Lorie felt herself getting emotional and she had to run her hands under her eyes to wipe away the few tears that managed to escape while she talked about what Heather had been through. Even all these years later she knew she still felt partly responsible for Heather finding her parents’ lifeless bodies. If she had told her parents what Heather was going through it might have been prevented.
“You were just a kid,” Spencer said. “You can’t blame yourself for her parents’ poor decisions. Your family made a bad situation better for your friend, and you have made a big difference for hundreds of kids as an adult. I don’t think it’s possible for anyone to be a better person than you are.”
Clay reached for her hand and cupped both of his around it. He was completely serious when he looked at her. His eyes were like clouds filled to the brim with strong emotions, and she had to bite her lip to keep her tears in check seeing the emotions within those beautiful eyes. “Never blame yourself. You did more than most people would. Heather was incredibly lucky to have a friend like you back then. If her parents weren’t willing to get help to be clean for their own daughter, then nothing you or your parents said would have made a difference. You all gave Heather a home when she needed it most and that is something I promise you she cherishes more than you’ll ever know.”
Lorie leaned over the table and kissed Clay long and hard hoping that her kiss would convey how thankful she was for what he’d said. She still might not know what happened to Clay as a child, but she’d seen enough to know it wasn’t anything good. His praise meant the world to her. Not wanting to belittle the beautiful things Spencer had said to comfort her as well she also gave him a deep kiss before she sat back in her chair. Lorie drank some of her wine while she got her emotions back under control.
“How about you, Spencer?” Clay asked. “What made you want to become a cop?”
Spencer took a swallow of his wine then set his glass down before answering. “It really wasn’t anything super meaningful. I guess I just never grew out of that little boy desire when we all wanted to be a policeman or fireman. I’m not a fan of fire and smoke, so cop it was.” Spencer shrugged like it was no big deal.
“I think it’s because you’re just a naturally good person,” Lorie told Spencer.
Lorie looked back to Clay, “Why did you choose hotels when you went into business for yourself?”
Clay shuffled in his chair a little and cleared his throat. Lorie thought her question would had been innocent enough, but it was obvious that something about Clay’s decision to open hotels was more upsetting than she had imagined. “I wanted to build something where people could stay when they needed to and they would feel safe while they were there.” Clay cleared his throat and paused. Lorie thought he was done sharing but right when she opened her mouth to say something Clay began talking again. “Honestly, the children’s home was something that I was always working towards. I knew that I needed to make some money first so that I would be able to provide everything for the kids the way I wanted. I didn’t want to worry about any kind of government funding. The hotels have put me in the position to handle any financial needs for the kids at the home.”
“He’s leaving out the fact that he has had a deal with the homeless shelters around each of his hotels since the first one went up,” Spencer added when Clay went quiet.
Lorie looked between them. She was surprised to see Clay look a little shy when Spencer brought that up. “What kind of deal?” she asked.
Clay rubbed the back of his neck and looked around the room, everywhere except at her or Spencer. “If they had any families or children come in who they don’t have space for they contact my hotel management. If we have rooms that haven’t been booked we let them stay in the hotel for free. It’s not that big of a deal really. I mean, the rooms would have just sat there empty so I figured why not let someone who needs it sleep in a warm room for a few nights.”
Spencer grabbed Clay’s hand and waited for Clay to look at him. “It is a big deal,” Spencer said. “You give them a safe place to stay and you feed them while they’re there too. I’ve seen what can happen to those who don’t have anywhere to go.” Lorie noticed Spencer shudder slightly. She could only imagine some of the things he had seen in his years in law enforcement. “Your generosity saves the people you help far more than you might imagine. It is a big deal.”
Spencer squeezed Clay’s hand and rubbed his thumb back and forth over Clay’s knuckles in a soothing motion while he kept their eyes locked together. “I have to agree with Spencer,” Lorie told Clay. “I’ve worked with many kids who wound up on the streets, and anytime they aren’t sleeping out in the open and have somewhere safe to stay is a big deal.”
