Insatiable (14 page)

Sarah quirked her head. “What have you been doing during your threesomes?”

“Well, they’ve really just been sharing me. You know, first one, then the other. I mean touching me at the same time, but … it’s more like they’re taking turns.”

Sarah nodded. “I see.” She leaned forward as if to share a confidence. “Have you ever had anal sex?”

“Um … yes, I have. With my ex-husband. But … I didn’t really like it.”

Sarah nodded again. “Is it possible he rushed it a little too much or…” She gazed at Crystal kindly. “Maybe you didn’t totally trust him? I don’t mean that he’d purposely hurt you, but … maybe you weren’t as in sync as some lovers are. I mean, you are exes, after all.”

“Are you saying that if I really trust Brent and Evan”—which Crystal knew she did—“that it would be different?”

“Definitely. At the very least, you’d be more relaxed. If you know they want to please you, and you trust that they can read your signals, then you won’t worry that they’ll go too fast or push you past your comfort zone.” Sarah rested her hand on Crystal’s arm. “I know a lot of people have issues with anal sex, but it’s really incredibly pleasurable.” She watched Evan, his muscular form gleaming in the sun as he raced along the beach to catch the Frisbee Brent tossed to him. “I’ve sure been missing it lately.”

Crystal glanced at her. “Why?” Immediately, she felt self-conscious at having asked the question.

An impish grin claimed Sarah’s lips. “You saw Kade yesterday, right? Well, I am adventurous, but I’m not quite ready to take on that enormous piece of equipment.”

“Oh.” Crystal could think of nothing else to say. She had trouble imagining a modest-size erection gliding inside her there, let alone someone as enormous as Kade. Not that either Brent or Evan could be considered “modest.” They both had deliciously generous penises, but Kade … his was in a whole different league.

Sarah took off her sunglasses and, leaning back in her chair, gazed at Brent and Evan. She nibbled on the arm of the glasses, watching them throw their Frisbee back and forth.

“You know, I have a suggestion that might help both of us.”

At the intent interest in Sarah’s eyes as she watched the men, Crystal’s curiosity soared.

“And what’s that?” she asked.

Sarah glanced in her direction and smiled. “Well, you seem to want more excitement in your sexual experiences, as attested to by the fact that you enjoyed watching Kade and me last night.…”

“I didn’t say I enjoyed—”

“It got you excited, right?”

Crystal couldn’t deny it.

“So, given you like to watch, and given that I’d love to have anal sex, and DP even more, I was thinking that … maybe you could loan me your two men.”

Fifteen

Crystal’s jaw dropped. She didn’t know what she had expected, but it wasn’t that.

“Just think about it for a minute,” Sarah said. “You’re all finding it awkward having a threesome. It would help all of you having someone experienced guide you, especially if you haven’t done DP before. The guys could get practice with me, then you get the advantage. And you’d be there watching. That way it won’t be like they’re cheating on you, and you can see how exciting it can be.”

“What about Kade? Won’t he mind you being with other men?”

Sarah waved away Crystal’s question. “Kade and I have a very casual relationship. We’re more like close friends who sometimes have sex. Neither of us has been in a relationship for a while, so we decided to do this vacation together. He absolutely will not mind if I have sex with your two guys.”

“This is crazy. Even if I agreed, they’d never agree.”

Sarah laughed. “Are you kidding? They’re guys. You’d be offering them the chance to have a threesome with no strings attached. And with your approval. Of course they’ll agree.” She smiled. “Especially if you say it’s going to help you.”

Crystal glanced at her two men. They’d dropped the Frisbee on the sand and were now walking waist-deep in the water, sun glistening on their damp hair and broad shoulders.

She had no doubt they both loved her and wanted to be with her more than any other woman, but she had to admit that if she made the offer to them—that they could be with Sarah without affecting their relationship with Crystal—they’d be interested. She wasn’t sure if they’d actually follow through, but if she could convince them she was totally okay with it … they probably would.

Still, with all the emotional drama going on, now didn’t seem like the best time to be experimenting like this.

“I think we need to get our situation worked out before adding another person to the mix,” Crystal said. “The idea definitely sounds intriguing, but it’s not good timing.”

