“Of course they did,” Lorrie said with a grin. “Those boys would walk through fire to make sure they got her present completed.”
Of course they would, but the way Travis had been acting had Zoey wondering. It was just yesterday morning that Travis had called Kaleb, scrambling at the last minute for something, she had no idea what.
“Come on in here, I’m going to have you start on the eggs.”
Zoey followed Lorrie back into the kitchen where the air smelled heavenly. Like sage and nutmeg, turkey and pumpkin. In fact, it smelled so wonderful, her stomach started to growl.
“Are you hungry?”
Zoey laughed. “I’m always hungry these days,” she told her mother-in-law.
“Well, you sit right here, I’ve got biscuits and gravy almost finished. You can eat with Curtis while we wait on the others.”
As though he’d been summoned, Curtis made his way into the room, heading directly toward Lorrie. “Good morning,” he whispered sweetly, kissing her lightly on the cheek.
Zoey watched the couple, utterly in awe of the way they acted with one another. They were always like this. Greeting one another with gentle kisses, adoring looks passing between them, and they were always putting one another first. Based on the stories she’d heard throughout the years, Zoey knew that Lorrie and Curtis hadn’t always had it easy, but the one thing they insisted they always did have was one another. And just like other girls, Zoey had always admired the relationship these two shared.
“Hey, kiddo,” Curtis greeted her, leaning over to kiss her on the cheek and Zoey blushed.
“Good morning, Curtis. You sure are chipper this morning,” Zoey teased.
“It’s the food. I only get turkey and dressing twice a year. It’s kind of like… Oh, never mind.”
Zoey watched the older man blush bright red, and she couldn’t help but laugh. Was he seriously about to say what she thought he was? Curtis Walker? He was one of the most respectful men she’d ever met, but she knew he had a naughty side. Seriously though. How could he not? After all, Zoey had met all of his children.
Lorrie chuckled from behind them, and Zoey turned to see her turning quite pink herself. “So, you’re saying that since you abstain from having turkey, it makes you want it even more?”
Zoey’s mouth fell open, her laugh erupting from her chest as she turned back to see Curtis doing the same.
“Woman, be careful this morning. It’s not nice to tease a hungry man.”
Zoey laughed again, completely stunned by the innuendos flying out of their mouths. These were her in-laws. Kaleb’s parents.
Thankfully, the back door squeaked open and in walked V, grinning from ear to ear.
“What’s going on in here?” V asked, coming to a stop just inside the door. “Why does it look like you’ve all been caught doing something really, really naughty?”
Another bout of laughter filled the room, and Zoey had to wipe tears from her eyes before she could face V again.
“Where’s Jessie? I thought she was coming with you?” Zoey asked.
“I dropped her off at Brendon’s. She wanted to give him his Christmas present before she came over,” V said with a wink.
Lorrie moved across the room to retrieve V’s coat, her cheeks flushed and her eyes glittering with humor. When V took the seat beside Zoey, she leaned over and said, “What did I miss?”
“Oh, nothing,” Zoey said loudly, glancing over at Curtis. “We were just talking about the repercussions of abstinence.”
V’s eyes widened as she sat up slowly, her eyes moving between Curtis and Lorrie and then back to Zoey. And as though she’d been privy to the conversation, her face turned red as well.
“Let’s eat, shall we?” Curtis asked, having to clear his throat in order to complete the sentence.
Chapter Nineteen

Travis
“Don’t peek.”
“How could I possibly peek? Both of your hands cover my whole face.”
“Be quiet too.”
Travis grinned when Kylie batted her hands behind her in an attempt to hit him. He directed her forward, his body at her back, his hands covering her eyes – or, more accurately, her entire face as she mentioned.
“Watch your step,” Gage called from a few feet in front of them. “And don’t let her peek.”
“Will y’all stop?” Kylie laughed. “I can’t see anything at all.”
“Mmmm, I like you blindfolded,” Travis murmured against her ear as he continued to guide her through the front door.
Stopping, he kept his hands over her eyes as Gage moved forward to sandwich her between them. Travis met Gage’s eyes and smiled. They had done it. They had managed to pull it off although there for a minute, he didn’t think they would be able to.
“Where are we?” Kylie asked, her hands coming to rest on his across her eyes. Her soft, cool fingers curved lightly around his, but she wasn’t trying to move them away.
“Merry Christmas, baby,” Travis said against her ear.
“Merry Christmas,” Gage whispered, leaning down to kiss her as Travis pulled his hands away.
Taking one step back, he kept his eyes on her as she looked up at Gage and then around the room.
“Oh, my…” Kylie inhaled on a gasp. “Is this…?”
“It is,” Travis confirmed before she could even ask. “Officially your new office.”
When Kylie had moved in, Travis had had no idea how much stuff she had stuffed in her garage. Things she used all the time for her renovation business. And now, all of those things were in a storage unit because they hadn’t been able to get another garage built to replace the dilapidated one that Kylie had torn down during the renovation on Gage’s house.
So this seemed to make sense.
“You did this for me?” she asked, turning in a circle.