Clay gave her a small smile, but otherwise he stayed quiet. The waiter came back and cleared their plates. After a polite argument between Clay and Spencer over who would pay for dinner, Clay threw a couple hundred dollar bills on the table and they left. When they were all settled back in Clay’s car he turned so that he could see them both. “Come home with me?”
Lorie just stared at him for a minute. She was waging a battle inside herself. The responsible side of her told her she needed to go straight home. Tomorrow was a big day for Children’s Haven with Paul coming and she needed to be prepared. On the other hand, spending the night with Clay and Spencer just felt right. She wasn’t ready for the night to be over and leave these two. As if he knew exactly what she was debating in her mind Clay leaned forward and took her face in his hands and kissed her. It was the kind of kiss that takes your breath away. Soft but sensuous and mind numbing. With his mouth moving against hers Lorie forgot all about the reasons she shouldn’t go home with him. Spencer hadn’t answered Clay either, but when Clay released her and Spencer immediately moved in and began working her mouth with his, letting his tongue caress hers and sending her mind spinning, she knew he was on board.
When Spencer pulled away from her he leaned into Clay’s space and kissed him too. Lorie couldn’t tear her eyes away from the two men. Their kiss was more forceful and masculine and watching them had her whole body on fire. She bit her lip while she stared at them and when she saw their tongues dart out to caress each other’s she moaned out loud. Both Clay and Spencer groaned and pulled away from each other. They were breathing heavy, but so was Lorie. She’d never dreamed of being with two people at once, but Clay and Spencer together had her ready to strip down in Clay’s car right there in the restaurant parking lot. Spencer turned back to her and locked his eyes with hers, “We warned you about the moaning.” His voice with thick and raspy, and both men’s eyes were hooded with lust again. Lorie felt herself grow wet under their gaze and it only served to make her moan out loud again.
“Fuck,” Clay groaned. He turned in his seat and put the car in gear. “You’re definitely coming home with me. Now.”
Lorie didn’t bother trying to argue. Right then she was so turned on after watching him and Spencer making out she didn’t want to do anything other than go home with both of her men. Her men. Yeah, she liked the sound of that. Lorie leaned back against her seat with a smile on her face keeping her body turned towards the driver’s side, so she could see both men on the ride to Clay’s house. Clay moved his hand across the center console and rested it on her thigh occasionally rubbing up and down. The contact sent chills up her leg almost like it was her sex he was touching instead of her leg. She watched Spencer in the back seat. He was sitting back watching her and Clay, and he would occasionally run his hands up and down his thighs clearly displaying his impatience. Whenever he did that Lorie would run her eyes down his chest towards the bulge at the front of his pants and bite her lip. Every time she did that Spencer would ball his hands into fists, and she could see his muscles straining as he forced himself not to reach out and touch her.
The third time Lorie bit her lip while staring at his growing bulge, Spencer leaned forward and put his face directly in her line of sight. “Bite that lip one more time and I’m going
to pull you back here. There will be no waiting until we’re safely behind the walls of Clay’s house.” He reached forward and pulled her mouth to his with his hand at the back of her neck and kissed her hard. The kiss took Lorie’s breath away, and she almost wished he had yanked her to the back of the car and had his way with her. They couldn’t get to Clay’s fast enough.
CHAPTER TEN
Clay
Clay thought he was going to lose it trying to get home with Lorie and Spencer teasing each other the whole way there. When Spencer threatened to pull Lorie to the backseat and have his way with her, Clay nearly came. As soon as he pulled into his garage he threw the car in park and reached for Lorie, threading his fingers in her hair and pulling her mouth to his. She opened right up for him and he thrust his tongue into her mouth, devouring her. The next thing Clay knew there was a large, strong hand on his back and Spencer’s mouth was on his neck, rubbing that light beard over the side of Clay’s neck as Spencer kissed and nibbled just behind Clay’s ear. He groaned into Lorie’s mouth before pulling away. “Inside now!” His voice was so thick, laced with his own desire, that he barely recognized it himself.
