Hunter (Stud Ranch 2)

“But not for that piece of shit little pyramid scheme you’re trying to sell me,” Liam said. “I want something else.”

Sean’s mouth dropped open. “It’s not a—”

“Shut the fuck up,” Liam snapped. “Do you want the money or not?”

Sean immediately nodded his head but Brigid’s eyes narrowed. “You said you wanted something? What?”

Liam smiled at her. “Smart girl.” He looked over at Sean. “Makes me wonder why she’s with you.”

Sean laughed, like Liam had meant it to be a joke. He hadn’t.

“What do you want?” Brigid asked again.

Liam walked over to her, ignoring Sean. He held her eyes as he walked so close their chests almost touched. Her breathing got shorter and she backed up a step. Liam smiled at her.

Maybe doing this would finally help him out of the funk he’d been in. His father kept telling him that money meant power. Maybe it was time for him to test out that theory.

“I want to make an indecent proposal,” he whispered, reaching out to brush a piece of Brigid’s hair behind her ear. “A threesome. Me and the two of you. But I call the shots.”

If Liam thought her breathing had been uneven before, it was nothing to the way her breaths went shallow at this.

“Absolutely n—” Brigid started at the same time as Sean said, “Okay.”

Brigid looked at Sean incredulously.

“What?” He held up his hands. “Babe, it’s not like we haven’t done threesomes before. I know it gets you hot.”

“Did you tell him about that?” She sounded horrified.

Sean shrugged. “We’re best mates.”

Liam stopped himself just short of scoffing at that.

Brigid looked back to Liam. He stepped close again. “I’ll make it good for you,” he said in a low whisper. “I’ll worship every inch of your body.” The hair had fallen loose from her ear and he reached for it again, his fingers hesitating at her temple. “I promise to make you feel cherished.”

As he slid the lock of hair behind her ear again, he moved in and whispered so that only she could hear, “I want to make you wet and then suck the sweet juices off your pussy. I want to lick you up and down and then fuck you with my fingers until you can’t stand it anymore. And then I’ll tease your clit with the very tip of my tongue. Because a meal like you deserves to be savored.” He whispered this last bit right into her ear and then nipped the bottom of her earlobe, tugging gently with his teeth.

A shudder went through her body. She pulled back and looked at him. Her cheeks were flushed, and the freckles dusted across her nose became even more apparent.

“Okay,” Sean clapped. “So where are we doing this? Should we take a lift over to your apartment or—”

“Take off your clothes,” Liam ordered, never taking his eyes off Brigid. “Both of you.”

“Here?” Brigid’s voice was little more than a whisper.

“Here.” Liam had made use of the space plenty of times before. So much so that they kept a bag of his things ready for him along with the martini.

Out of the corner of his eye, Liam saw Sean shrug and then start to unbuckle his pants. What a fucking bastard. He’d get what was coming to him.

Liam turned all his attention back to Brigid. Her eyes were round, watching Liam like a startled deer.

He reached and gently turned her around by her shoulders so that she was looking in the mirror. And then, ever so slowly, he slid one strap of her slinky dress off her shoulders. And then the other.

Her breath hitched and her hands came to her chest as the fabric fell down her arms. Liam glanced in the mirror. Damn, she was gorgeous. Pale skin flushing so prettily. The scatter of freckles extended down her shoulders and he wanted to lick every one of them.

He lifted her hair from her neck and started kissing her. “You’re so beautiful.” He massaged her shoulders and down her upper arms as he continued his assault on the back of her neck. This, finally, felt like a challenge. Would she allow herself to be seduced in front of her boyfriend?

“Do you like to tell a man what to do?” Liam asked, his long fingers massaging even further down so that just the tips of his fingers grazed the sides of her breasts. “Or do you like it when your lover takes charge?”
