Bewitched for Pleasure by Lacey Thorn Read Free Book Online Page B

returned from a run, Scott and Travis were both back and working in the backyard. They were hauling downed tree limbs and stuff in from the woods to chop for firewood. Scott had his shirt off, and his muscles rippled as he wielded the axe. But other than a soft kiss to her lips, they’d continued working. Even worse, Kyle was out of the shower and dressed to join them before she’d pulled herself away, leaving her on her own.
    She could have gone out to help, but they all knew how much she hated it—to the point she often bought it instead of making use of what Mother Nature provided in her backyard. They’d read right through that one. Plus, she really did need the firewood for when this Indian summer left and they were right back to normal, cool October temperatures. So instead, she decided to tackle some indoor cleaning then make lunch for the guys before she hit the shower.
    They were still outside when she finished up, though. Their lunch plates had been washed and sat in the draining board to dry. The way they kept cleaning up after themselves left her feeling edgy and a little disconcerted. Did this mean they were going back to the way things had been? Had nothing really changed after the amazing sex they’d had last night? Crap! She hated not having a clue what the hell was going on. With that in mind, she charged outside and stood and glared at them while they worked. One by one they noticed and stopped. Scott was the first to say anything.
    “What’s wrong?” he asked, wiping his forearm across his brow to get the sweat out of his eyes.
    “Brenna?” Kyle prompted when she just kept staring.
    “How much longer will you guys be working?” she asked.
    “Have plans?” Travis asked, but all three of them gave her an intensely possessive look.
    “I thought I might head into town and run some errands,” she said. “I didn’t know if you’d be here when I got back.”
    “Do you want us to leave?” Kyle said
    “Fuck that,” Scott said, dropping the axe and crossing to her. “I said last night I wasn’t into the one-night stand thing, and you agreed. We want to spend tonight with you.”
    “Every night,” Travis amended, and both Kyle and Scott nodded in agreement.
    “I suggest coming to our place,” Scott said. “Travis and I live there, and Kyle might as well with all the time as he spends there. There’s more room than here, yet still affords the privacy you seem to enjoy, though I wouldn’t suggest dancing naked in the yard unless you’re ready for the consequences.”
    “Consequences?” she asked.
    “We’ve tasted you now,” Travis answered. “No way we’ll hold back again.”
    “You’ll find yourself with three naked men working to persuade you to do more than dance,” Kyle added.
    “Look,” Travis finally said, stepping forward. “Don’t misread our intentions today. Last night was incredible.”
    “But?” she prompted.
    “No buts,” Kyle said. “Except for that amazing one of yours. We just wanted to give you some time.”
    “Time for what?” she asked.
    “Time to be ready to go again,” Scott grunted. “Jesus, you think I’m wielding this axe just to chop wood? I’m doing it to try and burn off some of the sexual need riding me hard. Once wasn’t enough. Hell, I’m thinking a million years wouldn’t be enough time to sate myself with you.”
    “Really?” She gazed at them, feeling a grin tug at her lips.
    “Don’t you get it yet?” Travis asked her. “We’ve wanted a relationship with you for a long time. Maybe none of us planned on this one, but we’re not walking away from it. I don’t care what anyone thinks, but you. Plus, it makes me happy to know if I have to go out of town for something, one of both of my best friends are going to be around to watch over you and keep you warm at night.”
    “How—”
    “Will this work?” Kyle asked, and she nodded. “We’ll just have to take it day by day. I’m not one to borrow trouble or pester
