Stroke of Luck

“Why are you knocking on the bathroom door?” she asked.

“It’s not the bathroom. It’s a second bedroom.”

The door opened, and Austin stood in the doorway.

“Austin, my wife would like you to join us in bed. If you’re not too busy.”

Austin broke out in a big smile. “You two have finally figured out you’re meant to be together. Thank God.”

The happiness he felt for his friend and for April was heartfelt and joyous, but a part of him wished it could have been him she’d chosen.

“Not only that,” April said. “We know that we’re meant to be with you, too.”

“Yeah, man,” Quinn said. “It’s official. We want you to be April’s second husband. Even if it’s not on paper.”

Although Austin had made it clear to Quinn that he wanted them to keep on sharing April, he’d assumed that when they finally figured out they wanted to be husband and wife, A

ustin would be an occasional guest in their bedroom.

But he now filled with hope that maybe it would be more than that.

“It sounds like you two are proposing to me.” He leaned against the doorjamb and crossed his arms, his grin broadening. “But I’m not sure. If it’s really a proposal, it should be done right.”

Quinn arched an eyebrow. “You want one of us to get down on bended knee and propose?”

April giggled. “Wait a minute, Quinn. I’ve got this.”

She stood up, then with a slow, graceful fluidity walked toward them. It was the most seductive thing Austin had ever seen. He couldn’t take his eyes off the sway of her hips.

Until she shed her suit jacket, then started unbuttoning the blouse. As her creamy breasts were revealed, his cock swelled. The blouse fluttered to the floor, and she unzipped her skirt. It slipped away, and she stepped out of it.

Austin’s grin faded as he watched her step closer, desire surging through him.

When she stood in front of him, she smiled in a way designed to make a man’s heart—and cock—leap. Then she reached around behind her back and unhooked her bra. When she revealed her firm, round breasts, the dusky rose nipples thrusting forward, his groin tightened.

“Austin,” she said in a deep, sultry voice.

Then she took his hand and brought it to her mouth. The feel of her soft lips fluttering light kisses on his palm sent shivers through him. Then she turned her wide blue eyes to his, and he saw a sweet vulnerability in those depths.

“I’m married to Quinn, but I’m also in love with you,” she said. “Ever since the first moment I met you, you’ve been kind and generous and truly caring. You tried to protect me, and you did everything you could to bring Quinn and me together again. You are a true friend, a very loving man, and I really want you to be a part of my life and our marriage.”

At the sheen in her eyes, he felt his own eyes prickling. His heart swelled. She wasn’t doing this just because having a threesome was a fun adventure. She actually loved him.

And he loved her.

To his surprise, she knelt down in front of him and kissed his hand again.

“Mr. Austin Wright, will you be my second husband and live with Quinn and me as husband and wife and husband, for the rest of our lives?”

“Oh, fuck.” He dashed at a tear springing from his eye and dropped to his knees in front of her. He grasped her shoulders, staring deeply into her lovely eyes. “Of course I will. I love you, too.”

He pulled her to him tightly, taking her lips with a depth of passion that soared from his soul. When he finally released her, she giggled, and he saw the pure joy in her eyes. He laughed, too.

His gaze shot to Quinn. “And you know that I love this guy, too.” He grinned. “As a brother. But I don’t mind getting down and dirty in the bedroom with him and the woman we both love.”

He felt a tug on his shirt and realized that April was unfastening his buttons. She pulled his shirt open, then snuggled against his bare chest. The feel of her naked breasts against him made him groan happily.
