  |Chapter One

  Hamilton Meriwether loved a good party. Tonight’s was shaping up nicely as far as turnout. The sex was underway, and all he lacked were a few people from the firehouse to complete the experience. While the men were into the hot fun of watching, being watched or sharing, the woman Hamilton wanted was the one he couldn’t have.

  As Ham gently spanked an eager waitress from the local diner who was between boyfriends, he looked over at his brother Monty and Alex, Monty’s boyfriend. Alex was the main reason Ham held back. The woman Ham loved was Alex’s baby sister. Saying Alex was protective was like saying southern Louisiana was wet.

  “Fuck me!” the girl demanded.

  Her ass was nice and pink, and Ham felt the rush of need. Sharing a woman was in the family, his other brother Dominic and his fiancée, Cassie, moved to join Monty and Alex. Ham had been part of it, and still could be, but something had changed. Ham had made it clear he needed his own group, and they understood. Cassie wasn’t into the slightly rough play Ham was. Three men were enough for her. Ham wanted to have a bit of the contentment he saw in that quad. The players for his dream were picked, but the moment hadn’t arrived.

  As he slid a condom on and filled the pretty blonde waitress, he closed his eyes. She’d never be Lolly. No one would. He grew more and more restless waiting, but this helped. Talking himself out of his dream girl wasn’t hard. Lolly deserved love, but she’d grown up in a traditional Hispanic family. She might run at what Ham wanted. Alex would freak out. Ham could screw up what he had.

  These monthly parties kept him going—playing with women who liked his skills and watching men. But something had to change. He had to figure out a way to make it happen. The moans of his sexual partner were loud and appreciative. Ham’s body reacted as her pussy convulsed. He came and kissed her shoulder.

  “Spank me harder,” she said.

  “Honey, you don’t want me. You need some dominant master for that kink. I just play.” He eased from her as shouts went up from the back porch. Ham smelled smoke and ran to the scene.

  The next-door neighbor had seen the smoke, and the fire department was already there. Ham saw Bruce and Shane using a common extinguisher to put out a candle that had been knocked over.

  “No open flames, people. If you can’t follow the rules, you can’t party here. You could’ve taken out the house!” As fire chief, Ham took his job seriously. Lucky Springs was a small town in the middle of Louisiana, but it was his home. They had a small force plus volunteers, but damn it, he’d keep people safe.

  The ambulance rolling up made him freeze. He prayed in a way he was never meant to while naked with a condom on his body. His grandmother would be ashamed. And his prayers failed. Lolly Martinez hopped out of the ambulance, and the two guys in fire gear gave Ham a look of sympathy. Bruce had a hopeful glimmer in his eye.

  Ham looked for anything to cover up with and grabbed a clean towel. There was nothing to be ashamed of on his dark black body, but Lolly had a crucifix hanging around her neck. Her expression was wide-eyed shock. Beautiful and tall, Lolly had light beige skin and dark almond eyes that she lined. Her plum lipstick never faded, and that long black hair was thick enough to get lost in. Her curves were lush and her body tight. He bet she wore a ten. So sexy in uniform! Ham fought the arousal she triggered in him.

  Her eyes were stuck on her big brother, Alex, for the minute.

  “I can explain, Lol. Just go back to work. We’re good here. I’ll call you.” Alex stood behind his boyfriend.

  “You were just in her.” Lolly pointed to Cassie.

  Ham saw this getting ugly fast. The secret ruined, the parties exposed, and all because of a candle. He had to get a grip on it. “Lolly, no one is hurt. Go back to the station and wait for me.”

  Instead, she moved in closer and looked at him. “You, too? What hell is going on here?”

  “Language,” Alex said.

  Ham shot Alex a look. “Really? Now?”

  “Lolly it’s not what you think. I’ll explain when I get to the station. Just go. You might get another call. This isn’t where you’re need. You guys, too. Get the truck back to the station.” Ham dropped the towel and pointed back to town.

  The men went without argument, but Lolly stood there frozen like a statue. She was looking at him. Ham wasn’t used to her disobeying, and he focused on that thought rather than wondering if she liked what she saw. If he thought about sex with her now, he’d get hard and Alex would lose it.

  He was the boss in a small town that only had one main fire truck and one modern ambulance. They didn’t need to be hanging here watching a peep show. “Lolly, I said get back to the station. That’s an order.”

  Blinking, she nodded. “Never took an order from a naked boss before. Have fun.” She looked around the room one more time and turned.

  The emergency vehicles pulled away, and the chatter started.

  “Hold on, hold on,” Ham shouted. “We’re fine. They work for me. Those two guys have been guests here before. No one will say anything. I promise the parties will be safe. Maybe, we should call it a night. Reminder, no open flames. You want romantic candlelight, do it at your house.”

  The crowd broke up, and Dominic calmed fears as they left. The core family wasn’t any calmer than the guests.

  “We know the guys. What about Lolly?” Cassie said. “I should go talk to her.”

