“Don’t forget to make a wish,” she said just before he blew out all the candles.
He stopped briefly and winked at her. How could such a simple act make her heart beat faster? She was in love.
Gabe blew out the candles, then stood back upright. She hugged his side, and he tucked her in close. “What did you wish for?” she asked.
“Can’t tell you that.”
“I don’t know if I can eat a piece of cake after that meal,” Archie said. He sat in the recliner with the required birthday hat on his head.
“It’s strawberry shortcake,” Vinny said.
Archie shrugged. “I guess I’ll find room then.”
She began to slice the cake, placing pieces on the cute disposable plates she’d bought weeks ago for today. Annalise couldn’t help but wonder if her men had any happy childhood birthday memories. They’d had hard lives growing up, but that was the past now.
After a few hours of relaxing in the living room, allowing their food to digest, they all headed outside for a bonfire.
Gabe and Archie gathered the kindling and logs while Vinny got the fire started. She sat back on one of the log benches with a warm shawl around her shoulders. Although the days were scorching hot, the evenings had a nip to them.
“Did you see the look on his face?” Archie said.
“It was pretty rewarding,” Gabe said, dropping an armful of cut wood from the pile they kept by the barn. They heated the house with wood in the winter months, and they were always prepared well in advance.
“At least we don’t have to worry about overzealous inspectors again.” Vinny got the fire roaring. She could already feel the heat, the sparks flying up into the dark night sky. Out here in the country, they could really enjoy the stars. This was exactly where she wanted to be. She wouldn’t trade all the luxuries in the world for the simple life.
“I didn’t think we’d be able to get out of that mess,” Gabe said, sitting down next to her on the bench. He set a strong hand on her thigh.
“Thanks to Annalise, we’ll never have to worry about him again,” Archie said.
It was true that things felt hopeless for a while. She would have sacrificed her own happiness to save the ranch and ensure her cowboys weren’t put through hell because of her stepfather. But now she could breathe. With the recording in her possession, he’d move on and leave them all alone.
She didn’t need her so-called family because she had her own.
Annalise turned to Gabe. The evening was perfect, the sounds of nature all around them. “I’m sorry, but I didn’t get you a gift. I wanted to, but I couldn’t think of anything.”
He kissed her forehead. “I don’t need a present from you. You made an amazing dinner and birthday. Most of all you cared, you tried to make my day special. That means a lot.”
“Did I succeed?”
“Best birthday ever,” he said.
“Oh, I know a way or two it can be even better,” Vinny said. The other two cowboys were sitting opposite them now, the dancing flames between them.
“Such as?” she asked.
Vinny ran a hand through his hair. “I don’t know. You naked. The three of us sharing you.”
“It’s my birthday, not yours,” Gabe said.
“Don’t be cruel,” Archie said. “We did your work all day. It wasn’t a cake walk.”
“True.”
Gabe had taken the entire day off. The guys insisted on it. He’d relaxed in the hammock while she cooked. Of course, she made sure to bring him fresh lemonade and wait on him every chance she got.
“That’s a good idea,” she said. “Anything Gabe wants since I didn’t buy a gift.”
They all chuckled.
“What?” she asked.
“Careful what you wish for, baby girl,” Gabe said.
Annalise knew precisely what they wanted, and she was more than ready. Their unique ménage relationship wouldn’t feel complete until they filled her at the same time, binding them, making this symbolically official. Just thinking about it made her pussy weep and clench. Their bodies were hard with muscle, rugged, and scarred. One cock would be deep in her cunt, satisfying the deep-seated ache. Another would be in her mouth. The third would take her virgin ass, stretching her, making her impossibly full of cowboy cock.
They were filthy but loving. Virile but patient and attentive. She felt safe with each one of them, trusted them, and wanted to spend the rest of her life with all three of them.
The way they looked at her drove her crazy with desire. They made her feel beautiful, sexy, and wanted. She couldn’t believe how lucky she’d become after such a rocky start in her life. Tonight was about Gabe though, making his birthday sex more than memorable. She’d trust him with her body because she’d already given him her heart.

Gabe never thought he’d see this day at his age, but there was no denying it—he was completely head over heels in love with Annalise. She was a mix of innocence and determination. As she watched the fireflies with magical wonder, he knew he’d do anything for her. She was the complete opposite from the women he’d dated in the past.
Right now, all he wanted to do was spread her thighs and claim her over and over again. They’d all enjoyed sharing her and sometimes she’d sleep with only one of them at a time. It worked for them. They’d never shared her in the traditional sense, fucking her at the same time. It had been a fantasy on his mind since their first night together.
No way Archie and Vinny hadn’t thought about it too. It was a balancing act to not scare her away and move to that next step in their ménage relationship.
“We should head inside. It’s getting cold,” he said.
She nodded, hugging her shawl tighter.
Vinny handled dousing the fire as Gabe led Annalise inside.
“You liked your birthday?” she asked.
“I loved my birthday.” He checked his watch. “It’s not quite over yet, is it?”
She smiled.
Once they were all inside, all eyes were on her. She set her shawl on the back of the sofa and flicked her red hair back.
“Maybe we should do this here for a change,” she said.
He watched her slip out of her pants and tug off her sweater. She stood there in the dimly lit room in just her bra and panties.
“Look at that body,” Vinny said. “Does it belong to us?”
“You know it does,” she said. “It’s never belonged to anyone else, and certainly not my stepfather.”
“Let’s not talk about him,” Archie said, motioning her to take off more with a wave of his hand.
Gabe felt his cock stirring as she slid the first strap of her bra down. She was being a tease, moving slowly, seductively. She was usually more shy than risqué. He wasn’t complaining.
“All the way off,” Vinny said.
Her bra fell to the floor, her big, lush tits on public display. His mouth salivated with the desire to suck on her firm pink nipples.
“You may as well go all the way, baby.” Archie leaned over his knees, watching intently.
She didn’t say a word, shimmying out of her panties until she stood in the living room completely naked. Her soft, pale skin and every rounded curve were things of beauty. Her breasts sloped out into tempting peaks, her hips round and inviting.
