“I was worried about you. I wanted to make sure you were okay.”
“Is that all? You just wanted to know if I was okay?”
A lump formed in her throat. “Actually, I was afraid you might be dead.”
His teasing grin faded and he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight. Then he drew back and gazed at her with his penetrating blue eyes. She was sure thoughts of Ben flickered through his mind, too.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you.”
She nodded, twisting her ring back and forth, afraid to speak because her voice might quiver with emotion.
“Janine, we need to talk.”
She nodded, totally unsure of what she would say to him. He took her hand and led her to the couch, then they sat down.
“Janine, I know you think I won’t be able to fit into your lifestyle—to accept that you’re with other men—but I think I’ve made big steps forward. I was doing well on the weekend.” He stared at her resolutely, intent on convincing her. “I was totally okay with Derek and Jonas. In fact, I actually found it pretty sexy watching you with them. But when I saw you with Liam and realized…” His jaw tensed. “I hadn’t been prepared for you to have genuine feelings for someone else. I’ve been hoping … desperately wanting you to want me as the main man in your life. Although I might want things to be different, the only thing that’s really important to me is that I’m with you. Loving you. And you loving me. And if I have to share you—not just your body, but your heart, too—then I’m willing to do that.”
Before the words could really sink in, he drew her close and captured her mouth again. As his lips moved on hers, her heart swelled. Did he really mean it?
“Sloan, you don’t need to share me anymore. I think I’m finally ready to settle down with just one man—and that man is you.”
The uncertainty in his face tore at her heart.
“I am happy to hear that, but I don’t think it’s fair of me to ask you to change.”
“You’re not asking me. I’m offering. I want to do everything in my power to make this work.”
A huge grin lit up his face. “Just hearing that tells me that I’m the only one who has your heart. Thank you, Janine.”
He drew her into his arms and held her tight. When he pulled away, his eyes were filled with heat. “What if I were to tell you now that I’ve had a taste of your wild side, I’m addicted? I don’t want to dial it down sexually. Just the opposite. I want to push the boundaries even further.”
She smiled. “You do keep telling me how hot you find it when I’m with the other guys.”
“True. And after experiencing all these adventures with you, I think you’ve ruined me for a regular one-on-one with a woman.”
She laughed. She couldn’t believe Sloan was not only willing to make such a huge leap forward, but he was even joking about it.
Or could it be that the follow-the-rules Sloan wasn’t so much who he was really meant to be as it was a persona he’d taken on after Ben had died? Maybe Sloan was really more of a free spirit like her, and he simply needed someone to help him let go.
He cupped her cheek. “Janine, I love you so much. Will you give me a chance? Will you help me become the man you want me to be?”
At that, tears prickled at her eyes and she smiled. “Oh, Sloan. You are exactly the man I want you to be.” She kissed his lips tenderly. “And I will do everything I can to ensure I show you just how much I love you, too. And how we can share that love with others.”
She nuzzled under his chin. “But right now, it’s just the two of us here, so I think it’s the perfect time for some one-on-one sharing—if you don’t think that will be too boring.”
“Boring? With you, nothing is ever boring.” He grinned. “But I actually have another idea.”
He grabbed his phone and tapped several keys, then pocketed the phone again.
She narrowed her eyes. It was an odd time for him to answer a text.
“So what’s your idea?” she asked.
He stood up and pulled her to her feet, then his mouth consumed hers. His hands stroked down her back and glided over her butt. Then he squeezed, sending her hormones thrumming. Her breasts swelled as they pressed tight against his solid chest.
A knock sounded at the door. Sloan released her, then opened the door. Liam stood on the other side. He stepped in, a concerned expression on his face.
“So … what’s the situation?” he asked, his gaze wandering to Janine.
She blanked her expression and sent Sloan a hidden wink, then turned to Liam.
“Well, I’m interviewing for a male harem. You two are my top two candidates. Are you up for it?”
He glanced to Sloan, who couldn’t hide his broad grin. Liam’s mouth curled in a grin, too.
“Well, not yet, but I will be.”
