Both men growled in approval.

Twin sounds ignited her frenzy.

Her release exploded outward, lighting a fire through her
entire body as the percussive wave blew through her. The force poured
unrestrained heat through her and she never wanted the sensation to end. Didn’t
want rational thought to return either. She only wanted to feel this wonderful,
this right and perfect, forever. Her body didn’t belong to her anymore. It
belonged to these gifted men and their glorious command.

“Holy shit.”

Dade’s muttered curse washed over her, his harsh growl
sounding like agony instead of ecstasy. But he tightened his hold, piling her
hair into one hand to twist it around his tight grip while he started to move
his hips. She hummed in appreciation, willing her throat to open a little bit
more so she could take him in. His musky scent grew heavier, filling her nose
with the erotic smells of their lovemaking. She hadn’t realized how much she’d
missed the delicious byplay of three people fucking.

He guided her how he liked, pressing his knuckles against
the base of her neck as he slid her along his length. Enjoying the smell and
taste, she sucked in her cheeks again, tracing the vein pulsing against her
tongue. The power of pleasuring both men surged through her, gifting her with
more satisfaction than she thought possible.

Dade pushed her down over his cock, forcing her to take a
bit more. She accepted, pleasing herself by exploring and stroking him with her
tongue as he moved her up and down.

“Christ, watching her blow you is a beautiful thing to see.”

“Can’t say that I disagree with you. But it is even better
to feel.”

She sucked firmly as Tony thrust hard into her, another oath
spilling from Dade as she willed him to shoot down her throat. Maybe even pull
out of her mouth just as he climaxed, coating her back with his seed as Tony
found his own orgasm deep inside her. But she could tell they were making her
work for their releases.

Another orgasm pummeled into her, catching her off guard.

“That’s it. Yes. Fuck, fuck, yes.” Tony clenched at her
hips, digging into her skin so hard she guaranteed she would feel his imprint
for hours afterward. He’d been right earlier. Seeing his impression on her skin
after one of their sessions was one of her favorite things. A clear, very
visible display of his mastery over her.

Tony slammed home, his thighs quivering against hers as he
came, his deep snarl of pleasure washing over her. Her body went loose and
pliant, the relaxing of her muscles finally allowing Dade to slip deep into her
throat.

His hiss washed over her, merging with the quick, harsh
jerks as Tony continued to ride her. An ominous rumble sounded overhead, Dade’s
cock jerking against her lips and throat. A few seconds passed, time stretching
out thick and heavy as though everything had slowed down. He rammed into her
mouth, his fist pressing hard against the base of her skull as he dug in and
exploded down her throat.

Both men continued to pump into her, slowing their pace but
allowing her to savor the feel of them basking in her and all that she’d gifted
them. She could have stayed this way for all time, floating on the beauty of
mating with both men at the same time.

But her body had other ideas.

Spent from the effort, she collapsed against the soft
blanket. Everything was spinning, a dizzy display of candlelight and male
flesh. She barely had the strength to breathe let alone thank them for the
precious memory they’d given her.

“I’m all sweaty.”

Tony pressed a kiss to her lower back, nudging her onto her
side. “Among other things.”

“Same here,” Dade chimed in. “Don’t think it matters at this
point who’s covered with what.” His finger drew across her lips, tugging on her
lower lips as he pressed his mouth against hers ever so gently. “I do believe
you have one of the most fuckable mouths I have ever had the pleasure of
having. And I also believe I owe your husband a debt of gratitude for allowing
you to wrap it around my dick.”

Genevieve laughed softly as Tony curled against her back
while Dade faced her, lightly trailing his hand over her hip. Their bodies held
her close, cradling her in their embrace as they protected and sheltered her.

* * * * *

In the dark of morning Genevieve stood at the bay window of
the comic book store. As she looked at the empty parking lot she ran her
fingertips over her abraded lips. She could still taste both men on her skin.
Still feel their lips pressed against hers. Their tastes and scents were so
remarkably different, which made her treasure them even more.

