The men stood across from the girls with glasses of bourbon.

Rafael looked out the window and saw all the security the three men had for the day. He thought the thirty men in and around the house were enough, but there was always that chance something would happen.

“Have you guys started on some safety rooms for the house?” Casen asked after handing him a glass filled with the amber liquid.

Rafael nodded to Casen. “Yes, both upstairs and on the main level. Thankfully, I started months ago, and they are about done.” He looked toward Rowan. “How about you?”

Rowan kept his eyes on Angel as he nodded.

Rafael would have laughed if he and Casen hadn’t been doing the same things with their wives.

“We’ve got a decoy car that’s going to leave before you guys. We’ll see what happens. I’ve got a security woman about the size of our girls, and she has a long red wig.”

Rafael nodded. He liked the idea and was glad Rowan had thought about it.

Rafael flinched when all three women huddled together and were crying and talking at the same time.

“How did Faith take it?” Rowan asked.

“Badly. I had to take her downstairs and spank her until she cried. She was bottling it up and rocking. I could tell she was in pain, but she couldn’t release the sadness by herself. It was just too much. How about your women?”

Rowan took a quick drink. “I had to do something like that. I didn’t take her downstairs, but I had to fuck her for hours until she felt calm. Thank God, she makes me totally hot. I’ve never had this feeling with another woman.”

“Me either,” Rafael said and turned to Casen. “How aboutyou and Harmony?”

He smirked, but Rafael could see the deep concern in his friend’s eyes. “I think a sailor would have been offended by some of the stuff Harmony was yelling.” He snorted. “It’s funny they named her that because there’s nothing the least bit timid about her.”

“Does that bother you?” Rowan asked.

“Hell, no. She’s perfect for me.”

Rowan nodded. “Same here.”

“What are you going to do with Debra?” Casen asked Rafael.

He shrugged. “We weren’t exclusive.”

Rowan scowled. “That doesn’t matter to women. You aren’t still going to see her, are you?”

Rafael pulled his eyes from Faith. “I don’t think so. I think Faith was made for me.” He looked at Rowan. “What did you do about Brigit?”

“Fuck, she was here when we got home. It didn’t go well at all. Angel tried to leave, and Brigit screamed and threatened.”

Casen cursed. “I told you that woman is a viper.”

Rowan nodded at Casen. “She is. I didn’t realize how much until that night. I’m still not sure how she got in. I had it out with my security about that. The way it worked was I called her when I needed a good fuck, and she’d come and then leave right after. How she suddenly thought we were an item is beyond me.”

“Women think way different from us,” Rafael commented.

Rowan walked to the door when there was a knock. Rafael heard him murmur and then let the guy in. They both came back to stand with the others.

“Guys, this is one of the men I have looking for information, Peter Sanders, and he’s learned something. By thelook on his face, it isn’t good.”

Rafael checked and made sure Faith was occupied before he turned his attention to the man.

“It seems Eldora, their stepmother, has been in bed, literally, with Omar Montgomery.”

“Fuck,” Casen spit out.
