He wanted to put that look on Tawny’s face every day when she looked at him and Liam. Once Zach went downstairs, Alex picked up the cards and the wine glasses, while Liam tossed the empty beer bottles in the trash.
“Should we just come out and ask her if she’s willing to give us a try?”Alex telepathed Liam.
“Why not? We’ll need to find out sooner or later,”he shot back.
“Men, I know that look. What are you two conspiring?”
Alex sat down next to Tawny. “Liam told you that the two of you are mates, right?” She nodded. “In case you didn’t figure it out, so are we.”
She pressed her lips together. “I feel this incredible pull to both of you.”
His pulse rose. That sounded like she would be willing to be with both of them. “Are you willing to see if the three of us are good together? Please say yes. We can go one at a time, or whatever makes you feel comfortable.”
Liam was in the chair across from her. “We want you in our lives, Tawny, but we don’t want to rush you.”
She blew out a breath. “I love the idea. Then I don’t have to choose between you two.”
Elation slammed into Alex. He shoved his chair back so fast, it toppled, and Tawny laughed.
“Ready?” he asked.
“As I’ll ever be, but I get to torture you guys first.”
She could have asked that he dance the jig, and he would have, not that he knew what it even looked like. To please her, he sure as hell would have tried. “Anything.”
Before she changed her mind, Alex clasped her hand and led her to her bedroom. Liam followed right behind them. Unfortunately, her room wasn’t all that romantic.Damn. He should have set out some candles or something.
Alex walked her over to the bed. Once she sat down, he clicked on the lamp on the nightstand and then motioned for Liam to turn off the overhead light. When he did, the room was more conducive to their first experience together.
Alex kicked off his boots and then tore off his socks. Wanting Tawny’s hands on him, he walked up to her. “I’m all yours.”
“Ahem,” Liam said. “I thought this was about the three of us.”
That made Tawny grin. “Come over here then but take off your shoes first.”
Liam did as she asked and stood next to Alex. She sucked in a breath. “This is going to be harder than I thought. Who do I start with?”
“We can both strip at the same time if you like?” Alex said.
“Not on your life.” Tawny stood and motioned both men to move back. “Close your eyes,” she said.
“What is she up to?”Liam telepathed.
“Whatever it is, I’m going to enjoy it.”
When he did as she asked, Tawny tugged Alex’s shirt out of his jeans and then slipped her hands under the material. Just having her fingers on his skin turned his cock harder than steel. As much as he wanted to toss her on the bed and ravish that sweet mouth of hers, he would let her take this seduction at her pace. The last thing either of them needed was to make her uncomfortable.
“My what big muscles you have,” she said with way too much joy. Clearly, she understood the effect she was having on him. He swore she’d purposefully splashed on perfume that was meant to drive a man crazy.
“Need help?” Alex asked. “I can ditch my jeans.”
“Be patient. I want to enjoy every second of this.”
He was tempted to open his eyes, but he wouldn’t. “Touch away.”
As slowly as she could, she lifted his shirt up and over his head. From the slight noise, she’d let it drop to the hardwood floor. What he hadn’t expected was for her to lick one of his nipples and grab his crotch.
Hair sprouted, and his nails and his teeth extended.