  “No, very much not you.” Alex pointed a finger. “It’s my fault she’s upset. Seeing her brother here. Like this. I need to talk to her.”

  Monty laughed. “That’s a good idea. Explain to her why you were in a group thing. That’s a conversation you want to have with your sister.”

  “Lolly looks up to me. She supported me more than anyone when I came out.” Alex sat with an expression of disgust on his face. “I never wanted her to know about this.”

  Ham knew that all too well. “She never found out working with me. It’s too late now. And she’s not a baby, Alex. Lolly is a grown woman who should have the same rights and freedoms as you do. Maybe, she’d deal with it better if you treat her like an adult.”

  “She’s the good one. The little angel of the family. I’ve got to protect her.” Alex sighed.

  “From sex? It’s not a crime.” Cassie rolled her eyes. “Ham’s right. You’re going overboard trying to shelter her. I agree that she might not want to watch her brother screw his boyfriend or boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend. But does she have a love life? She’s not a nun. Lolly is a gorgeous girl, and I’ll bet you scare off good men.”

  “Don’t you dare talk to her about this. She couldn’t handle a group
thing. I’ll go.” Alex stood and looked for his clothes.

  Monty hugged his lover. “I really think you should let Ham handle this. Okay, he knows her. She trusts him, and they have to work together. You and she can pretend it never happened. We both know that’s what you want. Forget it.”

  Alex nodded slowly and looked up at Ham. “You tell her I’m sorry she saw that. I love Monty, and we’re good. Okay?”

  “Yeah, it’s cool. She’ll get over the shock. The other guys have been here so she’s probably finding out it’s not such a big deal from them. She’s a great person; she won’t rat out the parties to anyone. Consenting adults have a right to do what they want.” Ham stopped talking before he made it worse. “I’ll get dressed and head over now.”

  “Thanks.” Monty gave his brother a pat on the shoulder then kissed Alex’s forehead. “Stop thinking about it.”

  “I can’t,” Alex said.

  “I can make you stop,” Monty teased.

  Ham finally got upstairs and out of earshot. He knew the sex would continue. Low libido was not a problem in their family. Finally, Ham had gotten lucky in Lucky Springs, the girl he wanted now knew the truth. No more hiding and he was on a mission all his own. Lolly might be stunned, but she knew now. Ham had to smooth it over and ease her into things. Alex wouldn’t like it, but the world had handed Ham an opening and he wouldn’t waste it.

  * * * *

  Sitting in her ambulance, Lolly wanted to go talk about what she’d just witnessed with Bruce and Shane, but it would be awkward for so many reasons. One, she’d dated both of them briefly—great guys but she couldn’t get over her other crush. Two, she was very turned on seeing Ham naked. Three, the sight of her brother in that mix left her slightly grossed out.

  Alex was gay. That was a truth she’d accepted from her youth, and she’d supported it. Not everyone in the family liked it, but he protected her and she stood up for him. Seeing him and Monty stepping out like that crushed a bit of her faith in having one perfect mate. A childish dream, but they were so good together. Alex liked girls, too?

  She could blot it out of her mind, all but Ham. The vision of his strong sexy body shamelessly standing there and giving her orders. Her clit pulsed, and Lolly had to own her arousal. Since the day they’d met, she’d had a crush on Ham. Working for him was torture and heaven. She got to see him without her brother around. She could stare at his ass when he wasn’t looking. Alex had told her stay away from the Meriwether men because they weren’t right for her. Now, she knew what he was talking about. Sex parties in Lucky Springs?

  A knock on the window made her jump in her seat. It was Ham tapping on the passenger side window. He was fully clothed and looked concerned. Unlocking the doors, she braced herself. Not obeying orders could get someone hurt. Not this time but Ham could be tough.

  “You okay?” He slid into the seat next to her.

  This wasn’t tough Ham. It was nice guy. “Yeah. I’m just sorting it out. Are those pretty regular?”

  “Monthly or so. Small towns… People don’t have a lot of options to add spice with clubs or shops. It’s totally open and voluntary.”

  She grinned. “Are you inviting me?”

  “Alex would kill me.” Ham brushed her hair behind her shoulder. “Are you okay? Really? I know it’s your brother, and it’s a shock.”

  “I always thought he was gay. Bisexual isn’t so different, but Cassie is engaged to Dominic. And Monty is bi, too.” She looked at him. “Are you part of their group?”

  Ham looked away then looked back. “I was. I’ve backed off. I know those four will be a good group, but I need my own.”

  “Group?” Were they really having this conversation?

  “Lolly, I’m glad this happened. Your brother is over protective and borders on the extreme. It’s not the way I wanted to do this, but I’ve been crazy about you for a long time.”

  It wasn’t her imagination! She’d felt the attraction. Licking her lips, she forced herself to stay in her seat. “You never asked me out.”

  “Well, that’s the thing. We work together, and your brother is the way he is. I really couldn’t come clean while I was part of their group. You deserve better. I couldn’t tell you about the sex parties or invite you. Plus, I had to figure out some things.”

