Tori’s breath hitched and her chin wobbled, but she managed to answer even if her voice trembled a little. Jeremiah was worried for a moment. That was until he realized she was overcome with emotion.
“Thank you. No one’s ever really been there for me before, besides Felicity, and we didn’t really have a chance to socialize much since we both had a similar upbringing.”
“Do you have your cell phone, darlin’?” Bryant asked.
Luther loosened his hold around Tori’s waist when she dug into her pocket and pulled her phone out, before handing it to Bryant.
“I’m going to put our cell numbers in your phone on speed dial. If you need us or just want to chat, don’t even think of hesitating to call us.” Bryant glanced up from her cell and met her gaze. “Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
“We don’t care what time it is,” Jeremiah said. “Day or night no matter what the hour. Okay?”
“Yes.”
“Good,” Luther said. “Now why don’t we walk you back to the house, so you can get some rest?”
“I don’t need you to come with me. I’m a big girl.” Tori smiled.
“We know, honey, but we like to see our dates safely to the door.” He reached out, grabbed her hand, and led her out. Jeremiah just hoped it wouldn’t be too long before they saw or heard from Tori again.
The only way she could get to know them was by spending more time with them. But it was going to be difficult with them all starting the next step on the path of new careers. Jeremiah was just glad she was still living in the guest room of the ranch house. If she wasn’t he had a feeling they would hardly see her at all.

The next four weeks flew by for Tori, but they also seemed to drag. She and Trick were so busy with refurbishing the shop and painting. She was just glad that Trick’s brothers, Trent and Tristan, were in the construction business because Trick had commandeered them to help outfit the store and they got their services at a cheaper rate. Once they had the shelves, display cabinets, and clothing racks set up they’d set out stock and had hardly had a moment to themselves.
Tori looked out the window as she painted the timber window frame. When she saw movement across the road she squinted against the sun’s glare and saw a man leaning against the tree watching her. A chill ran up and down her spine and she looked around for Trick, but when she couldn’t see him she turned back to the window. The guy was no longer looking at her but down the street. At first she’d been a little concerned but she pushed her worry aside when she realized he was probably just curious about what she and Trick were doing and what sort of shop they were going to open. When he walked away, she chuckled under her breath at her own paranoia and was glad she hadn’t called Trick over, and made a fool of herself.
She finished painting and moved on to the next job on her list.
Tori had read so many instruction manuals her head was spinning. If she had to read another instruction leaflet about how to put a baby’s cot together, she may just end up running through the street screaming. It was really hard to work things out when the instructions were written grammatically incorrect, but she’d persevered and triumphed in the end.
The only time she got to spend with Luther, Jeremiah, and Bryant was at dinner time, but she was so tired by the end of each day she wasn’t very good company.
But she’d been happy for them when they’d found a place to buy, and the three Katz brothers were also busy fixing up the ranch house and getting the paddocks ready so they could bring in some cattle.
Tori was glad that Felicity’s morning, afternoon, and evening sickness with her pregnancy seemed to have settled down. She hadn’t had the chance to do any cooking or cleaning for her. Flick’s husbands had taken over those chores until their wife was feeling better.
The grand opening for Mom’s and Bub’s was tomorrow and even though she should have been zonked out by now, Tori was too excited to sleep. She turned her pillow over again and rolled to her side, but no matter how hard she tried to relax she couldn’t. After flinging the covers aside she pulled her track pants on beneath her large T-shirt and headed to the kitchen. She got a glass of water and took it out onto the verandah and breathed in the fresh, crisp night air. Tori just hoped that now everything was set up that she wouldn’t have to spend nearly every waking moment working at the store. With any luck now she could work more regular hours and get to spend more time with Luther, Jeremiah, and Bryant.
When she glanced toward the far bunkhouse she saw that there was a light on inside. She wanted to go over there and visit but decided it was too late. It was already close to midnight and she was meeting Trick at the shop tomorrow morning at seven.
Tori turned her head toward the end of the verandah when she heard a noise and her heart pounded hard in her chest when she saw the shadow of a large man walking toward her. Her breath was choppy and she placed her hand on her chest, trying to calm her racing heart.
“Tori, what are you doing out here?” Luther asked as he drew closer to the steps and then came up them. He must have seen her hand and realized he’d frightened her. “I didn’t mean to scare you, baby. Sorry.”
“It’s okay. I couldn’t see who was out here and got a little nervous.”
“Why aren’t you in bed asleep?”
“I’m too anxious.”
Luther stopped in front of her and then gestured toward the cushion beside her. “Do you mind if I sit down?”
“Sure.”
“Is everything set for the opening tomorrow?” Luther asked after he was seated.
“Yes. As much as it can be.”
“I’m sorry we haven’t been in to help you or take a peek, but we’ve been busy. Now that the house is finished and the paddocks are all fenced off we should be able to keep better hours. Although we have a shipment of cattle coming in tomorrow afternoon.”
“Wow, you guys must have been working flat chat?”
“We have.” Luther took her free hand in his and started playing with her fingers. “We’re going to come by in the morning for a bit of moral support.”
“Thank you, that means a lot.”
