“So, am I forgiven?”
“Yes, you don’t have to sleep on the couch tonight.” He leaned in and kissed her.
“You’re the best, Honey.” He walked back to the kitchen whistling.
“Making him sleep on the couch punishes me more than it does him,” she said to the three other women in the booth. Then she caught Josie’s frown, and looked over at the two younger girls sitting in the booth staring at her. “Oops. I’m sorry, girls. I think the pregnancy hormones are making me run off at the mouth. Just forget I said that.”
“I’m not going to forget it. I’m going to ask for details!” Sarah said, holding out her hand. “I’m Sarah Compton. You can tell me from my sister Becca by my eyebrow piercing.”
“Good to know.” Lola shook her hand, and then shook Becca’s hand. “I’m Lola Hart, and you just met my husbands, the overprotective idiots, Jace and Dale. You can tell them apart because Dale has the wider shoulders and Jace has the fantastic ass.”
“Lola, I think your mouth needs to go on lockdown,” Josie admonished.
“Really? I remember how you described Chance and Sam,” Lola said with a sideways glance.
“Yeah, but I didn’t say it in front of impressionable youth.”
“How about it, girls, have you ever noticed how men were put together, and those parts of them that were really put together well?”
“I’ve noticed,” Sarah said, taking a large gulp of her sweet tea, “but I didn’t realize that my little sister noticed those kinds of things.”
“Honey, with all three of you as gorgeous as you are, I imagine you have plenty of men hovering around. Of course, y’all have noticed. And Sam and Chance? Have you met them?”
Becca and Sarah shook their heads.
“Well, wait until you do. You’ll notice, too.”
“Okay, Lola, I don’t care if you’re pregnant with twins, your break is over.” Josie waved her out of the booth.
Lola stood, pulled out her order pad, and snagged her pencil from over her ear. “What do you want to order?”
Becca and Sarah just stared at her.
“Dale made vegetable lasagna for the lunch special, but there’s always the bacon cheeseburger.”
“I’ll take the bacon cheeseburger,” Becca piped up, “and a chocolate milkshake.”
“I’ll take the vegetable lasagna and a chocolate milkshake,” Sarah said.
Lola made a face but wrote it down. Josie chose the lasagna and decided to stick with her sweet tea.
After Lola left, Becca turned to Josie. “Her two husbands are hot.”
“Kind of overprotective,” Sarah noted. Josie just nodded her head. They went on to talk about the girl’s time at school. Josie laughed as the girls both ordered second milkshakes.
Chapter 32
When they drove to Sam and Chance’s house, Josie was careful to give the twins clear directions how to get back.
“Josie, it’s basically a mile inland from the harbor, and then just follow the road around the lake, I think we can handle it,” Becca said as they pulled into the driveway.
“So, which one is which?” Becca asked, tipping her chin to the two men standing at the top of the porch steps.
“Lola wasn’t kidding. They’re hot too, Josie. Good going!” Sarah said. Josie didn’t know whether to take that as a good thing or a bad thing.
“The blond is Chance, and Sam has the dark hair. Let me introduce you.” The men were already down the steps opening their car doors by the time Josie had finished her sentence.
“Welcome, ladies,” Chance said with a wide smile. Sam just smiled and hugged Josie as he opened her door.
“Chance, do you think you could drive the car back tonight so they could follow you, and don’t get lost?”
“Oh Josie, for God’s sake, we’ve got our phone’s navigation. If we can’t find our way back to your apartment, then we’re too stupid to live,” Sarah shook her head sadly.
Sam let out a laugh. “I don’t know which one of you is which, but you are definitely Josie’s sister. She said almost the same damn thing to me when I got worried about her getting lost.”
Becca and Sarah laughed.
“Hi, I’m Sam Booth,” Sam held out his hand to Sarah.
“I’m Sarah Compton. This is my better half, Becca,” she pointed at her sister.
