She nodded. “Yes, tonight. It’s not too late, is it?”
“No, not at all.” Greg glanced at Devin before saying, “I’ll check with Tom, make sure he’s good with seeing everyone back to their cabins.”
Chapter 13
Kelsey got the same electrically charged vibe entering The Barn as last week, confirming her reaction wasn’t just a fluke. The low, sensuous beat of music blended with quiet voices and the occasional, high-pitched cry. She took a deep breath as Greg and Devin escorted her across the gleaming hard-wood floor, the mingling odors of sweet hay, exotic perfumes and musky sex assailing her senses.
“I think I could get used to this place,” she murmured, her comment surprising her as much as them.
Devin’s dark brows dipped down into a frown and his hand tightened around hers. “Since you’re leaving soon, maybe you can return to the club in Philly.”
“She’ll need to heed the rules better. Why don’t you give that some practice tonight?” Greg drawled, his green eyes lit with humor that countered the tight set to his jaw.
The problem was, other than not being able to figure these two out, the thought of going to any club like this without her two cowboys flanking her all night didn’t appeal to her as much as it once had. Right now, with the McAllisters’ betrayal and the threat against her verified causing her grief, all she could think about was how much she wanted them, and the sweet oblivion of those skyrocketing climaxes their dual touch could produce. The one time they’d gifted her with their bodies and she’d rolled off Greg and under Devin, would be forever seared into her mind as the most intense, sexual episode of her life. Unless she could push them into repeating it. As much as she appreciated their protective thoughtfulness in going slow and looking out for her well-being, like Devin said, she would be leaving soon. There would be plenty of time to recuperate from days of their dual possession once she left.
Kelsey halted a few feet from the table where Sydney and Tamara were waving her over to go up on her tiptoes and whisper, “I promise, I’ll be on my best behavior if you two promise to quit treating me as if I’ll break. I assure you, I’m not mentally or physically fragile.”
Devin moved so fast, Kelsey didn’t register what he was doing until his warm hand slid down the scooped neckline of her top and curled around her bare breast. “So, you’re good with us ordering you to strip bare tonight?”
Embarrassment warred with lust as she cast a quick look around to see who might be watching. Last week, only Devin, Greg and Master Kurt had been privy to her bared breasts and butt in that secluded corner. “I didn’t think of that,” she admitted, unable to keep from leaning into his kneading squeezes. “So I don’t honestly know.”
“At least you’re not lying. That’s a good start.” Greg kissed her, fast and hard as Devin removed his hand. When both men stepped back, the chill that replaced their heat left her as shaken as their touch. “You can think about how far you want us to take you tonight while we give you time to visit.” Ushering her toward their table, Greg smiled at the girls he and Devin seemed to have a special fondness for. “Don’t you two look pleased with yourselves?”
Sydney’s small grin spread into a beaming smile. “We are, Master Greg, but not as pleased as we’ve made our husbands.” Tamara joined her in flicking Caden and Connor warm glances where they both stood behind the bar.
“Can we tell them, Master Connor?” Tamara’s gray eyes gleamed with excitement.
“What’s going on?” Devin looked from the girls to his friends, who seemed just as giddy as their wives.
Sydney and Tamara made the announcement together, their happy voices drawing attention from everyone around them. “We’re pregnant!”
Kelsey stood to the side as everyone converged on the two couples, their happiness for them apparent in the sincerity of their well-wishes. She’d never felt more like an outsider and never craved friendship as much as in those few moments. She liked her friends and coworkers, but doubted if she’d feel as exuberant over the announcement of a baby, or if any of them would greet that news from her with such heartfelt enthusiasm. It was strange, and a little disheartening to discover there was something lacking in her life that she never realized before. This would be yet one more thing to cope with when she returned to Philly.
Damn, she really needed that temporary escape she’d been craving again from Greg and Devin. Even if it meant getting naked in front of others. She’d never see any of them again, which should make it easier.
“Sit down, Kelsey. Join us,” Sydney insisted, glancing up at Greg and Devin. “If it’s okay with you, Sirs.”
“It is, and congratulations, you two.” Devin bent and kissed each girl on the lips and then Greg followed suit. Their husbands’ proud smiles hadn’t slipped, so they were obviously good with the attention their expectant mothers were getting.
“Wow, that must be exciting, having your babies so close together.” Kelsey sat down as the others strolled back to their tables and the guys took a seat at the bar. “One might think you planned it that way,” she teased.
Tamara giggled. “We didn’t, but people aren’t going to believe us.” She shrugged. “I don’t care, I love the way it turned out. We’re due just a few weeks apart.”
“And now, the fun part will be seeing how the guys react if one or both of us has a girl.” Sydney practically rubbed her hands together in anticipation of that possibility and all the fun she could have with Caden.
“As protective as I’ve noticed these guys are, I bet they would be as strict with a boy as a girl. I hope you’ll send me a birth announcement.” Kelsey would make sure she left them her contact information before leaving tonight.
Tamara’s face fell. “Are you leaving soon? Will you come back?”
“I…” Would she? Kelsey eyed Greg and Devin and her heart executed a slow roll. She wanted them, she never denied that fact. And she acknowledged she would miss them, not just the awesome sexual experiences they’d given her, but them. But neither man had said a word about the future, nor hinted they would miss her. So, no, she wouldn’t return just to go through the uncertainty of leaving again. “It’s such a long way, and long-distance relationships don’t fare well, so I doubt it. But I’d love to hear about your babies.”
“Then we have to keep in touch,” Sydney insisted.
“Okay, what gives?” Caden glanced from Devin to Greg, suspicion darkening his eyes and drawing his brother’s attention.
Devin resisted the urge to look back at Kelsey, not surprised by his friend’s quick observation. He waited until Greg gave him a nod in agreement before saying anything though. “We got word the threat against Kelsey is real. The FBI is on it, and moving on what they have as fast as they can. In the meantime, she doesn’t make a move without one of us by her side.”
“What can we do to help?” Connor asked, stepping forward with their beers.
