I&#8217;ll need the girl&#8217;s ID.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She wore heavy make up, low cut wrap around floral dress and she had sandy curly bobbed hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No. She showed Ed earlier. Get the drinks, Jessie.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Never the less-&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Jessie, she&#8217;s good. Serve the girl,&#8221; Ed called interrupting her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She didn&#8217;t look happy and did as she was told, putting two bottles of Jack Daniels to one side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Anything else?&#8221; She asked sweetly, fluttering her lashes at Kraven who was still holding Victoria&#8217;s hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Actually\u2026&#8221; He glanced at Victoria, then back to Jessie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Give me a Jack.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She poured a glass and he paid, giving the glass of Jack to Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Try this, little one and of you don&#8217;t like it we&#8217;ll get you something else.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She nodded her head and he watched as she drank the shot of whiskey in one go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her face scrunched up and she stuck out her tongue in disgust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Vile,&#8221; She cringed and he couldn&#8217;t help but chuckle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Alright, little princess, choose something else to test.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hmm\u2026&#8221; She moved closer to the bar and looked over. It was only thanks to her high-heels she could see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;W..what is that one?&#8221; He was surprise she asked Jessie herself, even if it was quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This?&#8221; The barmaid held up a black and red bottle with gold writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Tia Maria, coffee and rum mixture. It&#8217;s my personal favourite.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing Victoria&#8217;s interest her ordered a glass of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She didn&#8217;t have to say anything her expression was enough. He ordered two bottles of that too knowing the others would likely have a drink of it too. Again the finished it off, but not at once as she did the shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And with the drinks the pair returned to the brothers who were happily chatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kraven loved how quickly the pair bonded and knew no matter what, Theo would never leave him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They had been through hell together and Theo had pulled him out, saved him. That was part of the reason he fell in love with him in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Baby, what are you giggling about?&#8221; Theo asked as she sat down laughing to herself. The drink had clearly gone straight to her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I love Kraven, he&#8217;s amazing,&#8221; She sat his lap and laid her head in his chest. Kraven smiled happily and hugged her to him, kissing the top of her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And me?&#8221; Theo asked expectantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I love you too. You have pretty hair. You are a good wife.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Wife?&#8221; Tristan asked confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theo&#8217;s cheeks turned red. She took a large gulp of her beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Can I watch you two again? I didn&#8217;t see much last time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A look of realisation crossed Tristan&#8217;s face and he couldn&#8217;t help but smirk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another large drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ah, Tristan, maybe you can get naked too. Kraven and I can play spot the difference.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You are such a little pervert,&#8221; Kraven chuckled still holding her on his lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I..I only want..wanted to s..s..see. I wasn&#8217;t gonna do anything,&#8221; She said embarrassed, hiding her face in his shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t be embarrassed, Vicky,&#8221; He leaned in and whispered, &#8220;I&#8217;d like to see them kiss each other.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She glanced at the twins and imagined it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Why are you blushing, baby?&#8221; Theo asked with a slight smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She shock her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I need to go to the ladies,&#8221; She said standing up and walking a couple of steps before turning back to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Y..you&#8217;ll wait for me, wo..won&#8217;t you?&#8221; She asked nervously, chewing her bottom lip and shuffling her feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All three men frown. &#8220;Of course, baby. You&#8217;re never losing us.&#8221; Kraven nodded in agreement and she glanced at Tristan and he smiled fondly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll be here, Ma Ch\u00e9rie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She smiled and headed in the direction of the Gals bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I see why you feel so strong about her,&#8221; Tristan said once she was gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;She is so unlike the women I know. So beautiful, yet so sweet, innocent and refreshingly honest. I like her.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Just for instances, if I was willing to share, what would your plans be?&#8221; Theo asked curiously. He had been thinking almost nonstop about sharing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am thirty-four. I wish to find a woman to settle down with. But in truth, until now I have never felt anything but lust. I lust for Victoria, but I also feel a deeper connection I never felt before.&#8221; He glanced to Kraven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I have also felt things for you I have never experienced for another man.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kraven seemed distracted. He was watching the ladies restroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not promising anything, but we&#8217;ll see how things go,&#8221; Theo told his brother and his brother smiled, giving him a side hug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I promise I will take care of your family. I broke it off with all my girls when I met you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;All? How many girls were you seeing?&#8221; Theo asked his brother amused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I\u2026&#8221; He stopped hearing a giggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All three men watched the short blonde walk over giggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s tickled you, baby?&#8221; Theo asked as she sat down beside him and Kraven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Buffalo Bill,&#8221; She giggled breathlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As though on cue, Jessie exited the ladies looking annoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What happened, little one?&#8221; Kraven asked concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The bar lady said you are hers, Kraven.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three men look confused because she was still laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Sorry. I have the giggles,&#8221; She said breathlessly, stopping herself from laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t be sorry, you are so beautiful.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of blushing she grinned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And you are too. I think we could make some beautiful babies.