Knight, Kayla - Her Long Hot Surrender [Raw Texas Heat 3] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) by Kayla Knight Page A

drew her attention. Surely it would be greedy to have two strong, virile men all to herself? Her gaze drifted over him, noticing the knuckles of his one hand were bleeding badly.
    “You need a bandage for that.” She turned back to the house. “I’ll just—”
    Gabe put a hand on her shoulder, halting her progress. “Don’t worry yourself, Madi. It’s just a scratch.”
    If that was a scratch, then God knows what he thought was serious. She supposed it came from working the land, that sense of bravado that all cowboys seemed to have. She’d seen it a hundred times before, at the local fairs and rodeos that she and her father had attended when he was the mayor of Buffalo Springs. When they’d been bucked off a horse, or savaged by a bull, they just seemed to pick themselves up and dust themselves down as if nothing had happened. At the time she’d dismissed them as being too dumb to notice, or too far down the evolutionary scale to care. Growing up, her opinion of cowboys was that they were one step above Neanderthals.
    Now she felt different. Perhaps, her mother’s revelations about her humble ancestry had gone some way to change the way she thought. Carson had had a part to play, too. She’d seen corruption at the highest level. Wealthy people were not always the obvious leaders. They were naturally inclined to put profit and the pursuit of wealth before doing the right thing.
    She slipped inside the plush interior, making herself comfortable. It would be a six-hour drive to Lubbock. Gabe sat in the driver’s seat next to her. His heady aftershave assaulting her senses in the enclosed space. My, he smells good. He was so close, too, his broad shoulders and long legs truly irresistible. She could no more drag her gaze away than stop breathing. After putting her bags in the trunk, Tyler sat in the back. She guessed he and Gabe would share the driving, so she’d get the chance to sit next to him, too. Madison flipped the sun visor down and adjusted her hair and makeup in the mirror. “Want to look my best.”
    Gabe swung the SUV out onto the road, and headed toward the interstate. “Lubbock, here we come, honey.”
    “I’ve booked us two rooms at the Embassy Suites,” she told them. “They didn’t come cheap, but you boys have done such a good job repairing my roof. You wouldn’t take any payment, so I’ve decided to treat you, treat us all.”
    “Tell me they’re next to each other, honey,” Tyler sounded hopeful.
    She could see his beautiful smile in the sun visor mirror. Maybe she’d tease them some more. “They’re on separate floors, sorry.”
    “Aw, Madi. Why?” Tyler’s smile disappeared as quickly as it came.
    Madison smiled knowingly. “All right, I’m just teasing. If you must know, they’re right next to each other.” She could feel her heart beating rapidly in her chest. Christ, these cowboys turned her on.
    “Now that’s more like it,” Gabe said as he drove the SUV through a green light.
    “It also has an interconnecting door,” she whispered nonchalantly, staring out the passenger window, a mischievous smile to her face.
    “Even better,” Tyler agreed from the backseat.
    “The real tease is—I’m the only one who has a key. So the decision will be mine if I let you through or not.” A deep-seated ache speared her pussy. There was no way she’d give in too easily. They had to understand it was her decision, and hers alone. One that she wouldn’t take lightly. There was a lot at stake, including her reputation if word were ever to get out.
    Gabe lifted her hand from her lap and pressed it to his lips, sending a thrill of anticipation through her. “We’re just glad you’ve invited us along. Whatever happens will be fine with us.” He looked in his rearview mirror. “Isn’t that right, Ty?”
    Tyler leaned forward in his seat. He brushed a hand through her hair, making her feel relaxed. “You bet, Madi. We’ll all have a great time, either way.”
