He glanced over at Rogue, found him engrossed in the breathtaking view. Wrapping his arms around Rogue, Ryan meshed their mouths, his tongue delving deep for another taste of the only man Ryan ever wanted.
Just as Rogue took the upper hand, aggressively seizing control, Ryan leaned back with a wicked smile. "Our lady awaits."
"Tease." Rogue slapped Ryan's rear.
"Always." Gesturing toward the bed, Ryan waited for Rogue to get settled at the head of the bed, using pillows to support him comfortably in a sitting position. Tempest approached him eagerly, her long brunette locks brushing over the sheets and Rogue's cock as she shifted closer.
As both men watched, she lowered her upper body enough to lick the droplet from Rogue's tip.
Rogue groaned, fisted his hands in her hair, and jerked under her attentions. "More, baby. Use that tongue on me."
She glanced up before resuming her activity, this time opening wide, taking the head into her mouth, her cheeks hollowing as she provided suction.
Rogue's head arched back, his eyes closing, as he took one of her breasts in hand. The expression on his face: sheer sensual pleasure.
A throbbing in his stiff cock prompted Ryan into motion. Digging through his jeans, he found a condom in his wallet. Dropping the clothing, he used his teeth to tear open the foil, quickly sheathing himself. In high anticipation, he crawled on the bed, not stopping until he positioned himself behind Tempest. He rubbed both hands up and down her back before caressing lower with his right, over her rounded rear and between her thighs. Spreading her folds with his fingers, he sank two fingers into her slick well, lazily pumping his digits in and out, teasing her, checking her readiness. From the feel of her, her engine revved high and hot for this experience.
His patience at an end, Ryan lined up his condom-clad cock, and shoved, not stopping until he hit bottom. Heat and snugness welcomed him home, her tight walls clinging as if afraid he would change his mind and leave. Fiery desire took his breath as he set his back teeth in an effort to rein in his runaway control.
Tempest mewled. Rogue cursed. Ryan began to thrust, setting a slow pace, determined to draw out her pleasure and watch her topple from the pinnacle before he reached his own climax.
Together they rocked. He pressed into Tempest, she met his stroke while swirling her tongue over Rogue's erection before taking him deep inside her mouth. Ryan retreated until just the tip remained inside, then plowed in again, punching harder, rubbing over the tender walls of her core, needing to push her to the edge.
"Shit, this is good." Rogue gritted out between clenched teeth. He finger-combed Tempest's hair to the side and held it there, clearing his view. "Right there. Like that." He placed his free hand on the back of her head, gently guiding her motions. "Just. Like. That."
Rogue's face morphed and grimaced, a signal of his impending release.
Without slowing his pace, Ryan reached around Tempest's hips, seeking her juicy folds, sliding through until he found his goal: her clit. Using her body's natural lubricant, he brushed his fingers over the sensitive nubbin, felt her lurch back against him, and heard her low groan.
"That's it, Tempest. You're almost there." He worked the area, pressing lightly and feathering his fingers back and forth.
"Oh, fuck." Rogue's head fell back, his mouth wide open, eyes tightly closed. His transforming facial expressions told Ryan he reached Nirvana under Tempest's skilled tongue.
"Come for me, sweetheart." He delicately bracketed her nubbin and plucked. "I need to feel you come." He glimpsed Rogue's avid interest, his rapidly rising and falling chest. "Let us watch."
She slammed back against him, their bodies slapping loudly with each coming together. "Ryan… I…"
He released all control, wrapped an arm around her middle, and ground against her. After a brisk rub, he pinched her clit again. "Now, baby. Come for us."
Strong contractions massaged his buried cock, clamping tight. The milking action sparked his climax as tingles turned into all out rapture. Leaning over, he roared, his forehead pillowed on her back. Together, they rode the tides of sexual bliss.
Silence reigned, only broken by the sounds of harsh breathing as all of them attempted to catch their breaths.
Ryan moved first, easing out of Tempest's depths, his hand stabilizing the condom. Once out, he shucked the condom, tied the end, and tossed it in a nearby trashcan.
Tempest sat back on her heels, watching Rogue with an impish grin on her face. "You're messy."
He grunted.
Ryan chuckled, walked into the bathroom, grabbed a towel from under the cabinet, and returned. "Here." Tossing the item to Rogue, he stood by the bedside, enjoying the post-coitus antics. A bit relieved they chose an easy path for this first adventure, Ryan could relax and enjoy the byplay. They would cross other bridges later, when they were ready.
"Thanks." Rogue wiped at his stomach. Finishing the task, his gaze found Tempest then Ryan. "What?" He arched an eyebrow.
Ryan's lips twitched. "Just enjoying the view."
