Secret Cravings(21)

Nichole sat there for a long moment, unable to talk. How could she organise her thoughts enough to put into words what had happened with Charisa and Derek? Would Bryan understand why she didn’t want to be involved in any sort of a relationship right now?

Luke sat down on the bed behind them and began stroking her hair. Charisa and Derek had been smaller, more like her size. Luke and Bryan were huge compared to them. Her heart warmed and gladness filled her.

“I was involved with a couple and they kicked me out because they wanted to raise a family. I was there first and Derek shoved me out of Charisa’s life. It’s not fair.” Tears streamed down her face. This wasn’t how she wanted Bryan and Luke to see her.

Bryan hugged her close, wrapping his arms around her and rocking back and forth. His lips slid across her forehead, then sought out her mouth, teasing it open with gentle licks. The kiss left her body shaking and her mind whirling as he picked her up and laid her on the bed.

Luke kissed her toes and feet while Bryan moved to her breasts, licking and sucking and driving her crazy. She didn’t want to think, only to feel. Luke kissed his way up her legs to her knees. He pulled his body up hers, digging his fingers into her flesh. She relished the pain and pleasure. Bryan sucked her nipple into his mouth and she arched up to meet him. Their attention left her breathless and their touches sent her closer to the edge.

Bryan kissed her again, his tongue dipping into her mouth, twisting with hers. Luke buried his face between her legs. The first flick of his tongue against her clit sucked away her breath. He slipped two fingers into her, searching for her G-spot. She cried out as he grazed her sensitive nub with his teeth.

The three of them together seemed right, but the bittersweet memories of her last family made her chest tight, stealing her orgasm from her. Bryan and Luke kept touching her, working with their lips, hands and tongues to get her back on track to bliss. She shut out the memories of the past and allowed the ecstasy of raw sex to flow through her.

Bryan flicked his thumbs over her nipples and pushed her over the edge. She writhed under them as her juices bathed Luke’s tongue. With her eyes closed, she rode the wave of delight, forgetting about her past and not even thinking about her future. She couldn’t contemplate anything beyond the pleasure happening right now.



Nichole grabbed her clothes and followed Luke out of the bedroom. Bryan had fallen asleep after their lovemaking and Luke didn’t want to disturb him. His mind kept turning back to what Bryan had said. God, to lose a baby and a relationship—he couldn’t imagine the pain.

Anything bad that had happened in his life didn’t come close to that type of mind-fuck. Bryan was taking it all rather well, considering it had only been four months. Hell, he would fall apart if he had a baby, then lost it. His feelings for Bryan were growing deeper with every minute they spent together. He didn’t want to lose the guy, but if he wasn’t careful he would fall for Bryan and have no defence against the pain when things went south.

“Why the long face?” Nichole asked.

“Nothing. Want something to eat? I have fruit or some eggs?”

“You have an apple?”

“Sure.” Luke ambled over to the refrigerator, his mind still on Bryan losing his kid. He was such an idiot mooning over his own need to be wanted, when here was a guy who had lost everything.

“Hey, you’re like a million miles away.” Nichole ran her hand down his chest, her eyes bright with lust.

“I’m sorry, I’m just a little distracted.”

“Distracted?”

Luke didn’t feel comfortable talking to Nichole about his thoughts about Bryan. He liked the girl, but there was something about Bryan that made him crazy. He wanted the man for more than just a few quick fucks, but relationships had always been difficult for him. The twists and turns they took always threw him for a loop. Of course, none of his past lovers had really wanted to be with him. His money or his fame had fed their egos and they’d all pretended to like him for just long enough to screw him over. His heart had gone dead a long time ago and he’d never expected to actually feel the emotions he was having right now. His strong reaction to Bryan freaked him out.

“It’s nothing. I’m just thinking.”

Nichole took a bite of her apple and chewed, her eyes on him. She swallowed and took another bite. An uncomfortable feeling started deep in his gut and wound its way up to his brain.

Nichole cocked her head to the side, her eyes narrowed. “Are you two going to hook up and dump me?”

God, he hated the drama. Why did it always come to people wanting to pull him one way or another? “Nichole, you’re a nice girl but I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
