Mrs. Duke lifted her chin, but remained unflappable. “Call us what you want, but everyone in this place knows your true measure now, and I’m sure Dr. Lamont will be seeing quite a bit more business after this. No one wants to get their teeth cleaned by an asshole.”
Cheers broke out around the room. I had to wonder if Mrs. Duke had ever used a bad word before. She was… incredible, like a fierce lioness protecting her cubs. And I was one. I was stunned by the reaction of how the town rallied around the Dukes, around me. For the first time since I’d returned to Raines, I felt like I belonged, like I was no longer an outsider.
Jed came over to the table. After he gave me a quick wink, he put his hand on Roger’s shoulder. “You’re not welcome here, Beirstad. You’ve got over fifty witnesses to your threats against Kaitlyn. Your stalking days are over. If Kaitlyn so much as frowns, you’re going to jail. Let’s go.”
“I’ll help,” Landon said.
“No, we’ve got this,” Gus said. “Stay with your girl.” Tucker followed and pushed Roger toward the door.
“Baby, are you okay?” Jed asked, settling right in front o
f me. He lifted my hand, kissed my sore knuckles. I’d had no idea how much it hurt to punch someone, but it had been so worth it.
“Yeah, I am. I really am.” And I was. People had my back. Lots of them. Roger wasn’t going anywhere, but I wasn’t scared of him anymore.
“Do you need anything?” Landon asked, his gaze roving over my face as if waiting for me to burst into tears or something. “Ice for that hand?”
I didn’t need ice. In fact, I didn’t feel sad or upset or angry. I felt… horny.
Going up on my tiptoes, I whispered in his ear. “I need you. Now.”
His eyes flared wide and his gaze instantly heated.
“Now?” he repeated.
I bit my lip, nodded. Glancing down, I took in the way his dick swelled in his pants. The media might have called him Sir Loin of Beef, but I was the one who knew it was true. Knew that every inch of his beef was all mine.
Jed piped in, but kept his voice low. “My office. You, bent over my desk.”
God, I loved his big slab of beef, too. Wanted it. Needed it.
Now.
My panties were ruined from only a few words. Soon, they’d discover that.
Jed bent at the waist, tossed me over his shoulder.
“Jed!” I squealed, grabbing my glasses as I was carried away from the Dukes—who I could hear shouting goodbyes and laughing—and down the back hallway. Obviously, they didn’t mind we would be missing the weekly dinner.
“Baby, everyone knows you’re ours, and now they’ll know we keep you happy.”
They did. I’d never been so happy as I was with Landon and Jed. It had only been a week, but I was ready to spend the rest of my life with them.
But first, I’d give them my wet panties and they’d give me a good fucking. Every day for the rest of our lives. Just like we all wanted.
