Use Me [Dungeon Masters 5] (Siren Publishing Menage Everlasting) by Cara Adams Page B

and also about Sunday brunches with her family. But hopefully during the weekend somewhere she’d find a couple of hours for him and Raff. Or even better, an entire night.
    When he did get there it was to find Raff harnessing the bigger horse up to an old toboggan.
    “Damn that’s a clever idea. Why didn’t I think of it?” he said, leaning on the gate to the field.
    “I was actually thinking of a sled to get the tubs down the stairs. Remember Violet almost sledding down them the day the hot water unit exploded?”
    “I certainly do. The thought that she might have been killed still gives me the heebie-jeebies. And then I picture her face. Laughing. She was laughing!”
    He still couldn’t get over her attitude to the disaster. Any other woman would have been screaming her head off. Instead Violet was sailing down the stairs laughing and calling it her personal water slide.
    He shook his head. “A sled to slide the tubs down the stairs. A board with rollers under it maybe?”
    “And then Pedro will drag it for us the rest of the way.”
    “Good thinking. That sounds like a plan.”
    It took them a while to negotiate the doorways in the house. Even though the renovation was by no means complete, Darcy didn’t want chunks bashed out of the drywall if they could help it. Violet stayed with the two horses in the field, and when they had the first tub out of the house, she brought Pedro over to them and held his reigns while they tied the tub into the toboggan. It didn’t quite fit, but it was going to make the transfer a hell of a lot easier than him and Raff carrying the damn things.
    Violet had saddled up Princess and she rode while Raff led Pedro and Darcy walked beside the toboggan, making sure the load didn’t shift. Violet opened the gate into the field for them and took them to the other side of the property where there was a pasture that had evidently not been used in a while. The grass was quite long. They left the tub where she wanted it and made their slow way back to the house and did it all again with the second tub. By the time it, too, was in place in a different pasture, Darcy was covered with sweat even though the day wasn’t all that warm.
    “Thank you. Now I can let the horses experience those fields as well. I’m sure they’ll like exploring a new pasture and eating fresh grass,” said Violet.
    “Have you thought of an easy way to fill the bathtubs with water?” Darcy asked Raff. He sure as hell hadn’t gotten any new ideas.
    “Wait until it rains?” suggested Raff. But he had a grin on his face so Darcy thought likely he had a few other ideas as well.
    “Oh, that’s all under control. One of my cousins, Lorenzo, has got some of those giant barrels to hold cold drinks for summer barbecues. They come with trolleys on wheels. I’ll just borrow them and someone’s truck to bring them here. I can ask tomorrow at brunch. It’s at one of his sisters’ houses.”
    That gave Darcy the opportunity to ask the question he’d been holding inside himself all morning. “What are you doing this evening, Violet? Would you like to come to a dungeon with Raff and me?”
    “If I do, will you both come to brunch with me tomorrow?”
    Pushy. The woman was damn pushy. “Yes.”
    “I’d be honored to,” added Raff.

    * * * *

    Violet and Raff unhitched the horses and rubbed them down while Darcy put everything away and locked the barn and the house. Violet couldn’t help the smile that kept sneaking across her face. Everything was coming together brilliantly. The horses could soon move into a couple of other fields. It’d be good for them to explore somewhere new. They’d been so good and helpful today they deserved a nice treat.
    Add to that a visit to the dungeon, something she’d been hoping to experience for a while now, and then she’d take both men to brunch tomorrow. Maybe they’d even spend tonight together, although she wasn’t so sure about that. They definitely couldn’t come
