Free Awakened by Lacey Roberts

with two men, Phoebe, but you are glowing. You look happy. Go for it despite what others may think. They are good men and they will treat you the way you should be treated. Tony and I can see they both love you.”
    The statement had floored Phoebe. Her bosses thought Alistair and Linc loved her? It had given her a warm feeling inside to know the four most important men in her life liked and approved of each other.
    Other nights they had spent in the apartment, cuddling on the couch, watching movies or talking for hours. She’d been kissed senseless. Their hands had explored her body causing her nipples to pebble and heat to flood her belly and core. There was absolutely no doubt in her mind now, she was in love with both men. And, they showed her every day how much they adored her.
    Now, after three weeks, she sat on the balcony, deep in thought, and made the biggest decision of her life. Linc and Alistair were at the gym taking care of regular clients. She couldn’t wait for them to arrive home.
    Savannah, the housekeeper, had helped her to set up the table for a romantic dinner. Candles were placed ready for lighting and crystal wine glasses were in place. The chicken she had roasting sent out delicious aromas to fill the apartment. Vegetables had now joined the chicken. Oysters were plated with a curl of raw salmon on top then a dollop of fresh cream decorated with fresh caviar. Dessert would be something extra special. She smiled, she wasn’t at all nervous.
    She must have dozed off for the next thing she knew, warm lips were being pressed against hers. “Come inside, sweetheart. It’s cool out here,” Linc whispered.
    Her eyes flickered open, it was dark and as Linc had said, she felt cool. He assisted her to stand but before she could move, Alistair had her pulled against his rock hard chest. His lips covered hers.
    When he released her, she lifted her eyes. “What was that for?”
    “For creating those delicious smells to come home to.” Alistair made no secret of the fact that he loved his food.
    Phoebe laughed as they entered the apartment.
    Linc slid the door closed behind them.
    Both men followed her to the kitchen. They hovered over her as she checked the chicken and she saw them licking their lips. “It’s pretty much ready. Have a seat at the table and I’ll get the entrees.”
    “I’ll get the wine,” Linc said as he crossed to the liquor cabinet. He pulled out a bottle of his favorite Cabernet Sauvignon.
    Alistair had found a lighter in a top cupboard in the kitchen and the candles were now burning brightly. He was sitting, eagerly awaiting what Phoebe had prepared for them. It was the first time she had cooked for her men and she was looking forward to them sampling her offerings. All, her offerings.
    “The table is beautiful, sweetheart.” Linc complimented as he opened the wine and poured a little into each of their glasses.
    “Savannah helped. I like having her around. She is so nice.” Phoebe said as she carried two entrees to the table. She set one in front of each man before returning for her own from the kitchen and joining them.
    Alistair moaned as he swallowed his first oyster/salmon combination. “Oh my God. I have to have these every day.”
    “I must agree.” Linc said. “They are heavenly.”
    “Thank you.” Phoebe was elated they liked what she had made.
    Linc carved the juicy roast chicken. Phoebe served it with perfectly roasted vegetables and a homemade sauce of chicken stock, garlic and cream sauce. The men praised every mouthful. Alistair insisted his taste buds were dancing with delight.
    Phoebe cleaned the table while the men finished their wine. She had refused all offers of help.
    When she returned to the table, she stood by nervously twisting her wine glass in her hands.
    Linc asked, “What’s for dessert. After the first two courses I know it’s going to be spectacular.”
    “I think we are going to have to keep you hostage so you can cook for us more
