of my things if you don’t mind. I need more work clothes for sure.”
“No problem, darlin’, we can go over there any time tomorrow and get whatever you need.”
Tessa looked up and saw Ally come through the door followed by Lanni, Kayden, and Claire. Tessa stood up and walked over to Ally and hugged her. “You were right. Dad looked really good. He’s coming home on Tuesday.”
“Yeah, I’m so happy and I know Mom is ready to come home. You look incredible by the way.”
Tessa smiled then turned to give a hug to Lanni and Kayden and even Claire got a hug. “I’m so glad you could make it. Do you know everyone here?”
“Ally introduced me to Lanni and Kayden in the parking lot. We all pulled in at the same time. I know Mitch,
and I’ve seen his brothers but I’ve never been introduced.”
Tessa took her hand and walked her closer to the table. “Rance and Sam, this is Claire Rogers. Claire, that handsome cowboy over there is Sam and this bad boy right here is Rance.”
Rance pulled her into his lap and nipped her lip. “Bad boy, huh? You just wait till we get home tonight, naughty girl. I’ll show you how bad I can be,” he whispered in her ear.
Tessa’s clit throbbed just from Rance’s threat. Her panties became instantly soaked. “Mmm, is that a promise?” Tessa asked as she nipped at his earlobe. She heard Claire tell Sam that it was nice to meet him and remembered that they weren’t alone and gave Rance a quick kiss as she slid off his lap.
“It’s nice to meet you also, Rance,” Claire said looking a little uncomfortable.
Ally and Mitch pulled up another table to join theirs along with enough chairs for everyone. Mitch bought the first round of drinks and everyone appeared to be having a good time. The music changed and “A Buncha Girls” by Frankie Ballard started to play. All the girls stood and headed for the dance floor. Tessa’s men were glad they were sitting close to the dance floor so that they could keep an eye on her. Just like the song said, “Nothing drives the boys right out of their mind like a buncha girls.” It was just one hot little woman all in leather that was driving each of them out of their minds. The next song came on and Sam couldn’t take it anymore. “I’m going to dance with Tessa,” he told his brothers as “Wanna Take You Home” by Gloriana came on.
Sam moved in behind Tessa and put his hands on her hips, whispering, “Hey, sugar.” He didn’t want to startle her. She looked over her shoulder and smiled.
“Hey, lover, you gonna take me back to your place?” Then she giggled as she pressed against him, continuing to sing the words of the song to him as they danced together. Sam had never enjoyed dancing this much but with Tessa rubbing her body all over him, bending over, and wiggling her hips to the music, he didn’t think his cock was going to survive. She was the hottest thing on the dance floor and she belonged to him. She was giving him a massive hard-on and she knew it. God, she could move. He could watch her dance all night.
“You’re gonna pay for that later, you little tease,” he whispered in her ear. She just laughed and turned around in his arms.
“Rance already promised me a spanking later. How are you gonna punish me, cowboy?”
“I’m gonna bury my face in the hot little pussy of yours—” She cut him off before he could finish.
“That doesn’t sound like punishment. If it is I’m gonna be bad all the time.”
“You didn’t let me finish, sugar. After I start eating the beautiful pussy of yours and you’re right on the edge ready to come, I’m gonna bring you back down and start all over again. By the time I let you come you’ll be crying and begging me to let you spill that tasty honey into my mouth.”
“You would really do that to me? Not let me come and torture me?”
“Yes I would, sugar, but when I do let you come, you will shatter like you never have before. You’ll love it.”
Tessa covered Sam’s mouth with hers. She didn’t care that there were people all around them. She wanted him right now. “Let’s go home,” she told him.
“Not yet, sugar, your punishment starts now. Tell me, Tessa, are you wet?”
“I’m soaked.”
“Good, you’ll be dripping by the time we leave. Then we’ll have you ride home with Rance on the Harley. That powerful machine constantly vibrating against your clit will bring you even closer.” Sam smiled at the look on her face as he put that thought into her head.
The next song started and Sam let her go. Tessa had a confused look on her face until she was turned and Mitch took her into his arms. “My turn, darlin’.” “Home” by Blake Shelton started to play as Tessa moved against Mitch, loving the secure feeling he gave her as he wrapped her up in his arms. Mitch started to sing into her ear and she melted against him, listening to his beautiful voice. She could stay in his arms forever and sway to the music as he sang to her. When the song was over Mitch looked into her eyes and said, “When I hold you like this, Tessa Rose, I feel like I’m finally home.” Tessa couldn’t help it as a tear rolled down her face.
