Delete.

Shaking her head, Kelsey closed her eyes. Utter disaster. They all thought she was going to marry them. It kinda followed, right?

They apparently loved her—who knew?—and she loved them.

She’d made love with each of them, and they all knew she wasn’t the kind of girl who could give her body without giving her heart.

Of course, each assumed she was going to marry him.

“Kelsey Rena, you’re being a bad girl, disappearing like this,”

Jeremy snapped . . . but he sounded concerned, almost desperate.

“Call me. This silence isn’t like you, and—”

Delete.

“Baby, I’m on for another forty-eight starting Sunday night.”

Rhys sounded choked. “I, um, talked to Tucker. He told me . . .

everything. I still love you. Guess you’re confused. We should talk and—”

Delete.

A heavy sigh she immediately knew belonged to Tucker came through the phone, then, “Kels, you can’t keep avoiding me—us—

forever.”

Delete.

Yeah? What would happen if she didn’t? If she tried to resume her life, nothing good would come of it. She didn’t have the strength to resist them all, and if she picked one . . . the other two would tempt her, pull on her heartstrings. She’d hurt them already far too much with her behavior, and that wasn’t acceptable.

Damn, why had she let passion get the better of her and thrown such caution to the wind?

“Kelsey, honey, this is Aunt Mary. Do you have a punch bowl we can borrow for the shower? Mine has a crack in it, and I don’t know that I’ll have time to fi nd another.”

Frowning against her headache, she deleted the message and made a mental note to run her punch bowl over to her aunt’s house.

“Ms. Rena, this is Dave Garrison.”

Again? She sighed. Why couldn’t any man in her life take no for an answer?

Because you’d actually have to say no fi rst.

“I’m going to call you every day until you say yes,” he vowed.

“This Miami job is a great opportunity. I’ll give you run of the of-fi ce. You can organize it however you like.”

Kelsey’s lifted her finger over the delete button . . . but lingered, rather than pressed.

“Whatever Beck is paying you, I’ll increase it by twenty-fi ve percent and pay ten thousand dollars of your moving expenses. I need you here yesterday. I know Beck is easier on the eyes, but I’m less of a bastard to work for.” He hesitated. “Call me. Day. Night.

You have my number.”

Biting her lip, Kelsey deleted that message too.

“You fucked Tucker too!” Jeremy roared two seconds later.

“You’d better get your pretty ass back here so I can paddle it and remind you who you belong to. When I’m done, you’ll know—”

Delete.

More voice mails followed from all the guys, all angry and confused. Hurt. She hit delete.

What was she going to do? Naturally, they’d all want any woman they cared about to themselves. She’d been raised to believe one man, one woman. Marriage. Together forever.

The feelings she had now tested all that—to the limit.

After she finished deleting all the voice mails and hung up, Kelsey took another swig of the wine and paced.
