“Is she really that sweet?” C.J. asked, caressing her cheek and tilting it to the right.
“Find out for yourself,” York said, holding her hips as C.J. pressed his lips to hers. It felt so good, almost perfect as he kissed her tenderly and slowly. When he released her lips and held her gaze, she felt so happy and relieved.
Then Hunter gave her hair a light tug. “Hey, beautiful, I need a taste, too.”
She turned toward him and wrapped her arms around his neck as he lifted her up and against him, and she kissed him before he could kiss her first.
That kiss grew deeper, wilder, faster, and soon Hunter had her pressed up against the side of the building with York and C.J. standing guard.
She ran her fingers through his hair, felt his light beard tickle her skin and arouse her even more so. Her pussy clenched and she felt it leak cream and she moaned into his mouth. His hands moved along her hips and up to her breast. When he cupped the mound, she moaned louder and thrust her hips against his crotch.
“Damn, that’s hot,” C.J. said, drawing her back to the present and the fact that they were on the side of the building of Spencer’s and anyone could come around the corner and see.
Hunter slowly released her lips and held her tight. “Thank you, Caroline. For trusting us and letting go.”
She smiled and felt a little embarrassed until C.J. pressed up against her back and fixed her blouse and her skirt. He let his hands glide under her skirt against her thighs and then he gave her ass a tap. “Come on, sexy. We need to say good night to everyone and head out.” He took her hand and she went to him but not before looking over her shoulder at Hunter and York. Both men looked so sexy and serious. She finally was beginning to understand how a relationship like this one could work when all involved were honest and had such strong feelings. Was she ready to be intimate with them and open up her heart completely? She just wasn’t sure she could show such vulnerability, even though her body and heart wanted to.

Shelby was working late in the office. She’d just finished up an important document and needed to go over things with Kenneth like he asked her to earlier. The only light on in the office was her small one at her desk and the one in the hall that led to Kenneth’s personal office. She walked down there with the file in hand and the documents to go over. She tweaked her neck, shifting her head to ease the ache she felt. She saw him sitting at his desk working. His sleeves to his dress shirt were rolled up, revealing his thick, muscular forearms. She loved his office. It was rich looking, with a huge library of books, various certificates and awards he received, and other photographs with famous people. He was well known and had a lot of connections in business and in the legal area, plus in the military.
She knocked on the door and began to press it open. He didn’t look up at first, knowing it was her. They were the only ones there and it made her uneasy.
“I have the report for you, and the letter,” she told him.
“Great. Come on in,” he said as he stood up. He looked at her and she shyly lowered her eyes as he took the folder from her.
He opened it up and placed the file on the desk then took one of the letters to read it to himself.
“Have a seat,” he said, never looking up, being so businesslike and authoritative. In some ways he reminded her of Skip, but lately she was thinking that her method of coping with the attraction she felt for him and his brothers wasn’t working so much. It was becoming difficult to resist their charms and push them away when they were all so nice. She couldn’t give in, not with Skip still out there and not with the damage that had been done to her. She could never be intimate with a man again, never mind more than one. She felt tired and her neck and shoulder hurt. She reached back and tried massaging the spot.
“You feeling okay?” he asked her.
“Just a neck ache. I’ll be fine,” she said and then he reached from behind her, placed the letter onto the table, and then placed his hands on her shoulders. She tightened up.
“Relax, Shelby, maybe I can help.” He started to massage her shoulders and her neck. She was resistant at first but he had great hands. Big, hard, muscular hands that seemed to ease the ache she felt from her neck and shoulder. The problem was that ache now extended to other body parts. She was shocked by the effect the man had on her. Sam and Bender caused the same reaction but she was able to avoid them more easily than Kenneth. He was her boss.
“How does that feel?” he asked her.
“Good,” she said softly and realized that she was losing focus and not remaining guarded. She stood up and turned toward him.
“Thanks, is there anything else you need?” she asked.
He pressed closer and placed his hands on her hips. “I wish you would let me in. Just let down that guard of yours and just feel what’s happening here.”
“Nothing is happening here,” she replied.
“Don’t lie to me, Shelby, it’s not becoming.”
“I don’t lie.”
“Prove it.”
“How?”
He stared at her lips. She felt her pussy clench and her nipples harden.
“Tell me you feel nothing.”