“Hi, I’m Chance Reynolds.” Chance grinned. Josie could see he was aching to hug the girls, but he didn’t. He shook both of their hands instead. “Welcome to our house. I hope you’ll both make yourselves at home.” He put his arm around Josie and waved for the girls to precede them up the porch steps. “I’ll give you the grand tour.”
“You have a dock?” Sarah asked. “Do you swim in the summer?” She darn near had her nose pressed to the back patio window.
“Let me show you the backyard,” Chance offered. The girls followed him.
“So, what did you do with the girls today?” Sam asked when they were alone.
“We went over to Hart’s Diner for lunch, where drama ensued.” She told Sam the story, and he smiled.
“Jace told me about them trying for a kid. I’m happy for them.”
“Yeah, Lola was really upset when they were having trouble getting pregnant.”
“I don’t suppose that’s something you would ever want?” Sam probed.
“Why would you say that?” Josie countered, a little shocked.
“Well, you’ve basically already raised two children.”
“I would love to have children,” Josie huffed. Sam raised both his hands.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hit a hot button.”
Just then, Chance and the girls came out to the back deck, joining them.
“And here’s the view I promised you. I figured we’d put Sam to work and have him grill some steaks tonight out here on the deck. Are either of you vegetarian?”
“No, we’re both meat eaters,” Sarah said.
“I can help with the grill,” Becca volunteered. “I want to get to know Sam better.” Sam gave a quiet groan, and Josie laughed.
That night, grilling steaks with Becca went a lot better than Sam had anticipated. He’d expected things to be awkward with Becca, but she was a lot of fun, and they really bonded when he explained he was coaching a basketball team. She even volunteered to come to the next afternoon’s practice and run drills with the boys. Sam didn’t know how much the boys would actually learn from Becca, knowing the hormone levels of fourteen-year-old boys around such a beautiful young woman.
When he said as much, he was surprised at how unaware she was of her own appeal. He wondered if it was just a family trait. There might only be a vague family resemblance, but all three were stunning women, with ample power to turn heads.
Sam paid her this compliment aloud, and Becca flashed him a blinding grin. “Josie needs a man in her life to appreciate her. She’s never recognized her own beauty.”
“Well, now she has two men who think she’s stunning. I’ve got to tell you, Josie is the best thing that has ever happened to me, Becca,” Sam finished.
“Well, at least we can agree on that. Aside from Sarah, Josie is the most important thing in my world, and I want what’s best for her. I just don’t want her hurt. This whole relationship just seems like something that is going to leave her open to ridicule. What’s more, I just don’t want either of you to end up hurting her.”
Sam set his spatula down and took the young girl into his arms.
“You’re right, Becca. There are people who are going to be against us. I don’t think it’ll be ridicule, but some will openly disapprove. As for this relationship being just a passing whim for Chance and me? You’re just going to have to get to know us. There’s no other way for you to make that decision. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make this easier for you, but I can’t.”
He looked the girl in the eye. “But there is one more bit of advice I can give you, and I really want you to think about it. Okay?” Becca took in a deep bre
ath and looked up at him and nodded. “Your sister is one of the most levelheaded people I have ever met. I think you should trust her instincts.”
“Yeah, but she was wrong about Russell,” Becca whispered softly.
“But she dumped that asshole, and she’s grown a lot since then, hasn’t she?”
“I thought he dumped her,” Becca said.
“Honey, your sister kicked him to the curb.” Sam chuckled. “It took her a lot of courage, because in the past she hasn’t been that good at standing up for herself, but she’s getting better. And she’s grown quite a bit since then. So, you need to trust that she knows what she’s doing. Just think about that, will you? If you do, I bet you’ll find all the answers you’re looking for.”
They had a good time over a nice dinner. Chance had the girls take the Audi back to the apartment, just to ensure their safety.
“Oh, my God, they’re gorgeous, they’re smart as hell, and so much fun!” Chance enthused later that night. “Josie, how on earth did you manage to raise such great kids, when you were just a kid yourself?” He hugged her, lifting her into the air.
“They came out of the womb that way.”
