it, then had this odd expression on her face.
“Tell me. I know that look,” he’d prodded.
She tucked a lock of hair behind her ears, and her gaze evaded his. “What look?”
“The ‘I’m thinkin’ something so wicked I’ll burn in hell’ look. Have to tell. I told you my fantasy.”
She shook her head and laughed, but it sounded strained.
“Chrissi?”
“You’ll tell.”
“Tell Ezra?”
She nodded. “I don’t want him mad.”
“It’ll be our secret.”
Her face had screwed up in a grimace. “Sometimes, when I’m in bed and thinkin’…I wonder what it would be like.”
“What?” he’d asked, thinking he might already know from the blush coloring her face.
“What it would be like to be with you and Cade and Ezra…together.”
His heart had thudded against his chest. His cock had jerked inside his jeans then started to fill. He cleared his throat. “You think about it often?”
She nodded, ducking her head. “I know. Makes me sound like a skanky whore, huh?”
“Nothing wrong with fantasies. I’ve had the same one.”
She’d blinked, then her gaze locked with his for a long moment before she’d broken away and shrugged. “So that was my fantasy. Yours is doable. So why haven’t you made a move on Shanna?”
“’Cause my best friend, Bo, wouldn’t like it much.”
And just like that, she’d put the idea in his head. He’d talked to Cade first, who’d warned him not to say a thing to Ezra because he didn’t need Ezra getting bent out of shape.
But things had changed. They’d both started watching Chrissi with more than just a male’s casual appreciation. They’d begun to think of her as a potential partner. It couldn’t be helped, even if they were straying into their brother’s territory.
All it had taken to make things blow up was a conversation that exploded into blistering argument in the truck while they drove to the Homecoming game.
“Penny for ’em,” came a soft voice, pulling him back into the present. The object of his fantasies stood next to him, her smile shy but her chin lifting to let him know she wasn’t gonna let a little thing like a blowjob make her feel less sure of herself.
Warmth crowded into Josh’s chest. “I ever tell you how much I love that sassy mouth of yours, sweetheart?”
She laughed, her cheeks turning a lovely rose. “When it’s full or when it’s dishin’ insults?”
“I’m equally impressed. Grab that plate and I’ll get these steaks off the grill before they’re overdone.”
“You made mine—”
“Like shoe leather, yeah, I remember. Not a hint o’ pink.”
Chrissi picked up the platter and held it while he stacked the thick steaks.
“It’s nice havin’ you here,” he muttered.
“So you all keep sayin’.”
“It’s true.”
“I know that. And I have to admit, it feels kinda natural bein’ here again. Like I never left. Makes it harder, I think.”
“To say goodbye?”
She nodded, then bit her lip. “I’ll take these to the table.”
He watched her walk away while he turned off the propane and closed the grill. She’d let her guard down at last. Was talking to them again, enjoying herself. He knew what they had was good. Ezra told them she hadn’t had a lot of partners over the years so her sensuality wasn’t something she spread around. It belonged to them. How could she even consider cutting off that part of herself? It didn’t make sense.
Walking toward the glass table, he watched Cade hold out her chair and her laugh at something he said, ducking her chin then glancing at Ezra as though seeking affirmation that it was okay for her to enjoy his brother’s attentions.
And that’s when it struck him—what they had to do. Ezra had thought that maybe they should go easy. Make her comfortable, remind her gently how good it was be among them. Cade had been the one to quietly prepare the playroom, the one Ezra had said she wasn’t ready to enjoy.
