“O-kay,” Cade said, drawing the word out slowly. “Did you… need something? Not that we don’t enjoy your company, of course. But I think Boone is probably right. The longer you’re out here, the more likely it is that you get caught going back.”
I wasn’t sure if I agreed with his logic, but it didn’t matter. I wasn’t going back. Not yet. Not until I’d at least spent a few more minutes with them. As far as I was concerned, they would always be worth the risk.
“Maybe I’ll just spend the rest of the night down here, then,” I said, mostly joking. Well… sort of joking. “Uncle Justin can’t catch me if I don’t go back.”
I was a little surprised that they didn’t immediately rule out the idea. Instead, I watched as they made eye contact. I could tell they were doing that silent communication thing that drove me crazy.
Boone was the first one to break the silence—not a surprise, since he always seemed to be the voice of reason—but this time was different. He didn’t look so sure of himself as he shook his head. “I, uh… don’t think that would be…” His voice trailed off as he scrubbed a hand down his face. “You know we can’t do that, Janessa.”
“Yeah,” Cade added. “We… we probably shouldn’t.”
Probably shouldn’t.
There was a big difference between probably shouldn’t and couldn’t. And judging from the heat I could see in their eyes as they looked at me, I could tell it wouldn’t take much to change their minds. I was pretty sure they were just waiting for me to push the issue a little more.
So I did.
We all wanted the same thing, right? Why deny it?
“There are a lot of things we probably shouldn’t do,” I said. “Most of the fun things in life are things we probably shouldn’t do.” I paused, looking back and forth between them as I felt myself start to smile. “What if I just refuse to go back to the house?”
Boone took a deep breath. “Janessa, please don’t do this. You know we both want—”
“You both want me,” I interrupted. “And I want both of you. Why are you fighting it? We’re all adults here. We’re all capable of making our own decisions.”
Then, before either of them could say anything else, I lifted my shirt and shrugged it off. I tossed it aside and stood there in my bra and jeans, silently daring either of them to try to make me leave.
I could feel their eyes on me, roaming up and down over my body before they looked back at each other.
“It wouldn’t have to be anything serious,” Cade said, then looked over at me. “Right? We’re just talking about a fling? A one-time thing?”
I shrugged. “I’m not limiting myself to just one time. But yeah, if that’s what you both want, then I’m happy with a fling.”
Not exactly the whole truth, but whatever. I would have been happy with much more than a fling, but it wasn’t like I was expecting either of them to drop down on one knee and propose or anything. And who was to say they wouldn’t change their mind about wanting more once we’d had our little fling?
Either way, I wanted them both naked.
With me.
Now.
I was pretty sure Cade was on board with whatever I had in mind, but he was clearly waiting on the go-ahead from Boone. And Boone looked like he might need a little more persuading. The way his eyes kept darting back to my barely covered breasts, though, I could tell it wouldn’t take much.
I walked toward Boone and didn’t stop until just a few inches separated our bodies. He was looking me in the eyes now, and I was close enough to see the little muscle in his jaw clench as I reached behind my back and unclasped my bra.
Just a little more…
I gave a little shrug and the lacy fabric fell away, leaving me exposed right in front of him. I couldn’t help but shiver as he finally looked down again at my pale breasts. God, that look. A wave of desire washed over me, pebbling my nipples and making me gasp as I took one more step, closing the gap between us as I pressed those sensitive little buds up against the coarse fabric of his shirt.
“Just a fling,” I whispered, then repeated my earlier question. “Why are you fighting it?”
He held my gaze for what felt like forever. That muscle in his jaw was working overtime, and I really thought for a moment that he would still find an excuse to deny what we both—what we all—wanted.
But he didn’t deny it. He didn’t say anything else. He simply reached out, put his arms around me, and pulled me in tight as his lips crushed mine. The kiss was so sudden and powerful that it almost hurt, but it was the best pain I’d ever felt. Just like everything else about him, it was intense and rough and real.
This was just what I needed, though. Boone’s hard kiss made my whole body come alive, and I probably would have melted into a puddle on the floor if he hadn’t been holding me there against him.
And then, oh, God, I felt another pair of hands on my back, on my ass, on my thighs as they reached around and started unbuttoning my jeans.
