He couldn’t find her. She had disappeared off the face of the earth and he was up for the challenge of finding her.

Something felt off about that to him. His brothers felt the same way.

Was Sienna Gallagher still hiding stuff from them?

Lawson stood up and walked to the window. His blood started pumping hotter through his veins as she filled the sight before him.

From their vantage point in their study, he watched her.

Dressed in a pair of shorts, the color of gold, that showed off her beautiful legs and a plain white T-shirt that fooled no one into believing it didn’t cost a small fortune, Sienna Gallagher looked as out of place as an heiress in a chicken coop.

She was definitely looking to make a statement in her high heel sandals, and her glorious hair running down her back in perfect rivers of soft curls.

She still had zero clue what she was doing, but she had been knocking off her chore list for the second day in a row.

The dogs weren’t giving her a chance either. They rubbed up against her, laid in her path, licked her toes, and just wanted to topple her over so they could lick her face.

They were a highly trained breed of dog, different kinds, but they had never seen them act like floppy teen pups around another human being before.

Fuck he found even the faint sound of her sneezing, which the wind carried into the window, cute.

His brothers came to stand on either side of him and watched her too.

“We’re already royally fucked,” Cameron muttered.

He understood that. He knew the moment they had seen her reaction to those images that they couldn’t hold off any longer from taking her. She had looked so vulnerable but also so relieved.

Every reason they had come up with not to fuck her, evaporated the instant she touched them.

They were practical men in all areas of their lives. They resisted until there came a point where they realized their resistance was ineffective.

Resisting her was no longer an option.

Rowan glanced at him from the side. He knew his older brother was sizing him up, to see where he stood.

He didn’t know why he had stopped himself from touching her the night before, alongside his brothers. He was already fucked, he accepted that.

But maybe it was because he preferred to torture himself a little more. Maybe because he wanted to make absolutely sure that when he touched her, it would be forever.

He always took a little longer when it came to making decisions. He had never made a wrong one before. His brothers and the Gallagher brothers relied on him to make calculated long-term assessments. In fact, he shared that trait with Grayson. It was always all or nothing as far as they both were concerned.

“Fuck if I know what we’re going to do about her.”

“We’re going to keep her,” Rowan said, his voice lined with the dominance that all three of them were born with. That single line of words would set into motion a lifetime with her. They knew they were going to keep her. Make her theirs. It was given from the moment they found her on her brothers’ private jet.

Honesty and straightforwardness was why their friendship with the Gallagher brothers went deeper than that of brothers. They planned to let her brothers know they had staked their claim.

They wanted to own Sienna Gallagher.

Lawson couldn’t deny any of it any longer. He had spent the whole fucking night in sheer agony. His cock had remained hard and without a moment of reprieve. He had tried to jerk off, but all his dick wanted was her gorgeous pussy wrapped around him. All he wanted was to see her.

“Yeah,” he said. “Now.”

~~~***~~~

Sienna had woken up that morning, alone in her bed. After cleaning her up, which made her blush, despite the fact that it wasn’t the first time they had tended to her so intimately, Cameron had carried her to the bedroom and put her to bed.

She woke up sore and unsure before she set herself straight. What had happened the night before would always be incomplete for her, no matter how much her world had changed.