Tempest nodded, sitting flat on her bottom on the bed, curling her legs around. She winked at Ryan. "Gorgeous men all around. How did I get so lucky?"
"Maybe you wished upon the right star?" Ryan moved back to the edge of the bed, sitting down where he could watch both of his lovers, soaking in the glorious scene before him.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined the three of them sitting naked on the bed after an appetizer round of sex. Yet, he didn't want to be anywhere else. They fulfilled him and completed him like all sides of a triangle coming together as one.
And, this was just the beginning.
Epilogue
Ryan watched Tempest grab a cup of lemonade from the fold-out table as Rogue plucked a bottle of beer from a nearby cooler of ice. Both smiled warmly as they chatted with Lark.
Rogue's black hair stood out amongst all the blond-headed people in attendance. Tempest's long brunette locks did the same. Each stood out for their genetics, but Ryan saw more. Their inner beauty, strength, character, and loving devotion.
Both together. With him. His lovers.
Never would he have imagined such a twist in his life, but not once did he complain. Happiness filled his days, passion filled his nights. Love stayed with him always.
He'd dreaded this day for the past week, ever since his mother called and demanded his attendance. It wasn't her he worried about. Instead, his father's reaction concerned him enough to eat at his gut and send him tossing and turning at night. A retired general, his father lived a lifetime with the Army's stiff regulations against homosexual activities. They never once broached the subject of how he really felt about the rules.
Until today.
Today, he would look his father in the eye after spilling the beans the evening before on the phone to his mother, who then passed the receiver over to his father. They took the declaration in stride, encouraging him to bring not only Tempest, but Rogue along as well. Come to find out, Lark mentioned his threesome relationship a few days prior to their parents. She said they blinked a few times, but didn't say much. Maybe by her doing so, they would have had ample opportunity to come to grips with his reality.
He would find out soon enough and crossed his fingers everything would run smoothly. His father was his mentor growing up, the man he wanted to please above all others. Yet, if they couldn't accept Tempest and Rogue, he would walk away, choosing to ally with his lovers.
"You're brooding." Tempest strode over, Rogue at her side. Both shot him expressions rife with concern.
Ryan released a sigh. "I'm dreading the confrontation with my father."
"I thought he took it in stride?" Rogue sipped his drink.
"He did, on the phone last night. It's in person that I'm concerned about." People could say a lot of things, but most faces didn't lie. His father could show anything from blankness to censure to outright anger. Ryan just wished he knew which to expect.
"From what Lark
said, they accepted it pretty well."
Ryan rubbed a hand over his forehead as a movement caught his attention.
Jake, his father, walked up to the small group, his eyes locking on the dark-haired male member. "I hear I have you to thank for saving my daughter's life and Ryan's, too."
Rogue shrugged. "All in the line of duty."
"The hell it is. I owe you a debt I can't repay." The gruff voice lowered with a hint of emotion, broadcasting his love for his children.
"No worries."
With an abrupt nod, he turned his attention to Tempest. "And you, I owe a favor. If you hadn't thought to destroy that bunker and the other compound, my son and daughter would have risked their lives to go back in and may not have come out again."
Tempest blushed prettily. "It was nothing."
Rogue snorted.
Ryan shook his head until his father's gaze landed on him.
"You have my blessing."
He sucked in a breath, cautiously hopeful. "I didn't think you'd understand."
"I don't. But, I don't understand how a fax machine works either. All I know is you're happy and the machine spits out papers with words on it. All falls under the heading of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'." With that said, he spontaneously gave Ryan a quick hug, before heading back into the huddle near the grill.
Ryan's mother wandered over, her gaze fixed on Tempest. "You wouldn't happen to be working on producing children, are you, dear?"
Tempest blinked. "Umm. No. Not for a long time yet."
"Well, shoot."
Ryan grinned evilly. "I heard Lark say the other day she and Bryce are trying to get pregnant."
His mother's mouth fell open as her face brightened in joy. Without another word she made a beeline for Lark. "Lark? Lark?"
Lark spun around, saw her mother, and glared at Ryan.
He snickered.
"Lark? What's this I hear about you trying to get pregnant? Oh, that's such a relief and blessing. I can't wait. In fact, we should start planning the nursery…"
Lark turned around and flipped Ryan off behind her back.
Rogue sidled over with a wide smile on his face. "You're evil." He sipped his beer. "Be careful. That little warrior will kick your ass."
Ryan shot him a grin. "Probably."
"Glutton for punishment, I swear." Rogue shook his head.
"Yep. That's why I'm with you."
"Smart ass."
"You wouldn't want me any other way."
"Hey, what about me?" Tempest stood with a hand on her hips, a frown covering her face.
