Snowbound

  Alex averted his gaze.

  “Are you afraid she’ll feel as if she has to choose one day?” Cameron spoke softly again, but he knew Alex heard him. “Just because there are two of us doesn’t mean she has to choose. She can have us both.”

  Alex turned on him. “After what Matt did to her? Are you crazy?”

  Cameron stood. “This is not the same thing. Neither one of us has a wife and kids stashed somewhere. We’ve been upfront and honest with her, and it will remain that way.”

  “And what happens when we’re so jealous we want to kill each other?”

  “We’ve been friends all our lives. As long as we keep communicating, we’ll be okay. I’d rather share her with you than lose her again. It’s that simple.”

  Alex narrowed his eyes. “I had no idea she’d affected you so much back then.”

  This time, it was Cameron’s turn to avert his gaze. “Yeah, well, now you know.” He finally met Alex’s gaze again, and the two stared at each other a long time until the sound of running water reached his ears. “She’s awake.”

  Alex nodded slowly. “All right. Let’s have her call her family if she needs to, and then ask her what she thinks of our plan.”

  “You’re okay with it?”

  “Yeah. Yeah, I am. Because one thing is certain. I’d rather share her with you, too, than lose her again.” Alex crossed to where Cameron stood and clapped him on the back. “Who would have thought this was possible?”

  Cameron snorted. “Not me. No fucking way.”

  Nina used the bathroom then poked her head into the bedroom, wondering if she’d imagined falling asleep with both men wrapped in her arms. She slipped between the sheets, rubbing her legs on the soft cotton. She’d always loved the feel of warm sheets. Soft voices floated down the hall, and then Cameron and Alex walked into the room.

  She smiled and stretched. “I was afraid for a moment that I dreamed the whole thing.”

  Alex lit candles, and soon the room was bathed in a soft glow.

  “The only dream here is you, beautiful Nina.” Cameron pulled back the sheet and smiled down at her. Nina sighed, admiring the muscled look of his chest and the way his skin shone in the candlelight.

  He pulled off his jeans and covered her body with his. Nina trembled, opening her mouth as he kissed her. When he took her wrists and held her hands overhead, she shivered. His cock rubbed against her pussy, soaking it in a matter of seconds.

  He sighed, sat back on his heels, and glanced around. As if reading his mind, Alex tossed him a condom. “Guess we’ll need to keep these in every room of the house.”

  “We?”

  He grinned down at her as he put on the condom. “Yeah, we.” Then he pulled her arms overhead again and held her wrists. The gesture sent more shivers up and down her spine. “Maybe you and Alex can move in here with me?”

  She cut her gaze toward Alex, who was removing his jeans. “And what do you think of that?”

  Alex grinned. “I say we go for it.”

  Nina was about to say something else, but Cameron distracted her by slipping his dick into her pussy, torturing her with slow thrusts and pulling out almost completely before delving back in all the way. She wrapped her legs around him but her arms were still pinned. All she could do was arch her back to push her hips higher.

  “You like being held down.” His voice was low and sexy.

  She moaned as his kisses trailed over her neck, his cock continuing to thrust in the slowest fucking she’d ever had. Every plunge massaged her clit, and she thought she’d go out of her mind if he didn’t let her come.

  He pulled out and moved off her, grinning as Alex donned a condom and then took his place. Nina shivered again as Alex held her wrists and slid inside, moving as slowly as Cameron had done. When he kissed her she greedily sucked his tongue, pushing against him with her whole body, silently begging him to fuck her faster, harder.

  Her orgasm was building, the pressure unbearable because it was so slow. Alex moved off her and Nina thought Cameron was going to take a turn again, but first he rolled her onto her stomach.

  “If this makes you uncomfortable you just say so and we’ll stop.”

  She was about to ask him what he meant when he pulled her arms overhead again and wrapped a silk scarf around her wrists, tying it just tight enough that she couldn’t free herself. “Oh my God…” She ground her pussy into the mattress, rubbing her clit. Her climax was so close, and now she was trapped, forced to submit to the two most gorgeous, sexy men on the planet. She never wanted this night to end.

