Bryant swallowed hard. It was killing him inside to think about his brothers getting Lena to themselves. She was so beautiful, but she deserved them.
“She’s yours then. Keep her safe and protect her, or I’ll be coming after all of you.” He walked back into his house, slamming the door behind him.

Melissa and her sister Diana owned Mel’s Boutique. They were so friendly and had such lovely things that Lena had spent over an hour shopping and trying things on. As she emerged from the dressing room wearing a light, purple sundress, she heard the whistles and then Melissa and Diana chuckling as they headed back toward the front of the store.
Blake and Kenny were standing a few feet away, gawking at her.
Lena shook her head and shyly looked away from them and toward the mirror.
Kenny approached from behind her, towering over her. He placed his arm around her waist and kept his palm against her belly.
“You look stunning in this, Lena,” he whispered, and she felt her insides do a series of somersaults. His green eyes looked her over as he pressed her back against him.
She closed her eyes, loving the feeling of being held by him with his chest pressed against her back.
She opened her eyes as Blake touched her cheek, held her gaze, and then trailed a finger down her shoulder, over the bodice of her dress and to her hand. It gave her goose bumps as she tried to pull away fr
om Kenny.
Kenny held her firmly as Blake brought her fingers to his lips and kissed them. As he held her gaze, she felt the heat penetrate through her bloodstream. They were in the middle of a small boutique. Two men were caressing her, looking at her with desire in their eyes, and she was elated. This was heaven and nothing like Detroit.
Blake pulled a digit into his mouth and slowly sucked it then released it.
“You look edible, baby.”
“Oh God!” she exclaimed then got out of Kenny’s embrace.
“You two need to cut that out,” she reprimanded, and they both slyly smiled at her.
“I’m sorry I’m taking so long. It’s been a while since I went shopping. I’m just going to see what I want to take, okay,” she told them as Melissa joined them.
“Do you want any of the things up front, Lena?” Melissa asked.
“I’m only able to buy a few things today. Next month I’ll be back for more, all right?” Lena said as she walked over to the dressing room to change.
“Sure thing.”

“Hey, Mel, what did she pick out up front?” Kenny whispered as he took Melissa by her arm and escorted her up front. Blake smiled. They would buy her whatever she had tried on and liked.
Kenny smiled as Melissa packed up all the items, including panties and bras Lena had picked out and some he added as well. She had great taste, and he would love seeing her in the items as well as taking them off of Lena.
“Wrap them up for me, and I’ll be back later, after my shift ends, to pick them up,” Kenny told her.
“That’s real sweet, Deputy Jones,” Melissa said, and Diana added similar comments.
Lena came out carrying three shirts, three pairs of shorts, and the dress. Plus she was hiding some undergarments as well.
“How about I meet you outside,” Lena stated, and the men smiled.
“I’m on duty. I just stopped in to see how the appointment went with Doc.”
“It went well, Kenny. I just need to keep icing it. As soon as I get home, I’ll do that and take more aspirin.”
“Make sure you rest,” Kenny added then kissed her on the mouth quickly and unexpectedly.
