Free Cuffed for Pleasure by Lacey Thorn Page B

her to see all three of them on her doorstep. They’d scared the hell out of her with the way they looked around and didn’t seem to want to talk to her. Her heart had almost stopped with the fear they were there to end things. Finally, she hadn’t been able to take it.
    “Just tell me,” she practically begged.
    “This isn’t working,” Tanner began, and she’d embarrassed the hell out of herself by bursting into tears.
    “Nice going, asshole,” Mitch said and pulled her to his chest.
    “What?” Tanner looked shocked at her tears.
    “I think you just made her think we didn’t want to see her anymore,” Dylan offered, reaching out to cup her cheek and lift her face to look at him. “Not true. We don’t ever want this to end.”
    “What?” She shook her head, trying to clear the fear out. “What isn’t working then?”
    “This going between houses all the time. Your apartment isn’t big enough for all of us at the same time, so we have to take turns, and it makes us all grouchy,” Mitch informed her.
    “Especially the two left out.” Dylan wiggled his brows at her.
    “What I’m trying to say,” Tanner began again.
    “And doing a poor job of,” Mitch interrupted. “It’s amazing she ever agreed to dinner with you doing the asking.”
    “Told you we shouldn’t have let him ask.” Dylan shook his head.
    Tanner glared and Mandy laughed.
    “What are you trying to say?” she prompted.
    “We want you to move in with us,” Dylan answered first. “You can put your stuff wherever you want. Take over one of our rooms as your own if you want to or share all of them. You can do whatever you want. Change anything and everything. Just move in with us.”
    “You want me to move in?” She couldn’t believe her ears. She’d wanted this since the first time she’d left. She just wanted to be with them. Always.
    “Yes,” three voices answered her.
    “We’ll figure it out and make it work,” Tanner promised.
    “We need you,” Mitch vowed.
    “We want you,” Dylan said.
    They all three looked at each other and seemed to be having a silent conversation.
    “What?” she demanded when they kept silent. There was something they weren’t telling her.
    “I love you,” three voices said the three words every woman longed to hear from the man of her dreams.
    More tears trickled down her cheeks. She wanted to pinch herself just to make sure she wasn’t asleep. But Mitch’s arms were solid as they held her close. Dylan’s touch was all too real when he leaned in to kiss her. Then Tanner was there, and she was cocooned by the three of them. It was real. Her dreams had been answered.
    “I love you too.” She couldn’t hold the words back.
    “She’s talking to me,” Dylan informed them.
    “Nah, that was meant for me,” Mitch assured them.
    “You two only wish she was talking to you,” Tanner stated.
    Mandy had laughed. She had thought they might end up in a naked tangle on her living room floor.
    Instead, Dylan had pulled back first. “I’ll start grabbing boxes.”
    “I’ll help,” Mitch said, and they both headed to her door.
    “Boxes?” She turned to ask Tanner as the other two left.
    “We prepared just in case you agreed to move in. You did agree, right? I mean, you love us. We love you. It just makes sense to move in.”
    She nodded and felt her heart tug at the look of relief on his face. “I’d love to move in with you guys.”
    “We were really hoping you’d say that. So we came prepared to move as much of your stuff as we could today.”
    “Today?”
    “No time like the present,” Tanner answered with a grin. “Besides,” he pulled her into his arms. “Haven’t we waited long enough?”
    “Yeah,” she agreed just before he took her under with his kiss.
    “Hey, none of that unless we all get some.” Dylan’s voice interrupted them as he and Mitch walked back in with a huge stack of boxes.
    “I’ve got the tape to use when we put them together. That way the
