Her chin lifts, putting her lips closer to mine. So close… “You do?”

  Her words slip out on a breath, and for the first time in a very long time the thought of acting on my impulse heats my veins.

  I’m ready to concede what my younger brother has been saying, what my mother has been saying, hell, what everybody has been saying—it’s time for me to get back in the game. I’m too young to be put out to pasture. I still have life in me.

  My arm lifts, and I slide my hand up to her elbow. “Yes.”

  Our eyes meet, and I lean down, driven by what I want to happen. I’m pretty sure she’s stretching taller. My lips grow heavy. We’re right there, when…

  “Hey, bro! Here you are!” The noise of the screen door banging open followed by my brother’s loud voice throws us to opposite sides of the porch.

  She goes to the wall, hiding in the shadows, and I step quickly to the rail, into the bright light of the full moon.

  “It’s been longer than thirty minutes, and you’re still here. Are you actually enjoying yourself?”

  He’s so casual, while my heart is galloping in my chest. It only takes me a moment to get my shit together and realize what I almost did. I almost kissed Edna’s granddaughter… Gwen’s daughter.

  I shake my head, snapping out of the trance. “I gotta go.”

  Britt seems to disappear, and I don’t question it. What almost happened here was a combination of too much whiskey, too much moonlight, and too little sleep. Hell, for all I know, it could’ve been a spell conjured by the witchy women in this family.

  If I believed in shit like that.

  No, I stopped believing in romance a long time ago, and one fall night on a moonlit porch with a pretty girl isn’t going to change me. The sooner I get my head back in the game the better.

  Adam drops me off at my house, but I’m too keyed up to sleep. The place feels too quiet, and I can’t get the thought of Britt’s soft lips out of my head. Grabbing my keys, I drive to town and park in my reserved space in front of the courthouse.

  The noise of music and laughter is muted, but I know it’s coming from El Rio, a few blocks away. It’s early, and I decide to give Doug a break. I’ll have one drink, and if no mysterious strangers appear, I’ll walk home. I need to burn off some of this pent-up energy.

  The music grows louder as I approach the festive, Mexican restaurant. It’s only been open a few years, but the local kids love it. I appreciate the owner doing his part to uphold the small-town vibe by shutting everything down at midnight.

  “Hey, Sheriff!” Doug is at my arm when I walk through the door. “Did you find a babysitter after all?”

  Looking around, I see a few of the kids who were at Britt’s party are here. No sign of my brother or Britt, though. It’s a good thing. I need to get my head straight and remember I’m a dad, not a player. I’m the sheriff of Eureka, not some trust-fund frat boy out of Hilton Head.

  “The Bridge game got canceled. Have you seen anything here?”

  “Actually…” He turns, nodding in the direction of a dark corner. “The mysterious stranger is here.”

  The frustration burning in my stomach is all the motivation I need.

  Stalking around the bar, I approach the man with my brow lowered. “Hey, there, pal. I heard you were hassling one of the customers here last night.”

  The man stands, his dark eyes narrowed, and he looks me up and down. “And you are?”

  “Aiden Stone, sheriff of Eureka. What’s your name?”

  “A new Sheriff Stone? Interesting.” I can’t place his accent. It could be Italian or Russian for all I know. “Are you as competent as the former Sheriff Stone?”

  My hand tightens into a fist, and I’m ready to teach this guy a lesson. “Are you insulting my dad?”

  He holds up both hands. “Not at all. I’ll simply pay my bill and leave. No harm done.”

  “I’ll take care of your bill. You take care of the leaving. And don’t come back.”

  An oily smile curls his lips, and he studies my face in a way that puts me on guard. “I’ll be going then, but I have unfinished business here.”

  “Find another way to finish it. The next time I hear you’re hassling the citizens of Eureka, I’ll lock you up.”

  “You won’t see me here again.”

  He nods, exiting the bar, but a sick feeling in my gut makes me suspect this isn’t over. The man walks out of the bar, and Doug joins me in the corner.

