Jacob had just finished reinforcing to her that his feelings hadn’t changed. The only one madly in love was her. So, why not? If she didn’t like Will’s touch, Jacob would end the situation. She trusted him with her life. Nina understood that being with them both gave Jacob another way to distance himself from her.
With a sigh, she dropped on the bed, backing up to the pillows and settling in the center. Nina accepted fate, a chance to experiment without being revealed. She was a single adult woman who had a rare opportunity to explore her sexuality without being labeled for eternity.
Jacob opened the door to Nina’s room. She lay in the center of the large bed, her hand grazing her breast. In the low light, her skin glowed and golden highlights ringed her hair. She wasn’t a spectacularly beautiful woman. Instead, she was pleasant and educated, kind and loving. She was also the woman he’d fallen in love with, and he was about to send her away forever.
He told himself it was for his own sanity. He told himself sharing her with Will was an opportunity she’d not often find. Most of all, he told himself he would share her because it would lessen his attachment.
She rose, propping on her elbows to smile at him. Will stood beside him, a bottle of wine in his hand. Both men had stripped down to trouser and shirts, jackets and vests gone.
“Come in,” she said.
Jacob stepped to the side, allowing Will to enter first. He moved to the sideboard and poured, handing one glass to Nina and another to Jacob, taking the third for him. Jacob wondered just how nervous Will might be, and if this was the first time he’d shared a woman.
“To possibilities,” Will said, raising his glass.
“To possibilities with limits,” Nina countered.
Will nodded his acceptance.
What happened next all but floored Jacob. Nina sat forward and spoke clearly.
“Will, may I see your cock before I decide?”
Jacob understood the challenge this presented to Will and wondered how he’d handle it.
“Of course,” he stammered, putting aside his glass to remove his clothing.
Jacob noted she seemed mesmerized by the man’s motions. In that second, he began to wonder if this was a good idea. Then Will dropped his trousers.
His cock was already erect but not as long or thick as Jacob’s. Relief on a new level flooded him. This was the best answer to the situation. Nina would have experience with another man, and Jacob would make love to her one last time with no possibility of words of love or promises he wouldn’t keep slipping from his preoccupied mind.
He sat on the side of the bed taking off his shoes, starting to strip off his own clothing. Nina drew a breath and moved to the foot of the bed, lying on her stomach.
“May I touch you?” she asked Will, her voice tentative.
Jacob noted how hesitant her movements were. She studied Will’s cock for a long time, finally reaching to touch his stomach even though her gaze was on his erection. She took light touches of his skin, Will’s cock rising higher as she began to stroke his body.
Jacob stood beside the bed to drop his trousers as her hand tentatively touched the other man’s cock. He paused while a wave of jealousy overtook him completely, but forced the emotion back. Never before had this been a problem in any relationship. He’d never cared enough to have feelings for a woman, so sharing them had never been an issue. This was different, and he didn’t like it.
He shook the cloud from his vision and reached for his wine. Nina gently pulled Will’s foreskin back to reveal his glistening tip. She ran her finger across it and brought it to her lips, pausing than turning back to him.
“Are you sure you’re all right with this?”
Jacob heard her fleeting plea for monogamy and drew a breath. “You’re a free, independent woman. You make your choices now.”
“Then come closer. I want to fondle both your cocks at the same time.” She smiled at him, a smile he hadn’t seen before. It silently spoke of acceptance.
Her actions goaded his cock upright, and he refused to think further of anything but pleasure. Moving to stand beside Will, he shuddered as she immediately encased his cock in her soft palm.
Nina stroked each man, her attention divided evenly. When her tongue reached out, she sucked the head of Jacob’s cock for several seconds before moving to do the same for Will. Back and forth, she alternated cocks, relaxing into the act before his eyes. Her touch became emboldened and her breath faltered. She would take a few long wet passes on him and then move to Will.
