She fidgeted with the hem of her skirt. This all stood a good chance of working out fine if she kept her feet firmly planted in reality and didn’t let her heart get involved. Really, in some ways it was infinitely less likely to blow up in her face compared to the majority of her past relationships. At least this time she’d walk into the situation with her eyes wide open, and Leo and Devlin weren’t trying to fill her head with false declarations of love just so they could get into her pants. That was already a guarantee, so no lies and pretenses necessary.
It was kind of liberating, now that she thought about it. Worrying her bottom lip between her teeth, she glanced from Leo to Dev and back again. “All right. I’ll do it.”
Huge grins broke across their faces. Devlin was the first to seal the celebratory moment with a kiss. His tongue plunged past her lips, instantly sweeping her under his seductive spell.
Lord, the man did know his way around a kiss. The second he came up for air, his spot was immediately taken over by Leo. In between his kisses he whispered to her in Spanish. She had no damn clue what he was saying, but his accent made her tingle in all the fun places, and really, that’s all that mattered in her book.
Her senses on overload, she slipped her hand inside his shirt and stroked his warm, velvety-smooth skin. He smelled so wonderfully delicious; she wanted to eat him up in one huge, gluttonous bite. Whimpering, she scooted backward, blatantly rubbing against his tented fly.
Groaning, he stalled her motions. “Sweetheart, we have to behave. At least until Miguel faxes the legal docs over.”
“Mm.” She wiggled between Leo and Devlin—one big happy filling in a hunky manwich. “Does that mean I get to be as bad as I want once the ink is dry?”
Two pairs of hands coasted up along her thighs and flirted with the snaps on her garters. Devlin licked his lips. “Baby, you have no idea what we have in store for your bad little self.”
Her pussy clenched at that sinful promise. One thing was certain. That damn fax couldn’t arrive fast enough.
Leo grimaced at the visible tremor in his fingers as he carefully packaged the Xtacy vial for transport to Sidney’s condo. The last time he was this nervous he was a wet behind the ears sixteen year old about to lose his virginity. He’d been with plenty of women since that clumsy fumble in the backseat of his Chevelle, but you wouldn’t know it with the way he was sweating. Much as he wanted to kid himself that his revving pulse was due to excitement over getting hands-on with his product research, he knew it was only a tiny part of the reason. Sidney was the numero uno cause.
He’d never craved a woman this badly. The tiny taste he’d gotten of her on the sofa wasn’t nearly enough. If he didn’t get a grip, he stood a good chance of embarrassing himself worse than he had with his unskilled teenage fumbling, for shit’s sake. Silently chastising himself, he plopped the elixir in the padded envelope and locked up the lab. Dev was still in his office, wrapping up a business call with one of their clients. The moment he spotted Leo in the doorway he held up a finger and mouthed, “One minute.”
It damn well better not be a second over that, otherwise Leo would be forced to dunk his dick in an ice bath. Grumbling, he snatched the keys to his Audi and waited for Dev in the front reception area. He sure as hell wouldn’t have carpooled today if he’d known they’d be ending out the night indulging all of their kinkiest desires with Sidney.
He lingered by her desk, casually inspecting the few photos grouped in the frame propped near her computer. Curiosity had nudged him to look at them countless times before, and he still smiled as he took in the image of her looking goofy and adorable as she duck faced for the camera with two other women he assumed to be her cohorts in crime.
Dev’s tuneless whistling announced his approach and Leo glanced in his partner’s direction. “Do you need to stop at your place for anything, or can we drive straight to Sidney’s?”
Dev cocked an eyebrow. “Anxious to get in her pussy much?”
“Like you aren’t.”
“True.” Dev’s expression turned considering. “I’m surprised you don’t want to swing by your place to grab some
accessories
though.”
He’d debated the possibility but ultimately decided it might be too soon to spring his toys on Sidney. “Better to feel her out first before whipping out the cuffs and restraints.”
They headed down to the car and Leo programmed Sidney’s address into his GPS. He and Dev had suggested she might be more comfortable if they spent most of their time there and she’d seemed relieved with that scenario. Now he was doubly happy she’d agreed, seeing how she lived twenty minutes closer to the office than either he or Dev. That was twenty minutes sooner to kissing and caressing her again, along with some considerably sexier activities.
“We should probably come up with a game plan for how we’re going to do this,” Dev said, breaking through Leo’s musings. “While we might not be new at this, there’s a good chance Sid hasn’t been with two men before. We don’t even know if she’s game for double penetration.”
