Double Shot by Christine D'Abo

something in his sleep and reached out to pull Sadie closer. Her heart raced and her hands began to shake, but she had to know. “What was that?”
    “They weren’t you.”
    Sadie turned to Josh. “But I don’t understand. He’s never once shown any interest in me that way. Not before tonight. We’ve always been friends.”
    “Are you sure about that?”
    No. “Yes.”
    “How could you even think that? You’re gorgeous.” Josh held her face and leaned in. “And if he didn’t care, it wouldn’t matter if I did this.”
    The kiss was soft and possessive. Josh slipped an arm beneath her head and pulled her away from Paul’s embrace. The stirrings of arousal had Sadie moaning softly in the back of her throat. Josh slipped his hand down to cup her breast, squeezing the nipple between his fingers.
    “I could fuck you right here and show you how good I could make things for you.” Josh’s whisper was too loud, causing Paul to roll. “I could make you forget all about him and come begging me to take you over and over.”
    Sadie gasped when the hand holding her breast moved to cup her pussy, Josh sliding a finger deep inside. “What are you doing?”
    “I’m going to fuck you like no one else ever could.”
    “You two are the loudest whisperers in the world.” Paul moaned as he rolled onto his back, stopping when his gaze landed on them. “What are you doing?”
    “Isn’t it obvious?” Josh sucked Sadie’s nipple into his mouth. Without thinking, her hand shot to his head to hold him in place.
    “I don’t think I can manage again for a bit,” Paul said, sitting up.
    “Who said you were invited?” Sadie was only teasing, but it was clearly the wrong thing to say.
    “What?” The relaxed pose of Paul’s long body was gone. “Who said I wasn’t invited?”
    Before she could answer, Josh pushed his way between her legs. “Sadie says, man. Not my rules.”
    It was weird how one moment, everything was perfect and fairytale-like, and the next, Sadie’s world imploded.
    Paul rolled off the bed, snapping his shirt off the ground. “Fine.”
    “Where are you going, Paul? I was only kidding.” Sadie tried to push Josh off her. “Move.”
    “No.” He kissed her temple.
    “I’m glad you had a great time, Sadie. I’ll get out of your way so you can have what you’ve been clearly eyeing all night.”
    “Paul!”
    He didn’t even bother putting on his boots before he stormed out of the room.
    Once the door had closed behind him, Sadie sat up slowly, pulling the sheet with her. “What the hell was that about? Shit, he’ll never talk to me again.”
    “Give him time to cool down and he’ll see reason.”
    “No, I need to go catch him.” Sadie threw the sheet aside and scrambled to find her clothing. Holding up the corset she knew there was no easy way to get back into it. Certainly not a fast way. “Some fucking friend you are.”
    “Sadie, please sit.”
    “No. This is your fault. Why would you make him think I wouldn’t want him?” She swallowed down the sudden rush of tears threatening to choke her. “I finally got him to notice me.”
    “Please.” Josh patted the bed. “He’s gone by now anyway.”
    Dropping to the floor, she didn’t even bother to wipe the tears away. “Dammit.”
    Josh got up and joined her on the floor. “I know that was extreme, but I need you to know.”
    “Know what?” She turned and glared at him. “I’ve never seen him that upset. Not at me, at least.”
    “And what possible reason would a man like Paul have for overreacting to a situation like that? We weren’t doing much of anything yet, were we? A few teasing remarks and a little cuddling.”
    “No.” She sniffed and wiped her cheek.
    “It’s been my experience that a man only reacts like that when he’s jealous.”
    “But he’s the one who asked what I wanted. I never would have said anything if he hadn’t pushed.”
    “I know that. And Paul will too when he has a chance to cool
