Yes, No, Maybe (8 page)

“Hell yes. I’ve been wanting you for years, Mia, you should know that.”

“We haven’t known each other that long.”

“Kevin—“ Nick looked at his friend who nodded his assent. “Kevin used to tell me about you. When you

met, you know that car crash? I was on bed rest after a nasty injury. I was stuck here with nothing to

do and Kevin thought he could, ah, entertain me with his escapades.”

“He told you about us?”

“Everything,” Kevin helpfully added, dropping a kiss on her hair to mitigate his announcement.

“Everything?” She cringed. “Even the—“

Nick got there first. “Supermarket. Club. The fact he was the first one to take you up the ass.”

She gasped at his words. It felt too weird hearing him say these things. “I don’t know what to say.”

“You don’t have to say anything, baby. It was just to make you understand why tonight is happening.

Why I’ve been wanting you for so long, craving what Kevin got as I laid there, unable to move. And

then I met you but you were both so in love, I knew I didn’t have a chance.”

“And now we’re married.” She felt obliged to add that important piece of information.

“So you are. But you’ve answered the List and you did say you wouldn’t mind having a threesome.

Well, with two men, at least,” Kevin said, his voice sharp. “Right, baby?”

“You showed him the List.”

It wasn’t even a question but Nick nodded anyway. “Is that a problem?”

“It was private!”

“I’ll be inside you before night falls, Mia. Do you really think it matters?”

Her eyes wide, she stared unblinking at the man she’d thought she knew. Guess she’d been wrong.

“I’ll go get changed,” Kevin announced, just before pushing her off his lap. “Be back in a few.”

Mia stood there, still in shock, as she watched her husband exit the room, clearly leaving them alone to get better acquainted. What the hell was happening? She took a deep breath and said, “I should go get

changed too.”

“What’s the point?”

“What?”

“You’re gonna be naked soon anyway, right?”

She took a step back and bumped into the sofa, her knees giving out. She found herself sitting once

more, her gaze on the man she’d thought was her friend. “You’re scaring me, Nick.”

He froze at her words and exhaled. “I’m sorry.” He made his wrists pop, shaking the stress away as best

he could. “It wasn’t my intention. It’s just…I’ve been waiting for a long time for an opportunity like this, baby, and I can’t believe it’s finally here.”

This wasn’t happening! This was a dream, just a fantasy based on what’d happened the night before.

She was sleeping, she was sure of it. “I’m just me, Nicky. I’ve seen the women you’ve dated across the

years, I’m not your type.”

“Yes, you are. When I settle down, I’d like someone just like you.”

“Okay, that’s even worse. I’m outta here.” She stood up swiftly and turned to leave, her exit stopped

by his voice.

“Don’t you want to know how it could be between us?”

Chapter Thirteen: One, Two, Three

“I’m happily married, Nick. I love Kevin!”

“I’m not saying the contrary,” he said, stepping right behind her. “I love Kevin too, he’s my best friend.”

She whirled around, her eyes flashing. “Then why are you doing this?”

“I want you!”

“That doesn’t explain anything! It’s just your body’s reaction to what happened yesterday or what

Kevin’s told you over the years. It’s just lust, Nick. Surely you can control it?”

“Why should I?” He grasped her hips. “Tell me this, Mia, why should I control myself?”

“Because I don’t want this.”

He snorted. “Sure you don’t.”

“I don’t!”

“Tell me you’re not wet right now.”

She gasped. “I can’t believe you just asked me that. For pity’s sake, Nick, don’t you see? This is going to ruin our friendship and for what? One night together?”

He smiled, a sad smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “So that’s your problem. This, tonight, won’t stop us from being friends, Mia. I promise you that.”

“How can you promise me anything? You’re so full of shit, you just want to get laid!” She jerked his

hands off of her.

“Can’t you see?” His voice was harsher than she’d ever heard it before. “It’s not gonna change anything

because I’ve always been fucking you in my mind! Except now I’ll be remembering instead of

fantasizing but it’s the same thing!”

