Her Two Lovers
Page 3
Jon let out a breath. “We know it’s kind of an unusual request.”
“Unusual? Try completely crazy.”
Neither Jon nor Brian spoke. They simply looked at her, stared at her, until four beautiful eyes, two dark and two green, burned into her heart like flaming arrows.
Finally, Jon narrowed his gaze. “Are you attracted to either one of us? In that way?”
Uh, yeah. Completely hot and horny for you both, thank you very much. She fidgeted with the coins draping her breasts. They tinkled above the din of the restaurant. She lowered her head, unable to meet their penetrating gazes. “Yes,” she said softly. “I’m attracted to you. To both of you.” She raised her head and looked first at Jon, and then Brian. “You’re gorgeous, amazing. You have wonderful hearts. I dearly love you both. How can I possibly choose one of you? How can you ask this of me?”
“Believe me, sweetheart”—Brian took her hand and lightly massaged her palm—“if there were any other way, we’d do it. But we’re both crazy in love with you, Eve. If there’s a possibility you could feel the same way about one of us, the other could never take away that chance for ultimate happiness.”
Jon nodded. “Bri and I have talked about this, honey. We figured the only fair way was for both of us to woo you.”
“And what if I don’t choose either of you?”
“Then at least we tried,” Brian said. “Right now, we’re both suffering. Maybe one of us doesn’t have to suffer.”
Oh, God. She didn’t want them suffering. Her heart nearly broke at the thought. Should she tell them she was in love with both of them? How would they react?
She shook her head. She was fucked. Utterly, completely, totally fucked. What to do?
“I’ll tell you what,” she said. “If you’re really serious about this—”
“Oh, we’re serious, honey,” Jon said.
“Okay. Then I’ll spend an evening with each of you. Go out on a date, stay in, whatever you want to do. Tomorrow’s Friday. We could start then.”
That was the only way. Maybe she’d realize she loved one of them more than the other. Someone would get left out in the cold, but what could she do? Either that or reject them both, and then all three of them would be miserable.
“That work for you, Bri?” Jon asked.
The other man nodded. “Sure. So who’s first?”
Jon pulled some loose change out of his pocket. “We flip a coin.”
“How original,” Eve said.
“Hey, it works.” Brian smiled and turned to Jon. “Heads I win, tails you lose.”
“Ha-ha.” Jon flipped a quarter in the air. “Call it.”
“Heads,” Brian said.
Jon caught the coin and flipped it over to the back of his hand. “Heads it is.” He showed them both the results. “Tomorrow night, honey, you’re with Bri. The night after, it’s my turn.”
Eve plunked her elbows on the table and cupped her head in her hands. At the same time, her nipples ached and her pussy throbbed. What had she gotten herself into?
Chapter Two
Eve inhaled the spicy scent of tomato, garlic, and basil as Brian set the table with the Italian takeout he’d brought home.
“So where’d Jon go off to tonight?” she asked.
“Don’t know. But he agreed to give us the night. And I’m leaving tomorrow.” He smiled, and his emerald eyes sparkled.
Her heart skipped. “Yeah? Where are you going?”
“I’m staying at Anna’s.”