“I love you, Mitch.” She kissed him with all the love she had for him. When the kiss ended, she said, “Can we go home now?”
“Nope, not yet.”
“Are you guys ganging up on me?”
“Maybe. But I promise you’ll like the outcome.” They walked back to the table and Tessa downed her soda. Mitch went to get her a refill as “She’s Country” by Jason Aldean started to play.
“Come on, bad girl, your bad boy is ready to dance.” Tessa was surprised as Rance removed his jacket and took her hand, pulling her to the dance floor. Tessa never expected Rance to be such an amazing dancer. Damn, but he could move. She might have finally met her match on the dance floor. Too bad there wasn’t a stripper pole here, and then she could show him up. As he danced up to her, beckoning her closer with his fingertips, she almost had to wipe the drool off her face. He was so damn sexy and all hers. She looked around and realized that nearly everyone had their eyes on them, and when the song ended, she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him senseless while everyone was applauding. They walked off the dance floor to get something to drink and Tessa looked around the room and noticed both Alex and Tim watching her. They were sitting at different tables but too close to her for comfort.
Tessa sat next to Claire and asked, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to neglect you. Are you having a good time?”
“I am. I’ve enjoyed dancing and talking to Lanni and Kayden. We’re going to get together for dinner one night next week, maybe you can join us?”
“I would love that. I’ll check with my guys and let you know.”
“You are one lucky woman, Tessa, but I don’t know how you do it.”
“Do what?”
“Juggle three men, especially those three. That can’t be easy.”
“Actually it’s not as hard as you would think. Having all of them in my life feels normal and natural. I’m spoiled. They take care of me. I’ve never felt so treasured and safe. I feel complete for the first time in my life.”
“So I know this is a personal question but are you always all together?”
“No. I have a relationship with each one of them individually. Each one of them has different interests and it’s important that I have one-on-one time with each of them. Like I said, this is all new and I’ve never done anything like this before but I sure am having fun.”
“They’re totally in love with you. They can’t take their eyes off of you. I hope to have that some day.”
“You’re young and beautiful. It will happen. I didn’t think I would ever find my one and I ended up finding three.”
“I hope you’re right. I’ll be thirty in a couple months and my clock is ticking, as my mother reminds me often, and grandma is forever trying to set me up with old students of hers.”
“I would never have guessed you were older than me. You’re beautiful, Claire, don’t give up.”
Just as they were finishing their conversation, Lanni’s brother Rayne strolled up to the table. “Hey, little sister, ladies, how’s everyone doing tonight? Tessa, is that you?”
Tessa stood and gave Rayne a hug. “Yep, I’ve been wondering when I was going to see you.”
“You look amazing,” he told her as he eyed her up and down.
“And she’s taken, Hollister,” Mitch told him.
“Really, you’re Mitch’s girl?”
“Yep, Rance and Sam’s, too,” Tessa told him smiling then gave her men a look to show them how proud she was to be able to say she belonged to them.
“I’ve only been gone a couple weeks at a conference and look what I missed out on.”
“Oh, Rayne, you’re too much like a brother to me anyhow. You still chasing eight?”
“Yep, only on
the weekends though, thinking about hanging up my bull rope though. The clinic has been so busy that by the time the weekend rolls around I’m tired, plus I’m getting older. I think it’s time for me to think about settling down and having a family. Who’s this pretty lady sitting next to you, Tessa?”
“I’m sorry, Rayne, this is Claire Rogers. Claire, this sweet-talking cowboy is Rayne Hollister, Lanni’s brother.”
Rayne moved closer and extended his hand. “It’s nice to meet you. You must be new in town. I would have remembered a beauty like you.”
“I’ve been here for about a year and I’m not a buckle bunny that’s going to fall for those smooth lines flowing freely from your mouth either, handsome,” she told him, but smiled.
Lanni laughed saying, “I like her!” No one ever turned down her brother or attempted to put him in his place. “Oh, Rayne, you might have finally met your match. I can hardly wait to tell Annie tomorrow,” Lanni said and they all laughed.
“I’m not that bad, Lanni, give a guy a break,” he said but smiled at Claire.
“Don’t worry, cowboy, I’ll form my own opinion. You know how to dance?”
“You better believe it, sweetheart, and I would love to have a dance with you.” Claire stood and took his offered hand as she followed him to the dance floor.
“They would make a cute couple. I’d love for him to settle down and quit this weekend rodeo crap. I’m always scared he’s going to hurt that ugly mug of his every time he climbs on the back of one of those God-awful bulls,” Lanni said.
“Ain’t nothing ugly about your brother, Lanni. He’s hot as hell,” Kayden told her.
