Hotter Than Ever (Out of Uniform 9)

As the three of them headed inside, Seth picked up the previous subject. “Anyway, Carson and Holly totally got it on Christmas Eve.” He scowled. “And you want to know the worst part, other than having to picture my LT going to town on his wife? Having to explain to the rugrats why they heard, and I quote, ‘farm noises’ coming out of the bathroom.”

Aidan and Matt burst out laughing.

In the living room, Cash shoved a DVD into the player while everyone got settled on the two couches with their beers. But before McCoy could press play, Seth turned those shrewd gray eyes on Aidan and said, “So the relationship ménage is still going strong?”

Aidan met Seth’s gaze head on. “Sure is.”

“I still don’t get it.”

He shrugged. “You don’t have to get it. Not your life, remember?”

“He’s just jealous because his life isn’t as interesting,” Cash spoke up with a grin. “He’s got two kids to raise. You get to have kinky three-way sex every night. No contest.”

“Miranda and I have kinky sex,” Seth protested.

“Uh-huh,” Aidan said indulgently. “So how does that work with the twins constantly running underfoot? Do you get to f**k her on the kitchen counter every morning?”

“After the kids go to school,” Seth answered smugly.

“Does she suck your dick in the shower?”

“When the rugrats go to bed.”

“Hmmm.” Aidan offered a cheeky smile. “Does she moan like crazy when you’re f**king her pu**y and another c**k is buried in her ass?”

Matt choked out a laugh. Cash looked envious.

And Seth just sighed. “Fine, I guess my sex life isn’t as kinky as it used to be. Hey, where’s the D-Man, by the way? He’d be all over Die Hard.”

“When I left him, he was involved in a serious COD battle with Jackson,” Aidan said. “Claire and I couldn’t take it anymore so I dropped her off at Savannah’s for girls’ night.” He turned to Matt with a warning look. “And I swear to God, if Savannah threatens my girl again, I will kick her ass.”

Matt raised a brow. “You’ll have to go through me first.”

“Is that supposed to scare me? I could kick your ass any day of the week.”

Seth clapped his hands together. “Shit, now that I’d love to see.” He glanced at Cash. “A death match between O’Connor and Rhodes?”

“I’d f**king pay to see that,” Cash retorted. “My money’s on Matt.”

“Forget that—I’m all about Aidan. Didn’t you snag an invite to that heavy-duty boxing camp during your navy training?”

Aidan found himself under Seth’s scrutiny again. “Sure did,” he confirmed.

Matt rolled his eyes. “I’m a SEAL—there’s no way in hell Rhodes is kicking my ass.”

Seth and Cash exchanged a look, which led to Aidan and Matt exchanging a look of their own.

“Don’t even think about it,” Matt warned.

But the two men were already hopping off their respective couches and beginning to drag the coffee table out of the way.

“This is so happening,” Cash announced. “I’ve got a hundred bucks on Matt.”

Seth grinned. “Get ready to lose some money then.”

Despite himself, Aidan had to laugh. “What happened to Die Hard?”

“Fuck that. Live action is so much more rewarding.” Cash crossed his arms over his broad chest. “So are you two gonna pu**y out, or do we have ourselves a fight?”

Aidan glanced at Matt again, who simply shrugged and said, “It has been a while since we sparred…”

With another laugh, Aidan got to his feet and stripped out of his V-neck tee. “All righty. Let’s do this shit.”

“Wow. When you commit to something, you really commit,” Annabelle Holmes remarked, amusement dancing in her brown eyes.

Claire laughed. “I know, right?” She waved a hand when the brunette made a move to refill Claire’s wine glass. “No more for me. I’m already tipsy as hell.”

Jane Becker wagged her finger in disapproval. “Tipsy is not an unacceptable state to leave girls’ night in. Our goal is to get rip-roaring drunk and then go home to have our way with our men.”

From their various positions around Savannah’s living room, all the other women were nodding and grinning. Claire had to laugh again. She was suddenly so glad she’d taken Jen up on her offer to come here tonight. She hadn’t been thrilled the gathering was taking place at Savannah’s, but the blonde had been on her best behavior since Claire’s arrival, and all the other women were so damn friendly.

For the past two hours, she’d chatted easily with everyone. Holly, Jen, Miranda and Savannah, she already knew. But this was her first time meeting Annabelle, who was engaged to Ryan Evans, and Jane, who was married to the team’s Lieutenant Commander. She liked both women immensely, especially Jane, who was as a blunt as Savannah but far more humorous about it.

“So is it a three-way every night then?” Annabelle pressed, looking more than a little curious about Claire’s current living arrangement.

She felt her cheeks heat up. “Pretty much. But sometimes it’s one-on-one if one of the guys goes out.”

Or if she wasn’t around, but Claire kept that tidbit to herself because she knew Dylan and Aidan didn’t want to announce to everyone that they were sexually involved. Dylan had told her Jen was in the loop, though, and from the secretive smile the blue-eyed blonde shot her, Claire knew Jen was thinking the same thing she was.
