Excerpt
I expect West to laugh. They have a
competitive camaraderie that is fun to be around. Except he doesn’t
laugh. He doesn’t even crack a smile. Instead his gaze drops to
where Blue’s hand is on my ass. For the first time since he showed
up, lust flashes across his face.
Nervous, I glance at Blue. He’s
watching me, lids low, a dark expression on his face. He knows
exactly what he’s doing, and I think he likes it. It’s some kind
of tease, an extension of their friendly competitiveness, natural and
somehow intimate.
So intimate it makes me wonder if
they’ve ever done more than tease.
My eyes widen. “Have you and him
ever…?”
The corner of Blue’s mouth lifts.
“What’s that, beautiful?”
“You know,” I stammer. “Shared
a girl.”
The words come out in a rush, and I
know from the sultry, smug looks on their faces that I’m right.
“Not shared,” Blue says. “Not exactly. But I watched sometimes,
sure. We’d get a night off and head to the bar near base. There
are, what? Two men for every woman there. Maybe more.”
“Some girls like an audience,”
West says, the drawl in his voice more pronounced.
The room feels twenty degrees
hotter as testosterone and arousal swirl in the air. I had no idea
that Blue was kinky enough to watch a couple have sex—although he’s
been plenty kinky in other ways with just me and him. I imagine being
some girl in a bar, being picked up by two men as big and strong and
sexy as these two. It’s overwhelming…and I realize I may not have
to imagine it after all.
Blue watches me from slitted eyes.
My voice is shaking. “Did you
want me to—”
“You don’t have to do anything
you don’t want to, beautiful. We’re just getting to know each
other, after all.”
It makes me wonder if he thinks
I’ll do more once I know West better. It makes me wonder if I even
want to do more. Of course West is a handsome man, but being shared?
“Umm.”
Blue shifts in his chair slightly,
so my leg is trapped around his, and I’m slightly more
exposed—facing West fully. “Maybe we could give him something to
see,” he murmurs. “A nice little memory to bring to bed with him.
Would he like that?”
West is completely still, lean body
full of tension. “Christ, yes.” He pushes back in his chair, his
expression more pain than pleasure. “Only if you’re okay, Hannah.
Only if…”
“I’m okay,” I say, stronger
now. God, if there’s one thing I know how to do, it’s to give a
man a show. “I want to.”
Just like Blue and West think all
they can do is fight, all I can do is dance. And this isn’t even
dancing for strangers. This is dancing for the man I love—and his
best friend.
Except dancing isn’t what Blue
has in mind.
