Page 9 of Perfect Three

When the song finally finished, she could feel Sebastian kissing her neck and Jack’s hands had wandered close to those tell-tale nipples.They broke apart and Jack stood looking down at her.

“If that was someone who can’t dance, I’d hate to see someone who could.That was totally amazing!Shit, I think I need a cold shower!”

“I don’t think, IknowI need one.”Sebastian shook his head.“Hell, Lucy, you are one sexy woman!”

These two men had actually been excited by her!She couldn’t believe it!The three of them left the dance floor arm-in-arm and made their way back to where their drinks were.Glancing around, she couldn’t see Rob.Hopefully he’d gotten the message.

“If you’re looking for the rock troll, he left halfway through that last, er ...dance.”Sebastian stood very close to her and had whispered in her ear.

The warmth of his breath on her did wonderful, erotic things to her body.

Sebastian passed Lucy her glass and she took a sip.

Jack pointed out one of her co-workers who was waving, trying to get her attention.

“Oh damn, I’d better get back.”Lucy couldn’t monopolize these two men’s time any longer.She turned slightly to face Sebastian.“Thank you so much for everything.”

“You’re most welcome.I hope we can dance again later in the evening.”

Lucy nodded and smiled at him.

“We’ll definitely see you before you go and, if you’ll permit, can we ring you, maybe take you to dinner one night?”

Surprised but delighted, Lucy said, “I’d love to.”

“Great.”

Sebastian kissed her softly on the lips and when he straightened Jack leaned in and did the same.It surprised her.Oh wow, how on earth could you pick between these two?

“Catch you later on, gorgeous.”

Jack winked as she brushed past him to return to her co-workers.When she reached them, she wanted to turn back and look at the two men but wasn’t brave enough.

One of the girls standing near the table gestured to her clutch.“Your phone’s been ringing on and off a lot.Don’t know if it’s important but wanted you to know.”

“Thanks, Barb.I’ll check it.”

“So, who are the two hunks?I’ve seen them here often.I think they are here at least once a month.”

“Um ...just new friends.”

“Oh yeah, it really looked like it out there on the dance floor.”

Lucy blushed and quickly picked up her purse, pulling out her cell phone.There were about six missed calls from her daughter, Allison, so Lucy checked in case she’d left a message—she had.

Allison:Mum, r u @ home?Baby’s sick.

Lucy quickly redialed her daughter’s number, but it was so noisy in the room now.She pushed her way through to the hallway leading to the bathrooms where it was quieter.

“Allison?It’s mum.”

“Oh, Mum, thank goodness.Geoff’s on duty tonight and Davie’s running a temp.I’m worried.I haven’t got any kid’s paracetamol, and I don’t want to take him outside.I’d have to wake the twins as well.When I didn’t get an answer at your house, I figured you were out and wondered if you were near here.”

“I’m about twenty minutes away, sweetheart.I’ll call into an all-night chemist and pick up something.Is he okay or should you take him to the hospital?”

“I think it’s just his teeth, but he has a rotten cold as well.”

“Okay, I’ll see you in about half an hour.”
