“I heard back from the attorneys today,” he told her.
“I don’t want to talk about it. You know I don’t care about what Tony tried to scam. It was bad enough having my brother show up at the hospital and then try to put up a GoFundMe link on Facebook to raise money for me. Thank God Monroe found that and stopped the funding.”
He reached over and touched her hand. He held it and brought it over his thigh.
“It’s been rough, but with our lawyers on board we ensured that we could end all of this.”
She looked at him.
“End it all? You think you did?”
He nodded his head as he pulled the truck into the driveway between the two entry pillars and over toward the detached garage.
Monroe opened her door and helped her out. They headed into the house and to the kitche
n.
“So what did the lawyers say?” she asked. Monroe and Caldwell stopped what they were doing.
“You heard back from them?” Caldwell asked.
“Just before you guys showed up at the department.” He looked at Alicia.
“It’s over, Alicia. Tony will be in jail for quite some time for the crimes he committed against you and others. The DA from Dallas is involved, too. But none of that is your concern. The papers he wanted to force you to sign weren’t legal anyway. He was scamming you and hoping to scam some lawyers. The money was never his. It’s all yours. Two hundred thousand dollars.”
Her mouth dropped and she grabbed the counter.
“Holy shit,” Monroe said.
Caldwell placed his hand on her shoulder.
“It’s true, and it’s safe and secure in an escrow account waiting for you to do whatever you want with it.”
“For real?” she asked, sounding and looking shocked. He chuckled.
“For real.”
She turned around and hugged Caldwell then she hugged Monroe.
She looked at Max and she suddenly looked serious.
“You left me that night at the construction site and set out to clear everything up and help free me from all of this. You and Monroe and Caldwell are my heroes, my strength, my determination, and my everything. You dared me to succeed, to achieve my dreams by helping me any way you could, and I will love you forever for doing all of it.” She hugged him and he smiled wide, hugged her back, and looked at his brothers who had love and respect in their eyes. They’d found their soul mate, their lover, and the woman of their dreams.
She pulled back.
“So, what should we have for lunch?” he asked. Caldwell and Monroe started naming all the things that were in the refrigerator, but their woman seemed to have a different idea as she pulled her camisole up and over her head.
“How about me?” she said.
Max pointed his finger at her as Caldwell hugged her from behind and cupped her breasts. He was licking her neck and suckling against her skin.
“Someone feeling naughty?” he asked.
She held his gaze.
“Real naughty, Sheriff Gordon. I think you better bring your handcuffs.”
She slipped from Caldwell’s hold and ran for the stairs. They followed hooting and hollering about spanking her ass and filling her with cock.
