“Going to work you up,” he said echoing Ash’s statement. “But going to do it my way. Want you hot and wet. And the way I’m going to make sure that happens is to lick you until you’re about ready to come.”

She shivered delicately, her entire body quivering with his words. She was so damn responsive and he liked to think she was that way just with him. He hadn’t imagined her being focused more on him. Maybe it was wishful thinking, but he was not wrong about this. Ash was there, yeah, but the connection between Jace and Bethany had been intense. No mistake there.

“Lie down and spread your legs for me,” Jace said, inserting an edge of command in his voice. She’d responded well to his authoritative voice earlier, and she did the same this time, her eyes darkening, her face going soft with submissiveness.

Forgetting about Ash—Jace didn’t even know where he was at the moment—he traveled down Bethany’s body, kissing and sucking at her neck, then her breasts, tracing a lazy trail down her flat belly to the soft curls between her thighs.

He inhaled, savoring her musky scent of arousal. She was already wet and glistening as he parted her plush folds. Pink and perfect, tiny and as delicately rendered as the rest of her. It was like opening petals to a flower and finding dew inside. He blew gently over her clit and watched as it puckered and strained upward.

Then he swiped his tongue over the taut bud, enjoying the instant jerk of her body. He lapped gently, taking care not to be too rough with her most sensitive parts. He explored every inch of her velvety heat, sliding downward to circle her opening with his tongue and then nuzzling it with his lips.

She twitched uncontrollably beneath him, arching upward to seek more of his mouth. He glanced up, wanting to know it was him she was responding to and was satisfied to see that Ash was only now taking position at her breasts. Ash hadn’t touched her yet. Her reaction belonged solely to Jace.

He returned his attention to her pussy, sliding his tongue inside her, fucking her with rapid, short strokes. She went wet on his tongue, the sweet rush filling his mouth. He could do this all night. He loved the taste of her. Loved the feel of her on his tongue. Soft. Silky. Like nothing he’d ever imagined.

He knew she was inching toward release. Her body grew more taut and her breathing sped up. He glanced up again to see Ash’s mouth close around one erect nipple and for a moment he watched. He may not like Ash being with this woman, but the sight of his friend sucking Bethany’s nipples was erotic as hell. It was a rush that never got old, watching another man pleasure the woman Jace was fucking.

“Do you like what he’s doing, Bethany?” Jace asked, his tone husky and gruff with desire. No, he didn’t want Ash here, but for the moment he could lose himself in the sheer eroticism of watching her react to having two men make love to her. “Do our mouths feel good on you, baby?”

“Y-yes,” she hissed out. “It feels so good, Jace. Nothing has ever felt better.”

Satisfaction gripped him. She may have had threesomes—kinky sex—whatever the hell she’d been into before, but those men had never given her the kind of pleasure he would. He’d make damn sure of that.

He rubbed his thumb over her clit and then placed an openmouthed kiss to her entrance, shoving his tongue roughly inside, giving her a little more edge. He wanted her close. He wanted her senseless before they took her at the same time. Hurting her was not on the agenda. He liked pain. Ash liked pain. Liked inflicting pain. With the right woman. Not that Bethany wasn’t that woman. There was a whole lot Jace ached to do with her and to her. But not tonight. Tonight was all about simple pleasure. Not the kind that accompanied the sharp, heady pain when inflicted in just the right manner.

There’d be plenty of time for that later. And there was definitely going to be a later. This wasn’t a one-night thing for him. He’d have Bethany back in his bed. Tomorrow night, in fact. But it would be with him and him alone. No Ash. No one else. Just him and Bethany, exploring the many, many ways he wanted to fuck her.

He sucked one last time at her clit and then rose up on his knees, his hands holding her knees to steady her shaking.

“Here’s how we’re going to do this, baby. Ash is going to play with your ass a little while. Ease you into this. You’re going to use your mouth on me while he plays. He’ll get inside you, make sure you can take him that way. Once we’re certain you’re with us, then you’ll get on top of me and I’ll get inside your pussy. Then Ash will get inside your ass. You still up for this?”

Ash drew away so Jace could see her face. Her eyes were glazed with passion. Hazy, a little drugged, but burning with need.

She licked her lips and then nodded.

“The words, baby. I want the words. I have to be sure you’re with me on this.”

“Yes,” she murmured in a husky voice. “I’m with you.”

“Thank fuck,” Ash muttered. “Can’t wait to get inside that sweet ass. I’ll be gentle, Bethany. You’re going to enjoy it this time.”

Her mouth wobbled into a crooked, drunk grin. “I already know I will.”

Jace crawled up the bed and then helped Bethany to her knees. “Get between my legs, baby. Ass in the air for Ash.”

She positioned herself between his legs, and he stared down at her dark head so close to his dick. He was about to come all over her face and she hadn’t even wrapped her luscious mouth around him yet. It was going to take every ounce of his control to make this last until he got inside her.

Ash went into the bathroom and returned with lubricant before crawling up behind her ass. Jace’s gaze met Ash’s over Bethany’s body and he sent his friend a silent warning. Ash rolled his eyes and heaved a sigh before he began squeezing out the gel onto his fingers.

The moment Ash’s fingers touched Bethany, she went still. Her head lifted so she was looking at Jace and he could see the fire burning in her eyes. Her fingers curled around his dick and it immediately jumped, growing even harder at her touch.

“Suck it,” he murmured. “Slow and deep.”

The moment her mouth closed around the head, her tongue sliding like rough velvet over the sensitive underside, he closed his eyes and reached down to thrust his hands in her hair.

Then she went still again, her mouth tightening briefly around him. He glanced up to see Ash positioning himself, guiding his cock between her ass cheeks.

“Is it too much, baby? If you need him to stop, tell me.”