Her body was sore, but in a good, hard-work kind of way.

They’d allowed her to rest for a time then used their
fingers in tandem to gift her with another release as they cradled her in their
arms. Then given her another. And another. The men had driven her tirelessly,
always ensuring she was thoroughly satisfied. Attending to her needs.

The power exchange between the three of them had been
flawless. So unspoiled and…easy. They never had to think. They just
did
.
It had never been that way when she and Tony had invited someone to join them
before but it was the very thing they’d always talked about wanting. There had
also been an underlying current of emotion flowing between the three of them.
And understanding. A glorious rightness that was too damn wonderful to
question. Before, when they’d been with others, there had never been any sort
of connection beyond the sexual. The fun. The games.

Last night had triggered a deep resonance in her soul she
didn’t understand. Didn’t want to have to think about because she was afraid it
would somehow dull the gleam. She hoped that easy way with which they’d all
lain around and talked afterward was still in place when the sun rose. That
there were no awkward questions. No embarrassing silences that would stretch
out for endless minutes.

Everything had been so wonderful.

Though she felt no guilt about the previous night, there
were doubts. Apprehension. Confusion. All normal emotions to experience after
such an intense encounter.

She’d been though those emotions before.

But never in
this
way.

Something had clicked the previous night and felt more right
than ever before. The
thing
that had been missing.

Warm lips pressed against her shoulder as a hand slipped
under the blanket she’d cocooned herself in. Tony parted the fabric, tugged it
out of her hands and wrapped it around their bodies. She held on to the blanket
as he cupped her hips, pulling her against him. His warm skin radiated against
her back, a sign he hadn’t bothered getting dressed before he’d come looking
for her.

“You’re thinking awfully hard. Everything all right?”

She leaned against his firm body, exhaling, loving the feel
of standing here with him in such an intimate embrace. Sometimes the simplest
moments meant the most. “Fine. Just tired.”

“Liar.” He pulled her hair to the side, pressing a soft kiss
to her jaw. “We’ve only been married a few years but I know when you’re just
trying to appease me.”

She reached up, looping her arms around to cup the back of
his neck. As she stroked his hair she wondered how she could have possibly
gotten any luckier. To have a man who knew her so well. Who loved her even when
she wasn’t at her best. “Still just trying to process a few things.”

“Are you upset?”

“No. Not at all.”

“Did you have a good time? Sure sounded that way.” His lips
pressed to her jaw. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you be that loud. Even when
I’ve had you strapped down and panting under a flogger you never screamed that
way.”

How could she forget? Her throat was still raw from the
sounds they’d both pulled from her. “I did, yes.”

“You’re not embarrassed, are you?”

“When have you ever known me to be embarrassed?”

“Good. It was sexy. But something
is
bothering you.
Tell me.”

She sighed, staring out at the star-filled sky. She’d have
to go to work in a few hours if she wanted to get the pastries to Perfect Shot
on time. Best to talk with him now instead of holding everything inside her.
She’d learned the futility in that kind of approach years ago. “I guess I’m
just a little concerned that this was all because I said I was worried about
Dade. About him blocking something instead of facing it.”

Tony spun her around to face him. “Is that what you think?”

“Yes. No. I don’t know.” She searched his face, looking for
signs she’d been right. Instead she only found worry. Worry for her. Worry he’d
upset in her somehow. Maybe she was just imaging things and needed to take last
night at face value—a fun time between three friends. Even though it had felt
like so much more. “Why did you ask him to come here?”

“It just seemed…right. I don’t know. It wasn’t something I
planned before you showed up. It truly was a spur-of-the-moment decision. We’ve
been walking on eggshells around each other for the past month, playing some
kind of cat-and-mouse game. Maybe we all did it unknowingly but it just
seemed—”

“Natural,” she finished. “Like Dade has always been there.
Like he was—”

“Supposed to be there,” Dade finished. They turned to find
him standing behind the counter. It appeared as though he’d gotten dressed in a
hurry. He’d pulled on his shirt without bothering to fasten the buttons, and
the waistband of his jeans gapped where he hadn’t zipped them. “Sorry, I wasn’t
trying to eavesdrop.”

