button left holding the bottom of the fabric closed across his belly.
He pushed out a long breath as she opened the door.
Drew stood there with a bouquet of flowers and a hesitant grin shaping his lips.
He glanced over at Parker’s dishabille, narrowed his eyes, and said, “You already started without me?”
Chapter Seven
Sabrina’s mouth was still moist from sucking on Parker’s cock when she opened her front door. Before grasping the handle, she’d sent a silent prayer to the heavens that it wasn’t Ben trying one last time to force a working dinner during her all-important second date with Parker and Drew.
Come Monday morning, Sabrina planned to have a come to Jesus meeting with Ben, held in Kurt’s office. She’d ask to have him pulled from this event if he ever did something like this again. And with Parker there, too. She shuddered to think what might have happened if Drew had already been there as well.
She smiled back at Drew and ushered him inside, putting all thoughts of her job on the back burner of her mind where they belonged. She shut the door, locked it, and started to tell him that they hadn’t really gotten very far, but from behind her, Parker said, “You’re late. Of course we started without you.”
Drew laughed. “I’m not that late.” He glanced at his watch. “It’s barely ten after the hour.”
Parker shrugged. “Late is late.”
“I stopped to get flowers and wine.” He held up the bouquet and the bottle as if his offerings should allow him the excused tardiness. Sabrina loved flowers and wine and was ready to forgive, especially since he’d come well after Ben had shown up unexpectedly.
Parker crossed his arms over his open shirt. “Whatever the excuse, we can’t be expected to deny our instinctive desires while waiting for you to put in an appearance.”
“Wow. You’re so harsh, dude. Relax.” Drew turned away from Parker, zeroed his gaze on her face, bent close, and kissed her hard on the lips. He pulled back momentarily. “But next time I’ll know better.”
She slid closer and put her arms around his neck. “I’m not at all upset. I like flowers and wine, and I’m also okay with fashionably late. Thank you.” Since his hands were full, she took the initiative and pressed her body close to return his initial fervent kiss and thank him. She almost wished they would sandwich her again.
Seconds later, as if he read her mind, Parker pressed up behind her and kissed the back of her neck. Maybe these two understood her desires better than she’d thought.
It didn’t take long for the physical aspect of both Drew and Parker’s desire to arise and poke her front and back. While that was, in fact, her ultimate goal, she also wanted to converse. She needed to talk to them about what she desired. She wanted them to understand and therefore want to join her on a more regular basis.
After several minutes, Drew was the one to break the kiss. “I’m about to drop my gifts.”
Sabrina pulled away as Parker also stepped back. She grabbed the bottle of wine and the flowers from him. “Why don’t the two of you make yourselves comfortable on the sofa, and I’ll bring us some wine. We can chat a bit before…further instinctive desires ensue.”
She turned her back on them, went to her kitchen, and put the flowers in a vase with water. Along with three wineglasses and the open bottle placed carefully on a sturdy wooden tray, she included some sliced cheese, a variety of crackers, and a cluster of red grapes.
Upon her return, she said, “I thought we might discuss a few things before getting down to business, so to speak. Would that be all right?”
They each nodded. Both were seated on her overstuffed sofa. One of them was seated at each end. She sat between them and put the tray in front of her. She poured three glasses of wine, handed them out, and toasted, “To new and exciting beginnings.”
“Here, here,” Parker added as their glasses clinked
