It was only when she didn’t think she could take any more that Sadie tried to pull away from Paul’s greedy mouth. “Stop. Fuck, please stop.”
A small part of Sadie was thrilled to see Paul shaking as he emerged from beneath her skirt. He slowly got to his feet and leaned his weight against the wall, covering her body with his. She could smell herself on his mouth and found herself reaching up to touch his lips.
He sucked on her fingertip, caressing the nail with his tongue. “I want to kiss you. Properly.”
Sadie nodded and moved her hand to cup his cheek. “Yes.”
With his gaze bouncing between her lips and her eyes, Paul moved in close until she couldn’t keep her eyes open any longer. He was surprisingly gentle as he brushed his lips against hers. The scent of her come on his lips was erotic, daring her for a taste of what Paul had experienced.
Slowly, she increased the contact between them, parting her lips when he licked at them. He tasted of come and alcohol and she found herself wanting more.
“Now isn’t that a wonderful sight.”
Paul broke the kiss but instead of pulling away completely, he rested his forehead on Sadie’s. “About time, Josh.”
“I figured you two needed a little getting-to-know-you space before I interrupted. Seems like I was right.” Josh stepped behind Paul and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Sadie’s legs threatened to buckle as Josh leaned forward and kissed her cheek, much as he had earlier. “I am glad you’ve invited me along. If for no other reason than to watch the two of you. You’re gorgeous together.”
Sadie wasn’t sure what to expect now that the three of them were in the room. Her stomach churned and her hands trembled as she slid one down Paul’s chest to stop above his heart. The nervous giggle that popped from her had Paul frown and Josh smirk.
“I have no idea what I’m doing.” Her confession wasn’t much of a surprise to anyone.
“But we do.” Josh pulled back on Paul’s shoulder, giving himself room to pull Sadie free from the wall. “And our boy is a bit too horny to think straight right now. I’ll play host for a minute until his brain kicks in.”
It was odd how she hadn’t even noticed the surroundings of the room before then. Josh led her over to a small bar and offered her a drink. “I don’t normally have alcohol in the rooms. Too many people would cross the line. But this is my own special place. Perks of being the owner.”
Sadie accepted the glass of wine from Josh and turned to catalogue the details of the room. There was a king-size bed along one of the back walls, covered in black sheets. The copious amount of pillows seemed unnecessary until her mind started to go through the number of possible uses.
The dark blue walls and pot lights gave the entire place a cool and secluded feel. There were rings at various heights around the room, though none of them currently housed any chains. Sadie assumed that’s what they were for. Though she hadn’t a clue if Josh was the one doing the tying up, or enjoyed being tied up himself.
And Paul had known the security code to the room.
Sadie took a large gulp of the wine, letting the rich liquid burn the top of her windpipe and making her cough. When both men moved to come her way, she held up a hand to stop them. “I’m fine. I drank it too fast.”
“Sadie,” Paul said, taking another step closer. “If you’ve changed your mind about this we can stop. I don’t want you to feel pressured to do something you’re not comfortable with.”
“I haven’t.” She took a breath and made sure to keep her gaze on Paul. “I feel like a little girl playing with the big kids. You all know the rules and I’m still trying to figure out what the game is.”
He was handsome, but there was so much more to Paul than his looks. His humor and inherent need to care for people were only a few of the qualities that had drawn her to him all those years ago. While Josh was gorgeous and she could tell he was a good man, Sadie didn’t feel the same attraction to him. Maybe it had more to do with familiarity, but she was starting to think it was more than that. She and Paul simply worked.
Sadie knew she could walk out that door and Paul wouldn’t think any less of her. He’d most likely show up at the coffee shop in the morning, maybe ask her out, and they could see where this thing would lead them. She knew that and yet she wasn’t willing to walk away from this chance to do something different.
She wanted to be daring. She wanted to be the center of the universe for once in her life.
At some point, Josh had made his way behind her. His breath was warm on her shoulder as his hands circled her waist.
“It’s okay to not know the rules, or even the game for that matter.” Josh’s voice was smooth where Paul’s had been rough. “The only thing you need to be concerned with is giving in to what you want.”
Nodding, she finished the rest of her wine. The warm burn in the pit of her stomach would soon spread through her body, softening her reservations. “I know what I want.”
Paul lowered his chin, his gaze narrowing on her, but he held his tongue. Josh freed her of the glass, setting it on the floor, and crowded in behind her.
