Grace was pacing her living room floor when she heard the telltale clomp of boots on her front porch. She’d given up on keeping the front door open so that she could greet Lane and Grant when they arrived because the thick, humid August heat had become unbearable.

But now that she heard them, she rushed to the door and yanked it open, staring directly up into Lane’s stony face.

It hadn’t been an hour since she’d received a text from Lane letting her know that he’d left the ranch to go find Grant and that they were en route back. He had asked her to meet them at her house. The last part of that text — it’s time we sit down and talk — had been what startled her the most.

Fear had been a tangible thing, making her hands sweat and her head hurt. So, instead of lingering at the main house for long, Grace had excused herself, purposely asking Hope if she could entertain Maddie and Ben for the afternoon. Not that she’d received an argument from Hope.

Unable to help herself, Grace threw her arms around Lane’s neck and hugged him. She must’ve caught him off guard because he nearly stumbled as he caught her, his big hand cupping the back of her head while his arm banded around her waist.

“I’m sorry for not telling you,” she whispered, referring to that morning when she hadn’t bothered to tell him about Grant’s father. She’d been dealing with the overwhelming guilt for most of the day, even as she tried to tell herself that she didn’t have time to deal with her personal problems.

Reluctantly releasing Lane, Grace took a step back and allowed both men to come inside. When Grant closed the door behind him and turned back to face her, their eyes met, held. And then Grace was running into his arms.

What it was that made her want to grab hold of them and not let go, she had no idea. But being with them right then seemed like the most important thing in the world. And now that they were there, she knew they were going to have to sit down and talk. As much as she didn’t want to, it was inevitable. After all, they couldn’t let this thing they’d started blow up before it really got underway.

Although they’d been together now for a few months, Grace would be the first to admit that they had used sex to bring them closer to one another. Unfortunately, sex wasn’t the most important aspect of a relationship — no matter how good it was.

“Sit,” Grace said, releasing Grant and stepping away from him. “Can I get you a beer?”

“Beer’s good,” Grant and Lane said at the exact same time.

While she was grabbing three bottles from the refrigerator,
