Pleasure rose to a fevered pitch. She stiffened her legs as she neared the precipice. Tides of ecstasy flooded her body as she fell over the edge into hot oblivion. She squeezed her eyes shut for a moment then opened them to Rudy’s handsome grin.
He continued his blissful assault, sliding his fingers in and out of her, knowing just how to please her, as if he felt everything she did. As the waves of pleasure ebbed, she leaned against Pete for support and tried to catch her breath.
She didn’t care that they were seeing her nearly nude. They didn’t seem to be bothered by her body. Quite the contrary. The very notion empowered her. Under their hungry gazes she felt beautiful. Feminine and desirable. But did she have the courage to realize all her fantasies?
Pete finally let go of her. He moved around her so she could see his face, the longing in his stare. Tangling his fingers through her hair, he pulled her close for a blistering kiss. “Damn, that was sexy. You’re sexy.”
Rudy stood up and took her hand, his eyes glinting with the promise of so much more ahead. He grabbed the belt with his free hand and tipped his chin toward the hallway. “Let’s go to the bedroom and really get this party started.” He captured her gaze. “Ready?”
She gulped.
Chapter Four
She sank onto the couch, grabbed her discarded blouse and started to put it on. The guys exchanged a worried glance.
Rudy sat beside her and lifted her chin so she had to look at him. “You okay, sweetheart?”
“Yeah, sure. I’m just…” Just what? Scared? Intimidated by what they were about to do.
What we’ve already started.
Pete smoothed her hair back from her face. “I meant what I said. If you want to quit this now, that’s okay. Not that we won’t be disappointed, but we’ll understand.”
“Of course,” Rudy added. “No pressure.”
God, they were so sweet. She loved them both dearly. “I guess I’m still afraid everything will change after this.”
Pete chuckled. “Oh, it’ll all change all right. We’ll be way more than we ever were before. A lot closer.”
Rudy nodded his agreement. “You know we’d never hurt you, Em. We love you.”
Tears came out of nowhere.
Rudy pulled her into his arms. “What is it?”
“I have no idea,” she whispered against his shoulder. “I really do want this.”
Then Pete was there too, rubbing her back, soothing whatever was bothering her. “Tell us what we can do to help.”
Rudy wiped away the tears from her cheeks. “We can put our clothes back on and forget this ever happened.”
“No!” Her gut response took her by surprise. “I–I don’t want to stop.”
“Then what is it?” Pete asked.
She clenched her teeth, grasping for control of her emotions. This was the chance of a lifetime, damn it. Two gorgeous men attending to her every sexual whim. What was wrong with her? She sighed. “I’ve gained some weight since college, obviously. I thought it wasn’t bothering me, but I guess I just don’t feel very attractive.”
“Are you serious?” Rudy’s stare was sober and honest. “You’re one of the hottest women I’ve ever met. You’re just more…womanly now. Frankly, I think it looks great on you.”
“So do I. If that’s what’s holding you back, well, it’s all in your head.” Pete massaged her neck. “A few pounds doesn’t change how beautiful you are. And it doesn’t make me want you any less. Can’t you see what you do to me? To both of us?”
She looked up at him and his wink gave her the extra shot of confidence she needed. “Really?”
He rolled his eyes. “The moment I laid eyes on you in the bar I was like, whoa. She’s even hotter than she was in college. You can think yourself in circles and find a hundred reasons why you shouldn’t do this. But if you dig deep, you’ll realize this is something you want or we wouldn’t have ended up here.”
His words breathed fresh excitement into her. He was right. She tended to overthink everything. If she was completely honest with herself, this was something she’d been longing to do for years. And who better, who could she trust with this fantasy more than her two dear friends?
“What do you want to do?” Rudy skimmed a finger over her mouth then followed with his lips.
The soft kiss woke the molten lust simmering just below the surface. “I want to see your bedroom.” She squared her shoulders, got up and took the belt from Rudy. “Come on, boys. I’m all better now.” She didn’t have to tell them twice.
Rudy led the way to the master bedroom, which was pure Rudy. The walls were painted a muted mossy green and the windows and king-size four-poster bed were covered in crimson-and-green patterned fabric. For a rough and tough manly guy, he had great decorating taste. He’d helped her pick out the decor for the apartment she rented her senior year at college.
Glass sliding doors opened into a small screened patio with lush foliage and a hot tub.
Pete gestured to the yard. “Anybody want to get in? Might relax you, Em.”
Rudy flipped a switch and lights came on, illuminating the outside in a splash of color. “It’s small, but I don’t mind getting cozy.”
Both men waited for her answer.
“Why not?”
Rudy strode through then lifted the cover off the tub. “Towels are over there.” He motioned to a wicker shelving unit in the corner.
The guys climbed into the water, naked and hot.
Knowing that soon they were going to double-team her sent a shiver of excitement up her spine. She sat on the edge of the tub wearing only her black lace bra and panties.
Pete offered her a hand in. She let him help her climb inside then she slipped under the water to her chin. The heat and bubbles conspired to relax her even more than the alcohol had. “This feels great.”
Rudy pulled her in front of him so she was sitting with her back to him, between his legs. He wrapped his arm around her to hold her close. “This is nice, huh?” He nuzzled her neck and glided his hand up to cup her breast. Then he rolled her pebbled point between his fingers.
Inside a heartbeat, her libido roared higher. She leaned her head back on his shoulder and he started rubbing her between her legs. Then Pete was there, kissing her mouth and massaging her other breast.
God, she’d never experienced so much delight all at once. Swamped in lust, she gave in to her carnal needs and felt another orgasm rising inside her. Her world shrank to the hot tub and the men inside it. She whimpered with helpless abandon.
She could practically taste her climax when Rudy stopped what he was doing. “Not yet, sweetheart.”
No! “What? You can’t stop now.”
But he merely laughed. Pete lifted himself to the ledge then swung his legs over the side and grabbed towels. “Let’s go inside.”
Aching with longing, she had no choice but to wrap herself in a towel and follow them inside. “Why’d you do that?”
“Maybe we want to tease you a little more.” Rudy turned the lights low, which went a long way to make her more comfortable in her state of nearly nude. The guys discarded their towels then Rudy sat on the edge of the bed. “Come here.” He patted the mattress.
Swallowing hard, she closed the distance between them and he took away her towel. “Do you trust me?”
“Yes.”
His wicked grin set her on fire. Pete came up behind her and started fiddling with the hooks on the back of her bra. Then he peeled the wet garment off her and hung it over a chair.
