Love Slave for Two: Reckoning [Love Slave for Two 4] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) by Tymber Dalton

any worse than regular summer thunderstorms.
    Nevvie had developed a pattern. Call Tommy, call Tyler, call the house. Swear under her breath. Call John and Kelly. Swear some more. Jacob and Kyle, followed by more swearing. Ending with Pete and Eddie.
    Must resist throwing phone against wall.
    Repeat.
    She felt too nervous and on edge to play video games with Adam. Instead, she sat on the couch with her Kindle in one hand and her phone in the other. Every few minutes, she’d look at her phone and will it to ring.
    A little before four o’clock, she looked at her phone. Ring, dammit!
    She let out a cry and nearly dropped it when it started vibrating in her hand. The screen read Tyler .
    With trembling fingers, she answered. “Ty? Is that you?”
    He laughed, the most beautiful sound in the world. “Yes, love, it’s me. Were you expecting someone else?”
    “Oh my god, are you all okay? I’ve been so worried, I’ve been trying to call and—”
    “Love, let me get a word in edgewise. We’re all fine. Our house is fine except for some roof shingles, although we suspect John and Kelly’s house might not have fared as well. Everyone is still here, and we’re all healthy and safe.”
    Everyone was staring at her. Adam had paused the game. “See, Momma? Told you they’d call.”
    She burst out laughing and crying at the same time. “Yes, baby, you did say they’d call. They’re all fine, and our house is fine,” she said to everyone before she got up and walked to the kitchen. “I love you guys so much. I’ve been worried sick about you.”
    “We love you, too.” That was Tom. “Sorry we haven’t been able to update you.” Tyler had it on speaker mode. “Like Ty said, it’s been a bitch and a half trying to get a call out. The house line is dead.”
    “Have you gotten any of my texts?”
    “No,” Tom said. “And when we try to send texts, it says it fails.”
    Tyler chimed in. “So don’t panic if you can’t get in touch with us, love.”
    She heard a noise in the doorway behind her and turned to see Laurie standing there, listening. Nevvie waved her in and put her arm around her shoulder. “Guys, Laurie’s right here. Can you put Mom and Dad on for her?”
    “Sure,” Tom said. “Hold on.”
    Nevvie handed her the phone. A moment later, Laurie started to sniffle. “Mom? Dad? Are you all right?”
    Nevvie hugged her as she talked to them. After a few minutes, she said, “Okay. Love you, too. Here she is.” Wiping at her eyes with her spare hand, Laurie handed the phone back to Nevvie.
    “Mom? Dad?”
    “Hey,” Kelly said. “How are you all doing?”
    “We’re okay. Just worried to death about you guys.”
    “Quit worrying,” John said. “The worst is over. Well, the worst of the weather. I don’t know what our house will look like.”
    “We’re going to give you back to Tom and Tyler,” Kelly said. “We love you.”
    “Love you guys, too, Mom.”
    Her men came on the line. “Well, love,” Tyler said, “we’re going to let you go.”
    “I wish you wouldn’t.”
    “We’ll be up there as soon as we can. We need to get Eddie and Pete home once it’s safe, and see about Kyle and Jacob’s apartment.”
    “And Mom and Dad,” Tom added. “We got power and cable back this morning. From what we’ve seen on TV…well, that whole area got hit by a lot of flooding.”
    “Yeah, I saw that, too.” She took a deep breath. I need to put my big-girl panties on. “Well, please be safe and try to call again when you can.”
    “We will, love,” Tyler said. “Love you, and love to the boys.”
    “Love you guys,” Tom said. “Give them hugs and kisses for us. And Mom and Dad up there, too,” he added.
    Nevvie blinked away tears. “I will. Love you, too. Stay safe.”
    “We will,” Tom said. “We’ll try to call you again tonight, but if you don’t hear from us, don’t worry. Okay, baby girl?”
    “Okay.”
    “Love you. Bye.”
    “Bye.” She stared at the phone, then
