Ride Me Three Times

I came to Coyote Glen to say goodbye. Scatter my grandmother's ashes. Read her letter. Leave before the town could get its hooks in me. Then Finn Reilly smiled at me across a crowded bar . . . He ruined every plan I had with one reckless night. One mistake I swore I'd never repeat . . . but can't seem to forget. Coyote Glen has a way of pulling you deeper. Because Finn isn't the only man watching me now. There's Zane—quiet, grumpy, and gentle in ways that make my chest ache. The kind of man who fixes things without being asked . . . including me. And Ryder—their leader. Older. Controlled. Dangerous. He looks at me like I’m something he shouldn't touch—but wants to anyway. They're nothing like me. Bad men with rough hands and darker pasts. Men who make me feel protected. Wanted. And when shadows from their past start circling me, I realize I'm no longer just passing through their world . . . I'm part of it. The more time I spend protected in their arms, the harder it is to remember who I was before them. Before I started to belong somewhere. Once was accidental. Twice was inevitable. But three times? That's when they claimed me.
