He positioned Reece with her knees either side of Scarlet’s head and urged her down to rest on her hands. Scarlet grabbed onto Reece’s thighs and pulled her down more, until her mouth could reach Reece’s sex. Her Reece was starting out hot, wet, and frustrated, poor girl. She felt Malachi move over her, behind Reece. Together they teased and licked at her – Scarlet a little jealous at the screams he elicited so easily. They were going to have to compare notes.

Not to be outdone, she redoubled her efforts. The sexiest sound was Reecebegging and making no sense. Malachi moved up and moments later his condomed cock thrust into their girl. Reece’s cry of pleasure shot straight to Scarlet’s groin.

She watched for a few minutes, her vantage point making things even more interesting. He grabbed Reece’s hips and pounded into her, the rhythm quite obviously working for Reece. Scarlet leaned up again, swirling her tongue around Reece’s swollen little clit. Reece squealed and pressed against Scarlet’s mouth. She sucked and her kitten froze like she was suspended in time. Two more hard thrusts and a keening wail was forced from her. Scarlet slid upward and watched both of her lovers as they came together. She pressed a hand between her own legs to try to curb the ache there. Her clit wanted another orgasm, but the rest of her heartily protested.

Not tonight. She smirked. They were going to have to figure out how to get everyone off at the same time one of these days.

When they had subsided into a pile of panting, sweaty people with roaming hands, she was glad to see that everyone was looking blissful. She’d somehow ended up in the middle, Mal and Reece’s faces close as they kissed and nuzzled at her.

“Was that okay for you?” Malachi murmured. “Are you sore?”

“Very sore, but I’m not sorry.” She smiled and he kissed her, his lips lingering there as they breathed each other’s air. He was even beautiful this close up.

He made an amused noise and broke the kiss. “So you’re my submissive now, right?”

She rolled her eyes. “Nice try, buddy. That statement was made under duress.”

On her other side, Reece laughed. Malachi’s responding grin was the kind of sexy that made her melt. “Good.”

“Good?”

“Yes. I’m looking forward to having that debate with you again. Often.” His voice was already sounding interested again. Someone needed to make that kind of energy illegal – weren’t guys supposed to need a break in between? He’d gotten off pretty much twice in a row. By now he should have been tired and ready for a nap.

“Often?” She was annoyed by the quaver she heard in her voice, and she tried to sound braver. “It doesn’t hurt as much after a while though, right?”

“No. And when it stops hurting, I won’t have to be so careful.”

She gave him a dirty look but squirmed. For some reason she liked it when he was rough.

Reece rolled her onto her side and spooned up behind Scarlet, lacing their fingers together. Their girl made a contented sound that was almost a purr. It should have been their kitten cuddled between them, not her, but for now she was too lazy to move. A lock of Reece’s hair had tumbled onto Scarlet’s shoulder, and she pressed it to her face and inhaled. Blissful.

The small whispered kisses Reece placed on the back of her neck made her shiver. Mal was lying on his side now, facing her – his free hand tracing tickling lines over her skin, sliding to do the same to Reece, then returning to her.

She was getting sleepy, but something was still bugging her. “So that thing you do with your tongue, Mal, can you show me how to do it?”

He thought about it for a minute. “You’d have to pay.”

“With?”

His eyes studied her face. “We’ll discuss my terms another time – once I’ve decided what they are.” He winked at her.

Scarlet had a sneaking suspicion that whatever the terms were, he’d make her love it.

Avoiding her hadn’t been very nice, but Scarlet had to admit that was precisely what she’d been doing. They’d always gotten along so well – talked about everything.

Even when she was in middle school she’d had no hesitation in being honest with her. But knowing that she’d disapproved of Malachi and had been happy when he’d gone back to Ivy and wasn’t coming over anymore made things difficult. She hadn’t told her yet that he was back, let alone that he was back for good.

Her mother answered the door and hugged her immediately.

“Where the hell have you been? You two are never home anymore. I keep trying to call, but it’s like you’re on a permanent vacation from your voicemail.”

Guilt twinged. Her mother was one of the most open-minded people she knew.It wasn’t fair of her not to give her a chance. Sometimes it just felt easier not to have to deal with the possible fall-out. Now she knew how Reece had felt about introducing Scarlet to her family. With a smile, her mom pointed to a stack of magazines that were sitting on the table in the foyer. “I got those for Reece. I thought she might enjoy them.”

When Scarlet fanned them out to see what was there, she realized they were all wedding magazines. Subtle, Mom.

Jeeves, the resident yellow lab ambled up and leaned into her for a scratch, which she complied with before he got insistent. He trailed after them as her mother led her into the kitchen and put on a pot of coffee.
