Page 62 of Maizy the Bear Charmer

Cody smoothed the curls away from her face and said, “You’re here. That’s what we’ve wanted all day. You set to work without even noticing the changes around here. You must’ve been pretty worked up, huh?”

Maizy took a deep, tremulous breath and let it out. “I guess I was.”

“You’re not used to having someone to lean on, are you?”

“I’ve been on my own a while.”

Cody gently kneaded her shoulders. “You’re not alone anymore. You’ve dealt with the school and any issues on your own but now you have three men who…who are coming to care a great deal for you, angel. We won’t leave you to fend for yourself against people like Mrs. Dumphrey.”

“But you—”

“I know that if she has anything to say to you at school that you’d handle that on your own, but, baby, if we give you enough reasons to fight for what we have, you can handle her.”

Heath removed a baking sheet from one of the kitchen cabinets and started laying the pastry strips on it. As he got the sugar bowl and cinnamon and started sprinkling both over the pastry, she said, “What are you doing?”

Heath grinned at her as he popped a piece of the raw dough in his mouth and said, “Making pie cookies while you take a long, sexy bath.”

“While I what?”

Spencer smiled and said, “We’ve been working all day. We have a surprise for you.”

Cody poured sangria in a glass filled with crushed ice and handed it to her while Heath placed the baking sheet in the oven and set the timer.

“Come with us,” Cody said as he took her hand and led her to the hallway.

“You got more painting done. My goodness, did you work the entire day? You must be exhausted.”

“Not only did we get more painting done but we got your tub installed and ready to use.”

“You did?” she asked incredulously. “My tub?”

Heath came up behind her and caressed her ass cheeks and chuckled when she squealed. “Yeah, baby. You didn’t think we got that tub so the three of us could luxuriate in it together, did you? That’s yours. Now if you want company, we’re all on board with that plan.”

Cody said, “Matter of fact, we shopped for it with that idea in mind.”

“Well, I did notice it was a very large tub. Did you actually get into it all together?”

Cody grinned and nodded. “I guesstimated the size we’d need and we tried it out, with our clothes on, here after it was delivered. We figured there’s just enough room for all of us in there if you lay in our laps.”

“Oh,” she murmured and squirmed a little as her cheeks grew rosy. “That sounds so sexy. I could play musical chairs…with my bears.” All three of them were surprised at her use of that term and she looked apologetic for a second. “You don’t want me to use that word? I kind of liked it but if you don’t I’d—”

Cody pulled her clip from her hair and said, “We like it when you use it better than anyone else. You can play musical bears in the tub with us anytime you want, baby.”

“Musical bears. I like it,” Heath said.

Spencer nodded, relieved she wasn’t talking about things ending between them anymore and sat down on the edge of the tub to turn on the faucet. “This will take a few minutes to fill. Want some help undressing?”

Maizy giggled and wrinkled her nose. “I’ve gotten all sweaty and dirty today working in the rose garden downtown. You probably don’t want to help me undress right now. I’m funky.”

Heath chuckled lecherously, “Au contraire, baby. I’m getting turned on just thinking about you being a dirty girl. And this T-shirt…Baby, you’re holy-shit-kinda-hot in Hello Kitty.”

Her smile was as radiant as her giggle when he lifted the hem of the shirt and pulled it over her head. Then he buried his nose in it and growled before slinging it over his shoulder.

Spencer, Heath, and Cody were silent for several seconds as they stared at her. He felt like he was seeing her for the first time all over again. She had on a sheer flesh-toned bra that clearly revealed her dark rose-colored nipples and made Spencer’s mouth go bone-dry. Heath stared at her mutely as he unzipped her holey jeans and pulled them down to reveal her matching flesh-toned thong. The color of the material was just barely lighter than her tanned skin and at first glance she appeared to have nothing on.
