Kassius, Teague, and Berenger are dealing with serious
vandalism on their property, but they aren’t waiting any longer to claim
Sephanie. They intend to draw the beautiful, curvy woman into their lives with
romance and all the sex she can handle while they discover who is behind the
trouble.
Sephanie has always wanted a menage and jumps at the chance
to date the three sexy men. Their first dates are everything she’s dreamed of
and leave her craving more. When vandalism and sabotage begins to focus on her,
Sephanie doesn’t understand it, but is determined to stay with her men.
The person behind the attacks won’t stop until he has what
he wants. And it seems like what he wants is Sephanie, Kassius, Teague and
Berenger are having none of it. Sephanie is their woman, and they’re going to
keep her safe.
Tagline: When attacks suddenly begin after she starts dating
three men, Sephanie must discover who’s behind it in order to claim her three
men.
Excerpt
Sephanie wiped down the counter as closing time approached.
She looked up when the door chime sounded. She saw three men entering the
store. She recognized them immediately. Kassius, Teague, and Berenger. Since
they were here, she’d guess Kassius’s father had a talk with them. She sighed
and rested her hand on the dark blue countertop.
Damn, this was going to be awkward. She bit her lip and
waited. They strode across the bakery. It was empty, so there was no one to
overhear. She didn’t want to hear them apologize.
She couldn’t stop herself from letting her gaze wander over
their bodies. All three men’s gazes were locked on her. Berenger’s black hair
hung around his face. He looked like he’d been more than a few days without a
shave. The dark hair at his jaw was longer than normal. He’d probably been
extremely busy at his skimmer repair shop.
She’d noticed if he was busy, he would let his beard go a
little wild. That untamed look sent a thrill through her. Muscled, strong, and
in shape from hard work, he led the way over to the counter. He didn’t look
happy, but he wasn’t obviously angry.
“Hello, Sephanie. I think we need to talk.” Berenger placed
his palms on the counter.
“This isn’t necessary.” She tried to forestall the coming
apology. “I know what you’re going to say.”
“I doubt you do.” Kassius eased up alongside Berenger and
braced an arm on the countertop.
His blue eyes sparkled with some emotion she couldn’t quite
read. He was solid, muscular, and strong. Berenger and Teague were also fit and
brawny. Kassius’s came from hard physical work in his groves and winery. In
contrast, the jut of his high cheekbones and his aquiline nose gave him a
refined look. His blond hair hung past his shoulders.
“I realize your father probably talked to you, but there’s
no need for this.” She shook her head.
She glanced at Teague when he stopped on the other side of
the counter. Teague epitomized the hard training and rough life of the PD. The
sharp angles of his jaw and the lean muscles of his body reminded her of a
warrior ready for battle. His black hair was short, but shaggy at the moment.
He’d probably been growing it out since the regulations for PD on planet were
much more relaxed than while they were in space. His light brown skin gleamed
and tempted her to reach out and touch him.
“Yes, there is a need for it. We didn’t know you heard our
conversation or you misunderstood what we were talking about that day.” Teague
leaned closer to the counter. “We didn’t mean it in the way you took it.”
She glared at him. “I misunderstood? What other way could
you mean it?”
“We didn’t like guarding you from possible danger, because
you might be hurt by it. Yes, we had better things to do than sitting there
keeping our distance. We wished we could take you out on dates and get closer
to you, but we had to wait. We couldn’t keep our objectivity and watch over you
if we became involved with you.” Teague reached over, cupped her chin, and
gently turned her head until she looked at him.
She swallowed hard. She wanted to believe them, maybe too
much. Without a doubt, she’d had feelings for them since she’d met them. She
wanted to take the chance on them.
Although their appearance drew her eyes, it didn’t keep her
attention. Their personalities and interactions together did that. She liked
the way they backed one another up and always seemed to be there for friends
and family. Sephanie came from a family with strong ties. That type of behavior
was an important part of what she wanted from a relationship.
“We intend to court you, Sephanie.” Kassius stretched across
the counter and clasped her hand. “Please come out from behind there.”
“You intend to court me? You don’t know me.” With a nod, she
let him draw her down the counter and out from behind it. She pursed her lips
to keep from smiling. She’d wanted to hear they were interested for a long
time.
They stood in front of her but didn’t crowd her. She
appreciated that. Even though she longed for physical closeness, they had some
things to clear out of the way first.
