Evan stopped midsentence at the sound of the patio doors in the other room opening. “Is that Crystal?”
He and Brent glanced out the window in time to see Crystal scurry across the backyard and disappear past the bushes.
“You think she heard us?” Evan asked.
“I’m sure of it.”
“We’d better go after her.” Evan started toward the door, but Brent grasped his arm.
“Yes, we should. But not yet. There’s something I need to say first.”
Twenty-four
Crystal hurried across the backyard, the place where she and Brent and Evan had all discovered how close they really could be, and continued down the stone steps, then out the back gate to the beach.
Her heart ached as she wandered along the edge of the water. Would Evan really move to New York? That was across a continent. If he did that, she’d probably never see him again. And the friendship between him and Brent would definitely be over.
She wandered aimlessly for a while, sadness swirling through her, scattering her thoughts. She couldn’t think straight. She felt overwhelmed and disheartened. Maybe talking to Sarah would help. Maybe Sarah would have some brilliant suggestion.
She turned back toward the villas and hurried along the beach. Disappointment seeped through her when she reached the lounge chairs and found Sara wasn’t in her usual place.
Sarah had told Crystal that if she wasn’t on the beach in the afternoons, she was usually tanning in the backyard, so Crystal headed toward the fence behind Sarah’s yard.
She opened the combination lock, then stepped through the gate and pulled it closed behind her. She walked up the stone steps, along the path leading through the exotic plants toward the villa, and then stepped out of the dense foliage to where the yard opened up and she could see the pool. She continued past the pool house and glanced around—then stopped.
Sarah was nowhere to be seen, but Kade … Her insides quivered. Kade stood stark naked—all muscular six feet three of him—with water running over his sculpted body, which glistened in the sunlight. She licked her lips as she watched him in the outdoor shower. He was glorious and masculine and sexy, especially with his huge cock hanging free.
But he wasn’t Brent or Evan.
He glanced up and smiled. “Crystal. What a delightful surprise.” His smile faded as he watched her standing there. “Is something wrong?”
“I…” Oh, God, she was going to lose it. Her eyes started to water and she tried to stifle a sob, then she stepped under the water and into his arms.
He gathered her close and held her against his body. Big, strong, muscular … and comforting. She shivered in his arms as he held her. Not from cold, but from the intense emotions tumbling through her.
Then she felt a prickle along her spine, and she knew she was not alone here with Kade. She glanced up to see Brent and Evan standing several yards away.
“Aren’t two men enough for you?” Brent asked, his eyebrows raised.
* * *
Crystal jerked back from Kade and stared at Brent and Evan. What must they think, to see her standing here in Kade’s arms, with him totally naked? To make matters worse, she realized that the warm water pouring over her had made the fabric of her dress essentially transparent. Her nipples were totally visible. And Kade’s cock had begun to stiffen.
* * *
It was clear to Brent from the stricken look in Crystal’s wide blue eyes that she thought he was angry to find her in Kade’s arms; but he wasn’t, and he was sure Evan wasn’t, either. They both knew how much she loved them. As much as she might enjoy sex with Kade and that huge cock of his, Brent knew her heart belonged to him—and Evan. He also understood that she’d just been looking for a friend to talk to. He held back a grin. Only Crystal would find that friend in the form of a naked stud with a cock like a stallion’s.
Brent stepped toward her, and Evan followed.
Kade turned toward them. “Hey, guys, there’s nothing going on here.”
Brent smiled. “I know.” He walked toward Crystal, trying to ignore how her hard nipples showed clearly through the wet, transparent material of her dress.
* * *
Crystal sighed in relief at Brent’s words.
“Kade, do you think we could have a moment alone with Crystal?” Brent asked.
“Yeah, of course.” Kade reached past her and turned off the shower, then grabbed his towel from a nearby chair and walked across the lawn toward the villa.
She drew in a deep breath, trying to calm her uneven breathing as Brent and Evan stepped closer.
