She did the same.

If he wasn’t careful he’d rip off her jeans and slide her tight pussy down his pulsating cock right now as Caden worked her clit and sucked on those beautiful pink nipples he could see jutting out from under her thin shirt. Anyone who wanted to watch could.

But he’d never do that to their sweet Abigail.

Beneath his touch, her chest did a staccato jolt and she tightened her grip on his hand. It took all his hard-earned self-control to resist her allure, but he managed.

“But I can’t leave, Mr. Sterling. I don’t even have my passports. I have a job and what would everyone say when they find out I not only went home with you tonight but I’m now running off to Mexico?” She pulled the conversation back to a safer zone.

His friend wasn’t having it.

Caden leaned in close to Abagail, who went utterly still and studied him quietly. If Reece had to pinpoint the reason as to why it would because she was torn between wanting to kiss Caden, the audience be damned, or wait. He could almost see her mind turn over the options.

Caden took control and caressed her baby-fine cheek with the back of his fingers and Reece saw the second her softness registered on his friend’s face. He’d felt it too and had the same fucking reaction.

Their sweet secretary was a soft, gentle soul and neither war-hardened Marine deserved such a delicate creature.

“Sweetheart, I think you can drop the formality.” Caden wound his fingers through hers and spread his legs out so his thigh touched the length of Abigail’s. “Watching you kiss my best friend was the hottest fucking thing I’ve seen.”

Reece looked on as Caden guided her hand over the ridge of his dick. “But watching you fuck my friend and then take us both might be the end of me. Tell, do you want us like that?”

She whimpered a sexy little sound, her mouth rounded in surprise. Her head cocked to the side and she flicked her gaze to the front where Dane sat in silence in the driver’s seat.

“What exactly are you both asking for? A quick fling? A fun time south of the border? What?” Light from the streetlights highlighted the uncertainty that shimmered in her eyes as they barreled down the highway.

Caden answered knowing Reece would have a hard time answering the latter part of her question.

“For time. Hear us out when the time comes, sweetheart. That’s all we ask.”

“Umm, yeah, Yes.”

Reece hadn’t realized he was holding his breath until he heard her single, breathy answer.

“We’ll figure this out together. You won’t be alone. As for everyone else, I dare anyone to say anything to you.”

Slowly Abagail lifted her head to look at him with her expressive eyes. Her breath hitched as if she’d been holding her breath too, but her hand didn’t move from Caden’s lap.

Reece took her other hand and placed it on his lap. The smile she rewarded him with calmed the stress and tension that had taken over when he’d seen how close the rounds had come to hitting her and refused to lessen even after kissing her.

In the span of a few seconds ten years had leeched from his life tonight.

What was it about this woman? He and Caden had spent the last five months tied in arguments over what they should do about the growing attraction between them. He’d argued they were too rough for someone so sweet but he couldn’t back down or walk away either. Keeping their distance was no longer an option. What they had burned hotter the more time they were together. Hellfire would be easier to contain than the burning desire eating at his soul to have her delicious tiny body wrapped around him.

“Okay Romeos, we’re ten minutes out from the hangar. There’s no tail on us. We should be good.” Dane called over his shoulder, his obvious smirk highlighted in the yellow-tinged street lamps that lined the highway leading to the private hangar.

Reece drew Abigail closer to his side and Caden leaned in and whispered for only them to hear.

“Sweetheart, you stir the fire and light the world with those beautiful amber eyes and the trust you’ve given us. Reece and I both promise to never break that. Give us just a little longer and we’ll prove it to you.”

Abigail sucked in a calming breath. If Caden kept looking at her with that heated promise in his eyes there was no telling what she would do next. Challenge them on all those dirty promises? That sounded fun and a whole lot better to think about than their current situation.

She turned to Reece to see how Caden’s words settled with him. The same lust that filled Caden’s eyes shined back at her through Reece’s. The man was a perplexity rolled up in the sexiest man she dreamed of taking her.

Caden gave her leg a small squeeze right above her knee and leaned into her. Subtle undercurrents shot up her leg and landed straight between her legs. Her tigress stretched and purred, ready to pounce. “We’ll continue this later. Ready to hit the pavement?”

The SUV rolled to stop on the tarmac and Caden rushed her on board the Re-con’s private jet while Reece stayed behind to give final instructions to their team.
