She grinned. “Okay, fine. I’m a little tired. Can you blame me? It was a night of new experiences.”
”Speaking of new experiences, I bet Nina would be up for a threesome if you ever changed your mind.”
She leaned up on one elbow to swat his chest. In the soft light from the lamp next to the bed, his skin gleamed gold and little droplets of perspiration still clung to his muscles. His very sexy muscles.
“You, me and your ex. Now there’s a recipe for disaster.” She wanted to clarify exactly how “ex” Nina was but now wasn’t the time. He’d said he was single, hadn’t he? Besides, she wasn’t clingy or possessive. Especially when he was naked and lying underneath her with an honest-to-god half-smile on his face. “I’ll pass.”
“Not into girls?”
“My interests lie elsewhere.” Demonstrating, she palmed his balls and licked the tip of his cock. Since his cock had already been very well-used, he managed only a feeble groan. She lifted her head and grinned. “Couldn’t you tell?”
“Good thing.” He trailed his hand up her back and cupped her shoulder, warming her from neck to wrist. Of course she was already pretty damn warm from their post-club workout. Thank God for his A/C, because their workout would’ve landed them in intensive care otherwise. “I’m not up for sharing your beautiful nether regions.”
That made her laugh. “If you aren’t into sharing, what’s your deal with Kink?”
That shifty expression came into his eyes. Talking in anything more than grunts closed him down quick. “I like to watch,” he said finally. “Sometimes participate, but mostly just observe.”
She propped her forearm on his rock-hard stomach and pursed her lips. “I didn’t expect to like it. But I can see how it can enhance things. Occasionally.”
“It helps you not to think. I think way too much.”
“No shit, Sherlock.”
“Occupational hazard.” The heaviness in his eyes disturbed her, but she knew pushing him wouldn’t get her anywhere. He only knew one way to communicate, and it sure wasn’t verbally.
Better to turn the spotlight back on her.
“Not thinking does have an appeal. I definitely never thought I’d be draped open for a whole room to see like I was tonight.” She caught herself about to yawn and forced her eyes wide open, hoping he didn’t notice. She didn’t want to go home yet and she definitely didn’t want him to head down to the couch again. “I could’ve had a threesome once,” she added. “An actual threesome. Not like tonight.” What had occurred tonight she couldn’t classify. Nor would she try.
“And?”
“Not my thing.”
“You didn’t like two men’s attention focused solely on you? I thought most women got off on that.”
“It was too hard to keep up with whose hand was where. I couldn’t relax. I ended up sending both guys home before they’d even gotten their pants off.” She shrugged and fought another yawn. “Guess I’m too boringly traditional.”
“Mmm-hmm. Nice diversionary tactic, but I saw that yawn. Both of them.” He traced a fingertip around her mouth. “Late nights for you.”
“Yeah.” She hated that her eyelids were starting to droop. Maybe it made her sappy or stupid, but she liked being here with him. She’d even grown kind of fond of his long, thoughtful silences.
“You’re like my brother. He’s always up with the birds. Me, if I had my way, I’d sleep ’til noon.”
Surprised by the conversational crack he’d opened, she cocked her head. “What’s your brother like?”
“Crazy.” He laughed and shook his head. “The guy’s off the wall. He was a jock and still thinks he’s the hottest thing going. He made a ton of money in real estate down in the Keys with my parents so now he’s semiretired. His current occupation is sleeping his way through the female population of Florida.”
“Semiretired? How old is he?”
“Thirty-one.” Spencer’s lips twisted wryly. “As nuts as he is, he invests like a fiend. Guy’s set forever. So he’s wasting his life sailing around on his sailboat and partying like he’s still in college.”
“You’re close,” she said and he nodded.
“Yeah. We are. Complete opposites in a lot of ways, but Adam makes me laugh. Christ, he could make anyone laugh. It’s impossible to stay in a bad mood around him.”
“Is he single?” Kelly asked, grinning when he tugged on her hair. “Just checking.”
“Funny.”
