Violet

The night we’d shared was never too far from my mind, but standing there in front of them, it might have happened the night before. It was fresh, so raw I could almost hear the sounds of the night through the open cabin windows as they made love to me. It’d been deeper than just sex somehow. By the time morning had come, I’d been halfway in love with the three of them. The connection between us had been unlike anything I’d ever felt and I’d known it was special, not just because it was my first time, but because there was burning chemistry that didn’t happen often.

I’d known them for less than twenty-four hours, over six years ago, but I felt such a strong connection to them that it startled me. We’d created a life together, but it was more than that. I’d trusted the men instantly when I met them. I’d been abandoned by friends at the bar in town. We’d driven over three hours to get there, making the trip after hearing about Harmony Valley and all the hot men. I’d found myself alone, in a town I’d never visited before and knew no one in, and my phone had died pretty much right away.

Justin had spotted me first. The three of them were heading into the bar but when they saw me, they came to my aid. They let me use one of their phones to call my friend, the one who’d left me behind, and then they tried to drive me all the way back to campus. I’d refused, too guilty to make them drive that far just because my friends sucked. I’d asked them to take me to a motel instead, figuring I’d sleep through the night and figure out how to get back to campus the next day. The motel was fully booked, but there were cabins in one of the smaller towns just outside of Lilyfield. They knew the owner and were able to get me set up with a cabin rental for the night.

The cabin had terrified me. It was in the middle of the woods, all by itself, and I’d panicked at the idea of sleeping there alone. I’d been afraid enough that I’d asked the three of them to stay with me for a little while, until I wasn’t scared anymore. That led to me asking them to stay the night because I couldn’t get over my fear. They’d been perfect gentlemen. Until one touch created a thick tension and the next ignited flames.

I’d given them my virginity that night and they’d given me Forrest. It’d been amazing. They had to report to work the next morning, but they went out and rented the cabin for another night before they left, telling me they wanted me again as soon as they finished work for the day. I’d been smitten, halfway in love, and thrust into a wild sexual desire I needed their help to satiate.

A friend had called right after they left, though. She’d heard I’d been left behind and was on her way to get me. Another friend had been dumped the night before and needed me. I hadn’t wanted to leave. Not even a bit. I didn’t put myself first, or even second, at that point of my life, so I’d ignored my own needs to help a friend. The note I’d left was probably needy, but I wanted to see them again. I needed to see them again.

One day had turned into one week, and then into a month, without a word from them. I never told any of my friends what I’d done that night. It felt too special to share with anyone else, even if I believed the guys hadn’t cared enough to call me. The night we’d shared became magical in my mind. Despite it hurting when I thought of them writing me off after just one night.

Even when I’d dismissed the idea of ever seeing them again, I still held onto that night like it sparkled with glitter. It’d been so special to me that in all the years since, I hadn’t been able to even kiss another man. I’d tried to date, but when it came time to get physical, I just couldn’t. There’d been no one before them, and no one after them.

I looked at the three men who’d ruined me for anyone else and a wave of fresh anger struck me. Over half a decade of my life had been scarred by them. I was sure they hadn’t thought of me the way I’d thought of them. I had a constant reminder of their existence in Forrest, but even without him, I would’ve spent too much time daydreaming about them and what might’ve been.

“I don’t want your apology. I don’t want anything from you three.” I shook my head and moved towards the door. “Maybe you didn’t get my note. Maybe you would’ve called me and we would’ve found out about Forrest together. That’s not what happened, though. Things aren’t always pretty. I never should’ve come back here. You three were clearly fine without knowing any of this. I was fine. Now, it’s a mess.”

“If you’d known you’d find us here, would you have still moved?” Justin shifted to block my exit.

I hesitated. “I don’t know.”

“We have a right to know about him and to be a part of his life.” Ben growled out at me.

“Of course, you do! I probably would’ve come, but I would’ve been better prepared. I would’ve known what to say and how to say it. I would’ve prepared myself to see you three again.” I lowered my voice. “This is a giant shock to my system. I never thought I’d see you guys again. I don’t know how to let go of the hurt right now, and looking at you guys makes me want to cry.”

Ben grabbed my hand and spun me into his arms. With my arms pinned between our chests, he held me tight and looked down at me with a frown on his face. “You’re here now. We’ll figure the rest out.”

I swallowed down a lump in my throat. “We will?”

His big hands splayed across my back. “Whether you were ready or not, the cat’s out of the bag. We aren’t men who are going to walk away from our son. So, yeah, we’ll figure it out. Together.”

I felt a hardness against my stomach and blinked up at him in shock. Of all the things I was expecting, that was the least of them, even after kissing Mason. It was the first time I’d felt an erection in over six years and I was almost scandalized for a moment.

His mouth quirked up on one side and he lifted a shoulder. “I was wrong to stop Mason.”

Mason pressed into me from behind. “You really were.”

My body came alive, throbbing in places that had only ever throbbed for them. I struggled to catch my breath and when Justin joined them around me and gripped my chin, I forgot how to breath completely.

He pulled my face to the side and leaned in closer, until our breaths mingled. “It feels like yesterday you were begging for us to touch you, Vi.”

Ben ran his hands down my sides and stopped at my hips. “You said you’re a single mom. Single in every sense?”

I nodded at him, even as I told myself to lie and say I wasn’t single. I knew I shouldn’t be letting them touch me the way they were, but I couldn’t stop it. I’d felt so painfully alone and neglected for so long that even just a few touches had me straining for their attention.

“Good. I’d hate to have to dump someone for you.” He pulled my mouth to his and kissed me hard, unforgiving in his desire. Shifting his hands to my ass, he lifted me so I had to wrap my legs around him.

Had to might’ve been a stretch. I was eager. Things that had been dormant for too long were waking up and those things wanted the men around me. All it took for them to understand I was right there with them was me wrapping my arms around Ben’s neck. As soon as I did that, the energy in the room shifted.

Mason pulled my hair to one side and used his mouth and even his teeth to tease the sensitive skin at the back of my neck. He pressed himself into my ass and wrapped his arms around me so he could cup each of my breasts. Immediately, he swore and rocked his hips into me harder. “Jesus, Violet These are even better than I remembered.”

Ben broke our kiss to look down at my chest. He pulled the towel off my chest and tossed it behind him. “You grew.”

My cheeks heated. “A baby will do that.”
