Swap (26 page)
Authors: Jenesi Ash
All night. Mia's core clenched with anticipation. The sun hadn't, set and she still had all night to explore wherever her desires and imagination led her. Mia smiled as she drifted into sleep. It was going to be a very long night.
SIXTEEN
Mia stirred awake, and she wasn't sure what had pulled her from a dreamless sleep. She had been comfortable and warm, as if she had been cradled. She didn't want to open her eyes but reluctantly peered through her lashes.
Her head was pillowed on Jamie's shoulder. Mia looked up and saw the mess of brown hair hiding most of Jamie's face. The only way she could tell if Jamie was asleep was the dreamy, goofy smile. Jamie would never smile like that once awake.
Mia lifted her head and snuggled against Aidan, her spine flush against his chest. He didn't stir. The bed was crowded with all four of them. They were a tangle of arms and legs. The warmth, sharing, and joy were something she hadn't expected to feel during the swap. She wondered if switching sex partners had been successful because they were friends.
She closed her eyes and was about to drift off into sleep when she felt a hand drift to her thigh. Her leg muscle tightened. She didn't know whose hand it was.
No, you do. She wasn't going to look down to see the hand. If she followed Jamie's advice on the other senses, she would know. She needed to concentrate on what she really felt and not on the consequences of whose hand it might be.
The long fingers spanned against the back of her thigh. Mia tried to ignore the tingling in her leg and focused. The way that the hand was positioned took Aidan out of the running. That left Caleb and Jamie.
She concentrated on how the hand caressed her thigh. The gentle exploration made her think of Caleb. He had touched her like that during their first night together. She smiled as she remembered that night when a fingernail grazed her leg.
Fingernail? Caleb kept his nails short because of his job as a handyman. This fingernail was long and tapered.
It was Jamie's hand.
Mia kept her eyes closed. She tried not to flinch or pull away. She knew Jamie wanted to have a sexual encounter with her. Was she ready for that?
She still couldn't believe that she didn't know her friend was bisexual. How could she have missed the signs? There were a lot of rumors about Jamie, and her sexuality had been one of them. Mia always assumed the rumors started because men and women were very aware of her sensuality.
And the sexiest woman she knew wanted her. The knowledge gave her a little buzz. It made her feel like she was just as sexy and beautiful as her friend.
But in all honesty, Mia didn't know how she would have reacted if Jamie had made a move before this weekend. Surprised. Worried. Concerned that any experimentation on her part would kill their friendship.
Because Mia wasn't interested in a sexual relationship with a woman, and Jamie wasn't in love with her. She knew that for certain. Mia wasn't sure, however, how far she was willing to go, but that was what this weekend was all about: exploring her boundaries.
Mia faked a yawn and stretched; the pull of muscles felt good. She noticed how Jamie snatched her hand away from Mia's thigh. She blinked her eyes open and smiled at Jamie. Her friend pushed her brown hair out of her eyes and gazed down at her.
“This is cozy,” Mia said as she wiggled, her hip bumping against Jamie's.
Jamie bucked against Mia and then froze. She tried to move away but couldn't. “What time is it?” she asked in an obvious attempt to distract Mia from her instinctive move.
“I'm not sure. Looks like some time in the afternoon.” She laid her hand on Jamie's waist and watched her friend's eyes widen. “Do you think we should let the guys sleep some more?”
“No way,” Jamie said with great feeling. “We don't have that much time left.”
Mia agreed. She wanted to pack as much pleasure in the remaining hours as she possibly could. “What should we do next?”
“Orgy.”
Mia smiled at her friend's quick response. “Amazing how that was on the tip of your tongue,” she teased. “But I'm not sure if we can do that. It was difficult getting Aidan to agree to a threesome.”
Jamie made a face. “What's one more?”
“Yeah, we tried that argument,” Mia reminded her. “It didn't get us anywhere.”
“Okay, fine,” Jamie said with a trace of impatience. “You come with the idea this time. Let's see how you do.”
“Fine, I will. Think, think, think...” She waited a couple beats and then gave her best impression of when Jamie came up with a doozy of an idea. “I got it! Let's fool around, you and me.”
