Dangerous trio 1 (6 page)

Dallas and Noah had a hot sexual relationship and they wanted nothing better than to share it with Bailey. Then they could settle down in a few years, have babies, and live happily ever after. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that when Dallas came back, he was rock hard. Dallas rounded the corner of the kitchen, saw Noah"s erection, and knew the man was thinking the same things he had just been thinking.

He walked behind the man who he loved more than life itself, wrapped his arms around him and kissed his neck. “Lover, she will be ours soon. I will keep you content until then.” He whispered suggestively in his ear and ran his tongue around the back of his ear. It was the one spot Dallas knew would drive his lover nuts.

Noah groaned and leaned his head back against Dallas"s shoulder, giving him more access to his neck. Dallas continued nipping and kissing Noah"s neck, as the man tried to finish prepping the food.

“Stop, we have to get this done for Bailey, I will deal with you later.” Noah said breathless and kissed the other man quickly.

Dallas moaned and said, “Yes, you will.” Then he spanked Noah on the ass lightly and went to find the corkscrew. They worked in the kitchen together quickly and quietly, so they could hear the door in the back of the loft open.

Finally, the smells began to fill the air and they knew it would only be a matter of time before their mom"s smelled their favorite dishes. Noah had just gotten the Parmesan cheese ready to add when they heard the click of the door and smiled to each other. The smile lasted only moments before their mothers rounded the corner, they were surrounding Bailey who was finally dressed in shorts and tank top, they had not provided. Dallas frowned at the women, wondering where she could have gotten the things that fit her so well; they had not been able to find anything yesterday.

Their mother"s faces, instead of appreciative looks for the food they smelled, held frowns as they looked at their offspring. Dallas"s mother stepped forward first and held her fisted hands on her hips, but Dallas knew it would only be a minute before her hands would be waving around. She was pissed, and he for the life of him could not think what he could have possibly have done to make her look like this.

“Young man, get over here.” She snarled at him. “I did not raise you to yell at woman and order them around like slaves, thinking you can make all of their decisions without asking. If I hear you have laid another hand on this little woman in anger, I will send your father over here to teach you a lesson. Are we clear?”

“Ma,” he groaned and closed his eyes putting his hand in front of his face, grasping the bridge of his nose, thinking before speaking. “I was doing what was best. I never threatened to hurt her, either.”

“Huh,” Bailey muttered behind his mom.

Noah"s mother stepped forward, looked at her son just as sternly, and said, “And you, Noah, what the heck were you thinking, telling her she belonged to you? She is not a toy; she has a mind and can think for herself. Now, Marilyn and I are going to take our leave, now that we helped Bailey. You both had better know she has our phone numbers and instructions to call if you step out of line again.”

“Darlene and I will be checking too, Bailey needs to be pampered and taken care of, you idiots, think what she has been through.” Dallas"s mom said and walked to the boys and held out her arms to give them a hug. “She needs your understanding now, not your protection. She is on the edge; you could lose her if you push too hard.” She said into their ears.

“Well, my dear. Call us if you need us. We will see you soon.” Marilyn went to Bailey and pulled her into a hug. “Remember what we told you, make them work for it.” She whispered to her and then Darlene was there, kissing her cheek gently and saying, “We are so happy you are here, I agree you are perfect for them. Don"t let them know it yet.” The two older women went to the door, smiled at the trio, and waved before leaving quickly. Bailey stood at the edge of the room looking like she was going to run again.

Before she could, Noah rushed to her side, guided her to the dining room table, and sat her down. He fussed over her, getting the plates and glasses ready for their meal, as Dallas stood off to the side watching her intently.

She knew they were dying to ask her what their mother"s told her, but she refused to meet either of their glances until she was ready to. When the two strange women had come into her room this morning and began taking care of her, Bailey had been overwhelmed. She had never had a mother figure fuss over her as much as those two had done. They helped her into a bath and listened to her babbling in confusion about the turn of events in her life. She had felt a connection for the first time with two women who were strangers. When they had walked into her room, they were like the mothers she always wanted. Over the years, she often dreamed of a mother who would hold her when she was crying, and give her advice when her life took a wrong turn. They had at least explained a little about the two men who had taken over her life. This is more than she could say for them. She thought they were joking when they said she was made for them, but after both of the women told her a little background of the two, she knew they were serious. She still was not sure what to expect from the two, and did not believe for one second that type of relationship would work, but she relaxed enough to want to think of the possibilities. Her life was a mess and she knew it was not the time to try to date, but since she was stuck here, she would have to make the best of the situation and not lose her heart in the process.

“Darlin", are you hungry? I have pasta and wine prepared; we can eat and then relax for the night and talk about what we need to.” Noah said leaning and running his hand over her hair, which looked better after Marilyn and Darlene had finished helping her get ready. They had brought her shorts and tank tops to wear while she had the wound on her shoulder. It would not rub on it much as the clothes the guys had picked out for her.

They were a little big, she tried to laugh it off when they helped her into them, but the women pulled out a needle and thread and taken the clothes in while they were talking to her. By the time they were done, everything fit, and was comfortable. They had also brought her better Pj"s instead of the silky ones they guys had picked for her. They had listened to her life story and reassured her about her choice to help put the Digrossi behind bars. They cried when she told them she was alone in the world and assured her no matter what, the guys would always protect her.

“I liked your moms.” She said quietly and picked up her fork to start eating. She forgot for a moment the arm she usually used was so sore and dropped the fork almost immediately. Dallas rushed forward and pushed her hands aside. He sat next to her and started to cut the food into little pieces. She watched him scoop up a portion and hold it to her lips to eat. She smiled shyly and leaned forward to take a bite. “Oh my God, this is heaven.” She sighed when the smooth sauce slid down her throat. She closed her eyes, appreciating the food.

