“We worked together to get you the audition and I told her I’d drop the script and give you the time and date. I also told her that you’d be there. And you will. I don’t know what it will take to help you overcome your fear of auditioning, but I’ll help. I’m not going to let you down, and I’m not going to allow you to let yourself down, either. I’m here for you.”

I looked at him and blinked back tears. My heart thumped with excitement, because of the audition, yes, but also because I had the best best friend in the world.

“I love you, Ellis,” I said, and for a moment he just looked at me. Time seemed to stop as some intense emotion blazed in his eyes. Then he said, “Love you, too, babe.” Then he jumped up and clapped his hands. “Now I’ve got to get to work!” he said, kissing me on the cheek. He pointed to the script. “And so do you.”

Then he was gone in a flash and I’d wanted to dive into the script, I really had, but the more I thought about Ellis’s faith in me, how I would hate to prove him wrong, the script had scared me more and more.

Taking a deep breath, I reached for the script, but froze when I heard the elevator ding outside and voices arguing.

“Kale willnotreduce the size of your penis, Jamie.” Cade’s muffled voice came through my apartment door. “I have no clue where in the world you heard that.”

“Lad, do you have wool in your fucking ears?” Jamie grumbled. “Kale makes yourballsshrivel. I told ya, it’s an acoustic guitar that’ll shrink your cock.”

Grinning, I crossed the distance toward the door and opened it up to find Cade and Jamie chest to chest, nose to nose.

“Fellas.”

“Lassie, you sure you want this hippie in this gig with us?” Jamie grumbled, grouchy as ever, as he stared down Cade.

Cade rolled his eyes before they landed back on Jamie. I briefly wondered what it would be like if they kissed. I shook my head to focus again as I realized Cade was talking to me.

“—there’s plenty of gentlemen out there, Tessa. You don’t need this drum-pounding Neanderthal.”

Sighing, I reached for each of their hands and dragged them inside my apartment. I pushed the door closed with my back and smiled up at them. “Hi,” I said.

“Hey, baby.” Cade leaned in for a kiss, sweet and soft.

“Hey Tonya.” Jamie grinned with mischief before sinking his teeth into the sensitive skin behind my ear.

I shoved his chest. “You’re such an asshole,” I said, shaking my head as I moved to the couch and patted the cushions on either side of me.

Jamie winked at me. “You like it.”

Cade raked his hand through the hair at the nape of my neck, and I leaned into his touch until I was practically lying in his lap, my feet touching Jamie’s thigh. “He is a rathercharmingNeanderthal,” Cade said. “Should we keep him, Tessa?”

“I guess we can keep him around,” I said. “Might need a collar, though.”

Jamie’s eyes darkened as he grabbed one of my feet and kissed my ankle. “Don’t make promises you can’t keep, lassie.”

The intensity of his gaze and the implication of his words was making me wet when Cade shifted behind me.

“What’s this?”

I ignored Cade as Jamie nibbled at my toes with a lustful grin, but when I heard the flip of a sheet of paper, I squirmed around to snatch the script from Cade’s unsuspecting grip. In the process, I kicked Jamie in the jaw.

“Oy, love,” he grumbled. “We haven’t even established our safe words yet.”

I hid the script under my sweatshirt and crossed my arms over my chest to protect it.

Cade grinned down at me as his fingers walked slowly down my arms.“If you wanted me to lose interest in what that was,” he said, “this is the wrong place to hide it.” He gripped the hem of my sweatshirt and pulled it up just an inch.

“It’s nothing,” I said, quickly.

The sliver of bare skin at my waist spiked Jamie’s interest as well, and he shoved himself between my legs. I bit my lip to hold back a moan when he slid his hands up my inner thighs.“What you got there, lassie?” he grinned.

“It’s nothing,” I said again. “Really guys, let’s just move on.”

“You know,” Jamie said, his fingers sliding over the thin material of my boxer shorts, “we have ways to convince you to show us,” Jamie grumbled before hooking a rough finger inside my panties.
