Mackie's Men by Lynn Ray Lewis Page B

was you. You are probably the most capable woman I’ve met to date, and if anyone can protect herself and others, it has to be you. So I’m sorry you got dragged into our drama, but I swear I’ll protect you with my life, and from the little I do know about you, I’m comfortable with knowing you would kill to protect your allies, and the people that you care about.”
    John spoke up, still staring at her as if gauging her reactions were important to him. “You need to know a few other things. The three of us have an unusual relationship. We have also found that the three of us find you attractive. No matter how I put this it is going to sound strange to you, and I don’t blame you if you have a hard time believing me.”
    Mackie knew that her mouth was hanging open, but what did they expect, to toss that snippet of information in the works?
    “No one is saying that we fell head-over-heels-in love at first glance, that’s absurd. The truth of the matter is that you interest us, and yes, I am speaking for all three of us. There you stood with a gun pointed at Liam and you would have shot him if our guy hadn’t taken you out first. I was semi hard in seconds seeing that 1911 in your hand. I was ready to kill Tyler for shooting you. Liam carried you into the house and helped me undress you. Do you want to know what happened? The sick fucker had a full on hard-on by the time we were done. And I’m not leaving Darryl here out of it. I thought he was going to crawl across the floor and beg the Mistress of Toys that go Boom for permission to kiss your ass. We are all a little crazy, and we’re all different than your run of the mill men. Let’s face it, you are strong, you have guts, and you are an idealist like each of us are, do you have any idea of how attractive that is for men like us? Any man with blood flowing in his veins would be attracted to you.”
    He finally smiled and winked at her. She had to look away from that panty wetting grin. That only sent her eyes to see Darryl and Liam both smiling at her as she looked at them in turn.
    “The three of us have an intimate relationship, it is a closed group and no other men are allowed, ever. We have intimate relationships with women separately, and we have upon occasion enjoyed passing a night with a woman who liked the idea of having three men to fulfill her fantasies for an evening. There has never been a permanent woman in our lives due to the fact that we have never actually agreed on one woman between the three of us.”
    John shrugged and looked away for a second and came back to her with the words that told her this was not a ruse. This was real, and she had no idea how to respond.
    “We want you, scars and bravery, gadgets, and bossiness. Even that damned cat will be welcomed if you insist on bringing him along. We will do our best to lure you into our lives and hearts. You will be treasured for the rest of our lives, and if you decide you might like a few little clones running around, well, we will know that their mother will protect them with every breath.”
    Good Lord, this was one of her own fantasies come to life, but what on earth were they thinking? Liam Klinger wasn’t exactly low profile, and Darryl Reynolds was well known too. They were almost public figures. John Fielding wasn’t as recognizable, but how in the hell would they pull off sharing one woman between the three of them?
    “So, just so I have this right. The three of you were discussing me, and my worthiness as a fourth in this strange ménage of lovers?” Nods came her way from the three men. “You have decided that I am an ideal candidate because I have a stupid trait of trying to protect those who I consider vulnerable at the time, like Eric and his family. Yes, I can see the reasoning, but I am not buying the attraction. I have so many scars that I don’t even own a swimsuit. The last doctor I saw referred me to a plastic surgeon to take care of the unsightly appearance of my
