Chapter Twenty-three

Seth watched Leslie gather her composure before stepping away from the front door. If he’d had any remaining doubts about her commitment to the relationship, they would’ve been put to rest by the satisfaction on her face.

But he didn’t have any remaining doubts. Any reservations he might’ve felt had gone up in smoke when he’d woken that morning in a tangle of bare limbs belonging to all three of them. Waking slowly with Leslie’s firm backside pressed against his groin while she used Joshua’s shoulder for a pillow had given him a sense of contentment he’d never dreamed possible.

“Remind me to stay on your good side, sweetheart.” Joshua grinned. “When you decide to evict someone, you don’t kid around.”

“Me?” She poked him in the chest. “What about the way you two just worked some bizarre Jedi mind trick on her?”

“Mind trick?” Joshua gave her his best innocent look.

Leslie suddenly sobered, looking troubled. “What if you were wrong and Caleb’s grandparents aren’t willing to settle for visitation?”

Seth closed the distance between the two of them. “Don’t do that, Leslie.”

“Don’t do what?”

“Don’t try to anticipate everyone else’s problems so you can fix them.” He put his hands on her shoulders. “The Leslie who moved in a week ago would’ve taken Mikayla up on her offer in a heartbeat. She would’ve traded her own happiness without giving it a second thought.”

Pulling away, she wrapped her arms around her body. “It sounds like I was a lot less selfish back then.”

“You’re not selfish.” He captured her chin between his thumb and forefinger, coaxing her to meet his gaze. “You’ve done more for Niles than any friend has a right to expect. You cannot continually sacrifice your happiness for everyone else. It isn’t healthy for any of you.”

Joshua moved to stand behind her, rubbing his big hands up and down her arms. “If we’re wrong and we wind up in court, we have a very strong case in Niles’s favor if he’s standing on his own two feet. If that happens and we win, Niles is going to have the satisfaction of being in the right. He’ll have won because he’s the best one to raise his son, not because his friend was afraid to let him stand the test and made other arrangements.”

“Besides.” Seth lowered his head, brushing his lips against hers. “How could it be selfish when you refused to give up
our
relationship?”

“I love you.” She reached up and locked her arms around his neck. “I love both of you. How could I choose anything else?”

Emotion swirled inside Seth’s heart until love, lust, and everything else coalesced into a desire to show Leslie beyond doubt that the three of them belonged together.

She turned, including Joshua in her next words. “Take me to bed and love me. I need you both.”

They’d made love a dozen times in this bed. Somehow, this time seemed different.

Leslie didn’t know if it was because all their cards were on the table, or because the commitment between them all was such a tangible thing. The air was charged with electricity that heightened her senses and made her hyperaware of both Seth and Joshua in a way she’d never experienced before.

The afternoon light was dim, casting long shadows into the bedroom. Joshua had pulled back the duvet before Seth set her gently on the soft, silver sheets. When they stepped back to undress, she watched with hungry eyes.

Seth took the lead, boldly unbuttoning his shirt and tossing it aside. He watched her with his whisky brown gaze, gauging her appreciation as he unzipped his trousers and slid them down his long legs. He was an inch or two taller than his partner, with broad shoulders and arms corded with muscle. Her mouth watered as she took in the deep grooves on either side of his belly and the trail of dark hair arrowing down to the wiry nest of hair around his cock.

His shaft thickened and lengthened as she watched. The plum-shaped head grew dusky, and she knew if she reached out, the skin would be softer there than anywhere else. As if he could read her mind, his balls clenched and lifted against his body in their eagerness.

Beside him, Joshua was golden perfection. His blond hair was already tousled before he yanked his polo shirt over his head and flipped it back over one broad shoulder. A devilish grin turned up the corners of his sensual mouth, and Leslie found herself returning the infectious smile. Josh was leaner than his counterpart, though his musculature was no less impressive. Each groove of his body had been sculpted by divine design into a tempting package she didn’t even want to resist.

When he shucked out of his slacks and boxers, his cock was already standing at full attention. It bobbed against his belly as if waving to get her attention. The golden curls in his groin begged for her soft touch, and his testicles tightened in anticipation.

“Your turn.” Seth’s voice left no room for argument, though protest was the last thing on her mind.

Working as a team, they stripped her bare. Seth removed her double layer of shirts while Joshua slid her borrowed sweatpants down her legs. The clothing hit the floor in a heap, and her heart began to race. They were more than she ever could’ve imagined possible, and they were both hers. That thought alone was enough to make her dizzy. Sucking in a deep, unsteady breath, she gave herself over and reveled in the sensations.

They worked in perfect concert. Each taking a breast, they teased her nipples into hard points before taking the pouting buds into their mouths and suckling until she thought she’d explode. Nipping and licking, teasing and soothing, their ministrations had her stabbing her hands into their hair and begging them to stop while simultaneously demanding more.

They left her aching breasts, and Seth took her lips in a demanding kiss. His tongue swept inside her mouth and staked a claim that left her whimpering while Joshua’s tongue flicked its way down her body to the apex of her legs. He spread her thighs and nuzzled her tender mound before sliding his tongue between her folds.

She arched her hips, spreading her legs to give him better access. He pressed his fingers against her swelling labia and blew a stream of air over her exposed flesh. Her moan was lost in Seth’s mouth. Her pussy convulsed, and a creamy wave of fluid dampened her sex. Using the flat of his tongue, Joshua gave her a long lick from anus to clit, and Leslie abruptly came unraveled.

