“Thank you, baby,” Luke murmurs softly. “That was incredible. So fucking hot, I’m just sorry I didn’t get to reciprocate before he showed up.” I’m sorry, too. My clit is throbbing with desire, dying to be touched by this man holding me. I kiss him again instead of disclosing my disappointment at being interrupted.

“It was my pleasure,” I whisper between heated kisses. I could kiss him all day, but I’d rather be doing other things. As if he’s reading my mind, his hands are wandering over my body through my dress. He teases my nipples, turning them to hard peaks. Sweet torture. It isn’t long before I feel his hand on my calf. It begins to slide up my inner thigh, dragging the hem of my dress up. My skin dimpling from the cool air. I groan at howgood it feels when his fingers brush along the crease between my leg and my pussy. Roughly he pulls my panties to the side, teasing my clit. My hips begin rocking of their own accord. I’m sprawled out over his lap taking in every touch, biting my lip to keep quiet so Enos doesn’t hear us.

“Hey, you like General ‘T– whoa! Shit! Sorry!” Enos enters the room before making a hasty retreat. I jerk to sit up. Oh my God! Two, no, now all three of his brothers have witnessed, on some level, us having sex. First Rosco overheard us, then Bo walked in to see Luke’s naked ass, and now I’m fairly certain, Enos got an eye full of Luke’s hand buried in my pussy. I’ll have to move out of the country at this rate.

I try to pull out of Luke’s grasp, but he’s having none of it. He takes my mouth to stifle my protests as his fingers continue working my body so expertly. Enos’s interruption is soon forgotten as my impending release approaches at lightning speed. His fingers are working me to a fevered pitch, his mouth keeping my sounds muffled. Faster and faster, he works me until I explode, shaking violently from head to toes. He keeps working me, dragging it out until I slump against him like a pile of goo. He kisses my temple while straightening my dress to cover my bare legs.

“Damn,” Luke whispers in my ear. “I love watching you come, baby girl.” I shiver again at his growly voice. Now I’m covered in sweat, and my legs are like wet noodles. The sounds of the others arriving have me trying to compose myself and get out of Luke’s lap. “Wait!” Luke pulls me toward him, stealing my breath with one last heated kiss. “Until bedtime,” he says huskily, then he lets me get up from his lap. I’m weak and shaking as I come to my feet. Luke keeps a hand on me until he's sure I’m steady. We both laugh a little at my Bambi legs. The guys are getting louder, so I pull myself together and stand on my own two feet unassisted.

“Um, I’m going to clean up,” I tell him as I begin making my way to the bathroom. Once I’m alone, I take a look in the mirror.My face is glowing from our activities. I can’t believe I just fell right back into his arms again. My face heats as I think about sucking him off. Jesus! I’ve never been so bold. I’m losing my mind. It must be the stress. Yes! That’s it. I’ll blame it on the stress fracturing my mind. That’s what this is.

I wash my face and finger comb my hair as I will my racing heart to calm down. How can I walk out there and face, not only the man who’s just given me mind-blowing pleasure, but his brother who basically witnessed it? I take a couple of deep breaths as I counsel myself to school my features. It’s just like when you get caught breaking the rules as a kid. Deny. Deny. Deny. Just pretend it didn’t happen. Enos saw nothing. Bo saw nothing, and Rosco definitely heard nothing. Yeah, I can do this. With my confidence boosted I exit the bathroom and make my way through the house following the delicious scents of food. I spot them all out on the patio. It seems they love to eat out there, not that I can blame them. It’s a really nice space with an incredible view.

“There she is!” Bo declares as I exit the sliding glass doors. My face heating immediately. Have they been talking about me? I’m about to spin on my heel to head back inside when Luke motions for me come sit next to him. Deny, deny, deny. I repeat the mantra in my head as I stroll over to them.

“Okay Marley, you have to help us settle a bet,” Bo declares the instant I take my seat. I worry what this bet is about. I glance at Luke, but he is busy passing containers of food my way, scooping a little of each thing onto my plate. I raise my eyes to look at Bo. “Are you or are you not going to work at Joe’s truck stop on I-264?” Luke makes a very unhappy noise that literally sounds like a dog growling.

“Yes, I am,” I reply, which results in a cacophony of laughter.

“I knew it!” Bo bellows around fits of laughter, holding out his hand to take money from Enos and Kelvin. I frown in confusion at what’s happening. I look to Luke for an explanation, but heisn’t laughing. He looks royally pissed. Oh! I remember him telling Kelvin I wasn’t going to work at the truck stop. Shit! Looks like we’re about to have another argument and in front of everyone.

“Marley”—Luke starts, then stops, his jaw clenched tightly—"I know you want to find another job, and I’m all for it, but you can’t work at that place.” He holds up his hand to stop my protests. “It’s not safe even if someone wasn’t trying to hurt you. That place is a hotbed for nefarious individuals.”

I can’t believe I’m hearing this. I know it’s kind of a rough environment, but I’ve worked in places much worse. He’s just used to the fancy life. He doesn’t understand this is how the common man lives. I’m not going to let him tell me what to do. Mom was right. Don’t give your heart away; a man doesn’t know how to care for it. He wants to boss me, which is fun in bed, but not out here in the real world.

