Page 46 of Shielding Lexi (Temptation)

“Where’d you get that?” I ask. “I thought we left it at the beach.”

Kane smiles, as he steps back into his pants. “I know how much it means to you, so I made sure to tuck it away. If you don’t—”

“No, I like it,” I say. “Julie was our guardian angel last night. I want her watching over us.”

“I thought so,” Kane says, reaching for Lexi’s hand.

“Lexi,” Kane says taking Lexi’s hand in his. “We promise to take care of you, and love you beyond what you ever thought love could be.”

Hawk takes her other hand. “And we promise to make you laugh every day and hold you close when you’re scared.”

I look into her eyes and kneel down between her legs, a thousand emotions flooding through me—every one of them good.

Most of them thankful. Thankful for these men I call my brothers, for this house in the middle of nowhere, and for this beautiful, smart, sweet woman we all get to share.

I lean into Lexi’s lips and kiss her softly, then gaze into her eyes. “Most of all Lexi, we promise to shield you from the world. We promise to keep you safe and protect you always. Nothing will ever keep us from doing that. You’re our girl. Always and forever.”

Hawk smiles and kisses her hand. “Do you take us to be your family, Lex?”

She nods, a single tear rolling down her cheek as we jointly slide the ring onto her finger.

“And do you all take me?” she asks.

“Always and forever,” Kane says. Hawk and I concur. And one by one, Lexi slides each of our rings into place, her bare chest still on display, the scent of her pleasure still on my chin as she kisses each of us.

I swear she lingers on me, but I could be imagining it.

“What next?” Hawk asks, laying back on the bed to pull Lexi into his arms.

“I reckon we open up that bike shop we’ve been thinking about,” Kane says. “I could fund it with the money I saved from my poker playing days. I always dreamed of a secluded cottage with a view but I never imagined it would be this good.”

“Yeah, we could open a little shop with a veterinary clinic on the other side so we could spend our days together.”

“We could call it Paws and Pedals.”

“Whatever you want, princess,” I say, kissing Lexi’s head. “What do you say right now, we go get us some groceries? I could use a big steak dinner after all this.”

She smiles, kisses Hawk’s chest, and stands from the bed, admiring her ring as she moves nude through the hallway. I assume she’s searching for the bag of clothes we brought in from the boat, but I like the show, so I don’t bother asking.

A moment later, she returns, covered in a pale pink sundress, her hard nipples poking through the light fabric.

“I’m ready for a ride,” she says, posing in front of us sweetly.

My cock hardens again. I know she means a bike ride, but fuck. Walking toward her, I lift her up and sit back on the bed, settling her onto my lap as I look into her eyes.

Hawk and Kane watch as she bounces slowly on my lap.

“You just had me,” she says with a smile.

I shrug and lean into her neck. “This is how it’s going to be now, princess. You sure you can handle it?”

She leans into my neck and kisses me gently just below the lobe of my ear, the soft tickle of her breath on my skin as she twists her hips in circles on my cock. “I can handle anything with you three.”

“Anything?” Kane says, moving her hair to the side to kiss her neck from behind.

Hawk watches from the side of the bed, his hand already on his cock again as he waits for his space to jump in.

“Anything,” Lexi moans, tipping her head back. “Absolutely anything.”
