“A closed door means I want to be alone. Give me a minute, okay?”
Just a minute, so she could push all her thoughts aside to analyze later and be the Tessa the two men knew. And the one who could jump back into her old life. She didn’t understand how sex had changed her so much and needed time to work through her emotions.
The door opened, and she knew immediately it was Locke. He never waited for anyone or anything.
She was surprised he didn’t step inside though. When she peeked over her shoulder, she saw him standing on the threshold, Gage two steps behind him. It seemed it would be impossible to get any solitude until she was back at her place.
“Are you all right?”
Damn, and now he sounded concerned. He sounded like he cared, but she knew that was impossible. “Yes. I’m fine. Just not hungry.”
“May I come in?”
Pushing her shoulders back, Tessa softened her expression before getting up and facing the men. “Do you have any board games around? We may need one if the power doesn’t come back soon.”
She tried to pass them, but Locke blocked her. “What’s going on, Doctor?”
From the way Gage looked at her, she knew she had them worried and there was no way around it. “I’m fine.”
“You keep saying that and I don’t believe it.”
There was no way she was baring her soul right now. She only needed to say enough to end the discussion. “My mind keeps going to what’s about to happen. What if Luther was warned. What if he escapes? What if it all falls through? All your efforts, all your sacrifices, for nothing.”
Without realizing it, she started pacing the room. Locke stepped in, followed by Gage. The men looked at each other, probably thinking she was on the verge of a breakdown.
“It’s constantly in my mind and I can’t do anything about it. What if what I told Tyrone isn’t enough? Did I think everything through enough? Could something I’ve said cause the operation to fail? All those helpless women… What…”
Two strong hands spun her around and a mouth crashed onto hers. Gage. Her body reacted, but it wasn’t what she wanted even if she did crave a connection to someone. In the confusion of her mind, she was about to push Gage away, when a wall of muscle caught her from behind, making it difficult to get away. Locke pushed her hair aside, nipping at the juncture of her neck and shoulder, sending shivers down her spine. His hands on her hips, he pushed the fabric up until his fingers reached her skin, giving her the contact she needed. If it was the only way, or the last time to have Locke before everything was over, she would take it. She would take them both.
Gage teased her mouth with his tongue until she finally allowed him access. Her hands ran up his muscled arms while he sucked at her tongue. His hungry mouth abandoned her lips to lap at her skin. Head bowed back, Tessa heard Locke’s breath in her ear as Gage ripped her blouse open. Both men discarded her torn top and bra so fast it made her head spin. Gage lavished her breasts, tracing her areolas before gently closing his teeth around the tips. Tessa felt restless and unsteady at being assaulted by both men. As Gage slowly lowered himself, Tessa flung her arms back and grabbed Locke’s short hair.
Locke quickly replaced his friend playing with her nipples, his warm breath in her ear.
“You are so fucking beautiful as you submit like that, your body shivering, your moans. God, I could come just hearing your pleasure.”
Tessa felt Gage tug at her pants and wanted to look down, but Locke restricted her head with one hand. “Leave him be. Let us distract you until your body shuts down and your voice is raw from screaming.”
Shivering, naked between the two fully dressed men, she let herself fall back as Gage caressed her legs to the top of her thighs. “And if I want to pleasure you too?” The question held a hidden meaning as she wanted to finally have Locke’s cock deep inside her. Almost as much as she dreamed of kissing him.
Now she could hear a smile in his voice. “Always on the giving side and unused to being on the receiving side, aren’t you? Well, I believe we can think of something.”
Cradled in his arms as he caressed, pinched and tickled every inch of skin he could reach, Locke secured her position as Gage slowly picked up one of her feet and placed it over his shoulder.
“Hang in there, Tessa, I’m going to do something I’ve been dreaming of doing from the first time I saw you.”
His rough fighter hands slid inside her thighs, until he reached her engorged inner lips. Tessa leaned back on Locke even more. She was slowly losing her mind with the sensory overload and the anticipation.
“Tell me what Gage is doing, sweetheart.”
Tessa tried to look back at him, but again, his strong arms kept her immobile. With a tongue that traced the shell of her ear, she could feel his arousal against her back. His accelerated breathing and his own arousal fueled her own. “You’re crazy.”
Gage’s fingers were light as a feather, almost ticklish against her sex.
“Come on, I’m waiting. I want to know everything he’s doing.”
Blushing, Tessa swallowed hard, trying to steady her breathing, amazed at how brazen she had become. “He’s … he’s caressing me.”
“Where? How?”
