The bed dips as I take a seat at the foot of it.
Daxdyn leans against the beam of the footboard at my side.
“So … ” Darrio’s right, I’m terrible with confrontation, but I’m even worse at keeping my big mouth shut. “Have you two ever shared a woman before?” The two of them both study me with confusion tingeing their identical eyes. “Like at thesame time,” I say with hidden meaning.
At the discreet mention of a threesome, Darrio’s spine stiffens more so than usual.
A nagging voice in me tells me to shut the hell up and to not push my luck, but another voice, a voice that sounds suspiciously like Lady Ivory’s tells me situations like this only happen once in a lifetime.
“I’m not fucking my brother. Sorry to disappoint,” Darrio says with a pointed glare at me. A seriousness fills his hard gaze that makes my teeth sink into my lower lip to bite back my laughter.
Daxdyn tilts his head to look at his twin with a cocksure smirk. “Are you afraid to find out that mine’s bigger?”
A long puff of annoyance slips from Darrio’s lips as he drags his attention to his twin.
“In all our lives, the image of your cock has never crossed my mind. Until now. Thanks for that.”
“It takes a lot to get that beautiful image out of your thoughts, trust me,” Dax tells him with a wink.
What neither of them seems to realize is there is in fact a non-biased, third party in the room who knows first-hand whose is bigger.
But I just sit back and watch the show.
“Sharing is more Dax and Ryder’s thing anyway,” Darrio says with a sneering smile thrown his brother’s way.
That has me paying a bit more attention than I ever have in my entire life.
“I’m sorry, what the fuck did you just say?” I ask, standing to walk over to him.
I remember Dax and Ryder sharing a bed and I can’t seem to imagine the two of them together with a woman.
A woman who isn’t me, I mean.
My thigh bumps against Darrio’s and his big hand wraps around it, his thumb skimming my sex just slightly, before he pulls hard. His arms wrap around my hips as I fall into his lap.
He studies me for a minute, my heart thundering to life from the feel of his body all around me.
“This should be weird, shouldn’t it?” he asks in a quiet tone.
I shake my head at him. It honestly doesn’t feel weird.
My hand pushes up his bicep before my fingers tangle through his long locks.
“I want you.” My heart strikes hard against my ribs at the sound of his rumbling admission. “Let’s just see what happens.”
It seems vague. We’lljust see what happens.But then Darrio leans into me and I find myself forgetting to breathe for a few seconds. “The three of us are friends. We just need to be open with each other.” My gutter mind loves the idea of being open with them. Open. Wide open. “I’m willing to try this with you and Ryder and Daxdyn.”
I nod before realizing what he just said.
“What?” I pull back from him a little. “Ryder and Daxdyn?”
A frown tips his full lips.
“Yeah.”
“I’m not fucking Ryder.” For some reason outrage rings through my tone as if it’s preposterous for him to assume I’m sleeping with Ryder as well as his brother. “Just … you know … your brother.”
Gods above, I sound like an idiot right now.
