the question. They disliked their brother Bryant and his treatment of them. It was understandable.
    “What do you mean?” She took a sip of water.
    “Bryant? How was it?” Quinn asked.
    “Did he say anything or do anything to hurt you?” Blake asked as he moved his chair closer to her and held her legs between his legs. He caressed her thighs, and she locked gazes with him. Blake’s blue eyes held a seriousness she was getting used to recognizing. He was concerned.
    “He’s a bit rough around the edges. but it wasn’t terrible.”
    “Did he try anything?” Quinn asked.
    “Quinn, he’s your brother, and no he didn’t try anything aside from a few insulting comments and his failed attempts to get rid of me.”
    “If he upset you, you don’t have to go back. Matter of fact, we would prefer if you didn’t,” Blake told her as he inched closer so now his hands rubbed farther up her thighs.
    “I’m a big girl, Blake. He needs the help. The place was a mess, and he hasn’t been eating well. I think this will do him good.”
    Blake shook his head.
    “We don’t want you there. We don’t know what he’s capable of,” Quinn stated.
    They were being bossy again, and she wasn’t in the mood. She stood up, and Blake held her hips so she couldn’t move.
    “Blake, I’m tired and I’m really not in the mood for your whole bossing-around attitude.”
    “Bossing-around attitude? Listen, we were worried about you all day. Before we knew that you were at Bryant’s, we thought you left town.”
    She could tell Blake was truly upset. She touched his cheek.
    “There’s no other place for me to go right now. Not without money, anyway,” she added. He stood up and pulled her against him.
    “You can’t leave us. We won’t let you go, Lena,” Blake stated. His hold was firm around her waist, and her heart rejoiced in hope that he really wanted her but she still had that feeling of foreboding inside.
    “You feel the attraction we all share, Lena. You came in our arms remember?” he whispered then lowered his mouth to hers. He kissed her deeply, and instantly she was under Blake’s spell. The feel of his hands caressing her lower back while he explored her mouth with his tongue was pure pleasure. When she felt Quinn’s hands on her shoulders massaging the tight muscles, she relaxed even more. Blake released her lips but continued to kiss along her neck as Quinn tilted her head sideways so he could kiss her next.
    It was overwhelming.
    Quinn nibbled on her bottom lip before he released her lips and caressed his thumb over her lower lip. Blake stared down at her.
    “So sweet and beautiful. Give this a chance, Lena, we promise we won’t hurt you.”
    “What exactly are you asking for?” she asked them.
    “Invite us inside, Lena, and we’ll show you how amazing this can be between us,” Blake whispered as he rubbed his thumbs back and forth across her hip bones.
    She took a deep breath. As much as her body craved more of their touch, she just wasn’t ready for such a move. She took both Blake’s hand and Quinn’s hand up to her lips. She held them there and gently kissed Blake’s hand on the knuckle and then Quinn’s hand while they stepped closer to her. The feel of two large, masculine bodies so close to her gave her a feeling of safety and security.
    “You make me want so much. I’m just not ready for that move yet. Please understand. This is all new to me. Everything I’ve done since arriving here has been a step toward a new life. A better life than what I had.”
    Blake reached up and touched her cheek as she released their other hands. She felt Quinn wrap his arms around her midsection from behind and lay his head on her shoulder.
    “We’ll wait for you, Lena. You are meant for us,” Blake stated.