“You mean a lot to us, baby.” Luther cleared his throat. “Have you thought about what you want yet, Tori?”
“Yes.”
“And have you made any decisions?”
“Yes.” Tori swallowed nervously. “I’d really like to have a relationship with you.”
“You would?” Luther sounded as if her answer was unexpected and he was relieved.
“Yes.”
Luther’s hands landed at her waist and she gave a squeak of surprise when he lifted her onto his lap. His lips brushed against hers and then he whispered against her mouth. “Thank you, baby. I promise you won’t regret your decision.”
And then he was kissing her. He didn’t start off slow, but devoured her from the first meeting of lips. His tongue plunged into her mouth, twirling with hers until they were both moaning and panting. Luther lifted his head and stared deeply into her eyes. “God, I’ve missed you. Will you let me make you feel good? Maybe you’ll be able to sleep afterward.”
“Yes. Please,” Tori replied and then leaned forward so she could kiss him. Their tongues mated and he ran his hand up and down her body. When he cupped her breast and thrummed her hard nipple she arched into his touch. But it wasn’t enough. She needed to feel his warm skin and hard muscles under her hands, and his large hands on her bare skin.
Tori slipped her hand beneath the hem of his shirt and caressed him all over. She loved the feeling of his heat and body beneath her hand and she stroked up until she reached the pinhead-sized nipple and pinched it between her finger and thumb.
Luther broke the kiss and nuzzled her neck with his nose. “Fuck, baby. You’ve got me so hard.”
“I’ll say.” Tori giggled as she wiggled on his lap.
“You little minx. I’ll get you back for that.”
“Promises, promises,” Tor
i said and was surprised by her own playfulness. She’d never been this way before but she liked it. Hopefully now that she’d decided she wanted to be with them she would be more relaxed. She liked this side of herself and it seemed that Luther did, too.
He copied her moves and smoothed his hand up over her stomach and then cupped her braless breast. She moaned and arched into his palm, silently begging for more. He flicked her nipple with his thumb and her pussy clenched in reaction, leaking cream out onto her panties. And then his hand moved back down and pushed beneath the elastic of her sweatpants and panties.
His mouth slanted over hers just as his fingers slid through her wet folds and muffled the groan that erupted from deep in her chest. When he pushed a finger up inside her cunt she bowed up into his touch and blindly felt at his waistband for his belt buckle. She fumbled with it a few times and was pleased when Luther helped her out by opening the clasp and then she took over again. She pulled the button on his jeans open and carefully lowered the zipper over his massively erect cock.
Tori pushed her hand into his shorts and wrapped it around his erection, pumping it a few times. Her hand slipped from his cock when he lifted her off of his lap and then he pushed his jeans and boxers down to the top of his thighs, before her ass landed on the cushion beside him.
“I need you so bad, baby. I’ve never felt like this before. I feel almost…desperate to be inside you.”
Tori felt the same way and craved to know what his cock would feel like as he slid in and out of her wet pussy.
“Do you have any protection?”
“Yes.”
“Get it,” Tori commanded. There was no way she could go to sleep when she ached so badly for his touch.
“Are you sure, baby? You don’t have to do this.”
“I want to. I need you, Luther.”
Luther stood up, dug into his pocket for the condom, and then he pushed his jeans and underwear down to his ankles. He ripped open the foil pack and then rolled the latex down over his penis. When he was done he reached for her again and pushed the sweatpants and panties she was wearing over her hips, down her legs, and she kicked them aside.
He picked her up and sat back down on the small outdoor sofa. She ended up with her knees in the cushion on either side of his body, facing him as she straddled his hips. Luther shifted one of his hands back between her legs and caressed her pussy from her clit down to her hole and back up to her clit again. He rubbed the tip of his finger over the enlarged sensitive nub a few times.
“So wet for me, baby. Do you want my cock inside your pussy?”
“Yes,” Tori said on a low moan. “Hurry.”
And then she took a deep breath and held it when she felt the tip of his condom-covered cock at her entrance. Both of his hands were now back on her hips and he gently pulled her down. She groaned with frustration when his hard dick slipped away from her cunt, but then his hand brushed against her as he reached between her legs and held it upright.
“Take me inside you, Tori,” Luther panted.
Tori slowly lowered herself down and moaned when he began to penetrate her pussy. He was so big her walls stretched to permit him and she felt a slight burning sensation.
“Nice and easy, baby. Just go slow.” His deep, gravelly voice washed over her, causing her whole body to shiver as goose bumps formed over her skin.
“Fuck. So hot, wet, and tight.”
“Oh God, Luther. You feel so good.” Tori moved up and down, gaining inch after inch of his hard cock inside her cunt. By the time she had him all the way inside her she was filled to capacity and quaking with need.
“Are you ready, babe? Are you ready for me?” Luther rasped.
“Yes, I need you, Luther. Help me, I don’t know what to do.”
His hold on his hips became firmer, but not enough to hurt her or leave any marks, and then he slowly lifted her up from his body until just the tip of his cock was still inside her. Tori was so hungry for him she didn’t want slow. When he started pulling her back down, she let gravity take over and slammed down onto him.
