And then he, his brothers, Noah, Zach and Tom were diving for cover as another shot rang out, the bullet pinging into the front of Noah’s car.
Inhuman, animalistic screaming followed the shot and the police officers rose to a crouch, their weapons drawn, as they moved stealthily toward the SUV.
“Is she alive?” Finch asked in a hoarse voice. His heart was beating so fast and his throat was so tight he could barely get the words out.
“I don’t know.” Ash squeezed his shoulder and then handed Finch his rifle. He’d been so hell-bent on seeing and trying to get to Jewel he hadn’t even thought to grab his gun. He’d never done anything so stupid before. He was a trained army man and should have been able to deal with this situation with cold calculation, but all he learned had gone out the window the moment Jewel had been kidnapped.
“Let’s go get these fuckers,” Finch snarled and rushed toward the SUV right behind the cops.

She covered her ears and glanced at Kenny, slumping in her seat when she saw that he was okay. The windscreen had shattered from the bullet and cool night air wafted into the vehicle.
Reilly shoved her aside, got up on his knees and aimed out the back. He fired another shot and then cracked the barrel open to reload.
Jewel and Kenny must have had the same idea because a second later, they both dived for the gun and Reilly.
Reilly’s mouth opened and shut, probably screaming profanities, but she couldn’t hear a thing, which was no doubt a blessing. Kenny was wedged between the front seats, his upper body in the back seat, and as he tried to wrestle the gun from Reilly’s hands, Reilly’s elbow clipped her under the jaw. Stars exploded in Jewel’s head, and although she tried to remain conscious, it was a losing battle.

Ash provided backup as the cops rushed the SUV. He moved in closer and was surprised to see the driver of the SUV struggling to get the rifle from the idiot in the back. What scared the absolute shit out of him was that he couldn’t see Jewel. He hoped she had just crouched down on the floor when the gun had gone off and that she didn’t have a bullet in her and was bleeding out.
“Police, put your hands up where we can see them,” Noah shouted.
The struggle for the rifle continued. Zach and Tom moved in, opened the driver’s door and the back passenger side where the arsehole with the gun was and hauled both men from the SUV. Noah snatched the gun away as Zach and Tom cuffed both the men.
Finch hurried to the other side of the car and felt his heart stop when he saw Jewel unconscious, draped half on and half off the back seat.
“Call an ambulance,” he yelled. Tears burned his eyes and then streamed down his face as he reached in and brushed the hair back from Jewel’s face. He roared with fury and pain when he saw how swollen and bruised her cheeks and jaw were.
“Get it together, Finch,” Ash said in a choked voice as he squeezed Finch’s shoulder. “We need to make sure she hasn’t been shot and isn’t bleeding anywhere.”
Finch nodded, wiped his face with the back of his hands and carefully ran his hands over every part of Jewel’s body he could reach. Satisfied that she didn’t have any broken bones and wasn’t bleeding, he carefully manoeuvred her body onto the seat and then lifted her into his arms.
Heath, Cal and Ash growled with anger when they saw her poor face.
Finch carried her over to the grassy verge, and after making sure there weren’t any rocks that would dig into her, he knelt on the ground and then sat, gently lowering Jewel down and resting her head on his thigh. “Get the first aid kid from the car.”
Heath took off at a jog and was back with the kit.
Ash crouched down and ran his hands up and down Jewel’s arms and legs. “No broken bones.”
“No blood, either,” Cal said as he, too, sat down next to Jewel.
“Here’s the thermal blanket,” Heath said, and then draped the silver blanket over Jewel.
“She’s not having any trouble breathing,” Finch said and placed his fingers at her throat to test her pulse. “Her heartbeat is strong.”
“I can hear the ambulance siren.” Cal rose to his feet and walked out onto the road.
Finch didn’t want to let go of Jewel when the ambulance officers came to examine her and then loaded her into the back of the ambulance.
“Which hospital?” Ash asked.
“Bendigo Private,” one of the paramedics said.
“I’m going with you.” Finch hurried toward the ambulance.
“We don’t usually take—”
Finch glared the ambulance officer down and then got into the back. He sat near Jewel’s feet and watched the medic assess and begin treating his woman.
All the time, he prayed that Jewel would wake up soon. He needed to know that she was going to be okay and see her beautiful eyes.
Chapter Sixteen
Four weeks later
“You nearly ready, baby?” Finch called from the hallway.
Jewel was looking forward to getting out after the Reilly incident. She had been lucky to have only suffered bruising, swelling and a very bad headache after being knocked out. Reilly and Kenny had been arrested.
Noah, Zach and Tom had taken her statement and arranged for Reilly to be charged with kidnapping, assault and attempted murder. Kenny had been released, as he’d been innocent of any wrongdoing.
Jewel gave a last glance in the mirror and then turned toward the door. She was just about to exit the bedroom when Finch came rushing in with a frown on his face.
“Are you all right, baby?”
“I’m fine,” Jewel answered through clenched teeth. As much as she loved her guys, she was getting sick of their hovering. Hopefully, the night out to Four Passion Club would get them to relax more.
