“Done?” Austin asked Seth.
“All done. Time for these newbie Wilde men to get some tough love.”
Justin frowned. “About what?”
“About your new woman, that’s what,” Austin said firmly. “Shelby is important to this town. She’s important to Jessie and Charly. She works for me, so she’s important to me, too.”
He could tell it was more than Shelby being Austin’s employee that made him care about her. Obviously, she was like a little sister to Austin.
Alex pushed his coffee cup to the side. “And? Don’t leave us hanging.”
“She loves you guys.” Austin’s eyes narrowed “You three love her?”
“Yes,” they all said in unison.
“You want her to be happy?”
“Of course,” Brandon said, his tone sharpening. “That’s what we all want.”
Justin was getting impatient with Austin’s slow reveal of whatever was on his mind. “Spill it, Wilde. What’s this all about?”
“Shelby is a submissive. BDSM has been her life for a very long time. It speaks to her.”
Justin knew Austin was telling the truth, recalling all the hints she’d been dropping to him and his brothers. She’d asked if they’d ever been to The Masters’ Chambers. That had been a big hint and he’d missed it. Fuck!
Seth shook his head. “Your woman told Jessie and Charly that she’s willing to give up the life for you three bozos. She’s afraid you wouldn’t care for BDSM.”
“She actually said that?” Justin looked over at Shelby, still in the booth, comforting Emma. She was willing to sacrifice so much to make sure they got to spend the rest of their lives together.
“She did,” Seth answered. “Is she right? Is that the breaking point for you three? No BDSM?”
“Fuck no, it’s not the breaking point.” Justin’s possessive side kicked into high gear. “There is no breaking point when it comes to Shelby.”
“You heard my little brother,” Alex added. “Nothing will keep us from loving her for the rest of our lives. Nothing.”
“We would do anything for her,” Brandon said. “She’s ours. Always.”
“That’s all I needed to know.” Austin smiled. “Time for a crash course in Dom training for you three. Tomorrow night, be at my club at six sharp.”
Justin smiled. He was finally getting access into the exclusive club after all these years, but this time his reason was much more than wanting to get his rocks off. This time was about the woman he loved.
Chapter Nineteen
Shelby loved this game the guys were playing. She was in Brandon’s car blindfolded. It reminded her of the life a little, but she knew better than to indulge that side of her.
She loved the Champion brothers. They’d saved her from prison and so much more.
Miraculously, Brandon had gotten the sex tape of her off the Internet. How? She had no clue. He was wrapping up his practice, having accepted the position as D.A. here in Wilde. He’d told her that his new role would make bringing Byrd to justice easier. If anyone could get the slippery snake, Brandon could.
Justin’s limp was completely gone now, but he would never be able to return to the circuit. He didn’t seem to mind, as he was all smiles whenever talking about the rodeo camp he and Deuce were setting up in the area.
Alex was back on the clock with the construction of the hospital, but he made it a point to be back at the cabin for dinner every night.
She was so proud of all of them. Her Champions were settling into her hometown very well.
Building a life with them was worth her small sacrifice. Besides, vanilla with Brandon, Justin, and Alex wa
s very tasty and satisfying. “I can’t wait to see my surprise,” she told them.