Tony smoothed his hand over her shoulder. “No, it’s all
right. You just said what we both were thinking and trying to say to one
another.”

“I’ll get out of the way.”

“No. Dade, wait.” She pulled out from under the blanket,
snagging Dade’s elbow. “I don’t—we don’t—want you to leave.”

“Going to keep me prisoner now that you’ve had a taste?” Dade
flashed a thousand-watt smile that sent her hormones into overdrive.

Genevieve bit back a smile. “I just meant you don’t have to
run off. There are a lot of things the three of us need to talk about.”

“I know. But I have an early meeting with Grant. Which means
I need to get going if I’m going to make it in time. Any talking we need to do
is going to have to wait a few hours, if that’s all right?”

A reminder she needed to get moving as well. Responsibility.
Sucking the fun out of everything for a billion years. “Sure. I should probably
stop by the house for a shower before heading to the restaurant. Can’t imagine
I smell all that great.”

Tony came up behind her, pressing a soft kiss to her
shoulder “You smell wonderful. Like sin and debauchery.” She laughed. “Hang on
a sec. I’ll lock up and we can all leave together.”

Something told her they’d be doing a lot of things together
from now on. A fact that didn’t bother her in the least.

After dressing, Genevieve found Dade standing by the front
door. His normally dark and brooding expression was remarkably absent. In fact
he almost looked relaxed. She’d always thought he was handsome, his darkness
such a contrast to Tony’s light. Two halves of some kind of circle where she
fit neatly inside. Amazing how that had happened.

“Thank you.”

“Can’t remember the last time someone thanked me for sex.”

“I’m not. I’m thanking you for being who you are.” Surprised
lightened his eyes. She ran her hand against his chest, fastening a button he’d
missed. “For being so special.” She leaned forward on her toes, balancing there
as she brushed her lips against his. “For taking care of me and being such an
expert at anticipating my needs.”

As she pulled away, she noticed Tony standing by the
register wearing a smug grin. A thrill shot through her at the idea that Tony
actually enjoyed watching her with someone else. She probably should question
the reasons why they both were so open when it came to sex—but why waste time
worrying about details neither of them seemed bothered by?

“Ready?”

She looked up at Dade’s eyes, a zing of heat unfurling
inside her. She was one damn lucky woman to have gotten to spend the night with
these two handsome men. “Yeah. I think I am.”

She flipped up the latch, waiting for the electronic
deadbolt to slide open as the security system disengaged. “I’m going to take
tonight off if you guys want to do something for dinner. I can grab some extra
veggies and cut a few extra steaks if one of you feels like firing up the
grill.” Then they could talk about all those unspoken things hanging in the
air. Find out if this really was a one-shot deal or they could turn this into
something more.

“You want more meat?”

“Seems she didn’t her get fill last—
shit
.” Dade’s
expression fell for a split second before he recovered. “Morning, Ms.
Claremont. Early start this morning?”

Genevieve turned to find Christine Claremont setting her
designer bag on her shoulder as she shut her car door. She owned Claremont
Castings, a furniture-and-upholstery repair shop next door to Tony’s store. Her
family’s business had been open since Gatlin Falls had been established. In
fact Rigel Claremont had been one of the founders of the town. Which meant the
Claremont family was also one of the most influential.

“I have some family coming in from out of state and I wanted
to get an early start. You three are certainly out early too. Or is that late?”
Her perfectly waxed eyebrows lifted.

Leave it to the busybody to home right in on the heart of
the matter.

“Delivery driver made his run ahead of schedule because of
the holiday this weekend.” Tony locked the door, shoving the keys into his
pocket. “Big shipment this week, so he asked if I could accept the drop early.
Finished inventorying it about an hour ago but when I tried to leave my car
wouldn’t start.”
