Time to Play (8 page)

“They’re everywhere.”

“I’m big news, baby.”

“Don’t boast. It makes you look
small.”

Cole smiled. Simone would be good
for
Callum
. She’d keep him on his toes and never let
him get away with anything. He parked the car in their designated spot then got
out of the car. Simone had already opened her door and was out looking around
at the deserted parking lot. “Other people live here?” she asked.

He didn’t like her getting out of
the car without his help. Cole trapped her against the door of the car.

“What?”

“Don’t get out of the car until I
open your door for you,” he said.

“It’s just a car.”

“I don’t care.”

He pressed his body against her
waiting for her to come undone beneath his touch. Her eyes were wide as she
stared at him. Cole watched her lick her lips. The action made his dick harder
than rock. She wasn’t trying to tease him. Her moves were completely natural,
and he loved it.

“Okay,” she said, giving in to him.
Her submission made his cock leak pre-cum.

Cole moved away taking her hand in
his. He saw his friend smirking at him. He didn’t care.
 

Chapter Six

“You both live here?” Simone asked
as the elevator took them up to their floor. The condo was larger than her
apartment. From the look of the sitting room, that room alone was larger than
her apartment.

“Yes, we both like our space.”
Callum
spoke first.

Cole let go of her hand. The moment
he did, she missed his touch. Never in her life had she wanted two men at the
same time. Was that even natural? Her body melted under the heat of both men’s
gazes.

“Is this where a lot of the work
gets done?” she asked.

Both men nodded their head. She glanced around at their space. It had a
masculine feel to the room. She liked it.

“Where will I be working?”

“Through here,”
Callum
said, taking her hand
and leading her through several rooms. She saw the gym, and instantly her mind
was filled with both men working out. The sweat they’d be working up by pumping
weights made her pussy pulse with renewed arousal. She was alone in an
apartment with two men whom she wanted desperately. Simone knew she’d resist,
but with the way her pussy was melting, she knew it would be a struggle.

He led her through to the main office that overlooked the balcony and an
outside swimming pool.

“You guys call this an office?” she asked, staring out at the pool. The
glinting water called to her. She had loved going for a swim when she was
younger. When her chest began to fill out and her body expand, swimming was
much easier to do alone.

Callum
and Cole were both standing behind
her. She liked the look of each man on either side of her. They were like her
protectors.
Her very own sex slaves.
She smiled
wondering what it would be like to choose between a blond or a brunette.

“That smile tells me you’re thinking sexy thoughts, Miss
Allusifa
,”
Callum
said. He
reached out stroking her hair over her shoulder. She tried to ignore the call
of her body. His touch sent her nerves spiralling out of control. No man should
ever have this much control over another woman.

“No reason.”

“We haven’t brought through the papers you’ll need to go through. We’ll
have everything you’ll need within a day or two,” Cole said.

“In the meantime am I free to look for work elsewhere?” she asked.

“I don’t think that would be wise. Everyone knows you’re
Callum’s
woman. All the interview will do is
stir
up more interest. If you do that, the press will never
be off your back.”

She sighed. “So, I’m trapped no matter where I go.”

“No, you’re not,”
Callum
said. “I’m trapped in
the office most days. Until you start work, Cole would be more than happy to
help you. He’ll take you wherever you want to go.”

“Really?
You’d be happy being my driver and bodyguard?”
she asked, turning back to Cole.

“It would be a pleasure.”

She snorted at the answer. “This is totally weird.”

Simone gazed out at the pool. She hoped she’d be able to test the water
at some point before everything blew over. In the space of a day her whole
world had been turned upside down.

“I think you should take me home,” she said, suddenly feeling the need
to sleep.

“You need to eat first,”
Callum
said.

“I’ll go and order.” Cole left the room, leaving
Callum
with Simone. She stared out at the water and felt him move behind her.

“What do you think?” he asked.

“I think you’re a cold-hearted bastard who will hurt anyone to get what
he wants.” His hand paused in stroking her hair. He pulled the length over one
shoulder exposing her neck. She closed her eyes when she felt his lips
caressing the pulse in the side of her neck.

“Is that really a bad thing?”

“You tell me.”

His hands banded around her waist. She felt the strength in his touch as
he pulled her back against him. The length of his cock pressed into her ass.
Simone felt the heat of him through the material of her skirt.

“I can’t say anything other than the fact I want you. I saw you walk
into the bar Friday night, and I couldn’t tear my gaze away. You captivated me,
Simone, before I even knew your name.”

She opened her eyes. He was staring at her reflection in the glass. Both
of his hands were on her stomach steadying her as he thrust against her. Even
if she wanted to push him away, Simone knew she couldn’t. Her arousal was too
great.

“I’m not a heartless bastard, Simone. I take what I want, but I can give
as
good
as I take.”

She cried out as he sucked on the side of her neck. Her arms went behind
her, wrapping around his neck.
Callum
nibbled and
sucked on her neck. She knew when he was
done,
she’d
be marked by his lips.

Push him away.

I don’t want to.

He’ll take you over and make you
forget who you are.