Leo cursed under his breath. It wasn’t like him to not get all the cards on the table right off the bat to ensure everyone’s comfort level and needs were met. Just went to show how much his desire for Sidney continued to short circuit every other thought in his brain. “We’ll ask her.”
Before
their clothes came off. He wasn’t taking anything to chance.
The GPS signaled that her street was less than a block ahead. Leo eased up on the gas and shifted into the right lane. He took the turn into her complex and followed the bend past the clubhouse. He spotted her vehicle and coasted into the spot next to it before killing the engine. Feeling as anxious as a nerd about to pick up the prom queen, Leo ran his palm over his hair and snagged the envelope containing the Xtacy elixir before he climbed from his car. The slamming of the passenger door signaled that Dev was a step behind him.
Pots overflowing with fragrant flowers framed her doorway. Apparently she was partial to pink roses. Leo filed the info for future reference, and giving the back of his head one last smoothing pass of his hand, rang her bell.
She appeared a moment later, a beautiful, sexy vision in shorts and a feminine powder blue camisole top. The only reason Leo registered the color was because he couldn’t tear his gaze from her breasts. The naughty minx had foregone a bra, and her nipples were begging to be licked and suckled. Sending his cock a stern warning to pipe down, he offered her a kiss on the cheek.
She peered up at him, her eyes sparkling. “Really? That’s the best you’ve got for me?”
“Querida, if I gave you my best right here, we’d be arrested for public indecency.”
Her grin warmed him all the way to his toes. “You are such a smooth talker, Rico Sauvé.”
Dev chuckled. “Don’t let him fool ya.” He leaned in so he could stage whisper near Sidney’s ear. “That’s the slickest line he has. The rest usually involve references to activation energy and alpha particles.”
She fanned her face. “Whew. I think we could all use a cold aperitif after that dirty talk.” Crooking her finger, she invited them inside. The tiled entry led directly into the living room. She gestured to the suede sectional. “Make yourselves at home. Do you prefer beer, wine, a mixed drink? Or something softer?”
Her last suggestion got him thinking about other things besides a refreshing beverage, but for the time being he and Dev both opted for a beer and parked themselves on the couch while she went to fetch their drinks. Just like him, Dev appeared hypnotized by the seductive jiggle of her ass. As soon as she was out of earshot, Dev made a growling noise. “I can’t wait to sink my teeth in that fine tush.”
That made two of them. And truthfully, he wouldn’t mind sinking something other than his teeth. Though as much as he enjoyed anal, he’d always be a pussy man first and foremost.
Curiosity getting the best of him, he pulled his mind away from sex and inventoried the decor of his surroundings. Other than the vase of flowers and assorted fashion magazines fanned across the coffee table, the furnishings held a distinctly masculine flavor. Leftovers from a previous relationship? Leo mulled that possibility over. She’d never mentioned a live-in boyfriend before, or any exes, for that matter. Not that he found it particularly unusual or anything. He didn’t go around blabbing about his past either.
Sidney reappeared with their beverages and a tray of cheese, crackers, and fresh fruit. She darted an uncertain look between him and Dev. “I wasn’t sure how long you’d be staying, so I picked up some steaks on the off chance you’d like to have dinner. But I just now realized that maybe you’re both vegetarians.”
He didn’t know which tugged at his heart more—the fact that she’d wanted to make them dinner, or her worry over getting their dietary preferences wrong. Sadly, he couldn’t recall the last time he shared a home cooked meal with a woman. Come to think of it, the number of times probably added up to a big fat zero. The majority of females he’d dated had preferred going out to eat, especially if it was someplace expensive and trendy. Not that he wasn’t game for that on occasion. But spending a casual, cozy night in with Sidney? Now t
hat
was something he could get addicted to on a daily basis.
After he and Dev reassured her that they were most definitely
not
vegetarians, Leo scooted over so she could curl up between them. The air instantly became charged with the heady promise of sex, making him super aware of every innocent brush of her body against his. Then again, judging from the sparkle in her eyes, it might not have been innocent in the least.
Determined to tackle the important details before his dick outshouted his common sense, Leo cleared his throat. “In order to get an accurate read of your test results we need to establish a stimulus history for you. Some of the questions might seem highly personal, but there’s no reason to be embarrassed. It’s important that you be absolutely honest with your answers.”
Sidney swirled her fingertips along his thigh, effectively murdering his concentration. “I know. Remember, I was the one who helped log most of those questionnaire reports into the system. So I had a good inkling what I was getting myself into here.” She gnawed her bottom lip for a second, a deep furrow forming in the center of her brow. “If you don’t mind though, I’d prefer not to get into the specifics of my previous relationships.”
