Zoey (I Dare You Book 2) (4 page)

“You okay?” Heidi reached up to caress the side of his face. They were in the bedroom now, and he’d been too distracted in thought to realize it.

“Better than ever.”

“Want to talk about it?” Nathan gazed at him with understanding. He knew Rafe too well and could tell something was up, and Rafe hated that he was such an open book. There was one issue that lingered, but now was not the time to bring it up. He needed to enjoy the moment first.

“Not really.” He smirked. “Right now, what I’d like is a Rafe sandwich and to test out that very large bed right over there.”

“Hell, I want that too.” Nathan snickered before stepping closer, and Heidi sighed contentedly.

Nathan moved around Rafe’s body so that only Heidi stood in front of him now, and it made him groan with pleasure. From behind, the other man’s tongue traced the nape of his neck up to his lobe and then sucked on it. His hot breath caused goose bumps, while Heidi stroked him to get him back to the state of arousal he had been in downstairs.

It didn’t take long.

“While you two move this to the bed, I’ll go get the lube,” Nathan whispered, and then nipped the side of Rafe’s neck before he stepped away. His warmth was replaced by cool air, but only for a moment. Heidi pressed herself tighter against him and began walking backward until her legs hit the side of the bed. She immediately positioned herself on top of it and pulled him right down with her. They were pressed breast to chest, and his cock twitched as she rubbed herself against it. She was slick and ready for him to pounce, and fuck, did he ever want to feel her heat. They both moaned in unison.

He was so hard it was beginning to feel painful. He rubbed himself harder against her, and it didn’t take long for her to reach bliss. She screamed, and his cock took over, entering her in one smooth stroke. Her pussy quivered around him, and he lay still, enjoying their moment as one, hoping to last longer by starting off slow.

Fingers moist with lube soon probed his rear end, giving him exactly what he’d asked for. They rimmed his puckered hole and slowly fucked him in and out to get him ready for Nathan. First one and then two, and between the heavenly vagina wrapped around his dick and his lover’s hands working his ass, his breath was rapid when he began to pump into Heidi.

“You ready for me, Rafe?” Nathan whispered into his ear raggedly.

“God, yes!” He nodded and tried hard to concentrate on his own movements. He had to slow down a little as the heat of Nathan’s body soon surrounded him again, seeking entrance.

“Mmm, I love our sandwiches.” Heidi pulled him down to her tenderly for a kiss, and he couldn’t do anything but moan as she possessed his mouth.

“That’s it, make some noise for us.” Nathan leaned forward, nipped at his lobe again, and began to move in rhythm with Rafe. “We missed you, lover. Don’t ever want to be a part from you again—”

“Oh God, you both feel so good.” Rafe gasped and pumped his hips faster. His balls drew close as he impaled the woman he loved, and it was going to happen again any minute now. He was going to bust a nut with this load, but it would be worth it.
Fuck yeah, so good!

“Mm,” Nathan grunted. “Love it. Now let’s come together, man. I’m so close. Fill our girl, Rafe. Come for me.”

All the dirty talk seemed to trigger Heidi. Rafe watched her gaze lovingly at each of them as she whispered, “I will again if you do.” And that was all it took. He reached behind him to hold Nathan’s face close to his own and turned sideways to kiss him quickly before he screamed out in ecstasy. Both cocks jerked together, Rafe spilled into Heidi while Nathan released himself into Rafe, and it was one hell of a homecoming.

Chapter Three

“Okay, what’s up?” They were all in bed together when Heidi rolled over and pinned Rafe against her. Her head rested on his chest, and she looked into his eyes as she waited for her answer.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Bullshit!” She called his bluff. “You’ve been here two weeks now, and every time we’re not making love, you seem to zone out. So spill it. What’s got you worked up?”

“She’s got you there.” Nathan chuckled and leaned over to brush his lips against Heidi’s forehead affectionately. “Come on, Rafe, you’ve been a part of us for too long now for us not to notice when something is bothering you.”

“It’s nothing, really.” Rafe sighed and then looked away from them both as if he wanted a subject change.

“Come on, spill it. You know you can tell us anything, right? We care about you, and if you’re hurting so are we,” Heidi pleaded. If there was something wrong, she wanted to—needed to—fix it.

Nathan rolled over Heidi so that he could get closer to Rafe too. He sat up and placed his hand against Rafe’s heart. “Anything,” he repeated.

“You left,” Rafe whispered. “It just hasn’t been the same since you left me in Port Jervis.”

Heidi gasped. “Are you saying you want out? You’re going to leave us?” Her eyes filled with tears, and she was totally heartbroken just at the thought of life without Rafe with them.

“God no!” Rafe quickly pulled her to him for comfort. “I’m here as long as the two of you are willing.”

“Well, then, plan to stick around for the rest of your life.” Nathan rubbed Heidi’s back to calm her down.

“Then what are you saying exactly?”

“What I’m saying is that I’ve had some time to think in the short time we were apart. I know you both love me. Hell, I hope you know how much I care for the both of you too. It’s just sometimes I feel like the third wheel. I feel like I’m in the way. You’re both married now, and what am I, your play toy?”

