stroked a finger down her hot cheek. “Why are you uncomfortable, Janie?”
“I don’t know,” she whispered in reply.
“Yes, you do, baby. Answer Seton,” Wolf commanded.
“I can’t believe I just did that.”
“What? Let Lander love you while we watched?” Seton asked.
Janie tried to lower her head again, but Seton reached out and cupped her chin, preventing the action.
“Why are you uncomfortable now? We asked you if this was what you wanted before we even started. Talk to us, sugar, help us understand,” Seton said gently.
“I don’t do things like this. I’ve only ever had one serious relationship. I’ve never thought of having more than one man, let alone three.”
“Baby, we have known since we did our training that we were all attracted to the same women. I don’t know if that is because of the experiments we volunteered for or maybe the cocktail of drugs and hormones we were given, but after fighting over a couple of women, we decided that we would have to put our competitiveness aside and share. We love that we can all be in the same room and watch each other touch you, love you. It adds to the excitement for us, and with all of us watching, we are more aware of how you react. If you don’t like something, then one of us will notice and stop the other, if you do then it works the opposite way,” Wolf explained.
“But I don’t see how this can work. I mean, what happens if one of you gets jealous? I couldn’t live with causing a rift between the three of you. You’re family, and to me, family is the most important thing in the world.”
“Family is important to us, too, sugar,” Seton replied. “We lost our parents at a young age and all signed up at the same time. We met the rest of the team, and they have become our family.”
“We want you to stay and see where this thing between us will go, Janie. Please, stay with us?” Lander asked pleadingly.
“I don’t know what to think. I’m so confused. What do I tell my parents? They are so old fashioned, I don’t want to hurt them,” Janie sobbed. “But I don’t want to leave either.”
Seton reached out and pulled her into his arms. She tried to push him away, but he only hugged her more firmly, not letting her get away from him. Janie had never been a crier or felt so torn and emotional in her life, but she was so conflicted she felt as if she was going insane. What the hell am I going to do?
Chapter Four
“Fuck. How the hell do we convince her to stay here with us?” Wolf asked with frustration. He kept his voice low so as not to disturb Janie, sound asleep in Seton’s arms. He watched her face as she slept, heartbroken by the tears drying on her soft skin.
“We can’t, Wolf. It’s up to Janie to decide what she wants to do,” Seton replied.
“I hate that she’s so upset. God, I feel like such a bastard. I honestly thought she was ready for this,” Lander sighed.
“We all did, bro,” Wolf answered. “She’s such a sexy little thing. I want her to spend the rest of her life with us.”
“And how the hell do we deal with the issue of her parents?” With a growl in his voice, Lander went on, “Motherfucker, I hate this shit. It would have been so much easier if we had never volunteered for the program.”
“You can’t mean that, Lander. That program was the best thing we ever did. Come on, stop thinking with your dick. We have come so far. We could still be living on the streets if we hadn’t signed up,” Wolf reminded his brother.
“Yeah, I know. Sorry, just…fuck.”
Wolf got to his feet, wincing when he pulled his jeans on over his still-hard cock.
Giving one last look at their woman snuggled up with Seton, he turned on his heel and left the room. Knowing there wasn’t a chance in hell that he would be able to sleep anytime soon, he walked toward their office and his laptop, hoping to at least get some work done. Lander followed him in a few moments later, flung himself into a chair,
