destination would have been as a guest of my cousin Adam.”
“Let me guess,” Dev said. “He would be the sheriff?”
“He would. Actually, I’m surprised he hasn’t been by to visit the two of you already.”
Drew leaned over and kissed her. “We only just began our campaign today. Give it time.” Then he rolled off the bed and reached for her.
Julia shrieked when he scooped her into his arms. “Let’s shower,” he said.
“Ooh, water sports,” Julia teased.
“In this hedonistic bathroom?” Dev said. “You bet your very fine ass there are going to be water sports.”

Drew had very rarely allowed himself to hope for things in life. One of his earliest lessons was that mostly, you didn’t get what you wanted no matter how badly you wished for it. Since each disappointment had devastated him, he’d learned to stop wishing.
At the moment, however, he figured all those disappointments, from the time he’d been sent to his first foster home, to now, had been worth it. They had guaranteed his having the one thing he wanted more than anything in his life to date.
He’d wanted Julia Benedict with a craving that had frightened him just a little. More, he’d wanted—no, needed —her to accept both him and his best friend as her lovers.
“I like my showers hot,” Julia warned.
He set her down gently outside the glass-enclosed stall and placed a kiss on her nose. “What a coincidence. That’s how I like my woman. Hot.”
He set the water temperature, then picked her up and carried her in. Looking over his shoulder, he watched as Dev came into the bathroom, a tube of lube in his hand.
He and his brother—for that is how he’d thought of Devon Wakefield for years, now—apparently were of the same mind.
He turned Julia around so that the water didn’t hit her face, and eased her away from the nozzle to make room for Devon.
Julia’s sigh as the hot water rained down on her made him smile.
“We didn’t hurt you, did we, honey?”
“Of course not.”
“There’s no ‘of course not’ about it, Julia. Dev and I are both big men.”
“Brag, brag, brag.” The words came out against his chest. He felt her smile, and then she straightened, insistent, he thought, on standing on her own two feet.
“I wasn’t talking just about our cock size. We’re both a lot bigger and stronger than you. We have to be careful not to hurt you.”
Julia frowned, then went up on her toes and cupped his face in her hands. “Drew, there’s not a lot I know in life, but I do know one thing. You and Dev would never hurt me.”
“Certainly not on purpose.” Drew could see the conversation was upsetting her, and that was the very last thing he wanted.
“Give me your arms, baby doll.” Dev reached from behind and took Julia’s arms in his hands, stretching her up just a little. Drew grabbed the soap and worked a good lather into his hands.
“You’re so beautiful to me,” he said. He covered her breasts with lather, smoothing it back and forth over her nipples, and then spreading the soap down, over her abdomen then around her hips to her ass.
He brought his hands back around to her front. Leaning down, he spread foam down her legs before he brought both hands back up to caress over her pussy.
“Mm, that feels good.” Julia had closed her eyes, nearly purring, and looking very much like the kitten he likened her to.
“Enjoy, Julia, because I sure am.” She felt like every definition of heaven he’d ever come up with, right there under his hands.
“Mm, let’s see how Julia under foam feels,” Dev said. He let loose of Julia’s arms and kissed her ear. Then he lathered his hands and ran them down her back, and over her ass. When Julia jerked, Drew met Dev’s gaze. The sparkle in his eyes told him he’d just stroked over her anus. “Wonderful, that’s how you feel,” he said.
“Not fair. I want to play, too.”
Drew grinned at the pout in her voice. “Who’s stopping
