Page 46 of Perfect Three

When she entered, she turned and looked at the both of them standing in the doorway.

“This is where you dictate things, Lucy.It’s all up to you.We can come inside, sit, and relax.Learn more about each other.We can leave now, make arrangements to see you another day.This is whatever you want.”

“Me?”she squeaked.“Um ...come in.”

Lucy stood aside so they could pass.

Both men gave her a little peck on the cheek as they entered.She closed the door behind them, put her back against it, and took a huge breath.She then placed her bag on the hall table.Sliding her shoes off, she turned to them.

“Don’t look so worried, Lucy, nothing will happen that you don’t want.”Sebastian was almost laughing at her as he held out his hand.“Come on, come and sit down somewhere.Lead the way.”

Lucy took his hand and led them back into the parlor.She always felt relaxed in there with the two huge over-stuffed sofas and the fireplace.It looked welcoming and friendly.

Jack sat on one and Sebastian settled alongside him, pulling Lucy down onto his knee.Once again Jack picked up her legs and put them across his knee.

Her senses heightened—the touch of Jack’s hands on her legs, Sebastian’s arm around her, and the heady, musky aroma of male arousal, mixed with their aftershave, floating in the air.She could hear them breathing, hear her own heartbeat and knew it was back to beating faster than usual.

Sebastian’s thumb made tiny circles on the top of her arm, while Jack’s hands were going down to her toes then running up her leg to her mid-thigh.

Lucy wanted them both to stop.She wanted them both to do more.

Damn, I have no idea what I want!

“Relax, Lucy,” Sebastian whispered in her ear.His breath on her neck made the hairs stand up.Unconsciously, she arched her neck, and he kissed it.A line of goose bumps marched their way down to her wrist.

“Oh.”She stuttered and to her own ears her voice sounded so soft and tiny.She wanted time to slow down, to speed up.The touches from each man were like fire, her skin over-sensitive.Biting her bottom lip, she understood she needed to learn how to relax around these two.I need a diversion.Maybe a drink would help.“Um ...would you like a coffee?”

“Yeah, that would be nice, thanks.”

Lucy managed to get off Sebastian’s knee and get into the kitchen without falling over.Standing still for a minute, eyes closed, she fanned her face with her hand, blowing air out hard.If just the simple touches these men were giving her was enough to get her this aroused, she wondered how on earth she’d feel when they were intent on making love to her.

She stirred and switched on the kettle, then grabbed some mugs and put grounds into the large coffee plunger.

Jack wandered in.“Let me help, Lucy.”

“Oh.Er ...I’m making coffee.”What a fool!She rolled her eyes and shook her head.

Jack just laughed.He touched her hand.“Take it easy, beautiful.Just let things go wherever they may.I know this is rather overwhelming.Seb is ...well, he is so sensual he turns me on all the time.”

Lucy understood at that moment Jack knew exactly how she felt, and she was grateful.Although, to her, he was just as sensual.Both turned her on.

Jack helped Lucy make the coffee.

Thank goodness.I’d probably serve them water and sugar and nothing else.Jack kindly carried in his and Sebastian’s mugs, leaving Lucy to manage her own, which she miraculously did without spilling any.

Sebastian patted the lounge alongside him.“So tell us, apart from reading, what do you like to do?”

Jack sat on the floor, his head leaning against the seat.Lucy sat and took a tentative sip from her mug.Sebastian somehow managed to get even closer to her while Jack had his head between her leg and Sebastian’s.

Lucy found it difficult to concentrate with Sebastian’s voice so close to her ear as well as feeling, and seeing, Jack’s head.She very carefully resisted the temptation to run her fingers through his hair.Trying to ignore all these new but very exciting sensations, Lucy gave her head a tiny shake and cleared her throat.“Um...I used to enjoy bush-walking but haven’t done any for years.I’m afraid I’m out of condition.”

Jack looked up at her.“We like that too!That’s the great thing about living here.There’s so many tracks and trails.”

Lucy nodded in agreement as Sebastian spoke again.“Jack and I try to spend at least half a day walking once a month.I love it.”

Jack tapped her knee.“You’ll have to join us.Seb loves taking photos when we go, too.”

“Photos?Do you enjoy photography, Sebastian?”
