My god, kill me now. I turned around to give Mateo a wide-eyed look, but he kept that easy smile, his attention fully on Levi.

Although . . .

My brain short-circuited at the thought of the two of them doingthingsto me. With me. Kissing me, touching me?—

“I have to go,” Levi said shortly.

I turned back around. Levi was already off the front porch, his shoulders stiff as he crossed the street and headed straight for his front door.

Well, great.

I turned around and shoved Mateo back inside, scowling as I shut the door.

“What the hell was that?” I asked.

“He wants you,” Mateo said simply. “It’s pretty clear.”

I didn’t know what to say to that. I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out.

Mateo raised a brow. “Are you interested in him too?”

I felt like I was about to ruin everything by being honest. But then again, this was Mateo. I knew I could tell him anything, even if it wasn’t what he wanted to hear.

“Yes. I am interested in Levi. I doubt he’s interested in me, though. I don’t even know if he likes me.”

“Oh, I think he does.” Mateo crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. “What if I told you I’m interested in him too?”

My mouth dropped. I stared at him for a moment, and then let out an incomprehensible noise. “Well,” I squeaked. “You have told me before you don’t mind sharing.”

“I don’t mind with the right person.” His mustache lifted as he offered me a shy smile. “I don’t know, Avery. There’s a certain kind of tension between the three of us when we’re together. Clearly.”

“There is.”

We were both silent for a moment. Oh god. It hit me that Levi had just caught us in the middle of sex. I let out a soft giggle.

“Qué?”

“Nothing. If that were anyone else, we would have been in trouble. Also, I think I’m being greedy by liking the idea of having two boyfriends.”

Mateo stepped closer and planted an easy kiss on my lips. “Then I’m greedy by wanting a girlfriend and a boyfriend.”

“Is it greedy? In this economy?”

He laughed as he pinned me against the wall. His fingers curled into my hair and he gave me a gentle tug, the feeling of it going straight to my pussy.

A soft moan left me. I arched slightly, all of the bubbly excited energy between us melting into something hotter, needier.

“Do you like the idea of him fucking you with me?” Mateo whispered in my ear.

“Yes,” I gasped.

Fuck. I liked that more than I cared to admit.

“He may not even be interested in me,” Mateo murmured. “Although, I know he wants you.”

“Why do you think that?”

I sucked in another breath as I felt his cock hardening against me. I reached down between us and slid my hand into his jeans, closing my hand around him.