Sam pulled her out of Chance’s arms and hugged her tight. “That’s just not true, Baby. I’ll agree that they came out gorgeous, but at their age, to be so well adjusted, so nice and polite. That’s all you.” Josie blushed and pushed him away. She walked into the kitchen and picked up her juice glass.
“I’m just so glad you guys got along.” Josie leaned against the kitchen island.
“How could we not?” Chance asked.
“And what about you, Sam? You and Becca seemed to be having quite the intense conversation out on the deck. What was that all about?”
“I don’t think she’s as opposed to the whole threesome thing as she was before. I think she’s just worried about you getting hurt. God, those girls love you so much, and since I’m in that same camp, how can I be upset with her?”
“So, what did you talk about?”
“She’s worried about what others will say about us. And, she doesn’t trust the intentions of two men she really doesn’t know toward a big sister who has always been there for her. She’s as protective of you as you are of her, Josie. Bit of a chip off your block, I’d say. I just told her she’ll have to get to know us and trust your instincts.”
Josie put her glass down to stand on her toes and gave him a long kiss. “You’re a very smart man, Sam Booth.”
Sam stroked his hands down her body and gripped her ass. “So, what kind of reward did I earn?” Chance moved up behind Josie, rested his hands on her shoulders, his lips nuzzling at her neck.
“Don’t forget, I charmed the girls, and loaned them my car,” he reminded her.
“I haven’t forgotten anything that either of you have done or can do. I also noticed my little sisters admiring you a little too much.”
“Hey.” Sam stepped back immediately. “That’s just creepy!”
“Hey, that’s just normal,” she mimicked in his tone. “If they hadn’t noticed you, I would have been more worried. Now, get back here, or better yet, let’s take this to the bedroom.”
“You know, we haven’t done it in the kitchen,” Chance suggested in a devilish purr against her neck. Josie melted back against his chest, rubbing against his erection.
“You know there’s something else we haven’t done,” she replied, in a very soft voice. “And I really think that the bedroom is going to be the right place to do it.”
Chance clenched his hands on her shoulders. Sam’s eyes glittered as he moved forward, grasping her waist.
“Are you sure, Baby?”
“I need you both.” She looked over her shoulder at Chance. “Please?” she asked.
“Oh, Zee, you don’t have to ask. We just don’t want to rush you.” He moved her hair back, and kissed her lips, pressing himself even closer. She gasped as Sam suddenly picked her up and carried her out of the kitchen, with Chance close behind. When they got to the bedroom, Chance turned on the lights and Sam lowered her softly onto the bed.
“Do you know how much I love you, Baby? Every day I discover something new, and I fall a little more.”
Josie trembled, looking up at this man who had captured her heart.
“Oh, Sam.” She reached up, a slight tremor in her hand and a sheen of tears in her eyes. “You take my breath away.”
“What about me, Zee?” Chance knelt on the bed, caressing her cheek. A tear slipped down her face. “Hey, wait a moment. Don’t cry.” Chance bent down and licked up the tear. “Honey, this is us loving you.”
“That’s just it. That’s why I need it so much, why I need you both so much.” She sniffed.
“Well, sweetheart, we need you, too. But I’ve got to tell you, I really need you naked.” Josie let out a surprised laugh, as Chance followed up his statement by grabbing the hem of her shirt and pulling it over her head. “Oh, yeah, the red corset. I love the red corset!”
“You are a goofball.”
“I’m a horny goofball.”
Sam divested her of her jeans and panties, while Chance pulled off his clothes, throwing them on the floor. Sam’s hands smoothed the inside of her legs and she shuddered. While Sam pushed her knees outward, Chance traced the tops of her plump breasts where they spilled out over the top of her corset. His fingers sank down underneath the cups to tease her nipples, rubbing back and forth, as Sam’s palms smoothed up her thighs, ever closer to her damp sex.
“I can smell you, Josie. I think you like having us touching you.” Sam whispered.
