Forever in Haven's Crossing by Kyleigh Drake

too.
    The next morning, Kim woke up to the smell of coffee and Caleb rubbing her back.
    “Wake up, sugar,” he said gently.
    “Noooo, I don’t wanna,” she yawned, as she stretched her body. She then turned over on her stomach and put the pillow over her head.
    Caleb swatted her bottom. “But you gotta—so get moving.” She smiled as he went to fix her some coffee. She quickly showered and found all of her clothes put away in the chest of drawers and in the closet. Now when in the hell did they do that? After looking in the closet, she decided on a simple skirt, her favorite blouse that accentuated her breasts nicely, and a pair of flats. She put on some makeup, fixed her dark brunette hair and put it in a sexy, but casual updo, and then looked in the mirror. Her face was glowing. She looked pretty damn good. A quick spritz of her perfume and she was ready to go.
    As she walked into the kitchen, both Caleb and Logan looked up at her, but neither said anything. “Is, uh, everything okay?” she asked in hesitation.
    “Oh, everything is better than okay, darlin’,” Logan said softly. “You just take our breath away.” Both men stood and walked toward her. Logan got behind her and grabbed her around her waist, nuzzling the side of her neck. “Damn, if you don’t smell good enough to eat.” She wasn’t able to respond though, because Caleb had taken his position in front and was kissing her lips. Her knees almost gave out and Logan instinctively tightened his grip. Could every morning be like this please?
    Caleb broke away from her lips reluctantly. “We gotta go.”
    “I know, I know,” Logan said, taking a deep breath.
    They escorted her out, opening all of the doors for her in the process. Why can’t all men be like this? She had to get in carefully, as her skirt made it difficult to climb into the pickup. She then scooted over into the middle of the seat, her very favorite place to be. They only drove about a mile or so, before coming to another large, older home. Kim was a little nervous and was trying to calm the butterflies in her stomach. She noticed Caleb watching her. “It’s okay, sugar—they’re gonna love ya as much as we do.” She took his hand and held on tight as they got out and started walking up the steps to the porch. They didn’t even make it up one step before the front screen door flew open and a gray-haired woman about Kim’s height came out, drying her hands on a dish towel.
    “Oh, my Lord—Kim, it’s so nice to meet you, honey,” she said with enthusiasm, giving Kim the biggest hug she had ever had. She felt so warm and full of love that Kim wished she had a mom like that to hug.
    She introduced herself as “Sara” and proceeded to usher Kim through the door to meet her husbands, leaving Caleb and Logan behind. As Kim looked over her shoulder, Logan winked and Caleb smiled, shrugging his shoulders. They had only been there a matter of minutes, but Kim felt like she had known these people forever. They were so kind to her, a perfect stranger, but they acted as though they really liked her. Sara was a little chatterbox, which Kim appreciated, because there were no awkward moments of silence. After about an hour, and after telling his mother at least three times they didn’t want any breakfast, Caleb kissed his mother on the cheek and said, “Mom, we really have to go, but we’ll bring her back, I promise.” She smiled and finally agreed, but then they all had to hug good-bye, which took another several minutes.
    Kim had never felt so much love in such a short amount of time. It was so overwhelming and she felt a tear fall down her cheek, followed by a few more. Logan had gone ahead to the pickup, but Caleb saw the tears and was concerned. He didn’t say anything though, until they were all in the pickup driving away. “What’s all this cryin’ about, sweetheart?” Caleb asked, causing Logan to look at her, too. As soon as they went around the corner out of sight