The three of them were out of the car in no time, and Clay didn’t waste any time opening up the house. Clay grabbed Spencer and Lorie by their hands and led them straight to his bedroom. He had dreamed about this since the night of the Children’s Haven ball and he was eager to have them both naked and in his bed. Clay stopped at the end of his bed and pulled Lorie to him with his hands cupping her face. He kissed her soft and tenderly at first, but when she grabbed onto the front of his shirt and began pulling him even closer he groaned and thrust his tongue into her mouth. She was so pliant; meeting his strokes with her own tongue and setting his body on fire.
Clay felt a hard chest press firmly against his back, and then Spencer’s hands were on his waist clutching him tightly. He could feel Spencer’s hard length pressing firmly against his ass, and the warmth coming off of Spencer’s body told Clay that the man had already stripped out of his clothes. When Spencer ran his tongue up the side of Clay’s neck he quickly brought his head back, releasing Lorie’s mouth and moaning. The sensation ran all the way down his spine and straight down to his erection, which was already straining against his pants. Spencer brought his mouth up to Clay’s ear, “You’re wearing too many clothes.”
Apparently in agreement with Spencer’s observation, Lorie began working her hands down Clay’s chest releasing the buttons of his shirt along the way. Once she reached the last button she reached up inside of his shirt and pushed it off over his shoulders. Spencer reached around him from behind and made quick work of unbuttoning his pants, then he bent and pulled Clay’s pants and boxers down in a split second. Clay moved forward, stepping out of his pants. Lorie stepped forward and ran her hands down his chest. He grabbed them when she got to his waist, stopping her before she could touch his erection. “Uh uh,” he shook his head at her. Lorie’s response was to poke her bottom lip out in a full pout, and he couldn’t resist the urge to lean forward and nibble that lip. When he pulled back he released her hands so that he could bring his hands to the hem of her shirt. “Your turn,” he said as he began lifting his hands and pulling her shirt along the way.
Spencer walked around and stood behind Lorie. While Clay pulled Lorie’s shirt over her head Spencer removed her pants with the same ease he had Clay’s. She stood between then in nothing but a pair of white lace panties and matching bra. Spencer worked the clasp at the back of her bra while Clay bent and pulled her panties down her beautiful legs. Clay stayed on his knees in front of Lorie and looked up, watching as Spencer brought his hands around to cup Lorie’s full breasts in his palms. Clay ran his hands up Lorie’s thighs while keeping his eyes on her and Spencer. When Spencer brought his thumb and finger together over both of her nipples deftly rubbing the hard peaks between them, Lorie sucked in a ragged breathe then let her head fall back against Spencer’s chest.
Clay moved his hands up Lorie’s legs to the apex of her thighs and slid a finger through her wet sex and felt her shiver in response. He kept his eyes turned upward to watch Lorie’s reaction as he leaned forward and swiped his tongue over her sensitive flesh. Lorie cried out and her knees went weak, but Spencer wrapped one of his arms around her waist and held her up. “So ready for us already, love.” Clay held her thighs apart and blew on her sex, making her moan. Unable to hold back anymore he brought his mouth to her sex and began working her clit with his tongue.
“Clay! Oh god!” Lorie called out.
Within second she was rocking herself against his mouth, and her whole body was trembling with pleasure as Clay devoured her like a starved man. It wasn’t long before she began crying out and trying to clamp her thighs together as pleasure took over and her orgasm tore through her. Clay continued teasing her sex with his tongue, riding out her release until her body went lax. Clay stood up and ran his hands over Spencer’s hands and her breasts, then he reached up and cupped her chin tilting her head up so he could give her a soft kiss. When he stepped back, Spencer turned her around and planted a lingering kiss on her while lifting her and carrying her to the bed.
Lorie laid back on the bed, propped up on her elbows. Spencer turned around and grabbed Clay’s arm pulling him forward until they were chest to chest. He wrapped his hand around the back of Clay’s neck and pulled Clay’s mouth to his. The kiss was demanding, and the way Spencer fucked Clay’s mouth with his tongue made Clay ache to feel Spencer fuck him for real. Clay reached between them and wrapped his hand around their thick erections, rubbing them both together as he moved his hand up and down. Their combined thickness made it difficult for Clay to keep his grip around them both. After a moment he let go and began rolling his hips so that their erections rubbed together with each move. Spencer broke their kiss with a groan and dropped his face into Clay’s neck. “Fuck, Clay. If you keep that up I’m going to cum right now.”
