Page 91 of Perfect Three

Chapter Thirty-Eight

When Lucy rose on Sundaymorning, she wondered how the day would go.

Those two were swiftly making their home deep into her heart.Yesterday, she couldn’t remember laughing so much.They’d had such fun.The day had been perfect.Lucy had seen a different side of both men, and she really like what she saw.When Sebastian had spoken of his maternal heritage, she had heard such pride in his voice.She recalled the conversation they’d had early the other morning.It was so obvious he had proudly accepted both sides of his ancestry.

Today, they were coming for lunch.That gave her plenty of time to do a few chores and dress.The chicken coop needed cleaning, so she tackled that before anything else.Once finished, Lucy went down to the end of the yard.She had a few fruit trees, and there were ripe oranges to pick.The three lemon trees were always laden, so she picked a few of them as well.Allison said she was coming over on Tuesday, so she could take a bagful as well as some eggs and oranges.

Carrying the fruit inside, Lucy noticed it was close to eleven, so she had a quick shower and changed.She realized as she dressed that she’d put on sexy underwear—a skimpy black and red lace bra with a pair of matching panties.

How different it feels to dress for someone special.

She wanted them to notice, wanted to feel sexy, and it was something these two were always making her feel.It empowered her to know she excited these two handsome men.A laugh burst free.Here she was, fifty-four, and had thought that no man would be interested in her.Now, she had two very attractive, sexy men who thought she was just perfect.

She pulled on a pair of jeans and a loose blue blouse.If they were going out and it was to a dressy place, she could easily change if needed.She brushed her hair then thought about putting on lipstick.

Laughing, she mused it would probably come off very quickly if yesterday was anything to go by.Instead, she sprayed some of her favorite perfume—OrganzabyGivinchy—and went down the main stairs.

Perfect timing.It was eleven-forty when Lucy heard a car pull up and went to the front door.Opening it, she greeted the two men.

Jack carried a couple of bags, but he still managed to kiss her soundly before Sebastian grabbed her with one arm and sent her pulse racing even faster with his kiss.He held more flowers in the other hand and gave them to her.

“Picked up some Chinese on the way,” Jack said, showing her the bags.

Lucy led the way into the kitchen, moving the fruit to one side on the bench so Jack could put the bags down.

“These your lemons?”

“Yep.”She pointed out the window.“See those monsters down the back yard.They’re full of lemons all the time.”

“Can we pinch some?Brad’s always wanting lemons, and we use them at the bar as well.”

“Help yourself.They’ll go to waste otherwise.Take all these.There’s plenty more where they came from.”

“Thanks.”

Sebastian took one of the bags from Jack once he’d emptied it and filled it with lemons.

Lucy got plates and cutlery out, setting them on the kitchen table, rather than the formal dining room, after putting the flowers in water.

The two men carried all the food containers over and the three of them sat.

“Dig in, Lou.Jack ordered everything on the menu, as usual.”

“Hey, I’m not that bad, Seb!”

Lucy could only laugh at them.They had a way of making her relax, except when the topic of sex rose.Helping herself to a mini spring roll, she dipped it into some sweet and sour sauce before biting into it.“Mm, delicious.”

Jack leaned over and wiped his thumb over her chin.“Runny stuff.”He raised an eyebrow.“Maybe I should lick it off?”
