“A pre-bachelor party? Never heard of such a thing.”
She smiled as his brother Rusty moved closer to her. His body was lightly brushing against hers, and she couldn’t ignore the sexual energy vibrating between the three of them. Add in that cologne he was wearing and she was feeling aroused and attracted to both men. What the heck was going on?
Rusty chuckled. “It was an excuse to come party and have some fun. We’re busy working all the time, so this weekend forced us to let loose a little.”
“Sounds like you have demanding jobs. What do you two do for a living?”
Reece smirked. “We’re firefighters, ma’am,” he said in a sexy, flirty tone that made her belly quiver. The nervousness made her chuckle.
“Hey, hey, shots all around. Let’s do this!” one of their friends yelled, and Brighid looked at them and Jenny and Anna, who were practically hanging on the arms of the two guys.
“I don’t think so,” Brighid said, thinking someone would have to help her friends get to the room.
“Oh no you don’t. It’s your weekend to let loose too, Miss Prim and Proper. Shots all around,” Jenny said, and the bartender lined them up.
“Here you go, Miss Prim and Proper.” Rusty winked then began passing her one. She shook her head and smirked but took the shot glass. He and his brother took one too, and then the others counted to three and they all did the shots then cheered.
“You didn’t even make a strange face. You like tequila?” Reece asked her as he placed his hand on the back of her chair.
“I don’t dislike it. I’m really not a shot kind of person, but it has been a hell of a few weeks with work.”
Then the bartender poured another round.
By the fourth shot, she was starting to loosen up and so were Rusty and Reece.
“Where do you work?” Reece asked, and she felt his hand begin to play with her hair as Rusty sat down on the bar stool next to her and placed his hand over her knee.
“You’ve got gorgeous green eyes, sweetie. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such beautiful eyes.”
His voice and their simultaneous touch were playing havoc on her body and her brain. She knew she shouldn’t tell them too much about herself, but they were so damn nice.
“I work for an insurance firm. I’m heading out to New Orleans Monday morning for a new position.” She lied. She was heading an hour away to New Jersey and a town called Treasure Town, which was supposed to be awesome. Her bosses at the insurance firm had even hooked her up with a condo there near the beach. She had her bikinis all picked out and hoped to get a bit of sun in during the weekends.
“Insurance, huh? That’s great. I’ve been to New Orleans a few times. Where will you be working?” Rusty asked and then took another slug of beer.
She started talking about Louisiana, which she did know a bit about, having cousins out there. In fact, she had a few who were firefighters and police officers.
“You have cousins in that area who work as cops and firefighters? Damn, I knew I liked you.” Reece moved his hand under her hair and gave her neck a gentle squeeze.
It sure did affect her in ways she wasn’t used to. They were absolutely perfect, but this situation and meeting here wasn’t.
They were more than likely out for a good time. Well, she was too, but she didn’t sleep around, although these two would be a fantasy come true. Still, she wasn’t stupid.
As they continued to talk, she found out they had a lot in common and were both New York Giants fans. That got them talking about sports, which she knew a lot more about than most women did.
“Another round, on us this time,” one of their friends called out, and they handed out shots again.
A little while later, they walked toward the pool table set up in the bar area and started playing a few games while her friends made out with the two guys they’d just met.
Time seemed to go by so quickly, and she really was having a fun time with Reece and Rusty. She knew she shouldn’t keep drinking, but they were all enjoying themselves, and she was loosening up so much she started touching Reece and Rusty, running her hands along their muscles.
At one point she was asking about Rusty’s tattoo on his wrist and noticed a cut along his arm.
He pulled her onto his lap on one of the small couches in the pool area and told her how he’d sustained the injury during a fire just yesterday.
She was impressed but also turned on by him and his brother who sat on the arm of the chair and caressed her hair. She didn’t think twice when she brought Rusty’s wrist to her lips and kissed the cut.
His eyes darkened, and he looked at her then her lips right before he pulled her close and kissed her.
