finished. I conked out and just got up. The grilled chicken was wonderful. Thanks for the pink bow.” She laughed.
    Wade looked between them. “A pink bow?”
    “Long story,” she said.
    Heath pulled meat from the refrigerator. “I figured the grilled lunch needed a feminine touch.”
    “Ah.”
    Wade looked tired. He pulled out a beer and sat with her at the table while Heath prepared a meal.
    “I just ate, so only fix food for you and Wade.”
    Heath nodded.
    She turned to Wade. “How are the party preparations coming?”
    “Good. We ordered the fireworks along with one of those inflatable bounce houses for the kids to play in.”
    She bet the kids of his hired hands would love that. “How many people are you expecting?”
    “We’ve got twenty workers. If you count their spouses and kids, I’m betting close to eighty.”
    “That’s a big affair.”
    Heath turned around and waved a pancake turner. “That’s why I wanted it catered. I don’t mind doing the grilling, but I’d suck at potato salad.”
    That was very nice of them to have a party for their workers. When she was growing up, her mom used to throw parties like that, too.
    In no time, Heath had grilled two steaks and some vegetables. He placed the food on two plates. “Want to eat in the living room and watch a movie?”
    Wade looked at her. “You okay with that?”
    “Sure.”
    They went into the living room. The most comfortable seat was the sofa, so she sat on one end and Wade took the other. Heath sat across from them on the overstuffed chair.
    Wade handed her the remote. “Your house. You get to choose the movie.”
    She laughed. “I’m not that demanding, am I?”
    Their brows rose. That wasn’t good. Not that she wanted these men, but she didn’t want to come off as a woman who had an impenetrable wall built around her.
    “Absolutely not,” Heath said with a damn smile on his face.
    Possibly to test them, she found a romantic comedy. “This okay with you boys?”
    They both shrugged.
    She honestly didn’t remember much of the movie for she kept dozing off. The sound of the television clicked off and a strong pair of arms lifted her. She cracked open an eye. Wade was carrying her into the bedroom. Being in his arms was comforting, but a bit disconcerting. That image of him making love with her against a wall flashed in her eyes, but she was too tired to resist.
    He placed her on the bed. “We need to take off your boots and get you out of some of your clothes.”
    She would wake up in a deep sweat if she slept all night in these clothes. “Okay.”
    He clicked on the light then tugged off her boots and socks. “You need help with the pants?”
    She’d been through this routine before. “Yes.” Her underpants were as covering as a bathing suit bottom so it wasn’t like he’d really be seeing anything. Wade wouldn’t make a move unless she gave him the okay.
    He unhooked her belt then unbuttoned and unzipped her pants, never once touching her skin. He was all business.
    “Lift your butt.”
    She did and he pulled the pants over her hips. Fortunately, as soon as she felt her panties slip, she grabbed hold. With his eyes averted, he pulled off her pants. She sat up, ready to get rid of the top. “Can you go into my top drawer and pull out a T-shirt?” She liked wearing something simple to bed.
    “Will any one do?”
    “Not too thin.”
    She caught the slight upturn to his lips. He pulled out one that would cover her quite well.
    “This good?”
    “Sure.” He handed the top to her. “Now close your eyes.”
    “Sugar, looking doesn’t hurt anyone.”
    She laughed. “You think I’m going to get naked in front of you?”
    He sat on the edge of the bed. “I don’t know what you think of me and Heath, but you have my word that as long as you’re incapacitated, we won’t touch you.”
    If what he said was the truth, her recovery would go a lot smoother. That way, they could help her dress and wash without all this