“You didn’t answer me when I asked if you were ready.”
Jewel reached up and stroked his cheek. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to ignore you. I was about to meet you in the living room.”
Finch pulled her into his arms, hugged her tight and kissed the top of her head. “No, I’m the one who should be apologising. We’ve all been a little irrational after what happened.”
“Yes, you have. You are all starting to drive me crazy, Finch. I know it’s because you love me, but I’m beginning to feel a little smothered.”
“Okay. We’ll try to curb our overbearing protectiveness.”
“I love you, Finch. I love all of you, but I can take care of myself. Well, most of the time, anyway.”
“I know, baby.”
Jewel’s stomach growled with hunger, making Finch laugh.
“Come on, you. Let’s go.”
Jewel had the time of her life. After a great meal, she and her men danced the night away at the Four Passion Club. By the time the local band played their last set, she was yawning every other minute.
“You’re tired.” Ash slung his arm over her shoulder and pulled her against his side.
“Yes, I am, but it’s a good tired. You know?”
Ash nodded. “Are you ready to head home?”
Jewel smiled. She loved it that she had a home and four men who loved her, no matter her faults or her moods. Although she was only just over two months pregnant, she was beginning to tire easily and she’d tried to hide it from her men, but they seemed to see every little thing where she was concerned.
“Yes, I’m ready.” Jewel said good-bye to Tiffany, Jenna and Molly, as well as their men, and followed Ash while Cal held her hand, guiding her to Ash’s ute.
“How come Finch and Heath drove their own car? And why did they leave early?” Jewel had a feeling her guys were up to something, but she had no idea what.
“One of the mares is due to foal any day now. They left early to check on her,” Cal explained.
Jewel sighed as Ash lifted her into the front seat and Cal helped her put her seat belt on before getting into the back. “I checked Genesis this morning. She wasn’t showing signs she was about to go into lab
our.”
“They said they wanted to make sure she was okay,” Ash said, and then started the ignition.
Jewel shrugged and rested her head on the back of the seat. She must have dozed off, because when she opened her eyes as the ute slowed down, they were turning into the driveway.
Cal was at her door as soon as Ash stopped the vehicle and, after releasing her seatbelt, lifted her into his arms and carried her inside. The entry light was on, but the living room was dark and she wondered if Heath and Finch had gone to bed already. She hoped not. She’d had plans to make love with her men and wanted them all with her.
He carried her into the bedroom and, after lowering her to her feet, turned the light on.
Jewel gasped and her heart stuttered. The massive bed was covered with rose petals, and vases of flowers were on the bedside tables as well as the dresser. She was about to ask what the occasion was, but before she could speak, Heath and Finch came out of the dark bathroom and moved to stand beside Ash and Cal.
Ash went down onto his knees and held one of her hands. Cal, Heath and Finch went down on their knees, too, and before Cal could take her other hand in his, Finch snagged it and brought it to his lips.
Heath cleared his throat. “I love you, Jewel.”
“I love you, too, Heath,” she whispered through a constricted throat.
“I love you, baby.” Finch kissed the back of her hand again.
“I love you, Finch.”
“You are my world, darlin’. I couldn’t breathe without you. I love you, Jewel.”
“I love you, Cal.”
“Jewel,” Ash began. “You are our everything. I love you more than I could ever show or tell you.”
“I love you, too, Ash.”
Ash took a deep breath and then released it on a shudder. “Jewel Ellesworth, will you marry us?”
Jewel swallowed around the lump in her throat and didn’t care that she had tears streaming from her eyes. Her heart was so full of love and joy, and her soul was finally complete. She’d spent years flitting from place to place, running from past hurts and trying to find what was missing. She’d finally found it in Passion with her four men.
“Yes, I’ll marry you all. I don’t ever want to live without you.”
All her men rose to their feet. Ash lifted her left hand and she looked down when she felt him slip a ring onto her finger.
“Oh my. It’s beautiful,” Jewel said as she looked at the large emerald surrounded by a cluster of diamonds on a gold band.
“Not half as beautiful as you are, darlin’,ˮ Cal rasped before he swooped down and started kissing her.
The kiss became hot and wild, and when her men started to remove her clothes, she reached up and tugged at Cal’s shirt.
He broke the kiss, and when she was naked, Ash swept her from her feet and placed her on the sheet. Heath or Finch must have pulled the covers back while she was kissing Cal.
Her men quickly removed their clothes, but Cal was first to get naked. He gave her a hungry look and a wicked smile, and then he dove onto the bed between her splayed thighs.
Jewel moaned as he licked, sucked and ate her cunt, and then she groaned when Ash got onto the mattress beside her and started suckling on a nipple. Heath got on the other side of her, and as he kissed her, he squeezed and tweaked her other nipple.
She mewled when Finch pressed two fingers deep into her pussy and laved her clit with his tongue. She was so hot for her men, it didn’t take them long to get her off. As her body shuddered with aftershocks, Finch rose up onto his knees between her legs and drove his cock in balls-deep.
He rolled her over and helped her into a sitting position with her knees on either side of his hips. Cal moved in behind her, and after caressing and coating her anus with lube, donning a condom and coating the prophylactic, he breached her arse.
