Swiveling her glare away from Hawk, Dev narrowed her eyes on Cannon. She didn’t say a word, it was clear he wasn’t off the hook. She was holding them both to account and knew their thoughts were the same. Fuck. He’d have to tread carefully here, because there was no way he’d let her just run off into God knew what with Hugh.
Dev had definite thoughts on the subject, however. Of course, she did. She’d been living in fear for years.
Her raised eyebrow promised further discussion. He mirrored her expression, letting her know he wouldn’t back down, even if he held his tongue now. Yeah, they would discuss the matter. He might be less of a bulldozer than Hawk, but he still knew how to take care of business.
Shaking her head, she turned toward their visitor again.
“How did you even know I was here?”
“I know all your schedules. I figured after yesterday, they wouldn’t let you far from them.”
She seemed to take that as truth. “Okay. Well, thanks, Hugh,” she said in a much nicer tone than she’s used with him and Hawk. “I appreciate you clearing up why you’ve basically been stalking me. I’ll think about leaving and let you know.”
“Ms. Greeley,” he protested, using a name neither Cannon nor Hawk knew. They glanced at each other while Hugh spoke. “It’s imperative you act quickly.”
“I understand that. More than anyone.”
Hugh gave a sharp nod but didn’t argue. “I’ll be in contact tomorrow.”
She tipped her chin, acknowledging his statement. “Thank you, Hugh.”
Cannon frowned. Don’t say his name. You don’t even need to speak to him.
A low growl from Hawk told Cannon his partner felt the same.
It should have made him feel better to know he wasn’t alone in his feelings. It didn’t. The only thing that would make him feel better was Dev in their arms.
The bodyguard—or whatever his job was—headed back to his shiny black truck. As the man pulled away, Cannon turned to Dev.
“We’re done here for the day. You ready to go home?”
“Yeah,” she murmured, then she went to her tiptoes to whisper into his ear. “Briar and I have been talking. She gave me some ideas I want to try out.”
His body hardened at her breath tickling the small hairs near his temple when she let him know she wanted to head back to bed with them, in not so many words. He got the point, though. As his arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her soft curves closer against him, he wondered how anyone had ever thought she was a man. To his eyes and senses, she was all female.
Hawk’s low rumble as he overheard her statement, just heighten Cannon’s arousal. He was anxious for the feel of his man again, too. For all three of them to be one.
“That’s good, baby girl.” Hawk slung his arm around both of them, clearly sharing Cannon’s thoughts. “Real good. Let’s say goodbye then go home and get to it.”

“So what’s this idea?” Cannon asked as he and Hawk followed Devon into the house. She smiled to herself, knowing they were about to blow her mind—at least, they would if Briar was to be believed and if they didn’t say no. Dev didn’t imagine they’d decline.
“Briar was just telling me about something we can try. You know…me having you both at once.” Slipping off her jacket, she hung it on the coat tree then toed off her boots, endeavoring to appear nonchalant.
As they finished taking off their outerwear, she headed toward the stairs. When she glanced back, their eyes were wide and they were fumbling quickly out of their boots and coats.
“You know anything about that? How it would work?” she asked.
“Yeah, baby girl, I know exactly how,” Hawk rumbled, catching her before she could start up the stairs. He swept her over his shoulder and smacked his hand over her ass, sending fire tingling through her. “You’re a naughty girl, you know that?”
“Because I want to try both of you at once?” Was he upset that she’d brought it up? Shocked?
His hand rubbed over her bottom again, his thumb tracing along the crease. “No, because you are a big tease.”
“I’m not teasing,” she defended, breathless from his caresses. Wetness and heat gathered in her core, and she throbbed for her men. “I’m a very good girl. I totally want to find presents under the tree next month. I’ve gotta be good for that to happen.”
“Sweetness, I’ll give you a present under the tree. On the kitchen table. In the stable. Over the backseat of the truck. Anywhere you want,” Cannon said, coming up behind them and running his hands over her body where it was draped over Hawk’s wide shoulder. Leaning forward, he twisted to get to her mouth and kissed her quickly.