Rogue pulled her between them, giving her a squeeze. "You're the meat in our sandwich."
"Ohh…" She slapped his arm lightly.
"But you love us." Ryan nuzzled her cheek.
"True. Even though you're both barbarians, I love you."
"That makes two of us."
"Three of us." Ryan grinned at his lovers, happier than he ever recalled being. Fate might have set a few obstacles and surprises in his life, but in the end, everything fell into place.
A perfect trifecta.
The End
About the Author
Growing up in the Midwest, I began reading romance novels in high school, immediately falling in love with the genre, to the point where I decided to write professionally for a career. However, that dream splattered against a brick wall and resulting quick death in my first writing class in college when my professor told me bluntly that I wasn't any good at it. I shifted gears quickly, and left my writing dreams behind, eventually settling on being a nurse.
A few years back, I stumbled across a fan-fiction writing site on a favorite author's webpage. I began to read stories others wrote, not only making some wonderful close friends from the experience, but also, really learning to write for the very first time. Here I was able to share short stories, practice my writing skills, and truly develop into a writer. More than that, the experience allowed me to revitalize my dream, as I rediscovered joy in writing.
When I'm not working or writing, I enjoy working in the garden, canning, and seeing my backyard as a living canvas for my whimsical landscaping, and, of course, reading romance novels.

5 Stars for As Fate Would Have It
"The unbelievable chemistry of these two characters, is what makes As Fate Would Have It, the sweltering and fantastic read that it is. Rye is a detective that once worked as an actor. He's not just any actor though, he's a retired porn star, with a whole heck of a lot more experience then the virgin that is Brie. Rye will rock your socks off with his sexy sweet talking and his domineering ways. He's got a hidden sensitive side as well, creating a character that will leave you dying for more with every page you read. Brie is a good girl nurse, with nothing but an uppity spirit flowing through her. She also happens to be most hilarious heroine I have read about in a while. She's determined and strong-willed, never wanting to give up on anything in life. I admire her willingness to take risks in order to help people she knows nothing about. She's a grade A character who will make you want to be a better person yourself.
I read As Fate Would Have it in one setting, and it was the most fun I have had, while reading a book, in a very long time. With humor galore throughout, and passionate sexual tension thrown in too, I guarantee that As Fate Would Have It, will become a favorite for many. I know for sure, that it's now one of mine! So if you need a fast paced romance with an abundance of humor, then be sure to pick As Fate Would Have It up! You can't get much better than this!"

I quite enjoyed reading As Fate Would Have It as I fell in love Brie and Rye from the beginning of this story. Having a past relationship as kids and taking a glimpse of their a past childhood encounter just made their relationship even more realistic. The way they still tease and compete with each other as adults was quite funny and made for nice foreplay. I love Brie's conservative nature which is knocked down by Rye's constant push to unearth the sexy and adventurous side of her. Their love scenes are passionate, titillating and romantic… But what really drew me to this story was the mystery and suspense surrounding Brie and Rye. Rye, previously a police officer, gave this story an added depth and excitement to both the story and the characters within this tale. I didn't expect this added jewel within the plot which had me glued to what trouble they both seem to get themselves into. I love the secondary characters which definitely stood out on their own without taking too much attention from Brie and Rye. The nosy neighbors were so charmingly funny and were my favorite secondary characters. As Fate Would Have It was quite enjoyable both for the exciting yet simplistic storyline and the wonderfully charming characters. Fabulous read Ms. Meadows!

This story was cute and quirky. The characters were both very playful and I enjoyed their witty repartee. The plot moved at a nice steady pace allowing for the reader to watch the romance bloom between Brie and Rye. There were some great action scenes where Brie got to help save the day and some tender scenes where Rye showed how a man should care for a woman. The secondary characters such as the Aunts and the nosy neighbor ladies added quite a bit of charm and humor to the pages. It was a fun read with a satisfying
ending.

Tiger's Lily
A woman who can't turn her back on anyone who is hurt and a man who doesn't trust easily find out that love can break through any barrier. Tiger's Lily brings Lily with her gentle heart and ways together with Cale, a man who trusts very rarely and almost never a woman. I loved watching, as Lily seemed to just bedazzle Cale without even trying. I know that Cale never saw her coming until it was too late. I laughed a few times when younger brother Dillon put in his two cents. Right up until the end I wondered if Cale would be able to accept the love that Lily offered, but I should know that you just shouldn't bet against fate. I also loved the sneak peek at the rest of the Wind Warriors and wonder just who will be the next to find their love. Tiger's Lily is a softhearted look at a love and the journey back to family with a ribbon of danger to keep you wondering.