Jewel moaned and then sighed. She loved having her men inside of her, filling her with their hard cocks and their love. She reached over, grabbed hold of Heath’s cock and brought it to her mouth. Her tongue swirled around the tip and she savoured the salty, spicy flavour of his pre-cum on her tongue, before sucking him further into her mouth.
“Fuck yeah, honey. You have the sweetest mouth,” Heath gasped.
Jewel glanced to her other side, and after finding Ash, she fisted his cock and began to pump her hand up and down his length. He growled low in his throat and then began to rock his hips forward and back in rhythm to her strokes.
Cal withdrew to the corona of his dick, and as he surged back into her arse, Finch slid his cock from her pussy. She hollowed her cheeks and bobbed up and down Heath’s cock.
Each time her men pumped their hips, they increased the pace until their bodies were slamming into hers, their flesh making slapping sounds as they connected.
Jewel could feel the tension inside building, and the faster they moved, the faster she sucked, bobbed and pumped her hands.
“Can’t…hold…out.” Cal panted around his words, and then he yelled as he drove his cock deep into her anus. Jewel moaned as she felt his cock twitch and the heat of his cum as he filled the condom.
When he eased his dick from her bottom, she pulled her mouth from Heath’s cock and grunted with frustration.
“Don’t worry, honey, we’ll get you there.” Heath skirted around her until he was behind her. She heard him suit-up and a moist sound told her he was using lube to cover his sheathed cock. “I’m coming in, Jewel.”
“Hurry.” She whimpered. “I’m so close.”
Jewel sighed with relief as Heath invaded her star and then moaned as he and Finch started to move in and out of her pussy and arse. But this time, instead of counter-thrusting they pushed and pulled in and from her body simultaneously. She grabbed Ash’s erection and started licking and sucking on the tip.
“Fuck, sweetie. So good.” Ash groaned.
“Let’s make our fiancée come.” Finch kneaded her breasts and then plucked her nipples between his fingers and thumbs.
Jewel mewled as the tension began to build again, but this time, instead of a slow, steady climb, her pleasure shot up hard and fast.
Heath reached around her and, being careful not to touch Finch, he pressed his index finger onto her clit and then started caressing it, fast and firm.
Jewel sucked Ash down as far as she could and tried not to gag when he reached the back of her throat. She inhaled deeply through her nose and when she felt her throat muscles relax, she took him down further and swallowed around his cock.
“Jewel,” Ash roared and then his cum shot over the back of her tongue and down her throat. She swallowed reflexively, savouring the taste of his seed and happiness, knowing that she had pleasured her man.
Ash pulled his cock from her mouth and rolled over, falling to the floor with a thud. If she hadn’t been so close to climax herself, she would probably have been laughing her head off.
She sobbed with pleasure as her internal walls began to tighten, getting closer and closer together.
Finch and Heath pounded in and out of her cunt and arse, heating her body and blood from the inside out. And then Heath pinched her clit between two fingers.
Jewel screamed. Her vision dimmed, black spots forming in front of her eyes until they coalesced into one big wall of darkness. Her whole body quivered and quaked. Her internal muscles clamped and released, clenched and let go, in a cycle of pleasure so intense she wasn’t sure she’d survive it.
Cream gushed from her pussy and she dug her fingers into Finch’s chest as he and Heath continued to glide their cocks in and out of both her holes.
Just as she thought the climax was beginning to wane, Finch pinched her clit again. Her mouth opened on a soundless cry and she shot back up into the heavens. Euphoria buffeted her body as she shook and shivered, juices leaking out.
Heath growled low in his throat, drove his cock into her arse three more times, and then he roared as he climaxed. She was only vaguely aware of him trembling against her as he
shot his load into the condom.
Finch rolled her onto her back after Heath pulled his cock out of her arse, and then he was shuttling his cock in and out of her cunt, fast, hard and deep. Two stokes later, he tipped his head back and roared toward the ceiling. His body vibrated against hers as he orgasmed. She felt his warm cum flood her pussy and sighed as she began to come back to earth. Finch’s harsh pants tickled her ear, but she didn’t care.
She was so happy and loved, and she wouldn’t change a thing. Who would have thought she’d have found her destiny in a town called Passion? She certainly hadn’t, but she was so glad she had.
Jewel had so much to look forward to and years of happiness ahead. She was going to get married to the four men she loved and she was having a baby. She couldn’t have asked for anything more.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My name is Becca Van. I live in Australia with my wonderful hubby of many years, as well as my two children.
I read my first romance, which I found in the school library, at the age of thirteen and haven’t stopped reading them since. It is so wonderful to know that love is still alive and strong when there seems to be so much conflict in the world.
I dreamed of writing my own book one day but, unfortunately, didn’t follow my dream for many years. But once I started I knew writing was what I wanted to continue doing.
I love to escape from the world and curl up with a good romance, to see how the characters unfold and conflict is dealt with. I have read many books and love all facets of the romance genre, from historical to erotic romance. I am a sucker for a happy ending.