“Knowing what you want is only part of it. Paul knows what he wants too, but he isn’t taking it. He’s waiting. What do you think he’s waiting for?”
“Me.” But she couldn’t understand why.
“That’s right.” Josh pulled her hips back, moving her ass until it came in contact with his cock. “He wants you and you want him.”
Paul’s gaze shifted up and she knew he was speaking to Josh. “What do you want?”
The chuckle against her ear was more of a turn-on than Sadie would have realized. Josh licked the shell of her ear and bucked his hips forward.
“I want you both.”
Paul’s hands twitched at his sides and Sadie couldn’t be sure if he was nervous or anxious. He took a step forward, but Sadie was surprised when Josh pulled her back, moving them both away from Paul.
“What the fuck?” Paul tried again, only to be met with the same result.
“Stay.” The teasing tone had Sadie wishing she could see Josh’s face. “She said she doesn’t know the rules of the game.”
“Josh—”
“No, this is her game and her rules. It’s only fair.” She could tell the teasing was turning Josh on as much as it frustrated Paul. “Stay there until Sadie tells you what to do.”
Turning her head as best she could, she tried to catch a glimpse of Josh. “I don’t understand.”
“He wants you badly enough he’ll do anything you want. It’s simple. What do you want him to do?”
She’d already had more of Paul than she ever imagined. But it was only a taste, a sample of what she wanted. She reached back and moved her hands to hold onto Josh. “I want him to take his shirt off.”
“Don’t tell me.” He nodded toward Paul. “Like the game.”
Sadie licked her lips and ignored the way her chest tightened. She wasn’t sure if she had it in her to participate in a threesome. Fuck, she didn’t know if she had any talent when it came to the whole sex thing.
But a game? That she could do.
“Paul, I want you to unbutton your shirt.”
He went to lift his hands but suddenly stopped and they fell back to his sides. “Sadie, may I?”
She could feel Josh’s smile against her neck. “See, he’s a smart boy too.”
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.
“Yes, you may.”
This time Paul didn’t stop. One by one he slipped the buttons free from their holes, slowly exposing his chest. Sadie couldn’t remember the last time she’d seen him without a shirt. Maybe a few summers ago when they’d all gone to Mia’s cottage.
That was different, casual—a lifetime ago. Now his muscles were taut, like he was about to pounce, rip her away from Josh’s hold and fuck her in the middle of the room. The expression on his face was one she couldn’t remember seeing before—dark and hungry, directed at her.
Paul pulled his hands free from the shirt with a yank and tossed it aside. His nipples were hard in the cool air of the room, barely visible through the dusting of hair that covered his chest. When he squeezed his hands into fists, the muscles of his forearms tightened, pulling his pecs in an appealing ripple.
Sadie had forgotten how fit he was. How slim his waist and firm his stomach were. She’d never had the luxury to simply
look
at Paul. He’d always belonged to someone else.
“He’s an attractive man. The women around the club always have their eye on our boy here. Though he hasn’t played with anyone in a long time. Have you Paul?”
The muscles in Paul’s jaw tightened. “No. I haven’t.”
“He’s left me alone to fend for myself. I didn’t know why until he mentioned you.” Josh reached up to cup her breasts. “You can’t tell me that’s all you have in you, Sadie. I know you want to see more of Paul than a bare chest.”
Her pussy tingled from the attention her nipples were receiving through the material of the corset. Fuck, she wanted to get the damn thing off.
“Paul, I want you to take your boots off.”
He smirked. “Sadie, may I?”
“Yes, you may.”
The boots were pulled off and cast aside within a blink. Paul stripped off his socks, and Josh tweaked her nipples hard through the fabric. “He’s being naughty.”
“Stop!”
Paul froze at her command and frowned. “What?”
“I didn’t tell you to do that. You broke the rules.”
“You’ll have to give him a punishment now, Sadie. What should he do to make it up to you?”
Feeling her confidence rise, Sadie stepped away from Josh and stood in the space between the men. With a glance back at the man who’d been holding her, she was unsurprised to see the naked arousal on his face. Whether Josh was turned on by the situation in general, or watching his friend being toyed with, Sadie found it didn’t matter. What she did know was that she wanted Josh to be more than a mouthpiece for their evening.
“Paul, I want you to get on all fours in the middle of the floor.” She crossed her arms and stared at him. “Stay there until I say you can get up.”
“I think we’ve created a monster.” Josh chuckled.
