“I’ll get it, honey, sit down,” Steve said and got her some water. He brought it to the table and took the seat next to her as she studied him intently. “What?”
“I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me?” she asked gently, placing her hand over his where he rested it on the tabletop.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Selina,” he answered coolly.
The tone in his voice cut into her heart. She schooled her features to hide her disappointment, but she couldn’t really expect him to trust her when she had been reticent herself. She hadn’t told them about her ex until the truth came out with the police.
Thinking about Joe brought back all his snide remarks about her, and she said, “I don’t know why you and Gary want me in a relationship with the both of you. I don’t see that I have much to offer. I’m not beautiful with my average looks. My hair is a drab brown, my eyes are mismatched, and my body is only passable. I’ve only ever had one lover, and that was years ago, before I met Joe. Even he said I was nothing to look at and that I was frigid. So why do you want me to become involved with you and Gary?”
“God, Selina. How can you not know how gorgeous you are? Your hair and eyes are stunning, sugar. I love the way your long, glossy hair tumbles down your back in waves, and you have such beautiful, expressive eyes. They change to a deep, misty green and misty green and deep brown when you’re aroused, and I could just drown in them. And your body, my God, you are such a sexy little thing. You have curves in all the right places and draw male eyes whenever you walk into a room. As to being frigid, how can you even believe that after what we shared with you tonight?
“You have more love and compassion in your little finger than most women have in their whole bodies. Gary’s already in love with you, honey.”
Selina wiped away the tears which had leaked from her eyes at his sentiments and felt herself fall more in love with the broken man in front of her. She could see sadness and shadows lurking in the depths of his eyes and wanted to get hold of whoever had hurt him and tear them apart.
“What about you? What do you feel?” she asked with a sniff.
Steve reached over and pulled her into his arms. As he held her tight against his chest, she wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.
“I don’t know what love is, Selina. I care for Gary more than I have ever cared for another human being. Whether that is love or not, I honestly don’t know. I suppose it is, but I’ve had things done to me, sugar, that have left me less than half a man, and I don’t know if I’ll ever be whole again. I care for you and want you to stay in this relationship with us, but if you don’t think you can handle it, then you had better walk away from it quickly. The longer you stay, the harder it will be for Gary if you decide to leave.”
“I’m worried that I’m putting you and Gary in the line of fire. The last thing I want is for either of you to get hurt. Do you think we should have started this now? I couldn’t live with my conscience if anything happened to you or Gary. I love you, Steve. I love you both so much, I can’t bear the thought of you getting hurt,” she finished on a sob.
“Aww, don’t cry, honey. Everything will work out, you’ll see. And if you love us, then yes, this was a good time to start our relationship. We’ll keep you safe, Selina. One of us will be by your side at all times.
“You have given me the greatest gift anyone could give, and I will try not to hurt you. I can’t promise I won’t, because deep down I’m a cold, hard bastard, but I will do my best to cherish your heart and not cause you any emotional pain,” Steve said, and she could hear the rasp in his voice as he tried to contain his emotions.
She sighed and snuggled into him and closed her eyes contentedly. He hadn’t fully opened up to her yet, but he had taken a step in the right direction. Hopefully as their relationship developed he would come to trust her and would talk about what he thought had made him less than a man. As far as she was concerned, that was so far from the truth it was laughable.

Gary listened and watched the two people he loved most in the world and felt his heart fill with love for them. Watching Steve with Selina as he cuddled her and spoke to her quietly from his heart made him realize that he had done the right thing by them and himself. He knew deep down Steve was a fun-loving guy and could be again if he would only let go of the past. His lover had always kept part of himself closed off from him, and even though he knew Steve loved him, he also knew he would never hear those words from his lips until Steve could purge the bitterness still locked up tight inside. As he got to know Selina over the last month, he realized that she was the only woman who could break through the hard-edged façade his lover portrayed and set him free. The emotion in Steve’s eyes was visible to Gary as he gazed down at Selina with undisguised tenderness. He knew in that moment that everything was going to work out all right.
Quietly Gary crept back down the hall and up the stairs to the bedroom and slipped back into bed. Now, all they had to do was keep her safe and well. He planned to talk to Steve in the morning about hiring a bodyguard for her just in case, and maybe a private detective would be able to find Joe before he found her and took her from them. He had a gut feeling that Joe was pure evil, and that caused dread to settle into his gut. They were going to have to fight to keep their woman safe, and he vowed that he would give his life.

Steve glanced down at Selina when her breathing evened out and deepened. She felt so right in his arms, and he wanted to keep holding her even though he knew she would be more comfortable in bed. He picked up the glass of water, still untouched on the dining table, and took a sip. She couldn’t have been thirsty at all, and he wondered if he had disturbed her sleep when he had left the bed. Was she so attuned to him already that she felt when he was anxious and unsettled? He thought about how he would feel if she decided that she couldn’t stay with him and Gary or if her ex got to her and took her from them, and he felt pain stab into his heart.
Fuck. What am I doing?
First Gary wormed his way into his heart, and now a little slip of a woman had done the same thing. He didn’t know if what he felt for her was love, but the thought of her not being by his side ripped him to shreds. He shouldn’t be doing this. He knew he wasn’t worthy of anyone’s love. His stepfather taught him that. He yearned so badly to let go of the pain and bitterness inside, but Steve had been locked up so tight for so long he didn’t know how to. The only thing he did know was that he would protect Selina with his last breath if necessary.
Moving carefully, so he didn’t wake her, Steve rose to his feet with Selina cradled against his chest. Using his elbow, he flicked the light switch off and walked up the stairs toward the bedroom. He gently laid her down on the bed in the middle and watched as she sighed and moved up closer to Gary. Then Steve climbed in beside her. She settled close to Gary with her head on his lover’s shoulder and shifted until one of her arms was over his hips and thighs.