Brent took her hand. “Sweetheart, we need to talk.”
She nodded. “I know. I heard Evan say he was going to take a job in New York, and…” She glanced from Brent to Evan, and her tears began to flow again. “Oh, Evan, I don’t want you to go. There’s got to be some way we can make this work out.”
He smiled warmly and took her in his arms, ignoring the fact that her wet dress was soaking his shirt and shorts. He stroked her wet hair back from her face. “It’s okay, gorgeous. Brent and I had a long talk, and”—he drew back and gazed into her eyes, his green eyes glowing with warmth—“we have a possible solution.”
Hope surged within her. “What is it?”
Evan slid his arm around her waist and turned toward Brent.
Brent stepped closer and stroked her shoulder. “Well, you keep saying you don’t want to choose between us.”
She nodded.
“So Brent suggested that maybe we could work out something where you don’t have to choose,” Evan said. “It would be a very unconventional arrangement, but we hope you like the idea.”
She nodded again, ready to explode if they didn’t tell her soon.
“We want to propose that all three of us stay together, in a committed relationship.” Brent stroked her shoulder. “For a while, anyway, to see if it will work.”
Her brows furrowed. “So we’re just going to put off when I have to choose?”
“No, Brent just means that we need to take some time to figure out if we can make it work. There are a lot of things to figure out.”
“And you’d be okay with this?” she asked Evan.
“Well, I already know that if you have to choose, you’ll choose Brent,” Evan said.
She gazed up at him and stroked his cheek. “Oh, Evan, I—”
He stopped her words with a kiss, then smiled down at her. “Don’t apologize. I understand. But that gives me all the more reason to try and make this work. And sharing you with Brent is not only better than not having you at all”—he smiled warmly, then gazed at Brent with affection—“if we can make this work, it will be even better than anything I could have hoped for when I first told you how I felt about you.” He locked gazes with her again and stroked her cheek. “Because what we can have with all three of us is so much more than I ever would have dreamed.”
She could see love in his eyes—as he gazed at her now and when he was looking at Brent a moment ago.
“Brent and I have a whole new relationship,” Evan continued, “making our friendship even deeper, and that’s all because of you.”
Evan took her hand in his, and Brent took her other hand.
“We have something very special together,” Brent said. “We work as a team. The three of us—loving together, living together—will be sensational. The love and support we’ll share will give us strength and happiness. We’ll be an unbeatable team in life. ”
“What about marriage and children?” she asked.
“Those are exactly the kinds of things we have to work out,” Evan said. “But if we’re all open to new ways of doing things—and this vacation has certainly shown we’re willing to consider some pretty wild things—then we should be able to come up with something that will work for us.”
“Crystal, are you okay not having a wedding? Or is it important to you to get married?” Brent asked.
“Because if it
is,” Evan said, “I can adapt to being the extra in the relationship if that’s what you need.”
Brent put his arm around Evan’s shoulders. “I convinced him that even if he’s not part of our marriage, if that’s the way we go, that he’ll never be on the outside looking in.”
“What do you think?” Evan asked.
Both of them watched her uncertainly, awaiting her response. She drew in a deep breath. This was a big decision. It would be difficult, and different. Others wouldn’t understand.
She smiled. But she didn’t care about any of that. All she cared about was that they would all be together. Committed to one another.
Warmth glowed inside her, and she squeezed their hands. “With all the love between us, I don’t think any of us will ever feel like we’re on the outside.” A quivering smile claimed her face as joy catapulted through her. “So, yes. I love it. Absolutely, yes!”
She threw her arms around Brent and hugged him tightly, then kissed him passionately. Then she turned in his embrace, drawing his hands to her waist, and opened her arms to Evan. He stepped into her hug and kissed her.
When he finally released her, he stared at Crystal’s breasts showing clearly through her soaking wet, white dress. She could see a growing bulge in his shorts.
“God, looking at you like that, woman, makes me want to tear that freaking dress off you and take you right here.”