“Nefarious individuals?” I question. “Do you hear yourself?” I can’t believe him. I’ve never met a man like him before. He’s entirely out of my league.

“Marley, I know what I’m talking about,” Luke says sternly. “You need to listen to me and do as I say. I only have your best interest at heart. Now don’t be difficult. You aren’t working there.” He turns back to his food as if the matter is completely resolved. The men have gone silent. They’re taking all of this in like a tennis match. Their heads bouncing back and forth between myself and Luke as we argue it out.

“You, Luke Robertson are not the boss of me,” I tell him, rising to me feet, knowing I sound childish but I don’t give a shit. My appetite is suddenly gone. “I am going to take that job. I’ve worked in worse places before and made out just fine.” I take a step, but a steel vice grips my wrist. I look down to see Luke has grabbed my wrist, and he’s holding on tightly. I pull, but he isn’t relenting.

“I’m not trying to boss you,” he says calmly, despite the lookon his face. “I’m trying to keep you safe. All kinds of criminals pass through that place. Drugs, prostitution, and the selling of illegal guns happen there on a daily basis, and that’s the tame stuff. You will not expose yourself to that. I won’t allow it.” Bo whistles, causing all eyes to turn to him, except for me. I’m reeling from Luke’s last words.

“You won’t allow it?” I ask incredulously. “You won’t allow it?” I’m yelling by the time I’ve finished repeating the question. “Of all the unmitigated gall!” I jerk my wrist hard, but he holds tight almost to the point of pain. I stumble as I’d been sure he’d let me go. He pulls me toward him firmly. “What are you doing?” I demand as he pulls me into his lap once again. He mutes any further protests with a deep searing kiss. I fight him, pushing against his chest with all my might, but he isn’t giving up. He holds me tightly, commanding my body. I’m determined not to give in, but damn he’s so good with his mouth.

Before I know what I’m doing, I’m kissing him back. I moan into his mouth as he devours me, holding him to me like a drowning man holding onto a life raft. I’ve completely forgotten the men sitting around us as he works his magic. At last, we come up for air. He peppers my mouth and closed eyelids with soft quick kisses. I’ve completely forgotten why I was angry with him. He leans his forehead to mine. We’re both breathing heavily.

“What are you doing to me?” I ask in confusion. He makes me lose my head when he holds me, kisses me. He chuckles at my question.

“The same thing you’re doing to me,” Luke murmurs to me. “You drive me crazy in the best way. I can’t think straight when you’re with me, but I can’t stand being away from you.” My throat tightens with emotion. I bite my lip in indecision. I want to be a strong independent woman, but the need to make Luke happy is forefront in my mind as he continues, “I don’t want to argue with you sweetheart, but that place isn’t safe. Please, let me help you find a better job?” I want to protest, but I realize hereally is worried about me. I can hear it in his voice. How can I be upset with him when he’s only worried about my well-being? I blow out a breath and roll my eyes.

“All right,” I agree, “but I’m getting a job as soon as possible.” He tightens his arms around me, pressing a kiss to my forehead.

“Yes, ma’am,” he asserts, as the men around us break out into arguing, once more. I look up to see money exchanging hands again.

“What’s going on?” I look around in confusion. They ignore me and continue their bickering. I look to Luke who looks exasperated with the whole thing. “Luke?” He gazes at me, but instead of letting me in on what’s going on, he kisses me again. I pull away. “Seriously!” He grins.

“They were taking bets on whether or not you would be working at the truck stop,” Luke updates me. My eyes widen as my mouth falls open. “It seems Bo doubts my ability to get my way.” He smirks at his brother. I’m about to wipe that smirk off his face when he turns back to me. “Oh, no!” he says firmly. “You’ve already agreed to let me find you another job. You can’t go back on me now.” I huff, but don’t argue.

I’m rewarded with a quick peck before he spears a piece of General ‘Tso’s chicken and holds it to my mouth. I look at him in surprise but open my mouth to take a bite. He looks pleased. I chew and swallow while he puts some food in his mouth. I try to get out of his lap, but he isn’t having it. He continues to feed me like a child, and while to some it might seem overbearing, to me, it’s the hottest thing ever. He’s taking care of me, making sure I eat. I’ve been so upset over the last few weeks I haven’t been eating much. I could tell the way my clothes were fitting, before they were all destroyed, I’ve been losing weight from all the stress.

“Marley?” I look up to see Rosco on his feet looking at me expectantly. “You want a glass of wine? I know you don’t care for beer.” I smile that he remembered.

“Yes, that’ll be good,” I answer. He nods and heads inside. Luke holds another bite to my lips, which I happily take. “I’m capable of feeding myself, you know?”

“I know. I like feeding you,” Luke purrs softly, leaning in to whisper in my ear so the others don’t hear. “I like doing other things to you, too.” Luke looks me up and down like he wants to eat me. Mmm, yes please! I feel my face heating at the dirty thoughts running through my mind.

He steals another kiss before filling my mouth with more food. He’s absolutely the most affectionate man I’ve ever dated.Can I really call this dating?I’m going to whether I can or not. I’ve been in his bed, so it counts, right? Rosco returns with my glass of wine. I sip the delicious white wine letting it warm and calm me. When our plates are empty, I look up to see the guys are finished eating as well. They begin talking about their work again, so, I feel like I should leave them to it.
