“Do what?” I frown.
“Make you feel better.” Marcus saunters closer. “That’s what we’re all about, baby girl.”
My belly flips. “You already have.”
“Would you rather spend the rest of the night alone?” Josh asks.
“No.” Besides, where would they go? My room is still a choking chemical cloud, and the downstairs areas will soon be closing up for the day. Not only that, the orgasm ratio is me two, the guys none. I hate to leave them hanging, especially when I still want them so badly. “I’ll stay.”
“If we do, we’re going to get naked and put you between us,” Marcus tells me.
My pulse leaps. My womb clenches. After being at the bottom of Derrick’s to-do list for the last few months before our separation, it’s so heady to be wanted by not one, but two gorgeous men who seem fixated on my sexual bliss.
“I want that.”
Josh spears me with a glance. “You’re sure?”
I don’t hesitate. “Yes.” Even the suggestion that they would both wrap their arms around me, sandwich me between them, and lavish me with their touches has my body tightening again. “But it’s only fair to tell you…I’ve never had sex with anyone except Derrick.”
Marcus and Josh exchange a glance I don’t understand, but their intensity is unmistakable. Then Josh takes my hand. “We’d love to change that and give you everything he didn’t.”
My heart leaps. I turn my gaze on Marcus. He doesn’t speak, simply sends me the filthiest smile I’ve ever seen.
“What about the fact we work together?” I ask. I have to.
“Will you do your job any differently because we’ve fucked you?”
I’d be insulted if I didn’t think Marcus was proving a point. “Of course not. I owe Savannah and Force Financial—and even this land—my all. One has nothing to do with the other.”
“Exactly.” Josh nods. “Let’s agree that, by day, we’ll devote ourselves to this project.”
“But by night, you belong to us,” Marcus growls. “You’ll lay yourself across our bed and surrender every part of your body to Josh and me.”
They’re not just talking about tonight; they’re proposing a fling. Despite my foolishly growing attachment to them, what they’re suggesting makes sense. They’re looking for fun in paradise, and I need to move on once and for all from Derrick. If I know in advance that our involvement has an expiration date, I won’t fall in love, right?
“Baby girl?” Marcus prods.
“We need to hear you say yes before this goes any further,” Josh insists.
I understand. But what more is there to think about? My body has already decided for me.
“Yes.”
CHAPTER FIVE
Josh
When Kate whispers her consent, I jolt with a burning thrill. I’m not usually one for savagery; I leave that to Marcus. But every determined, possessive part of me jumps at the chance to claim her.
Beside the bed, my best friend’s stare penetrates her, as if he’s scrutinizing the reason for her quick acceptance. I hope like hell he’s wondering the same thing I am. Is there any chance this could be for real? That she could be it for us? It’s too early to know, and we can’t rush her. But I still believe the three of us could last.
I doubt Kate is ready to hear that. Marcus isn’t ready to believe it. I’ll have to go slow, play this right.
If things go the way I expect, love will make us undeniable.
“What do you want?” Marcus suddenly snaps at me, jaw clenched.
It’s like we haven’t skipped a single day of sharing a woman. He’s deferring to me because he wrung the last orgasm from her. He’s acknowledging it’s my turn to choose how to pleasure her. I’ve had less than a minute to make decisions, but my dirty thoughts have been tumbling for days.