Paul cocked his head, as if he were considering this new development. He must have approved of the change because in the next moment, he was getting into the mandated position.
Sadie wasn’t sure how best to do what she’d had in mind. With careful steps, she walked around him, smiling at the way he kept his head down and eyes on the floor. When she came around to his side, she turned and perched on his ass. For a second she wondered if he’d be able to handle her weight, but after a soft grunt and an adjustment on his part, Paul seemed to steady.
“Josh, would you mind taking my shoes off? They’re killing my feet.” Lifting a foot into the air, she made a small circle.
“As the lady wishes.”
It was odd, sitting on one man while another unclasped the strap of her stiletto. Josh removed the shoe, rubbing the soles of her feet with care and precision. The soothing circles were fantastic after having the fishnets pressed into her skin. Paul shifted and grunted softly under her weight. She knew he must be uncomfortable, but she was having too much fun to stop.
“It seems your stockings have met with a bit of an accident.” Josh ran a hand up the inside of her thigh and down to her knee. “It’s a shame.”
Sadie decided she liked the mischief in Josh’s eyes. “Yes, it is.”
When Josh finished with the second shoe and offered her a hand up, Sadie spun around once more to face Paul.
“Paul, I want you to take my ruined stockings off.”
She could see him fight the urge to jump up and follow her command. “Sadie, may I?”
“No, you may not. You were the one who ripped them in the first place. I don’t want you to do any more damage.”
“Perhaps I can offer some assistance?” Josh adjusted their position so that they stood in front of Paul. “If I have your permission, of course?”
Sadie pulled her skirt up, exposing more of her legs than was strictly necessary to do the job. “Please.”
Josh surprised her by dropping to his knees beside Paul. As he reached up beneath her skirt to grab the tops of the stockings, he leaned closer to Paul.
“It must be killing you being this close to her and not being able to touch. How long have you wanted to do this? Have Sadie in your bed to do whatever you wanted with?”
“Fuck off, Josh.”
“Not yet.” He turned his attention back to Sadie, lifting her left foot from the floor. “I can tell you were enjoying yourself with your face between her legs. I can still smell her pussy. I can smell her on you too.”
Smell her?
Sadie was creeping up to the edge of her comfort levels, though she had the feeling she would be more than happy to jump right over them if Josh and Paul kept doing what they were doing. Paul licked his lips, his gaze roaming up her body, pausing when it reached her breasts.
Leaning in, Josh pressed his nose to the juncture of her thigh and torso and breathed deep. Sadie fought to keep still, unused to a relative stranger touching her intimately.
“You were right about her being beautiful. I can’t believe you never made a move before now.”
Sadie shivered as he pulled the fishnets free, leaving her legs bare. When he didn’t get up, she took a step back and blinked down at him. “Paul thinks I’m beautiful?”
“Sadie, I—”
“Shut up, Paul. I was speaking to Josh.”
“He never told you?” Josh cocked an eyebrow. “I can’t imagine why not.”
When Josh moved to get up, Sadie held out her hand. “Don’t you dare. You didn’t ask if Sadie says.”
It was Paul’s turn to chuckle. “Your fault.”
“I love playing as much as the next man.” Josh clasped his hands behind his back. “What would you like me to do?”
Without Josh prompting her, it was harder for Sadie to come up with something to say. She bit the inside of her cheek, using the pain to help clear her mind. “Paul, I want you to take Josh’s shirt off him.”
Josh made a low humming noise in the back of his throat. “I believe the evening is about to get more interesting.”
“You’re an arrogant ass.” Paul lifted his head. “Sadie, may I?”
“Oh, yes, you may.”
Sadie hadn’t given it much thought before now, but the idea of two men together had never struck her as overtly sexy. Not until Paul rose up behind Josh, reached around and unbuttoned his shirt. Both sets of eyes were on her, making her shiver with longing.
By the time Paul freed Josh of his shirt, Sadie’s mouth had gone completely dry. Paul was light whereas Josh was dark. Where Paul had hair, Josh’s chest was smooth. His muscles were more prominent and his skin tanned. Josh wasn’t normally the type of man Sadie would be drawn to. He was too attractive and normally she’d be intimidated to speak to a man like him, let alone think she had a chance at starting anything sexual.
But tonight, Josh seemed possible. Tonight, all sorts of things seemed possible. She now had not one but two stunning men on their knees, waiting for her to tell them what to do next.