She shook her head, her tongue licking over his dick. She closed her eyes and took him deeper, lavishing sweet affection all the way to his balls. Fuck, but she had a wickedly talented mouth.

Then she gasped. Her head came up in alarm, her eyes flashing wide. A look at Ash told him that he was inside her. Jace palmed her face, caressing her cheeks with his thumbs. “Look at me, baby. Focus on me and breathe deep. That’s it. Don’t fight it. Let it happen. He’ll go slow. Let yourself feel how good it is and then think of what it’ll feel like when we’re both inside you.”

Her eyes darkened and she inhaled deeply. Then they closed and she let out a sigh. Ash didn’t look any different, his head thrown back, his hands palming her ass as he pushed forward those last remaining inches.

“God,” she choked out. “You’re both so big!”

Ash chuckled. “Glad we please you, sweetheart.”

Ash’s movements were slow and gentle, two things he typically was not. But Jace appreciated that Ash had dialed it down a notch with Bethany. Ash might have looked the more easygoing of the two, but when it came to sex, Ash liked it hard, rough and to be in total command. They always chose women who didn’t mind that, because neither man was easy. And yet tonight, Jace found himself going against his every instinct. He wanted to be gentle and caring, ease Bethany into the experience. And he’d demanded that Ash do the same.

With any other woman, Ash would already be balls deep in her ass and fucking her down and dirty.

“How you feeling?” Jace asked Bethany. “Think you’re ready to take me and him at the same time?”

Her eyes flew open and she swallowed around his cock, driving him damn near insane.

“Jesus, baby, you keep milking my dick like that, I’ll never make it long enough to get inside you again.”

She smiled and sucked his cock, allowing it to slide nearly from her mouth. Then she swirled her tongue around, teasing the head.

“I’m ready,” she said in a breathy, excited voice. “I want you both.”

Ash immediately withdrew, impatience flaring in his eyes. He wanted back inside her every bit as much as Jace wanted to get inside her.

“Come here,” Jace commanded, reaching for her.

She crawled up his body, straddling his hips. He reached down to grasp his dick, fisting the base as she rose up on her knees to let him position himself.

“Take it nice and slow, baby. Don’t want to hurt you.”

She planted her hands on his belly, her touch like fire on his skin. Then she slowly came down over him and he watched every expression flash across her face and into her eyes as she slid down, enveloping him in her silken heat.

Her eyes became half-lidded, the blue becoming smoky as she gradually worked her way down. She paused a moment, her gaze becoming wider as she worked to take the last two inches of him.

She glanced down, checking the progress herself and then, as if determined to take him the rest of the way, she looked back up, her determination glinting fiercely. She leaned forward, adjusting the angle, and then he was home with one firm push.

He was bathed in her fire, liquid pleasure surrounding him, soaking him, pulling and clutching at him like a greedy mouth.

He moved his hand and then grasped her hips, his fingers curling into her plump backside. Then, unable to remain still, he lifted his hands, gliding along her sides until he reached her breasts. He cupped and caressed, plucking at the nipples until they were puckered and rigidly erect.

“Is it too much?” he asked hoarsely.

“Fuck, hope not,” Ash said in an equally hoarse voice.

Jace’s gaze drifted over Bethany’s shoulder to see Ash on his knees, his features strained. Ash’s eyes glittered with heat and lust and then he reached forward, planting his hand in the middle of Bethany’s back. Bethany flinched, reacting to Ash’s touch. Jace’s response was immediate. He pulled her closer to him, not wanting Ash’s hands on her. Which was laughable, considering Ash would put a much more intimate part of himself firmly inside Bethany’s body in a matter of seconds.

Still, Jace met Ash’s gaze, silently warning him to take care. He didn’t care if it pissed his friend off. Bethany was too important. She wasn’t one of their typical flings or a one-night stand. He planned for her to be around a hell of a lot longer and she’d damn sure be in his bed. The last thing he wanted was for them to scare her off and have her swear off any further contact with Jace.

“Need you to relax for me, love,” Ash said, his hands finding Bethany’s back again. His palms skated over her shoulders, squeezing in a reassuring manner.

“I’ll be easy and take it as slow as you need me to. Going to be a hell of a lot tighter with Jace already inside you. Your body won’t want me in there.”

Bethany held her breath, evident in how still her body went and the fact that her chest wasn’t moving. There was no fear in her gaze, but Jace could see uncertainty, as if she doubted whether Ash would be able to push in as he had before.

Jace rubbed his hands up and down her body, over her breasts, soothing and petting, trying to relax her further. He nodded to Ash and then pulled Bethany further toward him so the angle would be better for Ash’s penetration.

Ash rubbed lubricant over the condom stretched around his cock and then he gently fingered Bethany, applying the gel inside and out, stretching her with his fingers.

“Okay, love, I’m coming in. Push back against me if you can and don’t fight it. Don’t want it to hurt more than it has to. And once I’m in, it’ll feel good. I promise.”

Her eyes widened and she let out a small whimper when Ash began to press in. Jace could immediately feel an increase in pressure as Ash sought entrance. He groaned as Bethany’s pussy clamped around his cock. Bethany’s lips thinned and she closed her eyes, strain evident in her forehead.

“You okay?” Jace whispered.

Her eyes opened and she breathed out, “Yes. Fine. Don’t stop.”

“Hell no,” Ash said. “Not stopping now. Take a deep breath, sweetheart. Going to push in all at once. I’m almost there. Better to get it done with.”

Even before she could suck in a breath, Jace felt the jolt of her body opening for Ash’s invasion. Felt the exquisite tightness of her pussy contracting around him. The pressure was unbelievable, her pussy suddenly the tightest fist. He didn’t know how the hell he was going to move, but he figured he’d let Ash do most of the thrusting.