Sarah shrugged. “Suits me, but keep in mind—if you’re trying to figure out which guy is truly compatible with you, then you shouldn’t hide your true desires. Let your freak flag fly, as they say. The right man will come and join you.”

Crystal nodded, but she wasn’t so sure. Brent was definitely the more conservative of the two men, and even though he might not be as adventurous as Evan, that didn’t mean she and Brent weren’t a good match. On the other hand, would it be possible now that she had walked a little on the wild side that she would start to feel stifled by Brent? Sure, Brent had pushed into new territory when he’d dragged her off to make love on the beach with him and Evan, but she had a feeling his taste for adventure would be short-lived, ending with the end of this vacation.

“And just so you know, I would be totally amenable to you borrowing Kade,” Sarah said. “I bet you’re curious about what it would be like to ride that big cock of his.”

“Oh, no, that’s not necessary. I mean, I already have two men and—”

Sarah raised her hand. “Don’t worry about it, honey. The offer’s there if you want it.”

Oh, great, now Crystal couldn’t get the image of that big cock out of her mind. The thought of it sliding into her, stretching her, sent her blood boiling.

“So you’ll think about it?” Sarah asked.

“Think about what?”

Crystal jumped at Brent’s voice. Her attention on them had wavered, and she hadn’t realized they’d been walking back.

Sarah smiled. “I just asked Crystal if I could borrow something, but I think she needs a little time to decide.”

Brent glanced at Crystal. She shifted in her chair. Thankfully, he didn’t ask what Sarah wanted to borrow.

*   *   *

“So what did she want to borrow?” Evan asked as he followed Crystal through the back gate, Brent right behind them.

Crystal hesitated.

“You don’t have to loan her something if it makes you uncomfortable.” Evan didn’t like the look of panic in Crystal’s eyes.

She glanced at him, then drew in a deep breath. “It does make me a little uncomfortable, but that’s not a good reason not to do it.”

“Why do I get the impression this isn’t really about loaning her something?” Brent’s eyebrow quirked up.

“It is. It’s just that, what she wants me to loan her is…” She glanced at Brent, then Evan. “You.”

“Me?” Evan asked.

“Actually, both of you. She said she’d love to have a threesome with the two of you.”

“What the hell?” Brent’s jaw dropped.

Evan’s groin tightened at the thought of the beautiful blonde stripping off her bikini bottom and lying naked on the white sand, inviting him and Brent to ravish her.

“While I watch,” Crystal continued.

His cock swelled at the thought of driving into the blonde while Crystal cheered him on.

“She was joking, though, right?” Evan asked. The woman couldn’t be serious. Women didn’t just discuss borrowing other women’s men. On the other hand, a week ago he never would have thought Crystal would embrace a threesome with Brent and him, either.

“No, she’s totally serious. And I’m wondering if”—she shrugged—“I don’t know, maybe it would help us all relax a bit about the situation we’re in.”

“The situation?” Evan asked, eyebrows raised.

“Yeah. The fact that I’ve had sex with both of you is making things weird between us. But”—she gazed at each of them—“sex is just sex, and if we can look at this whole thing as just an exciting and fun interlude we shared, maybe this won’t have to hurt our friendship. No matter which of us winds up together … I’m hoping we can keep our friendship intact.”

Evan did, too.

“What does us being with Sarah have to do with this?” Brent asked, his expression closed.

“Having a threesome with Sarah might put things into perspective. You can have a threesome with her, and since you don’t have feelings for her, your emotions won’t get in the way. Then later, when you think back on this vacation, no matter which of us winds up being a couple, we can all look back on this trip as a time of experimentation and sharing.”

“I think you feel a little guilty about sleeping with more than one man,” Evan said with a teasing grin, “and hope that sending us off to another woman will even things out.”

She smiled. “Well, no matter what, if you decide to go for it, at least you two will have a little fun.”

“It would be a nice distraction.” Evan grinned at Brent. “What do you say, buddy? Sharing a woman? And since we don’t have an emotional attachment to Sarah, we can just relax and enjoy it.”

“Crystal, are you saying you’d be okay with this?” Brent asked.

She glanced at him thoughtfully. “I don’t know. I think…” She shrugged. “Maybe I would be.”

