standing behind him naked, pressing her breasts against his clothed back. He let out a breath and laid
his arms over hers and intertwined their fingers.
Caleb came up behind them. He, too, was now fully dressed and pressed himself against her body.
Kate shivered.
 Baby, are you horny again? Bran asked.
 I can t help it! You two are so hot I should just stop wearing panties altogether. I m always
soaked around you two.
They both whimpered. She dipped her hand and grazed Bran s bulge as she wiggled her ass
against Caleb. She then stepped away from them to pull on her clothes. Both men were swallowing
hard and adjusting their jeans.
 That wasn t nice, Caleb said.
 Neither was squeezing me between the two of you. Now let s go get lunch! I m freaking starving.
She turned and unlocked the door. She opened it before turning around with an impish smile. She
cocked her arm back and threw a tiny ball of lace at Bran, which hit him in the face before falling
open on the desk.
 Can t cream my panties if I m not wearing any! She stuck her tongue out at them and ran giggling
to the front door.
Caleb looked at Bran as they both stood stock-still.
 Toys? Caleb asked casually.
 Under the bed and most untried, Bran said, picking up the panties and inhaling her scent.
Caleb took the lace from Bran and tucked it into his pocket.
 You know she s doing this so she will get punished, Bran said as they made their way to the car.
 Yes, but what we have to do is come up with a punishment she wasn t planning on, something that
pushes her limits and arouses her at the same time.
 I can t wait to get even, Bran said.
 Me either, Caleb said and they headed outside.
Chapter 9
 Let s just say that the man has a new appreciation for cake. Rebecca waggled her eyebrows.
Kate and Ashby laughed.
 Are you kidding? I have a new appreciation for cake. That coconut dream cake was divine. I
want to incorporate something like that into my ice cream, Ashby said, wiggling around in
excitement.
 I have some saved for you at the house. I wasn t sure if ya ll would make it to town today. It
really worked in getting more sexcapades. That man cannot resist my cake. Rebecca sipped from a
travel mug.
Kate pointed to it.  What s that?
 It s that amazing ginger-mint tea that Caleb made me. It is working wonders at keeping the nausea
at bay. He needs to show Aleks how to make it. I can never get the quantities right. Rebecca took
another sip.
Kate dug into her bacon barbecue burger and sighed happily. Her men had been keeping her so
busy that she felt as though she was losing weight from all the exertion.
 Where s Nic? Kate asked, looking around.
 He had to do some stuff at The Grind, but he said he would be over later, Rebecca said.
Kate nodded and took another huge bite.
 Whoa there, Cujo, what did that burger do to you? Rian asked as he and Damian brought the
boys over.
 Those men of mine are using up all my energy. How are the boys doing today? Kate asked,
picking at her fries.
 Lucas and Landon absolutely scandalized Mr. Gilberton at Bobbles and Things. I swear that
cranky old bastard has no right running a toy and candy store, Rian said, taking a sip of soda.
 What did they do? Kate asked, looking at the boys, who were enraptured with what looked like
their new stuffed toy lions.
 Gilberton was giving us shit, per usual, about being  fags and  does that child s mother know
you re queer? When all of a sudden Lucas looked him right in the eye and released one of the most
impressive growls I have heard. Gilberton jumped back, surprised, then disappeared into the back.
The girl at the counter was trying her hardest not to laugh. Damian and I didn t try. Just when
Gilberton was coming back out of his office, Landon threw his head back and howled. Back into the
office, the old bastard went. I swear I hurt something laughing so hard. Rian looked like a proud
parent.
Kate scooped Lucas up and kissed him all over his face. Landon started whimpering so she
reached down and picked him up with her right arm and balanced the boys on either hip. They
snuggled down against her neck and cooed nonsensical babblings. She smiled and hugged them close.
She sat down and kept them in her lap.
 What were you doing back at Bobbles and Things? Weren t you there yesterday? Kate asked.
Rian nodded.  I went there yesterday to see if my order for Cadbury chocolate had come in. He
sometimes  conveniently forgets to call and let me know it s waiting for me. He called today to let
me know it was in, the delivery evidently came earlier this week, just  misplaced my order yesterday
and couldn t find it. The only reason he called me back was probably to avoid me stopping in with
the boys again. You know how much he hates children. He can only complain so much about us being
gay. Heaven knows the Pride probably buys more than half his stock. He can t afford to lose us as
customers.
 It s a good look on you, Katie, Damian said, grinning at the way Kate kept kissing the tops of the
boys little heads.
 I could get used to this, especially in the winter. These guys are like personal space heaters. She
nuzzled their hair. Kate looked down at her burger and frowned, realizing she couldn t eat with both
arms full.
 Give  em here so you can eat, Rian said laughing. She smiled gratefully and then eased each boy
into his babysitter s arms.
 You guys are so amazing for helping us with them. It s hard enough being newly mated, much less
trying to find the hyenas and the traitor in the pack. I couldn t imagine having to take care of these
guys on top of that. They are a full-time job all by themselves. She picked up her burger.
 They are actually easy to watch despite there being two of them. They aren t fussy at all, Rian
said as Lucas yawned.
 Okay, boys, nap time, he said, standing up.
 We re taking the boys back to the house for their afternoon nap, Rian said.
Kate stood and kissed each boy.  Thanks again, Ri. She kissed Rian on the cheek, too, and he
smiled. She walked over and kissed Damian on the cheek.
Damian and Rian then walked over to where Bran and Caleb were talking to Ma, Connor, and
Aleks, letting them say their goodbyes as well.
Kate had just taken another bite out of her burger when the diner door opened. She was surprised
to see Cecelia Raymond walk in. She, as usual, looked elegant and well put together. She radiated a
natural beauty and grace. Kate wanted to hate her, considering who her parents were, but found she
couldn t. Cecelia was sweet, kind, and soft-spoken. Everything her own mother had wanted her to be.
When Cecelia scanned the diner, Kate half expected her to head toward Bran, but instead, she
started heading her way. Rebecca and Ashby scooted closer to Kate and Kate smiled. They were
definitely getting great Christmas gifts this year. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
