Kendall shook his head, not sure he could watch Maya go through the pain of labor and then watch their baby actually being born.
Adam said, “Kendall, I know how you feel, thinking about being there for something like that. But when it’s yours it’ll be different. I remember thinking there was no way I could watch Grace go through that, but I’ve realized since then that she’ll need us. Her needs take priority over my fears.”
Eli nodded in agreement. “Rachel’s even talking about having the baby at home, maybe using the big tub and having a water birth.”
Ethan chuckled. “They both are talking about that. Part of me still hopes Grace gives birth in the hospital with as little pain or risk as possible.”
Kendall couldn’t help but notice the satisfied smile on Ethan’s face when he mentioned his wife. And Eli looked like he could handle whatever he had to in order to be there for Rachel. Kendall understood that kind of devotion. If Maya wanted him there for that event he knew he would be there for her, too.
Boone asked, “Wes, does Rosemary like working with the two of you? I ran into her over at Cheaver’s the other day. Is she still splitting her time between your furniture business and the family store?”
Wes and Evan chuckled as they leaned side by side against the kitchen counter. Wes replied, “Rosemary works basically wherever the hell she feels like it on any given day of the week. Randy lost an assistant manager a couple of weeks ago, and so she’s been helping out a bit more over there. I’ll tell you, that girl can sell ice to Eskimos. We saw a one-hundred-percent rise in sales when she started visiting with clients. We got lucky that she’s interested in our business.”
“No, bro.” Evan chuckled. “We got lucky when she said ‘I do’ on that beach on Grand Cayman last summer.” Wes smiled and nodded as the other men chuckled.
Kendall turned his gaze out to the living room as the ladies’ discussion continued. He watched as Teresa’s toddler son, Eleazar, walked up to Maya and handed her his little board book.
“My-my, read me?”
Maya nodded and said something to him softly as she lifted him into her lap and opened the thick pages of the durable book. Kendall chuckled at the little boy’s version of Maya’s name. My-my. Yep, he felt the same way.
He looked over and caught Boone and Richard watching her, too. He wondered if he bore the same goofy, in-love expression on his face. Sometimes he wanted to pinch himself because this relationship with her had been a fantasy for so many years.
He’d been in and out of relationships, but she was the only woman he’d ever loved this deeply, even if it was only from afar.
He recalled a time during the year after the three of them had met their first year in college. He’d been dating a girl at the time who had been more flash than substance. It was his first experience living away from home, and the freedom had been heady. Pam was a social butterfly and very concerned with appearances and pleasing her sorority sisters. At a party she dumped him harshly in public, calling him a dumb redneck. When Maya had found out, she’d come to his dorm room and convinced him to go to supper with her and Morgan, who had seized the day and was already dating her.
Later that night after the party was over, the three of them had gone to the sorority house and toilet papered every tree in their pristinely landscaped front yard.
Though he had nothing to do with it, he thought it was hilarious when he saw the large sign proclaiming the name of the university at the entry to the campus. Someone had spray-painted in neat, red letters, “Pamela Vandernoot takes it up the ass. Call her at…” and then listed her phone number.
It wasn’t until later when he was telling Morgan and Maya about it that he noticed the red spray-paint residue on her fingers. She’d blushed and hugged him then told him Pamela didn’t know her ass from a hole in the ground. To this day, he remembered the feel of her comforting hug when he thanked her. It had felt like slightly more than commiseration when she looked up at him with earnest blue eyes and told him he deserved someone much better than Pamela Vandernoot. Morgan had agreed with her. That was the day he fell in love with Maya.
He didn’t need to have made love to her to know he wanted her forever. Then there was the fantasy he and his brothers had entertained lately, that she would somehow find it in her heart to not only love again, but to love the three of them enough to make a commitment. It was too soon to talk about engagements or things like that, but the three of them hoped for something permanent with her. The thought of making love with her and then watching her leave at the end of her week-long stay with them tore him up. Bit by bit Boone and Richard were losing their hearts to her, and it was no surprise, given the way she’d claimed his heart.