“Hardly a play toy, Rafe. You’re so much more.” Heidi gripped him against her harder and then leaned back to look at him again. “And you’re never in the way.”

“Just tell us how to make it right for you?” Nathan interrupted. He was beginning to look worried. “The last thing we’d ever want is for you to feel uncomfortable or unwanted. We’d hate to lose you.” He gulped and cleared his throat while Heidi reached back for him and squeezed his hand.

“You can’t really. This is my problem to work through. I guess I just long to find my something spicy who’ll agree to love you both as much as I do. I love you both truly, and forever sounds like heaven, but I want what the two of you have as well.”

Heidi smirked, knowing that he was referring to when she and Nathan first started their relationship. It had been a rocky road, as Nathan had run from his feelings and almost shut her out of his life for good. He’d soon realized what a mistake that had been with the help of Rafe, and he’d humiliated himself in front of hundreds as he serenaded her inside their favorite club, Drink Nights.
That was the night he’d proposed to her, and it was also the night they’d had their first threesome experience with Rafe. It was explosive, and the three of them had been together ever since.

He obviously took the brief separation harder than she had thought, though, and she wanted to make things right. She had to fix this or risk losing him eventually, and that was not going to happen if she had anything say about it. What she shared with Nathan was an amazing love. He was her other half, and Rafe, well, he just completed them somehow. The three of them just worked.

“Then let’s make it happen. There has to be one woman out there with an open mind. We had fun with Zoey the last night in Port Jervis, didn’t we? We could do that again. We could find a woman for you and make her our fourth. What’s the worst that could happen?” She rubbed her hands together. “Never mind, don’t answer that. All Nathan and I want is for you to be happy. Do we want to change what we all have? Never, so I can only hope for the best, that you’ll one day find a woman who is also okay with this.” She gestured between the three of them. “It could happen, right?” She was now a woman on a definite mission, but was disrupted from her thoughts by the laughter surrounding her.

“God, I love you.” Nathan pulled her onto his lap and kissed her thoroughly. “You’re one of a kind, Heidi, but you can’t just start planning things without talking to Rafe first. And what makes you so sure we can find another one like you for him?”

“I just do.” Heidi shrugged, smiling wide. “In fact, I think I already have someone in mind.”

“You do, do you?” Rafe grinned. “Have I told you how much I love you lately?”

“You have, but a girl can’t ever hear it enough.” She smiled again and positioned herself in between the two of them. “Just promise me that adding a fourth will only make our union stronger. I can’t bear to think of losing what we have.”

“It’ll never happen,” Rafe whispered. “What we have is too good. How could I ever think of leaving when you both give me everything I’ve ever wanted and more?”

Nathan cleared his throat and pulled her against him. “And I guarantee I’m not going anywhere. I gave you my vows and promised to love and cherish you for the rest of my days. You’re stuck with me, my love.”

“Thank you,” she said. “Now prove it. Love me tonight, and tomorrow we’ll plan our mission to find a fourth.” She winked and lay back as Nathan went straight between her legs while Rafe took her mouth. They started off slow and finished with their hearts, minds, bodies, and souls.

Life was about to get a little more interesting, and Heidi was up for the challenge to make it happen. Rafe’s happiness depended on it, and she aimed to please, even if the outcome was unclear for the future.

“So did Rafe show up yet?” Heidi was over for a visit, and Zoey’s curiosity got the best of her. She couldn’t help it after their last experience as a foursome. She’d not only fulfilled the dare, but she secretly hoped for more.

Rafe and Nathan belonged to Heidi, she knew that, and would never betray her friend by making any advances or anything. She loved Heidi, and she’d had just as much fun with her that night, but the fantasies continued and they were mostly about that Greek Adonis and his magical cock filling her up. She felt conflicted about it.

“Sure did. He’s been with us a couple of weeks now, in fact.” Heidi sighed and looked like she was trying to figure out something. Her forehead creased and she tapped her chin in thought.

“Hey, I thought you’d be happier. What’s up?”

“We’ll get to that.” Heidi shooed away her worries and took the subject off herself for a minute. Meagan was on the phone with them on speaker. As great as their other friend was, Zoey sensed she wasn’t ready to talk about it at the moment, so she’d ask her about it later. “So, Meagan, how is school and your Mr. Hottie former colleague doing? Have you fucked him yet?”

“Subtle, chica. Real subtle.” She chuckled.

“Well…” Heidi prompted her to continue. “Come on give us some details.”

“There isn’t much to tell. I’m enjoying my time here, but at the same time I’m also a little homesick. I miss everyone like crazy, but I’m also loving school at the moment and I’m looking forward to the future. As for David? Well, let’s just say I’m meeting him tonight at the office. I’ll let you know how that turns out later on.” She lowered her tone seductively for the last part, so Zoey assumed it was game on for tonight. “Now enough about me. What I’d like to know is how the other night went for Zoey.”

