Maya’s Triple Dare(Divine Creek Ranch 6)(40)
“Ace and Kemp will get to the bottom of this and see what our options are. Kendall, Boone, and Richard, hopefully we can keep Maya’s name out of this altogether. Ace said he and Kemp should be back in town next week. How are things with Maya?”
Kendall met Jack’s eyes and replied for him and his brothers, “Good. She’s feeling better every day. I think she likes Divine. She loves the girls, judging by what I hear.”
“Think she might want to make a permanent move?” Adam asked quietly.
Kendall replied, “I think there’s a good possibility. We’re not rushing her to make a decision. Going at her pace like you suggested. She’s taken to Boone and Richard and seems very happy.”
“I can tell by the sappy grins on their faces they’re not disappointed about that at all,” Angel replied, drawing a chuckle from Boone and a downcast smile from Richard. No, Kendall didn’t think there was a disappointed bone in any of their bodies.

Maya glanced again at the three brothers leaning against the center island in the Warner’s kitchen. Every time one of their gazes landed on her, the heat of desire flamed higher inside of her. She thought she would’ve felt scared or at least nervous if it were any other men who looked at her that way. The love in their eyes tempered the lust that was kindled there.
She’d fallen asleep with her head resting in Boone’s lap the night before and had only vaguely remembered being carried to bed. The one thing she hoped to change tonight was that she’d be wide awake when she went to bed.
Jack called from the kitchen, where all the men were congregated, and said, “The food is ready, y’all.”
Maya looked up as Boone and Kendall came to stand beside the chair she was sitting in, both men laden with plates. Richard followed behind with four bottles of beer.
Kendall asked, “Want to sit outside?” There were several picnic benches under the shade of the live oaks in the backyard. Grace’s men followed her outside, and the others joined them. Boone led the way to a shady spot, and she took a seat next to him and across from Kendall and Richard. Nobody else joined them at their table.
She smiled at the pastoral scene surrounding them. In the side yard was a grove of tall oak trees, perfect for a party under the stars. To the rear of the property stood the two large red horse barns and the driveway connecting them to the foreman’s house where Kendall and his brothers lived. The whole place was situated on gentle rolling hills, much like the JWB was.
Kendall’s tone was serious and he watched her intently as he spoke. “We’ve been thinking, Maya.”
Maya stopped chewing as she looked at all three of them. Swallowing her food practically whole, she replied, “What’s the matter?”
Boone rubbed her shoulder gently as he said, “Nothing’s wrong, baby. Nothing at all.”
Kendall smiled and shook his head. “Sorry, that didn’t come out the way I intended. We’ve been thinking about you. Wondering if you’re ready to move on with us. Tonight.”
Relief swelled through her, followed by a wave of hot desire as her body responded ravenously to the suggestion. Finally. Finally! Feeling a little playful, she replied, “Sure. Where do you want to go?”
She froze, all friskiness forgotten when Boone gripped her ass cheek and squeezed. His lips brushed against her ear as he whispered, “You know exactly where we want to go. We want to lay you down on our bed and make you come until you’re hoarse from screaming. We want to make love to you until you can barely move. I personally want another taste of your creamy little pussy. You’re wet and hot right now just thinking about it, aren’t you?”
His dominant tone set off every nerve ending in her body. She wanted to strip naked right there and do whatever he commanded. She thought that part of her life, responding to a dominant male, was finished when Morgan had died so tragically in that hit-and-run accident. She’d told herself those days were over because what was the likelihood of her finding another man who got off on control like Morgan had?
She gazed up into his eyes, trying to express somehow, without words, how much what he was doing meant to her. She was thankful someone else understood this part of her.
He leaned close so only she could hear and whispered, “The look in your eyes right now sets me on fire, Maya. You like to give up control, don’t you? You’d like to put yourself in my hands.”
She nodded mutely, supper all but forgotten.
He smiled at her, looking very pleased and said, “Soon.”
Her cheeks heated up as their private exchange ended, and she looked at Kendall and Richard. They were eating and watching the two of them like the discussion was no big deal. They were all different, and so it made sense that what they each wanted with her might be different as well.
