Love Bites

“Innocent, adorable, and shy. Thanks for the compliments.”

Chuckling, he sat up and cupped her cheek. “You’re also wickedly sexy, and I want nothing more than to peel off your pants and do what I did last night all over again.”

She pressed her thighs together at the throb in her clit. Oh yeah, she wanted that too. So badly she feared having to change her underwear before she got to work.

“You really think I’m sexy?” she asked, hating the insecurity in her voice.

“Oh yeah.” He turned his face into her hair and took a deep breath. “I get hard every time you look at me, Blue Eyes.”

It didn’t take much effort to glance down and see he wasn’t lying. As far as the rest of their conversation? She wasn’t going there. “So why won’t you just finish the job?”

“And people accuse me of being unromantic. Shit.”

“Is it loyalty to Tris? Did what you—what we did last night count as cheating or something? Are you a couple now?” The questions spilled out of her, stopping only when he eased back and tucked her hair behind her ears.

“We’re not a couple. What we do is just about letting off steam.”

“That’s not true. That’s not what I saw.”

For the first time, he looked away. “It is what it is. We’re not committed to each other, Cait.”

“What do you call it?”

“We still sleep with women, still have girlfriends. And when we do, we’re not together. Neither of us are cheaters.”

“And neither of you want to make what you have permanent.”

His silence gnawed at her, making her jerk away from him and to her feet. “Think I’ll go get some work done.”

He nodded. “I think that’s a good idea.”

She’d taken a few steps when he spoke again, his voice soft and raw. “Cait.”

Trepidation iced her spine. “What?”

“What about both of us?”

“What about both of you what?” She knew she sounded impatient, but she’d grown tired of this conversation. A full day of work waited for her, and she didn’t want to think about any of this anymore.

Not right now. She was getting a headache.

Matt rose fluidly, not the least bit ill at ease about his nudity. Why should he be? The guy was sexy as hell.

She swallowed hard when he strolled over and tipped up her chin. “You said you wanted it to be one of us who took your virginity. So what if it were both of us?”

“Uh, you can’t lose your virginity twice.”

“You think?” He licked the inside of his lower lip, and her nipples pushed against her bra. “I think you should let us prove otherwise. Let both of us make love to you. Together.”

Cait opened her mouth to answer. She really did. But no words came.

How could he ask that of her? That kind of thing was fine for others, but not for her. She wasn’t the threesome type.

She was almost sure.

Especially not the first time she had sex.

They were her best friends. She wasn’t a juicy piece of chicken they could split up at dinner. It was flat-out wrong.
