Emily
E mily woke in between the two big, sexy men who had kept her tangled up in the sheets for most of the night. She stretched and took note of every ache and decided that she was lucky that she didn’t hurt worse. Neither Jackson nor Travis was gentle with her, and she loved every minute with them, even the spankings. That part was one of her favorites. She wasn’t sure how she was going to feel about Jackson putting his hands on her like that, but she loved it. He seemed to know exactly what she needed even demanding that she suck Travis’s dick which gave the distraction that she needed to get out of her head.
was never one to let go and give up her control to anyone, let alone a man. She had to make life-or-death decisions every day so letting Travis and Jackson take care of her was just what she needed, even if she didn’t know it.
Her pager sounded from her bag, and she sighed. She knew that sooner or later real life was going to catch up with her. She was just hoping to steal a little more time with the guys. wanted to make them breakfast and possibly spend the morning in bed with them, but she knew that as soon as she got up and checked her messages, she’d find that the hospital needed her to come in. Life went on around her and now, another baby was ready to be born, and it was her job to help make that happen.
She loved being a doctor and especially loved bringing babies into the world. There was something about being the first person to touch a new soul and handing the newborn off to the new mom was also a high. She would never get enough of helping to make new parents’ dreams come true by helping them build their families. longed for the day that she might be able to bring a little one of her own into the world, but she was jumping ahead of herself. First, she needed to find someone or even two someones to share her life, then she would be able to think about babies.
Her pager sounded again, and sighed, shimmying out of Travis’s big bed, trying not to wake the guys. She pulled open her bag to find the offensive buzzing pager and silenced it. Two mothers were on their way in, and one was high-risk, so she had no choice but to put on her clothes and do the walk of shame home. She needed a quick shower and some clean scrubs, then she’d be able to face the day, even with her lack of sleep.
loved being a part of a small practice, but she also wished she didn’t have to work so many weekends. As the low woman on the totem pole, she usually volunteered to work more than one weekend a month. It was fine with her, for the most part. She had only a handful of friends, most of them being connected to the hospital. And her dating life was non-existent so that was never really an issue. But now, with the guys, she was going to have to figure some things out.
That was if they wanted to see her again. A part of her panicked at the thought of Travis and Jackson not wanting her past one night. When she jumped into bed with them she didn’t think about what was going to happen in the future, focusing on both of them and what they wanted from her minute by minute. Her heart stuttered and she knew that not seeing them again, not being with them, felt wrong to her. didn’t have time to discuss plans with the guys right now. She chanced one last look back to where Travis and Jack were cuddled into bed together and longed to climb back between them. She gathered her belongings and hurried out of the bedroom, quietly shutting the door behind her. Right now, she needed to remember her responsibilities and head to the hospital. Later, when she was alone in her town home, she could think about what her next move would be.
spent seventeen exhausting hours on the floor and performed one emergency c-section. But there were two beautiful little boys to show for her efforts. She was tired, only able to grab a few hours of sleep while the new mothers labored, and she was starving. sat down in the employee breakroom trying to decide which she needed more—sleep or food when the door flew open. Travis’s big body almost blocked out Jackson’s as the two men entered the small room, seeming to fill the space with just their presence.
Travis smiled sheepishly at her almost as if he wasn’t sure how she would react to them being there. Honestly, she worried about what her coworkers might think of her being visited by two sexy men at once. The rumors were sure to fly around the hospital and the crazy thing was that they would all probably be true. She couldn’t help but smile back at them both especially when she saw what Jackson was carrying—food. She squealed and clapped like a child, making them both laugh.
“I take it you are hungry, Doctor.” Jackson’s eyes darted around the room as if making sure they were alone and luckily, they were.
“I’m starving. It’s been a long shift and I’m ready for food and sleep.” took the bag of food from Jackson and opened it, helping herself.
“Well, how about you let us feed you and take you back home with us?” Travis whispered. He seemed unsure of himself or was he feeling the same way that she was, unsure of where they all stood. “We can finish up the weekend the way that we started it.” Travis bobbed his eyebrows making both her and Jackson laugh.
sighed and sat back in her chair trying to figure out the best way to approach the topic but there would be no easy way. It was best that she just rip the band-aid off and let the pieces fall where they may.
“What happens after this weekend?” Jack and Travis shared a look, and she thought for sure that they were about to tell her that they only wanted her for a few days. She knew that was a possibility when she said yes to Jackson’s plan of the three of them falling into bed together. But now that she had spent one incredible night with the two of them, she wanted more. closed her eyes as if bracing herself for the disappointing words she was about to hear.
“Em, we are just figuring this out too, but Jackson and I were talking after you snuck out this morning and we’d like to see where this thing goes.” ’s eyes opened and she chanced a peep at Travis and then at Jackson. They were both smiling back at her.
“That is if you want to be with both of us,” Jackson amended. His smile faded and now it was the guy's turn to seem a little nervous. She didn’t want them for just a weekend, she wanted to try to see where this thing took them but a part of her was afraid.
“I want you both, Jackson,” she whispered. “I don’t want just a weekend; I want something more. I’m just worried about what will happen to the three of us once people around town, the police station, and even at the hospital here, start putting one plus two together and coming up with the three of us in bed. I know the crap that Regan and the guys get, what do you think the town will say about the three of us?” pushed her half-eaten food to the center of the table, suddenly not as hungry.
