In the bathroom I took my time and examined my reflection in the mirror as I washed my hands. I actually looked happy. The past few years, I always looked tired and there were hardly any smiles on my face unless I was around Lexine. This past week here has done wonders for the two of us. Lexine was much more active and playful than before. I stopped feeling so tired and sad all the time and I was in a great mood. I rethought my idea of telling them about loving them all at the same time since I forgot that I had mentioned loving them when I told them that we would stay. Instead I would tell them each in person and privately that I loved them. I would like to hear it from them as well. I think that they were waiting for me.


 Running upstairs to get my iPad, I changed my shoes into sneakers so that my feet wouldn't hurt standing in heeled boots for so long. I walked back to the kitchen and I could hear them talking as I got closer. I heard them laughing about Raven and his Russian male pride. Brady and Jake both looked up as I entered the kitchen with smiles on their faces. Between the two of them, the groceries were almost all put away and I felt spoiled by the guys. I was loving it!

When I was in a great mood, I liked to bake. I had made sure in the grocery store to get a lot of ingredients for baking various things. I wanted to bake a layer cake. Specifically a butter yellow cake with chocolate frosting!

"I want to bake something! I'm in the mood." I announced to them.

"Do these moods happen often?" Jake asked me with a wink.

I shrugged, "When I'm in a really good mood, I guess."

Brady grinned at me. "Well then, we'll just have to keep you in a good mood all the time huh?"

I rolled my eyes at them. "Then we would all be 500 pounds a wall would have to be removed just to get us out of the house!"

"Not necessarily," Jake said. "I can think of great ways to stay in shape and burn off calories!"

Brady reached out and fist bumped him. Honestly! Men always had sex on the brain. Admittedly, I also had sex on my mind quite a bit lately. Instead of letting them know that, I kicked them out of the kitchen. Agreeably as they left they did ask me to text them if I needed help because my shoulder was giving me trouble.

"Oh, Buttercup," Brady said, "Chase said that he would bring Lexine home so we don't have to go pick her up."

"Alright! Now go so that I can get started." I said and smacked both of them on the butt at the same time. They both gave me a look that promised retribution later. It made me shiver. To distract myself I set up my iPad to Netflix and started a movie playing and got to work on the cake. Once the cake batter was made and baking in the oven, I started on the frosting. I covered the bowl of it and decided to make cookies too. Snicker doodles sounded good to me. Using the hands free mixer on the counter I mixed up the dough and made the cinnamon sugar to dip them in. Setting out the cookies on the cookie sheets ready to cook, I pulled the cakes out of the oven when the timer went off.

I was lost in work and didn't notice the time flying by until I checked it on my iPad. I pulled the packages of ribs out and seasoned them. Setting them in a couple of pans and covering them with foil I put them in the second oven to bake. Deciding that there wasn't enough time to make scalloped potatoes from scratch, I pulled out a few boxes of mix for it. The cookies were piled on a big plate and I found a glass cake holder with a lovely dome to set over it. I carefully set the first layer down and covered it with frosting and did the same with the second layer.

As I put the finishing touches on it, I felt a heat against my back and knew that one of the guys was there. A hand reached around me and swiped some frosting with a finger. Turning around I saw Wyatt sticking his frosting covered finger in his mouth.

"Can't you wait till after dinner?" I scolded him.

"Nope. I needed a taste right now." he said with a grin and swept me up into a kiss.

"Tell me that you are spending the night with me darling." he demanded and kissed me again.

"I'm spending the night with you." I mumbled against his mouth.

I felt him smile and then he opened his mouth and used his tongue to French kiss me. I completely forgot that I was holding a chocolate frosting covered butter knife and almost dropped it. A hand grabbed it from mine and it startled me enough to pull back from Wyatt. Looking over, I saw Jake licking the frosting off the butter knife.

"Thanks for distracting her bro." Jake said and patted Wyatt's shoulder.

"You're welcome! It's fun distracting her." Wyatt said with a big grin and keeping his arms around me.

I heard a groan of appreciation and finally noticed that Brady had stolen some cookies and was eating one.

"These are damn good!" he exclaimed.

"Hey! You'll all spoil your appetites for dinner!" I said.

