Maizy the Bear Charmer(Diving Creek Ranch 16)(112)

For Maizy, the last five days had gone by in a heavenly whirlwind. She’d spent most of the evenings with her bears, when they weren’t working. They’d even helped her when she’d had duties to attend to for Lucy’s wedding, like with picking up supplies and running errands with her.

Her neighbor, Mrs. Simms, had rushed over the night of the storm, when she’d gotten home later than usual, to make sure everything was all right. Maizy knew she was a little nosy but believed that was mostly due to loneliness. She’d seemed satisfied when Spencer had explained that they’d had to detour around low water crossings to come back into Divine. Maizy was pleased that her neighbor seemed to have taken a liking to Spencer.

Maizy’s worry over the wrong people finding out about her ménage relationship hadn’t decreased. How she approached the issue had, though. She’d made her decision and she was sticking with it. She’d even considered putting out feelers for opportunities in the private sector as an advanced tutor or private teacher. The possibilities weren’t limitless but she believed she could still stay in the field she was called to teach in. Ultimately, her main concern was her students and their parents. She wanted them to remain in the best possible hands and to keep learning and moving forward no matter what happened.

The bears had asked her to stay with them from Friday night through Sunday evening and she’d agreed, so she was looking forward to not having to drive home late at night. None of her neighbors would bat an eye if she was gone for the weekend. Several of them knew she had a family wedding and they’d probably all assume she was staying with her parents or friends to help with wedding prep.

Letting out a soft sigh, she turned her attention to Seth Carter, Lucy’s brother, when he rose from his seat. Seth was a quiet man, not prone to loquaciousness, so she didn’t know him that well yet. His many tattoos intrigued her. She’d often wondered how he’d come to know his wife, Jayne, who seemed so mainstream and reserved—unless she had a few tequila shots in her. Seth raised his glass to toast Lucy, Patrick, and Beck.

“I firmly believe that for everyone there is someone. We may have to go to the ends of the earth to find each other but it’s worth the trip. Sometimes love comes to us in nontraditional ways, and, Lucy, I think you’ve found the love you’ve searched so long for, with Patrick and Beck. I’m sure it’ll never be boring for you with Patrick, Beck, and PJ, but when have you ever wanted boring or ordinary? I wish you every happiness, sis.”

Lucy got up and hugged her brother with tears in her eyes as everyone clapped and shared the toast with them.

Later that night, curled up in Spencer’s arms after making love with him, Lucy hoped the same was true for her. Life would never be mundane, not with these three men in her life.

She was still awake when Cody and Heath slipped into the bedroom when they returned home from work. Spencer rolled over and made room for Heath since he still claimed “dibs” on sleeping at her side any night she spent with them, while Cody got into bed on her other side. When they pressed their lips to her throat and stroked her abdomen and her hip, it was only natural to reach for them, seeking their love as well.

The next morning she was out of bed before the men woke up. Cody joined her in the shower and took the bath puff from her as she lathered it and did the job for her while she washed and conditioned her hair. Once she was rinsed free of suds, he pressed her against the cool tile wall. A deep throb bloomed inside her at the way he caged her in with his immense, masculine physique and her pussy welled with hot moisture in response. He kissed her and his raspy voice echoed in the shower as he murmured, “What time do you have to be at Madeleine’s?”

“I’m meeting Lucy, her mom, Jayne, Grace, and my mom at eight o’clock. You and the guys are supposed to meet Rachel at nine, out at the ranch. Thank you again for helping with the last minute setup.”

He pressed kisses against her throat and she could feel the hot ridge of his cock pressing against her. “It’s no problem. I want you, angel.”

She wrapped her arms around his neck and let him lift her as she slid her legs around his waist. “I’m yours, Cody.” He plundered her lips as his cock filled her cunt, stretching her tight and thrusting his hot length until he was deep as he could get. He grasped her ass cheeks and lifted her so she was eye to eye with him and began thrusting with hard strokes. A rumbling sound of masculine appreciation vibrated in his chest as he gazed into her eyes. The vulnerability she saw there made her heart beat faster.
