“Never too much or too wild. Making love to you will never grow old, baby.” Lew tugged on her nipple as Gideon pulled his finger from her ass and Cerdic pulled from her pussy and took her into his arms.
She immediately wrapped her legs around his waist, clasped his face between her hands, and kissed him deeply. She felt aroused and wild with need after what they’d just done to her. They were sexy, strong, and it set her pussy on fire.
He moaned into her mouth and used one hand to hold her under her ass as he undid his pants and shoved them down.
She released his lips, and a moment later, he pressed her against the house and thrust his cock up into her pussy. She moaned as she tilted her head back, giving him access to her breasts, which he suckled and tugged on.
“Fuck, Sophia, you drive me wild. Fuck,” he exclaimed as his fingers dug into her flesh and squeezed her ass cheeks apart as he stroked as deeply as he could get.
“Cerdic. Oh!” she exclaimed as she came.
Cerdic pumped four more times and then came, too.
She hugged his neck as he caressed her back then sat down in a long, wide, cushioned recliner.
She didn’t stop hugging him, inhaling his cologne, kissing his neck, and he didn’t stop stroking her back. They stayed that way for quite some time.

Lew sat in a chair and watched Cerdic caress Sophia’s back. Andreas pulled a chair close to them, and she reached out and held his hand.
Gideon was in a seat next to Lew, just watching over them as he was, perhaps even thinking what Lew was thinking, how lucky they were to have Sophia as their woman.
As he stared at the tattoo on her body and wondered at how the branches extended and were full and beautiful, the colors as pink and authentic as the actual flower, he felt his chest constrict. Her ex had hurt her so badly. The fact that he was still out there with his buddy and could return to take her from them made Lew’s blood boil. He felt so protective and possessive of her. Just looking at her body, voluptuous, sweet, giving, and caring, he knew she had become their center, their world, and everything all in one feminine, sexy package.
He took a deep breath and exhaled, enjoying this moment of peacefulness, of serenity and safety, the scent of the citronella candle burning, the sound of the waves hitting the shoreline, and the feeling that life couldn’t get more perfect than right now in this moment surrounded by his family. With that thought came a fear. Deep in the pit of his gut, he felt it sizzle. Something wasn’t right. His instincts warned him to be diligent of her safety and protecting of his family, and he vowed to do just that. He would die for her, for them. They were his family, and nothing else mattered.
Chapter 7
“So, it seems some progress was made since we last got together,” Frankie teased Sophia as they grabbed some fresh lemonade from one of the stands on the boardwalk. The men weren’t too far from them, standing around near one of the entrances to the beach. Cerdic, Andreas, and Gideon had to stand in uniform to represent the marine patrol and do some safety instruction presentations for the community.
Sophia smiled.
“I guess you could say that.” She paid for the lemonade then took a sip from hers while the others were being made. She would bring some over to the guys shortly, and then she and Lew would walk around to see some of the other tables set up by local businesses.
“That’s so great. I’m happy for you, Sophia. They’re great guys.”
“They sure are. I really care about them, and I love it here,” she said and smiled.
“Well, you fit right in. I’ve heard great things from Fannie at the real estate agency. Do you like it there?”
“I do, but I would like more hours and maybe get into showing houses, you know, be a little more hands-on. It’s hard to promote a place or recommend it if I haven’t even been in the place. Plus, I like talking to people and where I lived before I did a lot of real estate work.”
“Then it’s like a calling for you. You are easy to talk to. I’m certain you would be great. Have you asked Fannie about letting you try that aspect of the job?”
“There are a few other people who got hired before me that do it here and there. I wouldn’t want to step on any toes.”
“Well, with the way Treasure Town is becoming so popular, I’d say your services would be needed and appreciated, especially since you’re ready to work more hours. How do your men feel about it?”
Sophia felt her cheeks warm, and she giggled. “God, I can’t believe you just said your men like that. It sounds so weird, yet, feels so right,” she admitted.
Frankie gave her a nudge. “Because it is right, and they really care about you. I can see it in their eyes. They light up whenever you’re near. Come on. Let’s get them the lemonades.”