It gave him hope that she’d reacted favorably to the news that Grace had put in a good word for her with Dr. Guthrie, who would soon lose her RN to retirement. He hoped that meant she was seriously considering Divine as her permanent home.
Boone had mentioned to him the night before that he and Maya had been intimate out at the creek earlier that day. He’d expected as much when Boone had told them he would fetch her from the creek. Kendall knew if it had been him, he’d have done the same thing. She’d returned with Boone and Richard looking content and rosy-cheeked. He couldn’t wait until he had the opportunity to put that bloom in her cheeks himself.
He’d disciplined himself to one more night of nothing but rest for Maya and hoped tonight could be the night for the three of them. He planned to talk with her about it at their first private moment together.
Kendall observed Maya with little Eleazar in her lap as Michael approached and leaned against her. He couldn’t hear what Michael was saying, but the look on Maya’s face and the twinkle in Michael’s dark eyes told him the little cowboy must be flirting with her. Like fathers, like son.
“Hey, Angel, I think your boy is making time with our woman,” Kendall said with a chuckle as he nodded his chin in their direction.
Angel and Joaquin looked over at the exchange. Both of them laughed and Angel replied, “Michael’s skills with women rival even our brothers’, Luka and Matthias. We’re gonna have hell to pay when he’s a teenager.”
Joaquin guffawed as he proudly watched his sons and whispered, “Oh, damn. They’re tag-teaming her, Angel.”
Kendall had to suppress laughter as he watched little Eleazar gaze adoringly at Maya and reach out a pudgy hand to caress her cheek. Maya was obviously enthralled by the two miniature Don Juans as they worked their charms on her. She glanced up at Kendall, a blush on her cheeks, and blew him an air kiss.
Ethan laughed and said, “The phone is going to be ringing nonstop when they’re teenagers.” He held up his pinky and thumb to the side of his face and said in a reedy, high-pitched voice, “Is Michael there? Um, er, um, can I talk to him pleeeeease?”
The men all laughed as they continued to give Angel and Joaquin a hard time over their flirtatious sons.
Boone elbowed Kendall and said, “She fits right in.”
Kendall’s eyes were on Maya as he murmured, “She does. I’ve been wondering…”
“About what?”
Kendall lowered his voice significantly as Richard joined the two of them. “She said earlier that she felt good. I feel like making love to her tonight.”
Maya glanced up at him and smiled when she caught them all watching her. The blush in her cheeks deepened a bit more then she was distracted by a question from one of the girls. She looked at the men again as she answered, probably curious to know what they were talking about.
Boone’s tone was guarded and tight. “You want time alone with her tonight?” Kendall looked over at the two of them and shook his head. Sure, a part of him would like to have her undivided attention, but he didn’t want to start down that road this early. Later they could each have her all to themselves whenever the need or desire struck, but right now it was more important to share her love and lavish her with attention.
“No, Boone. I want to blow he
r mind with how good it’ll be between the four of us.”
Richard’s voice was so low they could barely hear him. “Do you think she can handle all three of us in one night, right off the bat?”
Boone replied, “If we put her in the driver’s seat, she’ll let us know if it gets to be too much.”
Maya laughed at something one of the girls said, and the melodious sound made Kendall’s heart perform a sappy little somersault. His cock was signaling interest and he willed it into submission. It wouldn’t do to walk around with a hard-on the whole evening.
“God, I can’t wait,” Boone said, most likely speaking for all three of them, judging by the bulges they were all sporting.
Kendall was trying to think of something to distract himself when a noxious odor filled the room. Ash groaned as he stood holding his sleeping seven-month-old son, Will, to his chest. “Dude.”
Evan and Wes snickered and moved away from him as Will punctuated the odorous aroma he’d created with a prodigious toot.
