“Are you saying I’m pushy?”

“Yes.”

Mick smiled at him, that little one that barely showed his dimples. Every. Damn. Time. All he had to do was smile at Adam, and Mick could talk him into anything.

“Ultimately, it will be her decision. We can’t force her into a threesome. We aren’t those kinds of guys. So, I thought it was best she knew we were interested in her. Being upfront also allows us to maintain a friendly relationship with her.”

“How so?”

“If we sprung it on her later, she would say that is the only reason we wanted to be friends.”

“But, we do want to be friends outside of that.”

“Exactly. Still, she didn’t freak out. She seemed intrigued.”

“And that’s your plan? Just throw it out there?”

“I said we wouldn’t push, but we can entice.”

He opened his mouth to respond, but there was a knock at the door.

“Hey,” Serenity said through the screen door. She was smiling and dammit, it had the same effect on him that Mick’s smile did. She pulled off her hood to reveal her hair. She’d brushed out her hair and left it in soft curls around her shoulders. He wanted to feel it on his flesh as she kissed her way down to his cock.

Damn.

“Sure, come in.”

She pushed open the screen and took off her shoes, setting them beside both his and Mick’s. Holding up the bottle of wine, she walked over to them.

“One of my favorite cabs.”

He took it from her and looked at it. It was indeed a very good wine.

“Wow, that’s…” Adam said, trailing off when she got close enough for him to smell the rain on her.

“What?” she asked.

“Well, almost too nice for the likes of us.”

She laughed. “No way. I am so happy you’re living here after the last couple.”

He set the wine on the counter and went to grab the wine cork.

“What was wrong with them?”

“They were in the middle of a divorce.”

“That happens,” Mick said.

She shook her head. “For three years. They both refused to move out. It was horrible.”

“But you didn’t move out?”

“I love my house. I refused to give in. I knew someday someone would move in I liked. And they did.”

“How do you know that?” Adam asked.

“Mick is cooking for me and he made me coffee earlier. He is a prince among men. Plus, the only interaction I had with my last neighbors was from their attorneys.”
