“It’ll mean more once you choose me.”
I can feel the storm building, getting closer as I turn and face the direction my heart used to live and wait. Lightning flashes and lights up the heavens again, and there they are. Outlined on the hill are three men sitting on horses looking my way.
My rough farm boy became a lawyer. A small smile tugs at one corner of my lips.
“I’m so sorry, Daddy! I should have called more. I should have come home before it was too late.”
– but there's a few things I need to know. You need to tell me why you left. You owe me that much.”
“I don’t owe you anything. It’s in the past, Chase. Let it go.” “Like hell, I will. The last time I saw you, you were in my lap looking up at me with stars in your eyes, and then you were just gone without a word, without a goodbye, without an explanation! You need to tell me why, Rain.”
Rex scowls and shakes his head. “Bull…shit! I know you want to keep that wall you built tall and steady but don’t lie to yourself, Chase, or at least don’t lie to me. We knew everything there was to know about that girl. The three of us loved her with every breath we took. Nothing about her disappearing made sense back then, and it still doesn’t. I can pretend to hate her as much as you, but that doesn’t change the hole she left. A hole I still feel every fucking day. We deserve to know what happened! I need some fucking closure so maybe I can finally move the fuck on from her. Even after all

I feel the whole vibe change, and a shiver runs down my back. I know it has nothing to do with the weather as my white blouse is sticking to my skin from the warm, humid air. I don’t even have to turn around to know that the Kingston men have arrived.
“What can I say, he’s a va-gician. Seriously, he’s got a magic dick. The vag wants what the vag wants.”
“Oh, Luke, no. You weren’t made for war,” I whisper. His finger drags to the side and off of my skin, leaving goosebumps in its stead. “And you weren’t meant to leave me.”
‘If in ten years' time, I’m still on your mind, would you call and, say you want this?’
“It could be twenty years, Stormy. You’ll always be on my mind. That won’t ever change,”
“You’re wrong. That girl died the minute I walked away from you all.”
“She said, ‘Run out of town with just a pack on her back.’ What if it wasn’t that she’d run away but that she was run out of town instead?”
She manages a tight smile our way and then goes back inside, leaving me to figure out how to make this right, how to fix something that I don’t know can be fixed. I want there to be a way because one thing hasn’t changed after all these years. I’m still completely in love with Rain Rawlins.
He does that hot boy move where he reaches behind his head and pulls his shirt up and over and off. What I see tells me Luke doesn’t just have the hot boy move; he’s turned into a hot man. Muscles flex under golden skin, and his dog tags clink as he pushes his jeans down so he’s left in just a pair of boxers, and then he slides past me into the bed.
“I didn’t need you to save me, Sunshine. I just needed you to stay.”
Fuck me, what is it about guys and backward baseball caps that just scream, ‘Get that head between my legs’?
Witch by Devon Cole
He groans at seeing my bare back and curses, “Fuck me!” I toss over my shoulder, “In your dreams, cowboy.” “Every damn day of my life since you turned sixteen, baby.”
“Let’s start with a plate of lazy tacos!” I scratch the scruff on my jaw and pull the brim of my cap down snugly against the back of my head as I try and work out what he’s asking for or if he’s just been dropped on his head too many times as a child. Maggie takes pity on me with an eye roll and says, “Nachos, he means nachos, Rex.” I shoot a “why” look at Hett, who just laughs. “What? Nachos are just lazy tacos that don’t have their shit together.”
The worn denim is doing the Lord’s work as it perfectly hugs his ass. All the Miss Independence vibes I’ve been rocking all day slide away until I want nothing more than for him to order me to my knees and do dirty, dirty things to me.
“Gotta say, I was sad when you left town, so I couldn’t stare at your perfect ass anymore, but I wasn’t mad that you stuck it to the Kingston boys.” He leans close, and I can smell the whiskey on his breath. “Now that you’ve shook those dogs off, what say you and I…” “Get your fucking hand off her before I break it.” The threat isn’t yelled, it’s growled with so much banked rage that it shocks me when I turn my head and see that it came from Chase. Blain chuckles darkly. “I guess you do still have them on a leash, Rainy girl. How boring.”