“Well, you know, Evan, we did catch her in another man’s arms. I don’t know about you, but I think that means some punishment is in order.”
“Punishment?” she asked, her heart rate accelerating.
“Well, you must admit, you’ve been a very bad girl,” Brent said.
Evan crossed his arms. “Kade was part of this. I think he needs to be punished, too.”
Brent chuckled. “You’re absolutely right.”
Evan walked to the villa and went inside. A few moments later, he returned with a roll of gray tape in his hand and a broom handle. Kade, still naked, walked alongside him.
“Over to the bench,” Evan instructed Kade.
Kade winked at Crystal, then walked to the elegant wooden-and-wrought-iron bench on the side of the patio. Evan gestured for him to sit down, then Evan wrapped some of the duct tape around Kade’s wrist, then stretched his arm along the top of the bench and fastened his wrist to the wood. Evan fastened Kade’s other wrist in the same way. He then wrapped tape around Kade’s ankle, then drew a long strip around the leg of the bench, then back around his ankle again. Once both ankles were secured, Evan approached Crystal.
He stood in front of her and raised an eyebrow. “Hold out your arm.”
She hesitated, then raised her arm. Evan wrapped tape around her upper arm, just above her elbow, then turned her around and pulled the tape behind her and wrapped it around her other arm, effectively locking her arms to her sides. He wrapped tape around her wrists in the same manner, pinning them by her hips and thighs. He turned her back to face him. Brent handed Evan the broom handle.
“This might be handy,” Brent said.
Evan took it with a smile on his face. “You bet.”
He crouched down, and Crystal felt him wrap tape around her ankle, then fasten it to the long wooden rod.
“Stand with your feet apart,” Evan commanded.
She widened her stance.
“More.”
After she obeyed, Evan attached her second ankle to the wooden rod.
She now stood with her legs wide apart and her arms fixed at her sides. She felt open and vulnerable like this. She couldn’t stop them from touching her intimate opening, from pushing into her. The thought sent thrills through her.
Evan stood and handed the tape to Brent, then grasped her skirt and lifted it, exposing her naked sex. He held the fabric bunched together like a cloth ponytail cascading off the side of her hip. Brent wrapped tape around the bundle, holding it like that—leaving her totally naked from the waist down.
“Hmm. I like that.” Brent grinned, his hot gaze gliding over her clean-shaven folds.
Evan smiled as his hands stroked along her neck, then around behind, and he unfastened the tie on her halter-style dress. The fabric of her bodice fell forward, baring her wet breasts, and Brent tucked the loose fabric into the skirt so it didn’t cover anything below her waist. Both men’s gazes fell on her hard, puckered nipples.
“It looks like you were really turned on seeing Kade naked.” Brent’s hand glided over her nipple lightly, sending need rocketing though her, then slipped away.
“Were you?” Evan demanded.
She nodded, wide-eyed.
He leaned in close to her ear. “I can’t hear you. When I ask you a question, I want you to answer me. Do you understand?”
A quiver rushed through her at his no-nonsense tone. She had seen Evan like this only once before, briefly with Sarah, and she had to admit it turned her on.
“Yes, sir.”
“Yes, sir, what?”
“Yes, sir. I was very turned on seeing Kade naked.”
“Why?”
Okay, that’s how he wanted to play this.
“Because his cock is so big, sir.” Her insides clenched at the thought.
He nudged his head toward Kade sitting on the bench behind him. “So you like his big cock?”
Crystal glanced toward Kade, naked and bound to the bench, his semi-erect cock amazingly long and thick.
She licked her lips. “Yes, I like his big cock.”
“I can tell you’d like to take it in your mouth right now. You want to suck on it. Is that right?”
She licked her lips as she imagined his hard flesh filling her mouth. “Yes, sir. I want to suck on Kade’s big cock.”
“But you’re being punished, so that’s not going to happen.”
