“We love you. We’ve loved you for years. And we’re going to be with you every step of the way, no matter how long or short that will be. You’re ours. We’re yours. We want to make it official.”

Because of her oldest sister, River knew “making it official” entailed contacting Jax Danell, the local lawyer who specialized in Daly’s unique legal issues. In the eyes of the law, most marriages in Daly weren’t marriages at all, but rather legal documentation about custodial rights and property ownership. But spiritually, she, Seth and Tai would be bound. They’d stand before their friends and family and vow their love and devotion. In some ways, it was more complicated than traditional marriage, but in others, it was so much simpler.

“You’re sure?”

“River!” Tai exclaimed.

“I love you, too. Both of you. So much.” River closed her eyes as tears burned behind her eyelids. The depth of her love had been the worst part of everything happening. But they could have happiness together, if only for a little while. She had to stop limiting things and start living every moment, just as she’d claimed she wanted to do. “Where are we going first?”

“Is that yes?” Seth asked.

“Yes. Yes. Yes, yes, yes!” Leaning over, she kissed Tai’s cheek soundly. “More of that when it’s safe,” she promised. Then she unfastened her seatbelt and climbed onto Seth’s lap, straddling him and kissing him hard. “Yes,” she whispered against his mouth. Her hand grasped Tai’s bicep, keeping them all connected. “I love you. I probably shouldn’t, but I want to be yours.”

“You probably shouldn’t?” Tai scoffed. “You need a spanking for that, baby.”

River’s breath caught in surprise, urgent desire shooting to her core and throbbing in her clit. Her hips rocked into the rigid steel behind Seth’s zipper.

His fingers clenched on her ass. “You like that idea?”

“I like the idea of everything with you.”

“Have you ever been spanked before?” he asked.

She bit her lip and shook her head. Heat rushed into her cheeks, and she knew she was flushed by her arousal. Tai reached over and cupped her breast, squeezing lightly and playing with the erect nipple. The fabric between the peak and his fingers both frustrated and tantalized her as it rubbed across the nub.

“I think I should correct that oversight,” he rumbled, his desire turning his words to a near-growl.

“It’s good I know about this rough side of you before we’re legally joined.”

Seth laughed. “You like it rough. I can feel how hot and wet you’re getting through your jeans.” He rubbed her clit through the denim, and she moaned.

Her head dipped into Seth’s shoulder, kissing the skin there and hiding her face. Her fingers clenched on his biceps as he kept working her. “Are we home yet?” she murmured.

“Just turning in now,” Tai answered. The truck jolted up and down as he tore down the gravel road. Seth adjusted her so she rubbed against his cock with each bump.

“We need to get this fucking driveway graded,” he said through gritted teeth. “Though…I can’t say I’ve got many complaints right this moment. Fuck, love, you feel good against me.”

“It’ll feel even better when you’re in me,” she promised.

Tai’s hand curved over her ass. “I’m thinking something special to celebrate…”

The truck jerked to a stop. He was out of the vehicle and around to the passenger side before Seth even released his seatbelt. Tai yanked open the door and tugged her into his arms. Her legs wrapped around his waist as he carried her up the steps to the porch then into the house. After both men pause momentarily to kick off their boots, Seth followed Tai as he nearly jogged up the staircase, still holding her.

Tai set her on her feet beside the bed. His arms crossed over his chest, and he tried to look stern. River could see it was a struggle. They were all bordering on giddy right now. The overload of emotions had River feeling manic. She wondered if the guys had picked up on it, mirroring her mental state.

“Strip,” he ordered.

She blinked, playing coy. “But…”

“Now, River. I believe someone is in need of a spanking.” He leaned forward slightly. “In case you’re thinking of a smartass comment, that person is you. Now, off with the clothes.”

She glanced at Seth, and he seemed equally intent on this, his pose a copy of Tai’s. She swallowed, suddenly a bit nervous about this yet wanting it more than she’d ever admit. She wasn’t so sure she wanted anything that could be considered BDSM but spanking was pretty normal for even vanilla people like her—of course…being in a ménage wasn’t all-too-vanilla, was it? Still, she knew Seth and Tai weren’t into super kinky stuff, so she had no worries there.

Her fingers shook as she reached for the buttons of her shirt. At the same time, she kicked off the track shoes she’d worn for the visit. She noticed neither man removed their clothes.

“Um…” she hedged after she dropped her shirt. “Aren’t you getting undressed?”

Tai ignored her question and sat on the edge of the bed. “Keep going, baby. I think the bra next. I want to watch your tits jiggle while you take off the rest.”
