Preston’s door opened. “Did I miss a party invitation?” He was so good at lightening the mood.

Ariel turned around and drank him in. This man was a double wow. While he had on gray cotton pajama bottoms, his naked upper torso was packed with muscles. It went without saying that his abdominal muscles were impressively ripped. She wouldn’t be surprised if he’d modeled at one time.

“I heard a noise and wanted to find out what it was,” she explained.

Benson let go of her and stepped back behind the kitchen counter. He picked up his glass of water and downed it. “I was thirsty, so I came out here. I had no idea you could hear me. I’m sorry.”

“That’s okay,” she said.

Preston nodded. “Speaking of water, I could use a glass myself.”

Her mouth was a bit dry. “Pour me one?”

“Of course.” Preston located two glasses, filled them up at the refrigerator dispenser, and handed her one.

She drank it all down. “Thanks. Knowing it was just Benson and not my stalker, I can now go back to sleep.”

“Are you sure?” Preston asked. He moved closer and lifted her chin with a finger.

Ohmigod. Was he going to kiss her? From the way he was looking at her, she figured he might. To her surprise, she was anxious to learn what having his lips on hers felt like. Perhaps it was because she was so far out of her element that Ariel glanced down, only to find he was sporting a raging hard on. No words formed. Her mind had gone blank.

Say something. Preston asked you a question.

She met his intense gaze, which was full of promise. “Yes, I’m sure, but now that you ask, I would feel better with some company.”

Heat raced up her face at that bold statement, but she wanted the men. How she’d gone from distrust to desire in only a day or two surprised her, but it had happened.

“I’m sure I can accommodate you.” Preston leaned closer, and her heart jumped to her throat.

“Uh, hello?” Benson interrupted, which caused both of them to laugh.

She smiled at Benson. “As you know, your bed is huge. If you don’t kick or snore, I’m fine with sharing.”

Benson grinned. “Works for me.”

As Ariel turned around to return to the bedroom, she figured the men would follow. But no. Preston picked her up, making her feel special.

“I don’t want you to tire before you reach the bed,” he said and then smiled.

Tire her out? The bedroom was all of twenty feet away. Or were they talking about something else? When she’d made the suggestion for them to sleep with her, she was thinking they would merely snuggle, but if they wanted to touch and kiss, she wouldn’t turn them down.

Acting too eager might turn them off, but she also didn’t want them to think she wasn’t interested. It was a fine line to walk.

When they reached the bedroom, Preston placed her gently in the middle of the bed and then crawled next to her, while Benson dropped down on the other side. She was a little surprised they hadn’t needed to turn on the light to see, but it was Benson’s bedroom.

Not wanting to hurt either man’s feelings, she remained on her back and waited to see what they would do. Her pulse was beating a bit too fast, and sparks of desire were already attacking her pussy. What had she gotten herself into?

Both men lifted up onto an elbow and faced her. Without hesitating, Benson leaned over and kissed her. This wasn’t a tentative kiss to make her feel safe. On the contrary, the moment their lips touched, it was clear she’d entered very dangerous territory to both her body and her heart. The man might be suave in the courtroom, but his manner in bed was even smoother.

For a moment, she felt bad that she was ignoring Preston, but he seemed content to caress her shoulder and drag his hand down her arm and across her hip. She literally willed his fingers to move lower, because his gentle and slow approach was causing her mind to splinter.

Between Preston’s touches and Benson’s kiss, the erotic sensations were overwhelming her. Both men were taking their time, yet they each exuded a kind of unleashed power. It was almost as if they were working hard to stay in control. Why, however, she had no idea.

Maybe it was because they were waiting for her to make the first move. The fact she’d returned Benson’s kiss with such passion should have been enough of a clue that she was interested. Not only that, she’d invited them into the bedroom.

That being said, if he wanted a more overt sign, she’d give it to him. Throwing caution to the wind, she cupped the back of his head and then parted her lips to invite Benson in. He groaned and took her up on her offer. Their tongues dueled and explored, and with each parry, her heartbeat rose. Never had a man dominated her thoughts like this before, nor had so many parts of her body exploded with such need.

“I think our lady needs to be naked,” Preston announced with cheer in his voice.
