you’re trying to put into me? I’ll be more broken than I am now.”
Never in his life had Nate felt as hopeless as he did in that moment.
* * * * * * *
Hearing those words from her mouth nearly gutted Ty; he didn’t know what to say. So he did what any red-blooded Texan would do—pulled her off that treadmill she hadn’t stopped walking on since he startled her, and slammed his mouth down on hers. Slipping his tongue in her mouth at her gasp of surprise, he took it easy and did a slow sweep of her mouth. Leaving no crevice untouched. When she melted against him and grabbed his biceps, he knew he could finally plunder the way he wanted. She tasted like the richest chocolate, and her coffee from this morning. Putting one hand under her hair at the back of her neck and one in the small of her back, he pulled her body up and closer. Feeling her soft curves against his hard body just made his cock harder, but when she moaned and whimpered, he felt like a king.
Feeling her tense slightly, he was going to slow down and pull away until he heard Nate whisper in her ear, “You look perfect moaning into my brother’s mouth Butterfly, now turn around and give me some of that sweet surrender.” She didn’t even hesitate, just turned and did Nate’s bidding. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she whimpered and started gyrating on his brother. Pressing himself closer to her, Ty buried his face in the side of her neck and just breathed her in. She was intoxicating. When she started pulling away from Nate they let her, not wanting to overwhelm her by forcing her to do something she wasn’t ready for.
“Wow.” She breathed out.
“You alright, Butterfly? We didn’t push you too far did we?” Nate asked her while running his hands through her dark tresses.
“No. I mean, it was nice.” She smiled.
“Keeley, I need you to know that what you said, it’s not true. Not to us or anybody that knows you or has ever met you. You’re special. You have an inner light that’s just dying to break out, but what your parents did, whatever it was, that’s on them not you, never you. Ok?” Nate explained to her, cupping her cheeks and staring deeply into her eyes so she knew the words he said were one hundred percent truth. She nodded her head at him, but Nate still saw the doubt in her eyes. With that though, he saw something else, too. Something he had yet to see in her… Hope.
“C’mon, let’s go make some lunch. I can hear your stomach rumbling, and Ty can tell us what was so important that he had to go into work, when we aren’t due back for a few more days.” Missing Ty’s look of apprehension, Nate grabbed Keeley’s hand to pull her upstairs. Getting her settled on a stool by the breakfast bar, Nate started pulling deli meat and everything to make a double decker sandwich out of the fridge, and put it on the counter. Grabbing a beer from the fridge he looked at Ty. Tossing it to him at his nod, Nate grabbed one for himself. “Alright Ty, start talking. What was up?”

Watching Nathaniel work in the kitchen was one of the sexiest things Keeley had ever seen. It was only sandwiches, but watching him do something so domestic was as alluring as anything she’d ever known. She was so into watching him that she hadn’t felt Tyler move in behind her until he wrapped his arms around her waist, after putting his beer bottle on the counter. Looking back at him and smiling, she went back to watching Nathaniel make lunch while Tyler told them what happened to make him go into work.
“So Julia called, and umm, Tawnya was there,” Tyler revealed a little apprehensively before continuing. “She said she was going to sick Cooper on her viperous ass if I didn’t hurry up.”
“Oh, shit.”
“Ya, dude, but that’s not what I said when I got there. Coop had her in a headlock, with scratches down his face. Lord knows how that happened.”
“Ok, so what happened? You weren’t gone too long, so I assume
