much. Despite what she thought, it took a caring person to be a nurse, a nurturing soul. Well, they were going to give her plenty to nurture. If she would give them the opportunity they could start building something, not just training her as a sub but maybe someone more to them.

Nate listened to Ashton with a heavy heart. Getting up, he walked over to the window, looking at the perfectly manicured lawn and wished he could make Ty and Ashton’s worlds perfect. He loved Ty and all his hurts that came with him, but Ashton was bringing her own pain. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. She could destroy Ty just when Nate had managed to build up his delicate trust. He might have a warrior’s body, but he had the trust of someone battered and broken. It had taken Nate years to get Ty to accept a birthday cake or presents, and Christmas was even worse. He felt like he had finally broken through all these levels of ice, and the idea of going through it all again had him second-guessing this plan.
He had always planned and hoped for a woman who could help him love Ty like he needed to be loved.
Taking a deep breath, he addressed her, hoping this would end well. “Ashton, please spend the day here with us and allow us to take you to the club tonight so you can learn a little more about our lifestyle. It might help you understand Sophie’s choices a little better. We promise no one will hurt or frighten you. You might be surprised and actually enjoy yourself. The people who choose our world are happy, well-rounded people. Most are professionals like doctors, lawyers, teachers, CEOs and, yes, even nurses. They are people with high-stress jobs that have found a safe way to ease some of that stress and frustration in their lives. Most of all, give us the opportunity to get to know you,” Nate requested.
He watched Ashton look at both of them, and he could see the inner tug-of-war. He couldn’t help but wonder if her desire for adventure would win.

Nate and Ty led her into their home media room and gestured towards the different pieces of furniture for her to make a selection. Nate sat first and Ty plopped down beside him, and the smile Nate threw her made her stomach clinch with interest. Hoping to take her mind off how attracted she was to these men, she took in her surrounds. The room had a masculine-yet-stylish appeal. She had a feeling the whole house would be the same. The crowning glory seemed to be the humungous flat screen hanging on the wall. The men where lounging on leather sofa that had reclining seats. Both men kicked back and out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of their hands brushing the others with affection. Her heart melted at the tender touch. It made her yearn for such a thing in her own life.
Ashton couldn’t help but mull over the different things she didn’t like about her life that had brought her to this point, and one of them had always been sex. It was never absolutely horrible but it was definitely nothing to brag about. The fact was the only time she had ever gotten off was by her own hand or a vibrator. It seemed that the men she’d always been with either didn’t care if she got off or were clueless. The ones that were lost always needed her to tell them what to do and that just flat out turned her off.
Seeing the male perfection that was sitting across from her that was currently laughing at the comedy, she wanted to know more about them other than how spectacular they looked. Nate was an inch or so shorter than Ty, but both men were built so well. She would guess them both to be around two-fifty and somewhere around six foot two and six foot three.
Curiosity got the best of Ashton and she asked. “Tell me your favorite food Ty?”
With an obvious laugh, he replied immediately. “Steak. Meat, and I do mean any kind of meat. I only eat the vegetables because Nate says we have to.”
Ashton couldn’t help but smile at the way that he was
