shock. As much as he wished Tag hadn’t quite put it that way, he enjoyed seeing her blush. She was so perfect for them.
“Do you like the tub, Tessa? Most women love the big soaking tubs for long bubble baths.” Zander turned her attention to the massive tub he and Tag had fought over. Tag had wanted the one with jets, but Tag had pointed out that they had the hot tub on the deck.
“I love it. I’ve never really had one to take baths in. Usually we only had showers or a combination that I didn’t like taking baths in.” She stepped out of the shower and eyed the large tub with obvious curiosity. “I’ve never actually had a bubble bath before.”
“We’ll have to remedy that as soon as possible then,” Tag said, surprising Zander. “But not right now.”
Zander watched as the other man took two quick steps into the bathroom and picked Tessa up in his arms. He turned and carried her back into the bedroom and deposited her on the edge of the bed.
“Undress for us, baby girl,” he said.
“What?” she squeaked, jumping down from the bed to stand next to it. “Now?”
“Yes. Here, now. We want to explore that sexy body you’ve got going on there.” Tag smiled and reached behind him to grab his T-shirt and jerked it over his head then off his body.
Zander wanted to curse at his friend’s abrupt demands of Tessa, but he felt the same way. He would have handled it differently though. Instead of arguing with him and sending mixed signals to Tessa, he took a step closer to her and captured her mouth in a kiss. She was so surprised that she opened to him without any persuasion. Not that he wouldn’t have enjoyed that as well, but it kept things moving along the rapid pace Tag had set.
Her mouth tasted like sweet candy with a twist. He explored every area of it, using his tongue to prod and tap until he’d memorized it so he could trace it in his sleep. He wanted to know everything there was to know about her and couldn’t wait to explore other areas as diligently.
Tag had her down to only her panties and bra now. When Zander pulled back from her tempting mouth, she realized that she was nearly naked. Tessa halfheartedly resisted the other man’s efforts to remove those final scraps of clothing, but they soon joined the rest of her things on the floor by the bed. Zander got busy removing his own clothes. He wasn’t going to let Tag have all of the fun.
“You’re gorgeous, kitten,” Zander told her as he removed his clothes.
Tag had her bare to their gazes now, though she’d initially tried to cover herself with her hands. Zander could see how uncomfortable she was, and he worried that she’d back out if they pushed her too much harder. Thank goodness Tag seemed to realize that as well with his next words.
“You deserve a bubble bath, baby girl. Zander is going to run one for you to help you relax while I give you a massage, nothing else, just a massage.” He looked over his shoulder at Zander and jerked his head toward the bathroom.
Normally Zander was more in control, but he let Tag direct things tonight since he’d established the connection with their woman already. Giving the two most important people in his life one last look, Zander walked to the bathroom to start the water in the tub. He was glad he’d insisted on the oversize tub now more than ever. It was sad that someone as sensual and nice as Tessa had never enjoyed a bubble bath before. They’d make sure she had plenty of them from now on.
Once he’d gotten the water to the temperature he wanted, Zander added the moisturizing bath bubbles that they’d picked out with Tessa in mind. They had a soft vanilla and mint scent that would complement her own. Once the bubbles were established and the water was at the right level for her to relax in without overflowing the tub, he turned off the water and adjusted the bath pillow for her. Then he lit two of the vanilla-scented candles and dimmed the lights to encourage her to
