David rocked against her, a little more of his shaft moving through her on each thrust. She could feel every detail, every push, pull, stretch, and nudge.
She tried to remember to breathe.
Reese stroked his fingertips over her cheek and she looked at him.
“You’re so brave,” he murmured.
Mati didn’t know what to say, her heart aching and chest tight.
“I thought I knew,” he continued. “I thought,there she is. This incredible, fierce person who has been my friend for years and years, and I loved her the whole time, as much as I thought I ever could, and you keep proving me wrong.”
Mati tried to smile, but it wobbled badly and she had to blink back the tears welling in her eyes.
Reese’s hands ran over her until they linked with David’s, clamped around her hips.
“You keep getting more beautiful,” he said quietly.
Mati blinked harder. Reese was breaking her apart, her chest cracked in two as his words wove into her brain. David’s lips skimmed over her shoulders and neck, each touch like a silent affirmation. She felt helplessly moved and overwhelmed, her defenses smashed.
She didn’t have to demur. To pretend to be less than she was or less than how Reese and David saw her. Maybe shewasmore beautiful today than she was yesterday. Hell, shefeltmore beautiful today than she had yesterday.
David and Reese lifted her up and filled her with confidence. Reese thought it was bravery, but he was wrong. She didn’t have to be brave, because they made whatever the three of them did okay. There was no daring in asking for what she wanted when she knew they’d give it if they could. And if they couldn’t, that was okay, too. It wasn’t about bravery. It was abouttrust.
David twisted his hips one last time and suddenly he was there, his cock buried in her to the hilt. Reese arched beneath her, his ability to hold still crumbling as David curled over and around them. He pressed his face into her neck and took a series of deep breaths.
God, had she felt powerful before? It had been nothing like this. She’d been in control and relishing it. Abandoning herself to it.
Now she gave it up. She let David and Reese take control, the roll of their hips and slide of their cocks sending wave after wave of joy rocketing through her. She hung there, suspended, blissful, and knew thatherewas the real power.
She was free to be herself, and she’d never felt morewhole.
David murmured encouragement and praise, their slick skin sliding together. His arms, planted on the bed, bulged with the effort to hold his weight off her and keep his hips moving.
Reese’s mouth hung open. He looked like he couldn’t quite believe his eyes. Hell, he looked like he couldn’t quite believeanyof his senses.
Something hot and tight coiled in Mati’s belly.
She touched David’s hip and he moved faster, plunging and withdrawing. Reese’s hips snapped up to meet each thrust, his eyes searching their faces for clues of what they needed and wanted, the flush on his cheeks spreading down his neck and across his chest.
Mati loved to see him so unhinged. He used to look like this when he was out in the world, away from his safe haven, and she’d felt the need to make it better, even if it meant bringing him home.
Now she wanted to see him look like this every day. She didn’t have to coax him to test his boundaries when he was happily running into the unknown. He looked as alive and as happy as she felt.
David dug his knees into the mattress and put more power into his thrusts. Mati clung to Reese and closed her eyes, blocking out everything but the explosion about to go off in her body. It tightened her spine and made her belly twist, and it wasperfect.
She filled up until she had to overflow.
She pressed her face to Reese’s shoulder and screamed as her orgasm tore through her, whiting out her brain. Muscles rippled and clamped around David and Reese and they still moved against them, adding to the seemingly limitless pleasure spiraling through her. It went on until she saw spots behind her eyelids, until her voice was hoarse and her breathing harsh. Until it was nothing more than gentle waves from their equally gentle movements.
Mati collapsed onto Reese and he held her while David carefully eased from her body. She sucked in a shaky breath and let it out slowly. The air caught in her throat when David slipped the plug back in. It barely stretched her at all now, though the anchor was still well set.
“What?” Mati groaned, astonished to feel a fresh zing through her foggy brain.
David knelt beside them and tucked his nose by her ear, rubbing his face in her undoubtedly disastrous curls. “We’re not done,” he said, mid-nuzzle.
Mati blinked up at him blearily. She took in the smile on his face and his hard cock, still in the condom.
Condom?She blinked again, her brain trying to piece together the clues.