“Wow, where did you get this? I would love to go to this restaurant when I am feeling better.” She looked up and waited for the men to answer her question.

“Baby, Noah made this for you, he fancies himself a chef. He does all the cooking around here if we want to eat.” Dallas said smoothly and scooped up another spoonful for her. “Now, be a good girl and eat it all up and I will get you an ice cream sundae for dessert, I can"t burn that.”

She smiled, nodded to him, and waited for him to put the spoon down for her to pick up.

Instead, he stood up, gave the spoon to Noah who took his place, grabbed a glass of wine and tipped it for her to drink. He fed her and crooned every time she ate a bite, she had never been taken care so thoroughly in her life, and she savored every minute of it, because soon this fairy tale was going to end.

By the time she was done with the meal, Dallas had a huge bowl of ice cream ready for her and sat on one side of her while Noah remained on the other. They took turns feeding her the rich dessert and talked to her quietly about stupid inane topics. Bailey had to stop them before she exploded. Neither of the men had eaten, they just took care of her. When she was done, they moved her to the soft L shaped couch in front of a fire that Dallas had made just before she was done with her meal. She cuddled into the blanket they wrapped around her and looked into the flames, thinking to herself she wished she could freeze this moment in her mind.

“Darlin", we gotta talk now. Can you handle it?” Noah asked sitting on one side, pulling her tiny frame to lean against him.

Dallas sat on her other side gently taking her hand in his and rubbing his strong fingers over her knuckles. She looked from one man to the other, sighed, and nodded. She braced herself for what they were going to say, because regardless of what their moms thought, she knew they would come to their senses. She was not the perfect fit for them, she was too much trouble.

“I will start,” she whispered and said, “I know Noah got a lot more than he bargained for when I jumped into his cab. I realize all of this mess is my fault and a lot more than you all want to deal with. I would hate it if something happened to either of you because of me. I will wait for the attorney to call and be out of your hair as soon as they can get me out of here. I just really want you to know how much I appreciate you guys and the trouble you have all gone to for me.” She struggled to stand and go to her room before she started to cry in front of them. It had been great for one afternoon to pretend these gorgeous men and their families were hers, but she also knew all good things had to end.

“Bailey, honey, talking usually means you say something and then we get to respond. It does not mean you get to throw down your exit strategy and not give us a chance to tell you, no.” Noah said gently and pulled her back to where she was sitting. “Now, first of all, you are welcome for coming to your aide, but I would have done that for anyone. As for the rest of that nonsense, I knew when I saw your eyes you were the one for Dallas and me. No one else, you. So let"s not talk about leaving or anything like that. When we said we needed to talk, it was not all about what we"re going to do about this situation.

Steve called with a plan for security and we just wanted to go over the rules with you.”

“Yes, Bailey, there will be rules. First off, you will notice leaving us is not an option we are giving. You will remain here, with us. Now, Steve doesn"t think we should go flaunting ourselves around town or anything like that, so we have to lay low for a while.

Therefore, until this mess is over, you will not go out by yourself. Noah or I will go with you where ever you feel have to go. Jolly will be your personal guard until the trial.

Now, your room will remain your room forever. We will buy you what you need and that is not open for discussion. Any money you have you can keep in an account for yourself. I believe you are an accountant?” He asked and she nodded in shock for what these men were saying. “Good, Noah and I own the club next door and we just happen to need an accountant for our business ventures, so you are hired. I will have Jolly get the books sent over so you can keep busy. We sincerely hope you will consider us your boyfriends for the immediate time, of course, in the future, we hope to convince you to marry us, but that talk is for another time. Now, we are not stupid and for full disclosure, we ran a background check on you to make sure you would not be killing us in our sleep, so we know the basics about you. In the folder over there are similar checks on Noah and I, with a few fun details put in personally, but otherwise the normal things you should know. I know what we are asking is strange and seems a little impossible right now, but please keep an open mind, baby.” Dallas finished and Bailey stayed silent for a while, trying to digest all they told her. She finally stood and went to the table that held the papers that he pointed to a few minutes prior. She laughed when she saw on the front page that Noah had written that he hated brussel sprouts and loved seafood. Leave it to them to skip the dating portion of a relationship. She felt like she knew them better than she knew most of the guys she dated over the years already.

Both of the men watched her as she sat and read through the stack. It was pretty basic stuff. Date of birth, parents, siblings, where they went to college and a criminal check.

She raised her eyebrow when she also saw a medical form, clearing them from having any STD"s or genetic defects. The final page was hand written by both of them listing their likes and dislikes. She giggled when she saw at the bottom they were both football fans and had season tickets to the local team. What was even cuter was that they had three tickets so they could take their woman with them when they found her. Bailey thought she would tease them a little before agreeing she also liked the team.

“Hmm, football? Is that where they hit a ball with a bat and run around the bases? I really love that little purple guy they have for the mascot.” She asked innocently.

Both of them groaned and laid their heads back against the couch and Dallas said, “You are killing me honey. No, that is baseball. Football is a manly sport.”

“Ohh, I see, but I don"t know about that rough stuff.” She said, making sure her eyes were wide. “I like passive sports a lot more, you know like golf or tennis.” Noah frowned and then turned to look at her, ready to soothe her feelings and convince her they would teach her all she needed to know. His frown deepened when he saw the sparkle in her eyes. “Buddy, we are being played.” He said to Dallas.

“What?” Dallas said and turned to her and growled, “Bailey, the list is getting longer and longer for the infractions you need to be paddled for.” He said and jumped to chase her around the couch as she shrieked and ran to get away from him.

“Hey, no threatening, I will call your mom!” She yelled and continued to try and stay away from Dallas, but when Noah stood, she knew she had no choice but to make a run for her room.
