“I
don’t want to stop,” she whispered, knowing she had to be with him.

And
then the sound of the snowmobile coming toward the house had them both holding
their breath.

He
grabbed her shirt from the ground and helped her back into it, and the material
abraded her sensitive flesh. He took a step toward her again, wrapped his hand
around her waist, and pulled her up against his chest. Riley kissed her gently
on the lips, then leaned his forehead against hers, exhaling. “
Tallin’s
home.”

Chapter
Seven

Undeniable

Lilly
lay in bed that night, her stomach full after the incredible meal Riley had
made, but the rest of her body feeling empty. Her arousal was rampant, her pussy
so swollen and saturated from her own desire that it was unbearable. She
couldn’t stop thinking about how close she’d come to being with Riley, how much
she’d wanted him and also
Tallin
.

She
closed her eyes and pictured what they’d almost done in her room, his mouth on
her breasts, his tongue running circles around her nipples. The only thing
missing was
Tallin
. She opened her eyes and stared at
the ceiling. She could picture
Tallin
behind Riley,
fantasized about his big and massive body primed and ready to give her what she
wanted—both of them filling her at once.

God, I’m a fiend.

Her
clit throbbed, and her pussy clenched, as she pictured how it would be, what it
would feel like—their cocks pushing and straining into her body at the same
time.

She
rolled over and shook her head, knowing that would never happen in reality.

At least I think it’ll never
happen.

How
could it work? Sure, Riley now knew how she felt, but how would he take it when
she admitted that she was in love with
Tallin
, as
well? Could she actually hope he’d actually agree to it, accept it? It was a
far-fetched fantasy and one she didn’t know would ever come true.

She
tossed and turned, glancing at the clock and seeing that it was the middle of
the night. Lilly knew unless she got these emotions and thoughts out of her,
told Riley and
Tallin
how she felt, she wouldn’t be
able to sleep.

She
got out of bed, slipped her robe on, and opened her bedroom door. Everything
was still, silent, just like it had been that night she’d almost had an intimate
moment with Riley. She’d tell him how she felt about
Tallin
,
how she was in love with both of them. He deserved to know before they went any
further.

The
house was dead quiet as she stepped into the hallway. But as much as she wanted
to go right, which was the direction of Riley’s room, she found herself going
left … toward
Tallin’s
. When she got to the end of
the hall she was surprised to find
Tallin’s
door
slightly open. Heart beating fast and palms sweating, she knew she should have
backed away, let him have his privacy. She was being a voyeur, and she had done
the same thing with Riley as he’d worked out. But she couldn’t move, not when
she heard a deep moan.

Pushing
the door open a little more, the room was dark, shadows playing off the
furniture. But a sliver of light came through the window, and it was then that
everything in her stilled.

Lilly
saw
Tallin’s
big form in the center of his bed, the
sheets covering him. Feeling her eyes widening, all she could do was stand
there and watch him. He rolled onto his back, the moonlight making the room
bright enough that she could clearly see what he was doing. And it was then
that she saw the movement under the covers, the up and down motion that told
her he was jerking off.

She
drew her gaze to his face. His eyes were closed, and his jaw clenched tight.
The muscles flexed under his stubble-covered flesh, and the tendons in his neck
stood out as he strained. The sheet was pooled at his waist, and his chiseled,
hard chest was bare and rippled as his muscles contracted and relaxed.

This is so wrong. Leave. Give him
privacy.

I can’t go, not when watching him
has me so wet.

She
couldn’t get her feet moving to leave, not when she was glued to the sight of
him stroking himself.

He’s jerking off, and you’re
watching like a creep.

Her
mouth parted as she sucked in air.

If only the sheet went down a
little more.

If
only she could see his hand moving over his cock, actually see him stroking it
as he found his release.

Her
pussy was wet, her nipples hard. Adrenaline pumped through her body, and her
clit throbbed in time with her pulse. His breathing picked up, and she could
tell he was close to coming. Sweat was glistening on him, highlighting the
definition in his chest and biceps.

Oh. God.

And
the movements under the sheet became
quicker, harder. She could hear the sound of flesh slapping together, the noise
so erotic it made her lightheaded.

“Lilly.”
Tallin
groaned out her name, and she would have
thought he’d seen her, but she noticed his eyes were closed.

Her
heart could have stopped right then at the fact he was jerking off to the
thought of
her
.

She
turned away quickly and stumbled over her own feet, making a loud banging on
the ground as she righted herself. Had he heard her leaving? Would she get
caught? The very thought humiliated her, because she didn’t want
Tallin
knowing she’d been watching that intimate act.

She
knew she’d heard and seen right, but still, it all was so unbelievable. She had
meant to visit Riley tonight, to talk to him about how she felt for both of
them, but how could she go to Riley when
Tallin
was
on her mind, when the image of him masturbating filled every part of her?

She
shook her head and went back to her room, gently shutting the door and slipping
into bed. Lilly didn’t know how long she lay there, but soon sleep took over.
It was a soft sound that woke her, drawing her out of her slumber. She was
surprised she had been able to fall asleep at all, but when she turned and
stared blurry eyed at the clock, she saw she hadn’t slept more than an hour.

The
moonlight shone through her window, almost iridescent as it illuminated
everything. She glanced over her shoulder at her bedroom door. Her heart beat
hard when she noticed the large body shrouded by shadows leaning against the
doorframe.