Jamie's mouth sagged open. “Excuse me?”
“Oh, come on. Don't act all surprised. You told me years ago that guys love watching two women make out. That should encourage an orgy, right?”
Jamie opened and shut her mouth. Mia wondered if she had done the wrong thing. She was curious what it would be like to have sex with Jamie, but her friend wouldn't make the first move. Mia thought this was the best way to approach her. Either one could back down and there would be no hurt feelings.
Jamie opened her mouth again and hesitated before she asked, “Do you really think that's going to work?”
Triumph pulsed through Mia's veins, and she tried to keep an innocent expression. “Let's find out.” Mia jabbed her elbow into Aidan's ribs. “Aidan?”
Jamie grabbed Mia's arm. “What are you doing?” she hissed.
“I need to ask Aidan first,” Mia insisted. Aidan had taken a leap of faith letting her take part in a threesome. She knew that showing patience and obedience in bed made him more comfortable when she tested her boundaries. “Aidan honey?” she said as she gave a little nudge.
“Are you crazy?” Jamie asked. “Just make out now and apologize later.”
Mia smiled and tilted her head so Aidan could hear her clearly. “Jamie wants to make out with me.”
Aidan's eyes popped open. “Huh? What was that?”
Hmm . . . Maybe she should say that every morning when she needed him to wake up. “Do you want to watch me kiss Jamie?” she offered. It wasn't quite asking permission, and she hoped Aidan didn't call her on the infraction.
His dazed expression vanished and was replaced by a wicked gleam in his eye. “Go for it.”
“Did you hear that, Jamie?” she asked as she turned around to face her friend. “But I'm new to this, so you need to take the lead.”
“Like that was ever in question.” Jamie tilted Mia's head. She brushed her lips against Mia's, tasting and exploring. Mia sensed Jamie was holding back, not wanting to scare Mia with her usual aggression and domination.
Mia parted her mouth open and darted her tongue into Jamie's mouth. Jamie gasped with delight before she tried to draw Mia deeper into her mouth. Mia took this opportunity to explore Jamie's mouth, but got distracted by Jamie's superior kissing technique. She was being easily seduced by her friend's clever tongue.
Jamie rubbed her hands over Mia's body, and Mia copied her friend's actions. Soon Mia's instinct and curiosity guided the way, and she glided her hands along Jamie's ass and pulled her closer. Jamie moaned and reached for Mia's breasts. She squeezed them hard, and Mia deepened the kiss.
Jamie pulled her mouth from Mia's and trailed kisses down her neck. Mia didn't stop Jamie when she began licking her way down to the small slope of her breasts. Jamie tested the weight and size of Mia's breasts, humming with approval, before licking around one of Mia's nipples.
Mia arched, cupping Jamie's head and driving her friend closer to her breasts. She wanted more than her friend's tongue. She wanted Jamie to suck and bite. Mia was so deep into Jamie's touch that she jumped when she felt Aidan shifting behind her.
“Keep going,” he murmured in her ear as he spanned his hand along her waist.
“That was my plan all along,” Mia whispered, gasping with pleasure as Aidan nuzzled her throat before licking her ear. She really loved having her ear licked. Who knew?
He lifted his head to watch Jamie suck Mia's breasts, and growled with pleasure in Mia's ear. Curling his hand along Mia's knee, he hooked her leg over his. He then speared his hand into her wet curls and stroked her clit.
Mia loved having four hands and two mouths on her. They were attending to her needs and desires, and all she had to do was enjoy. The extreme pleasure was an embarrassment of riches.
Jamie stiffened, and Mia gave a little shriek. She saw Caleb rouse from his sleep, his hands creeping up Jamie's chest before settling possessively on her voluptuous breasts.
“Now this is a nice way to wake up,” Caleb said, his voice rough with sleep.
Mia had to agree. Her core was pulsing, she felt Aidan's cock pressing against her ass, and her friend was teasing her breasts with her mouth. She didn't think it would be long until Caleb leaned over Jamie's head and claimed Mia's mouth.
“Do you want to have all three of us?” Aidan whispered in her ear.
