“I’m a little nervous, but I figured, when am I ever going to have this chance again?” she says.
I’m about to tell her that she can have a night like this anytime she wants it, but before I can speak, Leo calls me over. “Troy, can you cut these mushrooms?”
“Sure.” I give Lorraine a kiss on the top of her head and rejoin the work in the kitchen.
“If I hadn’t watched you make this, I’d have suspected you brought it from a restaurant,” Lorraine says once she’s two bites into her dinner. “This is the best lasagna I’ve ever had.”
“What about the salad?” Leo says. “That’s some pretty great salad I made, isn’t it?”
“From a prepacked kit,” Dante says.
“Every bit of the meal is delicious,” Lorraine says. “This is really a treat. Thank you.”
“Our pleasure,” Darian says.
I can’t take credit for much of the meal either, but if a home-cooked dinner makes Lorraine this happy, then I’m going to ask Dante for some lessons.
I can’t explain how seeing her smile makes me feel, but it’s something I aim to make happen as much as I can.

Lorraine
The main reason that I invited the men to my house was because I was afraid they’d splurge on another stay at a fancy resort. I have a well-paying job, and the Beach Resort would’ve put a big dent in my budget. I don’t want them spending money on things like that when they’re trying to grow their business.
The other reason, one that was mostly in the back of my mind, is that Nick’s presence still echoes through the house, even though he’s been gone for quite some time. A night with these men, here in the bedroom I used to share with him, will surely expel the unwanted memories. Even just sitting at the dining room table eating with them is bringing so much joy back to the space.
Despite my pleasure at having them here, my feelings are still very mixed about tonight. Of course, I’m excited about the sex, and I love spending time with them, but sadness edges all of it, since tonight will be my last time with them. Tonight will be worth the sadness that will follow, though. I’m sure of that.
“I’m excited for the new additions to the yard,” I tell them. “You’ve done such a great job out there. You’ve brought it all back to life.” They’ve brought me back to life, too.
“Our pleasure,” Darian says again.
I suppose they won’t need to come by so often for yard work once the new things are planted, and maybe that will be for the best, because I have a feeling that seeing them after tonight, after this fantasy arrangement is over, is going to be torture. Maybe I’ll even have to purposely not be home when they come by. I can’t imagine watching them work shirtless in the yard again, now that I’ve been under their hard bodies.
“Who’s ready for more?” Dante asks, reaching for the spatula that’s in the lasagna pan.
I opt for a small second helping, because it’s too good to stop eating, and the men all have more, but amazingly, there’s still some left when we’re all done.
I start to clear our plates, but they insist that they’ll take care of it. I’m sent to the living room with a refilled wine glass while the four of them put away the leftovers, rinse plates, load the dishwasher, and wipe down the counters. Someday, these men are going to make great husbands for some lucky women, if such a thing as a great husband exists.
When they’re finished, they join me, Leo and Dante taking the spots on either side of me on the couch, and Troy and Darian taking the chairs. Even though my belly is full from the delicious dinner, there is apparently still plenty of room in there for butterflies. I check myself to see if I’m having second thoughts, but there are only nerves and excitement fluttering around.
“Is there anything the four of you can’t do?” I ask them. “Landscaping, dancing, cooking, massages. And everything I’ve seen you do, you do to perfection.”
“We’re looking forward to doing more things tonight to perfection,” Leo says, sliding a big hand along my thigh.
“I have no doubt.”
“Any specific requests for what’s to follow?” Leo asks, my skin heating and my pussy throbbing at the thought of what’s to follow.
“This is new to me,” I say. “I wouldn’t know what to request.” My fantasies have mostly involved having all of their hands and mouths on me. “Have you all … shared before?”
He shakes his head, giving a brief glance to Dante and Darian. “Not all of us.”
“Are you sure you’re okay with it?” The last thing I’d want to do is cause any kind of tension or awkwardness in their relationships with each other.
