Had I gotten it right? Giddiness about this shared moment of closeness and teasing filled me with warmth. Yes, they were crushing me rather than cuddling, but it was nice all the same. For once, my post-orgasm instinct to flee was holding off.
Tarryn kissed me. “Thank you for not running away immediately.”
“I think we found the secret. All we have to do is bury him under two people and he’s stuck with us for at least a few minutes until we untangle ourselves.” They were both grinning at me. Hesitantly, he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine.
“Watching you kiss is really hot, but the girl in the middle of this people sandwich has to pee,” Tarryn complained.
Valor grumbled and pulled out, and I got to watch their expressions as he disengaged. I reveled in the rawness of it.
Once Tarryn was done in the bathroom, the three of us squeezed into the too-small-for-three shower. Soap, mouths, groping hands, and laughter made for awkward pandemonium of the best kind.
Chapter Fourteen: Valor
Our shared passion for amusement parks, meant Tarryn and I checked them out in every country we visited. Spain was no exception. The one we were going to had looked promising on the website and was even better in person.
When I was a kid, Mom had worked her ass off to keep a roof over our heads, so she’d never had the time or money to take me to places like this. After the accident, the group home I’d lived in had taken us on outings, of course, but it had been to things like museums, bowling, and the movies, so the workers didn’t lose track of anyone. As for Tarryn, her parents had taken her to a few biblical theme parks but had considered mainstream amusement parks too hedonistic.
Once Tarryn and I had adult money, we started doing all the things we’d never had the chance to. We still weren’t tired of it.
Loïc, on the other hand, was frowning in disapproval. “It’s very loud, and it smells like sugar and vomit.”
A nearby ride rattled to life, and he flinched at the noise.
“That’s all normal for places like this.” Tarryn smiled sweetly and looped her arm through his, probably so he wouldn’t flee through the gates back to our rental car.
I’d been holding her other hand, but I let go, glancing around surreptitiously. Could people tell the three of us weretogether,together?
Was being gay even legal in Spain?
Shit. This was all new territory for me. I’d have to keep an eye out for same-sex couples or look it up online when we had a minute. Of course, I’d known that hetero couples had it easy by comparison, but understanding something and living it weren’t the same.
“You’ve never gone to a park with your brother’s family?”
“Severin doesn’t trust rides, but he does let Minnow put the children on the small ones at the mall.” He shrugged. “I don’t understand the pleasure in having machines shake you.”
“It’s fun, I promise,” Tarryn said.
“But why does it smell like sugar?”
“It’s the concession stands. I think it’s the desserts they sell, but Tarryn thinks they pump the smell into the air to encourage people to buy junk food. Most of what they sell is terrible for you.”
Tarryn snorted. “You sound very judgmental for a man who ate a metric ton of cotton candy the first time we came to one of these, then turned green on the next ride we hit.”
“Says the girl who would only agree to go on the merry-go-round that day.” We both grinned at the memory. Hard to believe that same woman was now a total slut for roller-coasters, like me. “Besides, puking is a badge of honor.”
“If that was true, they should have thrown you a parade.”
“Maybe I should start with a merry-go-round, then,” Loïc cutin, uneasily.
“You scaled up the side of my apartment building without a harness and you’re afraid of getting on a roller-coaster?” Tarryn asked. “How does that make sense?”
He sighed in resignation. “I did that to keep you safe. This is for entertainment.”
“And climbing through my window wasn’t at least a little about entertainment?”
He had the decency to look slightly guilty. He replied in suggestive French, and we both blinked at him, since neither of us spoke a word of it.
“My intentions were good, but you looked so fucking delicious I couldn’t help myself,” he said, his voice a sexy rumble.
