STORY EXCERPT

“I’m sorry, Lucy. As soon as we heard the alarm we were on the move. We were in another staff room a floor up. I was glad our friends were here to help us. Campbell Cooper and his brothers Timothy and Ramsey got that junkie off you and tied him up, which meant Phoenix and I could get to you and tend you faster.”

“Thanks for fixing me up. Did you give me any blood?” Lucy asked.

“No, but I will if you think you need it. By mine and Phoenix’s estimation we reckon you lost about a pint. You’re going to be tired for a few days, but as long as you rest up, get plenty of fluids and iron rich food, you should pick up quickly,” Cam said.

“I know what to do.”

“Just because you know doesn’t mean you’ll do it. Promise me you’ll call someone to come and stay with you for a few days,” Cam demanded.

Lucy nodded, because she didn’t want to lie to her work colleague and friend. There was no way she was calling anyone. It would be difficult but she could manage well enough on her own. Although she knew Angela would drop everything to help her out, the other woman had enough on her plate without her adding to her friend’s responsibilities. Poor Angie had been in a coma for months, woken up and been out of the hospital for a week before she’d given birth to her baby girl a week later.

Having a newborn to take care of was a joyful but exhausting endeavor.

Her other friends were the people she worked with but they all had families and responsibilities of their own.

So no, she wasn’t going to call anyone to help her out.

Call her stubborn and independent, which she was sometimes to her own detriment, but she was used to doing for herself, had been for years and she wasn’t going to change that now.

“Thanks, Lucy. That makes me feel a lot better.” Cam smiled at her. “I’ll have the release papers finalized and one of the other nurses will bring them in for you to sign. Oh, before I forget, are you up to a few visitors?”

She frowned because she had no idea who’d be here to visit since it was only last night that she’d been hurt, but the gossip grapevine in small town America usually worked fast. Lucy had a feeling that Angie was here and she hoped she hadn’t brought her baby with her since the weather had turned cool. Angie was a good mom though so even if she did bring Evie with her she’d make sure she was warm and as snug as a bug in a rug.

“Sure,” Lucy replied, eager to see her friend, Evie, and her men.

“I’ll send them in.” Cam spun and walked out of the room.

Lucy didn’t see anyone out in the hallway before the door closed behind him so she sighed and closed her eyes. Her arm was hurting and so was her head. She was also still thirsty but she wasn’t sure she’d be able to reach the cup Cam had placed on the bedside table since it was on her right side. She mentally cursed and wished the bastard who’d attacked her had cut her left arm instead of her right, which she used for everything.

That was going to make life very difficult for a few days, but she’d deal like she always did.

Opening her eyes when she heard a whisper of a sound, she startled when she found three men standing near the end of the bed with frowns on their faces. The tallest one looked familiar but she couldn’t place his face. Nevertheless, when she looked into his intense brown eyed gaze, it came back to her. He’d caught her as she’d passed out last night.

“Lucy, I’m Campbell Cooper and these are my brothers, Timothy and Ramsey. I don’t know if you remember but we were here last night when you were attacked.”

She nodded. “Thank you for helping me.”

“You’re welcome, Lucy,” Timothy said.

“How are you feeling, honey?” Ramsey asked.

“A bit sore but I’m okay.”

“Do you know when you’re being released?” Campbell asked.

“Cam was going to organize that now.” Lucy eyed Campbell over as he moved closer toward her. He was a big, tall man. She wasn’t great at guessing people’s height but she figured he was around six foot five, give or take an inch or two. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans with a nice shirt he’d tucked in at the waist. The long sleeves strained over his bulging biceps when he moved. He had light stubble on his chin and jaw, his hair was short and brown. She pegged him to be in his late thirties to early forties.

Timothy was the second tallest of the brothers. He also had short brown hair and brown eyes, was approximately six two to three and was also muscular. He was wearing a white, short sleeved buttoned shirt and he had tattoos down to his wrists on both arms.

Ramsey appeared to be the youngest, in his early to mid-thirties. He had the same brown hair and brown eyes as his older brothers and she guessed he was around six feet or just over.

All three of the brothers were handsome, fit and drool worthy.

“How are you getting home, Lucy?” Timothy asked. He and Ramsey had moved from the end of the bed to the opposite side to Campbell while she’d been taking in their manly physiques and handsome faces. Her face heated but she quashed the blush trying to form at being caught gawking at them.

“I—”

“Hey, Lucy,” Shannon said as she entered the room with a clipboard. “Oh. Sorry, I didn’t realize you had visitors. I can come back later, if you’d like.”