Travis smiled down at her as she stood just a few feet away, one hand on her heart, the other hovering over her lips. He could see the tears in her eyes, and his heart cracked.
“Do you like it?” Gage asked.
“I… Oh my God, I love it. It’s amazing. I have my own office.” Kylie’s enthusiasm escaped on a sob as she moved across the room.
She slid one hand over the small reception desk that they’d placed in the front office area. Travis had no idea whether she’d need an assistant right away, but as word got out on what she’d done to Gage’s farmhouse, she was getting more and more calls, which meant she was only going to need more help as she grew her small renovation company.
“Come here,” Gage said, taking her hand in his. “Let me show you the rest of the place.”
Travis followed them down the hall. On the left side was a small break room with a table, microwave, even a vending machine they had managed to get for cheap. They’d hung a flat panel television on the wall and even added a small sofa where she could sit and relax if she needed to.
The next room was the oversized restroom. Taking a few tips from V, Travis had bought items to make the room girly. Not quite his taste, but with V’s help, it looked like a fancy chick bathroom. If Kylie’s grin was anything to go by, he’d impressed her.
A little farther down the hall and on the opposite side was an office. There was actually only one office space, however, if necessary, Travis knew they could expand into the storage room at the back. But for now, this was all he figured Kylie would need.
“Oh, wow.” Kylie’s eyes lit up, and she turned to glance at both of them before turning back to take it all in. “This is… Wow.”
Ok, so yes, they had put a little time and effort into her office. Neither of them had skimped on any part of the décor, which was why they had hired Sierra McCoy - Ackerley to assist. And, true to form, the woman had worked miracles. The small space had been beige and boring when they purchased it, but not anymore. Every room had its own individuality, the furnishings were elegant, the decorations professional and suitable to Kylie’s personality.
“I love thi
s,” she told them as she turned back around. “This is…” A tear slid down Kylie’s pale cheek, and Travis moved forward at the same time Gage did. They both enveloped her in their arms, holding her safely between them.
“This is more than I deserve,” she whispered.
“See, that’s where you’re wrong. You deserve everything,” Travis told her, his heart expanding to twice its size. He loved this woman and this man. More than he ever had anticipated and being able to put a smile on their faces was what made all of it worthwhile.
“You work so hard, and you don’t ask for anything. Somehow you manage to work around the two of us, so we figured you deserved a space of your own,” Gage explained, his hand smoothing Kylie’s hair as he met Travis’ gaze above her head.
“You haven’t seen the best part yet,” Travis said, taking her hand and leading her back into the hall.
“Well, I’m not sure about that. I’m quite fond of that couch in the break room. I think I might just have to test it out.”
Travis’ cock stirred. Kylie was teasing him, he knew.
Opening the door at the very end of the hallway, Travis stepped back and allowed Kylie to walk inside first.
“Holy…”
Again, she was obviously speechless which made Travis grin from ear to ear. “What do you think?”
At the far end of the storage room, there was a huge bay door that opened into the alley. This would allow Kylie to receive material that she needed at the office, and it also offered her a large space to keep all of the things she was collecting. Travis had even moved some of those items himself, like the vintage chandelier and the two boxes that contained the original light fixtures that Kylie had acquired from a 1960s Victorian mansion.
Travis glanced beside him at Gage and then took his hand, linking their fingers together as they watched her. This was their gift to her, something they’d been working to make happen for a couple of months and thanks to life getting in the way, they had barely pulled it off at the last minute. But the look on Kylie’s face right at that moment had been worth every worry and every moment of panic that they wouldn’t have it ready in time.
Kylie spun around quickly and faced them, her hands landing on her hips. Her expression went to one of wonder to one of suspicion and Travis swallowed hard, waiting to hear what she would say.
“You did this for me?” she asked again.
Travis looked at Gage, then back to Kylie. “Yes.”
“Well, this isn’t fair.”
“What do you mean it isn’t fair?” Gage asked, his hand sliding out of Travis’ as he moved closer to Kylie.
“Just like I said.”
“I’m not sure I understand,” Gage stated firmly as he moved even closer to Kylie. Travis didn’t move from where he stood, he was too stunned to speak, much less move. Did she not like her gift? Was she angry?
“I will never in a million years be able to get either of you something this nice,” Kylie told him adamantly.
Travis breathed a sigh of relief, his feet finally getting with the program as he moved forward, pulling Kylie against him while Gage stepped in behind her. “Baby, that’s where you’re wrong again. You’ve already given us the most precious gift of all.” Travis leaned down and pressed his lips lightly against hers. “You.”
There was a small tear that slid down Kylie’s cheek and Travis immediately wiped it away with his thumb, tipping Kylie’s head back at the same time. “However, if you’re looking to give us something for Christmas, I can sure think of one thing I wouldn’t refuse.”
♂♀♂
Kylie
That saying about your heart being filled to overflowing… Well, Kylie knew what it felt like. Then again, her heart had already overflowed with love for these two men, but it seemed that every time she turned around, they were doing something that made her wonder if she would ever know the true extent of her love for them.
