Hudson (16 page)

Brie cupped her skull.  “What don’t you want them to know?” 

“How alone I feel.  Isolated.  As if I could snuff out like
a light and only three people on the planet would even notice.”  She smiled
sadly.  “Maybe four now.”

Behind her, she was aware of Hudson’s complete stillness. 
Without asking, she knew Natalia was saying things he had never heard. 

She knew he
needed
to hear them.

“Do you want to know what I see?”  She nodded.  “I see a
woman who may not love easily but who loves fiercely.  A woman who would leave
her home in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve to help a friend who
needed her…in whatever capacity.”

She kissed her forehead lightly.  “I see a woman who has
incredible passion but may be stuck in stasis, because it is the way it always
has been, and isn’t certain how to change it.”  She planted a kiss on her
cheek. 

“Being different doesn’t make you dark or cold.  It makes
you meticulous about who you have in your life and how much of your heart will
be invested.  You’re picky; likely because of hurts and disappointments in your
past.”  Her fingers raked softly through the dark strands.

“I see a woman who may mistake
reserve
with
coldness
yet knew just what to say to a woman she barely knows to make her hurt less.” 
Her smile was gentle.  “Even made her tea.”

“You’re easy to care for, Brie.  Easier than anyone I’ve
ever met.”

She shook her head.  “No.  I think it’s probably timing. 
Whatever you needed five or twenty years ago is not the same as what you need
now.”  With a small shrug, she added, “There isn’t anything wrong with that. 
It’s alright to change, to grow.”

“You make it sound so simple.”

A small laugh bubbled up.  “That’s because it
is
simple.  If you don’t want to be the person you’ve been, you change.”  Her
smile was warm.  “You can’t get much simpler than that.” 

They moved closer to her, their bodies wrapped to her sides
and draped over her torso.  The fact that their shoulders touched made the
moment even more intimate. 

Each of them had a hand in her hair but Hudson’s was firm
where Natalia’s was gentle.  They lowered their mouths to kiss the corners of
hers, then her cheeks, and along either side of her jaw to her ears.  Hudson
lightly nipped her lobe and Natalia sucked it between her lips. 

The effect was powerful and immediate.  Brie’s hands rose to
wrap around their backs.  She loved to be touched and these two people were
very good at it.   

Kisses followed to her neck, the bend of her shoulder, and
her collarbone above her t-shirt until she was straining toward them, wanting
more. 

Hudson dropped his forehead on the pillow beside hers and
tightened his hands on her. 

“We have to wait.  You can’t go in for your procedure with
marks all over you, Brie.”  He inhaled the scent of her hair with a small
groan.  “You already have my fingerprints on your ass.  I don’t want you to be
embarrassed.” 

While she struggled to settle her breathing, Natalia petted
her stomach, hips, and thighs.  Their arms encircled her.  They were close and
Brie slowly came down, running her fingers through their hair softly, gently.

“Past those gruff exteriors you wear for the world, my god,
you’re so very warm.” 

She turned her face and kissed Natalia’s lips then did the
same to Hudson.  They pressed even closer and she smiled.  Fifteen minutes of
silent snuggles before she heard a sound from Hudson that had her chuckling. 

He cleared his throat carefully and asked, “Do you have
leftovers?”

“I do, Hudson.”  Giving him another kiss, she shimmied out
from between them and pulled her slippers on.  They were super-soft and shaped
like floppy bunnies.  “Don’t judge the slippers.” 

At the door to the bedroom, she glanced over her shoulder. 
Hudson and Natalia were sitting up, staring at her, and they were
breathtaking
. 
Moments before, she’d been nestled between them. 

“Wow.  Just…
wow
.”

She headed for the kitchen without another word, putting her
hair up in a messy bun on the way.  Two minutes later, Brie was pulling dishes
from the refrigerator when she heard the click of Natalia’s heels approaching
from behind and turned. 

Glancing up, she was again reminded of how short she was. 
Normally, five-nine, the other woman cleared six feet in her shoes. 

Natalia said nothing as she gathered Brie against her, one
hand along her back and the other at the base of her skull. 

The kiss she delivered was one that Brie thought came with an
unspoken message.  “
I want you just as much.
” 

She couldn’t stop herself from responding.  It seemed a lot
of time had passed when she broke the kiss and laid her forehead against
Brie’s. 

