Bound by Their Kisses(19)

Tessa could see just how hard that was for him to say to her. It was obvious that he really wanted her and didn’t want her to refuse to be with them. Was it possible that he really did care about her outside of sexually?

“Tessa? Can you live with that? Will you take a chance with us and let us prove to you that we aren’t like your ex? I’ve never had to prove myself before. I don’t like the idea that I’m on some type of probation, but for you, I’ll do it. For you, I’d do most almost anything if it meant having you in our lives.” Tag’s eyes seemed to see right through her. She couldn’t believe that he was bending so far to meet her needs.

She looked back up at Zander and could see the same determination etched on his face. Both men were offering something to her they had never offered another woman. She had no doubt that normally if a woman turned them down or acted unsure of their intentions, they just walked away and cut their losses. With her, though, both men were taking chances that put all of the power in her hands.

It humbled her, making her want them even more. She licked her lips and nodded.

“I want to try. I like you both and I’m tired of being alone all the time. If you’re sure you want to take the chance that I’ll flip out on you or something, I’m willing to try.”

Before Zander could hug her, Tag had grabbed her out of the man’s arms and carried her toward the front entrance hall. She had no doubt that they were heading toward the bedrooms. Both men had shown a tremendous amount of restraint where she was concerned over the last few months. Part of her was nervous, but an even bigger part of her was excited. She had no idea how to satisfy two men at one time, but she’d try. She wanted to try, and that felt really good.

Zander followed Tag as he carried their woman down the hall to the master bedroom. He’d had it designed with the three of them in mind but left a few things for Tessa to handle picking out once she’d moved in. He hoped she would be happy with it. The three of them would share the room from now on. She would be moving in with them after this. He wouldn’t take no for an answer. She was theirs to protect.

Zander reached around Tag at the end of the hall and pushed open the double doors that led into the bedroom. He heard Tessa’s gasp and prayed it was a good gasp and not a disappointed one.

“Guys! This is amazing.”

Tag let Tessa slide down his body so that she could look around. His friend turned and looked at Zander only to shrug when he lifted an eyebrow in question.

He tried looking at the room through Tessa’s eyes, but wasn’t sure what she’d see. All he saw was the hardwood floor with cream-colored walls to be neutral until she picked out colors. The bed was specially made to fit the three of them, and right now it was covered in a burnt-orange and gold coverlet with several scatter pillows at the head to make it look nice. There were two chests of drawers, one for him and one for Tag while she had the full use of the massive dresser on the opposite wall from the bed.

He watched her run her hands over the massive posts then walk over to where the two walk-in closets stood. One of them he and Tag would share and she would have the other one to herself. It wasn’t like they had anything elaborate to wear outside their jeans and leathers. She ooed and aahed over them before opening the door leading into the master bath. Her loud squeal had both men racing to see what was wrong.

When he stopped just inside the bathroom, it was to find Tessa standing in the middle of the large walk-in shower turning in circles. He relaxed, realizing she was excited, not upset or hurt.

“I take it that you like the shower,” his friend said. Leave it to Tag to state the obvious.

“It’s huge and I love the bench seat and all the cubby holes that you can put your shampoo and soap on, but some of them are shaped a little funny,” she said, pointing to one of the handholds they’d had designed into the stone walls.

“Those are handholds, kitten,” Zander explained. “They are there to give you something to hold on to.”

“Oh, so you don’t slip,” she said, smiling.

“So you don’t slip and fall when one of us has our mouth between your legs or have you bending forward while we fuck you,” Tag added with a mischievous grin.

Tessa’s face turned a bright shade of pink as her eyes widened in shock. As much as he wished Tag hadn’t quite put it that way, he enjoyed seeing her blush. She was so perfect for them.

“Do you like the tub, Tessa? Most women love the big soaking tubs for long bubble baths.” Zander turned her attention to the massive tub he and Tag had fought over. Tag had wanted the one with jets, but Tag had pointed out that they had the hot tub on the deck.
