That fact made her insides twist and tie into knots.

Passion rushed her, her heart unable to keep up.

“Caden, our overly dressed executive assistant has a wild side beneath all her formal exterior.”

Reece gently flicked the dangling jewel from her navel. It had been a whim for her last birthday a few months ago and one she was glad she followed through with, if for nothing more than to see the fire it provoked in Reece. Caden turned her and dropped to one knee. To see him that way flooded her mind with other thoughts she had no business thinking, but still, she appreciated the view.

“Exquisite.” A sensual need tinged his tone. The way he fused his words with so much emotion pushed all the right buttons for her.

Caden bowed his head, wrapping his strong hands around her hips and pulled her closer to him. His lips traced the outer rim of her navel before landing on the center where the jewel pierced her skin.

He nibbled lower, gently scraping his teeth along her flesh then retracing with feather-light kisses. She buried her fingers into his hair and squeezed her thighs to keep from moaning.

She was growing wetter by the minute.

If they didn’t make their move, she might combust in their arms right here. Or worse. Melt into a puddle of need on the floor of their jet and beg them to fuck her senseless.

“Anxious, darling?” Reece bestowed his own brand of kisses along her neck and shoulder. She closed her eyes, absorbing the multitude of emotions both men infused in their gentle caresses and kisses.

Anxious? What an understatement.

With one last kiss, Caden raised his head, hooking his thumbs in the lacy band of her panties, slowly lowering the soaked material down her legs, past her knees, stopping at her feet. “Step out of them, sweetheart.”

He added the garment to her growing pile, but they were still fully clothed. He stepped back, devouring every inch of her skin, finally settling on the apex of her thighs. “Reece, we need to see all of her, don’t you think?”

Reece stroked the length of her bare arms, her shoulders, working his way to the clasp of her bra. With a single flick, he removed the restrictive barrier over her breasts. Cool air rushed her heated skin, making her nipples harden further.

Reece embraced her against his chest, the soft cotton of his T-shirt cushioning her. She frowned.

“You’ll get your turn,” Caden reassured her kissing everywhere but there.

Reece administered lazy circles around her candy hard nipples.

Her eyes shot open in the next second when he tugged.

A bolt of heat suffused her body.

Electricity pulsed with every pull he gave. Her slick, wet pussy quivered with pent-up desire. A desire she’d nursed for both men since the day she met them now showed on her inner thighs for both men to see.

“Caden, please…I…just hurry.” Her raspy words were torn from her throat.

“We know, sweetheart.”

“Reece, Dios, please don’t stop. I’m so close.”

So close to finally getting what she wanted. Reece and Caden as her lovers. The mere power of the thought caused another wave of anticipation to skate along her nerve endings.

The first time she’d sat across from them and looked into their eyes, she’d immediately known they were good men. Their presence commanded respect, but they also gave it.

When she needed help moving into her new house, they had been there. Both men were reluctant about her living so far outside the city limits, but they supported her nonetheless. On her first night, Reece and Caden had stopped by with a bottle of her favorite tequila and Chinese food so she could properly toast her new home. She had a sneaky suspicion about their motives and the warm hugs and soft kisses they’d bestowed her before departing fueled her fantasies for weeks of something more.

And today. Blood rushed in her ears. There was no mistaking the gravity of her situation, but that didn’t deter them. No. Instead, it brought them closer.

Reece stroked her cheek with his thumb.

They were also gentle and kind. They had proven that repeatedly over the last six months. How could she not be completely smitten with them?

“We’re not going to take you all the way tonight, baby. Not here. The gift of your virginity is too precious, no matter what the douche of an ex of yours told you. Forget him. Do you hear me?”