  “Hang on, Nina, we’ll let you come soon.” Alex’s breath was hot in her ear. He licked her ear lobe, working his way down her neck. While Cameron lifted her hips and placed a large pillow under them, Alex gently stroked her back and hair.

  Her ass was now up in the air. Nina whimpered, so aroused she almost came without either of them touching her. Alex licked the side of her breast, and she thought she’d go out of her mind with desire. She felt Cameron move off the bed, and when he returned, he massaged her ass cheeks, his wet finger sliding inside. When his other hand slipped under to stroke her swollen pussy, she could hardly keep breathing from the exquisite pleasure. Did he know what sweet torture he was inflicting?

  When he finally slid his cock into her pussy, filling her to the hilt from behind, he also stroked her clit. Her orgasm was insane. She screamed into the pillow and pushed her ass in the air, wanting more of him. He thrust hard and deep, prolonging the spasms until she could barely catch her breath.

  He pulled out and kissed her, moving down to lick her breast as Alex had done earlier. She heard the sound of a drawer opening, and then Alex was behind her, rubbing something wooden over her ass.

  “If this gets to be too much just tell me, Nina. I don’t want to hurt you.”

  Nina heard the whoosh of air and knew what was coming before the first smack hit her ass. It stung like crazy, but the contractions in her pussy were like nothing she’d ever felt before. Cameron lay at her side and looked into her eyes, reaching under her left breast to gently stroke her nipple while Alex gave her five more hard smacks with the paddle.

  She was panting by the time he slipped his throbbing dick inside her. He thrust deep and hard as Cameron had done, and as another orgasm rocked her body, Nina screamed again. She’d never felt anything so intense in her life. Every crazy fantasy she’d ever had was coming to life tonight. She never wanted to leave this house.

  “Are you all right, love?” asked Cameron.

  “Just … overwhelmed.” Did Cameron just call me “love”?

  “Can we take turns fucking you? Is that all right?”

  “Oh … yes. Yes.”

  Cameron settled behind her and slipped his dick inside her pussy, while his hands massaged her ass cheeks. When he smacked them again she moaned. The paddling had made them so sensitive that any touch drove her to distraction. Cameron’s cock moved in and out of her, sending dizzying waves of pleasure though her body. When he withdrew, she thought Alex was going to take his place, but instead Cameron slid his dick into her ass, so slowly and gently that tears stung her eyes.

  He fucked her tenderly, which surprised her and tugged at her heart. He was so careful to make sure she was all right, and she hadn’t expected that. She hadn’t expected any of this. Not the revelation that these two hadn’t used her or made sure she lost her job, and certainly not the sex tonight again with them both.

  When he withdrew, he turned her onto her back to kiss her, and then he moved aside. Alex kissed her, and then he rolled her onto her stomach. He moved behind her and slid his dick into her pussy, his hands holding onto her ass cheeks for support as he fucked her fast and hard. Her nipples rubbed against the sheet, the friction creating a delicious sensation that competed with the contractions in her swollen pussy and the burning on her ass cheeks.

  Cameron lay next to her, and when he captured her mouth in a rough kiss, she whimpered deep in her
throat. Alex groaned as he continued his thrusting. Her pussy tightened around his cock, and her ass was on fire from his touch. Nina couldn’t believe yet another orgasm was building, and she let the sensations wash over her.

  Alex pulled out suddenly, and then his dick was inside her ass. He fucked her a bit more roughly than Cameron had done, but Nina was stretched enough to take it, and she loved it. When he came, it was loud and proud, and she shivered at the realization she could give him that much pleasure.

  Cameron moved behind her and pushed his cock into her ass again, and this time he teased her nipples as he fucked her hard and fast. Nina’s entire body contracted in an explosive orgasm. She closed her eyes, letting it wash over her, wishing she truly could stay here with these two forever.

