Their Juicy Woman

“I kissed you all,” she said.
“I think it’s safe to say we all kissed you,” Casey said.
“And I responded to all of you.” She dropped her head in her hands.
“I don’t mind.” This came from Shawn. “I don’t mind that you responded to Parker and Casey.”
“Same here. I don’t mind that you did with Shawn and Casey.”
Casey looked at her. “Do you understand what we’re trying to say?”
“You’re happy that I kissed you all when you should be screaming and kicking me out.”
He couldn’t help but chuckle.
Shawn shot him a glare. “You know our parents, Poppy. We have two dads.”
“It’s what we want,” Parker said. “Only there’s three of us, which is going to probably drive you crazy, but we all love you in our own way.”
Her mouth had dropped open. He really hadn’t thought she was ready for this kind of talk, but with both of his brothers kissing her, he knew there was no point in hiding it. They’d waited three years, then the past five months. It had been a long road getting them here, and it wasn’t going to go away.
They all loved her more than anything else.
“You want me?” she asked, looking at each of them. “As what?”
“We want you to be our wife,” Casey said, speaking up. “Our dads are married to our mom. Elijah is the oldest, so he’s the one that is legally married to her. They had another ceremony with Bruce.”
“You want me to marry you?” she asked. “I … I had no idea you even liked me … that way. None of you have shown any real interest.”
Casey, Parker, and Shawn chuckled.
“We’ve been hiding it,” Shawn said. “First, none of us wanted to add to your stress when it came to your mom. She needed you, and we could wait.”
“Hold on, when did you decide this?” Poppy asked.
“After we each gave you that jewelry,” Casey said. “I knew I’d wait for a lifetime for you.”
“You’ve got a kind heart, princess,” Parker said. “I was always protective of you.”
“You’ve been my best friend, and I fell in love with you when you stood up to Ben and he pulled your hair. I knew there was never going to be another woman for me.”
Each of them had slowly fallen in love with her. It had taken Casey longer, as the age difference of ten years had been hard. He couldn’t deny that she’d grown into a beautiful, desirable woman. When she’d been younger, he’d felt very protective of her.
Those feelings had only gotten stronger in recent years and months.
“I’ve never been in a relationship. I’ve never had sex.”
“I haven’t either.” Shawn held his hand up. “We’re the same in that regard.”
Her mouth fell open.
“I’m not going to lie. I’ve been with others,” Parker said.
“I have as well, but I’ve not touched another woman since I realized I was in love with you, Poppy. I never would.”
“I can’t … wow, I’m in shock.” She looked down at the floor, and then up at him. “And you want to share me?”
“Yes, we want to share you. All of us want to be with you,” Parker said.
“One day we’re hoping you’ll share our dream with us.”
“This is a lot to take in. Erm, it’s really late. I don’t suppose I could go to bed?” she asked.
Casey laughed. “We’re not going to start taking away privileges or anything. You’re free to come and go as you please, Pops. Just know that when we’re staring at you, it’s because we love and care about you.”
She nodded and got to her feet, leaving them alone.
“Wow, that so did not go well,” Shawn said, sitting back in his seat, folding his arms and pouting.
“What exactly did you expect? To lose your virginity tonight?” Casey asked.
“I don’t know what I expected. I just thought something would happen.”
“We just told her that we all want her. We want to share her. That’s a lot to take in. I think the fact she didn’t run away screaming is a huge deal. I’m happy.” Parker got up. “I’m heading to bed. Good night.”

Shawn sat at the breakfast table the following morning. Casey and Parker were out with the ranch hands fixing another section of the fence that had been torn down. They’d not found a dead cow or signs of any trouble, but Shawn didn’t like it. The damage to the property was easily fixed. It was everything else he had an issue with. He didn’t understand some people, and they were pissing him off by messing with his home.
Coffee and oatmeal had been waiting for them. Poppy had clearly come down ahead of time, prepared their breakfast, and gone back to her room. He agreed to stay behind to talk to her. That was all he was going to do, talk, and then try to clarify any questions she had.
