incredible sensations they were creating in her body. “That’s right.
Let us fuck you.”
It was nothing like Sara had ever felt before. The pleasure was
completely overwhelming. There was nothing that she could do
except give in and be carried along with the swift current.
“Give her more, Ty. I want to feel her coming around us.”
Tyler closed his fingers around her nipples, pinching, and rolling
them. At the same time, he lifted his hips, smashing her clit against his pubic bone. Her pleasure spiked through the roof, and she cried
out.
Gage held her firm as the two men pumped harder into her
convulsing body. Her nails sank into Tyler’s shoulders, desperate for something to hold onto as she completely came apart around them.
She lost track of which voice belonged to which man as their heavy
breathing turned to masculine groans of pleasure. The strong
sensations seemed endless.
Eventually Sara became conscious of a warm rag being applied
between her legs. Gage was curled around her protectively as Tyler
cleaned them both up. He returned to the bed a moment later,
snuggling into her other side, and she fell asleep between them in a
cocoon of warmth and contentment.

Epilogue
Three Months Later
Sara squeezed Tyler’s hand, looking for reassurance, and he gave
it by pulling her closer into his side. The hard wood of the courtroom bench was uncomfortable against her back, and she had to restrain
herself from squirming. The sensible black suit that she’d purchased
for the occasion was surprisingly comfortable, but even so, she felt as if she was suffocating in it.
“Relax, Sara,” Tyler said. “It’s going to be okay.”
Sara wanted to believe him, but as she sat and waited for the jury
to return a verdict, her stomach became more and more knotted. What
if they didn’t believe her? What if they let Jeremy go?
The last three months had been some of the happiest of her life.
She’d moved in with Gage and Tyler, and the three of them had
established a comfortable life together. She’d wanted to go back to
work, and her supportive men had helped her to find a job. Her new
boss at the bank managed Tyler’s considerable assets, and he was
happy to start her as a teller. She wasn’t making much, but she was
contributing to the family, and that mattered to her. She was proud to be on her own two feet again.
Tyler had been by her side every moment in court. Not wanting to
encourage a negative opinion from the jury, Gage had been distant
from her in public, but she knew that he was with her in spirit. The
son of a senator, Tyler was just the better choice for a public face.
Detectives Ryder and Filley had come through for her as well doing
everything they could to help the prosecutor get a guilty verdict. She

couldn’t be more grateful for all of their help, but now the decision was left in the hands of twelve jurors.
Jeremy was being tried for two counts of attempted murder,
assault, and a lot of complicated inheritance and fraud charges
regarding her mother’s estate. Sara still didn’t understand all of the lawyer-speak, but the simple version was that a guilty verdict would
mean that Jeremy was going to jail for a minimum of ten years.
Sara’s stomach dropped to the floor as the jurors filed back into
the courtroom. Jeremy shot her a bone-chilling glare from across the
aisle. She stoically ignored him. He couldn’t hurt her any more.
She was so terrified that she didn’t even hear the verdict at first. It wasn’t until Tyler swept her off the ground in a congratulatory hug
that she finally registered the word
guilty
.
They took Jeremy out of the room in handcuffs, and she ignored
his threats and profanity. She would have to see him one more time at the hearing where they would determine his jail sentence, and he
would be present at the civil hearings regarding the house, but for all intents and purposes, he was out of her life for good. Besides, she had two strong men in her life now, and she was confident of their ability to protect her from anything.
“Let’s go home,” she said through her happy tears.
When they pulled up to the house, Tyler grabbed her hand and
pulled her toward the barn. “Gage and I have a congratulations
surprise for you,” he said.
Before she could even ask what it was, Gage had come out of the
back of the house and put his hands over her eyes. The three of them
laughed and tripped their way into the cool shade of the barn.
“Open your eyes,” Tyler said.
When she did, she saw the most beautiful brown mare leaning her
face over the door of the stall, trying to get a sniff of her. “Oh my God! For me?”
“For you,” Tyler said. “Her name is Chestnut, and I think she’s
going to be the perfect horse for you. Sweet with just enough spunk.”

Sara hugged them both as the tears fell from her eyes. “She’s
perfect. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
“Wanna go for a ride?”
“Yes!”
“On me or the horse?” Gage asked with a wink.
Sara turned in his arms and kissed him deeply. “Both. I want to try
out the horse first, but I’ll definitely be enjoying you two later.”
“We wouldn’t have it any other way,” they agreed.
