Lumberjack Weekend(Divine Creek Ranch 21)(54)

“What? One was enough,” she said as he held it up to her while the other men seated themselves.

“He wants to treat you, baby girl,” Josh said. “Part of this weekend was about indulging yourself a little.”

Violet looked at each of the four men in turn. “Well, I think it’s safe to say you know a lot more about me than I know about you.” Her cheeks flushed hot as she recalled how hot it’d made her to know they were watching her while she participated in her first true ménage, in the double penetration sense of the word. “What are your names?”

“I’m Carter,” said the blond, bearded man sitting beside Gabriel.

“I’m Roland,” said the next man in the group, a brawny man with large hands and dark brown crew cut. He looked as though he had a military background.

“I’m Greg,” said the last of the men, his bright blue eyes twinkling as he ogled her naked, painted breasts and the curves of her gray and white painted torso. His black hair fell over his forehead, and he grinned as he flicked it away. Clearly the trickster in the group. Confirmation came when she glanced up and saw Lucas squint at him, as if giving him a nonverbal warning to behave.

“I don’t mind if you sit with us, Gabriel, Carter, Roland, and Greg,” she said, practicing their names as she eyed each of them, hoping she didn’t forget or get them mixed up. “But you should know up front I’m not having sex with any of you, especially not…butt sex.”

It sounded as if Josh was trying to hold back his laughter, but she was quickly distracted when Gabriel held up a hand.

“We didn’t expect that. As a matter of fact, we thought perhaps if your group looked like it was full, so to speak, you wouldn’t be approached by any of the others.”

Violet tilted her head. “Why do you care?” She cringed and added, “That didn’t come out the way I meant it. I appreciate that you care, but why?”

Gabriel sighed and looked at his friends.

Carter nodded and then tilted his head back at her. “Tell her.”

Gabriel leaned forward and put his elbows on his knees. “This morning, when Joseph approached us about helping out with a chase and capture fantasy, we were willing to get involved. After all, it’s not only our fantasies we get off on, and it seemed like the kind of thing we’d enjoy. And…it was. You were totally into it, not like some of the…”

“What?” she asked, curious about his disgusted frown.

“Let’s just say some women’s ideas of fantasy fulfillment are having the men in their lives at their beck and call without any reciprocation. They don’t even attempt to get into the moment or to play the part.”

“Your fantasies didn’t pan out?”

Each man gave his own nonverbal response, some a shake of the head, others a noncommittal shrug of disappointment. Only Carter nodded, but then his brow knit. Had he discovered fantasy wasn’t always what it was like in his head? She hated the thought of leaving a hedonistic weekend like this disappointed, even though she barely knew these men.

“And how do I fit into your weekend?”

Gabriel grinned. “You were the best part, even though our roles were nonsexual—”

Greg held up a hand to interrupt. “Although we’re flexible, and we can take this to a totally sexual level if you say the word.”

“Greg,” Gabriel said with amused impatience in his voice.

“Just sayin’,” Greg replied with a grin directed at her.

Carter and Roland rolled their eyes, but their gazes told her they felt much the same way.

Gabriel sighed before continuing. “Now that you’ve heard from the horn dog in the crew, maybe I can finish what I was saying. We know this is the first time you’ve ever done anything like this—”

Josh said, “So you admit you were eavesdropping on our conversation with Joseph?”

Gabriel was quick to reply. “We were already on our way to ask about tonight, of him and of the two of you as well. Relax, Josh. If you’d let me finish, you’d know we only want to be here so she’s comfortable—

“Because obviously she’s comfortable with us around,” Greg interjected with devilry in his blue eyes.

Violet snorted, unable to hide her amusement and enjoyment of his irrepressible personality.

Gabriel shook his head in disgust. “Keep talking, smartass, and they’ll make us leave. Anyway, as I was saying, Violet, we know this is the first time you’ve ever been around a group like the one we’re a part of. We also overheard and, frankly, figured out this morning that you’d never tried double penetration before.”
