He was already semi-hard from the feel of her pressed against him but that flush of arousal, reluctant as it was, made his cock swell until it felt strangled. If he pulled that frumpy robe and pajama top away he knew he’d find her nipples rosy pink and erect. She was definitely turned on from being between them like this. Testing her response, Nathan shifted and curled his hand around the back of her neck, squeezing gently, then more firmly until her eyes closed in enjoyment. Her soft sigh made his abdomen pull tight.
She was fighting the need inside her, would never give voice to it. It tied him in knots. Didn’t she realize he wanted to fulfill her fantasies? If she wanted to try a threesome, this was about as safe a scenario as he could ever give her. He and Liam had shared women in the past, but this would be completely different. Nathan loved her more than his own life and would never let anything or anyone hurt her. Liam wouldn’t do anything Cait didn’t want—he’d lavish her with pleasure. And not simply because he knew Nathan would kill him for doing otherwise. He’d treat her right because he adored her too. That’s why Nathan was willing to allow it.
Cait’s eyes were still closed. A little hum of pleasure escaped when his fingers kneaded the taut muscles at her nape. Sensual and responsive to his every touch. What would she do if he twisted her head up right now and took her mouth the way he wanted to? If he held her fast while Liam moved in to nibble on her neck and began unbuttoning her top? She’d be horrified, embarrassed, furious.
But if he could somehow get her past all that and make her feel safe enough, cherished enough that she’d let go of her inhibitions and accept what she wanted…
She’d melt for them like rich chocolate left in the sun. Her body would go pliant, and her gorgeous blue eyes would dilate as her need built. Christ, he wanted to give that to her. Pure pleasure with no strings attached. One night of him sharing her with another man, one he trusted with his life.
It troubled him that she was holding back. Maybe it was his fault she didn’t feel comfortable enough to face her innermost desires. Maybe she didn’t trust him completely with that part of herself. That thought bothered him more than anything else. As her lover and life partner it was his duty, his privilege to make sure he fulfilled her in every way possible. He wanted to. How did he make it clear how important that was to him?
Nuzzling the soft skin of her neck, he inhaled her sweet raspberry scent and smiled at the tremor that rolled through her. Ah, baby. So aroused, yet so afraid to unleash it. He’d have to help her confront that fear.
And conquer it.
She couldn’t handle this. She’d been an idiot to come out here, knowing full well what would happen. The sexual need roiling inside her pulled tighter and tighter until it was all she could do not to squirm in place. Every nerve ending in her body pulsed with the knowledge that she was sandwiched between two sexy, virile men. One who wanted her, and the other she was starting to believe might too.
Cait closed her eyes and leaned further into Nathan’s body, praying he wouldn’t know the true reason behind her sudden peak in arousal. He had to know she was turned on—he always knew. But he didn’t do anything. Just watched the movie.
His hand continued to work the taut muscles at her nape while Liam’s body heat suffused her right side. He hardly touched her, but even through her robe and pajama top she felt the contact clear to her center. She barely suppressed a shiver at the feel of being pressed between them like this, innocent though it was, with their warmth seeping into her. They were so big on either side of her, caging her in an almost protective embrace. She felt small, feminine. The heightened awareness made her body unbearably sensitive. Her breasts felt heavy and swollen, the nipples rasping uncomfortably against her PJs.
God, why was she still sitting here, doing this to herself? She really should leave. She should, but…it was too delicious to walk away from this just yet. The feel of them. The erotic idea of being with both of them.
Liam shifted beside her. A forbidden part of her wanted to lean over and rub against him. Instead she pressed closer to Nathan and forced out a slow, deep breath. They were torturing her with their innate masculine sensuality, and they didn’t even realize it.
At least, Liam didn’t realize it. She was afraid Nathan knew all too well what she was thinking.
Images continued to flicker across the TV screen, but she didn’t see any of them. Closing her eyes, just for a moment she allowed herself to fantasize about what it would be like. She’d turn to Nathan and kiss him, press her body flush against his. If she did that right in front of Liam, Nathan would know exactly what it meant and what she wanted. Then he’d take over. Completely.
