That comment made her smile, it also made her damp. Her clit ticked restlessly, and she knew she was getting wet. The urge to climb onto him and join them together was rising, but she also wanted to hear everything he had to say, now that the barriers were down.
He lifted her hand from his chest, and kissed her palm. “Thank you, for everything you did.” He pointed at his knee and his head. “That too.”
She shook her head, feeling as if she owed him so much more. The night before he’d unlocked her somehow, unlocked something that she couldn’t have managed on her own, something that made her feel so much more sexually aware and confident.
“You saved my life,” he added, growing serious.
“Don’t be daft.”
“You did. I’d found my diary on my desk, and when I realised it was you, I dropped it. I bent to pick it up just as that goon took a shot at me.”
“No,” she whispered. ”I don’t believe it.”
“It’s true. If we hadn’t arranged to meet, I might not be alive right now.”
“Hush.” She was getting upset about the fact he’d been so easily targeted. “There’s no need to thank me for anything, really.”
His eyes seemed to darken, and she felt the tension stirring in him—tension that was echoed inside her. The door creaked open. Lily had to drag her attention away. A moment longer and they would have been making love.
“Breakfast is served, such as it is.” Seth walked in carrying three steaming mugs in one hand, and a plate piled high with buttered toast in the other. He made the announcement apologetically, and put the breakfast things down on the bedside table nearest Lily. When he glanced at them, he ruffled his hair with one hand, awkwardly.
He knows he interrupted, bless him. She shuffled up in the bed, plumping her pillow behind her with one hand, the other concealing her breasts with the duvet. “Yum, much appreciated. I’m starving.”
That’s when she noticed that the only thing Seth wore was snug-fitting black jockey shorts. His chest and abs magnetised her attention. They were ripped, tight and firm. Something that felt almost desperate plumed inside her. Lust, she told herself, feeling confused. This threesome thing was good, but so damn weird. A moment before she’d been wrapped in Adrian. Now that Seth was here, she wanted him as well.
He hovered by, as if unsure. “I’ve ramped the heating up, it’s icy out there this morning.”
“Come back to bed then,” Lily suggested, resisting the urge to reach out for him, picking up a mug of tea instead.
Seth grinned and sat down on the bed, back in the spot he’d vacated earlier. “My God, the woman’s insatiable.”
“Hey, I meant for you to keep warm.” The fact he’d mentioned her sexual appetite seemed to stir it up even more. It also embarrassed her a tad, and she sipped her tea. It was good, and she filched the top piece of toast from the stack, purring audibly as she tucked into it. Adrian followed suit and for a little while they all ate and drank.
“This tea is good, you make a great cuppa.”
“I’m glad I meet your approval on something.”
“Judging from all that moaning last night,” Adrian interjected, “you meet her approval on a lot of things.”
Lily couldn’t help laughing.
“Glad to be of service, but what I actually meant was in the kitchen department,” Seth said, echoing her earlier clarification.
“Oh, right.”
He ate his toast silently for a moment, but she could tell he had something on his mind. His eyes grew shuttered and he had that deadly-serious policeman face on. “Tell me more about the bloke you saw outside Adrian’s office,” he said, eventually.
“More? There isn’t much more.” She shrugged one shoulder and pulled the duvet higher over her chest before wrapping both hands around the mug of tea. “He was in the elevator with me as I came up. He made me feel uneasy, something about him.” She glanced at Adrian. “I got a bit freaked; like, worried that he might be you.”
Seth stared at them both. “You really had no clue what each other looked like?”
“Nope,” Adrian replied, “That was Lily’s call.”
She nodded. “I’d rather have no clue than be sent a fake photo.”
Seth looked at them dubiously. “Makes sense, I suppose.”
“I liked Adrian from his words. It was what he said to me that made me want to meet him.” She stroked Adrian’s head playfully. “Not just the sexy stuff,” she added, when he winked. “You said normal stuff as well, and you made me feel comfortable. That’s i
