ChapterSixteen
It took a moment for the words to penetrate. Then Beth’s eyes popped open, and three sets of fiercely intense eyes gazed back at her.
Was this a dream?
Mitch’s distinctive amber eyes crinkled at the corners, taking on that familiar aura of fun she’d been drawn to when they first met.
“This is no dream,” he chuckled. “If you agree, it’s going to be the best damn reality for all four of us.”
Beth stared, her mouth falling open to form a small ‘o’.
She’d really got to stop whispering her thoughts out loud like that!
“So, what do you say, Bethy?” Jed pressed, his blue eyes darkening with desire. “I know you don’t know us well, but you have at least met all three of us before now. And if you’re not comfortable diving right in, then we can set up a specific date and work on reassuring you prior to that.”
Beth’s mind was whirling. She’d felt an attraction and a connection to each of these men before this ever became a reality. They had all impressed her with their care and attention, so there were no issues with regard to trust, or even chemistry.
In fact, her panties were damp just from the thought. Okay, so they had already been wet because of the spanking, but now they were soaked.
Embarrassingly so.
And, hell, she’d been up for scening with three guys she’d never even had the chance to speak to, and they’d turned out to be douchebags, so she’d be the worst kind of hypocrite if she behaved any differently with Sawyer, Mitch, and Jed.
Wait! What was wrong with her? Why was she trying to justify herself? She was completely on board with this scenario. The surprise must have short circuited her brain.
“I think Mitch is right, and it would indeed be a damn fine reality,” she replied with a grin. “And I have no problem jumping straight in, although I would like you to review my limits list first.”
She had just enough sense left to make that call, even though her body wanted to dive straight into the main event.
“Already done,” Sawyer reassured her. “When we offered to put your details through our app to try and make things up to you, Greg gave us your details.”
Jed nodded, a lock of his fair hair falling into his eyes. “But one look at them and it was like we’d found our kinky soulmate.”
Beth knew they didn’t mean it in any other way but kink compatibility, but the words made her tingle all the same. She could do far worse than these three gorgeous, thoughtful guys, but she doubted she could do much better.
Not unless Ryan Reynolds, Henry Cavill, and Zack Efron walked through the door right now and wanted a foursome. And she didn’t think there was much chance of that. Besides, these guys bore a passing resemblance. And they were right here in front of her, and up for it.
Her blood started to fizz in her veins and suddenly she wanted nothing more than to get this show started.
She took a deep breath. “Is there anything I need to know about you three?” she asked. “Or anything that wasn’t covered on my information sheet?”
“We’re all happy, if you are.” Mitch replied for the three of them.
Beth nodded. “Okay then.”
Oh God! It was really happening. Her stomach was spiraling and plummeting like she was on a rollercoaster. And when Jed pushed her legs off his knee, so they could all get up she wasn’t sure they were going to support her.
Thankfully, gentlemen that they were, they helped her up and coddled her. Mitch and Jed flanking her on either side with their arms wrapped around her waist, while Sawyer passed her purse to her and headed to open the door.
“Um… we could stay here if you like,” Beth offered tentatively, casting her eyes towards the massive bed in the other room. Selfishly, she wanted them all to herself. She wanted to take her time and enjoy them. It was already approaching midnight and the club liked all scenes to wind down before 1.30am, so there was at least thirty minutes for aftercare before it closed. And she wanted the opportunity to keep them, to snuggle up in that huge bed, built for six, and have it feel like it wasn’t so achingly empty.
That was the biggest issue with sleeping in it alone; the vast expanse sometimes seemed even more lonely.
Sawyer turned to look at her, and Mitch pressed a sweet, but far too innocent, kiss to her cheek.
“That’s a lovely offer, Bethy,” Sawyer replied, his dark eyes boring into her. “But you don’t know us well enough for that yet. We’ve got a room reserved at the club where you’ll have the benefit of a dungeon monitor for your peace of mind.”
Her feelings were conflicted. One the one hand she was disappointed, but on the other their clear concern for her welfare, and the fact they were putting her first, made her heart turn over in her chest. She couldn’t remember the last time anyone had offered her so much care. It affected her more than she wanted to admit.
