This was for Tessa. We wanted to show her that she was enough for us, that we were more than compatible, and that we didn’t need anyone to confirm this undeniable fact for us. We wanted to do this for Tessa, because we all loved her, Jamie, Ellis, and I.
We would all do anything for her, anything at all. And I supposed that included wearing tight-assed scrubs to play doctor.
"Fine,” I sighed. “But if they rip and you can’t sneak them back to your work, it’s not my fault.”
“Not at all,” Ellis smiled. “In fact, I plan to rip them myself, if your cock doesn’t do it first.”
His eyes trailed down my chest to my groin and I only managed not to blush because all my blood was rushing down to my cock. At that moment there was the sound of the elevator dinging in the hallway.
Jamie pushed himself to his feet. “Don’t you start anything without me, lads,” he said, giving a pointed look to Ellis, who held up his hands.
“I’ll try my best,” Ellis replied. He winked at me and I couldn’t help but press my palm against my quickly swelling erection.
Jamie lumbered past me in those ridiculous hipster glasses, his half-hard cock swinging back and forth. He was a Neanderthal, but he was our Neanderthal. His slap on my ass stung like a bitch.
“Our patient is here,” he called, moving toward the front door of the apartment.
Yes, the missing piece.
My Tessa.
Our Tessa.
Jamie
I opened the door and ignored the look of complete and utter shock on Tessa’s face as she stood frozen in the hallway.
“Ms. Stewart?” I asked, keeping my voice as professional as possible despite never having anything resembling a professional job in my entire life.
“What in the world are you doing?” Tessa hissed, shoving me back inside her apartment and quickly closing the door behind her. “Why are you naked? And why are you wearing glasses?”
“Are you ready for your appointment, Ms. Stewart?” I asked, realizing that the clipboard I had been holding was upside down. “Can I provide you with a glass of water first, ma’am?”
“Appointment?” Tessa looked around the empty apartment as if that would provide some sort of clue as to what in the fuck I was talking about. “What appointment? And why are you calling me ma’am?”
Tessa reached for my clipboard, but I pulled it back, mostly so that she wouldn’t see there was nothing on it but a lame ass attempt at sketching her.
“The doctor is ready to see you, if you’re ready to proceed?” I pushed forward.
“Proceed with what?” She punched my shoulder, but there was a grin on her face nonetheless. I did my best to keep my face straight. She was just too fucking cute when she got all upset and bothered. I might just have to take her myself out here without Ellis and Cade. We could just say there was an insurance problem or something. People believed people in glasses.
“Ms. Stewart.” I lowered my face so I was eye to eye with her. “Have you been drinking?”
She poked my chest. “Have you?” she laughed.
“Look,” I said, “the doctors are very busy and they’re looking forward to seeing your responses to certain… stimuli. So if you don’t mind.”
I gestured toward the door, but Tessa stubbornly crossed her arms with a mischievous grin on her sexy fucking lips. “Not until you tell me what you’re up to.”
“Ms. Stewart, you’re being rather difficult, did you know that?”
She tried to keep a straight face, but the corners of her lips twitched up. She challenged me with brown eyes that only grew darker as her pupils started to dilate.
“Do you know what we do with difficult patients?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.
Tessa stood on her tip-toes and pressed her face close to mine. Her voice was low and seductive when she whispered to me. “What’s that, Irish man?”
I shook my head slowly, biting my lip at the look on her face. Then I shrugged. “I didn’t want to have to do this.”
Tessa cried out gleefully as I easily hoisted her over my shoulder. I spanked her ass for good measure, and she squirmed as I walked her toward the hallway to her bedroom. I received curious glances from Ellis and Cade as I marched in. But I just gave each of them a reassuring wink, then flopped Tessa on the bed and grinned down at her.
When I first moved in next door to her, I used to play my drums long and hard and louder than I thought was possible late into the night to see her, to see the real, uncovered, unhidden her. I’d called her every “T” name in the book but her own, just to get a rise out of her. I’d wanted desperately to see her, to know her, to get her to uncover the real Tessa behind the pretend wallflower.
But as I looked down at her on the bed, with Ellis and Cade on either side of me, I knew I’d never see the walls she’d once built again. There was nothing between us, nothing at all. She was herself. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear, nothing to keep covered any longer. She was perfect. I winked down at her.
“The doctor will see you now.”
Hair a mess around her, chest heaving in anticipation, hooded eyes fixed on me, she was beautiful.
My Tessa.
Our Tessa.
