The concern in her voice made him smile, as she reached up to him. It pleased him that she liked being lifted and held in their arms like that. There was at least a twelve inch differential in their height, and if she wanted him to hold her to him while he kissed her, that was fine by him. He lifted her and she laid her hands on his shoulders and squeezed his waist with her thighs, hooking her feet at the ankles, and looked back at the guys. “Good night, my bears.”

“Can you come over tomorrow night?” Heath asked. “I’ll be off while Cody, Spencer, and Ryan are at work.”

She looked at Cody and Spencer. “That’s okay, right? That’s how it’ll work?”

Cody nodded and handed Spencer her tote bag. “You’re welcome at our house any night you want to come over.”

“I can’t come over every night but I could do that sometimes. I’d love to see you tomorrow night, Heath. Good night!” she called, giggling as she snagged Cody’s dress shirt she’d worn earlier from the top of the love seat as they passed it, and Spencer carried her out the door.

She gave a happy sigh and laid her head on his shoulder as he carried her to Heath’s truck and helped her in on the passenger side. The ache in his balls intensified and he groaned, rearranging his cock as he walked around the front of the truck.

“Are you okay?” she asked as he climbed into the driver’s seat, started the truck, and put it in gear.

“Yeah, I’ll be fine, baby.” He tried to be subtle about it as he shifted in his seat, hoping to ease the pressure on his balls.

After a few minutes, she sighed and said, “I don’t like this, Spencer.”

He glanced at her in the passenger seat. “Baby, we don’t want you unhappy but we also don’t want you to feel used.”

“What will you do?” There was no need to pretend that he didn’t know what she meant.

“Hot shower,” he murmured as they were enveloped in the darkness along the road leading to Divine.

“Do you think I’m a slut?”

Where the hell did that come from? “No! What?” He probably looked like he’d had the shit shocked out of him.

“Do you want me right now?”

“God, yes. But, baby, you gotta understand why we’re doing this.”

“Help me understand.”

“We want more with you than just sex. We’re trying to build a foundation for something that’ll last.”

“Are you afraid I’ll bolt if all three of you want me?”

“No, we’re afraid you’ll bolt if you think that sex is all we want you for. I wish Cody was here. He could explain it better than me. Baby, I’m gonna be blunt. We’ve had very active sex lives. Very active. Individually, and together. Do you understand?”

“You’ve shared before?” She looked like the thought made her uncomfortable so he pushed forward to get beyond it.

“We’ve got a lot of experience, including with sharing. We’re tired of fucking around. We want something that lasts. We settled in Divine, hoping to put down some roots where our choice to share a woman could become a reality. Then we met you. I know the circumstances aren’t ideal for you, with your job, but what we feel for you is real. Doesn’t matter that it started with just seeing you dancing and Heath being sure we’d find you. I felt something deep for you the moment I made eye contact with you in the coffee shop. We don’t want to risk fucking up what’s developing between us because you get the impression that we only want you for sex. Believe me, baby, we want sex…a lot of it. We’re just not letting our cocks dictate our actions anymore.”

“Because you think you’ll scare me off?”

“Yeah. We wanted to take our time with you, and for you to have the romance…and the sexy stuff.”

He felt her hand on his arm. “Spencer, I think the three of you know more about romance and the sexy stuff than you give yourselves credit for. Maybe things have been fast-paced for us but I’ve felt romanced and cared for every step of the way. I just want to give back.” Her persuasive tone was demolishing his resolve.

“You don’t have to. We don’t expect that.”