Wes laughed and waved his hand in the air. “Damn, Ash. What did you feed that boy? Broccoli?”
Ash chuckled and said, “It was just as awful-smelling going in as it is coming out, too.”
The men all burst into laughter as Ash grabbed the diaper bag. Juliana was away at market in Dallas with Margot Heston, Summer’s sister, so Ash had baby duty.
Grace must’ve overheard them and came to Ash’s rescue, taking the diaper bag from him and then relieving him of the baby. “Don’t worry, Ash. I’ll take care of him. You’ve had your poor hands full with Will for two days.”
“You sure, Grace? I change him all the time. It’s no bother.”
Grace smiled and replied, “It’s good practice for me.”
She cooed to the auburn-haired baby as she walked away, and Kendall noticed the smiles on her men’s faces as they watched her. They were goofy in love with her, and that was the truth.
After ascertaining that the women were caught up in their conversation, Jack finally told the men what Kendall had been waiting to hear about. They’d already done some digging about the offensive blog site that listed Grace, Teresa, and Rosemary by name.
“Ace and Kemp will get to the bottom of this and see what our options are. Kendall, Boone, and Richard, hopefully we can keep Maya’s name out of this altogether. Ace said he and Kemp should be back in town next week. How are things with Maya?”
Kendall met Jack’s eyes and replied for him and his brothers, “Good. She’s feeling better every day. I think she likes Divine. She loves the girls, judging by what I hear.”
“Think she might want to make a permanent move?” Adam asked quietly.
Kendall replied, “I think there’s a good possibility. We’re not rushing her to make a decision. Going at her pace like you suggested. She’s taken to Boone and Richard and seems very happy.”
“I can tell by the sappy grins on their faces they’re not disappointed about that at all,” Angel replied, drawing a chuckle from Boone and a downcast smile from Richard. No, Kendall didn’t think there was a disappointed bone in any of their bodies.

Maya glanced again at the three brothers leaning against the center island in the Warner’s kitchen. Every time one of their gazes landed on her, the heat of desire flamed higher inside of her. She thought she would’ve felt scared or at least nervous if it were any other men who looked at her that way. The love in their eyes tempered the lust that was kindled there.
She’d fallen asleep with her head resting in Boone’s lap the night before and had only vaguely remembered being carried to bed. The one thing she hoped to change tonight was that she’d be wide awake when she went to bed.
Jack called from the kitchen, where all the men were congregated, and said, “The food is ready, y’all.”
Maya looked up as Boone and Kendall came to stand beside the chair she was sitting in, both men laden with plates. Richard followed behind with four bottles of beer.
Kendall asked, “Want to sit outside?” There were several picnic benches under the shade of the live oaks in the backyard. Grace’s men followed her outside, and the others joined them. Boone led the way to a shady spot, and she took a seat next to him and across from Kendall and Richard. Nobody else joined them at their table.
She smiled at the pastoral scene surrounding them. In the side yard was a grove of tall oak trees, perfect for a party under the stars. To the rear of the property stood the two large red horse barns and the driveway connecting them to the foreman’s house where Kendall and his brothers lived. The whole place was situated on gentle rolling hills, much like the JWB was.
Kendall’s tone was serious and he watched her intently as he spoke. “We’ve been thinking, Maya.”
Maya stopped chewing as she looked at all three of them. Swallowing her food practically whole, she replied, “What’s the matter?”
Boone rubbed her shoulder gently as he said, “Nothing’s wrong, baby. Nothing at all.”
Kendall smiled and shook his head. “Sorry, that didn’t come out the way I intended. We’ve been thinking about you. Wondering if you’re ready to move on with us. Tonight.”
Relief swelled through her, followed by a wave of hot desire as her body responded ravenously to the suggestion. Finally. Finally! Feeling a little playful, she replied, “Sure. Where do you want to go?”