Steve tried to stay on his side of the bed, giving them room to move, but he found himself shifting closer until his front was aligned with her back. He sighed contentedly and wrapped an arm around her waist. When his body was touching hers from chest to shins, he closed his eyes and slept.
* * * *
He watched as the lights in the house went off and wondered if she was fucking them. The rage built up inside him until he felt ready to explode. How could she let them touch her when he hadn’t had the chance? That fucking slut was supposed to be his. How dare she brush him off and then put out a restraining order on him. He would make sure she paid for all the trouble she had caused him. Because of her he had been fired from his job and lost most of his friends. She was to blame for everything that had happened to him, and he would make sure she suffered before he was finished with her. He was going to fuck her until she couldn’t walk, and then he would kill her.
He could just imagine her screaming and begging him to fuck her while he carved her up. He loved the scent of blood and sex mixed together. He groaned with sexual frustration as his hard dick pulsed in his pants. Breathing heavily, he undid the button and zipper on his jeans and released his cock from his briefs. Grasping the head, he squeezed, groaning as pre-cum bubbled to the surface. Moving his hand farther down his hard shaft and sliding his fist up and down, he imagined what he would do to Selina when he got her in his clutches.
He would tie her down spread eagle, and he would shove his cock so far up her cunt, she would feel him in her throat. He imagined his knife sliding into and through her flesh, like hot metal through butter, and threw his head back against the headrest on his car seat. He imagined the scent of blood and musky sex permeated the air, and his balls drew up tight to his body. He moaned as he imagined her wet pussy clasping around him in a tight grip and gasped with excitement when he thought about how it would feel to shove his cock up her ass. His imagination had her there beneath him, and he saw her face contort with painful ecstasy. Wrapping a hand around her throat as his hips pumped furiously, forcing her body to accept his cock
,
and his other hand worked the knife, he laughed a deep guttural sound then threw his head back and howled as he climaxed. Spurt after spurt of semen erupted from his cock, and he shook with the brutal pleasure of his release.
She was the one woman meant to be by his side, and he wasn’t going to let anyone take her away from him. He would kill them, too, if he had to.
“Ooh,” Selina moaned as hands brushed against her pussy and a hot mouth closed around a nipple and sucked. A finger dipped into her cunt and then slid up to her clit and began to massage, spreading waves of pleasure throughout her womb and loins. Feeling herself rising to the surface of consciousness, she stubbornly clung to the state between sleep and waking as her dream swept her away on a tantalizing ocean of desire.
Jolting with pleasure as a tongue and fingers came into play on her pussy, she arched her hips up to get more of the delicious sensations and purred when the mouth at her breast withdrew to be placed over her mouth. Opening up to the questing tongue, she moaned as she rubbed hers against the one invading her mouth. The fingers and lips on her pussy lifted away, and a deep voice penetrated her dreamlike state.
“Open your eyes, baby. We know you’re awake.”
Lifting heavy eyelids, she looked down her body and connected with Gary’s hot, green-eyed stare where he lay between her spread thighs and then turned her head to the side to meet Steve’s flaming blue gaze. The shirt she had been wearing was wide open, giving them access to her nakedness, and they smiled at her when she saw their bare bodies and hard, bobbing cocks.
“Hey, baby, how did you sleep?” asked Gary.
“Good,” she answered and stretched, waking her muscles as well as trying to get her mind to function.
“We want to love you, Selina. Will you let us?” Lightly touching her clit with the pad of his finger, he waited for an answer to his question.
“Yes. Please make love with me.” She reached over, gripping Steve’s cock with her hand.
Steve gently clasped her wrist and lifted her hand away from his shaft and maneuvered it up above her head. Reaching over for her other hand, he clasped both her wrists in one of his large hands and held her still.
“Ah-ah, honey. You don’t get to control things in the bedroom. That’s our job,” Steve berated lightly and leaned down to place a gentle kiss on her lips. “Gary’s going to fuck your pussy, and I’m going to fuck his ass. Are you okay with that, sugar?”
“God, yes,” she replied and then whimpered when Gary’s tongue ran through her wet folds.
“I think our baby likes that idea. She just creamed herself something fierce,” Gary stated breathlessly in a deep, rumbling voice.
Selina arched her hips and then her chest, begging them without words to touch her. She couldn’t wait to be with these two men again. Knowing she had made love with them the previous evening didn’t matter. Turned on beyond reason to have them touch her and see them making love as well, her arousal went from simmering embers to a full conflagration of flames in seconds.
Moaning again, she flexed her hips when Gary’s tongue flicked her clit as he ran the palms of his hands up the insides of her thighs. He chuckled against her pussy, sending vibrations of pleasure through her sex, and she moaned when he pushed two fingers into her wet vagina.
When Steve clasped her chin between thumb and finger, she watched as his lips got closer to her and then lowered her lids as they connected. She mewled and opened to him, permitting entry when his tongue ran over her lips, and tangled her tongue with his. He growled, sucked her tongue into his mouth, and cupped a breast, rubbing his thumb across the now-turgid peak. Shards of electricity zinged down her body and centered in her pussy, making her internal walls clench, and she felt a gush of moisture leak out.
She sobbed with bliss and thrust up her pelvis. Gary continued to slide his fingers in and out of her vagina as he laved her clitoris. Her pussy rippled around his digits, and she felt liquid warmth pooling low in her abdomen and knew she was close to climax. She keened with frustration when both Gary and Steve removed their hands and mouths from her body.
