“I think Gus getting a second chance with Parker is really romantic,” Julia said. She was setting out plates on the teak table, circling it and putting one in front of each chair. Her red hair caught the early evening sun and made it even more vivid.
For the Duke family weekly dinner, it was at the ranch since it was Tucker’s turn to host. Even with Mr. and Mrs. Duke not back yet from a Mediterranean cruise, the rest still got together. The weather was so nice we were eating outside on the large patio. The huge grill was hot and smoking, the scent of barbecued meat made my stomach growl. I was hungry, and not just for food.
Parker was to show up after her shift and I was eager to see her. My dick, too.
It had been hard to let her go this morning, content to keep her naked all day. Fuck, what we’d done with her. She’d been so responsive. It had been practically vanilla, what we’d done. We hadn’t tied her up—or made use of her handcuffs—or spanked her… barely. She hadn’t stayed naked all day so we could bend her over any available surface and fuck her. We hadn’t put a plug in her ass and made her wear it. Hell, it wasn’t like she could keep it in when she went to work, but I would certainly insert one and send her off to the market. Or get her on her knees after she came in the door, taking turns to suck all three of us off. My dick got hard thinking of my cum on her tongue, then her swallowing it down as if it were her favorite treat.
Yeah, I was ruined. Good thing, she was off the next two days, so every dirty kind of play was still a possibility.
But Julia’s words made me smile and glance at Gus.
He was stroking his beard with his thumb and I had no doubt he was thinking what we’d done with Parker was anything but romantic. It had been filthy, at best. My mouth watered for the taste of her pussy again. Just remembering the way her inner walls had clenched my fingers when she came for me that first time or later, when I’d been balls deep in her tight ass. My dick wanted in her again.
“I’m not claiming her alone, you know,” Gus told her.
She set the last plate down, then faced us. Smiled, although a little wistfully. “I know. I’m glad you guys found someone together. You’ve been waiting for a whi
le.”
As far as I knew, Julia wasn’t dating anyone. She’d gone out with a few guys—Gus had grumbled about the simple dinner-and-a-movie dates she went on—but none stuck. None worth bringing to a Sunday dinner. No doubt she wanted to find The One herself, especially since all three of her brothers had. I smiled, realizing that was true. Gus had found his woman and she was mine and Poe’s, too. Just yesterday we’d met her for the first time and yet, she was ours. For good.
I wanted to hug Julia, tell her the right guy was worth waiting for, that the right one would treat her like a queen or her brothers, along with Jed, Colton, Poe and I, would beat the fucking shit out of him. She knew it, probably felt the pressure of that alone, because any guy who wanted her would have to be so pussy whipped that he didn’t care what all of us would do to him. Because if he so much as even had a dirty thought about Julia, let alone touched her, he’d have his hand lopped off at the wrist. And if he even considered doing half of the dirty stuff we did with Parker… he’d be buried somewhere on the ranch, never to be seen again.
But I didn’t want to embarrass her, to make it obvious to her brothers she wanted her own romance, so I did nothing.
Julia went back inside. It was just the guys on the patio now. The women were in the kitchen. They’d left the grilling to the men, although I had no doubt they could do a perfectly fine job on their own. Gus, Colton and Jed were relaxing in Adirondack chairs while Tucker and Duke manned the grill—not that it was a two-man job. Poe was leaning against the railing.
“I’m surprised you’re even here,” Tucker said, lifting the lid on the grill and flipping a sizzling steak. While his nickname was T-Bone, he wasn’t called that because of the beef his ranch produced. Hell, no. I had no doubt the well-satisfied look on Ava’s face meant his dick was a serious piece of meat. And Colton wouldn’t leave her wanting either.
“Did she sneak out at dawn because you didn’t satisfy her? I’d think with the three of you giving it to her she’d get a little pleasure,” Duke ribbed, holding his fingers close together.
“Yeah, little brother. If you can’t figure out where her clit is, there are videos online,” Tucker added with a grin.
Gus just stared at his brothers, clearly having learned not to give them any more fodder to fuck with.
“You get Parker Drew between you and you let her go off to work,” Jed added. “Can she even walk right after taking on three dicks?”
Gus grinned and Poe frowned.
“I’m not even going to talk about how Parker takes us. You Duke boys can fuck around and joke,” Poe grumbled. “But her heading off this morning to be the fucking county sheriff? Not my first choice.” He went to the cooler and grabbed a can of soda.
“I thought Parker’d be the one to have something shoved up her ass, but you, Poe?” Tucker asked. They might kid and poke fun at our sex lives, but it was only brotherly ribbing. None of the guys would ever disrespect a woman for her sexual desires. And while Parker’d had my dick deep in her ass the night before, the three of us wouldn’t have shared that with anyone. He was only poking fun at Poe. The jokes were always about the guy’s performance, not that of the woman. She was able to fuck with wild abandon as much as any guy.
Poe stood, gave Tucker the finger, then popped the top on his drink. “You’re protective of Ava. Would you let her take on Parker’s job?”
Tucker’s smile slipped and he was thoughtful for a moment, even glanced at Colton. Then he looked to Poe and nodded. “Point taken.”
“She’s ours, no question,” Gus began. He was sitting in one of the Adirondack chairs with a glass of iced tea.
I knew Tucker and Colton saw Ava once and knew she’d be theirs. Duke and Jed got a glimpse of Kaitlyn across the bar and were done for. So us seeing Parker for the first time yesterday, fucking her thoroughly last night and saying she was ours today was not out of the ordinary.
“But she’s got a job,” Gus continued. “An important one. Responsibilities. You didn’t keep Ava from running the Seed and Feed after she finally said yes to being with the two of you.”
