Shaking his head, Jared slid his lips along her jawline. “Don’t worry about that. It’s not your bra I want to touch…or see. It’s you.”
Her fingers were trembling on Kendry’s hand as she stopped him from unzipping her jeans a second later. “Um…”
Her breathing sounded a little shaky as Jared eased the hem of her top up to just beneath her breasts, sliding his fingertips beneath it and raising gooseflesh in their wake.
“What’s the matter?” Kendry asked as he kissed the other side of her jaw and made a line of kisses that extended from below her ear and down her throat. Being so close, he could hear when she gulped and then panted slightly.
She gently squeezed his hand and said, “Let me.” She undid the button and the zipper and then slipped her hands into the waistband and pushed down the jeans. “I don’t want you to be disappointed.”
Both men sat up and looked down at her. Her ivory skin was turned to shimmering satin by the flickering glow of the firelight and his mouth watered as her hips and upper thighs were revealed in her slow extrication of the jeans.
“Disappointed?” Jared asked in an incredulous tone.
“The…baby weight. I haven’t lost it yet. My stretch marks are so noticeable. I’ve got a mommy body and you’re used to…”
Kendry cocked his head and asked, “Used to what?”
Biting her lip, she looked between the two of them and settled her gaze on Jared. “Used to women like Jasmine, who have tight bodies and firm breasts. Motherhood has changed all that for me.”
Jared shook his head slowly and never stopped his progress, easing the top up until she lifted slightly and allowed him to pull it over her head. He glanced at Kendry and nodded. He eased the jeans farther down, catching her socks with them and removed all of it until she was left reclining there in nothing but her lace bra and panties. Myriad expressions crossed her face as she stared up at him and Jared. When he rested his palm over her breastbone he could feel her heart pounding.
Jared feathered his fingers into her long hair and brushed it over her shoulders, smiling as he said, “You shouldn’t worry like that.” He removed the hand she’d lifted to cover the closure at the top of one of the cups on the nursing bra and kissed her knuckles. “You’re exactly what I want, and what Kendry wants, obviously, otherwise why would we be here right now? We find you very attractive, all of you, and there’s nothing beneath your clothing that you need to hide from us.”
“But—”
“Jasmine might’ve had a perfect body, but there was ugliness hiding under the surface,” he continued. “The perfect body doesn’t mean squat when the woman underneath it all is self-absorbed and unfaithful.”
“She was?”
Jared nodded. “Evidently she grew impatient with my long shifts…and the time I spent with Kendry after he finally got out of the hospital. One night, Kendry and I arrived at our apartment after my shift was over. We had groceries in hand, ready to grill up a feast and celebrate his reinstatement at the fire department. She was in bed with one of my coworkers who was off shift.”
Jared paused and swallowed and Kendry remembered the shock in his brother’s eyes when they’d been greeted by the sounds of vigorous sex as they’d walked in the door of the house Jared and Kendry lived in and that Jasmine had shared. One more thing he didn’t miss about Abilene was being forced to tolerate Jasmine in order to spend time with his brother off the clock.
Presley Ann sat up, holding her hands to her chest. “Then what are we doing, the three of us?”
That was what she’d gotten out of the explanation? Kendry shook his head and took her hands, lowering them to her lap, trying to ignore the warmth of her satiny thighs against his knuckles as he said, “Kitten, this is different. We both want you and we don’t mind sharing you. Yeah, Jasmine was hot, but she was a liar and Jared never agreed to sharing her with anyone. And believe us when we tell you that you have nothing to feel self-conscious about. You’re beautiful, and being a mother only increases that beauty.”
Presley Ann scoffed as she covered her abdomen with her palm and shook her head and Jared said, “Will you at least give us a chance to prove to you that what we’re saying is how we really feel?”
Kendry pressed against her shoulder and she gave in easily, lying back down with her head on one of the pillows. He kissed her shoulder and whispered, “Please?”
At her hesitant nod, Jared wasted no time in undoing the front closure on Presley Ann’s bra, releasing the bounty of her breasts. Gooseflesh rose on her bare skin and her nipples tightened as he parted the garment. Her sweet, decadent scent of vanilla and citrus made Kendry’s mouth water, and his jaw dropped a little as her beautiful breasts were fully revealed.
