Noah

She walks out here looking sexy as fuck, silencing both Levi and I at the same time. A tiny pair of lace panties hangs from the bottom of the pile of clothes in her arms and I recognize them as the pair I pulled off of her just last night. She catches me staring and only allows herself to look at me for a second. It’s obvious that she’s doing her best to avoid both of us tonight, which won’t help us see who she’s better connected to.

“How do you want your steak?” Levi manages to pull her attention for about the same length of time that I did.

“Medium rare.” Her messy hair fucks with my mind as I start to think what it would be like if I took a large handful of it and pulled her back against me while I fuck her from behind. I close my eyes and drink the last of my beer, even though it’s not my drink of choice.

We plan to keep our wits about us tonight, but still manage to get her to relax. The way she’s acting stiff, I’m afraid it’s going to be more difficult than we anticipated.

Levi steps outside to put the steaks on and I take the opportunity to get a point across to Kali. Stepping up behind her as she drops the last few items in the washer, I surprise her with the pressure of my body against hers. She’s up against the washer, allowing me to grind my hips into her ass. Her breathing halts with a sharp inhale as she glares at me from over her shoulder.

“Noah, I can’t. You can’t.”

“I don’t do well with orders.” I grip that mess in her hair and pull her back against me just like I imagined. It’s so much better than I had in my head. Her scent consumes me and I’m instantly wishing Levi wasn’t about to come through that back door again.

I grip her hip with the other hand, forcing her against me completely. “Fuck, you make me crazy. If you think you can just walk away from this, then you’re obviously stronger than I am.” I release the grip on her hair to slide my hand over her neck. She extends as if she’s inviting me to squeeze tight, so I do while I kiss the shoulder that she’s made so available to me.

“This tiny fucking tank top isn’t going to help your little crusade.” I look down the front of her top, the shape of her tits teasing me perfectly. My dick is hard by now and I want nothing more than to carry her over my shoulder straight into her bedroom, fuck her senseless and make her stop running from me.

“Noah, you have to stop.” Her whisper brushes across my face as she exhales through her own fight. She’s attempting to prove restraint, when I want no part of that shit.

The sound of the back door has her pushing me away. I smile as she works to compose herself and pretends I didn’t just fuck with her mind. I should feel guilty for what I just did, but I don’t. If either of them think that I’m about to just stand back and let the woman I love go again, they’re both out of their fucking minds.

Levi looks at me suspiciously. His squinting glare tells me I’m about to meet my match in this little game he suggested we play. It’s a good thing I’m not afraid to pull at her darkest desires. Something tells me what we have is a little more scandalous than anything they’ve ever had together. Her voyeurism that first night is my proof of that.

Levi

It appears I’m going to have to play dirty, even though we both said we wouldn’t. Noah obviously did something while I was outside, because I’ve become very familiar with that flustered look on Kali’s face. She was turned on when I walked in. Who knows what he said or did to make her switch her mood so quickly.

I’m going to need some tequila if I’m going to be able to go head to head with that fucker tonight. Deep down, I just want to kick his ass and end all of this, but I know that isn’t going to keep Kali from pushing us both away. She doesn’t want the stress and that would put her over the edge. I know her well enough to make that assumption.

“Noah, why don’t you take these out to the grill and season the steak while you’re at it.” I hand him the foil wrapped vegetables and the seasoning. The smirk on his face is challenging, but I ignore him. Luckily he takes the tray from me and goes out the door.

“You doing all right?” I choose to show her respect and compassion. Something I’m sure he knows nothing about.

“Not really.” Stepping in her path, I stop her from leaving the room. Her eyes bolt to mine and we both stay frozen in place until I slide my hands down her arms.

“You have nothing to be stressed about. Just relax and have some fun with us tonight. Just be you.” She wraps her arms around my waist and I inhale the fresh scent of her hair just under my chin as I pull her in for a hug. My arms are still around her when Noah barges through the door.

She doesn’t move too quickly from my arms and I’m almost positive Noah growled under his breath as he rinsed the tray.

“I’m thinking we should play some poker tonight. Who’s in?” She steps back and shrugs before she responds to Noah.

“I’ve never played. You guys will have to teach me.”

“It’s easy, but if you lose you have to take something off.” She laughs as Noah attempts to draw her in with strip poker.

“I don’t think so. You two can play and I’ll watch.”

“I bet we can convince you to join us.” His smile causes her to look down. He’s coming on strong and I can’t tell if his game is going to work on her or push her further away. I sit next to her and run my hand down her back. She squirms as my touch slides over her ass. A quick smile and a glance from her tells me she didn’t hate that I just did that.

“So your plan is to feed me and get me drunk, then what?” She looks to Noah before turning to me again.

“We’re just here to enjoy some time with you. And to make you see that we’re okay with whatever decision you make. We aren’t here to pressure you into anything.”

“Yes. We aren’t here to make you choose, but if you’re having a hard time letting go of someone you say you’ve loved most of your life, we understand.” I look up at Noah and watch him give her his panty dropping smirk that I’ve seen him use time after time.

“You two are fucking making me crazy. I can’t deal with this crap tonight. Can you both just go?” She shocks me as she stands up and yells at the both of us.