Her hips bucked upward, and Joshua caught them in his hands. Holding her motionless in his arms, he pushed her higher until her arousal was humming at a point just below pain.

Seth released her mouth, nipping her lower lip. “We’re going to take you, Leslie.”

Her belly clenched with desire.

“Joshua is going to fuck your pussy.” His lips brushed her ear. “And I’m going to bury my cock in your sweet ass.”

Any apprehension was overcome by the awareness ripping through her body. Joshua slipped his talented fingers through her slit in a rhythmic motion that sent her reeling over the edge of sanity. Wet and slick, her pussy was swollen and thick with her cream and his saliva. It wasn’t enough. She needed more.

Her intoxicating taste was eroding Joshua’s control. He had to bite his lip to keep from positioning his cock at her entrance and sliding it home. He wanted her so badly he was in physical pain.

Somehow he caught Seth’s intent gaze through the passion clouding his vision. It cleared his mind and sharpened his focus. This wasn’t about individual pleasure. This was about all of them. Leaving her pussy, Joshua rolled to his back on the bed. Moments later, Leslie was settled astride him.

Her hot slit spread wide over his erection, and the sensation of her slick heat against his engorged flesh dragged a moan from his throat. Focusing on her sweet face, he cupped her cheeks in his hands and pulled her down for a kiss.

Seth reached between them and wrapped his hand around Joshua’s cock. Joshua inhaled sharply and forced himself to keep still while his partner fit the broad head against Leslie’s tight opening.

“Take her, Josh.” Seth’s guttural tone revealed the threadbare state of his self-control.

Joshua groaned as his shaft pressed into Leslie’s warm channel. Her muscles welcomed him, urging him deeper. He flexed his hips, penetrating until his head bumped her sweet spot and he could go no farther. She gave a little sigh, and he struggled to keep control.

Seth watched over her shoulder while Josh began a measured thrust in and out of Leslie’s wet pussy. With her breasts pressed against his chest and her soft moans in his ear, each movement sent an agonizing streak of white-hot desire through his body.

Seth reached for a tube of lubricant on the nightstand. He applied a liberal amount to his cock before positioning himself behind Leslie.

Excitement whipped through Joshua’s body like a flash flood. They’d dreamed of this moment for long years. Now that it was here, he could only pray he had the stamina.

Leslie cried out when Seth penetrated her ass. Josh knew he would use his fingers first to help her relax. Jockeying his own position, Joshua slipped a hand between Leslie’s hips and found her throbbing clit. The tiny nub was distended, the hood pressed against his shaft as he thrust into her body. Using two fingertips, he worked the bundle of nerves until he could feel the muscles of her pussy gathering for climax.

As if waiting for that moment, Seth pushed the head of his cock past her anal opening. She stiffened, her body tensing against the intrusion.

A single tear streaked down her face. “I can’t do this.”

Josh touched the side of her face and caressed her lips with his thumb. “Yes, you can, sweetheart. You’ve taken Seth’s cock in your ass before. With both of us inside your body, you’ll be the bridge between us.”

She stilled, and he could see the desire flame to life in her eyes. “Kiss me, Joshua.”

She didn’t have to ask twice. Her lips parted, and he slipped his tongue inside her mouth. Each stroke mimicked the thrusts of his cock until she was making tiny sounds of pleasure that sent ripples of response throughout his whole body.

“Oh God.” Her back arched suddenly, and her pussy clamped down hard on his cock.

Joshua hissed, aware that she’d grown tighter. Seth’s groan told him his partner had breached her ass. Their legs tangled together, and Seth’s heavy testicles brushed his as they both thrust into Leslie. It was heaven on earth. Only a thin membrane separated their cocks as they both fucked the one woman who meant more than life.

“I can’t hold back, Josh.” Seth’s rough voice was punctuated by Leslie’s high-pitched cry.

His partner’s cock throbbed. Joshua felt the long vein as it spurted semen deep into Leslie’s anal passage. The pulsing sensation was more than he could handle. Clenching his teeth, he came with a shout as his cock poured seed into her channel. Her pussy quivered one last time and the long convulsions milked the last of his ejaculate from his body until he was bone-dry.

Seth pulled out and rolled to the side. His momentum tugged Joshua to his side as well, and the three of them lay in a tangle of sweat-slicked bare skin.

Tears dampened his shoulder. Concerned, Joshua pulled his cock free of her slick cunt. “What’s the matter, sweetheart?”

“Nothing.”

Seth rolled to his elbow and brushed a kiss across her shoulder. “Should I get up and grab you some water?”

“No, don’t go.” She took a few deep breaths. “I never imagined it could be like that.”

Joshua knew then that she’d felt it too. He and Seth locked gazes over her shoulder. “Like what?”

Her voice grew soft. “For just a moment, I couldn’t tell where I ended and the two of you began.”

There was vulnerability in her tone that found an answering chord inside Joshua’s heart. He’d spent years denying the need to be vulnerable. He’d always believed it was weakness. It wasn’t. What he felt was shared not only by his best friend but by this woman who’d filled a void he’d never known existed.

There will always be strength in numbers.

It was Seth who finally spoke. “This is the way it’s supposed to be. And this is the way it will always be from now on.”

“That’s good, because I think you two have spoiled me for anything else.”

“We’re never going to let you go, Leslie Hampstead,” Joshua murmured. “You belong to us, and we belong to you.”

“Then let’s do it again.” The corners of her beautiful mouth tilted upward. “After all, practice makes perfect.”