Sophia grabbed the carrier of lemonades as Frankie grabbed hers, and they headed toward their men. They handed them out, and Lew walked over to give them to Cerdic, Andreas, and Gideon.
“You ready for that walk?” Lew asked as he slid his hand around her waist and let his fingers splay slightly over the upper part of her ass in a very sexy, possessive manner. It gave her the chills and made her insides heat up.
“You two have fun,” Frankie said and gave Sophia a wink.
Sophia looked toward the set-up where Cerdic, Andreas, and Gideon were. There was a small group of people listening to Andreas present, particularly three young women who were drooling over them. She paused and watched closely, feeling a little jealous. Well, a lot jealous, but then Gideon gave a wave and so did Cerdic and then Andreas. She waved back, and Lew pulled her along.
“Hey, they only have eyes for you.”
She looked up into his eyes and then felt that little bit of fear that she wasn’t good enough. He stopped her by the bench near the walkway and brought her hands up to his mouth and kissed her knuckles.
“Talk to me. What’s wrong? You get this look sometimes like you’re so sad or unsure. I don’t like it.”
“I’m sorry, Lew. I guess I’m feeling insecure,” she said and then looked away.
“Hey, look at me.”
She looked up into his green eyes. He was six feet four, and even with the heeled sandals she wore today, her head made it only to his chest.
“You’re ours, and we’re yours. You’ll get more and more confident the more time we spend together and get to know one another. Trust doesn’t come easy for us either. We’re basically opening up our hearts, our bodies to one woman. There’s a special bond that we share and always have. It’s difficult to explain. But I can tell you that I would die for any of them, and for you. They would do the same. You complete us, Sophia. We’re not going to screw that up.”
She smiled and then she hugged him when he released her hands.
“Thank you for being honest with me, Lew, and for talking things out. You guys make me happy and make me feel like I can have a life and I’m safe.”
“Good, so how about that walk and then we’ll meet the guys.”
He took her hand, and they traveled along the side streets and saw all the business tables. There was a bit of a crowd gathered near the tattoo parlor. Tank was doing some kind of promotion.
“I wonder what he’s giving away,” she said to Lew. “Probably a free session or something.”
As they got closer, they saw the larger portraits of beautiful tattoos, and he had people signing up for something. Tank caught sight of her at the same time she saw the image that people were talking about, signing a notepad that was under it.
“Sophia,” he exclaimed, and she felt her belly tighten. When, not if, Lew recognized the tattoo and the model in the photograph, he was going to flip out. She thought about how jealous and a bit angry they had been that Tank got to see her ass and one side of her breast. How was he going to react to a public display? Thank God her face didn’t show.
She gave Tank a hug hello, and then Lew shook his hand. It appeared they knew one another pretty well.
When she felt Lew’s hand caress along her hip and then to her ass, pulling her by his side, she had a feeling he realized it was her in the picture.
“What are you doing, giving away tattoos?” Lew asked.
Tank winked. “Hell no, just a free session for a tattoo that requires multiple sessions. When are you coming in to get those angel wings?” he asked Lew.
Sophia looked up at Lew, and he gave her a squeeze closer. “Not sure what I want yet,” he replied, and Tank smiled.
“What seems to be drawing all the attention over here?” Lew asked, but he didn’t move closer. Instead, he caressed his palm up her waist, gliding up the wire of her bra then back down. He knew it was her tattoo, her body in the picture. Oh God.
“Well, some of my more recent, intricate tattoos are pretty popular. People are signing up to get them.”
Sophia was shocked. When they’d come up with the idea together, she and Tank wanted to do something feminine but also something he could work with to hide the branded “M,” but she’d never anticipated that women would want it, too.
Tank stepped closer to Lew as he realized Lew was practically scowling as some guys stared at the picture and one guy complimented the body of the model.
“Hey, that was some of my best work ever. Seven days, four-five hours a day, your woman lay there through the pain determined to get her life back. I was honored she chose me.”