“No, it’s not!” She crossed her arms over her chest, wondering when Kevin will finally decide to make

an appearance. “You’re one of my best friends, Nick, my best guy friend and here you are, proclaiming

tonight won’t change matters but how can you know that? No one can because we haven’t done

anything yet!”

“Then let’s do something!” he snapped back. His hand shot out, palming her nape and pulling her

forward. Their mouths met with a bang, his teeth nearly cutting into her lips. He gentled the kiss once

he was inside her, tangling his tongue around hers almost leisurely.

Mia held herself stiffly, almost leaning back so she wouldn’t touch him. But his touch was arousing and

she almost hated him for it. He was a good kisser, damn it! She found herself responding to him, her

stance mellowing as his other hand slid down her back in a slow caress.

He broke the kiss and drew back, gazing at her until she opened her eyes and met his stare. “All right?”

She nodded, too confused to say anything. And that’s when Kevin decided he could join them again.

“Had fun without me?” A hard chest was suddenly pressed against her back.

She jerked in surprise, feeling ashamed that she’d let Nick kiss her. That she’d enjoyed it. “Kev, I—“

“Shh.” He didn’t let her finish, turning her around so he could gaze down at her. “This is going to be

just for you, baby. Anything and everything you’ve ever wanted to try, we’ll do. Anything you don’t

want to do, just say so. Okay?”

She felt her breath catch in her throat, indecision making her falter. “I don’t know.”

“You told me it was one of your fantasies,” Kevin reminded her as he dropped soft little kisses all over her face.

She closed her eyes as she let herself go in his embrace, hooking her arms around his neck so she

wouldn’t fall. His lips drifted down the side of her neck, nipping the sensitive skin there until she was wriggling against him.

He exhaled as her body brushed his, his erection painfully tight in his pajama pants. “Baby?”

She blinked, opening her eyes to stare at his attentive face. “I don’t know if I want it to become a

reality.”

“Is it because of me? You don’t want me?” Nick’s voice rang behind her and she couldn’t help but turn

to face him, the pain in his voice too flagrant to ignore.

She recalled what he’d told her only minutes before: how he’d wanted her for years. She couldn’t get

her mind around it; it just seemed too good to be true. This was Nick Hamilton, the golden playboy of

the football fields. The media had nicknamed him Apollo and with good reason. He was tall, taller than

her husband even, his tanned skin offsetting his clear blue eyes and golden hair. He was beyond

handsome and he wanted her. The bullied teenager she’d once been cringed at the thought,

wondering if she wasn’t being played. But no, this was her husband and one of their best friends. They

wouldn’t do this to her.

“Mia?” Nick asked, bringing her back to the present.

She shook her head. “That’s not it, Nicky. It’s just…” She let her voice trail as she wondered how to

explain what laid heavy in her mind. “A fantasy is safe. I’m not sure…I mean I don’t think you’ll like—“

Kevin cut her off, “Nick, d’you remember what I said when I explained the reasons behind the List?”

Nick nodded, his gaze sharpening when he looked back at her. “I want you, Mia. I saw you last night

and you were barely dressed and it was all I could do not to jump on you.”

“Really?” She licked her lips at his words. Wow.

“Yeah. Feel this.” He grabbed her hand and pressed it against the front of his shorts. “That’s what

kissing you did to me.”

“Oh.” She shivered at the feel of his hard cock under the strained material. She wanted to see him

naked, she realized. Wanted to compare his body to her husband’s, wanted to feel them both against

her bare skin. Then she snapped back to the real world and fear overcame her once again. “I don’t

know.”

“What about we start slow and you see if you like it?” Kevin pressed her back against his chest. “You

can say no at any point and we’ll stop and we won’t speak about it ever again.”

“I don’t want this to ruin our friendship,” Mia said out loud, her gaze locking with Nick’s.

“It won’t,” he replied, stepping forward until his lips brushed hers. “Promise.”

Chapter Fourteen: Let’s Be Strong

Mia was sitting on the sofa, sandwiched between the two big men, feeling ill at ease and excited at the

same time. Kevin had decided they should go slow so nothing had happened yet, unbelievable as that

was. He’d slid a hardcore porn movie in the DVD player, winking as he said, “Just to set the mood.”

