Ry grinned down at her, his muscles relaxing.“A wonderful side effect.”He guided her over and they joined Jed in the walk-in shower.

“Umm.We’re all going to shower together?”she asked.

“Obviously,” Jed said as Ry set her on her feet.

“Yes, this way we make sure you’re totally clean and taken care of.”Ry picked up the washcloth and proceeded to show her just what he meant.

Ry made sure he cleaned her and Jed.It was his responsibility as the Dom.When the water grew cool, he pulled Katie out and wrapped her in a towel before handing one to Jed and then wrapping one around himself.

“Bed,” Ry said.

Jed nodded.Ry started to picked Katie up.

“You’ve got to stop carrying me around,” she protested, holding her hands up.

“Why?I like it.”

“Once in a while is fine, but you guys do it way too much.”

Ry nodded but kept his arm around her waist as they walked out together to the bed.He slipped the towel off her body, motioned for her to lay down, and took his towel off.

Jed sauntered into the room sans towel to the opposite side of the bed.They climbed onto the mattress.

She turned toward him, and Ry hid a grin.She laid her hand over his stomach and her head on his shoulder.Jed slid up behind her, his legs tangling with hers as his arm slid over her waist.

“Sleep,” Ry ordered.

“Yes, Sir.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Katie giggled.

Ry let out a deep breath.Satisfaction flowed through him.Life didn’t get any better than this.He had the two people who mattered the most to him in his life and in his arms.

Chapter Fourteen

On Monday morning, Katie sat down in the leather chair behind her desk and winced.Damn, Ry and Jed had given her a workout this weekend.A smile crept over her lips.Oh, but what a workout it was.From the club, to watching Ry and Jed together, to all three of them snuggling together and sleeping through the night.And Sunday… She couldn’t remember having so much fun.They took the horses out for a ride and then had lunch in town.After, they’d been cajoled into a friendly game of touch football at the park.Game won, they’d gone back to the house and watched a movie.

Katie shook her head.She could daydream later.Right now, she had clients to contact and work to do.An hour later, she was knee-deep in computer files.One of her New York City clients had received a letter from the IRS, and he was panicking.Katie talked him down, and he scanned the IRS letter and sent it to her.

Now, she was gathering all the information.She wasn’t surprised by the letter, but as she assured her client, it was routine and just a time suck.

She was printing the last of the paperwork when her cell rang.A sigh escaped her as she grabbed her phone.“It’s fine, Larry.Would you relax?”This was his fourth call in the last hour.

“It’s about time you answered my call.”

She stiffened at the sound of her ex-boyfriend’s voice.Damn it, why hadn’t she checked who was calling before she picked it up?“I don’t have time for you, Walter.”

“Bull, Katherine.Grow up and come back.”

His nasally voice grated on her nerves.“I am grown up, and I’m not coming back.I’ve made that more than clear to both you and my father.”

“Don’t make me come after you.”

“Bring it on.You can’t get your lazy ass away from my father.”She hit the end button and rubbed her forehead.Walter was one headache she didn’t need.

Her phone rang again, and she glanced at the screen.Great, now her father.With a sigh, she picked it up.“I’m not coming back.”
