Her body shook under Hunter’s thrusts. She couldn’t do anything but endure as he pounded toward release. Then, with a muffled groan, Hunter let himself go. Kat shuddered at the feel of his cock pulsing inside her.
God. Now that she’d had them both, she wasn’t going to let either one go.
Chapter Seven
After letting Liam and Kat talk him into staying the night instead of driving back to his condo in D.C., Hunter showered in the guest bathroom. He welcomed the few minutes alone, tried to use them to process.
His body loved the idea of having both Kat and Liam. His heart liked the idea, too. He’d never loved anyone the way he’d loved Kat, and the feelings he had for Liam were...complicated. There was love there, but wariness, too. Hunter wasn’t sure how much of that was a function of dealing with the sexual attraction and how much was related to Liam’s need to control things. Hunter wasn’t about to let Liam control him.
He shoved his dirty clothes into his go bag along with his razor and toothbrush.
Kat was easier. She wasn’t a high-stress person in general, and just being with her eased a lot of his tension over the situation. He was risking so much to do this. Since the end of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, things had been a little less restrictive, but this was beyond even that norm. Maybe it wouldn’t be a big deal. Maybe it would. He had no way of knowing, and it made him edgy. He was going to do it anyway. He’d seen too many buddies die to believe in not grabbing what he wanted. If there was a chance he could have everything, why shouldn’t he take it?
Set on his course, Hunter finished and emerged from the bathroom. He could hear the other shower running. The door to Kat and Liam’s bedroom stood open, inviting him in. The small consideration made him feel connected in a way he’d needed for years but hadn’t fully realized was missing.
While he was trying to decide how to proceed, Kat appeared in the open door, damp and wrapped in a green cotton robe.
She smiled, a happy, content expression he wanted to see every day. Knowing he’d helped put that look on her face fulfilled him on a visceral level. Without waiting for her to verbalize the invitation, he crossed the hall and joined her.
“Remind me to throw your clothes in the wash before we go to bed,” she said, taking in the gym bag in his hand.
“Least of my worries.” He leaned his shoulder against the door frame and watched her pull clothes out of the dresser.
“So all of your business is online?” He needed to distract himself before they ended up back in bed. Though he suspected he would be quite happy to spend all his time in bed with the two of them.
Kat shrugged, sliding her panties up under the robe. Hunter tracked the motion, wanting to skim the lace right back down. “Sure. I’ve got online stores in a couple of places. It lets me do what I want and work with what I find.”
“You think you can do that anywhere?”
She tilted her head to look up at him. “Yes. I can set up my studio anywhere. As long as I can get an internet connection, I’m good.”
“What about finding the stuff to make your stuff?”
Kat grinned. “Materials. I can find materials anywhere. You’re never far from a thrift store. Plus, I can always use new fabrics or remnants instead of the thrift store stuff, and if push comes to shove I can order online.”
“So you really think you and Liam could move when I move?”
She nodded. “We can. Liam needs internet, phone and access to an airport so he can get to projects. Sometimes he’s on site for a few weeks.”
Hunter froze. He hadn’t considered that. “That might be an issue. If Liam is gone and I’m gone, you’ll be alone. I’m not okay with how open you and Liam are.”
She paused in the act of pulling on a pair of loose cotton pants. “I understand that, Hunter. I’m pretty sure Liam gets that, too. I’ve never taken partners without Liam being there. It isn’t safe. So that wouldn’t change.”
He frowned. Evidently he wasn’t as clear on what went on with Liam and Kat as he’d thought he was. “I thought you had a...what do you call it...open marriage?”
She shook her head before he even finished the question. “No. At least, not the way you mean. Liam needs an outlet for his sexuality that I can’t give him, and I need more of an outlet than he can give me by himself. We find people who help us do both. Occasionally Liam has taken male lovers without me, but that’s not common, and he hasn’t done that in...um...wow. A year at least.”
“But if we’re both gone, won’t you be tempted?”
Kat crossed her arms over her chest. It made her tits peek out from between the lapels of her robe, distracting him.
“I can control myself. This is why people invented vibrators.”
He jerked his eyes from her cleavage to her face. The sudden image of her getting herself off with a vibrator dried up all the saliva in his mouth. Hunter figured he was lucky his tongue didn’t hang out.
“Okay,” he managed.
She dropped her arms and then the robe. Her bare breasts with their soft pink nipples magnetized his gaze.