Jacobs’s legs trembled from the strain. He noted a thin layer of sweat forming on Will’s brow. That was when he decided to change the dynamic, pulling his erection from Nina’s grasp.
“Come to bed,” he told her, bending to lift her against him and moving her to stand beside the bed.
Will moved with them, his hand faltering midair. “May I touch your breast?”
She glanced to Jacob and nodded her consent. Her fingers shook when she tried to open the tiny buttons.
Jacob didn’t hold back his laughter and stepped between them. “May I?” he asked with a mischievous grin, not waiting for an answer as he grasped the neckline of her gown and tore it apart, opening her to Will’s inspection.
“Jacob,” she scolded teasingly, dropping to her knees, her gown now open, hanging off her shoulders. She was an erotic sight, her body tight, her skin glowing with heat. Her lower curls glistened, and he licked his lips.
“I’ll replace the gown,” he told her, not resisting the taunt. “It made you wet, didn’t it, to have me tear it from your body?”
“Yes, damn you.” She left his cock and swallowed Will’s several times before returning to his.
Jacob reached down and helped her stand, pulling off the ripped garment. Will’s hands reached to her breasts, molding his palms to their shape.
“Perfect,” Will muttered, taking one to his mouth.
Jacob moved behind her, palming her buttocks, pinching the skin between his fingers, sliding his palm against her as he did after spanking her.
Nina pulled from Will and turned to him, her eyes wide with panic.
Jacob realized she feared he’d spank her, but he had promised not to do so in the presence of another man. “No, Nina, not tonight.” He bent down and kissed her cheek, but continued to pinch her. “You’re intrigued, Nina, curious. Take the moment for yourself. No one will ever know.”
She was visibly relieved and brought Will’s hand back to her breast. He continued to knead her cheeks, reaching around her with his hand, cupping her pussy.
“You are hot to the touch, Nina. If Will sucks your tits, will it make you wet?”
“You tearing my gown made me wet. Sucking your cocks made me hot. Your finger inside me while he sucks on my nipples would be wonderful.” She sighed and closed her eyes, accepting their attentions.
His finger slipped between her folds, taking her essence to wipe along her lips. She let her weight fall against his chest, turning her head to kiss him while Will continued to suckle her.
“Jacob, come inside me.”
“How?”
“From behind, while I suck him.”
“Your wish, my lady.” Jacob hesitated only a moment deciding where he wanted to fuck her, starting on the footrest before the fire. He wrapped his arm around her waist and laid her over it.
Nina reached to Will’s cock, fondling him while Jacob took a position on his knees behind her.
“Fuck me, Jacob. I want to feel you inside me.”
“In time,” he told her, dropping lower to take long strides between her lips with his tongue. She groaned and settled on the prop, allowing his tongue and fingers complete access. His finger only temporarily sated her need.
Jacob’s cock throbbed for release, and he pulled his hand away. His cock took her hot pussy in one long, wet push. He watched as she sucked Will in rhythm to his fucking her. She paused only long enough to tell him, “More,” than went back to sucking while he fucked
. He pumped harder, holding her hips for balance as he slid in and out of her.
“More…”
Jacob didn’t hide the smile on his lips, taking several long passes. He pulled back, his finger running along her wet lips and without warning pushed it deep into her anus, feeling his cock pulse at the stimulation. He continued to move inside her, using her long curls to pull her head gently up to meet his gaze.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, make me come.”
He dropped her hair, and she grabbed Will’s cock. He stood with his feet planted allowing Nina to do anything with his erection. Jacob drew a breath and pulled his cock from her pussy, taking his finger from her only a second before he pushed his erection deep within her anus. She gasped at the invasion and slowly found their stride, taking Will on the same rhythmic ride as she swallowed him down her throat.
Jacob fucked her arse with abandon, his hand dropping to sink two fingers into her wet pussy.
“That’s it, make me come,” she managed.
