“And when I do this.” He cupped her cheek, brushing his lips over hers. His tongue pushed between her lips, finding her tongue with a single flick. She melted into his lips, falling for his kisses. He broke away. “When I do this, it’s about you and me.”

She nodded. “I understand.” She turned her mouth upward, she wanted another kiss, and Drew answered with passion. He growled, inhaling her lips with a fierce kiss.

“I’ve got some work to do.” He rose from the couch. “Are you sure you’re ok with this?”

“I am. Better than ok.” The more she asked questions, the better she felt. The more she talked to Hunter and Drew, the more she realized they meant every word they spoke. They were happy sharing her. It was an arrangement they enjoyed.

“Did I hear dinner?” Hunter walked into the living room a minute later. He was shirtless like Drew.

“Not yet. Should be here in a few.”

Hunter dropped his athletic frame on the couch and turned on the flat screen TV. “What do you think about basketball?” he asked.

“I’ll watch anything.” She cuddled under his arm, inhaling his clean scent. The shower had been amazing.

The entire night was amazing. There was a new kind of peace that wrapped around her. She had found contentment where she least expected it.

Drew typed furiously on his laptop at the dining room table.

“What’s going on over there, man? Why don’t you take a break?” Hunter asked.

Drew’s brow furrowed. “Because the wording is off on the announcement. It sounds amateurish. I need to fix it.”

“Can I help?” Alison offered. She pushed off the couch and stood behind Drew.

“If you have a suggestion for this.” He pointed to the two lines of the opening statement. He was right. Whoever had written, had misdirected the speech.

“Can I try something?”

Drew rose from his seat, giving her the laptop. Alison deleted what was on the screen and started over. Members of the media might only stay for the opening comments. Social media would grab the first seconds and run with them. Drew needed something that would set the agenda for their meeting. The punch needed to come from the beginning, not ten minutes into his talk. And she had a soft spot for the foundation. She wanted it to be their beacon of hope. She wanted other people to see what she saw in them.

“What do you think about something like this instead?” She gave him his seat back so he could read the new introduction she composed.

“Brilliant. Fucking brilliant, baby.”

He had a wide grin on his face.

“Really?”

He stood and kissed her. “It’s exactly what we needed.”

She reeled from the kiss. She was starting to feel like a pinball, bouncing from Hunter to Drew, jolted by passion from each one. She liked how she reacted differently to them. It heightened everything around her.

The elevator buzzed. Hunter hopped over the back of the couch. “About time. I’m fucking starving.”

He pressed the button to let the waiter into the secure suite.

He wheeled in two carts of food. Alison looked at Drew. “You two are going to eat all of that?”

He shrugged. “I might have ordered a few things for you to try.”

She pressed her lips in a straight line, but she wasn’t angry. It was sweet. He wanted to do something special for her.

“Thank you.” She reached on her tiptoes to kiss him. “I’ll try all of it.”

He laughed. “You’ve been so adventurous tonight I didn’t think you’d want to stop.”