The
figure didn’t move for a suspended moment, but then he came toward her,
shutting the door behind him. Lilly slowly sat up, the sheet falling to her
waist as she watched with a mix of nervousness and … arousal.
Tallin
stepped into the swatch of moonlight, his chest
bare, covered in tattoos, and rippled with muscles, having every female part of
her grow warm. His drawstring pants hung low on his waist and did nothing to
hide the thick erection pressing against them.

She
let her eyes travel up his body and stared wide-eyed into
Tallin’s
tense face. The shadows crossed over his ruggedly handsome features and gave an
air of danger to his already powerful persona.

“
Tallin
?” she whispered, confused as to what he was doing in
her room and unable to get the image of him masturbating out of her mind. “Is
everything okay?” Her throat felt so tight.

He
didn’t say anything for a second, but then he moved closer and said, “Did you
like watching, Lilly?”

She
swallowed, and his deep and husky voice speared straight through her pussy.
“What?” Her voice cracked slightly, her face becoming hot as mortification
washed through her.

He saw me.

She
was frozen as she watched his gaze travel down to her breasts, her nipples
betraying her, tightening under his stare.

“Answer
me, Lilly.”

She
shivered, his deep, commanding voice that implied he would brook no argument
regarding what he wanted. His gaze went back to her face, and she knew she
wasn’t going to lie to him—she knew she
couldn’t
disobey him. It turned her on to do what he said, and that realization was like
a shock of electricity.

His
expression was thick with lust, his eyes heavy-lidded as he took another step
toward her and stopped at the edge of the bed.

“Yes,”
she whispered that word. “I liked watching.”

God, no going back from that now.

Her
pussy tingled and swelled, because she was so wet her panties were soaked.

He
made this low sound deep in his throat, one that reminded her of this deadly
predator. “Say it again, Lilly.”

She
felt like she was suffocating. Her arousal and brain were raging war between
each other. Here she was, staring at a man whom she’d grown up with, a man whom
she loved with all her heart, and all she could think about was how much she
wanted to feel his hard cock pushing into her pussy … how she wanted Riley here
watching it all before he claimed her, as well.

She
didn’t dare take her eyes off
Tallin
as she tried to
make her mind understand what was happening. She shivered from the intensity of
it, from how hot he made her.

“I
liked watching you,
Tallin
.” She gripped the sheets
as she murmured.

“Are
you wet? Did you get turned on by it?”

She
licked her lips and nodded. “Yes.”

He
showed no emotion. “Fuck, baby.” He moved next to her and placed his hands on
either side of her hips, leaning forward, which caused her to move her upper
body back.

She
had to tell him what she wanted though, that she wanted Riley, too, that she
loved him, as well.

“I…”
The words were lodged in her throat.

“What
is it, baby?” he said in a low, husky voice, his gaze on her lips.

Just do it.

“I
have to be honest with you.”

He
lifted his gaze to her eyes.

A
moment of silence passed between them.

“I’m
in love with you.” There. The words were out. His nostrils flared, but he
didn’t move. “But I’m in love with Riley, too.” Her entire body felt like it
was shaking as they held each other’s gazes.

“Yeah?”
he asked softly.

She
nodded. “I can’t lie about it anymore. I don’t want to. I want both of you.”
She licked her suddenly dry lips. He was so close she could smell the dark and
addictive scent of him, that purely male aroma that had her breath coming out
in short pants.

He
then groaned. “I’ve wanted you for so long, Lilly. So fucking long. So has
Riley.”

Oh God.

Everything
was so surreal. First Riley had professed his love to her, and now
Tallin
was telling her how much
he
had wanted her.

“We
want you, baby.”

“You’ve
talked about this?”

He
was looking at her mouth again as he nodded. “A lot, Lilly.”

He
loomed over her, all hard sinew and tendons straining and bunching above her,
making her mouth water. He looked down at her lips, and she involuntarily
licked them, hearing his soft groan after the act. “We won’t make you choose.
We want to share you, to be there for you.”

He
couldn’t breathe. This was all so unreal.

“I
want to kiss you so fucking badly. Tell me how much you want me to kiss you.
Tell me how much you’ve wanted me.”

She
was propped on her elbows, her breasts thrust out as she braced her weight on
her arms. She lowered her gaze to his mouth, the need to press her lips to his
overwhelming her until she found herself rising up, moving closer to him. Her
mouth was an inch away from his, their breath mingling.

“Tell
me, Lilly. Tell me how much you have wanted me, too. Tell me you want to be
with us, to have us be the only ones for you.” His voice was low and strained,
as if he were having just as hard a time as she was controlling her emotions.

She
took a deep, steadying breath before she spoke. “I want you,
Tallin
,
and
I
want Riley.”

“Tell
me you want us both, only us.”

“I
only want you two.”

He
groaned deeply again, but he didn’t kiss her right away like she’d hoped. He
pulled the blankets away from her and slipped onto the bed so that his heat
immediately enveloped her. He leaned over her, his chest parallel to hers, her
legs spread, and his big body making her feel so very feminine.

His
look became even more heated a second before he pressed his lips to hers, his
tongue stabbing into the hot recess of her mouth and controlling every part of
her. She moaned when he pressed his upper body forward, forcing her to lie back
as he deepened the kiss. His hand was pressed to her cheek, holding the side of
her face, his thumb stroking her skin, and their tongues dueling.

She
brought her arms and rested her hands on his bulging shoulders, dug her nails
into his hard flesh.
Tallin
moved his other hand
down, over her hip, down her thighs, and squeezed the flesh barely covered in
thin cotton shorts.

“Spread
you legs as wide as they’ll go, baby.”

Her
body, her skin, and her very cells were alive with pleasure as
Tallin’s
tongue pressed against hers.