  When Cameron finally came, he was still holding onto her breasts. Nina lay still, breathing heavily, drifting between wake and sleep. Someone untied her wrists and turned her on her side. She blinked a few times, trying to focus her eyes. Alex leaned over her, a glass of water in his hand. “Drink this.”

  She sat up, shaking her head to clear the dizziness, and gulped the cool water. “More please.”

  He walked into the bathroom, and she enjoyed the view of his toned backside. He and Cameron both were just as fit as she remembered them. When he returned, she drained the second glass and fell back against the bed.

  She was almost asleep again when Alex’s voice roused her. “Don’t you have to call your parents? The phones are working again. They must be worried sick by now.”

  Nina shook her head. The ride here seemed like it had happened days ago, and she struggled to remember why she’d been on the road in the first place. “No. I only told them I might come. For all they know, I stayed home tonight.” She rolled onto her side and drifted off to sleep again.

  Chapter Five

  Alex woke up Nina by waving crisp bacon in front of her nose. He and Cameron had made eggs, bacon, and toast. A fresh pot of coffee was ready, and both men were starving.

  “Oh yum.” She sat up and stretched. “Is it morning?”

  “Yes. Happy New Year. We’re starving. Put on something so you don’t distract us again and come eat.”

  “I didn’t distract you two. It was the other way around.”

  They leered at her while she made a show out of digging in her bag to find her robe. “How did my bag end up here? I put it in a different room last night.”.

  “I got it for you,” said Cameron. “Can we eat now?”

  She laughed. “All right, all right.” When she walked into the kitchen and glanced out the window, she whistled. “Holy shit. How much did it snow?”

  “Eighteen inches, according to the news. Looks like you’re stuck here for a while.”

  “Gee, how terrible.” She took a seat and drank half a cup of coffee before tasting the food. “I could get used to this.”

  He and Cameron exchanged a glance, and then Cameron cleared his throat. “Funny you should say that. We were discussing that last night.”

  She put down her toast and cut her gaze from man to the other, an odd look on her face. “Yeah, you both mentioned that, but I thought you were joking.”

  They reached for her hands at the same time, and laughed awkwardly as they contented themselves with each taking one.

  “Not joking,” said Alex. “We’re dead serious. We debated it six ways to Sunday, and as long as we keep communicating, we know it can work. Cameron has this big house with more than enough room for all of us, and even though it’s a bit more of a drive than I have now, we work together so we can take turns. Which reminds me.” He took a quick breath. “We never asked you if you have another job now that you’re home.”

  She blinked a few times, confusion on her face. “Um, yes, but I’m looking for something else. I’m with Forrester Group, but my position is being phased out by the end of March. They’re downsizing.”

  Alex and Cameron exchanged a glance. “Well, we’d like to change that, too. Did you know we started our own firm?”

  She nodded, surprising Alex. “I heard that through the grapevine. Gable-Easton, right? And you’re working on revitalizing the near east side. Everyone is talking about it. But I didn’t realize you had enough money to hire more architects.”

  “For you, we’d find it.”

  “I’m not cheap.”

  They laughed, but Alex was beginning to think this had been a huge mistake. Cameron was wrong. She wanted no part of this. Defeat crept over him, dark and ugly, and he struggled to push it away. “I know. You should be paid what you’re worth. So, how about it? Would you like to work for us?”

  “So, you’d be my bosses and my lovers? Do you honestly believe something like that would work?”

  He was dying inside. Every nerve ending was on fire. If she didn’t say “yes” he’d be the biggest chump on the planet. Alex scooted his chair closer and let go of her hand to brush a finger along her face. “Nina, we fucked up three years ago. Big time. We admit that. It doesn’t matter that we didn’t know what Josh was up to. We should have moved heaven and earth to find you, but we didn’t.”

  He cut his gaze briefly toward Cameron, who looked ready to bolt from his chair. “Look, if you don’t want the job, I understand. It’s cool.”

  “I do want it, but not as your associate. As a partner in the firm.”

  “Done,” said Cameron.

