“We are going to have Caribbean food when Jace could get a fat steak not far from here?” Jenna huffed. “Before we leave this restaurant the two of you will tell me what is wrong with the both of you. There will be no blaming it on cabin fever either.”
When the server came to take their orders Jenna ordered a delicious-looking lime and coconut shrimp taco. Then she looked at the drinks. When she inquired if it was too early for some rum the server smiled and shook his head. Jenna ordered a double of whatever he recommended.
Jace excused himself to go to the bathroom. Jenna rolled her eyes.
“I’ll go talk to him, babe,” Tony said. He quickly followed after Jace.
Jenna studied her napkin without much enthusiasm.
“Ms. Talbot?” the server asked. “Are you Ms. Jenna Talbot?”
“Yes?” Jenna asked. “Who wants to know?” Jenna looked around the room. There were a few people seated at the other tables but no one that she recognized.
“There is an envelope for you at the bar.” The gentleman pointed to where a female bartender was just setting a creamy white drink on the counter.
Jenna followed the server to the bar and the bartender slid the drink to her. Jenna took a sip of the coconut-banana concoction and then another. She complimented the drink and then opened the letter. She had no idea who had seen her or why they had left a letter for her at a café that she would probably never frequent again.
Jace Kline and Anthony Hanson request your presence at sunrise on December 24th where they would like to join with you in unconventional matrimony on a beach in St. Lucia.
Jenna looked at the expensive card with the red and blue foil writing. She read it again. A Christmas Eve wedding, in the morning, on a beach in the Caribbean was more than she had ever fantasized about. She cursed herself for being such a drama queen earlier about not having coffee.
“Oh my.” Jenna breathed and she brought a hand to her mouth as tears formed in her eyes. She held the invitation with a shaky hand and finally placed it on the bar.
Jenna looked behind her at the still-empty table and then Tony waved at her from behind her chair.
Jace and Tony were both on one knee and they were both holding open little boxes that held very expensive rings inside of them.
“Jenna Talbot.” Jace spoke first.
“Will you marry us?” Tony asked.
Jenna stood before both of them. Jace was on her left and Tony was on her right.
“I will.” Jenna nodded her head as tears flowed freely down her cheeks. “I will marry both of you.”
Tony motioned for her hand and she held it out as he slipped the ring on her right hand. Jace did the same with her left. The men got off of their knees and together they kissed Jenna on her cheeks.
Jenna looked down at the rings and then up at her men. She noticed that the patrons at the tables were all smiling and looking their way. Jenna knew that she would never see them again and it appeared that no one in the room was offended that she had just agreed to marry both of the men.
“I’m getting married!” Jenna yelled to everyone in the room and she wrapped her arms around both of her men as they led her to their table. The patrons clapped and a couple of them even whistled.
“I’m getting married,” Jenna said to the server when he brought her the drink and envelope. He nodded and then laughed.
“You guys are getting married, too,” Jenna said. She held her hand to her chest. Her heart was threatening to pound its way out of her chest again, but this time in a good way.
“St. Lucia,” Jace said and he handed Jenna the itinerary for the vacation.
“Fourteen days of nothing but fun in the sun,” Tony said.
“Fourteen days?” Jenna said thinking of the farm and frowning. That was a really long time to be away from their chores and the home, especially with the winter that they were having.
“Miles is staying in the house while we are gone,” Jace said. “The farm is paying him. He got a notice that a lien was taken out against his land for the taxes. He needs the money, the help, and the dignity.”
“Well then let’s get this party started,” Jenna said as she held up her coconut drink and took a sip. The bling on the rings was still startling. She set her drink down and studied the jewelry on her fingers.
Tony had given her a ring with all the spice. It had a marquise-cut diamond in the middle, then three baguette cuts on either side, followed by four small round cuts following the baguettes. It was all inset into a white-gold setting. Jace had given her an extraordinarily large and beautiful princess-cut solitaire in a yellow gold band. Jace was always the man of tradition and Tony always the one with spice. She loved them both so much for who they were and what they meant to her.
“No crying until the wedding,” Tony said to Jenna, and then he pointed a thumb at Jace.
Jace was blinking his eyes rapidly. He coughed and looked away.
“Sorry,” Jace said as he brushed his blond locks away from his face and sighed heavily. “I just never saw it happening. I didn’t think it could happen. I never thought that we’d find you.”
“Don’t get too excited, dude,” Tony said lightly. “She could still say no and leave us standing on the beach alone. Then we’d have to marry each other to save face.”
“I’m okay,” Jace said as he started eating the mango fish appetizers that Jenna had ordered. His face scrunched up and he managed to swallow.
“Yeah.” Tony laughed. “You’re fine.”
When they finished the meal Jenna asked if she could meet them somewhere and do some shopping on her own. The men agreed and Jenna went to Helzberg Diamonds first. She wanted to do her men justice and buy them each their own bands. She wanted rings that would go with their own personalities and her own engagement rings. Then she hit one of the stores that had prom dresses and formal wear. She knew she wasn’t going to find a wedding dress that she wanted but she wanted to get an idea.
