Today, their number increased by one.
Jenny was soon lost in the rhythm of the work. At five, she waved as Laci’s guest from the other day, Nancy Drew, arrived for an appointment with Angela. She stood quietly to the side, but her gaze, Jenny saw, tracked everywhere. There was an attentiveness to her, something in the way she stood that made Jenny believe the woman not only saw everything but was ready for anything.
Then Nancy looked at her and met her gaze. Jenny mouthed the words “good luck,” and Nancy’s smile held warmth. She knew from working at the restaurant out by the interstate that sometimes there was fierce competition between wait staff. That was one of the reasons she left there once Angela put her on full time.
This place was a family in the best sense of that word. They helped each other, and in fact, she’d never noticed a moment when there’d been any competition between anyone.
Angela met Nancy at the waiting area and led her off to her office. Jenny really hoped she got the job.
Time flew, and though she had her back to the door, she knew when her guys arrived. She could feel them, as if their spirits connected to hers, despite the crowds separating them.
“Hey, Jenny,” Laci got right into her face, laughter in her eyes. “Patty and Edie are both here, and Tommy will arrive in the next five minutes. Go!”
Jenny laughed. They’d taken on those three students in May, and they were scheduled through the end of August. All three of them were good—with the guests and with the staff—and she was going to be sorry to see them go. They all three had other career goals, and working at Angel’s was just a way to make money over the summer.
“Okay, I’m out of here, but I won’t actually be out of here…”
“Oh, hush, you! I’m almost done myself. I’ll see you at Benedict Central.”
Jenny made short work of hanging up her apron, closing and logging herself out of the ordering system, and grabbing her purse.
Then she made her way to the back of the room. A few moments later she was sighing with pleasure as she nestled in between her men, prepared to “ooh” and “ahh” over the pictures of the newest Benedict her guys had managed to take.

“It blew us both away.”
Parker opened the passenger door of the truck and offered Jenny his hand. She took it and began to slide her way across the seat, but when she reached the edge, Parker lifted her down. The kiss he gave her as he lowered her to the ground she considered a down payment on what was to come.
When he lifted his head, she reached up and caressed his face. He took her hand, kissed it, and began to walk with her toward the front door.
“As we stood there, seeing so many people come out to await news on Maggie’s baby, we realized that, for the people of Lusty, family really does come first. People before profits has nothing on this place. Their first priority is not money, not status, not appearances. It’s people. Amazing.”
Parker and Dale were both awed by that realization. What they’d witnessed earlier was a phenomenon she’d heard of and actually seen a couple of times first-hand herself. “I happen to know that kind of reaction isn’t just for when babies arrive. There’ve been times when someone would be injured, requiring a trip to the clinic, and the family would just congregate there and await news.”
“It sure made us know we’d made the right decision, earlier.” Dale used his key to unlock the front door. Then they were all inside, the door closed and locked.
When they’d told her during that phone call that they’d made their decision to stay in Lusty, to start to put down roots, Jenny wasn’t surprised, but she was thrilled. She felt a connection to this town, and to these people, that defied logic. She’d known, when Angela had offered her a full-time position, that this was where she needed to be.
How wonderful that the men she loved felt the same way!
Dale eased close to her, his body flush against her back. Parker moved toward her until he pressed against her front. Their heat immediately became her heat, and the sensation of their erect cocks stirred her always-banked embers of arousal. She rolled her hips, managing to stroke against both men. Together they groaned—and grew.
