Iko lets out a light, breathless laugh and rolls me toward him. As I find myself straddling him, he grins up at me. “What do you think, Signy? Ready for another round?”

A flush spreads over my skin with a renewed throb of longing.

How is this my life? How have I ended up with two men who want me like this?

I can’t see any point in denying that I want him too.

I set my hand against the erection straining against his trousers, getting a deeper thrill out of the ecstatic expression that crosses his face. “I think you’ve got too many clothes on.”

With another laugh, he wrenches at his trousers. “A problem we can easily solve.”

As Iko kicks off his pants, Jostein sits up next to us. He teases his fingers down my spine and along my inner thigh, apparently as intent on adding to my enjoyment as his friend was during our coupling.

Iko eases me down onto him slowly, inch by inch, dragging out the pleasure of the penetration. An impatient noise works from my throat, and he chuckles.

Propping himself up on one elbow, he grasps my hair and tugs me to him for our first real kiss tonight. As our mouths meld together, he rolls his hips and consumes my gasp of pleasure.

With a smile now purely wicked, Iko traces the curve of my ass. “You know, there are ways a woman can have two men at once, if you ever think you could handle it. More efficient—and I believe even more satisfying—that way.”

I shiver at the thought, licking my lips.

Watching my reaction, Jostein squeezes my ass in turn and then skims my back opening. The nerves there light up with a flare of sensation like nothing I’ve ever felt.

“A pity we didn’t think of that earlier,” he says in a low voice that melts me. “It’ll have to wait for the next time.”

My noise of agreement comes out like a mewling more than anything else. Iko groans and bucks up to meet me.

I sway between the thrust of his cock and the provocative pressure of Jostein’s fingers. I’d have expected to find myself too spent to reach my peak again at all quickly, but the pleasure swells inside me so rapidly I’m dizzy with it.

I run my fingers over Iko’s chest, loosening the ties on his shirt and delving to the taut skin beneath. Match him kiss for wild kiss. Hiss a breath through my teeth when Jostein works a finger right inside me from the opposite end, aided by the slickness of my own arousal.

“We’re going to give you everything you’ve needed,” Iko promises in an increasingly ragged voice. “Everything you deserve.”

He clutches my thigh as he picks up his pace, slamming me down to meet him and flicking his thumb across my clit. My fingernails dig into his sides, and he groans. “Fuck, you’re too delicious. Come with me, Spitfire. Come with me all the way.”

He swirls his thumb around my clit again with an even more forceful thrust. Jostein echoes the motion from behind.

With a whimper, I soar up and over my peak.

My eyes roll up, my vision briefly whiting out. Iko’s breath stutters, his hips jerking, and then he’s pulling me down over him, nestling my head against the crook of his shoulder.

Jostein withdraws his hand with one final caress of my back. He leans over to kiss my cheek.

I feel as much as see Iko gaze up at his friend through the dimness. “She isourwoman. We can give her that much more if we’re in this together.”

He says it as a statement, but his muscles tense beneath me with a momentary uneasiness.

Jostein answers with a soft smile. “Our woman, for as long as she wants the both of us.”

I barely restrain a snort at the idea thatmyinterest would be the deciding factor.

As if he senses my skepticism, Iko cups my face. His voice comes out more tender than usual. “You’re the onlywoman I can see myself ever wanting again, Signy. No one else has ever come close to matching you.”

I don’t know how to answer that statement of devotion except with a lingering kiss. He kisses me back just as ardently.

As I start to peel myself off Iko, a familiar voice carries through the tent wall.

“Signy?”