Once they were boarded in first class on the plane, Tony turned to Jenna.
“You sure haven’t said much,” Tony said.
“I keep staring at my rings,” Jenna said as she moved her hands slightly on her legs and watched the sparkles shine off of each ring. Jenna sighed because there was no reason to lie to her men. “We have a night in Miami and then we fly out tomorrow for St. Lucia, right?”
Jace had turned to face her as well. He was frowning and crossed his hands over his chest. Jenna knew that if he could stand he would be resting his weight on one leg. The thought made her smile.
“It’s nothing too serious,” Jenna said. “I didn’t know that we were leaving for more than a drive to town. Both of your birthday gifts are at the farm and with us arriving the day of Tony’s birthday it just seems like I won’t find another gift that even compares to the one at home. So what are we going to do about celebrating birthdays and Christmas?”
“Jenna,” Jace said seriously. “You are our gift. There will be plenty of time for us to celebrate once we get back.”
“If we can make it back,” Tony said. “Rock said there was another system off of the coast and would be rolling through the area at the end of this week. He said we’d be lucky if Kira could keep our road plowed to the highway.”
“She’ll try, though.” Jenna smiled as she thought of her friend. “She’ll probably use explosives if she hits a particularly stubborn snow drift.”
Tony smiled and laughed. “You are probably right. No worries then. We celebrate once we are home and snowed in without electricity or good coffee.”
Jenna smiled at Tony and then at Jace. The thought of no good coffee couldn’t derail her happiness. She would gladly give up coffee to spend the rest of her life with these two men.

When the limo pulled into the resort Jenna had rolled down and leaned out the window, despite that Jace was between her and the window. She smelled the air and started giggling.
“She’s going to kill me,” Ton
y said to Jace as he pointed at Jenna’s ass. He gave it a firm smack that made her shriek and made his balls ache. He groaned. “That was stupid.” Then he tried to adjust his pants before they pulled to the main area to check in.
Tony watched as Jace firmly picked Jenna up and swung her over his legs once the driver opened the door. Jace was in his element and doing what he loved most with Jenna. What Jace loved most was watching her experience something new for the first time.
Tony knew that at this resort there was no tipping of any kind at all. The exception to the rule was a tip to the butler if the room that was rented included butler service, and of course Tony and Jace had spared no expense when it came to marrying the woman of their dreams.
They had a private check-in and a personal attendant to give them a tour of the property while their bags were taken to their rooms. Tony couldn’t hold back his chuckle when Jenna started asking the attendant questions about the property and the dos and don’ts.
“Get used to it, sir,” Tony told the young man as Jenna asked yet another question. “That’s why it took two of us to finally tame her. She is the most curious of any human being I have ever met.”
“I am pleased that my knowledge is appreciated by such a beautiful woman,” the man said in smooth voice and thick accent. “Especially one so full of life.”
“He’s good,” Tony whispered to Jace when the man turned his attention back to Jenna.
“Does she bring out the best in people?” Jace asked. “Or is her attitude contagious?”
“She’s a damn virus that I can’t get rid of and can’t wait to infect myself with again,” Tony admitted.
They had stopped in front of a large cottage. There was an infinity pool that looked out over the beach and into the ocean. There was a spectacular view of the mountains and Tony had thoughts of him and Jace taking Jenna in the pool as a storm came in.
A large two-person tub, which would probably accommodate Jace perfectly, was outside on a patio near a waterfall and lush green gardens. The patio also held a beautiful table and Tony nodded his head in appreciation when he saw the table, normally seating four, only had place settings and chairs for three.
Jenna was shrieking and jumping up and down in the bedroom, which opened to the patio, bathtub, and infinity pool. The king-sized bed was covered with a deep orange comforter and it matched the dark wood and white tile without looking gaudy.
“I love it,” Jenna cried.
Tony watched Jenna run her hands through her hair as she followed the attendant through the bedroom and into another room of the cottage that opened to more lush gardens and flowering plants. A stream trickled past the area that contained a sofa, loveseat, and another dining table set for three. There was also a fully stocked mini bar and fully functional kitchen.
Finally on the lower level there was a large television that had satellite, or could be set to a channel that watched the huge salt-water aquarium in one of the restaurants. It could be covered completely with a shade and Tony wasn’t surprised when Jenna pulled the shade. Three robes of white and three pairs of slippers were in the gray and white bathroom located in the middle of the cottage.
Tony managed to swat Jenna’s ass as they went upstairs for the final part of the tour. Three lounge chairs and a hot tub sat under a covered area. Three more hammocks were set around the area and there was a gas fire that could also be lit. Finally, another fully stocked minibar with three stools was tucked behind some large potted plants.
The attendant directed them downstairs and advised them on how to fill out their breakfast cards for the next day. Tony noticed Jenna glance at the bedroom and the proximity it was to the patio table and how nothing separated the two of them. The attendant noticed it as well and he looked around the wall to where the living room met the patio.
