“No . . . not exactly,” Jamie said, trying not to look sheepish. Maybe Caleb was right that she shouldn't interfere in Mia's business.
She thought Mia would realize she didn't have to hang on to her first lover. Jamie didn't think Mia would cling to Aidan stronger than before.
“You don't have to worry about me anymore.”
“Because Aidan is there to protect you?” Jamie didn't know how she felt having him usurp her role as protector. She guessed he was the best man around to take on the job.
“There is that,” Mia agreed. “But this weekend I'm learning how to ask for what I want.”
“I'm glad to hear it,” Jamie said with feeling. So what if it took this long for Mia? The girl had always been a late bloomer.
“Now we just need to figure out what you want.”
Jamie frowned and looked at Mia. “What are you talking about? I know what I want: out of Clover Bud as fast as I can.”
“Why now?”
“I saved up enough money.” That didn't sound like a good reason. “And I feel claustrophobic in this town. I need to get out, and it's as good a time as any.”
“But you've been acting like it's urgent to move right away. Are you sure there's not another reason?”
That was one question Jamie didn't want to answer. She looked out the window and saw Aidan and Caleb heading back into the house. She let the curtain fall. “They're coming.”
“So?” Mia asked with a laugh as she watched Jamie rush over to the sofa.
She leaped over Mia and plopped down on the cushion next to her. “Act natural,” she ordered as she scrambled to an upright position.
Mia raised an eyebrow. “I am.”
Caleb opened the front door, letting the scorching heat of the summer day billow in. Aidan walked into the living room, and he waited until Caleb had closed and locked the door. They both approached Mia and Jamie. Jamie saw their determined, almost grim expressions.
Where the hell had she gone wrong? Her plan to introduce the idea of a ménage à trois should have worked. She really hadn't expected any resistance to the idea. Now the whole weekend was ruined.
“What's up, guys?” Mia asked, breaking the tense silence.
“We want a threesome,” Aidan said, “with Jamie.”
Jamie couldn't hide her surprise. Aidan had agreed to the ménage à trois? How had Caleb managed that?
She recalled how they had their heads together while talking on the porch. Jamie's eyes narrowed with suspicion. What else did they want? Did Aidan have some stipulations? She didn't care as long as she could get Mia into the fun.
“Why not Mia instead of me?” she asked.
“Don't start, Jamie,” Mia said quietly.
Jamie had to. She'd started this for Mia. The idea of a ménage à trois was for Mia to compare Aidan and Caleb. Of course, Jamie couldn't tell that to the guys.
But Mia was worried about the fact that she couldn't tell which guy she'd had sex with in the bathroom. Personally, Jamie didn't see that as a problem, but Mia was really concerned.
So was this how Mia could study Aidan's and Caleb's techniques? By watching them in a threesome? That might help, but Jamie didn't think so. She was all for hands-on learning.
“I suggest you do it right here,” Mia said, as she rose from the sofa.
Here? In the living room? Jamie glanced at the carpet on the floor and shivered, knowing she was going to suffer rug burns.
“We'll need something sturdier than that sofa,” Caleb said. “Like a straight-back chair.”
“Of course,” Mia said. “There's no way all three of you will fit on this. Stay here.”
“Where are you going?” Jamie asked. Mia was going to watch, wasn't she?
“I'm getting one of the kitchen chairs.”
“One second,” Jamie said to the men as she followed Mia into the kitchen. She was trying to think of a way to include her friend, but how was she going to succeed when Mia was quite happy to stay in the shadows?
“Mia, this is great that Aidan agreed. Now we have to find a way for you and me to switch roles.”
Mia gave Jamie a curious look. “Are you having second thoughts about a threesome?”
“Of course not.”
“I'm not doing it.”
Jamie huffed with annoyance. “Why are you giving up?”
“I'm not,” Mia said. “You need to be patient.”
“Fine.” She'd wait until Aidan was far gone, on the verge of an orgasm, and she'd have Mia join them.
“Don't try to include me in,” Mia warned, “especially when everything gets hot and heavy.”
Jamie's eyes widened. “How did you know what I was thinking?”
Mia chuckled. “You're very easy to read.”