He renewed his efforts and watched through lidded eyes as she swallowed Will. Her body tensed, and through the haze, he saw her pull back, suck on her middle finger then take Will’s cock back to her lips.
Nina pushed her finger inside Will and promptly pulled his cock from her lips, her hand pumping his cum onto her breasts while her body clenched Jacob doubly. He gave up restraint and emptied deep inside her.
Will found his breath first and gently removed her hand from his body, dropping to his knees, sucking and licking his seed from her breasts. Her groan was the incentive to suck harder.
Jacob moved next, standing tall to stretch, her groan of disapproval as he slipped from her insides. Nina turned and smiled up at him, Will’s mouth still attached to her tit.
“I’ll get our wine,” he said, stopping first in the privy. He returned, washed and carrying a damp cloth. Nina rose and let him gently wash her. When he stopped moving the cloth at her crotch, she took it from his hands and used it to wipe her chest. Than she reached to Will, cleaning his flaccid penis.
Nina and Will accepted the glasses Jacob offered. It was all so natural, it was unnatural. She glanced from one man to the other and finally smiled.
“I believe you owe me a nightdress, sir.”
“That I do, my lady.” He glanced around the room and picked up his discarded shirt, dropping it on her shoulders. She slipped her arms through and he folded back the cuffs. He didn’t button it, giving both men glimpses of her naked body with each move.
“Shall I stay?” Will asked, hesitant in the aftermath of the situation.
“I’m exhausted, Will. Thank you for allowing us to share this experience.”
He gave her a slight nod, retrieving his trousers and slipping into them. He gathered the rest of his clothing and left quickly.
“Well, Miss Harbin?”
“Well, Viscount Mansley?”
“You need to sleep. You’re exhausted in many respects.”
“And a bit sore,” she added, smiling her new sly smile. “Want to make me a bit more?” She dropped his shirt to the floor and climbed onto the bed, holding back the blanket until Jacob slid beside her.
“Rest a bit,” he told her. For a long time, he held her in comfortable silence.
“Thank you. You’re an amazing man.”
“Thank you, Nina. I find you incredibly erotic. But you only sucked Will. Why not let him fuck you?”
“I didn’t let him tongue kiss me, either. It seemed too personal.” She paused and realized the irony of her own words. “That sounds silly, I know, under the circumstances.”
“Not silly. You’ve found your boundaries. Sleep now. It will be light sooner than you think.” He kissed her forehead and tucked her against his body.

Chapter Nineteen
Day broke much too early, just as Jacob had predicted. Rain battered the windows with an assault of cold winds. Nina was alone and swallowed back the sadness.
Elsa helped her dress and Nina was the first to arrive at the breakfast table. She poured herself coffee while glancing at the Southampton newspaper she’d found in the parlor. Though a few days old, the information she sought would be accurate enough.
Jacob arrived with Will, both of them taking seats, seeming preoccupied with the weather. When a clap of thunder hit nearby, Will all but jumped in his seat.
“Good morning, Nina.” Jacob’s hand dropped lightly on her shoulder but only for a brief moment. Their good mornings exchanged, they ate while discussing travel arrangements. Will had been easily persuaded to prolong his trip back to London by a day.
Nina accepted Jacob’s concern for her welfare as well as his driver and horses. She agreed to wait one more day so she could read over the newspaper and determine her course. A part of her wondered if Jacob hadn’t persuaded to Will to stay in an attempt to match them. While Will was a pleasant man, she knew the kind of husband she wanted. Financial security and family dropped below sexual fulfillment.
She spent the morning in the library, scouring the papers for any information on outgoing ships and their destinations. There were several within a few weeks time. Her destination would be chosen by the type of passage first available.
Daylen brought her a coffee tray, and Jacob followed an hour later.
“It’s letting up a bit,” he started.
She jumped to conclusions and spoke loudly. “Then I’ll be able to make it to Southampton today after all.”
“You’re in such a hurry to leave,” he teased. “No, tomorrow will come. I was going to invite you to walk to the stable with us and get some air before it starts pouring again.”