Cole cleared his throat making her pull away from
Callum
.
Her cheeks were red. Only an hour ago, Cole had brushed his lips across hers.
Now she was practically dry humping his best friend.

“Food is on the way.”

“I need to freshen up,” she said.

“The bathroom is down the end of the hall,”
Callum
said.

“I’ll show you.” Cole made a move to follow her. She stopped him with a
hand to his chest. “I can find it. Please, I need some space.”

He didn’t follow her as she passed him. She was thankful for the space
he allowed her.

Simone made her way down the hall. She opened one door and found a
bedroom. When she opened the next door she found a supply closet. On the last
door, she found the bathroom. She locked the door, resting against the wall
trying to catch her breath.

Licking her lips with the need to do something, Simone stepped near the
sink. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her lips were swollen even
though he hadn’t touched her lips. Lifting a mass of her hair up off her neck,
she saw the marks he’d left behind. The flesh was red with a few specks of
purple dotting through. She knew the mark would be on her neck for a couple of
days, maybe as long as a week.

She sighed, staring into her own eyes wondering what was wrong with her.

Callum
followed Cole out into the kitchen.
The food had yet to arrive, and he wanted some strong coffee to try to ease his
aching cock. She’d been rubbing against his shaft, her own needs calling to him.
He couldn’t keep his hands to himself.

“You want her,” he said to Cole.

His friend gave him a funny look then went back to the paper he’d been
reading.
Callum
waited for the coffee to percolate
while he stared at his long time friend.

“I’m merely helping a friend,” Cole said.

Callum
snorted. Cole didn’t help people.
“I’ve seen the way you’ve been looking at her. She responds to you as well,
Cole. The kiss back in her apartment was a little restrained for your tastes.”

“Why are you trying to get me to share your woman, huh? Why can’t you
just drop it?” Cole asked.

The anger rose inside Cole, and
Callum
didn’t
understand what had happened to make his friend stop sharing a woman. Some of
their best times had been driving a woman wild with need.

“Because this is who we are. You shouldn’t deny yourself, Cole.”

“So, I should share your woman. Fuck her out of my system until you tire
of her? I love you like a brother,
Callum
, but I’m
not fucking another woman for you to grow bored of her.” Cole picked up his
paper and began reading.

He was about to argue when Simone came around the corner. “Coffee smells
good,” she said.

“Find the bathroom okay?”

“Better than okay.”
She took the seat next to Cole. He
was doing the crossword puzzle.
Callum
watched the two
of them together. Didn’t Cole see how he leaned a little closer to her? His
hand moved behind her chair, his thumb touching her arm. The action could be
mistaken by anyone else, but
Callum
knew it was
affection. In the short period of time that they’d known Simone, she’d gotten
under their skin. He felt it.
The burning need.
The
consuming fire to claim her sent warning signals through his mind. No woman
owned him. He owned them. He got what he wanted then moved on. Simone was
making it very difficult for him to move on. He didn’t like it. She was their
woman, and he wouldn’t be denied for much longer.

Their woman.

Callum
shook his head. The doorbell rang
distracting him from his thoughts. Cole was adamant he wasn’t sharing Simone.
Callum
paid for the Chinese with cash. The Oriental scents
filled the air, making his tummy growl. He’d not eaten since that morning, and
he was ravenous.

Simone was leaning on the edge of Cole’s seat when he walked in. She was
pointing to words and giving suggestions. Cole was stroking a strand of hair as
she leaned in close.

“Food is here,” he said.

Both of them moved at the same time getting closer to the smells. Simone
took the chop sticks and the carton of noodles.

“Never come between a woman and her food,” she said, sitting at the
counter then began to dive in.

His cock thickened while he watched those noodles disappear into her
mouth. She looked so fucking hot. How many women would have refused to eat the
food he’d provided? Cole was the same. He saw his friend admiring the woman
before them. Didn’t he realise she was perfect for them?

Callum
knew that Cole had seen the sharing
as a bit of fun whereas he had seen more in it. He wanted to know his friend
was safe and happy. The connection they got from being with a woman together
was much better than any of their solo performances.

“How is this going to work?” she asked.

“You’ll get picked up from your apartment then brought here for a day’s
work. In the meantime any social function or party I need to attend, you’ll come
with me as my date,”
Callum
said.

“Let me guess, I have to pretend to be completely besotted with you?”
She rolled her eyes as she gazed up at him.

“That will help.”
Callum
smiled wondering what
it would be like to have her blue as ice gaze staring up at him with love. He’d
seen the lust, the fire, and the anger. He wanted to see the love.

Where had that thought come from?

Callum
stared at Simone trying to find out
what was different about her from all the other women he’d dated. She was the
most enthralling female he’d seen.

“You’re drooling,” she said with a smirk on her face.

He continued looking at her and made a point of wiping his chin. “What
can I say? You’re a gorgeous woman.”

****

Cole ate his food in silence. He watched the interaction between Simone
and his friend.
Callum
looked totally taken with her.
He understood what his friend saw. She was sex on legs, but she was hesitant.
There was no way she was going to make life easy for them. He finished his food
taking little glances at the woman eating noodles.