She hadn’t said anything but she didn’t think Nick needed it. He was still hard, his cock clearly defined under the thin cotton of his shorts. She wriggled in her seat as she tried to ignore the two men beside

her, her eyes focused on what was happening on the large screen. Kevin had picked out her favorite

movie, the one where the woman was pleasured in several ways by several different partners. She

didn’t know how he knew it was her fave because they’d only watched it once and not even in its

entirety. She’d jumped him before they’d even watched half, so turned on she’d impaled herself on his

cock without any preliminaries. Ah, come to think of it, that might be why he’d picked it tonight.

“Are you getting wet, baby?” His voice drifted over her as his arm looped around her shoulders, pulling

her against him. “Would you like us to do this to you?”

She looked at the screen and gasped when she noticed the heroine lying spread-eagle on a wide bed,

two men at her feet. They, very slowly and very deliberately, began licking a way up her legs until she

was writhing beneath them, her sex dripping even before one of the men bent down and began

sucking on her clit. “Fuck.” Mia found herself moaning at the sight. Her thighs clenched and she could

feel moisture pool on her panties.

“Are you?” Kevin repeated in her ear as his left hand slid down her body to cup her sex through her

jeans. She jerked up but his arm around her shoulders held her in place. His fingers rubbed against the

thick material, his thumb pressing hard against the stitching running along her clit.

“Kev!” She felt her legs stretch out on their own volition, her thighs parting to accommodate his

caresses. Her body felt languid and she realized she’d let herself go, half-leaning against his chest.

A tanned hand appeared in her line of vision and she blinked at the sharp reminder there was another

man in the room. Agile fingers opened up her shirt, parting the two halves so her bra appeared. His

skin was rough as he ran a fingertip along the scalloped edges, sending shivers running up her spine.

“All right?”

She looked at his face, her eyes widening at the intense look displayed there. “Nick…”

“I want this to be good for you, baby. I want you to remember it later on, I want you to get yourself off thinking about me as I’ve done for years fantasizing about you.” His voice was low but the words sharp.

He dipped one finger under a cup, teasing her nipple with light touches.

“Harder,” Kevin suggested behind her.

Mia jerked, realizing she was leaning against her husband. Okay, this was too weird.

“Harder?” Nick looked up. “What do you mean?”

“Her breasts aren’t really sensitive so you have to be quite harsh. That’s how she likes them to be

touched. You know, pinch them, tug them, that kind of thing.”

“Hard, got it,” he answered with a smirk. With one quick tug, he had unclasped the front snap of her

bra, her breasts falling to rest on her chest. “Nice,” he muttered, his hands palming them with obvious

relish.

“You like them big, don’t you?” Kevin commented, his eyes taking it all. He was giving them space for

now, knowing she had to get used to Nick’s touch if they wanted to do everything they had in mind. His

cock pulsed in his pants at the thought, imagining her screams when she’l spasm around them both.

Fuck, he couldn’t wait!

“Yeah,” Nick replied almost absentmindedly, his attention focused on the nipples calling out to him.

“Really?”

He’d almost forgotten about the woman to whom belonged said breasts. He sent her a quick smile and

nodded. “Yeah, always prefered big ones. And yours are real, baby, even better.”

“Uh, thanks?”

He grinned at the hesitation clearly discernable in her voice and bent down to take a nipple in his

mouth, flicking it with his tongue. She didn’t move, didn’t react in any way. Oh right, hard. He nibbled on the hardened tip, pinching it with his teeth for a long second.

She gasped, her hands clenching in his hair.

“That’s it, Nick, but you can do it even harder. She won’t mind,” Kevin said behind her, thanking his

lucky stars he was tall enough to see above her shoulders. He didn’t want to miss a single second of

this.

“Is that right, Mia?”

She blinked, gazing at Nick while wondering what was the question. Her mind wasn’t on the

conversation, her body tensing as his fingers tightened around her other nipple. He pinched it and held

the position until she moaned.

“You really like that, don’t you? What about if I do both at the same time?”