“No!” Lucy cleared her throat. “I’ll sign the papers now.”

ADULT EXCERPT

She moaned into his mouth and kissed him back eagerly, hungrily.

Campbell licked, kissed and nibbled his way down her body, waking nerve endings that had been dormant for a decade. He nudged her legs wider, shifted further down the bed until he was between her splayed thighs.

Tim cupped a breast, drew her nipple into his mouth and suckled on it. She cried out and arched up toward him, wincing when the sleeve of her robe snagged on one of her stitches when she moved.

“Stop!” Ramsey ordered.

Tim released her nipple. She opened her eyes to find Campbell frowning at his brother.

“What?” Campbell asked.

“She winced,” Ramsey said, then turned his gaze to her. “Did one of my brothers hurt you, honey?”

Lucy shook her head. “No. One of my sutures caught on my robe and pulled.”

Campbell sat up, then held his hand out to her. She clasped it and he pulled her up until she was sitting. “Let’s get your robe off, baby. That way your threads won’t catch again.”

She nodded then Tim and Ramsey helped her get her arms free.

“Lie down and lift your hips, Luce,” Campbell said.

Lifting her hips and ass from the mattress, Campbell grasped her robe which had pooled around her waist and he tugged it out from beneath her. She lowered her ass back to the bed and gazed at each of the brothers.

All three of the Cooper men were the epitome of tall, dark and handsome. They were fit and toned and so damned sexy just looking at them made her breathless.

Her breathing escalated further when Tim and Rams caressed their hands over her body, sweeping up and down over her flesh from the top of her breasts to her waist and back again.

“Oh!” she moaned when they each covered a breast with their hand and kneaded it.

Campbell skimmed his hands up her inner thighs, pushing her legs further apart and when she felt his breath against her pussy, she stopped breathing.

Air exploded from her lungs a moment later when he licked up through her folds from bottom to top and back again on a long groan.

His tongue was hot and wet and felt so damn good, her belly muscles jumped.

Lucy closed her eyes again as he swiped his tongue over her clit. Her inner walls clenched, causing juices to leak from her pussy.

Campbell hooked her legs over his arms and then he consumed her. He slurped, licked, lapped and groaned as he ate her out. When her inserted a finger into her sheath, she moaned and bucked her hips up toward him.

It had been a long time since anyone but herself had pleasured her, she’d almost forgotten how good it felt to have sex with a man and she was about to have sex with three men.

“Fuck, you’re tight, baby,” Campbell rasped out. “I can’t wait to feel this sexy cunt gripping my dick.”

“Please,” Lucy said, even though she had no idea what she was asking for. She was so horny she felt like a powder keg on the brink of a big explosion. She wanted Campbell’s cock buried deep inside of her. So much so it was all she could think about.

Tim slanted his mouth over hers and while he kissed her, he rolled her wet nipple between his finger and thumb. Ramsey licked, suckled and chewed on her other nipple, sending sparks of heat zigzagging through her body.

Her clit was a hard, aching pearl and every time Campbell thrust his finger into her pussy, she clenched down on him. He added a second finger to her pussy, pumping them in and out while lashing her distended clit with his tongue.

Fiery, molten heat pooled low in her belly as the tension within built higher and higher.

Her muscles tautened, the walls of her pussy getting tighter and tighter as she rode the waves of pleasure toward the peak.

Tim broke the kiss, took her other nipple into his mouth and sucked hard.

Campbell rubbed the pads of his fingers against the upper walls of her pussy at the same time he drew her clit into his mouth and sucked.

Lucy screamed as she climaxed.

A flood of ecstasy swept through and over her in surge after surge of nirvana. She shook with glory until the swell waned and leaving her a twitching mess and gasping for breath.

“You are the sexiest woman alive,” Ramsey said hoarsely.

Lucy opened her eyes to find all three of the brothers watching her as they caressed their hands over her body.

“That was amazing,” she said softly.

“Yes it was,” Campbell said, sitting up between her legs, shifting closer to her. “Are you on the pill or any other contraception, Lucy?”

She shook her head. “There wasn’t any need for me to take the pill.”

“Tim, pass me a condom,” Campbell said.

Tim opened the bedside drawer, pulled a box out, opened it, tore a packet from the strip and tossed it to his brother.

Campbell stared into her eyes as he opened the packet and rolled the condom over his erection. He caressed the tip of his dick up through her soaked folds then notched the head to her entrance. “Are you ready for me, Luce? Do you want me inside of you, baby?”
