Chapter Seventeen
Madelyn swallowed nervously as the two men stood in front of her, staring at her and not smiling. She glanced down. She put on a long feminine skirt with a short-sleeved blouse and sandals on her feet. Now, she was debating if she’d chosen the wrong outfit. “Is this okay?”
Trey was the first to talk. He held out his hand. “It’s perfect, and you’re beautiful.”
She relaxed, took his hand, and let them lead her down the hall. They went a different way than she’d ever been. “Where are we going?”
“Our family room,” Trey said.
“It’s private and just for family,” Garrett told her.
Madelyn nodded but could feel her anxiety and desire start to rise. Would they want to have sex? Was she ready for it?
Trey led her through a door, and Garrett closed it behind them.
She looked around at the cozy room. It was large. One end had a TV and sectional that looked inviting. The other end held a pool table and other games. In the middle was a bar that was long enough for four stools. The colors were earth-toned and appealing.
“This is great.”
Garrett nodded. “This room is our savior. At night, when we’re exhausted, we come in here and chill and eat dinner.”
She nodded in understanding.
“We have our meals over here,” Trey said as he stood by the sofa.
She walked over to see a long sofa table in front of the seating. They would be able to relax, watch TV, and eat at the same time.
Garrett grinned. “Watch this.” He did something under the table, and the top rose a foot and could be adjusted closer to them.
She’d seen this kind of table before, but in magazines or commercials. It would make eating easier. She grinned. “This is great, you guys.”
Trey moved her to the center so she’d have a man on each side of her. She had no idea if she’d be able to eat because her hands were shaking, but it smelled wonderful.
After she got comfortable, Garrett lifted the metal lid off her plate. The sight of roast beef, potatoes, and beans made her mouth water. In front of them were a basket of rolls, glasses of ice water, and bowls of delicious pudding.
“Can I get you something to drink, Baby?” Trey asked before he sat down.
She shook her head. “No. The water is fine. Thank you.”
The men turned on the news and watched while they ate. It was comfortable and helped to settle her nerves. Although it looked like they were concentrating on the TV, she could tell they both had their attention on her, but otherwise, they let her eat without talking.
When she was finished, she pushed her plate away. “God, I ate too much.”
The men grinned.
“I love Pearl’s roasts,” Trey said as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.
Garrett set down his beer and relaxed back against the cushion. “Do you want to save the dessert for later?”
Madelyn nodded and smiled. “I don’t have any room for it in my stomach right now.”
He nodded and pulled her back to rest against the cushion beside him, but he kept his arm on the back of the sofa.
Trey finished his meal before becoming comfortable beside her and sipping his bottle of beer. She jumped when his hand landed on her thigh. The heat from his skin seeped through her skirt, branding her. She hadn’t realized she’d been a bit chilled until she was between the two men, and the warmth from their bodies made her feel snug.
It didn’t take long for the temperature to rise as the desire built between them. She waited for one of them to talk or make a move because she had no idea what to do.
“We want to know if you feel anything for us?” Trey asked her.
She swallowed nervously and nodded. “Yes.”
“Garrett and I want you to consider staying here and becoming a part of our family.”
Garrett got her attention before she could comprehend what Trey had just asked.
“We want to have a relationship with you.”
“A … a sexual one?” she asked.
Garrett nodded. “Yes. It will be like any other relationship, except you have two men instead of one. We’ll all live together here until we’re ready to retire. When we decide, our nephew will take over for the family.”
“I don’t know if I could handle one of you, much less both. You have to consider that my late husband and I didn’t have a normal marriage. We weren’t even friends, and he didn’t like spending time with us, especially me. I think he spent more time with his mother in her wing of the house than us.”
She could tell that surprised the men, but they needed to know how inexperienced she was. Not just with sex but with having a normal relationship.
“That’s okay, Baby. We’ll take everything slow,” Trey said.
“Where would I stay?”
Trey squeezed her thigh. “In our room with us.”