Lorie gasped after Spencer’s warning and both men turned their heads to look at her. She was watching them with her bottom lip caught between her teeth, propped up on one elbow with her legs spread wide, and her other hand was rubbing slow circles over her sex. Clay groaned at the sight in front of him. Seeing Lorie touch herself was the hottest thing he had ever seen. Clay couldn’t resist the urge to stroke himself while he watched Lorie rub her fingers over her clit. He could hear Spencer’s breathing getting more labored beside him and when he turned towards Spencer he saw that Spencer had the same idea as he had. Spencer was using one hand to cup his balls while he ran his other hand up and down his thick, hard length. He couldn’t wait any longer.
Clay turned to Lorie and crawled onto the bed over her. He grabbed her arm and pulled her hand away from her sex, then he lined his head up to her core and plunged inside. “Agh!” he cried out as Lorie’s heat sheathed him. He couldn’t remember anything ever feeling as good as being engulfed in Lorie’s warmth. He didn’t move for a minute, wanting to allow Lorie time to adjust to his sudden invasion and enjoying the ecstasy that he felt inside of her. When Lorie began wiggling her hips trying to create friction between them, Clay pulled back and pushed into her again, slowly. He pumped into Lorie’s sex a few more times before he felt Spencer’s hard body pressing against him from behind. Clay felt a slight chill when Spencer circled his entrance with fingers covered in lube. Clay pushed against Spencer’s hand and reveled in the contrasting sensations of pleasure and pain mixed together when Spencer’s fingers pushed inside. Spencer worked Clay’s prostate, driving him wild, and Clay responded by thrusting hard and fast into Lorie making her cry out and rake her nails down his chest. Far too soon Spencer’s fingers were gone, but Clay soon felt the distinct pressure of Spencer’s erection pressing against his entrance. With his teeth ground together Clay looked back and growled at Spencer, “Now!”
Spencer didn’t need any further encouragement. He gripped Clay’s hips and pushed his thick length inside, slowly filling Clay. “Fuck, Clay. You’
re so tight.”
Clay watched Lorie’s face while Spencer slowly pushed inside of him. Her breathing was heavy, and her eyes were locked on Spencer over Clay’s shoulder. Clay couldn’t resist the urge to taste her lips. He parted Lorie’s lips with his and slowly fucked her mouth with his tongue. When she bit his lip he groaned and jerked inside of her. The movement caused more friction between Clay and Spencer as well. He turned his head so he could see Spencer and reached his arm around to pull Spencer’s face to his. Clay ravished Spencer’s mouth, both of their tongues caressing the other. Clay pulled back but kept his grip on Spencer’s face for a moment. “Fuck me, now, Spence.”
Spencer grabbed Clay’s head and pulled their mouths back together as he thrust himself deep inside of Clay, filling him completely. Clay pulled away from Spencer’s mouth and held himself over Lorie, taking her mouth in a hot, passionate kiss. As Spencer fucked Clay, he thrust into Lorie and she wrapped her legs around his hips. Clay felt Spencer’s hands release his waist as the other man brought them to Lorie’s legs and gripped her behind her knees while he continued fucking Clay senseless. It wasn’t long before Clay felt himself on the brink of exploding. The combined pleasure of being deep inside Lorie’s heat while Spencer fucked him from behind was overwhelming. Lorie’s breathing became louder and more labored as she moaned and called out both men’s names. When her legs started shaking around Clay’s hips he knew she was close. He took her mouth in another hard kiss and his thrusts went deeper as he moved faster. When he felt Lorie clamp down around him as her orgasm tore through her, Clay lost his last bit of control. He thrust frantically and Lorie cried out, “Oh god! Clay, yes!”
When Clay heard his name while Lorie’s pleasure overcame her he couldn’t hold back any longer. “Agh! Fuck!” His body shuddered when he came, his orgasm ripping through him as he rode out his orgasm.