Not that she had the first idea what to do with them.
Reaching up, Sadie pulled out the pins that held her hair up. “Paul, I want you to stand up.” She stopped and reached up to touch her ear. “I want you to stand up and I want you to come over here and kiss me.”
The grin on his face left little doubt of his approval. “Oh, Sadie, may I?”
“Yes, you may.”
She’d expected him to jump right up, march over and kiss her. Instead, Paul slowly got to his feet and sauntered over. He didn’t stand in front of her right away. Instead he walked around until he was at her side. Shoulder to shoulder with her, he leaned over, his lips hovering above her exposed skin.
“You didn’t tell me where to kiss you.”
Shitshitshitshit.
“I figured it would be obvious.”
Josh chuckled, but stayed on his knees. “Now, we can’t assume that. We wouldn’t want to break your rules.”
“Exactly. You might have to punish me again.” Paul continued his slow circle around her. Sadie couldn’t be sure, but she swore his fingers grazed her back above the corset. “Not that I would mind.”
“I bet you didn’t know that about Paul, did you? He’s flexible when it comes to certain things.”
Hell no, she hadn’t a clue. Sadie turned to Paul, seeing him for what felt like the first time. “How can you even be remotely interested in me?”
“How can I not be? When I see you, I feel…” Paul reached up and cupped her cheek. “Tell me. Where do you want me to kiss you?”
Without thinking, she pointed to the juncture between her neck and shoulder. “Here.”
She held her breath as her arm came in contact with his naked chest. Paul increased the contact as he dipped his head and licked a small circle on the skin where she’d touched, before placing a small kiss in the center.
“There’s more to you than I think you see.” The whispered words were for her ears only. “You always hold back, worried about someone else. I love that about you.” Paul lifted his head, but she avoided his gaze and kept her eyes fixed on Josh, still on the floor. “I want to prove to you that you’re someone worth caring for.”
“But I’m boring.” She sure as hell wasn’t as adventurous as Paige, and Ian had the market cornered on getting attention. “You do things that are edgy. I’m not normally like that.”
“Edgy isn’t everything.” Paul kissed the spot again, this time flicking her ear on his way back up. “Besides, this is
your
fantasy.”
Her gaze traveled across Josh’s body once more. Paul was right. This was her chance and she’d be damned if she was going to back out now. God only knew if she’d have another opportunity like this again.
“Josh, I want you to come up here and kiss my other shoulder, like Paul did.”
Josh’s answering grin gave him a dangerous edge. “Sadie, may I?”
But he was already on his feet and by her side when she finally managed a weak, “Yes.”
“Now you said I have to kiss you exactly like Paul.” Josh wrapped an arm around her body until she could feel his hand pressed close to where Paul touched her. “Which is a little unfair as I couldn’t see exactly what he was doing.”
“Shall I tell him what I did?” Paul rubbed small circles into her back with his fingertips. “Would you like that?”
“Yes.” She bit the inside of her cheek.
“That’s my girl.” Paul tipped her head forward until Sadie’s head rested on his chest, fully exposing her throat to Josh. “The first thing I did was lick her skin. She has this taste to her, like coffee and sugar. I can’t get enough of it.”
Josh slid his hand to cup the back of Sadie’s head. “I can smell her too. It makes my mouth water.”
“A small circle, like you’re taking that first sip of wine.”
Josh did as Paul instructed, sending the butterflies in her stomach into a full riot mode. His tongue was wider than Paul’s and was able to tease more of her skin at once. Sadie leaned more into Paul and wanted to cry at the way he touched her, the care in his caress. Maybe she was reading too much into things, but right now she didn’t care.
“Then I placed a gentle kiss in the middle.”
Josh hummed in the back of his throat before doing as instructed.
It was too much for her. Before she let her reason take over, she reached up and put an arm around each of their heads.
“Kiss me properly now. On the mouth. Both of you.”
Josh moved in first, claiming her lips in an all-consuming manner that told her as much about his restraint as the depth of his passions. She turned in his arms and devoted her undivided attention to the man, she could feel the hardness of his cock pressing against her. She moved a hand down and grabbed hold, squeezing his covered shaft as hard as she could.
He threw back his head and moaned at the same time Paul pressed against her back.
“You’re most definitely poking the bear there, Sadie,” Paul whispered, reaching out to run a hand down Josh’s shoulder. “He’ll get out of control if we’re not careful.”