He and Dev exchanged a look over the top of her head, and seeing the agreement in his partner’s gaze, Leo nodded. “We won’t push beyond the basic need-to-know stuff.” He squeezed her hand. “But sexual inhibitions and blocks are often linked to negative experiences with past partners. It’s helpful to acknowledge the issue so we can help you work through it.”
“It isn’t necessarily that I have any inhibitions. More like a habit of—” She broke off abruptly and snatched her glass of wine, draining nearly half of it in what could only be labeled as a desperate gulp. Her expression still pensive, she fidgeted with the stem of the glass and stared at the blank TV screen.
When it became apparent that she wouldn’t continue without encouragement on their end, Dev rubbed her shoulder. “A habit of what, Sid?”
She exhaled resignedly. “Giving more of myself than I probably should. Particularly when it comes to douchebags who really have only ever wanted one thing from me.”
At that moment, Leo wanted nothing more than to kick the ass of any jackass stupid enough not to recognize the treasure that was Sidney. Instead he settled for cuddling her against his side. “Don’t ever feel bad for having a giving heart. Those men didn’t deserve you.”
She toyed with the cuff of his shirt. “Thank you for saying that.”
“I meant it.” He pondered her admission, the ramifications hitting him square in the sternum. He and Dev were here to have sex with her. Shit, did she think they were only after one thing? “Sweetheart, if you have any second thoughts about doing this, we can always—”
“No.” She plunked her wine glass on the coffee table and faced them. “I
want
to do this. And I’ll be honest, it’s not just so I can help further your research. I’m also doing this for me. For once, I want to be a little selfish and make
myself
happy.”
Dev twined his fingers with Sidney’s. “There isn’t one damn selfish thing about that, baby.”
She chuffed a laugh. “It is when you’re usually focused on pleasing everyone but yourself.”
Leo mentally picked at her admission, knowing it held a kernel of valuable intel. “Was it difficult for you to climax with your partners?”
She blinked. “Wow. That came out of left field.”
“Not really. It’s a common denominator we’ve found in several of our test subjects—focusing so much on their partner’s needs, they ultimately neglect their own.”
“Huh.” Sidney tapped her chin. “Yeah, I guess I can see how that would happen.”
“This is one of those areas we need to push you on,” Leo prodded gently.
Judging from the sudden slump of her shoulders, it was an easy guess what she was about to say. “I rarely had an orgasm from penetration, and only sometimes with oral if I had a particularly good fantasy running in my mind.”
Dev inched closer to the edge of the cushion. “You use fantasy to get off?”
She chuckled. “A time or two.”
Leo mentally replayed the footage from the lab. “You fantasized about us last night with the Xtacy. Why don’t you tell us about that?”
Her cheeks pinkened. He wasn’t entirely sure if it was due to embarrassment or excitement at the memory. His own body flushed at the possibility of it being the latter, because he’d give his left nut to turn that fantasy into a reality. And that was before even knowing what the hell it all entailed. But that was inconsequential as far as he was concerned. If it resulted in bringing her to that level of ecstasy again, that’s all that mattered.
She transferred a look between them, her excitement now readily apparent upon her face. “I imagined that you both caught me in the lab and punished me for trespassing.”
The sudden breathiness of her voice grabbed him by the short hairs. “How did we punish you?”
Sidney licked her lips. “You strapped me onto one of the worktables. Only it wasn’t a normal worktable. It had a lever that made it tilt, and the bottom portion could fold down.”
“And what was the purpose of that?” Judging from the gravel in Dev’s tone, he was equally drawn into the fantasy.
“You were able to stand on one end so I could suck you off, and Leo was between my legs, fucking me. There were also these suction cup sensor thingamabobs that went here...” She gestured to her nipples and her pussy.
Leo swallowed past the dryness in his throat. “What did those do?”
“They synched with the Xtacy and, well, you two. Every time you increased your thrusts, the sensors reacted by sucking harder. ” She sighed. “I know, it sounds pretty weird.”
“Uh, no.” Dev adjusted his fly. “Actually, it’s fucking hot.” He glanced at Leo. “We should have Quinn look into the possibility of developing a gizmo like that.”
Sidney frowned. “Quinn?”
“My cousin. He designs sex toys for Sweet Vibes.” Dev grinned. “His pride and joy is the Holy O. Perhaps you’re familiar with it?”
Her mouth dropped open. “Are you kidding me? The Holy O was my longest lasting relationship up until it croaked two months ago. I just haven’t gotten around to replacing it since it’s so darn expensive.”