That kiss grew deeper until he released her lips and exhaled.
“Holy shit, Brighid.”
She felt exactly the same way. Never had she felt so in tune to a man. Well, to two men at once, as Reece touched her chin and tilted it up toward him. She stared up into his dark blue eyes.
“I want to taste you, too.”
She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth and wondered if she should or not.
Then Rusty caressed her hair and ran his hand along her leg and her knee.
“Go on and kiss my brother. We share everything, and you’re too perfect for us not to let him kiss you, too.”
She swallowed hard and noticed her friends were having a great time, as were the men’s friends. So when Reece leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, she was shocked when she felt just as connected and attracted to Reece as she did when she’d kissed Rusty.
“Jesus, Brighid. You taste so sweet.”
He gave her a wink, and she smiled and then looked at her friends.
This was what tonight was all about. Having a good time, letting loose, meeting new people, and not having any regrets. But as more shots were passed around and she started to feel numb and as if she never wanted this night to end, she let go and decided to live for once in her life instead of being a stickler for rules and order. There was plenty of time for that when she started her new job.
* * * *
Rusty couldn’t believe their luck. Brighid was gorgeous, sexy, classy, and so much fun he didn’t want the night to end. He was pissed off that she was moving to Louisiana. He tried to figure out a way to see her again, maybe visit her. She was that fucking perfect. Reece was holding her hand and walking with her out of the lounge area and toward the hallway. They were all feeling pretty damn drunk. Her friends had taken off with some of their friends an hour ago, but she didn’t seem like the kind of woman who slept around. It was three o’clock in the morning, and the bar was clearing out. He wondered if they could make plans for tomorrow.
As he stood up to follow them out of the room, he felt the room spinning and so did Reece.
“Holy shit, I think you got me drunk, Brighid,” Reece said to her, and she wrapped her arm around his waist and chuckled.
“Don’t worry, fireman Reece. I’ve got you.”
Reece chuckled and ran his hand along her ass. He gave it a slap, and she gasped and then laughed. “I think I like being got.”
Rusty took position on her other side and grabbed onto her waist.
“I think you got us both drunk.” Rusty tried to focus on where they were headed.
“I’ve got you too, so no worries, sir.” She saluted and nearly fell forward.
Rusty didn’t know how he caught her, but thank God, his reflexes weren’t totally off, or she would have fallen on her face. It was bad enough her heels were making her wobble.
“Wait. Hold up.” Reece slid from her hold, went down on one knee, teetered a moment, and looked up into her eyes. Rusty, despite seeing two of Reece, could see the desire and attraction in his brother’s eyes.
“Give me these heels, baby, before you break your pretty little neck.”
“Aw, that’s so sweet, Reece.” She leaned forward to hold on to his shoulders and then hugged him, her breasts against his face.
Reece lifted her up and kissed her. Rusty joined in, feeling her body beneath his palms as he rubbed them along her hips and then her shoulders. He kissed her neck and suckled her skin. God, he wanted her so badly his cock ached with need.
“Get a fucking room,” someone yelled, and Rusty turned to see some guy with his woman.
Reece laughed after he released her lips.
“I think he’s right.” Reece took her hand and led them to the elevator.
* * * *
Reece pressed Brighid against the wall in the elevator. He moved his hands along her hips and then cupped her breasts, shocked at how full and large she felt. He’d never been so attracted to a woman before, and this one had to be leaving for another job out of state. It sucked. He didn’t want to let her go, and surely didn’t want the night to end, but how could they make her stay with them?
She kissed him back and then slowly moved her lips to the side to breathe.
“God, you two are such good kissers. I don’t want this night to end.”
He smiled. “We don’t either.”
She smiled, and then he leaned his forehead against hers and felt the hallway spinning.
“Jesus, I’m fucking drunk as hell.”
“Me, too. I feel numb.”
Then the door to the room opened, and Reece saw Rusty wobble and hit the door. Brighid chuckled and then wrapped her arm around Reece’s waist and walked with him into the room.
