He ran his hands up her legs, nails scratching lightly on her inner thighs as he hooked his thumbs into the fabric of her panties. “Watch. Listen. People give out clues all the time as to what they want.”
“You’re doing it to me now, even while I try to read you and make the decisions.”
He tugged the material down an inch at a time, teasing her skin with the slowness. “It’s not something I can turn off, I guess. But it simply means I want the best for you.”
She placed a hand on his shoulder to balance as she stepped out of the flimsy material.
What did he want?
His rising cock made the answer pretty clear.
She glanced at Matt, but he only smiled, easing himself into a comfortable position in the pool. The watcher wanted to watch—andshewanted Tim.
Tim planted a kiss on her thigh. “May I?” he asked, teasing his fingers up the inside of her leg.
She hesitated.
“Don’t deny yourself something I really want to do,” he coaxed.
“You can’t turn off the bossy part, can you?” Erin shuffled her shirt higher again, twisting so Matt had an unobstructed view.
“You don’t mind,” Tim muttered, leaning in and nuzzling her belly. “Jeez, so soft. So perfect. I need to taste you.”
He eased his fingers through her curls, and right about then, Erin gave up worrying about who was in charge. This was all about sensation, especially as he found her clit and stroked it gently, leaned in close and applied his tongue.
Erin braced herself the best she could as Tim buried his face against her and thrust his tongue into her pussy. He planted his hands on her ass to hold her in place as he licked greedily, throwing her body to the edge of pleasure far more rapidly than she’d expected.
It wasn’t just his touch. It was being watched as well.
Hell, it was everything leading up to now, and Erin confessed, “I liked getting to order you around a little, but I like you in control even better.”
The sound of splashing water briefly drew her attention to the side, where Matt was now out of the pool and moving closer.
What was next? What did the situation call for? Did she ask Matt to join them again, or let him simply keep observing? Coaxing her brain to focus while Tim went down on her was nearly impossible, but she tried. She threaded her fingers into his hair and used him as an anchor to stay vertical.
Matt paced around them, one hand wrapped around his cock as he pumped lazily. His gaze dropped over her, falling onto Tim, totally mesmerized as he continued his slow journey.
That was when she noticed it. A gaze that lingered for a second longer than necessary. A little more heat aimed in a direction she hadn’t expected. She checked again, but it was real. Matt wasn’t just getting off on being there while she and Tim fooled around.
He was watching Tim with something near enthrallment in his eyes.
A ripple went through Erin. A sensation she wasn’t used to at all—
Jealousy.
Followed immediately by shock, because Tim seemed unaware that his friend not only liked to watch, he liked to watchTim.
The lack of awareness seemed so out of character—he was the one who always knew exactly where everyone was. What they were doing. What they needed. But he seemed blind to the fact that his good friend was as turned on by being next to him as by her presence.
Did she point it out? Was that the next decision to make? Images leapt to mind of all that powerful male flesh around her connecting intimately, and suddenly it wasn’t just Tim’s talented tongue flicking in slow circles over her clit that made her moan.
Tim and Matt fooling around? God, part of her would give anything to watch some of that.
A near-paniclike rush hit her, of the responsibility she held. What if the revelation wasn’t welcome on Tim’s part? He’d said she should never be afraid of sexual attraction, but he’d never mentioned that he was okay with exploring that kind of new territory. Maybe he did know Matt was interested, only had chosen not to act on the attraction for his own reasons.
On the other hand, what ifMatthad been holding on to this information for years? Perhaps he didn’t want to bring a new element into a relationship that had been around for a long time and seemed rock solid in spite of how seldom they got together.
Suddenly there were no scenarios that didn’t end in someone being hurt, and the hugeness of the decision became nearly overwhelming. She wanted the best for them, which meant her first impulse of asking Matt to join them and working toward a little guy-on-guy time was not going to happen.
