She’d just agreed to let both men make love to her at the same time.
Not just agreed to it, suggested it.
Was this what her best friend, Phoebe, meant when she’d declared Sami lived her life purely on impulse?
Cause holy fuck, what she’d just proposed was the epitome of impulsive.
“If I beat you,” Eli went on, stalking toward where she stood—numb and on fire all at once, “I get to decide what you have to do as the loser. If you beat me, Rutledge and I get to…” His gaze raked over her once more, a linger caress that made her want to rub her thighs together. “Be your sexual slaves.”
Sami barely bit back her whimper at the term.
At her side, Jay let out a strangled sound of carnal desire that flooded her sex with fresh impatience.
Stopping directly in front of where she stood on shaky knees, Eli drew his face closer to hers. “You do realize no matter the outcome, I’m the winner in this, yes?”
Recover, woman. Recover. Reclaim the power. Don’t let him—
“You do realize,” she choked out, meeting his stare even as she struggled to breathe, “before any fucking takes place between the three of us, you will make a public statement that female motocross riders are just as good as male riders and apologize for saying they aren’t? I beat you; you apologize. That’s the whole reason for this…this…”
A crooked smile tugged at Eli’s lips. “This situation you find yourself in? I do realize that, but do you really think you’re going to beat me?”
That nervous sensation in Sami’s tummy flared up again. She recognized it for what it was—anticipation-fueled adrenaline. The high of pushing the boundaries. The crave for more than just the humdrum of a safe existence.
“I do,” she answered. “And you’re going to apologize. And I will be standing right there beside you, for the whole world to see. Do you understand?”
A darkness flickered in Eli’s eyes. There and gone just as quick. “I do. And I still agree to the bet.”
Sami’s heart slammed harder in her throat.
Out of control. This was all so…out of control.
Was that why she felt more freaking alive than ever?