The next afternoon, Crystal opened the lock with the combination Sarah had given her, then stepped through the gate, conscious of Brent and Evan following close behind. They walked up some stone steps until they came to a path that led past some foliage and then opened up to a pool area. Sarah sat in a chair by a rectangular glass patio table, looking dazzling with her long waves of golden hair glittering in the sunlight, caressing her sun-kissed shoulders. She wore a turquoise bikini with a sheer floral sarong and an underwire top that pushed her full breasts up and out. The men’s gazes locked on her as she turned and smiled, glowing like an angel.

Good God, beside Sarah, Crystal doubted the men would even notice she existed anymore.

“Hello.” Sarah smiled. “I’m glad you could come. Please come and sit.”

Crystal walked toward the table and sat down beside Sarah. Brent and Evan sat across from her.

“I’ve made piña coladas. Is that okay for everyone?” Sarah asked.

“Absolutely,” Brent said.

“Fine with me,” answered Evan.

Crystal simply nodded when Sarah glanced her way. Both men watched as Sarah walked toward the bar, where she had a pitcher of drinks all ready. She poured the frothy white liquid, then returned to the table with four tall glasses on a tray. She set it down and handed a glass to each of them. Crystal sipped, barely noticing the sweet coconut-pineapple combination.

Sarah leaned back in her chair and chatted to the men about the island and other things that Crystal didn’t really hear because her heart thundered loudly as she wondered if she’d done the wrong thing in bringing Brent and Evan here. Maybe she’d become too comfortable … too certain that the men were hers no matter what.

Too arrogant.

Both Brent and Evan seemed captivated with Sarah, their attention fully on her as if Crystal didn’t even exist.

A pang of irritation shot through her. Well, the hell with it. If they could be pulled from her so easily, that just proved they didn’t have what it took to go the distance in a relationship with her. And at the same time, a little voice gnawed at her that she was overreacting. The men were simply paying attention to a pretty woman.

Crystal glanced at Sarah again. Okay, a fabulously stunning woman. It was only natural.

Still, it rankled.

She took a deep sip of her piña colada, feeling the burn of the rum in her throat, and she drew back her shoulders. She’d told Sarah she was willing to share Brent and Evan, if they agreed, and she wouldn’t back down on that now.

Another sip of her drink and she realized it was empty.

“It looks like you could use a refill,” Sarah said, and stood up.

“It’s okay. I’ll get it.” Crystal stood and walked toward the bar, but Sarah followed her.

As Sarah filled her glass, she murmured, “You seem a bit nervous.”

Crystal glanced at Sarah’s jade green eyes. “I’m just … not sure how we’ll get this started. No matter what we do, it seems it’ll be really awkward.”

Sarah’s lips turned up in a devilish smile. “Not necessarily. Are you willing to follow my lead? No matter what I suggest?”

Thoughts of Kade appearing … of his huge erection that had haunted her fantasies …

“If it involves Kade, I…”

“Honey, I know you’re not ready for that … yet. No, just the four of us.”

Crystal stared into those jade eyes. She had no idea what Sarah would ask her to do, and that excited her. This was a chance to take a walk on the wild side. She nodded, then returned to the table and sat down.

Sarah returned to her chair but didn’t sit down. She untied the sarong wrapped loosely around her hips, then drew it free. Brent’s and Evan’s gazes locked on her long, tanned legs. She turned around, revealing a perfectly rounded, heart-shaped derriere, left naked by her thong bikini. Her hips swayed seductively as she walked toward the pool.

Once there, she turned around. “You don’t mind if I go native, do you?” She reached behind her to the clasp on her bathing suit top and waited.

Of course, they’d already seen her topless, but something about being naked in a private yard made it seem much more intimate.

“Uh … I don’t mind,” Evan said.

Brent turned to Crystal with a questioning glance.

“Um … sure. Go for it,” Crystal said.

They all watched in anticipation as Sarah’s hands fiddled behind her back, then the top loosened slightly around her ribs. She smiled broadly, then turned around. With her back toward them, she slipped the thin bathing suit straps off her shoulders, then tossed the top onto the stone deck of the pool.

She stepped into the water and down a couple of steps until the glittering liquid swished around her calves, then she glanced back over her shoulder and smiled at them.
