Page 70 of Needing More
"Don’t I get a kiss, too?" he asked once she was done.
Wanting nothing more than to feel close to him again and erase the niggling doubts in the back of her mind Sapphire cupped his smooth jaw and brought his lips to hers.
The kiss felt like a relief and a surge of energy all at once. A noise of contentment escaped her throat as Vic wrapped his arms around her and lifted her to him as he stood up straight. His mouth moved with hers as they tasted one another. Each swipe of his tongue ignited her want and her body began to hum for more. She wanted him to touch her, needed all of them to touch her.
A throat cleared behind her and they froze.
Not releasing his arms around her, Vic pulled back and looked over her head with a bored expression.
Sapphire wiggled in his grip until he had no choice but to let her go and she turned to see Hayden. Fear pumped through her heart as she waited like a frozen deer.
His steel grey eyes eventually pulled away from Vic and lowered to look at her, softening as they did. "Don’t worry about telling Finn and Julie. Joel's doing that now."
Sapphire nodded stiffly.
"Now come here and let the cook work," he said, crooking his finger at her.
Without hesitation, her feet began to move toward him. Behind her, she heard another crack of an egg.
"I should at least get the title of chef," Vic grumbled glumly behind her.
Just as she was in reach Hayden shot out an arm and pulled her the rest of the way to him. "Come on, let's lay on the couch while thechefworks," he corrected with a smirk.
Sapphire looked back to Vic and laughed at his satisfied expression at the improved title. Maybe things were working out, she thought hopefully.
Falling onto the couch with Hayden, they both looked up as the door opened and Joel walked in.
"Okay, everything is done," he announced as he dropped heavily onto the couch next to her.
Sapphire made a face at the wet feel of his shirt pressed against her. "You're all wet!"
Sitting back Joel looked down at his chest and back to her and she knew the moment she saw the flash of those dimples what he was going to do. Grabbing the hem of his shirt he yanked the material up and over his head, ruffling his blond bedhead as he tossed it somewhere on the floor behind him.
"Is that better?" he asked in a silken tone.
Hayden let out a snort. "You just wanted to be shirtless."
Joel ignored him and kept his gaze fixed hotly on her. "Or I can take your shirt," he hummed. "It's about my size." His voice lowered into a sensuous purr and he reached for the hem of her shirt.
"No!" She swatted his hand away. "I'm not wearing anything beneath," she murmured, all too aware that all three men were listening to her every word.
"Oh, I know," Joel groaned, leaning forward to kiss her neck. "Who do you think helped dressed you last night, my sleepy little bunny? Had to cover all these soft curves and somehow go to sleep next to you with a raging hard-on."
"Then why did you?" She asked and turned to cast Hayden a questioning look. Last night she had barely gotten any homework done. All she thought about were Hayden's heated words. "Last night you made it seem…"
Hayden ran a comforting hand along the length of her back even as Joel continued to nuzzle her neck. "A few factors, sweetheart. One, we didn’t get back until very fucking early this morning. Something happened at the meat packing plant making the last shift stay two hours over."
"Thus, making all of our normal clientele really late to arrive," added Vic from the stove where it looked as if he was flipping pancakes.
Hayden nodded. "And by the time they got there let's just say everyone was in the mood to really cut loose."
"Went through two extra kegs of the Heineken than normal," Joel muttered wearily against her shoulder.
"And not to mention me getting beat up by a tree." Hayden touched his cheek in grim reminder. "So yeah, when we came home, I was dog tired and was positive I wasn't going to be able to get it up if I wanted to. That was until I walked into the bedroom and saw you sleeping practically ass up."
"That changed things real fast." Joel leaned back and held her by the shoulders at arm’s length. Sapphire laughed as his eyes suggestively traveled over her as if painfully recalling the sight he walked into last night.
Behind her now, Hayden bent over her shoulder and kissed the other side of her neck. "But I knew if I fucked you how I wanted to, I might have to endure Vic crying outside my door and I figured I would exercise restraint at least for his sake."