“I really like the slippers.”

Breathless, she replied, “A gag gift from my sister.  She’s
mortified that I wear them.”  Hudson leaned in the doorway, arms crossed over
his chest, watching them with a look of incredible hunger on his face.  “I…have
a question.”

“Anything, Brie.”  

“Will…this isn’t…I don’t want to cause problems between
you.  I would hate that.” 

The blush crept up her chest and neck, warming her face and
making her eyes bright.  She wanted them physically but ultimately,
their
relationship was far more important.

Even if they didn’t see that yet.

Hudson moved into the kitchen and Brie felt like her heart
was going to pound out of her chest.  He stepped behind Natalia and they were
the same height. 

“Nothing will come between us, Brie.  Before anything,
beyond anything, we’re friends.”  He put his hands on her shoulders and Natalia
kept her eyes on Brie. 

“It is obvious that we both want you.  There are qualities
you possess that draw us, inflame us, and make us want to crawl all over you
until you can’t remember your own name.”  Brie watched as his hands stroked
down the other woman’s arms to her hands. 

“We are willing, anxious even, to share you between us.”  He
crossed them behind her and Natalia left them in the position he placed them,
lightly gripping her elbows. 

“There are things I provide to Natalia – and that she
provides to me – that we’ve been unable to find completely in other lovers,
Brie.  Neither of us knows yet how you’ll react to those darker sides of our
sexuality.  Time will tell.” 

Hudson’s palms moved to Natalia’s stomach then up to cup her
breasts.  Brie unconsciously licked her lips.

“What we’re worried about, what we’ve talked about
endlessly, is whether
you
will be open to sharing
Natalia
with
me…and open to sharing
me
with Natalia.”  Keeping his eyes on Brie, he
placed his lips at Natalia’s ear and said firmly, “Spread your legs.” 

She did so instantly and Brie watched as Hudson began to
work the soft skirt up her thighs.  The length of Natalia’s legs was even more
pronounced in the heels and silk thigh-high stockings she wore.  The silk that
covered her mound was damp. 

His palm traced over the bare skin between the stockings and
the panties and Natalia’s breathing became more rapid.  When his fingertips
brushed over the damp fabric, Brie pressed her thighs together.  As he slipped
his hand inside Natalia’s panties, she bit her lower lip to keep from moaning. 

“You are not to come…until Brie gives you permission.”  His
fingers began a lazy circle and Brie knew he was working over her clit. 

Natalia’s breathing sped up and the muscles in her thighs
tightened and released several times.  Unable to stop herself, she reached up
to smooth Natalia’s hair from her cheek. 

“Does it bother you for me to be here, watching you?”

“No, Brie.  It makes it…harder…to hold back.  The affect you
have on me is so different.”  She inhaled carefully.  “Does it bother you that
Hudson is touching me like this?”  Brie shook her head slowly as Natalia
clenched her jaw to hold back her orgasm.  “Tell me…god, tell me what you’re
thinking.”

“That I want to touch you, too.”

She released a gasp followed by a low moan.  “Please touch
me.” 

Brie placed her hands on Natalia’s sides and stroked up to
cup the sides of her breasts.  She didn’t wonder at her blush, she’d never
touched another woman intimately. 

Moving to the buttons of the silk blouse, Brie loosened them
with shaking hands.  The pale pink lace of her bra was revealed and Brie kissed
the flushed skin above the scalloped edge. 

Enthralled by breasts that were so different from her own,
she unsnapped the center clasp and slowly peeled the lace away.  Bright pink
nipples drew her fingertips and furled so tightly that Brie’s mouth began to
water. 

“Yes.  Don’t stop.”

Stroking her palms gently along the outer curves, Brie took
a taut nipple between her lips and heard both Hudson and Natalia groan in
response.  As she began to suck, Natalia’s head dropped back on Hudson’s shoulder
and her entire body began to shake. 

“Don’t come.  Hold it back, Natalia.  She hasn’t given you
permission.”

The strain in Hudson’s voice as his fingers continued to
work over folds that were now
audibly
wet slammed into Brie’s brain and
she released the first nipple with a soft
pop
before moving to the
other. 

