Page 86 of Sharing Shadow Secrets
“Yeah,” I breathe, holding my gaze with Kyle.
There’s a heat building between us as he steps forward, sliding his hand onto my hip. Then he places his other hand—slowly, deliberately—over Brandon’s. Having both of their hands on me causes my heartbeat to skyrocket. It’s electric.
Kyle leans down, eyes locked on mine, and oh my God, he’s going to kiss me. He gets dangerously close to my lips but doesn’t make contact. We hold an intense stare as his hand trails from my hip to my ribs to my back, until he’s cupping the back of my neck. Andthenhe kisses me. It’s hard, commanding, and hot. My entire body tingles as he squeezes the back of my neck firmer. Then I feel Brandon’s lips on my neck again, and holy shit. This is amazing.
I let out a nervous sound and gently push Kyle back. Not because I want to stop—because I absolutely do not want to stop. But because I remember where we are. There are people around. So many people. Like my friends and my boss.
“She’s shy,” Kyle says to Brandon. “It’s cute.”
“She’s very cute,” Brandon says back to him.
Now I have a silly smile on my face. This is going to be fucking epic. I rest my hand on each of their shoulders. “Time to go, boys. Kyle, we’ll meet you at Brandon’s?”
He nods and I’m every kind of screaming meme.

Inside the SUV, Taylor peels off her pink wig and the hairnet underneath, shaking out her dark brown hair. She looks even more beautiful without the costume.
I’m grateful she’s not playing a character tonight. The last time I hooked up like this with Andrew—Kyle—it was with Kate, when she had purple hair. That relationship was performative. Always raising the bar for a new thrill. I don’t want tonight to feel like a performance.
I push the memory out of my head and squeeze Taylor’s thigh, grounding myself in her. This is different. I want it to stay that way.
But Taylor’s not some experiment. She’s my girlfriend. Maybe the realest one I’ve ever had even though it just became official. Tonight’s about her. Celebrating her. Spoiling her. Not me, although I’m also looking forward to Kyle’s touch.
I want her to be comfortable, to have fun, to try new things, and experience some of her fantasies.
I press the button to start the Range Rover and glance over at her. “What are you going to do with us?” I ask lightly, wanting to use the quiet moment to ease into a conversation about our boundaries prior to Kyle getting involved.
She glances around the car. “I’m up for almost anything … Wait. Did you get a new SUV?”
I chuckle. “This one stays at the lake house.”
“Of course,” she teases, then her expression shifts. “The fact that this is going down at your family’s lake house makes it even more insane.”
We share a smirk, the anticipation building. I love this part. The build up before.
“What do you want to do?” I ask again, this time more seriously.
“What doyouwant to do?”
I rest my hand on her leg again. “Make you happy.”
Taylor leans across the center console and plants a soft kiss on my cheek. “As my first official boyfriend, you’re already setting the bar unfairly high.” She rests her chin in her hand, staring at me lovingly. “I don’t think anyone else will ever compare.”
I grin. “Are you proposing?” She laughs, shaking her head. “Kyle and I are not strangers … What is okay for us to do?”
She shrugs. “Well, like, what do you want to do with him?”
I bite my lip. There’s something I haven’t said yet. Something I want. “He gives the best head.”
Taylor’s eyebrows lift. “Challenge accepted,” she says with a teasing smile. “Actually … I think I’d like watching that. Lie. Idefinitelywant to watch that.”
She wants to watch.Hot.
“You’re God’s favorite tonight,” I remind. “You get what you want. But we should still talk through it some. We’ll be back at my place in a couple of minutes.”
She leans back in her seat, biting her lip. “Can’t we just wing it? Let the vibes take us?”
