Alex shook her head. “No,” she insisted. “No, you haven’t been—”
“We have,” Jake said, cutting her off gently, “but we’re going to do better.”
“Today was better,” she said and leaned across the table to brush a kiss to Jake’s mouth. Then, she did the same to me. It was short and sweet and perfect, and all of the want that I had smashed down from before came roaring back.I do not want to get hard in another man’s pants, I thought, and that helped stem the desire being stoked in my belly. Alex stared at both of us, teeth set into her lower lip. “Do you think...?” She shook her head, blushing a deep red. “Never mind.”
She wanted us. It was written all over her face, in the way she hunched around herself. “What do you want, sweetheart?” I asked gently. “You know you only have to ask.”
Alex shook her head. “This might be too far,” she said softly. “You’ve both been so great to me all day, and I don’t want to make you uncomfortable in any way.”
“Tell us,” Jake said, a hint of a command in his tone, “and we can tell you if it’s too much.”
I wasn’t sure whether she was actually going to say it. Her gaze had dropped to her hands, and she twisted her fingers together, fidgeting. “I want you both to make love to me,” she said softly. It was almost too low to be heard. “But I don’t know how to make that work.”
Neither Jake nor I was surprised by the statement, but there was a moment of concern over how it would work. Jake looked at me with a question on his face, and I shrugged. “Let us figure that out,” I said to Alex. “We just want you to feel good.”
As a unit, we stood and led her back upstairs. Jake opened a door to his guest room, and for that, I was grateful. As soon as we were in the room, our focus zeroed in on Alex. I pulled her into a kiss, and Jake pressed against her back, lips against her neck. It should have felt strange for another man to be on the other side of her, but when Alex gasped into my mouth at the combination of our lips on her, everything clicked into place. This was okay—good, even—because it was about Alex. It wasn’t about me or him. We were there to make sure our girl had the best time of her life. We were teammates with a goal.
His hands went to the sweatpants that were hanging from her hips. Mine went for the bottom of her shirt. Together, we stripped her, and Jake groaned when he saw that she wasn’t wearing anything underneath. “Fuck, I need to be inside this pussy,” Jake said as he stood and pasted himself against her back.
Alex wrenched her mouth from mine. “Do it,” she whined. “Please.” Her hands came up and cupped my face. “I want you in my mouth.” She said it with a lot more confidence than I knew she actually felt, but I loved that she was opening up more to us.
“You can have anything you want, sweetheart,” I assured her.
“Anything,” Jake echoed.
We maneuvered over to the bed, and Alex positioned herself on her hands and knees.Holy fucking shit. My brain short-circuited at the sight. When I had her in a similar position before, we had been partially clothed, which had been hot, but seeing her like this naked was an absolute treat.
“You look perfect,” I crooned and stood in front of her. Alex grasped my hips and reeled me in, mouthing at my abs and my hips before finally sinking her mouth down over me. Her mouth was hot and perfect. My stomach went tight. “Shit,” I grunted and put my hand on her head, not forcing, just twining my fingers into her still-damp hair.
I could tell when Jake sank home because she moaned around me. The vibrations forced a sound from my throat. There was a moment where we all took a collective breath, and then Jake thrust against her, which bobbed her against me. Alex practically sang between us, pushing back against Jake’s movements as she pulled me further into her mouth.
This was supposed to be about her, but I could feel my balls drawing closer to my body as electricity started sparking up my spine. Before I could careen over the edge, I drew myself from her mouth. She whined, and I brushed her cheek with my thumb. “Sorry, sweetheart,” I said. “I’m trying not to be selfish here.”
She glared at me. “Be. Selfish,” she said, gasping as Jake continued to thrust his hips into hers. Alex grabbed me by the hips again and drew me back into her mouth, and as much as I wanted to be strong, I let her swallow me down again. How the hell was I meant to turn her down? At least I wasn’t on such a hairpin trigger anymore. Jake picked up the pace of his hips, and Alex let out a high-pitched, keening sound.
We all moved together, breath coming out in pants, and before long, Alex fell apart between us, calling out her pleasure around my cock. She bobbed her head, sucking harder, and pleasure roared through me. “Alex,” I sighed.
She fell against me, and Jake paused in his movement for us to readjust slightly so that she was laid in my lap. When Jake slipped back between her thighs, I plucked at her hardened nipples with my fingers, drawing gasps and sighs from her. When those sighs deepened into moans, I slid my hand down her body and found her clit with the pads of my fingers. “Come for us,” I coaxed, circling her.
Alex cried out as she came again, and this time, Jake fell apart too. He groaned and collapsed against her, breathing raggedly. While they relearned how to breathe, I watched them look at one another. It was intimate, and maybe I should have looked away, but I was fascinated by the emotions that jumped between them. They cared for one another... and that was a beautiful thing.
Then, her warm eyes turned to me, and I was a part of that special look. For the first time since this all started, I completely understood why it had to be this way.

ALEX
My phone buzzed again, and I blushed when my study group hooted. “I amsosorry,” I said for the umpteenth time as I picked up my cell. Each of my men had been sending messages all morning, and before I joined my study group, it wasn’t a big deal. Now, though, it was getting annoying.
JAKE: When are you done, baby?
ALEX: In a couple of hours. I need to focus.
JAKE: Can I meet you at your house after? Dinner date?
ALEX: Sure, just let me study, and then I’m all yours!
I put my phone face down and turned back to my textbook. Amy, a girl I’d met in my torts class, nudged my arm. “New boyfriend?” she asked.