He strode to her and dragged her into his arms, then kissed her until she was breathless. She felt Sloan move behind her and his hands wrap around her waist. His lips found her neck and he nuzzled.
She slipped out from between them and backed toward the couch, then sat down, smiling. “Let me see what you’ve got.”
Both men unzipped their trousers, then dropped them to the floor. Liam’s impressive cock, already rising, pushed out from his boxers, which Liam pushed down to his ankles and stepped out of. Sloan’s even bigger cock jutted straight up. She wrapped her hand around it and stroked, then tugged on the elastic of his boxers and pulled them down. He kicked them away.
Now both men stood in front of her, naked from the waist down, their two big cocks sticking straight up.
“Well, you certainly both have impressive equipment.” She wrapped a hand around each of them and stroked.
She leaned forward and licked Liam from root to tip, then did the same to Sloan. She stroked Sloan up and down while she licked Liam again, then glided her lips around him, sucking his cockhead into her mouth. She swirled her tongue around the tip, then sucked and squeezed until he groaned. She released him and lapped at Sloan’s cockhead, then swallowed him into her mouth. The large, mushroom shape filled her mouth. She sucked Sloan as she stroked Liam.
She released them both, then sashayed toward the bedroom, shedding her shirt as she walked. The two men hurried after her. As soon as her shirt slipped to the floor, one of the men unfastened her bra, and both tugged a strap from her shoulder. She slipped the bra off and tossed it aside, then knelt on the bed facing them and cupped her breasts, lifting them as if offering them to the men. Her thumbs stroked over her rigid nipples. The men’s gazes heated with lust.
She watched hungrily as Sloan unbuttoned his shirt, revealing hard, muscular flesh beneath. He dropped the garment down his shoulders, then to the floor. She licked her lips at the sight of his big, muscular, naked body. Liam shed his shirt as Sloan knelt on the bed and grabbed her wrist, then pressed the palm to his mouth as he stroked her breast. Liam sat down and stroked her other breast. The feel of two masculine hands on her, stroking her with different pressure and style, set her body aflame. Liam licked her nipple, and she glided her fingers through his short, sandy hair, pulling him to her. Sloan captured her other nipple and sucked. She sighed at the delightful feel of two mouths on her.
Sloan grabbed her other wrist, tugging her hand from Liam’s head, then guided her with him to the head of the bed and pulled her onto his cross-legged lap, facing her toward Liam. He held her hands trapped at her sides while Liam grinned, then feasted on her breasts. His tongue swirled over one hard nipple, then the other. He covered one with his mouth and sucked on it. Deep. The pressure sent sensations spiking through her, and she moaned. She melted back against Sloan.
Liam kissed downward, past her navel, then grasped her knees and pressed them wide. His lips teased downward, past her golden star-shaped curls. When his tongue lapped against her clit, she sucked in air. Pleasure quivered through her.
Sloan released her wrists and covered her breasts, squeezing and stroking as Liam teased her s
ensitive nub with his tongue and his fingertips found her slick opening and glided along it. His finger slipped inside and he stroked her inner passage.
Sloan nuzzled her neck. His hard cock pressed into her back and she reached between them to stroke him. Then she wrapped her hand around him. Liam grasped her legs and drew her down the bed, until her head rested in Sloan’s lap. She turned her head and grasped Sloan’s big cock and took it in her mouth. She could glide only a little below his cockhead at this angle, so she wrapped her hands around his thick member and stroked while she sucked and squeezed him. Sloan stroked her long hair back from her face as Liam stroked her inside, his tongue flicking on her clit.
Liam sucked, and wild sensations shimmied through her. Sloan caressed her breasts, then tweaked a nipple, and Janine gasped. Liam stroked her inside as he vibrated his tongue on her clit. Her fingers spiked through his hair as her body shuddered. She gasped as an orgasm washed over her.
Liam smiled at her as he prowled up beside her. She smiled back, then rolled over and knelt in front of Sloan.
“That was great, but”—she wrapped a hand around each of their hard cocks—“now it’s time for a doubleheader.”
