the nail with his tongue. “I want to kiss you. Properly.”
    Sadie nodded and moved her hand to cup his cheek. “Yes.”
    With his gaze bouncing between her lips and her eyes, Paul moved in close until she couldn’t keep her eyes open any longer. He was surprisingly gentle as he brushed his lips against hers. The scent of her come on his lips was erotic, daring her for a taste of what Paul had experienced.
    Slowly, she increased the contact between them, parting her lips when he licked at them. He tasted of come and alcohol and she found herself wanting more.
    “Now isn’t that a wonderful sight.”
    Paul broke the kiss but instead of pulling away completely, he rested his forehead on Sadie’s. “About time, Josh.”
    “I figured you two needed a little getting-to-know-you space before I interrupted. Seems like I was right.” Josh stepped behind Paul and placed a hand on his shoulder.
    Sadie’s legs threatened to buckle as Josh leaned forward and kissed her cheek, much as he had earlier. “I am glad you’ve invited me along. If for no other reason than to watch the two of you. You’re gorgeous together.”
    Sadie wasn’t sure what to expect now that the three of them were in the room. Her stomach churned and her hands trembled as she slid one down Paul’s chest to stop above his heart. The nervous giggle that popped from her had Paul frown and Josh smirk.
    “I have no idea what I’m doing.” Her confession wasn’t much of a surprise to anyone.
    “But we do.” Josh pulled back on Paul’s shoulder, giving himself room to pull Sadie free from the wall. “And our boy is a bit too horny to think straight right now. I’ll play host for a minute until his brain kicks in.”
    It was odd how she hadn’t even noticed the surroundings of the room before then. Josh led her over to a small bar and offered her a drink. “I don’t normally have alcohol in the rooms. Too many people would cross the line. But this is my own special place. Perks of being the owner.”
    Sadie accepted the glass of wine from Josh and turned to catalogue the details of the room. There was a king-size bed along one of the back walls, covered in black sheets. The copious amount of pillows seemed unnecessary until her mind started to go through the number of possible uses.
    The dark blue walls and pot lights gave the entire place a cool and secluded feel. There were rings at various heights around the room, though none of them currently housed any chains. Sadie assumed that’s what they were for. Though she hadn’t a clue if Josh was the one doing the tying up, or enjoyed being tied up himself.
    And Paul had known the security code to the room.
    Sadie took a large gulp of the wine, letting the rich liquid burn the top of her windpipe and making her cough. When both men moved to come her way, she held up a hand to stop them. “I’m fine. I drank it too fast.”
    “Sadie,” Paul said, taking another step closer. “If you’ve changed your mind about this we can stop. I don’t want you to feel pressured to do something you’re not comfortable with.”
    “I haven’t.” She took a breath and made sure to keep her gaze on Paul. “I feel like a little girl playing with the big kids. You all know the rules and I’m still trying to figure out what the game is.”
    He was handsome, but there was so much more to Paul than his looks. His humor and inherent need to care for people were only a few of the qualities that had drawn her to him all those years ago. While Josh was gorgeous and she could tell he was a good man, Sadie didn’t feel the same attraction to him. Maybe it had more to do with familiarity, but she was starting to think it was more than that. She and Paul simply worked.
    Sadie knew she could walk out that door and Paul wouldn’t think any less of her. He’d most likely show up at the coffee shop in the morning, maybe ask her out, and they could see where this thing would lead them. She knew that and yet she wasn’t