Three lovers? Mia's moan seemed to vibrate from deep within her. If she had all three determined to please her, she would experience a sexual nirvana she couldn't imagine. The intense sensations alone would shatter her into a million pieces.
“No,” she said, pulling away from Caleb. “I shouldn't.”
“Shouldn't.” The word echoed in her head. Her answer wasn't as strong as “won't” or “no.” Yet she couldn't bring herself to say either of those.
If she indulged in three lovers, she would turn greedy for everything they had to offer. Aidan, Caleb, and Jamie would make her lose all control. No ties or binds would be able to contain her.
“Yes, you should,” Aidan said, his hand on her hip, his fingers tantalizingly close to her mound.
She wanted to jump at Aidan's offer. Oh, how she wanted her three friends to guide her through this passage. It was scary and thrillingâand for one brief moment, she considered returning to her safe little worldâgoing back to one lover, one set of rules.
“I'm here to catch you,” Aidan assured her.
How did he know what she was worried about? And did he think she was silly for being afraid? Most people wanted to go wild in bed. She wanted to know that as long as she went as far as her sensual world could take her, she could always hurry back to the safe comfort she needed.
“Okay,” she said, her voice trembling. “I want to take the three of you all at once.”
Jamie's lips stilled on Mia's breasts, and she jerked her head up. “You want to do what?”
Mia looked directly in her friend's startled eyes. She didn't think she'd ever shocked Jamie quite like this before. For once, Mia enjoyed being the scandalous one.
Jamie continued to stare at Mia. “Exactly what is it that you're planning to do?”
Mia offered a tremulous smile. “I want to have sex with you”â she emphasizedâ“Caleb, and Aidan. At the same time.”
“Jamie, hold Mia down so I can go get the handcuffs,” Aidan said as he sat up.
“Get a blindfold while you're at it,” Jamie said as she smiled at Mia.
Mia glared at her friend. “That won't be necessary.”
“You won't be able to tell us apart,” Jamie pointed out. “That's half the fun.”
“Mia would be able to identify me,” Aidan said with confidence. He rolled out of bed and walked to the dresser.
“Don't be too sure,” Jamie retorted. “In fact, let's put money on itâouch!”
Mia kicked her in the leg again. “What do you think you're doing?” she whispered fiercely. “You know . . .” Mia let her voice trail off. She couldn't risk saying any more. She hoped Aidan never found out that they had suggested a threesome because Mia couldn't tell the difference between Caleb and him.
“Stop worrying.” Jamie climbed over Mia and pinned her arms to the mattress. “You're going to do fine.”
“No, I'm not.” She had been unable to tell which person had stroked her leg a few minutes ago.
“I wouldn't have suggested it otherwise,” Jamie said in all seriousness.
“Yes, you would have,” Mia whispered, her voice sharp and fast, “because you weren't thinking!”
“I am, too,” Jamie said. “I'm thinking of you.”
Mia huffed with disbelief. “Lovely way of showing it.”
“You can tell the difference between the two,” Jamie whispered in her ear.
“Shh!” Mia looked in the direction of Aidan, but she couldn't see him. She glanced at Caleb, who was deep in thought as he caressed her legs. Mia couldn't tell if he had heard, but she also couldn't tell if he would care if Mia's mind made him interchangeable with Aidan.
Aidan returned to the bed with four handcuffs and a blindfold. Mia stared at the gleaming metal and black velvet, unsure if she was going to pass this test.
She had passed every test Aidan had given her over the year, Mia realized as Caleb and Aidan cuffed her to the bed. The fact that she always rose to the occasion made Aidan think he was too soft on her, but Mia knew the truth. Aidan only tested her when he knew she was ready. He also knew that Mia's pride wouldn't allow her to fail.
But Aidan was misguided by the belief that she would know his touch in the dark. What would he do when he found out? She couldn't let that happen. She hadn't failed him yet, and she wasn't going to start now.
As Jamie placed the blindfold over Mia's eyes, Mia muttered darkly, “I'm going to get you for this.”
“You're chained to a bed. I'd like to see you try,” Jamie taunted back.