She froze, all friskiness forgotten when Boone gripped her ass cheek and squeezed. His lips brushed against her ear as he whispered, “You know exactly where we want to go. We want to lay you down on our bed and make you come until you’re hoarse from screaming. We want to make love to you until you can barely move. I personally want another taste of your creamy little pussy. You’re wet and hot right now just thinking about it, aren’t you?”
His dominant tone set off every nerve ending in her body. She wanted to strip naked right there and do whatever he commanded. She thought that part of her life, responding to a dominant male, was finished when Morgan had died so tragically in that hit-and-run accident. She’d told herself those days were over because what was the likelihood of her finding another man who got off on control like Morgan had?
She gazed up into his eyes, trying to express somehow, without words, how much what he was doing meant to her. She was thankful someone else understood this part of her.
He leaned close so only she could hear and whispered, “The look in your eyes right now sets me on fire, Maya. You like to give up control, don’t you? You’d like to put yourself in my hands.”
She nodded mutely, supper all but forgotten.
He smiled at her, looking very pleased and said, “Soon.”
Her cheeks heated up as their private exchange ended, and she looked at Kendall and Richard. They were eating and watching the two of them like the discussion was no big deal. They were all different, and so it made sense that what they each wanted with her might be different as well.
She went back to eating her food but wondered if the three of them could feel the heat her body felt like it was throwing off.
After a few, silent, thoughtful bites, Richard asked, “Maya, are you nervous? I don’t want you to feel worried or…scared.”
His thoughtfulness touched her heart, and she hastened to set his mind at ease. “I’m feeling a lot of things right now, Richard, but worried is not one of them.” She lowered her voice and continued. “I’m mildly nervous, but any girl would be who’d never made love with three men all together. I’m looking forward to it, and you don’t have to worry about me feeling fearful at all.” That seemed to satisfy him, and she realized that must have been his real concern. She loved Richard’s caring nature. Honestly, she couldn’t think of three men she was less frightened of.
Well, Boone had a little edge that scared her, but in a good way. She wondered how long she’d have to wait before the men said their goodnights and departed.
Chapter Eleven
Heart racing with anticipation, Maya stepped from the shower and
toweled her body dry. Kendall, Boone, and Richard waited for her in the bedroom. She heard the water shut off in the other bathroom and hurriedly dried her hair and brushed her teeth. She stood before the mirror, staring at herself. She’d seen the same sad face in her mirror at home for over a year. Now a new woman stared back at her. This one had rosy cheeks, a sparkle in her eye, and dared to go after what she wanted.
She would make love with all three of them tonight. The thought caused her heart to race even faster, and her pussy lips throbbed so maddeningly she almost pressed a finger between them to massage the ache. Her clit felt twice its normal size and as she hung her towel her juices seeped out and dampened her thighs. She had to pause and breathe normally at the thought of their big cocks filling her there soon.
She heard male voices in the bedroom as she turned off the bathroom light and opened the door. After her eyes adjusted to the dim light, she could clearly see the three of them relaxing on the bed. Her legs trembled as she walked to the bed and climbed up beside Kendall, who lay in the middle. Richard sat beside him against the headboard, and Boone lay across the foot of the bed.
Desire and lust were evident on their faces as they gazed at her, and she felt small and delicate surrounded by them. As big as they were and as hard and thick as their cocks looked, she should have been trembling with trepidation. But the lust in their eyes was tempered by something gentle, and she knew she was in good hands with these men.
Kendall reached for her first, and she went to him, turning her head to look at Boone and Richard.
“Come here, Maya. You look a little nervous,” Kendall murmured. She curled into his arms at his side and allowed his warmth to steady her as Boone and Richard drew closer.
She gazed at him and smiled, shaking her head negatively. “No, I don’t know what you want me to do…how you want me to be. This is new to me.”
Boone nodded as he stroked her calf and the back of her thigh as he drew closer to her backside. Richard had moved closer and watched her with luminous eyes, the set of his mouth almost grim. She wondered what thoughts went through his mind.