  “What things?” she asked.

  He grinned at her. “If you were a little rebel willing to piss off your brother or if you’d slap me and send him and all your brother-in-laws and cousins to kick my ass. You’re a good person. You do things the right way, and you might not like what I’ve done or what I like to do.”

  “I saw you. How many girls did you screw tonight?” Her judgmental side came out, and she stifled it. All her life she’d been the good girl for everyone. The praise and the good feelings were enough. But love and sex weren’t automatically wrong. Lolly still wanted an answer to that question though.

  “Just one. And it’s nothing. Meaningless sex to stay sane. We all need it. Denial only makes us bitter and resentful. Give me a chance, and I’ll do everything I can to make you happy.” His hand rested on her neck.

  Her body warmed under his touch. She wanted to be bad. It was her secret fantasy, one of them. But no man made her feel truly safe enough to act. Ham did. “You haven’t had enough sex for one day?”

  “I’d never get enough of you. I don’t want you to think badly of anyone at that party because they’re good people. Most are in relationships. I have to ask you not to say anything to anyone about the parties or who was there. Some people might be offended.” Ham leaned closer.

  She leaned back. “Are you trying to seduce me to keep me quiet?”

  He smiled. “No, I’ve wanted you for so long. I can’t wait another second. I think you’ll keep quiet for your brother and for the other friends there who you don’t want to humiliate. That’s not you, Lolly.”

  “Because I’m so good?” she asked. “I’m sick of being good.”

  “So show me how bad you want to be. I won’t judge you or stop you. I can help you think of naughty things.” His hand rested on her thigh.

  “I’m sure you’ve tried them all already. Maybe you’re the perfect guide for a wannabe bad girl.” She kept her crush a secret. No need to stroke his ego more since he’d been in another woman today. A man should work for your affections. At least, that’s what her aunts had always told her.

  “I’m here whenever you’re ready.” He pulled his hand from her and reached for the door.

  Lolly didn’t want to be alone, not now. The growing bulge in his pants told her he wanted to stay. He was a gentleman, not out to pressure her, but he wanted her.

  Silencing her inner good girl, she grabbed him by the front of his shirt and pulled him in for a kiss. His full lips had always looked so inviting, and she sank into them as their tongues met. Ham leaned into her, his body heat making her clothes feel suffocating.

  “In the back,” she said against his mouth.

  Ham moved quickly, removing his clothes at the speed a fireman normally put his on when the alarm sounded. She followed, dropping her belt and kicking off her shoes. But Ham got to her buttons first. Slowly, he opened her shirt and pushed it off her shoulders. Lolly tugged it off the rest of the way and made quick work of her pants.

  Dragging down Ham’s briefs, Lolly stared at his huge cock. Now, he was naked. She felt silly in her prim white panties and cotton bra with matching little red dots on them. Not sexy! She needed to go shopping if this continued, and she really wanted it to.

  Ham leaned to her chest and pressed a gentle kiss on her breasts. Then he reached around and unhooked her bra. He looked her in the eye, “You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”

  He kissed her, and she melted. It was a line; it had to be. She wasn’t a virgin, despite what her father and brother probably believed. But Ham turned her on in a way no other man had. Bruce and Shane were hot and very close, but she’d caught them kissing so she figured they’d dated her for c
over more than interest.

  She pulled Ham down to kiss her breasts as she wiggled out of her panties. His large hands helped her, and she was completely naked in the back of her ambulance at work! The thrill of that was one thing. The feel of Ham’s mouth on her nipple made her shiver.

  Reaching out to explore him, she found muscle and more muscle. So sexy then she gripped the one muscle she’d had dreams about riding. He lifted under her touch, and she knew the attraction was real. Pushing him onto his back, she licked his erection and dropped kisses along the shaft.

  “Am I a bad girl yet?” she asked.

  Ham smiled. “Never to me.” He sat up, and his hands suddenly worked her pussy lips like an expert.

  Lolly gasped as he strummed her clit and rubbed over her slick inner folds.

  “Don’t play. Fuck me.” She’d fingered herself too much while dreaming of him. She needed cock not a tease.

  He reached for his pants. Did she do something wrong? Lolly knew she could be opinionated, but Ham wouldn’t make a joke of this. Would he? When she saw him pull a condom from his pocket, she smiled. He’d planned this, and she was grateful, not mad. She needed it more than he knew.

  Once the latex was in place, she crawled on top of him and lowered herself on his long rod. Her body tightened and relaxed in sweet pulses of pleasure. He went farther than any man had, that was for damn sure.

  “Hell, ride me any way you want, Lolly.” Ham held her hips as she pressed down to take him all.

  The aunts said she had birthing hips. Lolly didn’t mind the curves if it meant she could take a man like this. He stretched her just right. His hands moved up to cup her breasts as she lifted on him. Slow at first, she found her pace and rode him with her hands planted on his chest for balance.

  “Better than your friend at the party?” she asked.
