from certain obligations.
They
turned to face her as she entered. She was wearing one of the dresses Ryan had
bought her days before. It was flirty and hung on tiny straps, the hem barely
skimming past her curvy thighs. She giggled as they ran their eyes over her
with unconcealed masculine admiration. It felt as though they were undressing
her with those hungry eyes, but Julie couldn’t be sidetracked. They’d made love
in every room and possibly every position known to man and still they couldn’t
seem to get enough of her. The craziest thing was, Julie felt an equal rise of
excitement coating her inner thighs and knew that she’d never get enough of
them either.
She
marveled at the way her once low sex drive now matched those of her two skilled
lovers. She’d become absolutely insatiable and even her body had become
accustomed to the many physical demands of pleasing two highly sexed, powerful
men who couldn’t get enough.
Still,
she kept her attention on the matter at hand. “You guys told that this hideaway
is safe, remember. Which means I’ll be perfectly fine being left on my own
while you go do whatever it is that you need to take care of.”
“It’ll
only be for a few hours,” Caine agreed, advancing to her side and taking her
hand to lift it to his lips for a soft kiss. “But Ryan and I have never left
you here alone. Either of us has always been home to make sure you…”
“I’m
not a child, okay? I don’t need babysitting,” she teased, with a smile. No one
had ever come around the place since they’d arrived nearly two weeks ago. She
finally felt safe, and she was certain that nothing would happen to her if left
alone in their secret hideaway. She just wanted life to get back to normal and
that meant, being able to handle herself without her men hovering around like
bodyguards twenty-four hours of the day.
“Julie,
we bought this place knowing that one day we’d need a location we could make a
home with our chosen mate – I mean wife,” Ryan explained, also coming
forward and then cupping her face in his strong hands, his masculine fingers
skimming her heated skin. “Here, we’ll be safe from prying eyes and people that
just don’t understand our lifestyle. But we never want you to get the
impression that you’re being locked away, or imprisoned. For one thing you have
a career and we respect that. When the time comes, we intend to do what’s not
just best for us, but you as well.” He kissed her lips softly. “We just need
time to get some things straightened out, okay? And this meeting will help with
that.”
Julie
nodded, looking from Ryan to Caine with trusting eyes. “I know there’s still so
much you aren’t telling me,” she said softly, eyes downcast. “But you can’t protect
me from the truth forever. Over the past several days I’ve overheard you both
whispering. I know you’re both hiding something important from me and I’m
confused. I thought you didn’t want anything or anyone to come between us.”
Julie
glanced up to see them share a quick look. Her heart ached and she wondered why
they felt that she couldn’t handle the truth – whatever the truth was.
“You
have nothing to fear with us, Julie,” Ryan replied, looking straight into her
eyes. “Yes, there’s more you need to know about us but we promise, in good
time. Just know that we would never, ever hurt you.”
Julie
drew in a deep, shaky breath, and nodded. Somehow, she believed them. She had
to. Who else could she turn to? She was tired of running, fed up with being
alone. Just this small taste of being cherished by not one, but two devoted
lovers wasn’t something she wanted to give up. Whatever the cost, Julie vowed she
would see it through, that she would give her heart to the most beautiful men
she’d ever known. No matter the risks.
