“Thank you for that. ‘Hot sexy mama’ are not words I thought I’d ever hear about me.” She sighed and let her arms float. “However, it wasn’t the reality of being naked with you that prompted that comment.”
Paying attention, Ian had noticed Alice paying attention. And then he knew. “You’re looking at this experience right now through the lens of a businesswoman, aren’t you? One who’s exploring a venue with an eye to catering to the traveling female tourist.” That realization gave Ian more than a smile and a sense of happy. It pleased him deep down to his bones. One thing he and Ken had both hoped for was that Alice would not only fall in love with them but with their business as well.
“I am. If the goal here in promoting not just the zip-lining but also the accommodation is to pair heart-pounding excitement with quiet, after-adventure intimacy, then struggling with a wet bathing suit would only detract from that mood. At least in my opinion.” Then she frowned and looked over at where he and Ken had dropped their trunks without getting them wet.
“Will you guys have a challenge shimmying into the speedos when it’s time to walk back to the treehouse?”
“Naw,” Ken said. “We’ll just wrap towels around our hips and carry them, instead.”
“And hope a gust of wind doesn’t come along and give us all a thrill?”
Alice’s quip delighted them both. When they’d stopped chuckling, he picked up her hand and kissed it. “Seeing my cock out in the open above a spring-fed creek would be a thrill, would it?”
Her cheeks colored slightly. “Oh, yes. And that goes for you, too.” She directed that comment at Ken. “In case you two didn’t know it—and really I think the odds on that are long and thick—you’ve both been blessed by the cock fairy.”
“Well, aren’t you a punny woman today?” Ken kissed her other hand. “I should pretend to be all modest and say something like, ‘gosh, darlin’, it’s just what my daddy gave me,’ but I’ll be honest. Knowing you like my cock makes me hard.”
“What he said.” Ian kissed her hand again and then rubbed his kiss in with his thumb.
“Knowing I’m making you both hard is getting me wet.”
“We’re looking forward to having you between us tonight,” Ken said.
He saw Alice’s frown and knew exactly where her thoughts had strayed. “We are. And while we’re both all for your right to choose the time and the moment and our relative positions, I’d rather we wait until later, when we’re absolutely private.” He nodded toward their treehouse, just visible out the window before them. “Someone might wander by, and I’d rather not have them watch us like…” Words failed him.
Alice’s grin looked full of mischief. “Like live porn?” She looked around the room they were in, and then she looked out the window. “I’m guessing that it’s difficult to see into here, especially during the day?”
“I’ve been assured that it is,” Ian said. “But still.”
“Good. I’m really not much of a risk-taker that way, either, and for the same reason. I want to enjoy anything and everything the three of us can come up with when it comes to making love. But privately. This is about as risqué as I want to be.”
“Good. I’m sorry if we popped the horny bubble.”
“It’s not popped, just set in the corner for a bit. Do you know what I’d like to do when we’re done here? I think we should make some notes and list any questions we might have about this place. Get the business part of our program handled and out of the way.”
“Do you see how perfect you are for us?” Ken asked.
Her sigh, and the look in Alice’s eyes, told Ian everything he needed to know for right then.
Alice Kendall might not be all the way in love with them the way they already were with her. But she definitely wanted to continue to explore this relationship dynamic, and them.
That was good, and it was good enough. For right now, anyway.
Chapter Ten
Alice’s taste buds savored the rest of her morning coffee as she stood on the small balcony overlooking the creek. Her gaze savored the scene she would soon leave behind. She’d enjoyed everything about this short adventure. Even going down that zip-line—three times—had been a fun-filled, memorable experience. As in most things, Alice had felt torn when they’d left Lusty for here. One part of her loved challenging herself while the other part of her liked routine and total safety and security.
With Ian and Ken, both sides of my soul are being fed at the same time.
When Ian’s arms slipped around her from behind and Ken came up beside her then turned and leaned against the railing to face her, Alice knew she was, just that simply, in the best place, ever. She’d seriously never known she could be so happy.
“Taking in one last view?” Ian’s words were asked softly against her ear. Then he placed a soft kiss there, and she shivered. Just that simple touch and being able to inhale both men at the same time made her horny as hell—despite the wonderful sex they’d indulged in the night before and upon awakening that morning.
“Yeah,” she sighed. “On a personal note, this was an amazing experience. I’ve loved everything about our time here. From a business point of view? This is a really good venue. It might be more suited to those with a spirit of adventure. Although I see no reason why staying in the treehouse has to be preceded by a zip-line ride.” She looked over her shoulder at Ian then returned her gaze to Ken. “Avid readers would love the privacy, the solitude, and the handy coffee maker.”
“It is a good venue,” Ken said. “Thanks for that insight, too, about avid readers.”
“You’re welcome. I knew a couple once, both voracious readers, who said their best-ever weekend away was at a