  “You really handled that guy.” Doug smiles, slapping me on the back. “I never worried when your dad was in charge, and I’m just as confident now. Eureka is in good hands.”

  “Yeah.” I nod, signaling to the bartender. “I’ll cover that guy’s bill.”

  He brings me the statement, and I pay for Doug and the weird stranger. The frustration has cooled in my chest, but I’m not convinced the storm has passed.

  I’m starting to feel like things are just beginning in our small town, but don’t be alarmed. Doug is right. I’m more than up to the task of keeping this small-town safe.

  Whatever’s coming better look out for me.

  Mele Kaliki Make Out with Me

  The smile hasn’t left my face since we stepped off the private plane.

  Because we’re in Hawaii…for Christmas. Well, technically, the day after, but still. These boys will never stop being the very fucking best. It’s crazy to think that it’s been two years with Reed, Alec, Cole, and Jace—my guys.

  The best two years. They even handle my father like champs. However, in all honesty, I think they needed this trip more than me. My father really put them through their paces last week. But fair’s fair when four guys are trying to date your daughter.

  Thank god for my sister, Eleanor, and her husband, Crew, annnd the sexual tension between Millie and Crew’s friends because without them, I think I may have lost my mind.

  “Welcome to the island of Kauai.”

  A lei is offered by a man in a colorful shirt as I bend forward. I feel like I’m in a movie until Reed gently bumps my shoulder and whispers, “Sunshine, did you just get laid by some rando before we fucked you?”

  “Shuuttt up,” I whisper back, trying not to laugh. “You’re such a child.”

  He nuzzles my neck, growling and making me squeal before I reach for Jace and escape.

  “Will you tell your friend to settle down? We’re in public.”

  Jace sweeps me up into his arms and spins me around, eliciting a carefree laugh.

  “Cutie, we’re on our own private little piece of heaven. You’ll be lucky to keep any of us off you.”

  Reed dips in, kissing my cheek before he adds, “I’m gonna do whatever the fuck I want, sunshine.” He licks his lips before giving me a wink. “But that’s never been a problem before… Are you telling me you want my lips off you?”

  Damn. When he does this and looks at me with those sexy bedroom eyes, I lose all focus. But Jace is right. I’ll take all the hands all the time. Still, it’s more fun when I make them work for it.

  “This is my dance space…” I tease, pushing against Jace, pointing to the millimeters of space between us, even though he keeps holding me off the ground. “And this is your dance space.”

  His forehead touches mine, a smirk on his face as he sets me to the ground. “All right, baby. But only because I can see Cole over your shoulder, and he’s about to kill me for bogarting our girl.”

  My head swings over my shoulder, the smile on my face permanent as I land on Cole’s grumpy face, mainly because his neck is garnished with a colorful lei. Everything about it is a contradiction. Grumpy meeting happy. Cole’s jaw tenses, so I immediately turn and walk toward him.

  “You look good in flowers,” I say with a wink, looking up at his chiseled jaw. It has stubble, and it never has stubble. And that makes me really like vacation Cole.

  “It’s actually maile leaves and a berry called mokihana.”

  Details, details. He’s very good at paying attention to those. In every way.

  “Good to know. Maybe you guys can wear them like you did with the Santa hats last year.”

  His chest rises and slowly lowers as he lets out a long breath, staring down at me like he’s contemplating what he’s going to do.

  “Princess, you keep teasing me, and I’ll make everyone sleep outside the room while I fuck you raw.”

  “Promises, promises.”

  Cole grabs the back of my jean shorts, dipping his fingers just inside the waistband, and spins me around before cracking his hand directly across my ass.

  I squeal as he growls, “Move it.”

  Alec holds out his hand for me to take, so I let him lead me toward the jeeps that are waiting to take us to our villa. He opens the door for me, bringing my hand to his lips.

  “Your chariot awaits, gorgeous. But before you get in, I want to hear that we can do whatever we want…all fucking weekend.”

