He pulled her close and hugged her and prayed that he and the investigators could gather the evidence necessary to put the men responsible behind bars.

It was hard for Brighid to play dumb the entire day at work, but she did it, despite having to file the documents and sign off on the material to put the insurance claim forward to the investigative department on the Bricker Daily case. She also needed to call the police department and talk with the investigators involved. A Detective Buddy Landers told her that they were still working on the investigation and that arson investigator, Trent Landers, was waiting on results from forensic samples left at the scene. She wrote notes and added them to the file and then placed it into the cabinet. As she closed up the cabinet and turned around, Lenny was there.
“How are we doing on closing the Daily file?” he asked. She was surprised at how he’d snuck up on her.
She gave him an odd expression. “Lenny, these things take time, sometimes weeks or months, depending on the circumstances. It’s nowhere near closed.”
“Did you issue the temporary money to Mr. Daily while he waits for the process to complete?”
“It’s been a little more than forty-eight hours. Money will not be released that quickly in a case like this one.”
“Shit.” He ran his fingers through his hair.
“What’s wrong, Lenny? You know how this works. Why would this case be any different?”
“I was just hoping to get him and his family some money sooner than later. Maybe I’ll just loan him some for now to pay his bills and things.”
“That’s very nice of you, but why would he need help? He ran a good business. The investigations showed he was up to date on mortgage payments and wasn’t behind in anything. The initial reports show decent income.”
“Well, not everything is accurate on paper. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it. I know there’s no way to speed things up,” Lenny said.
“I wish there was, but this is how the system works. Did you have anything else for me to handle tonight? I have plans.”
“With one of the firefighters or the cop?” he asked, and her heart pounded.
“Would you believe all three of them and a fourth older brother?” she asked and then began to walk past him.
“Seriously, Brighid?” he asked and looked her body over in a different way than ever before. It made her gain such an attitude. How dare he judge her or question her love life?
“Well, you told me to go out and get a social life. So I did.”
“Four men, together, with you?” he asked. His eyes roamed over her breasts, and then he licked his lips and smirked.
“Four very possessive, protective men, who don’t take a liking to any other men looking at me, never mind touching me. So, yes, four. I’ll see you tomorrow. Get a good night’s sleep. I have a feeling this week is going to be a long one.”
She left him there looking like an idiot. She, on the other hand, couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there and go home and change. As she went outside, she was surprised to see Tobin’s truck parked right next to hers.
His window was rolled down, and he gave her body the once-over before he spoke. “I’ll follow you home and then drive you to our place. The guys can’t wait to see you.”
She gave a wave and added a little extra wiggle to her walk, knowing that Tobin was staring at her ass. She hadn’t expected him to honk the horn, which was deep and loud, so she jumped and then gave him a sassy look.
“Don’t worry, darling. I’ll be smacking that sexy ass in just a little while. We sure do need to talk about your wardrobe for work.”
She waved her hand at him, as if indication of “whatever” then got into her car and chuckled. He revved the truck’s diesel engine, and she revved her convertible’s engine and off they went.
Once they got to her condo and were inside, Tobin locked the door and started explaining about where they were in the case and what the investigators thought about her information. They were meeting tomorrow morning to go over the findings of the lab results that should have been in yesterday.
She went into the walk-in closet and started to unzip her dress.
She told him about what Lenny had asked today and also about his reaction to her telling him she was involved with all four men. She eased back and tried to unzip the dress until she felt Tobin’s hands there helping her. She looked at him through the reflection in the mirror.
“He looked at you like he was undressing you with his eyes?” He pulled the zipper all the way down, and she let her arms hang as the material pooled to the rug below.
“What would you expect him to do? He’s a man.”
Tobin ran his hands up her back to her bra and unclipped it. She stared at him through the mirror and watched it fall. Tobin licked his lips and then leaned forward and kissed her shoulder.
“He can’t look at, never mind touch, what belongs to me and my brothers.”
She tilted her head back, and he ran his hands under her arms to her breasts, cupping them. She moaned from the feel of his big, warm hands.
“Goddamn, baby, I missed these breasts and this body. You belong to me, to the McQuinn brothers.”
She pushed her ass back against his crotch as he slowly rocked his hips into her from behind.
“Fuck, we’re going to be late. Grab a hold of that dresser in front of you, baby. I need in.”
She heard his zipper go down, and he released her from around the waist and then used his thigh to spread her wider. She did immediately and gripped the dresser in front of her and let him pull her hips back. His fingers found her pussy and clit. They moved back and forth across the sensitive nub and then stroked into her pussy.
She was coming already, and he wasn’t even in her. She was so, desperate for him to fill her up with his cock.
“Please, Tobin, I need you now.”
“Fuck yeah.” He pulled his fingers from her pussy, aligned his cock with it, and then gripped her hips and shoved in deep. He immediately pulled back and shoved in again and again.
“Fuck yeah, I love watching you in that mirror. Look at those tits bob up and down while I fuck this pussy.”
Smack, smack, smack.
“Oh God. Oh!” She screamed as she came hard. Tobin didn’t slow down his pace. He kept stroking and thrusting into her over and over again. Their bodies slapped against one another, and she felt his cock grow thicker, harder.
“Oh sweet God, yes, yes, baby, you feel so tight, so fucking good. Fuck.” He yelled out and stroked into her three more times, so hard she nearly lost her grip on the dresser when he filled her with his seed as he came.
He pressed his head against her back and kissed her skin while massaging her ass.
“I love you, baby. Know that, always.”
He eased out, and she turned around and hugged him tightly around his midsection. “I love you too, Tobin. I can’t wait to see your brothers.”
He gave her ass a slap, she gasped, and then kissed her lips and spoke his words against them. “And they can’t wait to see you and make love to you, too.”
She smiled wide, and then they jumped into her shower together for another round of lovemaking before they headed to the McQuinn compound.

“What’s taking them so long to get here?” Pat asked as he sat down by the island in the kitchen, holding a can of beer.
“Is it just me or are you guys worried about her working at the company and being part of the investigation?” Reece asked.
“I’m worried. God knows how deep those dicks she works for are into this shit. I’ll be happy when it’s over and we can just move on with our lives with her. I want those assholes behind bars,” Rusty added.
“We can’t make her feel bad for still working there or make her nervous. Tobin assured us that she’s safe and that the investigation is really about her bosses and a connection to insurance fraud,” Reece said.
“I don’t really care, just as long as she’s safe and with us. I hope those investigators don’t try to pin any shit on her,” Pat said.
“Why would they do that when she’s helping them? She gave information about the files being altered, and thank God she was smart enough to take those screen shots,” Rusty said.
“You’re not kidding, or this could be a worse situation and they could look at her as part of this illegal operation,” Reece stated.
They all looked toward the door as they heard the truck pull up out front.
“Damn, it’s like having a first fucking date, but we’ve already fucked her, so why am I so damn nervous?” Pat rubbed his sweaty palms on his thighs.
“Because the last time you saw her, you pushed her away and made her feel like we didn’t want people to know she was our woman,” Reece told him, and Rusty chuckled as Pat growled low. Reece smirked. But then the door opened, and Tobin and Brighid entered.
“Damn, baby, I missed you.” Reece pulled her close and kissed her deeply.
Pat watched, feeling his cock instantly harden at the sight of her. She was fucking perfection from her sexy eyes to that luscious, curvy body.
She pulled back. “Where is your sling?”
“I don’t need it.”
Rusty stepped forward and pulled her into his arms. “He needs it, but he won’t use it.” He rolled his eyes at Reece and then smiled at Brighid as he cupped her cheek and held her at her waist.
