His shoulders drop lower as though he’s trying to make himself smaller. To somehow hide within himself. “I couldn’t.” When he stares at me again, his eyes hold a tortured darkness. “I know how deeply Josh loves you. How long he’s hoped the two of you would become lovers.”

Josh takes my hand and holds out his other to Devin. “A secret I was unable to keep. Not when my man knows me so well.”

Devin’s soft snort seems to deny Josh’s statement. Finally he crosses the room to perch on the end of the bed but ignores Josh’s hand.

I’m not sure how or where to start this conversation and from the silence of the two men, they’re just as clueless. Somehow that seems to make the situation feel less strained. A question pops into mybrain and exits my mouth before I think about it. “Did you enjoy watching us?”

Devin bites his lip and shifts to stare across the room to the open door to the rest of the suite. A glance at Josh shows his wide eyed surprise. Guess neither of them expected me to ask such a direct question. Tightening the sheet over my breasts, I settle in to wait. I’m not going to let him get away with not answering.

Before long he shifts again, this time to face me. “Yes.”

Even after the night of sex with Josh, my lady bits go wild. Hoping my voice doesn’t tremble, I ask my second question. “Did you want to join us?”

This time he doesn’t turn away. His light eyes go dark and his lids drop half way to cover his expanding pupils. “Yes.”

The wrinkled sheet covering me rubs over my nipples and my inhale becomes a soft gasp. I glance at Josh. His expression remains surprised. I don’t know if he’ll approve or feel rejected by my next words. If I take time to ask, the moment could disappear. Maybe forever.

Patting the mattress at my side, I hold Devin’s gaze. “Then join us.”

His eyes close. He shakes his head. “No.”

“But…”

“Keni.” He holds one hand to me, the other toward Josh. “I’m not denying you, sweets. We do need to… talk.”

I cross my arms and jut out my lower lip. Josh gives a soft chuckle, and Devin rolls his gaze to the ceiling. “Darlin’,” Josh says softly. “I don’t think that cute pout is going to work this time.” He faces his lover. “So, talk.”

“No. Not here. Not like this. We need to… I have a couple ideas for the day that will give us time enough to talk. Once the two of you are cleaned up and dressed.”

The clearing of Josh’s throat draws my attention and reluctantly I release Devin’s gaze.

Josh slides one hand up his arm to rub his shoulder. “You’re right, hon, we can’t talk here. And I can’t… um… clean up in the same room as Keni. We’d never leave.”

Unconcerned with his nudity, he stands, winks at me, and rests one hand on Dev’s shoulder. “Did you see the donuts we brought home? You have got to try one. Or two. While I shower. They are fabulous.”

Bless Josh for diffusing the sexual tension surrounding us. Until the three of us are honest with ourselves and each other, the best action should be to keep everything light and easy. Devin’s shoulders have relaxed and I don’t feel quite so jittery, so the tactic must be working.

Then he jerks Devin to his feet and into a tight embrace. Their mouths crash together as Josh fiercely claims a kiss. A low, near growl, rumble from his chest as he nips at Devin’s lip. My lady bits reignite. They’re not going to get much of a rest around these two. I’ve seen them kiss many times before and been titillated. Never like this though. Not this powerfully. And, until recently, I’ve never wanted to share in the moment.

Their kiss ends and both men stare at me but I have no clue why. Josh arches his brows and gives me a sultry, wicked grin. Dev’s eyes close as he licks his lips. Then his mouth moves as though he’s tasting something. Savoring a lingering flavor. Oh. My. God. Josh had gone down on me and given me a glorious orgasm right before I’d straddled his hips. The kiss he shared with Devin couldn’t have tasted… like me. Could it?

Josh grabs his lover’s hand. “Come on. Thesooner we get going…” He leaves the statement unfinished but I’m sure each of us understands what he means.

The sooner we can all be together.

“So where’s the car?” Devin spreads his hands and turns in a circle. “Don’t tell me you misplaced our rental.”

“I… uh… didn’t have a choice about leaving it. The guy who married us took the keys. I didn’t argue, I’d had a lot to drink.”

“I appreciate how he kept you and Kendall safe. But where’s the car now? Some chop shop?”

Not sure why Devin is getting so bent out of shape over this, I turn toward the wedding chapel entrance. “I’ll go check with the chapel staff.” At the door I’m met with a huge ‘Closed until 3pm’ sign. I stride back to face Devin’sscowl. “Or not.”

“Hey guys,” Keni calls. She’s wandered away and stands at a tall fence separating two small parking areas, peering between the slats. “Is that our car? I don’t really remember anything about it, but maybe?”