Travis scooted his chair closer to ’s and pulled her legs into his lap, “I don’t give a fuck what the people around town have to say, I’ve already been labeled. I just worry about you and Jack. If you two say that this is too much for you then I’ll respect your decision. I won’t like it very much but I’ll walk away. Maybe then the two of you can date and have a chance at a normal relationship and a whole lot less scrutiny from the judgmental townspeople.”
Jackson growled and slid his chair closer to them both, “No fucking way that is going to happen, Travis. It’s the three of us or nothing for me. You know that neither of us will be completely happy in a relationship without you, Travis.” found herself nodding her head in agreement with Jackson. She wouldn’t be happy in a relationship with just Jackson even though he was great. The three of them worked somehow and she was pretty sure that if one of the pieces was missing the whole puzzle wouldn’t fit together.
“Jack’s right, Travis. It’s all for one and one for all.” The guys both laughed and pulled her in for a quick kiss. “So, we’re the Three Musketeers now?” she asked. Travis pulled her into his arms, taking control, kissing, and licking his way into her mouth. She had to admit she missed them. She was only gone for less than a day, but she missed being around them even though they barely knew each other.
Jack cleared his throat, “Guys, we have an audience.” could feel her heart speed up knowing that one of her co-workers had caught her in the breakroom with two guys wasn’t part of the plan. She was relieved to find Mercy standing in the doorway as if she was afraid to enter the room. Her best friend’s mouth hung open and she was staring at the three of them as if she just walked in on something scandalous. The truth was, she had. Or at least she would have about five minutes later.
“Um, hi Mercy,” squeaked. Mercy gave a little wave but made no move to walk into the room.
“What’s going on here, Em?” Concern crossed Mercy’s face and felt bad. She never called her friend to tell her about hooking up with Jackson or Travis.
“Guys, this is my best friend, Mercy. She is a nurse here. Mercy this is Travis Sharp, he works out at Regan’s and this is Jackson Saint, a local police officer.” Both guys stood and poor Mercy’s eyes grew as big as saucers.
“Wow, girl. You’ve been busy since we last talked. How did you—no wait, don’t answer that.” Mercy slashed her hands through the air as if trying to erase an imaginary board. “How did this all happen?” suddenly felt a little shy about telling her friend how she met Jack, and he convinced her to jump into bed with Travis and him. She knew Mercy wouldn’t judge her, hell she’d probably do the same thing, given the chance.
“How about if we continue our conversation later, honey?” Jackson dipped to kiss her and then stood to leave. Travis did the same and was very aware of Mercy’s eyes on them.
“Can you get out of here soon?” Travis asked, clearing the trash off the table. nodded.
“Good. Meet us at my place at six. We want to take you out to dinner and then we can talk some more.” panicked. What if they went somewhere that they knew people? Was she ready to have anyone else find out about their relationship?
“Don’t look at him like that, honey. We’re taking you a couple of towns over; they have a gay bar called Manholes and the three of us will fit right in.” Mercy crossed the room to stand beside .
“Can I tag along? I’ve always wanted to go there but never knew anyone who would go with me.” Mercy was so excited that hoped the guys would be okay with her tagging along. Besides, it would be nice to have her friend with her. It had been ages since they went out together.
“Sure,” Jackson said, gifting them both with his sexy half-smile. Both women swooned and Travis groaned.
“Jackson, turn it off for just a minute,” Travis laughed. “It would be nice to have you along Mercy, as long as Em’s okay with that.” The guys watched her, and she nodded, deciding that having her friend along would be nice.
“All right, you ladies meet us at Travis’s apartment, and we’ll go out to have some fun.” Mercy sat down next to already chattering about what she was going to wear. tried to listen, but she couldn’t take her eyes off Travis and Jackson as they left the room. She didn’t want to get her hopes up about the three of them working out, but she had to admit that they already were.
“So, it seems that Regan had a bigger influence over you than I was hoping for,” Mercy smirked, watching the two guys leave the room. “How in the hell did this happen, Em? Don’t leave anything out, start at where you hung up the phone with me, just to make sure that you don’t forget any of the good parts.” Mercy pulled a chair out to sit down and wanted to groan. If she wanted any chance of sleep, she would have to quickly spill her guts. All wanted to do was go home, catch a few hours of sleep, and then get ready for a night out on the town with both of her guys.
“I’ll tell you everything, but we are going to make this a quick pow-wow. I’m beat and I need to get some shut eye before we meet the guys.” Mercy enthusiastically nodded her head causing to giggle. Her friend wasn’t about to let her off the hook for details. sighed and started her story with Jackson walking into the maternity ward and ending it with the three of them in bed that morning. She left a few details out, the private ones shared only between the three of them. Mercy seemed to be able to fill in the blanks though. She even fanned herself halfway through.
“You’ve been holding out on me, Em. Here I’ve been worried about you working yourself to death and not having any fun. You are having way more fun than any one girl should be allowed to have. I have to say, I’m jealous. But I’m also happy for you.” Mercy pulled in for a quick hug and released her. She stood to leave the room, stopping in the doorway. “Pick me up at 5:45 and wear something smokin’ hot.” Mercy winked at her and left the room. just shook her head at her outrageous friend. Mercy was right about one thing; she was having way more fun than any one girl should be allowed to have. She just hoped that it didn’t end anytime soon.