“That’s right,” Brent agreed. He walked toward Kade, then crouched in front of him. “But I think you should see what you’re missing.”
Crystal’s heartbeat stuttered as Brent wrapped his big, masculine hand around Kade’s cock and stroked it. Kade’s cock quickly grew fully erect. Brent leaned forward and wrapped his lips around the tip. Crystal’s breath caught as the huge cockhead disappeared into Brent’s mouth.
“Hey, I didn’t know I was missing out on a party.” Sarah closed the sliding door behind her and sauntered across the patio, wearing a pink terry robe. “If I’d known, I would have skipped shopping.”
“This isn’t a party,” Evan said in a stern voice, but he winked at her. “We caught Kade and Crystal together and we’ve decided they both need to be punished.”
“Oh, I see.” Sarah unfastened the tie at her waist and opened her robe, exposing her totally naked body. The robe dropped to the ground. “Well, I should be punished, too. After all, I encouraged this kind of behavior.”
“I see. You’re right. You should be punished, too.” Evan walked toward Kade and Brent. “Crystal admitted that she wants to suck Kade’s big cock. Of course, we won’t allow her to do that, so we’re showing her what she’s missing.”
“I could help with that,” Sarah offered.
“Right now, I want you to sit beside him on the bench.”
Sarah walked toward the bench, her beautiful naked body swaying sexily, then sat on the far side of the bench and watched Brent. Brent released Kade’s cock from his mouth and shifted to one side as Evan crouched on the other side. Evan leaned forward and ran his lips along the side of Kade’s generous cock. Brent mirrored his actions on the other side of the huge shaft. Crystal watched her men stroke their lips and tongues along Kade’s huge erection, heat building within her. The men moved up and down, then nuzzled the base. When they glided up this time, they continued off the end and their lips met. Her insides melted as her two men’s mouths moved on each other.
Twenty-five
Evan opened his mouth as Brent’s tongue slid inside. His friend’s hot, hard mouth against his set a fire within him. God, this was erotic and bad-assed, not caring what anyone thought,
just doing what felt good. Especially knowing there were two sexy women watching and getting mega turned on.
He drew away from Brent and turned to Kade. He licked Kade’s bead-hard nipple while his hand wrapped around the guy’s monstrous cock. He felt Brent’s mouth brush his hand as Brent took Kade’s cock in his mouth again.
Evan stood up and stripped off his clothes, watching Brent’s mouth moving on Kade’s big shaft. Evan then wrapped his hand around his own aching cock, longing for a hot mouth around it, and moved in front of Kade. He pressed his cockhead to Kade’s mouth, and Kade opened. Evan fed his long shaft into Kade’s mouth. Kade took him deep, then began sucking.
Brent stood and peeled away his clothes, then walked to Sarah. She grabbed his stiff cock and took it into her mouth. Evan watched her red lips surround Brent’s erection as Kade sucked Evan’s cock. While she continued to devour Brent’s cock, Sarah’s hand stroked Evan’s hip, then over his ass. Her fingers danced over Evan’s balls from behind, then glided away and found his back opening. Evan stiffened a little when he felt a finger push into his ass but gradually relaxed as Sarah stroked inside.
Kade swirled his tongue around Evan’s cockhead as Sarah’s finger continued to stroke. Intense pleasure built within Evan, and he sucked in air. Kade sucked hard while Sarah’s talented finger continued stroking Evan’s anus. Heat shuddered through him and he knew he would soon blow. Sarah’s thumb pressed on Evan’s perineum and pleasure exploded through him. Intense and mind-blowing. Evan groaned as he ejaculated into Kade’s mouth.
* * *
Crystal watched as Kade and Sarah brought Evan to climax. Beside them, Brent’s cock glided in and out of Sarah’s mouth like a piston. Suddenly he drove forward and shuddered, clearly filling Sarah with his semen.
This was true punishment, since she ached so badly for her own release. She desperately wanted someone to come over and touch her, to lick her—to fuck her.
