“Fuck, I hope so because I can barely think of anything else. Sliding as deep into her silky heat as I can get trumps everything else. I want to take you back to Texas and make love to you under a starlit sky, Cariña. Seeing your bare skin bathed in moonlight as shooting stars pass overhead will quickly become one of my greatest pleasures, I promise you. I want to introduce you to my family, so they can get to know the woman I’ve fallen in love with.” This time Juan was happy to see those mesmerizing violet eyes swimming in unshed tears because he knew these were tears of happiness.
Juan’s family would love Lakyn. Her soft heart, giving spirit, sense of humor, and work ethic would all be points in her favor—but ultimately, it would be the joy she’d brought into his life that would endear her to the loud and loving Riveras.
Trac would also introduce Lakyn to his family, but they would like her for entirely selfish reasons. Her fame rather than the woman herself would be the only thing they’d see. Juan had always been amazed that a family with so much had never seen how little it meant without love.
Chapter Twenty-Two
Trac wasn’t proud of the fact he’d felt nothing but relief when he’d learned the plane carrying Reggie Parks had gone down. He wasn’t going to pretend to feel grief for a man who didn’t have a fucking clue what it meant to be loyal.
There hadn’t been any reason to add to Lakyn’s emotional burden tonight, so they planned to tell her about Parks tomorrow—tonight was about giving her a chance to process the contents of the letter he’d left her. None of them believed the letter had really been for her. Reggie Parks’ infatuation with Cooper Hicks had been the driving force behind every move her manager had made for years. Bragging to anyone who would listen about their greatly exaggerated friendship had ultimately painted him in a corner and led to his downfall.
Every covert operative in the world knew their family and friends were potential targets—hell, that was the reason they protected their family’s anonymity at all costs and most operatives had few if any friends outside professional circles.
Trac and Juan would help dry her tears, but he wasn’t sure how many she would shed for a man whose friendship had been a sham from the very beginning. Turning his attention back to the woman in question, he pressed his lips against hers in what he’d intended as a quick kiss, but when she threaded her fingers in his hair giving it a quick tug, fire exploded in his groin.
Her hot tongue slid along the seam of Trac’s lips, and he opened with a growl before wresting the control back from the little hellion, twisting his head to gain deeper access to the sensitive recesses of her mouth. Seducing Lakyn when they had to stifle her responses was the sweetest torture in the world. The crinkle of a condom wrapper was his signal to move. In seconds he was painting her lips with the tip of his weeping cock. Seeing the pre-cum glistening on her kiss-swollen kips was hotter than hell.
“I’m going to fuck you until you are too exhausted to stare out into the dark, worrying about things you cannot control and are not responsible for, Cariña.” Juan’s voice was rough with obvious arousal, and for the first time he could remember, Trac wished his and Juan’s positions were reversed. Watching his friend slide his arms under Lakyn’s legs, lifting them until her knees were draped over his elbows, opening her pussy to their view made his cock jerk in response. He’d never balked at the term fuck, but Lakyn brought a tenderness out in him he hadn’t known existed. Making love to her under the Texas sky would be everything Juan mentioned and more.

Lakyn relished the sensations humming through her sex. Juan swirled the tip of his cock through the soaking wet folds of her pussy, giving her a wickedly sexy smile. She loved Juan’s playful nature and his innate sensuality, just as she loved Trac’s dominance and strength. Knowing both men wanted her was empowering.
Since meeting them, Lakyn had been continually surprised how rarely they mentioned her physical appearance. For as long as she could remember, Cooper was the only one who saw her as more than a pretty face, even her parents had seen her as little more than a money-making entity. She’d loved them, but once her face had started earning money, she’d stopped being their little girl and become their meal ticket.