“I’m so not ready to go there with Rob and Ila,” Zoey whined. “But at least I haven’t totally screwed myself into the poor house.” She sighed. “I chickened out this time.” They’d been upfront with Meagan about joining Heidi and her gang that night, but they’d graciously spared her on the details seeing as Nathan was her cousin and all. She was a good sport about it, but her friends also knew she wanted to explore more. She had thought the opportunity with Rob and Ila could be it, but it hadn’t worked out so well after all.

“Oh, honey, you were so excited for it. What happened?” Heidi asked and held her hand.

“It was all set, and I was looking forward to it, really. I called Rob and Ila last week and set it up to meet them for a drink before going to Lyrics and Lust, but the moment I stepped out of the cab and saw the two of them through the pub’s window, I got cold feet. I couldn’t fucking do it. I don’t really know them well enough to take that leap. I need more time.”

She could still remember how rapidly her heart beat. It had been windy when she’d stepped out of the cab. She’d stood there at the open car door just about ready to give the cabbie a twenty when she’d locked gazes with Rob through the window and froze. Her lip was still tender from biting it a few nights ago. Her nerves had gotten the best of her. It was only when the cab driver had asked her if she was coming or going because he didn’t have all night that she’d snapped out of it. Zoey had hurriedly mouthed a quick apology to the man in the pub at a distance and then she’d jumped back in the car and went straight home. She’d called the couple later to apologize, and they were surprisingly understanding about the whole situation. In fact, she still had an open invitation to join them whenever she was ready to.

“I’m actually proud of you,” Meagan said. “We’d never expect you to do something you’re uncomfortable with. We love you, Zoey.”

“Agreed.” Heidi squeezed the hand she was holding.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah.” Zoey cleared her throat. “Now enough about me. We want the details when you have them, Meagan.”

“Cross my heart. Look, I’ve got class in an hour, so I should get going. I love you both, and we’ll talk soon, okay?”

“You can count on it,” Zoey said.

“Bye. Love you, Meagan,” Heidi chimed in.

Then there were two after Meagan hung up, and it was time for Zoey to find out what was up with her friend.

“Okay, now that she’s gone, what’s wrong?” Zoey got right to the point.

Heidi bit her lip. “I’m extremely happy, don’t get me wrong. Nathan and I are in love, and hell, who am I kidding? He’s perfect for me. Then we have Rafe to complete us, but I’m a little worried…”

“About what?” Zoey snorted. “I envy you right now. Not only one, but two drop-dead-gorgeous men who worship you. Would you like to switch places?” she joked; she couldn’t imagine what would have Heidi so worked up.

Her banter was meant to lighten the mood, and it worked, because Heidi smiled. “Very funny.” Heidi playfully nudged Zoey’s shoulder before placing her arm around it. “What I need is to find a good woman with an open mind to make our fourth. Know anyone?”

Heidi grinned larger as Zoey tried to process what she’d just heard. And it looked like she was waiting to go on until Zoey gave her a reaction.
Holy cow!
Butterflies danced in her stomach, and her heart soared with longing.
Me, me, me!
she wanted to shout, but decided to play it cool until she knew more. “What?” She did a double take before her lips slowly upturned into a beautiful smile of her own. “Why on earth would you be looking for someone else?” She chuckled as if in disbelief and took a step back from Heidi to place their coffee mugs in the kitchen sink.

“Because as much as Rafe loves being with Nathan and I, our move took a toll on him and he’s beginning to feel like the third wheel.” Heidi sighed again. “I don’t want to lose what we have, Zoey, but what matters most at the moment is his happiness.” Heidi smiled shyly. “Last night when we were in bed together, I could tell something was up, and he finally caved. He wants what Nathan and I have together with a woman of his own, but he also wants to involve her with us. His exact words were, and I quote”—she made air quotes with her fingers to emphasize—“‘I feel like I’m in the way. You’re both married now, and what am I, your play toy?’ After assuring him that wasn’t the case, he said he just wanted something spicy like what Nathan and I have. I mean, what am I supposed to do?”

“Oh, Heidi.” Zoey wrapped her arms around her in a hug. “I’m sure it will all work out. I mean, I’ve only met Rafe a few times, but anyone could see the chemistry between the three of you. You’re the envy of every woman.” She smiled and pulled back to look her in the eye. “So what do you want to do?”

“You’re kidding, right? I want to love both my men. It took forever for Nathan to notice me, and I cherish my every waking moment with him, and then there’s Rafe. He’s an added bonus neither of us expected, but we love him, and right now my mission is to make them both happy.”

“They’re lucky to have you.”

“Damn straight,” Heidi answered, and Zoey laughed.

“Okay, then, so we’re on a mission to find Rafe another woman. Do you have any ideas about how to go about this? I mean, do you have someone in mind, or are we going in blind? We could check out some bars. There’s this great place down the street called The Rendezvous
that I go to time and again. Tuesday nights are half-price drink nights. The place is usually pretty packed. Or are you going to let nature take its course? Rafe’s a gorgeous guy. I’m sure he’ll have no problems at all finding female attention.” Zoey shrugged and focused her gaze on Heidi again. She was genuinely curious about how Heidi would figure this out and secretly hoped it would be her they chose since they already had chemistry. She also knew she needed to tread carefully. It was her best friend’s happiness they were talking about here.
