Page 42 of Perfect Three

He hesitated for a split second, then his arm came around her head, pulling her closer as his lips pressed tighter and tighter against hers.

She felt Jack move.Still holding her hand tight, he pressed against her.

Sebastian, meanwhile, pressed his tongue against her lips, trying to get her to part them.This was no peck on the lips—this was a kiss!She was in heaven.That kiss was every bit as wonderful as she’d imagined, filled with his control, orchestrating what he wanted her mouth, her lips, to do.

He finally broke apart but rested his forehead on hers.“Lucy,” he murmured then he sat back.

Jack dropped her hand, crouched forward, and touched the side of her face ever so gently, moving her head to face him.He smiled at her, then his lips were against hers.He kissed differently but just as exciting.His was gentle at first then more demanding as he fisted his hand in the hair at the back of her head.

Oh, wow.I could so get used to this!

When they parted, Sebastian cleared his throat then said, “I guess your answer is to take a chance!”

She tittered, noticed how stupid it sounded, covered her mouth with one hand, and nodded her head.

“Come here.”

He pulled her onto his lap and Jack settled on the couch alongside them.He lifted her legs and put them across his knees.

“So, Lucy Willis, I think we just take this slow and steady, let things happen however they may.”

“Okay.”Her heart had begun racing as soon as she made her decision.It still battered against her ribs.

“Let’s learn about each other, let our friendship develop.Later, we’ll talk about the Dom-sub thing, but for the moment I think we should all relax.It’s been a pretty intense few days.We’ll let you dictate things, decree how fast or slow we go.When you’re ready, we’ll talk about limits and wants.”

When Sebastian said Dom-sub, Lucy tensed, but it seemed like these men weren’t going to rush a newbie into doing things that she wasn’t sure about.

Sebastian, and Jack too, must have felt the sudden stiffness in her body, or maybe they could hear her racing heart, because Sebastian gave her a little hug and said, “We need to learn about each other, Lucy.Jack and I know what we like and don’t.We have no idea what you do, and I don’t just mean about sex.I mean everything.It’s like ordering you tofu or something else you hate and expecting you to enjoy it, all because you won’t tell me.So sit back and chill.Okay?”

Lucy nodded, squeaking, “All right.”

It felt a little weird sitting with them both, but Jack rubbed her feet, his fingers magic against her skin.She did know he was simply trying to put her at ease, but those fingers actually sent little tendrils of excitement directly up her legs.

Feeling brave, and kind of shaky, she leaned her head against Sebastian’s shoulder, and he gave her forehead a little kiss.

Jack looked over at her.“Do you like to read, Lucy?All those books in the library, are they just for show now?”

Ah, normal stuff to talk about.I can do that.“No, they’ve been collected over all the generations.My grandfather gave me a deep love of fiction.He and I would read together.My parents were avid readers, too.I love all genres except Westerns, and I’ve added my share of new books over the years.”

“Don’t get my man started on books.He’ll never shut up.”

Lucy lifted her head slightly to look at Sebastian.“Don’t you read?”

“Not as much as Jack.He’s always got his head stuck in a book.”

“So do you have anything you like doing?”she inquired innocently.

There was a pause before Sebastian answered.She caught the look he and Jack exchanged and knew exactly what they were both thinking.Sebastian chortled and ignored the question.

“So, did you have lunch, Lucy?”

She shook her head.

“What about breakfast?”

Again, she shook her head.

Sebastian wriggled her until she was partly facing him.“Why not?”
