He stood in my door way not only fuming and irritated, but not alone. Him and Maverick took up the tiny door frame, their wide shoulders, imposing bodies in cold gray suits took my breath away. And I was lost for breath or something to say until Jude shoved his way in and shut the door, facing Denton with a fury I had never seen before. Denton only stared back confused and a little amused, as Maverick just stood nearby ready to ref if it got ugly. I hoped it wouldn’t, but I stepped between them anyway and faced Jude.
“Calm down.” I placed my hands on his hard chest, somehow still surprised by just how hard it was. And I inhaled his scent when I took a deep breath and nearly collapsed from the perfection of it. His fresh cologne and natural, hard aroma was dizzying and flooded right through my blood. I glanced at Maverick who smiled softly at me.
“What’s he doing here? What aren’t you telling us?” Jude growled and stared down at me with hard eyes.
I simply laugh at his question. The absurdity of it is what got me at first, and then how misguided it really was. Then I was stuck on how jealous he sounded, and wondered if it meant he was just territorial, or actually cared about me that much. I never saw anything with them that way, that they could have that much feeling towards me at all. I knew it was just an arrangement, outside of their office and one-sided hiring agreement. But I enjoyed it anyway, I had no problem with the way things were. Just that they were confusing and time consuming.
But there they stood in my measly apartment, confronting me like I had done something wrong, demanding answers from me and staring me down like they want to see me naked at the same time they want to scold me. But I held back my laugh as I stood between him and Denton, trying not to be distracted by the strength of his chest and cut of his muscles.
“Nothing, Jude. I’m not sure why you are so angry right now.” I said. His eyes sharpened as he looked over my head at Denton, who I could feel fuming. Denton wasn’t one for confrontation or conflict, so I knew he was just inside of himself by then, wondering what the hell was going on.
“I saw you with him at the club, dancing all over each other. Now he is here at your apartment—so there must be something.” Jude said with a snap to his voice. And Maverick behind him, shuffled on his feet towards me to ease the tension. Behind me, I heard Denton snicker and I stepped away from Jude, effectively moving him away from the angry Jude.
The space of our foyer seemed so much smaller with all of them there.
“It’s our apartment, Jude. In fact, he pays most of the rent. Because we’re best friends.” I said. His brows screwed up together and he tightened his jaw. Maverick cleared his throat, and Jude turned to look at him for a split second before he focused on me and Denton, his eyes fleeting between us.
“Yeah right, I know how these things go. Don’t lie to me, Henley. And you—” he turned to Denton with the same hard look in his eye and I turned to see Denton holding back his laugh, as he glanced down at me. I tried to apologize with my eyes, hoping the situation would resolve itself.
“Henley is off limits.” Jude snarled and Maverick just shook his
head once at his friend, though his expression seemed to agree with what he had said.
Denton laughed once and I turned to face him, my side facing Jude. I started to talk before Denton cut me off.
“It’s okay,” he said to me, “that’s fine, um—whatever your names are. Unless Henley has a secret dick I don’t know about, I don’t want her. She’s just my needy best friend.” He locked me in his arm under his shoulder and I laughed nervously as I looked to Jude and Maverick.
Jude straightened his tense form out and Maverick tried to hold back his laugh. The situation was funny now, but I was worried it could have gotten a lot worse. I was glad it hadn’t, as both Jude and Maverick seemed to relax a bit.
“Okay then. Sorry about that.” Jude smirked at me.
I wiggled out of Denton’s hold as he laughed.
“No worries. Well, I’m going to take off so you all can… do whatever it is you do.” He shot me a look before he kissed my cheek goodbye, and left me in my apartment with Jude and Maverick.
Those two dominant, alpha men were so overbearing it was almost hard to breathe. I inhaled sharply as I shifted on my feet.
“So… now that things are all cleared up.” I giggled nervously.
Jude smirked his usual sexy, mysterious look and Maverick stared me down as well. Suddenly my whole body was alive, on fire… I wanted them badly all the time, and it was no different. My knees were nearly quivering at the look they were giving me.
“Henley.” Maverick said. He fiddled with the end of his cufflink as he looked at me, I watched the strong way his hand turned, his veins and even muscular hand were still a shock. If I thought hard enough I could imagine the way they felt on me.
“Yes.” I swallowed, looking between them both. The darkness in their eyes was familiar to me—the desire; but it was still so crippling and exciting at the same time.
“Wait for us in your bedroom.” Jude said. A growl nearly eminent in his voice.
I swallowed nervously again, my body humming with excitement. My lips parted as I exhaled a breath of hot air.
“Naked, on your bed. Now.” Maverick said. I blinked rapidly, but it didn’t take long for me to turn on my heel and make my way to the bedroom. Doing exactly what they said and loving every second of it.

Maverick
It was always our plan to take Henley like this. I was buzzing with anticipation, and my cock throbbed in my pants at the thought of her. Knowing she was waiting for us, naked on her bed and ready to offer herself to me and Jude. I was so mad for her, so taken by her. I could barely see straight. So much that I didn’t even notice her best friend was gay, or that we really were the only men in her life.
And we would be the only ones to have her like this.
