Yes. I need you.
She wriggled against his hand and whimpered. “Ian, please.”

He eased his fingers free and positioned himself. A surge of adrenaline coursed through her and she lifted her head, turning to catch his eye. He looked at her with such lust and love and heat that she gasped.

As Trent rocked against her clit, Ian pushed forward, his thick head widening her more than his fingers ever could.
Oh, yes!
Holly grabbed Trent’s shoulders and inhaled as Ian’s head slipped inside. The shaft of his cock glided deeper and deeper and Holly groaned.

A wave of pleasure washed over her and she forced her eyes open. She found Trent already staring. “I want you, too.”

He stroked her bare skin. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

“You won’t.”

Trent shifted beneath her and as she spread her legs wider alongside his thighs, he thrust.
Oh my God!
With Ian behind her and Trent below her, she was surrounded and stuffed and about to ignite.

Both men showered her in kisses and caresses, lighting her up as she adjusted to their size.

At last, Ian moved, sliding back and thrusting for the first time. His whole shaft was buried in her ass.

“Yes! Please!” She cried out, begging for them to rip another orgasm from her body and send her flying.

Ian groaned and pulled back as Trent thrust up from below. Over and over they worked into rhythm, two men and two cocks sliding against the thin membrane of her body.

She moaned and collapsed against Trent’s chest as an orgasm built inside. Deep and strong and different than before, it came over her without warning.
 

Her body seized and pleasure froze her mouth in a silent scream. Her back arched, her muscles clamped down, and both men groaned.

They released in unison, pumping deep inside her as wave after wave of pleasure crashed against her. This was it…this was what she’d needed to let go.

Holly surrendered.

Her whole body shook and trembled as a mass of emotion poured out of her. She couldn’t move, couldn’t think. She floated in a haze of bliss, all thanks to Trent and Ian.

HOLLY

“T
HIS
IS
INCREDIBLE
, Holly. You and Ian did all this?” Hillary spun around in a circle as she took in the state-of-the-art kitchen.

“Yep.” Holly ran her hand over the stainless steel counter. “It’s got everything I could ever ask for in a restaurant. You’re sure you want to do this?”

Hillary smiled. “A chance to keep working with you, in a kitchen like this? Of course I do!”

“You really don’t mind running the catering out of here?”

Hillary shook her head. “Not one bit. Have you seen those ovens? I’ll be a million times more productive. And I’ll have staff!”

Holly grinned. When Ian came to her with this crazy idea to open a restaurant together, she’d balked at first. They’d just survived a crazy attack and they were still figuring out how a ménage relationship would work.

But when he explained his reasoning, she knew it would work. He’d be the face of the place and run the front room and she’d be in the back, cooking and creating and living her dream job.

With her best friend on board as a co-chef, it was perfect.

Hillary opened the huge walk-in refrigerator and poked around. “So who came up with the name?”

“Trent, can you believe it?”

Hillary popped her head out. “He wanted to name the restaurant after your dad?”

Holly nodded. “He said it should be something meaningful.” She glanced toward the doors that led to the seating area. It’d been a long time, but her father was finally coming home. In name, at least.

He would have a legacy in Midnight Cove that was more than being the ex of her nasty mother. Holly could start a new life with Ian and Trent and the mistakes of the past could stay where they belonged.

She took a deep breath and let it out in a rush. Thank God for chocolate cake.

TRENT

He leaned against a fence post and watched the party guests file into the parking lot. It’d been six months since Holly had been kidnapped. Six months since he’d admitted he loved her and dove head-first into a crazy relationship he wasn’t sure would last.

But there they were.

When Ian had sat down on the couch that night and offered up his shipping business, Trent hadn’t known what to say. Take over a billion-dollar business? So Ian could go back to his roots and open a restaurant?

The first thing he’d done was check Ian for a concussion. But the man was serious. The more Trent listened, the more he’d seen the potential. Trent could take over the travel and the deals and Ian could get back to what he loved to do. It would give Trent a chance to stretch his legs and get out from behind a desk, and the shipping business would keep all three of them living the good life.

Holly would be a chef and they could all be happy. Together.

“Good to see you again.” Blake Turner stopped a few feet from Trent and flashed him a smile.

“You, too.” Trent had run into the man a few times in the past few months and they’d chatted a bit about how these types of relationships work. It’d been eye-opening. He smiled back. “How’s the wedding planning?”

Blake ran a hand over his hair. “Honestly? I have no idea. Between Summer and her mom and Mandy, Devin and I are outnumbered. Now I just nod and say yes.”

“Smart man.”

“I’m learning.” Blake motioned to the restaurant. “Looks like it’ll be a full house tonight. It’s good to see Ian back in the business. I know he’s missed it.”

Trent nodded. He knew Ian and been dissatisfied, but he hadn’t understood why until the restaurant plans took off. The man loved it. It was good to see him happy.

“So any chance the three of you will be planning a wedding soon?”

