Only problem, she feared, was that Cal would never speak to her again. And could she blame him? Wouldn’t she be doing to him what had been done to her family?
Nathan stepped outside.
“Grandmother, I’ve got to go,” she said. “At least think about coming back to Blessing and seeing Grandfather one last time.”
“I’ll talk to Kenneth and your mother,” she said.
Disconnecting the call, she glanced at Nathan.
“I’m so confused,” she said, gazing at him. “My grandmother admitted to me that she found a pair of ladies’ underwear in my grandfather’s truck. That’s why she believed he was cheating on her. What if he lied to me? What if everything that Ron and your father said is true about him? And yet, looking at that paper, I know he’s been wronged.”
Nathan nodded.
“I think it’s time for us all to put this behind us tonight,” he said. “I think the only comfort any of us will find is in each other’s arms.”
Jumping up from the patio chair, she ran to him. “Thank goodness. I need to be held by both of you tonight. I’m so afraid that what we’re going to learn will tear us apart.”
“Me too,” Nathan said, pulling her in tightly and holding her against his chest.
Here, she found comfort, solace, safety, and security. Here, in his arms and Cal’s, she’d found everything she’d been looking for.
And now her heart was getting involved, and that scared her.
Terrified her.
Made her doubt all her reasons for learning the truth.
Lillian couldn’t wait to experience the joy she always found in Nathan and Cal’s arms. Quietly, she followed Nathan up the stairs to the main bedroom where Cal lay naked on the bed.
“Sorry, darling, I need this tonight,” he said. “I need to forget the ugliness of the human race and focus on the beauty of you in my arms.”
Warmth filled her. They were all trying so hard not to let this situation hurt them.
She removed her clothes slowly.
“I need you as well,” she said, sliding the zipper down her jeans. “In fact, how much I need you terrifies me.”
A grin spread across Cal’s face.
“Don’t leave me out,” Nathan said, removing his pants and shirt. He’d run around barefoot since she walked in the door.
Nathan walked over to the dresser, selecting a larger plug from the wooden box and a jar of ointment. “This is the last plug. I want to see you work it into your ass. Afterward, I’m going to spank you, and you are not allowed to come.”
She tilted her dark curls in one direction. “You’re punishing me because I went to my grandfather’s this afternoon without you.”
“Yes, darling. The thought of you being out there alone scares the hell out of me. Tomorrow, I’ll go with you.”
He sank down on the bed. “Across my lap when you’re ready.”
“Put the plug in first,” Cal said. “I want to watch.”
Pursing her lips, she glanced between them and then took the plug in her fingers. Nathan handed her the lube and watched as she greased up the end. She placed the object between her legs but paused.
“We’ve had a couple of trying days. But I want you to know I like the fact that you’re in control. I like what we do together. I like it when you spank me for pleasure. But I don’t like it when you punish me.”
“Don’t disobey, and I won’t spank you hard,” Nathan said. “But that place frightens me. That creepy woman next door might have a man around that would harm you. Don’t go out there alone again.”
Lillian smiled at Nathan as she reached up and stroked his face. “She frightens me as well.”