  Mele Kaliki-make out with me right fucking now, asking a question like that. Alec already knows what I’m going to say, but goddammit, it’s so hot when he demands it.

  I bite my bottom lip, staring into Alec’s eyes, letting it drag out slowly. But before it pops out, Alec reaches up and tugs it out, immediately sealing his mouth over mine. His hand slides down my body until my gasp is eaten because he’s grabbing my pussy. As he pulls back, his eyes lock on mine.

  “Gimme.”

  Reed growls loudly, playfully shoving me inside the car. “That’s my fucking line, dick.”

  I’m laughing as my guys pile in and the engine rumbles because I think this is about to be the most memorable XXX-mas of my life.

  “What’s that?”

  I blink a couple of times as I stare, pointing at the bed…a bed that’s on a lanai…overlooking the freaking ocean.

  “Looks like a four-poster bed,” Cole offers, walking past me with his hands clasped behind his back and a smirk before giving me a tiny poke to my side. I jerk sideways, letting out a quiet laugh.

  Jace passes by my other side, making my head jerk in his direction to see him licking his lips before he says, “With an endless ocean view.”

  “Hmmm…” I smile. “So it seems.”

  I swallow, feeling their eyes on me. Reed’s big hands attach themselves to my hips, tugging me backward into his warm body. His lips skim my earlobe, sending shivers down my spine.

  “You asked for paradise, sunshine. So, win-win.”

  “Win-win?”

  “Yeah, because all we want is you.”

  Reed lets me go before I can even finish a breath and joins the other two guys as Alec’s fingers guide my chin to his gaze.

  “Fellas,” he says in a low rumble, “I think it’s time for our present.”

  Another present? And I bet it’s something dirty. Here I thought Hawaii was the gift. I smile to myself because what was I thinking? We’re never making it out of this room.

  Everything is the perfect decadent romantic setup for a fuckfest. They’re going to put me in a coma, and all I’ll get are dreams of Hawaii. My mouth opens, then closes, then pops open again with insults laced with humor.

  “You’re the absolute worst men. You’re all the goddamn delicious worst. I see what you’re doing. And I love you with my whole heart, but I have demands—”

  Alec smirks and nods, running his thumb over my bottom lip before pressing it inside my mouth. And because I’m a damn tramp, I suck and instantly get wet listening to him groan.

  “We love you too, gorgeous. Forever.”

  But the moment he pulls it out, I lick my lips and rush my words out, mainly because I’m now being surrounded, and I know I only have a few seconds before the best kind of debauchery ensues.

  “For the record, fellas, I want snorkeling in those silly masks with the goofy spouts. And an underwater picture of all of us for the penthouse.”

  My purse is slipped off my shoulder.

  “And I want a romantic dinner on the beach with drinks that have umbrellas in them and you guys in Hawaiian shirts.”

  The hem of my tee is untucked from my shorts.

  “And I swear to god, if we don’t go surfing or see a waterfall, I will riot.”

  Reed grins, dragging my shirt up and over my head, making me laugh. I’m spun around by someone… No, not just someone… Cole.

  Our eyes connect, and everything slows, stills, and quiets. Damn, he has a way of making his presence known. Cole licks his lips as his eyes dart to the swells of my breasts, which are still hidden in my bra.

  “That’s a problem for me. Solve it.”

  I smirk as I reach up and pop the clasp nestled within my cleavage, setting my tits free.

  “Solved. Sir. And about my demands?”

  Cole leans in so only I can hear him.

  “Baby, you can have anything and everything you want. I’ll make the world kneel for you. Always.”

  My eyes close for the softest second. He cups my breast, pinching my nipple between his fingers, making me gasp before I melt back into the other hard body behind me. My chest rises and falls with instant need as fingers scrape over my scalp, making my head fall back too. I rasp a moan, feeling lips drag over my collarbone and a hand run down my stomach.

  The whole gang’s here.

  My eyes open as I lift my head, engulfed by my men. But my eyes are on Cole. He yanks my button-fly shorts open with two tugs, making room for the wandering hand and grins.