God, she hoped not. Jamie tried to keep her expression blank and act as if Mia's words hadn't struck fear in her. She said nothing as she watched Mia hoist the chair and walk back to the living room.
Jamie knew she should be excited about taking part in a threesome. They didn't happen as often in her life as she would like.
But having Mia watch on the sidelines was going to be a problem.
Jamie slowly returned to the living room, not sure what to do. She wanted to do thisâwho could refuse two hot guys at the same timeâbut for once, she didn't have a strategy.
Â
Mia placed the chair in the center of the carpet just as Caleb walked in the room from the other doorway. She didn't know exactly what Aidan and Caleb had in mind. Wouldn't it be easier for everyone if they lay down on the floor? In her opinion, it would offer lots of space to maneuver and little chance of falling. She guessed it went to show how little she knew about group sex.
Her lack of knowledge had never bothered her before. She was curious, but she would have to be patient. Watching Jamie in a threesome was enough for now. It had to be.
She walked back to the sofa and sat down just when Aidan blocked Jamie's entrance into the living room. Mia tucked her legs underneath her, enjoying.
Aidan reached for Jamie, holding her upper arms and turning her slightly so that Mia could see everything he would do to her. Caleb stood behind Jamie, his hands on her hips.
Aidan lowered his head and claimed Jamie's lips. By her muffled squeal, Mia knew he was grinding his mouth against hers. Mia pressed her lips together, imagining what it was like. She grinned when Jamie grasped Aidan's face with both hands and deepened the kiss.
Caleb glided his hands over Jamie's shoulders. He curled his fingers along her throat and jaw, gently pulling her away from Aidan. Jamie turned her head and kissed Caleb.
Aidan's hands slid up and down Jamie's waist. His touch was rough, drawing a gasp from Jamie. He covered her breasts with his hands and squeezed. His fingers looked large against Jamie's voluptuous curves.
Jamie arched back, thrusting her breasts deeper into Aidan's hands as she continued to kiss Caleb. She gasped against Caleb's mouth when Aidan thrust one hand down her shirt, stretching the camisole top to feel her naked breasts.
Jamie moaned and pulled her lips away from Caleb. But Caleb captured her mouth and continued the long, wet kiss. Aidan grasped Jamie's chin, and his hands bumped against Caleb's. He turned her face toward him and kissed Jamie again, erasing the taste and feel of Caleb.
Mia's breath hitched in her throat as she watched the men fighting over Jamie. Would they compete over her own attention like this? Or would they try to prove which one was the better lover?
But it was more than sharing a woman. Caleb and Aidan were fighting for domination, for control.
From the looks of it, Jamie liked it. And why shouldn't she? Mia wondered. Because, really, Jamie was the one who was in control of these two men.
Aidan was the first to pull away, much to Mia's surprise. “Take off her shirt,” he ordered Caleb. “I'll take off her shorts.”
Mia wiggled with anticipation as Caleb grabbed Jamie's shirt and wrestled it off her. He stopped in the middle of his duty to cup her naked breasts and mold them in his hands.
Jamie moaned and closed her eyes when Caleb pulled at her nipples. Aidan wrenched Jamie's shorts off her hips. He hooked his fingers around her thong and dragged it down her long legs.
Mia hummed with longing as she watched her best friend stripped naked. She wished she was Jamie right this minute. She wanted two men fighting over her, tearing off her clothes.
Mia's skin prickled with awareness as she watched Caleb licking his way down Jamie's neck and back while his hands were all over her breasts. Aidan was pressing kisses up Jamie's stomach as he roamed his hands over her ass.
“It's . . . it's your turn . . . to get undressed,” Jamie reminded them, having trouble forming words.
Aidan rose to his full height. He towered over Jamie, causing her to look up to him. “Undress me.”
Mia shivered at those words. Had Jamie felt the same twinge? Was she eager to follow his orders, or was she going to resist him?
Jamie pulled off Aidan's shirt with such force that Mia was surprised it didn't rip. She was just as ruthless taking off his jeans and underwear. Aidan didn't move or help. He preferred watching Jamie with a grin as she pulled and yanked.
“Now me,” Caleb said.