Ellis
Tessa watched me carefully as I pulled a chair up to the edge of her bed. “Ms. Stewart,” I said, voice soft, “we’re going to start this sex study by taking a listen to your heart. Is that alright?”
“Oh…I get it now! This is the sex study. Our sex study.” Her eyes twinkled in delight. Then something shifted there, something hot and sultry. I swallowed heavily when I saw her bite her lip, breath catching.
“We’ll have to take your shirt off,” I said.
“Okay,” Tessa whispered.
I glanced over at Cade and held back a chuckle as he squirmed uncomfortably, still in his admittedly very tight scrubs. So I might have gotten one or two sizes too small for him. Hey, he looked good, alright?
“Nurse,” I said, nudging my chin in Tessa’s direction.
Cade climbed onto the bed on his knees and moved behind her. “Miss,” he said over her shoulder.
Tessa smiled sweetly up at him, then raised her arms over her head. Cade pulled her T-shirt past her head and they kissed sweetly. Then Tessa returned her steady, trusting, loving gaze back to me like two magnets that will always be drawn together, no matter what. My eyes traveled down her naked chest and the goosebumps that covered her bare arms and when my eyes returned to her face I found her still watching me.
“It might be a little cold.”
I wasn’t even sure Tessa heard me, my voice was softer even than a whisper. For some reason I feared speaking too loudly, as if this moment needed no words, as if words could not communicate what our bodies already spoke to one another.
Tessa flinched a little when I placed the head of the stethoscope just above her breast, the tight mound quivering under each rise and fall of her shuddering breath. My fingers fumbled slightly as I placed the ear pieces into place, one on each side. The sound of her accelerated heart rate made my own heart leap in my chest.
No words were spoken as Tessa’s eyes held mine and mine held hers. We weren’t even touching, my fingers kept away from her warm skin by the cold metal of the stethoscope. But I think we both knew in that moment that we had never been closer…and at the same time that we were fated to grow closer still.
We had admitted our feelings to one another, after all these years. We overcame fear and doubt. I thought Tessa was the one who was afraid. But it had been me the whole time. I thought my time as an actor ended when I stepped off the studio lot each and every night. But it was obvious to me then that my day job continued when it came to my confidence, my carefree attitude, my attempts at being bold. And after all of these years, it was Tessa who made me brave, not the other way around.
Her eyes, soft in the dim light, watched me as I listened to her heart beating and beating faster still. She didn’t look away and I didn’t dare look away either.
I never wanted to look away.
“Well, doctor?” Jamie asked, laying a hand on my shoulder.
Cade’s hand moved to rest on the one opposite as he said, “What do you suppose the prognosis is?”
I smiled as I continued to look at Tessa.
A smile came to her lips. “It’s obvious, isn’t it?” Tessa answered the question. “I’ve taken a long, long fall, and there is no hope for me. Isn’t that right, doctor?”
Trying to keep my exhale somewhat steady, I nodded. “No hope at all, I’m afraid. Once you fall in love, there’s no going back.”
She grinned and reached forward to kiss me. As she pulled Cade and Jamie to the bed with a hand on each of their wrists, she urged me closer and I went eagerly.
My Tessa.
Our Tessa.
Tessa
Cade’s scrubs lay torn into fifteen pieces on the floor, half of Jamie’s fake glasses were next to our toes, half were sticking out from beneath my pillow, and Ellis’s stethoscope was now around my neck.
It was the only thing I had on.
Jamie’s soft breath rose and fell evenly across my stomach as he slept cuddled up close to me, big arms wrapped around my thigh. Behind him, Ellis sighed softly in his sleep, one hand tossed over his head and the other draped over Jamie’s naked body, fingers intertwined with mine. On the other side of me, Cade lay on his stomach, his perfect ass on full, delicious display. His hand was cupping my breast, and I could feel the warmth of his palm like one of those soothing hot stones he used in his therapeutic massages to help me destress.
It was a beautiful sight: all of them close to me.
As they slept, I stared at my phone, still and silent on top of my dresser. My fingers combed slowly through Cade’s hair as I remained there in bed, waiting.
Today was the day I was supposed to get a call about the audition. I was sure my men had planned this little play date to help distract me. I was grateful, of course. And we were going to play doctor again sometime very soon. But the truth was, I felt entirely at peace with whatever happened. I’d get the role or not. Either way, I was happy. Happy with my men, with my career, with my life.
No, not my life.
Our life.
The phone rang.
Epilogue
Three years later
Tessa
I glanced at the clock on the wall but found it hard to read as a hot tongue moved higher and higher up my thigh. “Jamie,” I moaned as he nipped at the sensitive skin just below my pussy. “We’re going to be late.”