"No, we won't!" They all said at the same time.

It made me laugh and Wyatt pulled me tighter to him. "I love it when you laugh." he whispered in my ear. I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Seriously guys, I really hope that you do have room for dinner! I'm making something good..." I told them.

Jake opened the other oven and the wonderful savory smell of ribs filled the air. He closed the oven and asked, "Is that ribs? Whatever it is, it smells heavenly!"

"Yup!" I answered proudly. "It's ribs for dinner tonight! With Scalloped Potatoes and cornbread. At least there will be cornbread if I'm allowed to finish cooking dinner without any more interruptions."

Wyatt let go of me and said, "Ok! Let's leave her alone so that we get a good dinner! I haven't had cornbread in forever!"

Brady snagged a couple more cookies and passed one to Jake as they left the kitchen. Wyatt was the last one to leave. As he turned to go, I said to him, "Can I have one more kiss please?"

He spun around fast and was kissing me before I barely finished saying the word please. A minute later he lifted his head and asked, "Was that good enough?"

My legs were like jelly and my mind was in a daze. "Yes, yes..." He smirked at me and I woke up enough out of my lust fog to hand him a cookie and shoo him out of the kitchen. Tonight with Wyatt was going to be interesting and I looked forward to it.

As I pulled the cornbread out of the oven, Preston stepped into the kitchen with his suit jacket off and he was loosening his tie. "Hey there, how was your day?" he asked me.

"It was great! My car is getting worked on and Brady took me a drive in burger place where I met Raven. He was wearing pink!" I said giggling.

"Raven? In pink?" Preston looked amused.

"It's the uniform there. We didn't get to see him in skates though, he had already taken them off." I said walking over to him. Tiptoeing up I gave him a kiss on the lips. He lightly hugged me while kissing me back. "Cookies and cake for dessert?" he asked.

"Well, the cookies are for whenever and the cake is for dessert. I was in a good mood and I like to bake." I said shrugging.

"Sounds good to me," he said and looked around the kitchen. "Is dinner ready and do you need help carrying things out?"

"Yes." I said and had him carrying out the cornbread to start with and I finished transferring the ribs onto a huge platter. When everything was set out on the table, Chase arrived home with Lexine.

"Sorry, we are late. Lexine had a full day at school and fell asleep for a while. I took her to my office to let her nap on the couch while I caught up on some paperwork. I sat down next to her and managed to fall asleep myself." Chase explained to us.

I laughed and the other guys did too. I leaned down to give Lexine a hug and a kiss when she ran up to me. Chase came over and gave me a kiss as well. We all sat down to dinner and we ate the food (which they complimented) and laughed about poor Raven's mishaps today. Brady told them about me putting Raven in his place when he got too cocky with me.

"That is one Russian that you can't keep down!" Jake said while laughing. "Just wait until Kali hears about that. She will kick his butt!"

"I haven't met Kali yet." I said. "What does she look like?"

"She's a few inches taller than you, dark hair, green eyes and uh... very full figured on top. Kali is also very mouthy. Axel's whole team is enamored with her." Preston answered me.

"I'd like to meet her sometime."

"I'm sure that you will." Wyatt told me.

"So anything interesting happen at work today Chase?" Jake asked him.

"Sometimes, Chase has hilarious stories of patients and what they done to get hurt." Preston whispered in my ear.

"Well, today I had a young man come in with a bee sting." Chase said with a smile.

"A bee sting? That's not interesting at all!" Jake protested.

"It is if you know where the sting was at!" Chase said.

"Well? Where?"

"It was on a place that should never be stung! Below the belt buckle."

All the guys cringed and winced when they realized what that meant. I could only imagine how that must feel for a male. Sensitive body parts are not meant to be stung! I shook my head in sympathy. Then a thought occurred to me.

"How on earth did he get stung there?"

"That's a good question sweetie! He said that he was at a secluded park with his girlfriend having a picnic. They decided to get adventurous with some honey. You can guess the rest!"

I tried to keep a straight face. I really did! The corner of my mouth twitched. I couldn't help it and started to laugh. Really hard! Everyone else joined in and that's how dinner ended with everyone laughing and holding their stomachs.
