The corners of his mouth kicked up. “I like it when you’re greedy.”

Liam was more deliberate but not any shyer than Ace. He took off his black T-shirt and folded it, allowing her and Ace both to ogle him as his smooth golden skin was revealed. Unlike Ace, he didn’t have a single tattoo, but it didn’t leave him looking plain. No, he reminded her of a statue of the perfect male form she might have studied in a museum.

“Never gets old,” Ace murmured to her as he hauled her close to him, his hard-on rubbing against her side.

But it was when Liam removed his jeans, adding them to the neat pile on his dresser, that she remembered the piercing she’d glimpsed the night before. A flash of silver piqued her curiosity. With his cock hanging heavy between his legs it wasn’t very noticeable, but she intended to ask him a million questions about it later, when they weren’t busy.

Liam strode to where she stood in Ace’s loose embrace and smiled down at her. “Ready to ditch the rest?”

Ruby nodded, if only because she was going to burst into flames if they didn’t touch her soon and she needed to be naked for them to do it right.

“Did I tell you to stop kissing her?” Liam cut his gaze to Ace, who groaned then resumed blowing her mind, this time sucking on her tongue to distract her while Liam unhooked her bra and peeled it from her. The air was cool on her skin for a moment before Ace plastered himself to her front. Liam, however, bent so he could rip her panties from her with a single jerk at each side seam.

Oh. Good thing she didn’t invest in pretty ones.

Ace rocked against her, his cock painting a wet trail in the arc he traced on her belly.

“I can’t believe we almost waited too long to do this,” Ruby muttered when he let her catch her breath and instead feasted on her neck.

“Don’t think about that,” Liam instructed as he ran his fingers through her hair from her scalp to the top swell of her ass. “It doesn’t do any good. We’re here now. Enjoy it while you can.”

She wanted to tell him the same but didn’t have any desire to start a fight or do anything to keep the men from going further in their explorations together. “I intend to.”

Ruby grabbed hold of the spark in the pit of her stomach, the one that had flared to life when she’d stared down the barrels of those assholes’ guns earlier. She craved this. She wanted to make love to her neighbors and finally understand what it felt like to be caught up in the passionate exchange they’d so often had without her.

Ruby couldn’t stand another moment of Ace’s unintentional teasing. She dug her nails into his chest, eliciting a groan from him an instant before she shoved, pushing him backward onto the bed. Before he’d stopped bouncing, grinning up at her like he was having the most fun of his life, Ruby followed him, climbing over him and crawling upward until she straddled his hips.

She might have taken things further, sliding her drenched pussy along the ridge of his cock, if Liam hadn’t chosen right then to distract her. He cupped her breasts from behind, plumping them and pressing them together as he talked to Ace as if she wasn’t right there between them. “She has amazing tits, doesn’t she?”

“Just the right size. And those pink nipples…” Ace reached for them, but Liam smacked his hands away.

“Mine,” Liam chastised. “You play with her pussy.”

“Using my dick?” Ace asked with a lopsided grin that stole her breath. He was handsome, yes, but his expression reminded her so much of the less mature, goofy guy who never hesitated to watch cartoons with her while curled up on matching bean bags in the Shields’ lounge.

That smile and his easy joy in simple pleasures had been missing lately. If she could bring it back, she would. Especially if all it took was letting him fuck the shit out of her. Win-win.

“Fingers first. Don’t rush her.” Liam took Ace’s hand and guided it to her core. Ace took over, first rubbing around her entrance then across it, accustoming her to his touch before he slipped a digit inside her. And when he did, Liam was there, murmuring reassurances in her ear even as he raked his teeth down the column of her neck.

Ace’s fingers stretched her, making her wonder how she’d ever take his dick, never mind Liam’s, which was as girthy as his barrel chest and tree-trunk thighs had led her to assume when she’d pictured him nude in her imagination.

She arched in his hold, trying to align her skin with his mouth. He sucked a spot immediately below her ear. The combination of the pressure of his lips and the scratch of his beard made her cry out. Ace froze, his fingers embedded in the entrance of her pussy.

“You’re not hurting her,” Liam promised.

“Not at all.” Ruby sank lower over his hand, impaling herself on it.

“Fuck, you’re so hot. And wet.” Ace continued working his hand into her, rubbing her in places she hadn’t known could feel that good. He curled his fingers within her, making her shudder in Liam’s grip. Liam wasn’t about to let her fall and instead continued to distract her from any mild discomfort by pinching her nipples and raking his teeth along the column of her neck.

They might have done this often, but she certainly had no stamina built up. “Guys. I… That feels…”

She couldn’t tell them that they were in danger of finishing their fun before they’d started.

“Are you saying you’re about to come already?” Liam didn’t seem as upset by the idea as she was.

Her cheeks flamed and not only from desire.

“That’s good, Ruby.” Ace added his thumb to the action, strumming slow circles around her clit as he pumped his fingers in and out of her. “We’ll give you plenty of orgasms if you’ll let us.”