From my spot standing next to the makeup laden counter in my room, I looked down to see Jamie’s head, covered by the skirt of my dress. I tried to push him away, but when his tongue flicked over my clit, my efforts grew noticeably weaker.
I sighed as I turned and leaned heavily against the wall. My eyes fluttered closed as Jamie’s nails dug into my thighs and his tongue made me wet enough to risk ruining my dress. I couldn’t find the will to care all that much as my hands reached for something to hold onto. I yelped when I accidentally knocked a frame off the wall and heard it clatter to the floor.
“What happened?” Cade, who like Jamie was also dressed in a tuxedo, ran into the room, his hand holding a law book thicker than the stack of takeout flyers I used to keep in that old apartment of mine.
And you know that was thick.
I grinned sheepishly and stared at the frame which held Jamie’s Platinum award, given to him as a gift by the first indie band he signed to his new label. Thankfully it hadn’t broken.
Jamie crawled out from under my dress and lifted his hands.
“I had nothing at all to do with this,” he said.
“No?” Cade’s eyes were dark as he looked from me to Jamie still on his knees.
I watched as he crossed the room, which was nearly three times the size of my old bedroom.
Cade set the law book on the bed.
“You know I have the bar exam coming up in a few weeks and I need all the time I can get to study,” he said, his voice low. “And now I have to come in here and clean up this mess of yours, Jamie.”
I gasped in surprise when Cade didn’t bend down to pick up the frame, but instead pulled back the high slit of my skirt and dragged his finger over my wet pussy. He grinned at me as he sucked his finger into his mouth.
“Such a mess,” he whispered seductively around his finger.
I couldn’t help but bite my lip, which I’d been in the process of applying red lipstick to when Jamie had distracted me. When Cade placed his hands on my hips, I leaped into his arms, wrapping my legs around him and not caring when I heard fabric rip. Jamie followed like a hungry animal as Cade walked me to the bed, which was covered in silk sheets instead of decades-old fleece.
Cade’s kisses against my neck made me shiver, and Jamie’s tongue found its way back to my pussy. Jackets were torn away, shoes kicked off, buttons popped open. Cade didn’t bother with the zipper of my dress as he pulled down the straps and sucked greedily at my exposed nipples. I was stroking Cade’s cock and rubbing my clit as Jamie tongue fucked me when Ellis appeared in the door, playing with the car keys in his hands.
“Hey, we all ready to go—”
I looked over at him through hooded eyes, body tingling as I squirmed on the sheets. “Oops. Are we going to be late?” I asked, practically out of breath because Jamie wasn’t even bothering to stop.
Ellis raised his wrist to check his watch. He sighed, and I moved to push Jamie’s head from between my legs, but then Ellis dropped his keys. They fell to the floor with a clang. I exhaled slowly as he pulled his tuxedo jacket seductively from his shoulders, eyes fixed on mine the whole time.
“Tess, we are going to be very, very late I fear,” he said as he made his way over to join us. “Still…the Oscars can wait.”
“Right,” Jamie growled against me. “Not like you and Tessa are up for awards or anything.”
I laughed out loud. Arched my hips deeper into Jamie’s mouth. Caressed Cade’s cheek. And kissed Ellis softly.
We’d miss the red carpet interviews, but we’d make it in time to attend the awards show. In the end, it wouldn’t matter if Ellis or I won the awards we’d been nominated for (though it would still be amaze balls!).
Because I’d already won the three best prizes of all.
And I was keeping them.
Forever and always.

Blurb:
When fantasy becomes reality X 3…
I’d been doing just fine as a New York food and wine critic, content with books, baking, and my boyfriend. But “content” wasn’t what I was after. Passion and excitement were more like it, but now that I’d gotten royally dumped and unceremoniously fired, “sucked” was the best word to describe my life.
So I moved. To Northern California. To claim my inheritance from my great-aunt: a run-down house in a small town that had yet to recognize the arrival of the twenty-first century.
The house was a wreck and there was no money for repairs. But then the Fix-It Guys arrived, three sexy as sin alpha males who offered their services to fix up the house…and teach me a thing or two about hammering, nailing, and drilling.
Suddenly I had all the passion and excitement I could handle.
Taylor, Dom, and Logan were all about giving me what I wanted, and I was more than happy to cater to their needs as well. But falling in love with three men? That never happens, at least not with a happily ever after, right?
Wrong.
Grab hold—Kayla’s path to love with three hot men will take you on a wild ride.