  Alex jerked his head toward Cameron, pissed off that he’d made a unilateral decision with his dick instead of a calculator, until Alex realized that Cameron was right. Nina was not only just as talented as they were, but she would help them make their pet project something very special.

  “All right. Agreed. We’ll make you a partner. Now, about the rest … we know this isn’t conventional, but we’re not conventional people. We never have been. Last night wasn’t only a game to us, anymore than three years ago was. We want you with us forever.”

  “How do you know?” Her voice was small and unsure, which wasn’t something he’d expected from her. “How do you know you won’t change your minds? What if you wake up one day and realize you’ve made a huge mistake and want out? I was kidding about the partnership, but since you offered it, what if you realize that’s a mistake, as well? Then what? Then I’m out again. Left with nothing.”

  She wiped tears from her face before either of them had a chance to do it for her. Cameron was by her other side now, stroking her arm.

  “Not a chance,” he said. “Alex and I talked about this, and we’re sure we want to do this. We’re not going to change our minds. You’ve been in our thoughts for three years. You have no clue how many times we both expressed regret at the way things turned out.”

  She cut her gaze toward Cameron, who nodded. “It’s absolutely true. Look. I have no idea how you ended up here last night and I don’t care. But I’m not going to argue with fate, and I’ll be damned if I lose you again.”

  “Same here,” said Alex. “We won’t let that happen. We can take this as slowly as you want. Move in when you’re ready. Until then, we’ll work it out. But please, Nina, please … give us another chance. A chance to make up for everything good you should have had in your life these past few years.”

  Her breath came in huge gasps as she fell into his embrace, and he held her while she cried. Cameron smiled, triumph and relief in his eyes, and Alex resisted the urge to high-five him. He closed his eyes and breathed in her scent, never wanting to let her go. He’d lost her once. He wasn’t going to let it happen again.

  ****

  Nina pulled out of Alex’s arms and looked into his beautiful eyes, so filled with sincerity. How could this be real? Last night had been the most erotic of her entire life, but she’d thought that about the night she’d spent with them three years ago, too.

  “You’re not secretly married, are you? Either of you? No girlfriends stashed somewhere that I’ll find out about one day?”

  They both shook their heads. “We’ve been pathetically celibate fo
r years,” said Alex. “Married to our new firm, and pining away for you.”

  “I won’t be merely your sex toy.”

  “We’re not asking you to be,” said Cameron. “This isn’t about sex. This is about us. The three of us. Together.”

  “It’s true,” said Alex. “We really did talk about this last night. Look, we know you’ve been hurt a lot. We aren’t asking for a fairytale come true here. We’re just asking you to give us a chance. I know it’s not the most conventional of relationships, but—”

  “I’ve done conventional. It didn’t work out too well for me.” That was an understatement.

  “Then give us a chance. Let us try to make you happy.”

  Her pulse raced. This was exactly what she wanted. It always had been. And these two had been on her mind for the past three years, as well. She could admit that now, finally. Her heart nearly burst with joy. “My family would freak.”

  Alex shrugged. “So don’t tell them.”

  Cameron chuckled, stroking her cheek. “That’s the best you can come up with? My family will freak?”

  She tried not to smile, but he’d nailed her. “It’s true. They would.”

  “I don’t think you really care all that much what they’d think.”

  Nina mentally ticked off the reasons why she should say “no”, or ask for more time to think about it, but each one sounded weaker than the next. She didn’t want to leave. There were no guarantees in life, but she knew one thing as certain as she knew it was New Year’s Day. She was crazy about these two, and if she left now she’d regret it for the rest of her life.

  They were every fantasy she’d ever had come true. And to realize neither one had stopped thinking about her all these years sealed the deal. It was romantic and sweet, and that was something Nina had never had in her life. She wanted more of it. A lot more.

  She picked up her toast and took a bite, even though it was cold now. “Well, you can cook pretty well. And the coffee isn’t half bad, either.”

  Cameron laughed. “We’ll learn to make better coffee. I promise.”
