“Hey there, darlin’,” he said, his voice as gentle as if he were talking to a skittish deer. “You sure about this?”
She appreciated the question and that he kept a bit of distance between them even though she was intensely aware that he was naked beneath the water. She gave a little nod. “Yes. Are you?”
He chuckled and slicked back his wavy, dark hair. “That saying about there are no stupid questions is a lie. If my best friend wants to share his beautiful submissive with me, I am more than happy to oblige you both.”
She frowned. “Submi
ssive?”
The conversation with Sam came back to her. Dominance. Submission. Sam and her training.
The water moved behind her as Kade slid into the water and wrapped his arms around her waist. His naked body pressed along her back, making her insides melt. “Just a term, Tess. The person in charge is the dominant, the one following the commands is the submissive.”
She turned in his arms, the water rippling around her. “So you’re a dominant?”
Something flickered in his blue eyes. Worry? Concern? “I am. So is Colby. Does that bother you?”
She rubbed her lips together, tasting chlorine and margarita salt, and considered the question. “No, I don’t think so. I’m just not a hundred percent sure what that means for me.”
He pushed her hair away from her face with wet fingers. “All it means for you right now is that we’re going to take the lead. There’s no pressure for you to decide what to do next. Just enjoy. And if something isn’t working for you, you let us know.”
She swallowed hard. Part of her thought she should take issue with this submissive role. Wasn’t that what Doug had always tried to make her be—the polite, obedient wife who was there as an accessory to the man of the house? But she had a feeling that’s not what submissive meant for Kade. Plus, she’d asked him from the beginning to take charge in bed, so she couldn’t exactly blame him for continuing to do that. God knows, she didn’t want the responsibility of making the moves tonight.
She took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay.”
“Close your eyes, baby,” he said, sliding a hand into her hair. “Let yourself go and savor this.”
She let her lids fall shut and his lips touched hers—warm and unhurried, a kiss that bloomed slowly and sent a sensual elixir through her blood. Her hands curled around his hips as his tongue stroked hers, and her muscles softened one by one, her nerves melting into the warm water surrounding them.
But when calloused palms closed over her breasts from behind and a hot mouth sucked water droplets from her shoulder, she gasped into Kade’s kiss. Kade didn’t release her though. He kept his fingers wrapped in her hair, holding her in place, as Colby cupped her breasts and drew her nipples between his fingers. The sensation shot straight downward and she involuntarily rocked her hips against Kade. His erection brushed against the wet lace of her panties, making her clench with need, but he seemed in no rush to stop the slow and tortuous approach.
He pulled back from the kiss for a moment, looking down at her with hunger in his gaze. “Take off her bra, Colby. I don’t want anything in the way.”
Colby made a pleased grunt under his breath and unhooked her bra. She moved her arms out of it and the scrap of lace and wire floated away. Then Kade dipped his head beneath the water. Rough fingers tugged at her panties, pulling them down and off. Before surfacing, he moved his mouth between her legs and blew, sending bubbles tickling her in a maddening tease. She moaned and leaned back, landing against the wall of muscle that was Colby’s chest.
Colby hooked his arms around her, tilting her back, and Kade’s bumped against the underside of her thighs. He’d spread her legs and draped them over his shoulders. Her body began to lift. When Kade broke the surface of the water again, he looked like some sort of ancient water god rising from the depths—blond hair slick and dripping and eyes filled with blue flame as he stared down at her open thighs. She was almost completely reclined now and her hips were above the water, her sex exposed to the chilled night air.
But her skin didn’t cool for long because Kade’s palms cupped her ass and lifted her to his mouth. She let out a shameless groan at the contact. His tongue was unbelievably hot against her clit, the sharp contrast in temperature almost enough to send her over into orgasm. “Oh, God.”
“That’s it, darlin’,” Colby said, all darkness and country swagger. “Watch him fuck you with his tongue. Slow and deep. I bet you taste so good. I can’t wait to find out for myself.” Colby dragged his tongue along the shell of her ear to punctuate his dirty words, and she thought she might spontaneously combust from the combination of the two men’s mouths on her.
She looked down her body, and Kade’s eyes met hers, an intense and unblinking connection as he traced his tongue along her folds and dipped it inside her. She lost herself for a moment in the eye contact. He didn’t have to say a word. She could hear it all. Don’t look away. Watch me undo you, Tess. Watch me shatter everything you thought you knew about me and about yourself. Nothing will ever feel as good as I can make you feel.
The thoughts terrified her, but she couldn’t grab onto the fear when he was making her body throb and heat with every stroke of his tongue. Colby pinched her nipples again, and she had to close her eyes to try to stave off the climax rumbling to the surface. She wanted this to last, wanted to savor every second of it.
“Don’t fight it,” Colby said against her ear. “I can see it happening. Your pussy’s getting so wet and pink beneath his mouth and your nipples are swelling between my fingers. You look so fucking sexy. Our cocks are both hard from watching you. Let yourself go over. Give in to the pleasure. We’ve got a lot more for you tonight.”
At that very moment, Kade sucked her clit between his lips and ran his tongue around it. Light burst behind her eyes, and she cried out as the sensations took her over. The cool water. The hot tongue. The strong arms around her. It all coalesced and threaded in with her orgasm, turning the dial to eleven instantly. So. Much. Her arms splashed restlessly in the water, seeking something to hold on to, but there was nothing. Only the force of her orgasm and water droplets landing on her heated skin like icy rain. Every inch of her turned hyperaware and electric, the slightest touch amplified.
Kade didn’t release her, his tongue and mouth fucking her like he wanted to drink her up and never stop. She couldn’t push back, or pull away. Colby held her in place and kissed her neck with hot, openmouthed kisses. She tipped her head back, overwhelmed with it all. In her blurred peripheral vision, she could see Jace standing near the edge of the pool, his jeans open. Both Evan and Andre were at his feet, licking his cock. It was too much. Another wave of orgasm hit her like a bolt. She moaned long and loud and squeezed her eyes shut.
Finally, when her eyes had nearly rolled into the back of her head and she truly couldn’t take any more, Kade pulled back and lowered her into the water. The change in temperature was a shock and she gasped, ready to hop back out, but her muscles were useless. She couldn’t get her footing. Colby held onto her until Kade took her from his arms. Kade lifted her and cradled her against his chest. She closed her eyes and let her head rest against his shoulder, her body quivering with aftershocks and the growing need for something more than Kade’s tongue.
In the background, she could hear another groan as Jace apparently was pushed past his own limit. God, she’d just come in front of a group of strangers and watched them do the same. What planet had she landed on?
“We’re not done with you, but I think it’s time to get you inside, baby,” Kade said gently.
Colby moved into action and climbed out of the pool to grab three big towels. Kade carried her out of the pool and wrapped her in the thick terry cloth before knotting a towel around his waist. Soon, the three of them were heading inside and into a large, toasty bedroom. Kade set her down on the bed and stepped back. She let her gaze move over them, no longer worried about being too bold. Her body revved anew at the sight of the two gorgeous men standing there wet and mostly naked, waiting for her. Whatever planet this was, she wanted to stay.