Trent shrugged. “Maybe. I love Holly. She loves both of us. It’ll happen. Someday.”

Blake nodded. “If you ever need wedding advice, you know where to find me and Devin”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Good luck on the opening.” Trent watched Blake as he made his way down the street. The ferns hanging from the street lights waved as he walked by and the sound of the ocean breaking on the rocks below filtered up to the street.

Trent never thought he’d be back in Midnight Cove to stay. He’d been the teenager running away from his family, school, everything. But Holiday changed everything. Now he couldn’t think of any place he’d rather be.

IAN

He flipped the pages on the guest list and shot off a text to check-in out front. The soft launch of Henry’s was going to be a success. He could feel it.

As he set the clipboard on the counter, the front door opened. He spoke without looking up. “The party doesn’t start for another hour.”

“Should I come back?”

Ian glanced up. “Mandy!” His sister stood in the entryway looking as beautiful as ever. Ian hustled up and gave her a huge hug. “Richard told me you couldn’t make it.”

Mandy beamed. “We changed our plans. I couldn’t miss my big brother’s big day. Although I was hoping for a wedding to drag me back home instead of a restaurant.”

Ian smiled. “In good time. It’s only been a few months.”

“I know.”

“Besides, you’ve got Summer’s wedding coming up.”

Her eyes lit up. “Yep. It’s going to be fantastic. She’s getting married down at the lifeguard station on the beach. There’ll be little candles along the walkways, everyone’ll be barefoot. They’ll have the ceremony right on the ocean—”

Ian held up a hand. “You know you lost me at fantastic, right?”

Mandy shook her head. “Fine, have it your way. But I’m expecting a proposal sooner rather than later.”

She waggled her finger at him and Ian laughed. “So you’ll be back for the party?”

“Wouldn’t miss it. Richard will be here, too.” She wrapped him up in another hug and headed toward the door. “We’ll see you soon.”

Mandy hustled out the front as voices came from the kitchen. Holiday pushed open the swinging door and Ian grinned.

She’d piled her hair up on her head in an updo, and a simple black dress hugged all her curves. Ian would never get sick of staring at the best woman to ever walk into his life.

“You’re staring.”

“You’re beautiful.” He knew his sister was right—there’d be another wedding to plan in Midnight Cove before too long.

HOLLY

“Are you sure the waitstaff is ready?”

Ian kissed the back of her hand. “Of course I’m sure, I’ve trained them myself.”

Holly let out a nervous sigh. It’d been months of planning and preparation, but the day had finally arrived. She glanced toward the front door. “What if it flops? What if no one comes?”

Ian chuckled. “They’ll come, Holly. I know the restaurant business and you know your way around a kitchen. Relax.”

He reached out and wrapped her up in a hug. “Henry’s is going to be the best restaurant in the Cove. Just you watch.” Ian kissed her temple and Holly melted against his chest.

She’d come back to Midnight Cove to help her best friend for a few weeks and now she was about to open a restaurant with views of the ocean. Holly snuggled tighter. She couldn’t ask for a better business partner in Ian.

“I still can’t believe you’d rather be doing this than shipping.”

He stroked her hair. “It’s not like I’ve abandoned the business. Trent is better at it than I ever was. And you know him. He’s so restless. The travel does him good.”

Holly pulled back to look at Ian. “He’s coming tonight, right?”

“I wouldn’t miss it.”

Holly stepped out of Ian’s embrace as Trent sailed in the door. She grinned and ran up to him. “I’ve missed you.”

He wrapped his arms around her. “I’ve missed you, too. Looks like you’ve both been busy. Ready for tonight?”

Ian answered. “As ready as we’ll ever be. How’s the lot?”

Trent grinned. “It’s full. You’ll have a packed house tonight, I think.”

“Really? Then I’ve got to get back to the kitchen.” Holly turned to go, but Trent grabbed her arm.

“Not before a good luck kiss.” He leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, soft but insistent. One touch and her nerves calmed. He nuzzled her ear. “I love you, Holly.”

“I love you, too. And I’m glad you’re home.” She gave him another squeeze and he pulled away.

“Don’t forget about me. I get one of those, too.” Ian took her by the waist and before she could say anything, he’d spun her around. His lips landed where Trent’s had just been.
Mmm
. Holly was in heaven.

Ian pulled back and smiled. “You’re going to have an amazing opening night. I love you.”

“I love you, too.” Holly kissed him again. “I couldn’t have done it without you.”

Ian grinned. “And I couldn’t have done it without Trent.” Ian glanced up at him. “You’re running the shipping way better than I ever could.”

Trent shrugged. “Guess it suits me. I get to be out in the field and Holly has a chance to do all this.”

Holly beamed.
 

Both her men were home, the restaurant’s opening party started soon, and she was the head chef. It was more than she’d ever hoped for. More than she’d ever dreamed possible.

She pulled away from Ian and flashed him and Trent a smile. “Guess what I baked for dessert?”
