“Tonight?” The thought made me breathless, and I could feel pressure building between my legs.

“Are you in?” Sawyer asked eagerly. “Is this really what you want? All three of us, together and apart?”

I nodded again, quivering with excitement at the prospect of three men wanting me. Not the way Charlie did, as an arm piece and a political move. They just flat out wanted me. And I wanted them. “I’m in.”

“This isn’t a one-night thing,” Holden said. “We’re not talking about a foursome. We’re talking about a relationship. All of us being together. Maybe for a long time. We don’t just want to claim your body, Amber. We want your heart and soul to belong to us, too.”

I almost told them it already did. But it seemed awfully soon to be talking about love.

“You realize if there’s gossip, people will be harsher to you,” Waylon warned.

I remembered my mother telling me to grow up, that I should know life wasn’t fair. Well, she sure had picked a good place to send me. I was about to do all kinds of growing up.

“The three of us will do everything we can to protect you from that, and make sure it doesn’t happen,” Sawyer said. “If we don’t react to the idle gossip, it’ll go away. And if we don’t feed it, it won’t come back.”

I thought of Mrs. Grimes out there in her cabin, nosing around and trying to see through the window.

“Then we’ll be careful,” I said. “But I want to do this. With all of you.”

I still couldn’t believe they were okay with sharing. I kept waiting for the punchline, or to wake up from this dream. I’d gone from a guy who wouldn’t even touch my boobs to three guys who looked like they had their hearts set on devouring every inch of me.

“So,” Sawyer said, scooting even closer, draping his arm across my the back of the couch. “How about that taste we mentioned earlier?”

Amber

I gulped. “A…taste?”

Sawyer’s eyes flicked down and then back up, and he grinned. “Yeah. Just a sample of what’s to come. For all four of us.”

“Okay,” I whispered, my heart hammering.

Holden scooted closer on my other side. “Don’t worry,” he said, his muscular arm sliding around me and pulling me close. “You don’t have to do anything you’re not ready for.”

I gulped. If I was going to do this, I might as well do it all the way. I was so fucking ready. “Okay,” I said. “What do I need to do?”

“Just relax and enjoy,” Sawyer said with a wink.

Holden massaged my shoulder, his eyes serious. “The second you want to stop, just say the word and we’ll stop, no questions asked.”

“No safe word?”

“How about stop?” Sawyer asked. “Just tell us, and we’ll stop. Relax, Princess. We’re all adults here. We can control ourselves.”

I looked up at Waylon, who had moved to stand beside the fire, his face blank as a statue’s. I had to work harder to read him, studying his dark eyes. The rest of his face gave nothing away. “Who goes first?” I asked.

The other brothers looked to Waylon, too.

“That’s your call, Princess,” he said.

Craptastic. I didn’t want to decide that. I’d never even been naked in front of a guy. And now these three gorgeous men who all had experiences beyond my imaginings were asking me to choose what I wanted.

“I’s okay, Am,” Holden said, turning my face towards him. “We can just play it by ear.”

I’d thought Waylon would step in and take control, claim me first because he was oldest. But he only stood at the fire, watching as Holden’s lips skimmed over mine. Sawyer scooted closer, but he didn’t touch me.

My heart skipped as Holden’s lips claimed mine again, more firmly this time. He shifted his position, kneeling between my knees. This was it. My heart skipped in my chest, but Holden tugged me forward, kissing my lips again. His tongue pressed between my lips, sweeping over mine. Suddenly, I couldn’t wait. Warmth built between my legs, pressure and anticipation flooding through me as his tongue tasted mine. I could just imagine how it would feel between my other lips.