This time, she tugged the tight peak with her teeth before
she sucked it and felt Natalia’s legs begin to lose their ability to hold her
up. 

Around the furled tip, she sighed.  “Please come for us,
Natalia.” 

There was an instant tightening of the other woman’s entire
body then a sharp gasp as she let the orgasm claim her.  Brie wrapped one arm
around Natalia alone and the other as far as she could reach around Hudson. 
She continued to suck gently on the sweet nipple in her mouth until the the
climax eased and Natalia could breathe again. 

Letting go, she licked over the tip with her tongue then
planted open-mouth kisses up her chest and neck.  Pulling her face down, she
claimed lips that were the same perfect pink as her nipples.  Hudson’s warm
hand cupped her head and tugged her to the side.  Pressing Natalia between
them, he kissed Brie aggressively. 

When he broke the kiss, he lifted the fingers that were
slick with Natalia’s essence and painted her lips with her own flavor before
kissing it away.  Brie clasped his hand, holding it still to sample what
another woman tasted like. 

Growling, Hudson’s face jerked sideways to stare at her. 
“Suck.” 

With wide eyes, she took the tips of both fingers into the
heat of her mouth.  His thumb gripped the underside of her jaw and he stroked
his fingers slowly in and out between her lips as she sucked the sweet tang
from them.

Natalia’s eyes concentrated on the interaction.  “Brie, you
have such perfect lips.”

She didn’t realize her eyes had drifted closed until Hudson
said, “We need to stop before I insist on having them wrapped around my cock.” 
He pulled his fingers away and watched as a little frown appeared between
Brie’s eyes.  “Tell me, Brie.”

Her eyes flicked down and she took in the sight of Natalia’s
breasts again.  She still hadn’t moved from the position Hudson put her in. 
Reaching up, she cupped them in her hands, her thumbs smoothing gently over the
still-tight nipples. 

Natalia moaned softly and Hudson said her name. 

Meeting his eyes, she said, “I enjoy sharing Natalia with
you, Hudson.”  She continued massaging the modest mounds as she spoke.  “She’s
beautiful, so different from my own body.  I like the way she looks, smells,
sounds, feels…tastes.  I never even considered…”  Her voice trailed away. 

Hudson provided, “That you’d be sexually attracted to a
woman?  I doubt it would be the same with just any woman.”

Meeting Natalia’s eyes, she said softly, “I
know
it
wouldn’t be.”  Brie lifted one hand to comb through her hair.  “Will you stay
this way until he gives you permission to move?”  She nodded with a small
smile.  “It makes it more intense for you, doesn’t it?”

“Yes.  More than anything, placing my pleasure in someone
else’s hands gives me the freedom to take in, to do nothing more than experience.”

“Are you ever the dominant?”

“Many times,” she said.  “Usually with women.”

“Have you been with a lot of women?”

“Never anyone like you, Brie.  Never anyone who even came
close.”

Still caressing, she asked what she wanted to know.  “How
would you be with me?”

“I think we need to learn what you like, Brie.  You’re open,
honest in your reactions.  There may be times, like today, where you prefer a
more dominant role where I’m concerned but I can see definite submissive
tendencies with Hudson.” 

“I’ve only been with two people other than Hudson and…now
you.  I don’t know anything.”

“You know so much more than you think, Brie.  You are one of
the most naturally sensual people I’ve ever known.” 

Hudson’s hands covered Brie’s.  “Natalia will always tell
you if you go too far.  Try alternating a soft touch with a firmer one.”  Squeezing
the nipples between their combined hands, Natalia responded by rocking her hips
forward.

Experimentally, Brie pressed with her own hips and Natalia
moaned.  Focusing on Brie’s face, she whispered, “I want you to come.”

“Brie.”  She stared at Hudson’s face.  “Either of us touches
you and we won’t stop.”  His eyes flicked to Natalia’s breasts and his hands
followed, squeezing them.  “You’re already wet from sucking her nipples, aren’t
you?”

“Yes.”

He stared at her for a long moment.  “We’ll try for some
gentle play.”  To Natalia, he added, “You have to spot me.  I won’t leave more
bruises on her.”  She nodded.  “Relax.” 

He kissed her neck and she brought her feet together while
dropping her arms.  The moment she stepped away from his chest, Hudson pulled
Brie roughly between them.
