“Good. Because I want you Not just one time, Julie. Not just for one night. But it’s your decision. You can tell me whatever you need to. If you want me to go, I’ll go. I’m sure it’s a lot to take in, and I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.”
“You’re very sweet. But the fact is, I don’t know if I can be your—” I paused and looked at him pleading. I didn’t want to have to say it. “Your fuck buddy,” I managed to say.
“That wasn’t all I had in mind, but I wouldn’t refuse it either. If I’m honest, I’d show up anytime you called. If you let me know you had an hour for lunch, I’d be there.”
My face flushed. I loved that idea, but it was so unlike me. I didn’t spend my time with a guy. I kept to myself, my safe routine, my boring workaholic routine. My yogurt for lunch and low carb frozen meal for supper, my yoga for sanity’s sake. My mindless phone scrolling or true crime documentaries before bed. All of it could be moved aside, shifted or eliminated entirely to make room for Darren. There wasn’t much I wouldn’t give to have him in my bed…or on my rug again.
I disentangled my sweaty body from his and sat up.
“Oh, hell. I gave you rugburn,” he said, his fingers brushing the part of my back and butt that stung from sliding across the cheap rug when Darren fucked me into oblivion. I smiled a little at the recollection. I didn’t really care about the rug burn. It was obvious considering the fact that I was practically moaning from the memory already.
“You felt so damn good wrapped around me,” he said, nuzzling my cheek and neck, kissing my throat. “Can I take you to bed, show you a good time the way I should have? I just couldn’t wait, not once we’d kissed. It was too good to resist.”
“It was. But I’m a little sore. Like I said, it’s been two years.”
“Did I hurt you?” he asked, his voice almost mortified sounding.
“No, no I’m just not used to…any action in that area,” I said, embarrassed. “But if you’d turn off the lights, I’d like you to stay. In my bed with me, I mean. I’m really nervous, Darren. I’m babbling. It’s probably obvious. But I really like you.”
“Good to know. I hope the rug burn doesn’t hurt my chances of seeing you again.”
“Not at all,” I said with a nervous laugh. He helped me up, such a gentleman. He led me by the hand to my narrow bed, but not before stopping in the bathroom to gently clean me up. He looked so big next to it, like there was no way he’d fit in it, even by himself. But he pulled back the quilt and climbed in, turning on his side. I crawled in beside him and he curled up around me, the big spoon to my little. I sighed in absolute happiness and settled back against him. He was so warm, so strong, and his size engulfed me. I loved being wrapped up in him. I let my eyes drift shut, savoring the feeling of perfect satisfaction.
Just as I drifted on the edge of sleep, I wondered what I was doing. I had kissed Rory and Jeremy already. Now I’d slept with Darren. I squirmed, uncomfortable in the knowledge that I’d now gotten tangled up in a third Beckett brother. When I squirmed, he put his big hand on my lower belly and pressed me back against him. I felt the swell of his growing erection already and may have ground back against him a little. I covered my face with my hands, embarrassed.
“Hey,” he said. “Are you worried about Rory and Jeremy? Don’t be. I know you’ve kissed them. We’re not bent out of shape about it. Nobody’s mad or jealous. We’re all attracted to you, Julie.” He kissed my bare shoulder suggestively, his mouth trailing to my neck. My body heated in quick response.
What could he mean about them all being attracted to me? Of course, I was attracted to all three of them. I always had been. Before I could overthink it, the hand splayed out on my belly moved south to palm my mound and cover my sex. It felt so good, possessive, but in a safe way, a way that made me feel like I belonged to Darren, like I was his to hold and caress and protect. A thrill ran up my spine at the very thought. God, I was in serious trouble with all these guys, but especially the one who was petting my pussy like he planned to medal in it as a competitive sport. My whole body was suffused with heat. Slickness coated my outer lips, his fingertips as he touched me.