She leaned forward and kissed Sloan. Liam knelt behind her, and she felt his hard erection glide between her thighs. He pressed to her slick opening and slid into her vagina. Her eyelids fell closed as she enjoyed the sensation of his hard shaft gliding into her several times. Then he pressed against her back opening. She pushed her inner muscles to open for him, and he slid into her, his big cock stretching her tight passage.
Sloan gazed at her with intense blue eyes. “It is so sexy watching you while Liam pushes inside you.”
He wrapped his hand around his own cock and pressed it to her front opening. Slowly she eased forward, taking him inside her. His huge, thick cock filled her. Slowly. Gliding inside. Penetrating her deeply.
When he was finally fully immersed in her, she drew in a deep breath, enjoying the feel of her two men filling her so wonderfully.
“You like having us both inside you, don’t you?” Sloan asked.
“Oh, God, yes.” She leaned forward and kissed him. “Now, would you both please fuck me?”
Liam chuckled and wrapped his hands around her hips, holding her tight against his body. Liam drew back, taking her with him. Sloan’s cock caressed her insides as it moved out. Then Liam pushed forward, driving Sloan’s cock into her again. She squeezed Liam inside her as he oscillated forward and back, thrusting Sloan’s cock in and out. It was as if Liam were fucking Sloan through her. Plus, she got the benefits of both hard cocks filling her so deeply.
As Liam continued driving Sloan’s cock into her, intense pleasure shuddered through her. She clung to Sloan’s shoulders, concentrating on his riveting blue eyes as the cocks filled her and joyful sensations rippled through her.
“Oh, God, you’re both making me…” She gasped, then moaned. “Oh, you’re making me”—her hands tightened around Sloan’s shoulders—“come.”
She cried out as she rode the wave of ecstasy, compressed between her two men. They stiffened and groaned as one as they climaxed with her.
Finally, they all fell back on the bed, sighing in satisfaction, their limbs tangled together. Sloan tugged her against his body, facing him, and Liam snuggled up behind her.
She smiled in total contentment. This felt so right. There might still be hurdles ahead, but she knew in her heart they would absolutely find a way to make it all work.

Janine gazed at Derek across the table as she told him their news.
Liam and Sloan sat on either side of her at the round table in the outdoor riverside café that she frequented with Derek.
“So you and Sloan are moving into a committed relationship. That’s great.” Derek smiled at her warmly. “I’m really happy for you.”
“And we’re hoping you and Liam will still join us, just like always,” she said. “Jonas, too, when he’s in town.”
He glanced at Sloan, who nodded.
Derek’s grin broadened. “That’s an invitation I sure won’t turn down.”
Liam chuckled. “Smart man.”
“Now, at the risk of being tossed out as a troublemaker, may I make an observation?” Derek asked.
Janine’s eyebrows arched. “Sure. What is it?”
“Well, the gender dynamic seems to be wildly out of balance.” He sent her a devilish grin. “I’m thinking maybe there should be another woman in the mix.”
Sloan grinned and settled back in his chair. “Actually, that’s a great idea.”
Liam chuckled. “I’m game.”
Janine gazed from one smiling masculine face to another. All their gazes rested on her, waiting for her response.
Watching Liam and Derek make love to another woman … Watching Sloan make love to another woman … How did she feel about that?
She narrowed her eyes and gazed at each man in turn. “Another woman? Hmm.” She drummed her fingers on the table absently, as if carefully considering the suggestion. Finally, she leaned back in her chair, folding her arms in front of her. “Well, you know what I think about that?”
Sloan nodded, looking wistful. “I’m pretty sure.”
She allowed a slow smile to spread across her face. “I think it’s an exceptional idea.”
Sloan’s eyes widened. “Really?”
She had to stifle a giggle at his shocked expression. “Sure. I think it would be incredibly hot.”
Derek chuckled. “Sloan, this woman is going to keep you off balance constantly. Are you sure you can handle it?”
Sloan’s arm curled around her waist and he tugged her tight to his body, then captured her lips in a firm kiss.
“Not only will I handle it”—Sloan grinned at her, melting her heart—“I’m going to love every minute of it.”
She smiled back at him, joy swelling through her. So would she!
