Page 36 of A Promise For Tomorrow

I want this right? I want to see what this is between us. We’ve always had an amazing sex life. God. When was the last time I actually had sex?

It couldn’t have been my wedding night…

His fingers pump in and out of me as I feel the outline of his cock pressed against his boxer briefs.

He lowers me to the floor, removing his fingers and grabbing the roll of condoms. “As much as I’d like to fuck you raw, it’s probably best we use protection.”

“Yeah. No, totally,” I say breathlessly.

He stares at me and then the condoms. The frantic moment of lust dissipates. Now it just feels interrupted and forced.

I slide my underwear back over my hips and tug my dress down. He doesn’t object, placing the condoms back into his pocket and tucking himself into his pants before rebuttoning andbuckling them. He runs a hand through his hair and blows out a breath, careful not to make eye-contact with me. I do the same, walking over to his private bathroom and fixing my hair. Thank you, Jesus for a twenty four hour lip stain. It didn’t go anywhere.

When I come back out, he has the door opened and a hand in his pocket.

“Let’s continue this later? Somewhere a little more…practical?” he laughs, breaking the period of silence we just had.

“Yeah. Let’s see where the night brings us,” I nod, suddenly feeling shy around him.

It’s not that I didn’t want to have sex with him. I did. I was more than turned on. But that pause to wear a condom had me reevaluating. It gave us a minute to look beyond the haze of lust and realize we may have been falling back into old habits.

Because it was how things used to be.

Not because we thought this moment was right.

Having attachments to others doesn’t help the cause either. Where Lainey was a thought in his mind, Diego was a thought in mine.

Makes for one awkward moment.

“Holy… he did what?!”Lex whisper-shouts as we chat alone in the bathroom. Liam and Con are back in the VIP lounge. The two of us are a few martinis deep.

“He took out a roll of condoms, Lex.”

“I mean smart, yes. Can’t blame the guy for wanting to be safe for everyone involved. But what a way to make it awkward. He knew what he was getting going into his office.”

“Yeah…God.How do people date multiple partners at once? I can barely keep my emotions in check around the two of them.”

“Back to Diego…you gonna lose your back door virginity to him?” She waggles her eyebrows suggestively.

“I’m going to need a lot more time for that… Diego is huge!” I emphasize with my hands.

Lexi giggles and grips my arm as she leans over. “Girl, you need to get laid. It’s been too long. I have an idea, why don’t you just fuck the both of them at the same time?”

“Lexi. Be serious,” I admonish.

“I am. You have two men willing to let you fuck the other. Take full advantage, girl. You know once you choose, they are gonna go all cave-man protective and that window for threesomes will bepoof. Gone. Probably forever.”

I shake my head, partially turned on by the idea. Just think about what a disaster that would be. Fucking the two most alpha possessive men I have ever met.

I can’t see them sharing nicely.

As we leave the bathroom and head back towards the suite, gunshots go off. Ice runs through my veins as I shove Lexi behind me and search for Liam or Con.

Shit. The suites are sound proof.

They probably can’t hear the commotion. It sounds fucking close, too. Jostling Lexi through the crowd, I hurry her and I into the nearest room. It’s one I haven’t been in before. The lights are off but there is a dim red night light on either side of this massive bed.

Lexi is violently shaking next to me. I search for a lock on the door but there isn’t one.
