Sins of the Past (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

her own head. She felt like she had an angel on one shoulder telling her to go for it because she deserved to be happy at least once in her life. She could have that with the two men. On the other shoulder, she had a little red devil telling her to go for it as well. The only problem was, it was telling her to go for it for completely different reasons. The devil was telling her she needed to finally accept the reality that she was a slut exactly like her mother. It was safe to say her head was screwed up at the moment.
    Lorna washed her hands and dressed before easing the door open. Both men were still asleep. She was torn between waking them up and telling them why she was leaving, but even she couldn’t explain what she was feeling. She needed to work things out in her own head before talking to them, but she didn’t want them to think she regretted what happened and was running from them. She decided she would call them later once she thought over everything and tell them why she left. Hopefully they would forgive her.
    With one last look at the two men, she headed home. It was a little after seven in the morning, but the summer heat was already unbearable. Lorna could feel sweat starting to bead on her forehead as she made her way across the street to her house. She wondered if a hot bath was a smart idea in this heat, but her protesting muscles quickly put an end to that thought. Lorna was sore in places she didn’t even know she could get sore in. She ignored the idiot honking his horn and yelling obscenities at her as he drove down the street and went inside. She sighed as the cool air wrapped around her and headed straight to the bathroom.
    Her first priority was the tub. She turned the water on and despite the heat outside, set the temperature to as hot as she could stand it. Once the water was deep enough and Lorna added plenty of bubbles, she took off her clothes and stepped into the water. She hissed as she lowered herself and the hot water met her lower half. She wasn’t used to all the action and attention she received the night before and she was definitely paying the price for it. Once she sank fully into the water, Lorna sighed and leaned back. She closed her eyes and willed her body to just relax. She wanted to enjoy her bath for just a few minutes before she had to think about anything. Her life had always been crazy, but it seemed the moment one gorgeous ex-Navy SEAL moved across the street and brought along his equally stunning best friend, her life had gone from crazy to insane.
    Lorna smiled at the thought. She knew she wouldn’t change a thing about meeting Jacob and sleeping with him and Cole if she had the chance. She was in love with Jacob and she knew she was falling for Cole. She knew her hang ups were in her own head. She needed to come to terms with the person her mother was and the person she wanted to be. Lorna didn’t want the life her mother had. She wanted to stay as far away from the life of being known as the town slut and home wrecker as possible. She didn’t think her mother had ever loved anyone in her whole life including herself. Lorna didn’t even think the woman knew what love was. Lorna did, though. She couldn’t have loved her Uncle John more if the man had been her biological father and she was quickly falling in love with her men. She had enough room in her heart for the both of them.
    Determined to get over her own hang-ups, Lorna sank deeper into the tub and closed her eyes. She cursed herself for having the need to overanalyze things. She could have been warmly snuggled between two strong, gorgeous men. Instead, she was home alone in her own tub worried whether wanting two men made her like her mother. Deep down in her heart, she knew she was nothing like the woman and would never be. She just needed to get her head on the same page. “Who cares what the town thinks? As long as you’re happy and not hurting anyone then nothing else matters.”
    “That’s exactly what I was thinking.”
    Lorna jumped in the tub and screamed, splashing water all over the floor. “What the hell, Cole? You scared the shit out of me.” She splashed him when the idiot just laughed.
    “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to sneak up on you. Moving silently is a part of training that I don’t even realize I’m doing anymore.” Cole looked down at his wet clothes and lifted his T-shirt over his head. “I just wanted to come over and check on you and make sure you were
