“Riley, that—”
I cut him off with a kiss, thrusting my tongue into his mouth, and he grunted at the rude invasion. Instead of pushing me away like I expected, his fingers flexed on my hips, and he parted his lips, sucking on my tongue. I kissed him like it was the last chance I had as I straddled his thigh.
“Please. Noel, please.” I kissed his lips, his jaw, his throat. His skin was a little salty with a hint of soap from his shower. He moaned underneath me as I sucked a mark into his neck.
In the back of my mind, I felt Jai stir. He’d woken when I did, spurred by my fear. He had to feel the desperate desire coursing through me, and I reached through the bond, grasping the rope sprung taut between us. I stroked it, and lightning zipped down my spine.
Whoa.
Noel’s hands were on my butt over my underwear, and Jai was in my head, reacting to my rough treatment of our bond. I swore I could hear his curse reverberate in my own mind. I almost laughed.
The door to my bedroom opened, and Noel sat up, holding me tight so I didn’t fall off his lap. Jai stumbled into the room, sleep-drunk and confused.
“What in hellfire?” he growled, and I cinched the bond and tugged. Hard. He stumbled forward a step and moaned. “Holy fuck. Riley.”
Noel’s gaze ping-ponged between us, fingertips digging into my butt. “What—”
“Not fair.” Jai staggered toward the bed. “Ambushing me. You brat.”
“Please,” I whimpered. “I need you.”
Jai’s knee sank into the mattress, and I reached for him. Noel made a strangled noise in the back of his throat, and his hands withdrew. Turning back to him, I tried to read his shadowed expression, but all I saw was the pain of rejection welling in his eyes.
“I’ll just—” His breath caught as he tried to push me off his lap, and I shook my head violently.
“No, that’s not… don’t go.” I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him. “I didn’t mean it like that. Stay. I want you to stay.”
Jai had paused, kneeling on the edge of the bed. He watched us as Noel brushed our noses together. His throat clicked as he swallowed. I twisted a chunk of his white hair around my fingers.
“Stay,” I said again. “Both of you. We don’t have to… we can just sleep. But please, stay.”
“Are you sure?” Noel whispered so quietly I almost missed it.
Embarrassed at my brazenness, I ducked my head and pressed my hand to Noel’s bare chest. “I’m sorry. It’s unfair. I shouldn’t ask it of either of you.”
The lamp on my side table clicked on, and Noel and I blinked at the sudden light. Jai sat back on his heels, balanced on the edge of the mattress. His black hair was crazy, and his eyes roared like an inferno. His pajama pants tented from his arousal.
He looked at Noel. Noel stared back at him. There were no words spoken, but they had an entire conversation. Jai’s eyebrow arched. Noel blushed but smiled. Then he turned his head, leaned in, and trailed kisses up my throat.
With a groan, Jai knee-walked across the bed, closing the distance between us. His eyes never left mine, even as I tilted my head to give Noel access to more skin. My fingers tangled in his hair, and he hummed against my Adam’s apple.
“What do you want, Riles?” Jai rasped, hand cupping the back of my head. His fingers massaged my scalp as Noel’s hands inched up my thighs, teasing the edges of my underwear. “We don’t want to push you too far.”
“Pushing too far sounds amazing, actually,” Noel said in my ear as I shuddered.
“I—I want—oh.”
My eyes rolled back into my head as Jai’s other hand snuck between Noel’s body and mine. He massaged the bulge in my underwear, and Noel groaned. I looked down and nearly choked on my tongue. The back of Jai’s hand rubbed against Noel’s clothed erection.
“Oh my God,” I breathed.
“Is this okay?” Jai asked me.
My head nearly fell off as I nodded exuberantly. “Yes. Please. Yes.”
“No, is this okay?” he asked Noel.
Noel reached out and rested his palm on Jai’s cheek. “Kiss me,” he said, and Jai did just that.
Their lips met with a wet smack, and I pressed my hand to my erection to calm my raging lust. Jai’s tongue slipped between Noel’s lips, his piercing glinting briefly in the light. Noel moaned. I lunged forward and kissed his neck, feeling the vibration against my lips.
Our kisses were frenzied and messy, one set of lips meeting, then breaking apart to connect with another. I wasn’t sure who was kissing whom, but at some point, Noel fell back on the bed. And Jai was tugging off Noel’s shirt. And I was drawing Noel’s pajama pants down until his hard length slapped against his stomach.
I took it in my mouth without a second thought, and he cried out. “Riley! Oh, fuck me.”
“We can do that,” Jai said gruffly as he grabbed the back of my neck, his thumb digging in. “You look so hot with Noel’s cock in your mouth. Such a good boy.”
With a hum, I hollowed my cheeks the way they’d taught me and sucked Noel as deep as I could without engaging my sensitive gag reflex. The bitter salt of him made my nose wrinkle, but I didn’t stop.
Jai left me to my task, crawling across the bed to the other side table. I heard the drawer open, and Jai rummaged inside. I didn’t remember putting anything in that drawer, so imagine my surprise when he straightened with a plastic tube and a small vial in his hands.
He set them on the bed before shucking his pajama pants off. As I lifted off of Noel, he wriggled out of his own pants. I removed my underwear, but I kept my shirt on. Jai and Noel were both naked, and my brain glitched. It was hotness overload.
“Kneel between Noel’s legs,” Jai ordered, and I shuffled forward until I was sitting on my heels between Noel’s raised knees. He spread his legs wider, baring everything to me as he watched us with heavy-lidded eyes.
“Just setting a ground rule before we get carried away,” he said, voice strained. “Riley isn’t fucking me for the first time in front of you.”
Noel shot Jai a stern glare, and Jai chuckled. “Pity. Doesn’t mean we can’t make you come.”
Dropping his head back, Noel groaned in lusty frustration. His pale erection lay against his stomach, his sack tight with need. And below, his pink, puckered entrance.
“Oh my God.” Nerves swarmed my stomach. “What… um, wait a sec—”
“You wanna stop?” Jai and Noel asked at the same time, with equal amounts of disappointment.
“Uh, no. I don’t think so. I just…” I met Jai’s gaze over my shoulder as he knelt behind me. “I’ve never—”
“I’ll show you.” His beard bit into my cheek as he kissed me tenderly, and I melted. “You okay?”
I nodded.
“Lube or oil, No?” Jai murmured against my lips, still tasting me.
“Oil. It tingles.”
They both burst into laughter as I furrowed my brow in confusion. Jai dropped the plastic tube to the side and screwed open the glass vial. Spearmint wafted from the jar, growing stronger when Jai took my hand and poured some oil onto my fingers.
Oh, it did tingle. Interesting.
