I giggled nervously. “Honestly yes.” I bit my lip and let my cheeks heat out of embarrassment. I never knew how he would react and Jude was difficult to be around at first. They, of course, both seemed kind enough—decent men, but Jude was… well he was brash. Definitely the harsher of the two.
“I’m sorry.” I blurted out as couldn’t hold back my giggles anymore. Jude only shook his head once with a slight smile.
Maverick laughed over his shoulder at us and continued with the food.
“Don’t apologize, I always want you to be honest. But I don’t read for leisure, I only understand numbers anyway.” He slid the paper away and sipped his coffee. I watched as his lips curled around the glass and his throat bobbed as he swallowed it down. I wished I had tasted more of him—of them both. I never thought about giving men hickies before I met them.
“Oh. Sometimes I feel the same way about legal ramifications and clauses.” I murmured.
Jude grinned at me his eyes softened. “You’re cute, Henley.”
I almost frowned. “Cute?” I gaped.
He and Maverick laughed together.
Maverick turned and handed me a cup of coffee, steaming and it smelled heavenly.
“He just means you’re… actually, cute is a good word.” Maverick said.
He plated food for me and sat with me and we all started eating. It smelled amazing and the eggs were so fluffy, the bacon not too crispy, but—
“Cute?” I asked again.
Maverick grinned down his nose at me and swallowed. “You’re adorable Henley, we both think so. It’s why we were so drawn to you in the beginning.”
I sighed teasing them, “So you acquired me because you thought I was cute and adorable?”
“Wow, you really are a lawyer.” Jude said through a full mouth.
“It’s just I was thinking more along the lines of…”
“Sexy? Gorgeous? Yeah, we think all those things too, don’t worry.” Maverick leaned in and laid a kiss on my cheek.
I finished the delicious breakfast and the coffee that seemed to be straight from Colombia.
“That sounds better.” I muttered with a bout of confidence. They both chuckled in response.
Jude grabbed the plates and came to stand on the other side of me at the counter. Suddenly I was surrounded again, by their aura, their scent, their sheer alpha prowl… it almost made me dizzy. But I just sipped more coffee nervously, sitting up straighter as I crossed my legs.
Jude touched my knee gingerly and uncrossed my legs as Maverick leaned in and touched his hand to my other thigh. I felt the heat taking over me again, all over my body started to yearn for them.
“We want to know how you enjoyed things last night.” Jude dropped his voice low. I didn’t have to really look to see both of them starting to tent their boxers.
I shuddered as I swallowed nervously, my confidence fading away. “It was… a new experience.” I whispered. They easily made my body so hot and bothered. I felt my nipples puckering and they were barely even touching me.
Maverick chuckled at my words and leaned in just to inhale my scent like he needed a hit of a drug. “One you would like to do again?” He asked.
“Didn’t the NDA say I had to?”
“No, we don’t want you thinking you have to do anything. It’s all for you. It’s what you want.” Jude responded.
I bit my lip softly and I realized I did want it. So badly. I wanted everything with them and it had only happened once. I wanted all of me to be—to be claimed.
“I do want to… do it again.” My gaze flickered between them both as I settled back on the white marble counter.
“Are you positive, Henley?” Maverick whispered in my ear and I nearly turned and kissed him as a response.