Josie kept her eyes closed, wanting to savor the moments that were coming. She knew Chance was going to draw out her breasts to suckle them, then Sam was going to spread the lips of her sex, and just anticipating these attentions made her juices flow.
“God, Baby, you’re getting so wet, and I haven’t even touched you. What are you thinking?”
She was lost in her thoughts.
“I asked you a question,” he rasped. Another pulse of liquid.
“Chance sucking my nipples. You touching me and looking at me. It’s so hot.”
“I love looking at your glistening pink folds. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Ever tasted.” Instantly, her lovers began a concert of ministrations. Chance lifted her breasts and sucked and pinched her nipples, as Sam had her spread like a buffet and lapped at her slit. Her pleasure rocketed in seconds as Josie wailed, exploding in orgasm.
Slowly they soothed her, softening their touches, whispering words of praise. As she came back to herself, Josie touched them both as they crawled up beside her to cradle her close.
“Please, come inside me, now. I need you both now.”
“We need you too, Baby.”
Chance rolled onto his back, taking Josie with him. “Lay on top of me, Zee. I need to kiss you.”
Her body melted on top of his, and she took his mouth in a lazy kiss that started with a smile, then smoldered as Chance grabbed the back of her head and ground his mouth to hers. When he was done, she was panting and on fire.
“Straddle me,” he demanded.
Josie immediately complied, her core coming into contact with his rock-hard cock. His hands gripped her hips, and slowly guided her onto his condom-covered erection. She could feel every ridge as he filled her. For a moment, she doubted her decision to take both of them at once. She felt so full with Chance deep inside her this way.
From behind her, she squirmed as Sam sensuously moved her hair over her shoulder, and then she couldn’t imagine being without him. She looked down at Chance.
“Lean forward, Honey,” he directed.
Ever so softly, Sam’s hand guided her down toward Chance. Chance stroked her back, down to the globes of her ass, gently parting them.
Sam’s fingers delicately smeared warm lubrication against her rear opening, and then she felt those same fingers parting the muscles there.
“You’re so beautiful
, Baby.”
And Josie felt beautiful. She felt loved. How could she not? Right now, she was right where she wanted to be, between the men she loved.
“Please, Sam, hurry. I need you.”
“No, Baby, no hurrying tonight. Let me get you ready. Relax just a little bit more.” Sam continued to play with her, smoothly gliding in and out, and then Chance reached up and touched her clitoris, and Josie cried out, pushing backward.
“Good girl,” Sam praised.
Then his fingers were gone, and she felt that same sensation she’d only felt once before. Chance continued to lightly circle her engorged clit, as Sam pressed in with his penis.
“Oh, God,” she whimpered. It burned, but at the same time, her jangling nerve endings connected to the amazing sensations that Chance was conjuring in her clit.
“Give it a minute, Josie,” Sam insisted.
Josie stopped moving and Sam pressed farther, and then he pushed the head past her tight muscles, and she immediately sighed in relief. As Sam continued to push in, Chance pulled out, but he continued to play with the nub of nerves at the apex of her sex, and she mewled in pleasure.
Finally, Sam was all the way in, and Josie let out a cry.
“Baby, are you okay?” Sam asked in a frantic voice.
“It’s so good,” Josie panted.
Sam pulled out, and Chance pushed in.
“God, Zee, you’re killing me, you’re squeezing my cock so good.” Josie saw the look of pained pleasure on Chance’s face, sure it mirrored her own.
She felt Sam move one of his hands from her hip up to her breast. He gripped her with just the right amount of pressure. The touched her everywhere exactly right.
“Are you ready, Baby?” Sam blew out the question as he slowly pulled out again.
“What do you mean?” Josie gulped.
“I mean, are you ready to begin?” She looked down at Chance who lifted his eyebrow in question.
Holy hell. Was she ever.
“I want it all, boys.” Before she even finished the sentence, Chance rocked upward, and a rhythm began that Josie couldn’t believe. She couldn’t breathe, she was literally stuffed with her men and she loved every moment of it as they pushed and pulled, faster and faster.
