“Give me a good reason why I should.”
I take a cautious step toward her; the tanker is bigger than I expected. “Because I’m not here to shoot you, but I would like to fuck with Vero a little. Call it payback, if you will.”
“So you’re using me?”
I shrug. “Maybe. But maybe I am also curious. What is it about you that has Vero looking at you with hearts in his eyes?”
“You’re jealous,” she quips, and I laugh.
“Not exactly. I eliminate threats. Are you a threat to me, Double P?”
“No. If I thought I was causing issues, I would walk away. I want what you two have, but not at your expense.”
“Then I think we should give him a taste of his own medicine.”
She smiles and crosses the space, putting her paintball gun down. Then she presses her hands to my chest and pushes me backward until I am seated on a tiny bench seat that barely fits my ass, and she straddles my lap.
Before we get a chance to say or do anything more, a thump on the side of the tanker has us both looking toward the hatch. Vero’s head appears, his gaze moving from her to me and back again, then he grins. It’s unhinged, just the way I expected.
“Look at you two,” he says, before dropping himself inside headfirst and crashing to the floor. “My favorite person in the world and my new second favorite. And you’re already in position.”
He pushes up from the floor and moves toward us. With the three of us in here, the space feels a lot smaller than it did a minute ago. He stops behind Kayla and ducks his head down to the curve of her neck, his eyes finding mine over her shoulder. “Are we doing this?”
We become a tangle of bodies as I nod and reach for the hem of her tank. She lifts her arms up and I pull it over her head as Vero unclips her bra from behind. I pull her closer, and her hands slide up my chest, scrunching the material of my shirt as she gathers it up, then removes it completely. She runs her eyes over my chest as Vero moves his mouth down her spine. His hands come around to the front of her pants, popping them open, and between the two of us we get her out of her clothes.
Kayla sits back on my lap with zero self-consciousness, staring at me with blue eyes I swear are almost green, and I can understand why she has even Clay all up in his feelings. She is fucking stunning.
“You going to take those off?” she says, nodding at my pants.
“When I’m ready,” I growl, and as she raises a brow at me, Vero laughs silently against her shoulder blade.
I take my time, moving my hands over her body. It’s been so long since I enjoyed the feel of a female beneath me. I trace the lines of her tattoos, and she shivers beneath my touch.
Vero crouches behind her, watching the way my hands roam over her skin. “Look at her,” he says, running his hands up her sides. “Have you ever seen anything so beautiful in your lap?”
“Careful,” I warn him—he knows I hate it when he lessens how I feel about him.
He grins at me over her shoulder. “I’m just saying, look at her.” He turns his face into her neck. “You have no idea what it’s doing to me, watching you two together. I have been thinking about this for what feels like forever. It’s so much better than I pictured in my head. Ask Brawley how much I have been talking about it.”
“He talks about you constantly,” I confirm.
“Every single day,” Vero says against her skin, and his hands slide around her front and palm her breasts, taking over so my hands are now free to move to her thighs, spreading them wider across my lap. She lets her head fall back against his shoulder. “You have no idea how good you look right now.”
“Vero,” she whispers.
“Yeah?”
“Less talking.”
He laughs into her neck, then bites down softly, and she shivers. I run my hands up the inside of her thighs slowly, and she makes a frustrated sound in her throat.
“She’s impatient,” Vero tells me, like I didn’t hear the sound myself.
“I’m right here,” she says.
“Oh, I know exactly where you are,” I say, finally moving my hands where she wants them, and she exhales as I work her pussy until she is wet and squirming in my lap.
Vero watches over her shoulder with his bottom lip caught between his teeth.