If Jamie was surprised by Caleb's command, she didn't show it. She turned to Caleb and undressed him. Her movements were slower as she helped him off with his shirt, sliding her hands along his abdomen as he pulled his shirt over his head. Her fingers danced along his flat stomach as she unbuttoned his fly. She stroked his legs as she pushed down his jeans and underwear.
Jamie was going to bend down to help Caleb discard his clothing when Aidan stopped her. He pulled her to her full height and pressed her hips against his, grinding his cock between her buttocks.
Aidan reached for Jamie's breasts and kneaded them so hard that Mia whimpered. She was tempted to touch her own tingling breasts and mimic Aidan's moves. But Mia knew it wouldn't be the same. She kept watching as her nipples puckered and stung.
Mia bit her lip, hiding a smile, when she saw Jamie granting her kisses to Caleb. She wondered how Aidan was going to handle that. Not well, she suspected.
Aidan did not wait for his turn. He placed his open mouth on Jamie's neck and began to suck. Jamie's knees sagged as she moaned. She curved her throat, accepting the love bite.
As Caleb continued to kiss Jamie, he slid his hands along her hips. He reached down to cup her mound and Jamie groaned, bucking her hips toward him. Mia saw Caleb rubbing her clit with one hand while dipping his other hand farther. He slid his finger into her pussy, and Jamie groaned against his mouth, parting her legs for him.
Mia rocked her hips as she watched Aidan and Caleb give Jamie double the pleasure. Mia really wanted to have two men pressing against her naked body. She wanted their hands all over her, their only concern to make her scream with pleasure.
Mia couldn't prevent envy from piercing her chest. Would she ever have two naked men determined to give her the wildest night of her life? She had told Aidan that she would wait, but she didn't feel so patient anymore.
Jamie pulled her mouth away from Caleb. “I want to suck your cock,” she said breathlessly.
She knelt down and grabbed Caleb's cock with both hands. Jamie held him tightly as she placed her lips around the tip of his erection. Caleb sank his hands into Jamie's hair and murmured something Mia couldn't catch.
Aidan placed his hands on Jamie's shoulders. “Suck mine,” he ordered.
She twisted around, reaching for Aidan with one hand, and her fingers barely wrapped around his cock. Jamie swirled her tongue along the tip, teasing him, until Caleb pulled her away.
As Mia watched her friend go back and forth, her mouth grew dry. She licked her lips, imagining what it felt like to be in Jamie's position. She would have Aidan demanding more of her attention, while Caleb would silently distract her. As Jamie mindlessly went from one man to the other, Mia noticed that Aidan's and Caleb's cocks were almost touching. Her pussy began to pulse at the erotic sight.
Aidan was the first to step away. “I want to be inside you now,” he told Jamie.
He curled his arm around Jamie's waist and lifted her off her feet. Carrying her over to the chair, he sat down and turned her around to face him. Draping her legs over his hips, Jamie straddled Aidan.
Aidan grasped Jamie's waist and guided his cock against her entrance. Jamie held on to Aidan's shoulders as she slowly sank onto him, moaning and shaking until she took every inch of him.
Caleb stepped behind Jamie and tilted her head back to kiss her, his top lip pressing against her full bottom one. Jamie's fingers gripped Aidan's shoulders as she kissed Caleb back.
Mia was beginning to see how different Caleb and Aidan were as lovers. While Aidan demanded and took, Caleb didn't fight for attention. He was stealthy in getting what he wanted.
“Are you ready for Caleb?” Aidan asked as he pumped inside her.
Jamie could only nod, grinding against Aidan, meeting his thrust with the roll of her hips.
Aidan encircled her waist with his hand and thrust deeply into her. “Hold on tight,” he said through clenched teeth.
Mia jolted upright when she saw Caleb approaching. For one brief moment she thought he would include her in the threesome. Her heart banged against her ribs and stopped when she saw Caleb halt at the coffee table.
Mia's spirits fell as she watched Caleb grab a bottle of lubricant that she hadn't seen before. She looked away and saw Aidan lean back on the chair, guiding Jamie forward. Aidan squeezed his eyes shut as the movement burrowed him deeper into Jamie. Mia's friend groaned and clamped her hands on the back of the chair.
