wanted a jock who’d take over the ranch for the family. Eli didn’t measure up.
    “Sure, don’t you? Even in this unusual situation. It’s amazing you four get along.” Ash looked him in the eye. “If you don’t want me around, it’s okay. Just make it clear. I really like it here. I know it’s fast and sounds insane.”
    “It is fast, but that can happen. You just moved back home. We expected you’d be visiting more with your family and friends.” Eli had wanted to keep his distance, but he slowly walked over.
    “Sunday dinner with the family. My friends, I see every day. I’ve always felt lonely here. My family didn’t quite understand me. I only have brothers. In high school, most of my friends just wanted to unseat me from what I had. Guys wanted to date me as a status symbol. Now, I have real friends and real men. At least, I hope.” She put the chicken on a platter and handed it to him.
    “Ready for dinner?” he asked.
    Ash leaned up and kissed him softly. “It’s all ready.”
    Eli took the chicken out to the dining room and nodded to the guys. He’d never thought of Ash’s life as lonely. She’d been the popular girl who’d had everything, but people had wanted to take it from her. As she entered with the side dishes, he wanted to stop her and tell her she wasn’t a status symbol to him, now or then.
    He got the bread, and she grabbed the salad. The woman put on a dinner like an expert. Her mama raised her to do what all good southern women do: feed their families. Ash did it with grace. It wasn’t beneath her, but it wasn’t about her self-worth either.
    They all sat and tested her cooking. The raves made Eli chuckle, but she was a great cook. As they ate, the other guys watched Ash and Eli carefully. It irked Eli that they were so ready to jump into something. The plan to dump her clearly was gone in their minds.
    Eli didn’t want to hurt her, but she hadn’t proven to be a team player. One couldn’t be selfish or jealous and do the group thing. He worried she’d balk when others needed the focus. That bit of diva in her made him worry. She’d be the only woman in the group, but Fred could get a little diva-like, too. They all had their moods.

    When the dishes were done, Ash wiped down the table like an obsessive housekeeper.
    “What’s for dessert?” Eli asked.
    Ash blushed. “I thought that was me.”
    “Just what we wanted.” Jackson kissed her.
    “Since the table is clean, why don’t we give that a try?” Eli tugged off his shirt then went after Fred’s.
    “Kinky. I love when you get like this.” Fred kissed his man.
    Eli and Fred undressed each other and watched as Xavier and Jackson stripped Ash before each other. The naked woman sat in the center of the table like the main course. Her perky breasts were concealed by her knees and her soft skin flushed in anticipation.
    Fred climbed up first and kissed her as if it’d been months. Eli went for supplies and returned to find Ash on her hands and knees sucking Jackson and Xavier while Fred teased her ass.
    “You are determined.” Eli winked at Fred after he’d scattered condom and lube packets on the table.
    “She asked for it.” Fred winked.
    “That’s right. Didn’t you, Ash?” Jackson ran his hand through her hair.
    “Yes, I want to try it. See if I like it.” Ash smiled at Eli and went back to sucking cock.
    Eli’s cock throbbed at the thought. With one hand, he massaged her breasts. With the other, he dipped a finger into her ass next to Fred’s tongue. Ash moaned and rocked for more.
    “I think she can take it.” Eli went deeper, and her jaw dropped. Her body took him, and Fred’s tongue followed.
    “Your cocks are so much bigger than a finger. The anticipation is killing me. Just do it,” Ash said.
    He gave her a second finger and felt her shake. Fred rubbed her clit, and she relaxed. Eli made it to the second knuckle before she tensed. Looking over, he saw Ash still trying hard to
