grown man and as far as he
was concerned, V was his to worry about. They didn’t have any right to keep him
in the dark.
    “Travis
is trying to nail down where Jake’s at, but we don’t know anything yet.”
    “How
long’s this been going on?” he asked Sawyer who seemed to be the only one
willing to talk. Kaleb had hastily stuck his face back in his laptop.
    “From
what we know, about two months. About the same time you woke up.”
    Zane
wondered whether the timing was coincidental or if Jake had been keeping tabs
on Zane’s condition. Either way, it didn’t make a damn bit of difference to
him.
    “Have
either of you looked into it?” Zane knew Travis would be keeping an eye out.
His brother was known for having eyes and ears all over the place.
    It
still surprised him that Travis hadn’t yet figured out where Jake was, nor did
they have the names of the other three who’d been with him that day. Zane
hadn’t known any of them. In fact, he’d never even seen them. The only thing
they knew was that those three weren’t from Coyote Ridge.
    “We’ve
been talking to Beau. He’s taken an interest in V for the last couple of
months. He’s watching her back, but I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know that.”
    That
wasn’t news to Zane. Beau was his best friend. They’d discussed what happened,
and they were both on the same page. V was the most important as far as Zane
was concerned and while he’d been in the hospital, Beau had agreed to keep an
eye on her. As discreetly as possible.
    He
seriously needed to meet up with Beau. There were some other things Zane was ready
to discuss. Like how they were going to handle Vanessa Carmichael now that Zane
was home.

    “When
does Gage get back in town?” V asked Zoey as they sat in a booth at Moonshiners
a couple of hours later.
    After
going home and showering, she waited for Zoey to return and pick her up, for a
much needed night out. Nursing a beer and watching the few people mulling about
the bar, she wondered whether she should’ve just stayed home.
    Although
she hoped a drink would help alleviate some of her tension, V knew better than
to think it would. Her stress was primarily related to one gorgeous as hell
cowboy whom she couldn’t seem to get off of her mind lately. No matter how hard
she tried.
    “Next
week.” Zoey grinned.
    “Are
you counting down the days?” V still couldn’t believe the bomb her best friend
had dropped on her a couple of months ago. After a particularly stressful day,
they’d both resorted to a few too many drinks and Zoey’s mouth had gotten away
from her. According to her friend, she was happily enjoying a threesome with
Gage Matthews and her fiancé, Kaleb. Or rather she had been before Gage set out
on the road again. Being a long haul truck driver, Gage was usually gone more
than he was home.
    “Maybe,”
Zoey’s smile lit up her entire face. The woman was something else.
    V
shouldn’t have been surprised by the news that Zoey was currently the focus of
both men’s attention considering the history that Gage and Kaleb had. It wasn’t
a secret that the two of them had a penchant for threesomes. Those rumors had
come and gone a long time ago. They’d ceased to exist once Kaleb and Gage
openly admitted to their trysts years ago.
    V
was well aware of the stories. There were plenty to go around, and they all
involved one or more of the Walker brothers. It seemed each of the brothers had
their own kinks, and they all somehow involved ménages in some way. Kaleb and
Gage, Sawyer and Greyson, Zane and Beau... They were best friends who were
notorious for their threesomes with willing women and not a single one of them
denied it.
    V
knew Braydon and Brendon had had their fair share of rumors, but those two were
a little different. Not that she had asked either of them, but from everything
she had heard, neither had ever been with a girl unless the other was present.
She wasn’t sure whether it was true or not,