“A last look at the horses would be lovely,” she told him, promising to be back quickly with her coat.
The ground was water laden, every step leaving a small depression in the mud. It was cold and damp but still refreshing. They toured the stables, Nina reaching to pet the horses or offer them a carrot. Jacob and Will discussed the new building. Daniel met them asking Jacob to discuss a detail. She wandered the main aisle with Will, stopping before Clover, the horse she’d ridden earlier in her stay.
“You love him, don’t you?”
“Yes,” she answered. “I accept my future lies elsewhere.”
“He’s a fool to let you go.”
“He’s got to be true to himself. I knew before he ever touched me he’d not marry me. I made a decision, and I’m not sorry. Jacob has taught me a great deal in just weeks. Outside of the bedroom, too.” She laughed, and Will cocked his head.
“Since you know your future doesn’t lie with Jacob, might I persuade you to come to London for a bit?”
Nina saw the color heat his cheeks and loved him a bit, but more as a friend than a permanent lover or husband. “I appreciate the invitation, but my destiny lies elsewhere. Yours, my new friend, is just beginning to unfold, and you need to be in London to prosper.”
“You’re right, of course, but you can’t blame a man for trying.”
“You’re sweet. Too sweet for my cynical mind,” she teased. “You need a wife with no scandal clinging to her. My way to escape is to start anew, and I’m quite thankful for the reprieve I’ve been given.”
“You know how to reach me if ever you need anything, Nina, even just a friend.”
“I’ll remember you, Will. We’ll write letters, you’ll tell me of the society gossip, and I’ll tell you about my new home.”
“It seems to be the best offer I’m going to get, so I’ll take it.” He smiled, and their moods lightened as they moved ahead to Triton’s stall.
“Will, last night, I’m afraid I was a bit controlling. What would you have chosen to do if I’d asked?” Nina watched an uncomfortable mood overtake him.
“Nothing.”
“Oh, there’s something, my new friend. What would you like to happen just once in your life? Nobody would ever know, Will. I’d never tell and neither would Jacob.” She waited
while her words sank in, scratching the horse’s nose one last time. “In your wildest dreams, Will.”
He turned to lean on the stall gate, facing away from her. “I suppose I would have liked to taste you.” He raised his hand before she could interrupt. “I’ve only done it just once, so I may not be very good at it.” He finally turned back to look at her. “I understand why you didn’t want me to fuck you. That’s personal, just for you and Jacob. But I still would like to make you climax with my tongue and lips.” His neck and cheeks reddened a second time.
“And your fingers, too?”
“If you like.” He laughed at the conversation, shaking his head.
Seeing his hesitation, she reminded him, “Your secrets are safe with Jacob and me.” She could see he wasn’t truly comfortable with the concept, though. “Will, do you have any money with you?” He gave her a skeptical look, and she prompted him. “Just give me something.”
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a few notes. Nina chose to take a single pound note, tucking it in her sleeve.
“Now, you’ve just hired me as your almost barrister. I couldn’t tell a soul what we talked about or experienced together.”
He laughed aloud at her, but he relaxed visibly. They wandered to the next stall, pausing to pet the horse.
“You’re right, Nina. When I go back to London, it’s time to marry.”
“What do you want to try before you do that?”
“I … I … want Jacob to…”
Nina was only slightly taken aback. She’s seen him watching her and Jacob last night, but now she realized he’d been watching Jacob’s cock. “What exactly do you want Jacob to do, Will?”
“Damn it, Nina.”
“Say it, Will, tell me, or I might jump to a different conclusion and you wouldn’t get your wish.”
“Teach me how to lick a woman to climax.”
“All right, I’m willing to let you practice on me.” She smiled adding, “What is Jacob doing while you’re licking me?”
“Doing me,” he whispered.
“You mean fucking you?”
“Oh God, forget it, all of it.”
