By the time the brothers headed in an hour later chicken parmesan was already served. She sat at the head of the dining room table, and it didn’t feel right, but seeing as they were all staring at her, she knew she was going to be all right.
“You went to see our mom today,” Casey said.
“Yes. She helped me to put some things into perspective, and even though I’m still nervous about all of this, I want to give it a shot.” She saw that gained their attention. Each man took a seat, and she waited for them to take their first bite. “I don’t want you to see other people. I understand that I’ll be the only woman, but I will see to all of your needs.” Her cheeks were once again on fire.
“We have no intention of stepping out on you,” Parker said. Casey and Shawn agreed.
“I’m new to all of this. I want you to show me how you expect to be pleasured, what you like, what you don’t like. I want time to learn each of you.” Again, she was nervous. “I would like to start tonight. I’m not going to pick. One of you can do that. I don’t want to know either.” She smiled at each of them. “I have other ground rules as well.”
“We’re all ears,” Casey said.
“I don’t want to be bossed around. This house is my domain, and I’ll run it how I see fit. No interference from any of you. Trust me. I want you to all talk to me. Don’t keep anything away from me. I’m not a child.” She smiled at all of them.
“Is that it?” Shawn asked.
“Yep. That’s it.” She took another bite of her food, and she saw that her men wanted to talk.
Poppy liked that, her men. She wouldn’t let them down.
****
Casey stood outside Poppy’s door. Shawn and Parker had voted for him to be the first one to come and talk to her. He’d never been so damn nervous in his life. If he fucked up, what if he ruined this for his brothers? There were times he didn’t know what he was saying.
Knocking on the door, he felt like a horny little boy.
Get a grip.
This is important.
“Come in.”
There was no point in backing out now. He needed to get his shit together.
Entering her bedroom, he saw her smile. “Hey.”
“Were you expecting Shawn?” he asked.
She shrugged. “I didn’t even try to guess who’d be here first.” She stood up from the bed after putting her book down.
Her hair was once again piled on her head, and she moved toward him. She wore one of those sexy negligees that she seemed to like so much.
He’d already had a shower.
“This is the first time I’ve had a guy in my room,” she said. Her cheeks were a beautiful shade of red, and he saw she was nervous.
“What about Shawn?”
“When we got to about thirteen, Mom wouldn’t let us just have a sleepover.” She smiled at him, and then took his hands. He felt her shake a little beneath his touch.
“Do I make you nervous?”
She shook her head. “No, not at all. I’m not nervous.” She laughed. “I am a little. I don’t … I don’t want to disappoint any of you.”
“That’s never going to happen. There’s no way I’d ever be disappointed with you.”
“You never know.”
Her cheeks were bright red, and he didn’t want her to be embarrassed. Leaning in close, he pressed a kiss to her lips. “Nothing has to happen tonight. I just want to get to know you.”
Poppy moved a little closer, and pressed her lips against his. At first, she seemed hesitant, as if she didn’t entirely know what to do. Releasing her hands, Casey cupped her face, tilting her head back, which gave him perfect access to her lips.
When he plunged his tongue inside, she released a little moan.
He traced her mouth and then tasted her, wanting more.
“If I wanted us to, erm, to touch, would that make me sound like a total slut?”
“How do you want to touch?” he asked.
She took his hand, pressing kisses to the tips of his fingers then placing it on her chest, right over her tit.
His cock thickened instantly. He wanted her so badly, but he held it back, needing to keep his control.
“I want you to touch me, and to touch you. To learn what you like.”
Casey released her breast. Lifting her up in his arms, he carried her over to the bed, laying her down gently. He followed her down, tilting her chin back and kissing her lips.
Holding her in his arms was a dream come true. He never wanted to let her go. This moment was what he’d been dreaming about for so long. Kissing down her neck, he sucked on her pulse, tongue flicking over her flesh.
