They glanced at each other, and I sighed.
“I’m not.”
“Okay, okay.” Cade held up his arms.
“Light it, seriously.”
“If you say so.”
He lit the joint, taking a puff or two before handing it my way.”
“See, I’d heard you were pretty sheltered.”
I inhaled on the smoke, coughing slightly and feeling the buzz hit me before I passed it along to Caspian.
“And what have you heard?”
They glanced at each other.
“Oh, what?”
“Nothing.”
“C’mon, tell me!”
I knew what they’d heard. Of course, most people had heard about Lucian’s three virgin daughters. I knew it wasn’t true, but I hadn’t even ever told my sisters about that night when I’d been a total idiot with Prince Henry.
“I promise you, I’m not as innocent as you think I am.”
“Says the twenty-one-year-old virgin.”
I held Caspian’s eyes, the grin still on his lips.
“Not.”
He frowned. “Pardon?”
“I’m not. A virgin, I mean,” I said quickly, taking a big sip of the champagne he passed me.
A shadow crossed his face.
“Oh, please don’t tell me you’re one of those old fashioned assholes who thinks I’m like, less for not waiting until marriage.”
He frowned harder. “Absolutely not.”
I turned to his brother, seeing the same shadow on his face.
“You sure? Cause you look like—”
“We look like we’re pissed that some little shit got his hands on you and clearly didn’t appreciate what he had.”
I froze, eyeing them. “And what makes you think he didn’t?”
“Because he’s not here right now, threatening to throw both of us out the window for stealing you away.”
I smiled, my face red and my body tingling.
“It was a long time ago,” I shrugged. “And just once.” I sighed. “And you’re right, he was a total shithead.”
“Anyone we know?”
I glanced up at Cade. “Why?”
“So we can beat the shit out of him for you.”
I giggled, the bubbly and the smoke making me feel lighter and actually somehow clearer already. “Looking to defend my honor?”
“Always”
I bit my lip, falling into Cade’s eyes. “Well, thank you, but I’m okay.”
I sighed, shaking my head at the offered smoke again and sipping the champagne instead. The moment felt perfect. I felt safe, and happy, and just at ease with these two. Hell, I’d just told them about Henry, and I hadn’t even told my sisters that.
Caspian suddenly laughed. “Shit, why do I feel like we’re in high school right now?”
His brother chuckled. “Maybe ‘cause we’re hiding from the party, drinking champagne from the bottle, and smoking pot?”
I laughed, a snorting laugh that made me laugh more as they laughed along with me.
“If this was high school, we’d need to be playing spin the bottle or truth or dare or something stupid like that.”
I instantly caught the interested look on Cade’s face.
“Not playing spin the bottle, Mr. Chivalry,” I said, trying to hide my grin.
“Wouldn’t have even dreamed of it.”
“I would have,” Caspian said, making me shiver as I laughed it off.
“I could be okay with truth or dare though?”
Both of their brows perked up.
“Oh really?”
“Told you I wasn’t the innocent little princess from the tower you thought I was.”
“We’ll see about that.”
I swallowed the shiver at Cade’s words, the heat in the room sizzling through me.
“Okay who goes first?”
Caspian shrugged. “Go ahead.”
“Just ask either of you?”
“Sure.”
I grinned as I sank back into the couch, feeling the warmth tease through my body, the room feeling smaller like it was just the three of us in the dim firelight in this moment.
“Okay, you,” I pointed at Cade.
“Uh-oh.”
I giggled. “Truth or dare?”
“This is so high school,” he laughed. “But fine. Truth.”
The words left my lips before I could even think about it.
“Have you two ever, you know…” I blushed. “With one girl?”
They both froze, and Cade’s jaw dropped. “Damn, you don’t beat around the bush do you?”
I quickly shook my head. “You don’t have to answer that.”
“Yes I do.”
“I looked up into those eyes. Of course, I was thinking about Priscilla coming on to both of them. I mean, I could see it, as much as it shocked me. Two gorgeous sexy, blond princes? Identically good looking?
I blushed again.
Yeah, I could see the appeal. What girl wouldn’t? But then, who would actually act on it?
Cade’s eye’s locked on mine.
“Yes.”
The heat came roaring through my face as my jaw dropped.
“Wait, really?”
He nodded. “Yep.”
My eyes darted between them. “Wait, both of you?”
Caspian nodded, even if it wasn’t his turn.
“Like, at the same time?”
Cade nodded. “Yes.”
The feeling that slammed through my body right then could only be described as want. It was pure, raw, lust.
“Wow,” I managed to whisper, sinking back into the couch. “How does that even work?”
“Just the one question,” Cade grinned. “My turn.”
I just nodded, my head still spinning.
“Truth or dare,” he said to me.
I shook my head, still not able to clear the filthy, x-rated thoughts of both of these men taking a girl together from my head.
“Um, truth.”
“Are you thinking about both of us with one girl right now?”
