She stared down at him. “Your hands are pure magic.”

He smiled. It was slow and sweet and it was killing her ability to keep her moans of pleasure to herself.

She was also trying to distract him so she didn’t have to answer the question.

She should have known that wouldn’t work with these guys.

Especially Salem.

“Well? Have you been to an island or the beach for a holiday?” he asked.

Okay. That part she could answer truthfully. “I’ve never been for a holiday, no.”

She wasn’t sure she’d ever had a holiday.

“We’ll have to change that, then,” Roman said to her. “I actually have a holiday home in Brighton. It’s no tropical island, but it’s not that far away and it has a private beach.”

“Private?”

“Very private,” Alexei added. “You could make all the sex noises you wanted and no one would ever hear.”

Tamsyn smacked his chest. “You’re terrible.”

“I believe we’ve covered this. The proper response is that I’m terribly good looking or terribly sexy. Remember?”

She shook her head at him. “Sure, I remember. I could pretend I’m on my own show . . . only I don’t have to choose one of you. I’m way luckier than that poor girl.”

“Actually, I believe we’re the lucky ones,” Salem replied.

Damn.

Why did he have to go and be so sweet?

“Perhaps we should practice getting her to make those sexy noises,” Salem suggested.

Wait. What?

“By giving me more foot massages?” she asked.

“Hmm. I was thinking of something else,” Salem replied. “What do you say, Alexei?”

She glanced up at her big Russian. He wasn’t going to agree to this, was he?

Of course he is.

“I think that’s an excellent idea.”

Oh. Heck. She had a feeling she was in trouble now.

Roman watchedas Tamsyn’s face filled with shock and then interest. There might have been a flash of worry at Salem’s suggestion that they get her to make more sexy noises. But nothing that would make him interfere.

Since when did you become her protector? You’ve never been anyone’s protector, not even your own.

No. But for some reason he felt very protective of Tamsyn. Even if she didn’t necessarily need him to be.

She has Alexei and Salem to protect her. To command her. To make her come.

Why does she need you?
