“Get in here,” Ares said, his voice less forceful than I expected.
She gulped but stepped inside. The doors closed behind her. “Sure. Anyway, I can understand you’re all upset with me, and, well—” She thrust the paper at me.
I unfolded it, scanned the first line, and felt my eyebrows arch. “Your resignation?”
“Well, it’s obvious I can’t stay.”
Ares reached past me and pulled the elevator key, locking us in place between floors. The sudden stop made Tashi stumble. Leo steadied her with a hand on her elbow.
“Nothing is obvious to us,” Ares said. “So, you need to clear up something.”
“Yes,” Leo added, still holding her arm. “Which one of us do you want?”
Her eyes went wide. “You’re not angry?”
“We’re angry with each other,” I said carefully. “But not you. We’ve never dated the same woman. So rather than beating each other bloody?—”
“Which we suspect,” Leo said with a smile, “would bother you greatly.”
“Wouldn’t bother me,” Ares muttered.
I ignored him. “You must make a choice.”
Tashi’s face crumpled. She glanced between us, then down at her hands. “I can’t. How can I? You’re all so wonderful. If I’m forced to choose just one of you, it would break my heart.”
The elevator hummed around us. Tashi stepped forward to position herself between us. She put her hand on Leo’s chest. “How can I not choose a man who brings so much fun to my life?” Then she laid her fingers on Ares’ chest. “Or the man who twists my sheets around me?”
She finally turned to me. “Or the man with so much calm, he makes everything seem all right?”
She met each of our eyes. “Gentlemen, it’s impossible.”
The air in the elevator was thick with a mix of our colognes and sweat from us standing so close together. Tashi’s perfume added a hint of sweetness to the air.
“We’ll see,” I said.
I reached for her chin and pressed my mouth to hers, desire sharp and immediate, driving my actions. My heart thudded in my chest as she responded eagerly, her tongue sweeping my mouth and sliding against my tongue.
Leo and Ares stepped forward so they pressed against her too. Leo’s arm wrapped around her waist from behind, his hand resting possessively on her hip, while Ares’s hand ran up and down her opposite arm. Her breathing was shallow, and I could hear her heart beating rapidly.
“Tell me what you want,” Leo murmured in her ear.
“What do I have to do for you?” Ares asked.
I leaned down until my lips were near her ear. “Tell us who you desire most.”
Her breath hitched. “All of you,” she whispered.
“Are you sure?” Leo asked. Then he nibbled on her neck, and she whimpered.
“When you could have someone who will pound you every way I can?” Ares asked. He tweaked her breast, and she gasped.
“Yes, to all of you,” she said between jagged breaths.
“Now?” I whispered.
“God, yes.”
I stroked her stomach as she leaned into my shoulder. She reached for my belt buckle and yanked it open. The sound of my belt and pants hitting the floor resulted in Ares and Leo doing the same for themselves.
