The sounds of sensual revelry echoed on the cool breeze, and she shivered slightly and snuggled between them. They needed to get her back inside before she grew chilled. For now, he and his brother moved closer, keeping her warm between them.
Lucas rested his head in his palm and looked down at her, stroking her blonde hair from her cheek. “She’s ruined me.”
Josh chuckled. “Me, too.”
“I don’t want her to get cold.”
“Let’s let her rest a while longer, and then we’ll carry her back to our room.”
His cock stirred at the thought, and he willed it into submission. She’d taken both of them, and not in a gentle way. If they woke her for another round, she might be too sore for what he had planned the following day, and that wouldn’t do.
He smiled as she curled to her side. Violet pressed her face against his chest as she snuggled her rounded ass to Lucas’s groin, drawing a soft groan from him.
“She’s a snuggler,” Josh whispered. Somehow he’d known she would be.

Lucas gazed at Violet, wrapped up in the fuzzy blanket, as he and his brother dressed for the short trip back to the house. Judging by the way she slept on as they talked quietly, her nerves had done a job on her earlier, and then their explosive lovemaking had drained the rest of her energy.
Josh gathered her clothing and nodded as Lucas tucked the blanket around her and lifted her into his arms. Her solid weight cuddled against him, her head tucked into his neck, made him feel like a million bucks as they followed the path back to the mansion, drawing the curious gazes of the other weekend attendees.
A tall man in his thirties craned his head as they walked past, and he couldn’t help it when he lifted her slightly so the man couldn’t get a good look at her face, beautiful in its somnolence.
The man grinned, as if he understood, and said, “She must’ve been who I heard screaming out there earlier. What I can see of her is quite lovely. Would you be interested in playing with our group tomorrow?” Lucas couldn’t recall seeing him during the meal and figured he must’ve arrived later in the evening.
“Thanks, but no,” Lucas replied before Josh could even open his mouth. Surprising. Josh was the more possessive of the two of them. “We’ve already got private scenes set up for her.”
“Pity,” the man replied as his eyes rested on her, and then he reached out to finger the texture of one of her long blond locks that had escaped from the blanket. “Would you be opposed to us asking her ourselves?”
“We would,” he replied as he backed away from the man’s reach. He didn’t want anyone touching her without her express permission.
“Let us know if you change your mind,” said the blond man sitting beside him as he reached over and stroked the man’s thigh. “We’d take good care of her.”
Not on your fucking life.
She murmured something in her sleep as Lucas skirted the seated groups, paying little attention to the others in their erotic pursuits. He’d known she might receive such invitations, but he hadn’t dwelled on how he’d feel about them. Her womanly scent filled his head, and he worried for a moment the next day might be more than she’d prepared herself for. Then again, she’d surprised the hell out of him when she’d gone from a kitten to a wildcat.
Whatever the outcome, one thing was certain. They weren’t sharing her with anyone else.
Chapter Six
Standing in the doorway to her bedroom, Violet looked down at the thin folds of cloth Joseph had placed in her hands. Atop the scanty stack was a large, parchment envelope with a gold seal upon it. “This is what?”
Joseph smiled at her. “Your costume and invitation to your scene. Read it and then put on your costume.”
Gripping the parchment envelope in her hand, she unfolded the filmy garment and held it up. She gaped at Joseph through the thin material, “Joseph! I can see the pin stripes in your suit through this. I might as well go naked!”
Joseph chuckled. “Well, considering the stir of curiosity you created among the male guests last night, I’m sure that would be a welcome option, too. The choice, of course, is yours. See you in a few.”
Her jaw nearly hit the floor as he walked away chuckling.
She’d already done the walk of shame earlier in the morning, after awakening in Josh and Lucas’s room. She could only assume they’d carried her there, and the thought mortified her because they were on the third floor. A note had been left on her pillow letting her know they were doing some last-minute preparations for a scene.
A scene?
She hadn’t wanted to assume anything, so she’d slunk back to her room for a shower, asking herself over and over what she thought she was doing and why she’d strayed from her original intention to only observe that weekend. Dip her toe in the shallow end of the kinky pool with her water wings snugly in place.