She’d overheard Juan and Trac’s earlier conversation with Cooper and Kent about Reggie and understood why they planned to wait to tell her that her former manager was presumed dead. What they didn’t know was she didn’t care one way or another, at this point. Learning he’d only dealt with her to get closer to her brother hadn’t come as a huge surprise, but it had burned the last remnants of the bridge of friendship and mutual respect between them. She wouldn’t wish harm on anyone, but in her mind, he’d already been dead, so knowing it was a reality wasn’t a big change.
“Cariña, it’s a bit disheartening to know your mind is wandering when I am a split second from pushing my aching cock balls deep into your heat.” Juan’s growled words brought her back to the moment, and she felt her face heat in embarrassment.
“I swear I’d flip her over and paddle her ass, but she’d enjoy it too much.” For once it was Trac who sounded amused, but when she reached a hand for him, he shook his head. “No, Princess, if you wrap your soft fingers around my cock, this will be over far too soon.” Tapping the underside of her jaw, he grinned. “Open up and let me have that beautiful mouth. Let’s see if we can’t get you to focus, what do you say?”
The instant her hot mouth closed around Trac’s cock, Juan flexed his hips, pushing himself between the swollen folds of her slick pussy. Juan’s groaned at the burning heat gripping him. Arcs of electricity traveled up his spine before settling in his balls. Gooseflesh prickled along the surface of his skin, and he sucked in a deep breath trying to hold back the urge to fuck her hard and fast. Juan felt his eyes rolled back and heard Trac’s chuckle just before he groaned. Serves you right for laughing at me, fucker.
“Fucking hell, your mouth is pure heaven, Princess. I can see by the look on your other Master’s face, he thinks the same thing about your hot pussy—absolute perfection and OURS.” Juan slid his cock out of Lakyn’s pussy, enjoying the wet sounds as her body tried to hold him in her heat. The walls of her vagina were already quaking with spasms around him as her body anticipated the pleasure. Trac pulled in a deep breath before he found his voice again.
“Fuck, yeah, baby. That perfect bit of sucking you do with your mouth mimics the way your pussy grips a cock, and it’s almost too much to endure.”
Juan was being swamped by pleasure—blinding ecstasy he swore was beyond anyone’s ability to put into words. The only piece he could single out was the possessive part of his soul that sent up a silent prayer, pledging to never let her go. Lakyn belonged to them, and they belonged to her. The logistics of where to live and how their careers could all work together wouldn’t stand a prayer as an obstacle to the love between them.
All of those details were for another day—this moment was for loving the woman who had blown into their lives and proven the best things in life come to you in those moments when they are least expected.
Epilogue
Six Months Later
Reggie leaned back against the warm wood of the shaded beach chair and looked out over the crystal-clear water. The steady lapping of low waves as the tide moved in lulled him into a relaxed state he could ill afford. It wouldn’t be safe to let his guard down until the last surgery was done. He’d undergone two rounds and was awaiting the third.
He wasn’t allowed time in direct sunlight, but the clinic staff finally relented and let him enjoy a few minutes outside each evening. Reggie knew he wasn’t a particularly cooperative patient, but this small bit of fresh air each day helped and was likely the only reason the staff had been willing to bend their rigid rules.
Walking by mirrors always caused made him do a double-take, a habit the staff warned him he needed to break as it would be a red flag to anyone trained to read body language. The strangeness of seeing another person staring back from a
mirror would likely be an exercise in confusion for a long time. Not recognizing the person staring back at him, Reggie often caught himself staring into reflective surfaces, wondering if he’d ever be able to put into words how strange it was to meet the eyes of someone he knew hadn’t existed six months ago. The doctors keep telling me I’ll eventually get used to it. I’m putting my trust in them and hoping like hell it’s true.
He let his mind wander to Cooper Hicks and wondered what the other man had thought when he learned he’d been dealing with a man working for multiple agencies and not been any the wiser. Reggie was an agent—but not the entertainment agent everyone had believed him to be. One more surgery and he was going after the man who’d seen him as little more than a glorified babysitter.
The next time when they met, things would be different…
The next time, Cooper would be his—one way or another.