The new office was beautiful. A place she would enjoy coming to every day, but it was the gesture that made her heart take a tumble in her chest.
“I love you,” she told them both as she looked up at them. “I love you more than you’ll ever know.”
“Oh, darlin’, we know,” Travis assured her.
Kylie wasn’t convinced.
“Come here,” she said, taking one of their hands in each of hers and pulling them out of the storage room and back down the hall. As they passed her new office, she peeked inside, giddy with excitement. It truly was the most wonderful gift she could’ve ever received.
Rather than stopping to admire what she could see later, she led Travis and Gage to the break room.
“Did you lock the front door?” she asked when she stepped inside, turning to stare up at them both.
Travis growled as he nodded his head. She loved when he did that. Loved that he didn’t try to refrain from expressing his desire for her or for Gage. Between the two of them, she felt like the sexiest woman in the world, and the passion that glimmered in their eyes did wondrous things to her insides.
“So, I was thinking,” she began, pretending to be lost in thought.
“Quit thinking,” Gage said tersely, moving in close and picking her up off of her feet. He carried her to the couch and lowered her to her back gently, easing his muscular body over her as he did.
Clasping her hands around his neck, she smiled up at him seconds before she pulled his face down to hers. “Kiss me,” she whispered.
“My pleasure.”
Kylie got lost in Gage’s kiss, letting her hands roam up and down his back as she pulled him to her, pressing her hips up off the couch as he ground his erection between her thighs.
It was crazy how hot they could make her. She never seemed to get enough of them. Never.
“You’ve got on too many clothes,” Gage said gruffly, pulling his lips back from hers.
“You’re both a little overdressed as well,” she reminded him.
And that was all she had to say to get both men rushing to rid themselves of their clothes, along with getting her good and naked. When Gage went to move over her once again, she stopped him by holding up her hand.
“Wait.”
Gage and Travis glanced at one another, then back to her. Pushing up to a sitting position, Kylie stared up at them. “I think I should be able to admire you both for a minute.”
“Under one condition,” Travis said, pulling her attention from their magnificent cocks up to meet their faces.
“What’s that?”
“We get to admire you right back.”
“I’m naked, aren’t I?”
“You are, but I was thinking of something a little better than being naked.”
“What could possibly be better than her being naked?” Gage asked Travis, a confused look on his face.
Kylie chuckled.
Travis looked over at Gage momentarily. “Well, from where I stand, the two of you naked is certainly better than one of you. But that’s not what I was thinking.”
Travis’ comment made Gage’s eyes drift down, and Kylie watched her men carefully.
“What were you thinking?” Gage asked, his voice now gruff with desire.
“I want to watch her play with herself.”
Gage’s head jerked in her direction, and Kylie laughed again. She loved to see the stunned look on his face when Travis did stuff like that. He was always looking for ways to heat them up until they threatened to spontaneously combust.
“Play with myself?” she asked, trying to sound as though she didn’t understand.
“That’s right,” Travis said seriously.
“You mean like this?” Kylie cupped her naked breasts as she stared up at them from her seat on the couch.
“That’s a good start.”
“Or did you mean this?” she questioned, spreading her legs wider and sliding one hand down her belly to hover right over her mound.
A simultaneous growl made her pussy throb, and she watched as Travis gripped his c
ock, holding himself firmly. “Show me, Kylie. Slide your finger inside your pussy.”
A ripple of need coursed from her womb outward, making her thighs quiver. Travis’ deep baritone was sexy as hell when he spoke in a normal conversation, but when his tone was rough with desire, she could barely control herself.
Sliding one finger inside of her pussy, Kylie let her gaze travel over their chests, back and forth she admired the hard planes and angles of their beautiful bodies while she played with herself.
“Stroke yourself,” she instructed them both.
Travis had a head start, but Gage wasn’t going to be left behind. She watched as they gripped their cocks, their hands a shade lighter than their thick, heavy shafts.
Kylie emitted a moan, unable to control herself. They were so damn hot, her insides threatened to boil over. As she pinched one nipple, she slid two fingers inside herself, opening her thighs even wider as they continued to watch her. The fierce longing she saw in their eyes made her desperate. She wanted to come, but she wanted them inside of her when it happened.
Pulling her fingers from her pussy, Kylie never took her eyes off of them. She watched as their eyes followed the progress of her fingers until she slipped them inside her mouth. Before she could even pull them out, Gage was on her, forcing her onto her back and making her laugh.
“Woman, you’re killing me,” he groaned, his thick cock surging inside of her, making her eyes close and her body bow from the intense pleasure.
“Fuck, yes,” Gage growled.
When Kylie opened her eyes, she found Travis standing beside them, his knees resting on the edge of the couch beside her head, leaning over so that his glorious cock hovered directly above her face. As he propped himself against the back of the couch, he looked down at her, meeting her gaze head on as he smiled. “Suck me.”
Kylie lifted her head so that she could reach him, her tongue sliding over the engorged head, lapping at the pre-cum she found there. The position was uncomfortable, but Travis easily remedied that as he leaned down lower, propping himself on his forearms against the back of the couch as he continued to watch her down the length of his body.