“Damn, Tori. Don’t do that. I don’t want to hurt you,” Luther panted.
“You won’t.” She gasped. “I need you deep inside me. I want fast and hard, Luther.”
Luther made a low, growly noise in his throat and then he wrapped his arms around her, rose to his feet, and carried her away from the sofa. He spun around and pressed her back against the side of the house.
“Tell me if I hurt you,” were the last words he spoke before he began pumping his hips.
Tori bit her lip and tried to keep the moans and groans from escaping her mouth as Luther began to fuck her. His cock slid in and out of her pussy over and over again. Each time his pelvis connected with hers he ground against her clit. The sensations of having his cock shuttling in and out of her cunt were unbelievably exquisite. Their lower bodies slapped together with each rock of their hips and the pressure building inside her was overwhelming.
She’d never felt anything like this before and hoped she would again very, very soon.
His cock caressed her snug walls so exquisitely and the friction of each stroke sent her higher and higher and higher. Her muscles fluttered around his hard penis and cream continually dripped from her cunt.
Luther’s hands kneaded and spread her ass cheeks, causing a slight sting in her back hole, but that only made the pleasure greater. And then he was pumping into her faster and harder, grunting each time their bodies slammed together.
Tension seeped into every muscle until her body was so taut she thought she may just break. And then she did.
Luther slanted his mouth over hers, his tongue pushing in to glide along hers as he pounded into her. She shattered. Her cunt clamped and released, quaked and quavered on his cock as rapture assailed her whole body. She shivered and shook and cried out as cum gushed from her pussy.
He thrust into her twice more and then froze, and he groaned as his cock heated even more, expanded slightly inside her as he spumed cum into the end of the condom. Tori slumped against the side of the house in languid satiation, glad that he had the strength to hold her up. Even though her arms were wrapped around his neck and her legs around his waist, she had no strength left. She felt as limp as a wet noodle.
Luther lifted his mouth from hers and rested his forehead against hers as they both panted for breath.
“You’re amazing, Tori.” Luther kissed her lightly on the lips. “Thank you, baby.”
Tori lowered her legs and was glad he held her steady as she got her equilibrium back, because she wobbled a bit. She winced at the tenderness between her thighs and unhooked her arms from around his neck. It was only then she realized that they were out in the open where anyone could have seen them. The only consolation was that she still had her large sleeping T-shirt on and it had fallen to mid-thigh as she lowered her legs. She was completely covered. She’d never done anything like that before and was a little embarrassed at how carried away she’d been. She just hoped that none of the ranch hands had heard or seen them. Tori scanned the yard and was relieved when she didn’t see anyone and all the lights in the other bunkhouse were off.
Thank God, she’d been worrying over nothing. At least that’s what she hoped.
Luther stepped back, picked up his clothes, and put them back on before turning toward her again.
“We’re moving to our own place on Sunday.” He paused to take a breath. “Would you come with us?”
“You’re moving?” Tori gulped, hoping he couldn’t hear the hurt in her voice.
He cupped her face between his hands. “We want you to move in with us, baby.”
“I–I don’t know…”
“Tori, you agreed to be in a relationship with us. We can get to know each other better if you move in.”
“What if it doesn’t work out?” Tori blurted out her innermost fear.
“It will.” Luther kissed her forehead. “We’ve hardly seen each other over the last month.
We’ve all been so busy, but now that the house renovations are done, we want more than that with you, baby. We want you with us all the time.”
Now that she had decided to be with them and had sex with Luther, she wanted so much more. And he was right. They were all so busy with their new careers the only way to see each other was if she moved in with them. She didn’t want to have a few stolen moments with Luther, Jeremiah, and Bryant on the weekend.
Tori wanted everything with them because she had gone and done the one thing she vowed she’d never do.
She’d fallen in love with the Katz brothers.
Chapter Nine
Bryant was glad that Tori was moving in with them. He’d been a little envious that Luther had made love to their woman, but he knew his and Jeremiah’s time was coming. He just hoped it would be soon. They’d worked their asses off getting the house livable and all the fencing and barns up to par.
He, Luther, and Jeremiah had gone to the grand opening of Mom’s and Bub’s and had been astounded with what they saw. The whole shop was dedicated to pregnant women, women with kids and babies. There were furniture displays, linens and blankets for the cots and cribs, and also maternity and baby clothes. He’d never seen so much of that stuff in one place before. He guessed there were similar stores in other towns and cities, but he’d never taken much notice.
Hopefully one day he and his brothers along with Tori would be able to go shopping for baby things, too. Bryant had dropped into the shop yesterday since he’d needed to go to town for some supplies and he’d taken lunch for Tori. She’d seemed a little distracted and kept looking out the window and glancing around as if she were nervous. At first he’d thought she was worried about what customers would think seeing him in the shop talking to her, but he knew when she kissed him that he was wrong. But there was something going on with her and he wanted to know what. For this relationship to work between the four of them they had to communicate about everything. He’d wanted to ask what was distressing her but more customers had entered the shop and he didn’t think it was appropriate to have that conversation when others could overhear.
