raised her head to look at the three men.
 I m not afraid of you, Rachel stated quietly, her gaze never
wavering from the three men in front of her.
 It may not be us you re afraid of, darlin , but something is
scaring the shit out of you. Do you want to talk about it? asked Sam.
 I think I would like to get to know you better, before I reveal all
the secrets in my closet.
 Fair enough, but just a word of warning, sweetheart. Don t try
and run, because there is no place you can run to where we won t be
able to find you. We need to know you re safe, Rachel. We feel a
connection to you, and I know you feel that connection, too, Damon
said, giving Rachel a look so heated she nearly fell off her chair.
Rachel had to rub her thighs together to relieve the ache in her
pussy. Not that it did much to relieve her throbbing, dripping pussy,
but she d had to try anyway. She must have squirmed a little in her
seat, because the looks the three Osborn brothers were giving her
went from heated to downright volcanic in the blink of an eye. Their
lascivious grins were all too knowing for her liking. Rachel quickly
lowered her eyes, picked up her mug, and took a gulp. She nearly
choked on the foul-tasting tea, jumped up from her chair, and was in
the kitchen pouring herself a much-needed and better-tasting cup of
coffee.
 You won t be able to sleep if you drink that, sugar, Tyson called
over to her.
 I won t be able to sleep anymore anyway, so I may as well drink
something that doesn t taste like day-old dishwater. Why don t you
three go back to bed? There s no point in all of us losing sleep.
Besides, I ll just go read for a while. Good night. I m sorry I woke
you.
Rachel could feel the three Osborn brothers watching her and
couldn t help the naughty extra sway she put into her hips. She
usually wasn t one to tease, but for some reason she couldn t seem to

help herself around those three sexy men.

Rachel was up and about before any of the men. She was
showered and dressed, feeling fresh in slacks and shirt, her hair tied
back in a braid. She had a fresh pot of coffee already brewed and had
started fixing bacon and eggs before she heard movement down the
hall. Wary, she looked up and gave a smile to Sam and Damon as they
sauntered into the kitchen, heading straight for the coffee. She looked
back toward the door, wondering where Tyson was. Damon must have
seen her curiosity.
 Ty will sleep in this morning since he has to be at the hotel until
late tonight. So don t worry about breakfast for him, baby. You know
you don t have to cook for us all the time. You re leasing a room from
us, Rachel. We didn t hire you to be our cook or housekeeper.
 I know, but I like cooking. I haven t had much of a chance to
cook recently.
 As much as we don t expect you to cook for us all the time,
darlin , feel free to do so whenever you want, Sam stated, and
Rachel heard him take a deep sniff then groan loudly.  I can t
remember the last time someone cooked me bacon and eggs, darlin .
You re going to spoil us if you keep this up.
 Well, I m not promising to cook all the time, but I will definitely
do my share, Rachel replied with a smile as she served up the food.
They sat around the table in companionable silence, the only
sound clinking silverware on plates. Rachel had served herself a
portion a quarter of the size of the men, but they still finished before
she was done. Since she hadn t been eating regular meals, she was
satisfied long before her plate was half-empty. She pushed the
remnants of her breakfast aside and picked up her coffee mug,
cradling it in her hands, the warmth seeping into her cold, nerveless
fingers. She was still not sure if she had done the right thing by
Her Ex-Marines 35
getting a job in the Slick Rock Sheriff s Office, but she didn t have
much of a choice.
 You don t eat enough, baby, Damon said, eying her half-eaten
meal.  You hardly ate anything last night either. You re going to need
to keep your strength up to deal with all the office work Luke and I
have for you.
 I m fine. I ve eaten enough for me. If I get hungry later, then I ll
get something else to eat, Rachel stated then gulped down the last of
her coffee.
She stood and began clearing the table, thankful when Sam and
Damon rose to help her. They had the kitchen set to rights in no time. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