She arches a brow at me, and we have another silent conversation. “You should totally hit that!” “Fuck off.” “Seriously, no strings – just lots of orgasms.” “Shut up, Mags!” Hetter sticks his head between the two of us and looks between our faces and then over to Chase. “What do you think they’re saying to each other when they do that lady Jedi trick?” Chase mumbles, “Who fucking knows.”
I had a friend I did this with too and the boys always hated it! Lolol
“I’ll take anything you’re willing to give to me. Anything. I’m yours, and I’ll always be yours.”
I don’t even know if it’s to push him away or pull him closer, but it doesn’t matter when he opens those predator eyes of his and growls. “Lay down. You said I could take it. This is mine, so lay down and let me take it all.”
“Wha-what? Luke? You’ve never…you’ve never had sex before?” That predator look is back in his eyes when he says, “Why would I? This is home.”
He pulls back to look down at where we’re joined and asks in a low voice, “Do you see? Do you see I’m right where I belong, Rain? Can you feel it? Can you feel the way your body grips me, tries to keep me, and pulls me deeper? I knew it would be like this. This is the only pussy that will ever wrap around my cock.”
“You…could…have…died! You promised me, Rex.” His hands drop away from me, and he steps back with a deep frown covering his face. He rubs at the stubble on his square jaw as his hair falls in front of one eye. “Well, you promised to be my wife. You broke yours, so I broke mine.”
“Hold on, baby. I’m gonna eat you like a pudding cup I don’t have a spoon for,”
“She was meant to be my fucking WIFE!” Saying it out loud, saying what’s been driving me into the dark all these years, has all the anger draining right back out of me, and I slump against the counter. Silence reigns between us, and surprisingly it’s Luke that finally breaks it. “She was meant to be my wife…too.” Rex nods with a sad expression. “And mine.”
“Rain-bow ain’t going to want more from any of you unless you actually offer more. She was never going to choose just one of you. The four of you belong together, all of you.” When all three of us just gape at him, he rolls his eyes with a huff. “It’s 2023, you dumb fucks. Polynomial is a thing, look it up!”
“Life is like a dick. Sometimes, it’s up, sometimes it’s down. It’s not going to be hard forever so just ride it out until you find that special woman that’ll love you even when your dick’s down. That’s the one you keep, fellas!”
My eyes get misty when I remember the ultimate jokester bawling like a baby as Maggie walked down the aisle toward him in her simple satin wedding gown. I was breathless when she handed her bouquet off to me and turned to cup his wet cheeks in her hands. Their love shone from eyes they couldn’t peel away from each other as she said with a soft smile, “I got you, babe.”
“Do you remember our wedding day?” he whispers, and my lips pull up into a soft smile. “How can I forget? Two of my grooms came to blows as soon as our vows were said over who would get to kiss the bride first. While you and Rex were rolling around in the dirt, Luke snuck in and beat you both to it. That was my first kiss too. I’ll never forget it.”
Bound to You by Jocelyn Alice
I shift in my seat to ease the pressure of the half-hard dick in my dress pants. Luke said Rain was open to both of us staying at her place tonight, and I haven’t been able to think of anything else since. She and I have done some things together since the pool table incident, but it’s been mostly heavy make-out sessions and a few instances of oral, both ways. It’s been amazing, and I feel like a fucking teenager around her most days, but tonight… tonight I’m going to feel that perfect pussy squeeze and milk my cock as I…we, make her come.
“I love you, Rain. You’re mine. You’re ours,” he tells me, glancing past me at Rex, and I hear him echo it. “You’ve always been ours, baby. I love you so fucking much.”
I carefully wiggle down between them until I can slip off the bed. I turn back to look and stifle a laugh when I see how close Rex’s face is now to Luke’s dick. I consider leaving him to wake up to that view but take pity on them and slide a pillow between them that Rex grabs and rolls with to his other side.