&#8221; She looked dreamily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Can we go home? I don&#8217;t like the horsies and Ozzie being alone. They&#8217;ll be lonely.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The men couldn&#8217;t help but smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Bel ange,&#8221; Tristan said staring at her as though she had just confessed her love for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What does that mean, Tristan?&#8221; She asked tilting her head to the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Dieu sauve-moi,&#8221; He mumbled under his breath so she couldn&#8217;t hear but his brother could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His brother looked at him curiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Beautiful angel,&#8221; He told her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Me?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Of course. Beauty and kindness is rare in my world. My brother and Kraven are lucky to have such a fantastic woman.&#8221; He was pleased to see her cheeks redden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are indeed.&#8221; Kraven hugged her waist and kissed the neck. Theo did the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A mewl escaped her lips and both men shared a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Are you ready to go, bro?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He downed the last of his drink and nodded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking to the bar together, the barmaid glared at Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Jessie, stop being a bitch and give them the bottles,&#8221; Ed told his sister as the guys approached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She grunted and handed Kraven the bottles, all the time glaring at Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What the fuck is your problem?!&#8221; He all but growled at her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The twins looked just as angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s angry because Kraven is mine and she is buffalo Bill,&#8221; Victoria whispered the last part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ed must have heard and understood because he burst out laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His sister glared at her brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll show you when we get home,&#8221; She told them as they collected their drinks and left the bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back at the ranch\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You three make drinks and snacks!&#8221; Victoria ordered running up the stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three mens eyes were glued to her backside as she disappeared upstairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No.&#8221; The twins both looked at Kraven. &#8220;We can&#8217;t do anything with her, not while she is drunk. She deserves better.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They all agree, kissing and hugging only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;But I do like she is now speaking to me,&#8221; Tristan commented as they collected glasses and snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes, drink has loosened her tongue.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seconds later she ran back down and plugged something into the back of the television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A moment later she had the television on and a movie playing. Silence Of The Lambs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things seemed to click in their heads and they all ended up laughing and talking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I felt bad, but she was the spitting image of Bill in drag,&#8221; She said giggling. Buffalo Bill aka the skin suit wearing, crossdressing serial killer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon the conversation turned to Jessie&#8217;s crush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Jessie was in our year at school. She has an older sister, Ella-May. She was the first woman we had sex with.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Both of you?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Kraven, then me. She is five years older than us. She was nice, she wasn&#8217;t judgemental like most of the town. It wasn&#8217;t until afterwards Jessie confessed to Kraven but he wasn&#8217;t interested.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We used to sleep around, but we avoid people like Jessie because they expect more,&#8221; Kraven explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Victoria was sat on Theo&#8217;s lap drinking her drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What about you, Tris? How did you lose your virginity?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It was a stable hand, an older woman.&#8221; A pause. &#8220;I don&#8217;t remember her name now, she wasn&#8217;t with us long.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You have a lot of girlfriends?&#8221; She asked curiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I did have a several women I was seeing but I finished with them recently.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Several? You were cheating?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He shook his head. &#8220;No, we were only sleeping together. They knew about one another. I would never cheat on a real girlfriend.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;So you&#8217;re not going to steal Theo for your girlies?&#8221; She was hugging Theo&#8217;s neck. She was more than a little drunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No, ma Ch\u00e9rie. I promise Theo and Kraven will be staying with you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re stuck with us, baby.&#8221; Theo placed a gentle kiss on her lips and Kraven squeezed her leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Will any be at the wedding?&#8221; Victoria asked curiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes. But do not worry. They are nice people. Well, apart from Claudine. But I promise I won&#8217;t let her hurt any of you.&#8221; He addressed all of them but was looking at Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He adored her already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You are a good man, I think. I love your brother and Kraven. Are you going to share like your fathers?&#8221; Drunken Victoria was a lot more forthright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We have spoken about it,&#8221; Theo spoke this time. &#8220;And as long as it is alright with you and Kraven, I thought we could give it a go, see how things go.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kraven raised a brow surprised, he hadn&#8217;t heard them discussing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As long as my little princess and you are alright, I will try. But let me warn you now\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tristan stopped him. &#8220;If I am luckily enough to share in the love the three of you share then I will promise I will do nothing to ruin that. I won&#8217;t be sleeping around.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They all looked to Victoria for her answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You are handsome like my Theo and you seem kind. I think we can try. But I&#8217;ve never done anything before\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He smiled. &#8220;I know and I, like my brother, am more than willing to wait.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Maybe\u2026 Maybe we can hold hands for now,&#8221; She suggested sweetly and he couldn&#8217;t help but smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But reached out and took her hand in his. Hers was much smaller than his. Then again, she was a small beautiful woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If we&#8217;re going to do this, tell us more about you,&#8221; Kraven said stroking Victoria&#8217;s thigh absentmindedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What would you like to know?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Every.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Well\u2026 You already know a lot. I am the older twin, I have no tattoos. I am workout regularly. I do most of the paperwork for my families businesses.