“Aren’t we going a little fast?” she asked.
Garrett shook his head. “No. We want you to get to know us well before your vacation is finished.”
“When would I have to move in with you?”
“I’d say tonight,” Garrett said.
Trey cleared his throat and scowled at his brother. “But we’ll give you time if you need it.”
Madelyn looked at one and then the other. God, what should she do? The thought of being with them all the time both thrilled and terrified her. What if she disappointed them?
“Is there any way we can learn more about each other without living together right now?” she asked.
Trey nodded, but Garrett scowled. Trey must have given him a look over her head because Garrett settled down.
“We can do whatever makes you comfortable. Can we be in a relationship right now even if you don’t want to live together?” Trey asked.
“Yes. I might make a lot of mistakes,” she told them.
Trey nodded. “We all will. It’s part of getting to know each other. All we need to do is talk it over. We can fix anything if we know what we’re up against.”
She exhaled. “Then yes. I’d like a relationship with you both. Let’s put off me moving right now.”
“That’s fine,” Garrett said, but it sounded more like a growl.
She smiled at him. “Thank you for being so understanding.” Although she kept the sarcasm out of her tone, there was still a playful edge to it.
His eyes narrowed. “Are you poking at me, Baby?”
She tapped her chest with her fingertips. “Who, me?”
Garrett nodded.
Trey snickered behind her, which made it even harder to keep from laughing.
Garrett looked at his brother. “Dude, am I wrong, or is our woman being sassy?”
Trey wiped his mouth. “Oh, well, um…”
“Say it,” Garrett barked.
“Yes. I think she might be a bit feisty at the moment,” Trey said.
Garrett cupped the side of her face. “Do you know what we’ll do to our feisty woman?”
She shook her head.
“We will love her until she passes out.”
Her eyes widened. “Now, wait a minute.”
Garrett stood, lifted her, and planted her over his shoulder before walking from the room.
“Where are you taking me?” She looked up to see Trey following behind them and the smile on his face made some of her anxiety disappear.
She smacked Garrett’s ass. “Answer me.”
Garrett froze. “Woman, did you just hit my butt?”
“Maybe.”
He growled, and then his hand came down on her ass, making her squirm. He started to walk again.
“Yo, brother, did you see that?” Garrett asked.
“I did.”
“Did you also hear her demand?”
Trey chuckled. “Yes, I did.”
Garrett walked into a huge bedroom. She could barely see anything because her hair was in the way, but she caught sight of a humungous bed.
A scream erupted from her throat when Garrett tossed her on the bed. She didn’t have any time to move or catch her breath before both men were on either side of her with their hands skimming over her body.
One of them started to tickle her, which made her scream again. “Stop! I hate being tickled,” she said and laughed.
“This is what happens to Sassy Pants,” Garrett said.
She stuck her lower lip out. “Really?”
Trey chuckled when Garrett rolled his eyes.
“I’m not falling for it, Baby,” Garrett said.
Trey snorted. “You already have, Bro.”
Trey started to kiss her before she said another word. One kiss led to another and then another, until it seemed like minutes went by as she drowned in his love.
She felt hands pull off her sandals and then run up her legs, dragging her skirt with her.
“Fuck me,” Garrett cursed.
Trey lifted his head. “What?”
“Look at her panties.”
Trey groaned.
Madelyn lifted her head to see what got their attention. “They’re just white panties.”
“Yeah,” Garrett growled. “But the lace is sexy as hell, and the wet spot growing on them tells us we’re doing something right.”
It felt like her face was on fire as she struggled to pull her legs together.
“Oh, no, Baby. We want every drop of your passion. This is nothing compared to what we’re going to do to you.”
She stared at Garrett, not sure if she should be nervous or not.
Trey cupped her face and turned it toward him. “Everything we are going to do with you will give you pleasure. You trust us never to hurt you, don’t you?”
She nodded. She did. She knew in her soul that the two men were going to treat her like a princess.
