“It’s not working,” Jasper cried after a few moments. “I’m calling for an am?—”

“Bee,” Finn muttered, his speech clearer.

“I know. We got you, Finn. You’re going to be okay.” Jasper shuffled closer, cupping Finn’s cheek and rubbing his thumb up and down. “How are you feeling?”

“Nice.” He wriggled in my hold, his eyes still firmly closed. I froze, realising he was between my thighs, and I didn’t hate it. Jasper looked at him with such reverence. I waited for my jealousy to hit again, but it didn’t. Instead, warmth spread through my chest. A feeling I didn’t understand.

“You’ve just been stung by a bee and fainted. Are you sure you’re okay?” Jasper asked, his voice soft as he lowered his hand.

“No, I hurt like hell,” Finn mumbled. “My throat is on fire, but this bed is nice.”

I chuckled. “Not a bed, Twinkle.

He twisted slowly, looking up at me, and then groaned, “Oh great,” before righting himself. “Why am I half naked? What did you both do to me?”

“I gave you your EpiPen.”

“Right. And you had to undress me, why?”

Jasper’s eyes widened. “I didn’t know if it would work through your trousers.”

“And I had no clue what was going on. I thought that damn corset was too tight or had punctured a lung.”

“I’m sorry to be an inconvenience.” He tried to push himself up from the floor, but, whether he was weak or because of the disarray of his clothes, he slumped back into my lap.

“Whoah,” Jasper cried, getting to his feet. “Let me help.” He held out his hands, helping him stand. Finn looked unsteady on his feet and a little strange with his shirt half hanging off and his trousers now around his ankles.

“Trav, come and help Finn for a second.” His gaze landed on Finn. “Can I go in your room?”

“Erm, I guess.”

I stood.

“Make sure he doesn’t fall,” he instructed. I placed my hands on Finn’s hips, the feel of his silky soft skin under my fingers sending a bolt of something I wasn’t expecting to my cock.

“I’ll be fine,” he mumbled as he tried to step out of my hold.

“Oh, no, Twinkle. I’ve been given a job, and I won’t be letting you fall flat on your face on my watch.”

He tried to wiggle free, so I stepped up closer, pressing my body against his, which apparently was something I liked the feel of because I’d missed the weight of him pressed against me when he stood. I brought my lips close to his ear. “Stay still.”

“I don’t have to listen to you.”

I almost smiled at how bratty he sounded.

“You will, and you will thank me for it while you do.”

“Arsehole,” he whispered almost inaudibly, making me chuckle.

“I’m back.” Jasper appeared in front of us, pausing for a second as his eyes bounced between us. “Wow.” He swallowed hard before licking his lips, then he shook his head and held out something black. “Let me help you put this on.”

Jasper dropped to his knees and looked up at us through his long fair lashes just as Finn leant back, his tight, round arse pressing against my cock as I let out a long, low groan.

FINN

I felt ridiculous.Stung by a bee, nearly dying of anaphylaxis, waking up half dressed, and now, about to spring a boner because I was sandwiched between two hot men… even if one was vile and the other one had made me cry.

I breathed in and out, trying to calm the excitement flooding my body as Jasper took hold of my calf, slipped off my shoe, and then eased the leg of my trousers off before repeating the same on the other side. I could just about cope with the attention if Travis then didn’t push his hands over my shoulders, his fingers dancing over my skin as he slipped the thin material of my shirt down my arms, where Jasper took over, tugging it off and adding it to the pile of my things now on the floor.