  Jace’s voice tickles my ear because he’s the body behind me, just as his fingers dip inside my underwear. Fuck.

  “You’re so wet, cutie, but let me make you wetter. I want to play with this sweet clit until you’re begging. Would you like that? Use your words and tell us.”

  I’m already breathing heavily, completely lost to the feeling of hands, lips, and their warmth as I nod and rush out a “Yes…I’d like that.”

  God, they’re always so all-consuming. The moment they touch me, I’m so overwhelmed that it feels like I can’t take it, even though I can’t get enough.

  Cole’s hands spread over my hips, jerking my jean shorts off my body, taking my panties with them, eliciting a gasp.

  Jace’s hand presses to my stomach, sealing my back to his front and his hard cock as he begins rubbing small, too-gentle circles around my clit. Fuck, it’s sweet torture. My hair is gripped by Reed before he tilts my head so that my neck is exposed. His teeth graze my skin before he sucks.

  “Fuck.” I groan, pressing my hips forward, trying to rock into Jace’s hand.

  But it’s Reed’s voice that gives me shivers as Cole stares me down, rubbing himself through his slacks.

  “I’m going to mark your entire body—” Reed whispers with that sexy gravel. “—so everyone knows what a dirty little slut you are. Because who do you belong to, sunshine?”

  My hips rock, feeling Jace apply more pressure as I lick my lips. Cole raises a brow, waiting for my answer, but they all know it.

  “You,” I breathe out. “I belong to all of you.”

  “I can’t fucking wait anymore,” Alec booms from beside me.

  Jace’s hand leaves my pussy as I’m swept off my feet, my arm landing over Alec’s shoulder as he carries me toward the bed. I can’t help but look over his shoulder because the vision of Reed, Cole, and Jace following like predatory fucking animals is enough to make me come on the spot.

  The moment we hit the patio, the cool ocean breeze pricks my skin and makes me shiver as the sun simultaneously warms me. I’m dropped onto the soft fabric of the bed as I situate myself and look around them. They’re standing, each at an end of the bed with a hand holding the post, as thin, almost transparent silk that’s draped along the posts blows around them.

  I press my lips together, hiding my smile, because it’s so sexy but also kind of like a cover off those romance novels you see in grocery stores.

  Maybe Cole can be a pirate and Reed a cowboy, Alec can be a swashbuckler, and Jace…he can be the stable boy. The giggle I give narrows their eyes, making me smile harder before they shut me up—because they’re taking their clothes off.

  Hot. Damn.

  This part never gets old. I mean, none of our fivesomes do, but watching them strip is a top three favorite part of my life. Because not every girl is lucky enough to have four men who exude sex appeal. And forget about the muscles, even though how could I?

  Between Jace’s taut pecs adorned with nipple piercings and the fact that he is covered in tattoos—including his new one, a red bow with five loops. It’s just like the one I tied around myself at Christmas when I gifted me to them.

  And don’t get me started on the way that Cole’s body is sheer lean muscle perfection. There’s not a mistake, a regret, or an improvement to be had. He even has the most defined lines leading down to his giant cock. Sometimes, I spend hours daydreaming about what it would be like to lick his entire fucking body. But he’d never give me that much control, and I love him for it.

  Then there’s Reed, who honestly could afford to be uglier because it’s not fair to be this charming and also that fucking hot. He’s a god, and he knows it. But my favorite part about him is his mouth—it’s full of the dirtiest talk and also makes me constantly think of kissing…not just my mouth either. I’ve never been with someone who eats pussy as if it’s his Olympic sport and he’s the world’s record holder. The man defends his title like a true champion, and like, here’s your medal, sorry it’s wet.

  God, thinking about it is making my body squirm. As if he’s reading my mind, he winks, and I press my thighs together.

  Alec reaches under the bed and tosses a white box onto the bed. It’s long and has a red ribbon on it. Fucking red ribbons. I smile, giving him my attention, partially ignoring the box because he’s nude, holding his rock-hard cock in his hand.