“My apologies,” the attendant said. “This table is supposed to be on the other side of the wall in the living quarters. Our butlers are very discreet and have no intention of denying you privacy. This table will be moved immediately and do not feel that you must separate yourself from this beautiful land.”
Jenna nodded her head as the attendant started to punch something on his phone.
“It’s so beautiful,” Jenna said.
Tony smiled back at her when she looked first at him and then at Jace. This was the best moment of his life and he had no intention of wasting it.
“What does our fiancée want to do first?” Tony asked as the attendant politely made his exit.
Jenna giggled as she took two steps back and into the bedroom. “It’s entirely too hot with all my clothes on.” She smiled and pulled her top over her head. “I think I should show my fiancés how much I appreciate everything that they have done.”
Tony heard Jace groan in appreciation but there was no way that Jace was going to beat him to Jenna. Tony tackled her to the bed with the most forceful and passionate kiss that he had ever given a woman.
* * * *
Jace didn’t bother putting on clothes. He stood at the wall where the patio connected to the bedroom and felt the breeze on his nuts as he looked out at the ocean. The view was great. He turned back to where Tony was cleaning off Jenna and making sure that she wasn’t seriously injured. That view was even better.
Their lovemaking had always been spectacular, but after the engagement at the café it seemed to take on something else. Something more passionate, desperate, and needy. Almost as if they were clinging to each other for life and their next breath. In a way he supposed that they were.
Jace folded his arms over his chest and noticed that the patio table had indeed been moved. He hadn’t noticed anyone come or go but then again he had been a little preoccupied with eating Jenna’s pretty pussy while Tony assaulted her breasts. The way she gave herself to both of them was a dream come true.
“I see our clothes were delivered,” Jenna said.
Jace looked at down at where her dainty hand rested against his bicep. The way she giggled and covered her mouth with her other hand told him that she was only slightly embarrassed that someone may have caught the three of them in the throes of passion.
“I feel like this is a dream,” Jenna said to Jace. “Yesterday morning I was wondering if I should flip off my friend and closest neighbor because she was cheerful as she plowed us out of the snow.”
Jace opened his mouth to tell her everything that he was feeling, but nothing came out. “I know,” he managed to say and he ran his hands through his hair.
Jace watched Tony shake his head and roll his eyes.
“What the big oaf is trying to tell you,” Tony said, “is that we feel like this is kind of a dream, too. I mean, we always dreamt that it would happen. I could tell you stories about how we would fall asleep talking to each other across the room and telling each other how it would all play out but none of the fantasies were actually like this one. We like this one the best and, yes, we feel like this is a dream as well.”
Jace picked up the bags and brought them inside. There was so much more that he wanted to say to Jenna. He wanted reassurance that her dream had been fulfilled, he wanted to know that she felt protected, but most of all he wanted to know…
“I love you, Jace,” Jenna said.
Jace watched as Jenna’s arms wrapped around his waist and he felt her press her warm, naked front side against his equally naked back side. He gripped her little hands in his and held on as he sighed.
“I love you, Jenna,” Jace said. “You have no idea how much I needed to hear that.”
“Of course I did,” Jenna said as she snuggled against his back. “Thank you so much. You have no idea how this trumps my wildest dreams. You and Tony are the world to me. I can’t have one without the other and the fact that this is the dream for both of you makes me feel so much better in just experiencing the happiness that the three of us have. I will love you, forever.”
Jace nodded his head and rubbed his hand across Jenna’s entwined fingers.

�I want to talk to you about the pills,” Jace said softly, but he still felt Jenna stiffen. “I want you to take them while we are here. I know that you do too so you won’t have to worry about drinking and having the time of your life, but, Jenna, I do want a family.”
“I do, too,” Jenna admitted. “I really do.”
Jace looked at where Tony was standing against the wall that led to the living room. Tony nodded his head and so Jace continued with the line of conversation.
“Is something stopping you?” Jace asked.
“No,” Jenna said and then she softened. “My mom will hate me more. She will hate both of you and probably hate the family we create.”
“She hates us now.” Jace chuckled. “Especially me. But your dad will be understanding, compassionate, and give us the go-ahead to do whatever makes us happy, and you know that. Your father wants you to be happy.”
“My dad,” Jenna said. “Oh my God, my dad! I have to call him and tell him that we are getting married. He will be so excited.”
“He will be,” Jace said as he released Jenna’s arms.
“He will be,” Jenna repeated. “You know what, Jace? You are right. I have wanted a family, too. When we get back home there is no more pill and we are on the luck of fate for an addition to our family.”
“Thank you, sweet Jenna,” Jace said. He turned around and pulled her to him. Jace glanced at Tony and Tony gave him a thumbs-up sign before he crossed the floor and commented on their serious need to hit a store for some more appropriate clothes.
“There are so many evening events that require more formal attire,” Tony said as he threw one of the pamphlets on the bed. “There are also other contests and gatherings that I really don’t want to miss, so as soon as we get dressed we need to head to one of the shops and find some beautiful evening gowns for you, Jenna.”
“What about you two?” Jenna asked.
Jace watched her mesmerizing golden-brown eyes turn to him, as did her concern. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.
