thighs apart. To see her glistening opening up close. To be able to reach forward, as he did now, and run his tongue along her.
His heart soared. Soon he would hear the delightful soft sounds she made as he brought her to bliss. He would taste her honey sweetness as she erupted in orgasm.
He parted her folds with his thumbs and gazed at her slickness.
She shifted a little. “Hey, what are you doing down there?”
“I’m admiring you.”
“That’s not my best angle.”
“Are you kidding?” He chuckled. “Anyway, is there somewhere you’d rather I be looking right now?”
“Well … no.”
“Good.”
At that, he stroked his finger along her opening, then licked again. She sighed. He glided his thumbs forward and opened to peer at the little button swelling inside the petals of moist flesh. He ran his fingertip over it, and she gasped.

Crystal threw back her head as she sucked in air. Brent’s finger stroked her sensitive nub, then his tongue flicked against it. She murmured deep in her throat. Then he sucked. She forked her fingers through his hair and clung to him. He flicked her clit again and drew his head back, peering at her in the moonlight. She arched upward.
It had been wonderful touching him again, especially after believing she’d lost him forever. Feeling his hard cock in her hands and mouth … knowing she turned him on so thoroughly … sent her over the moon.
Now, with him touching her, his tongue driving her wild … she was in heaven.
His fingers glided inside her slick passage as his lips nibbled her tender flesh. He licked, then sucked again. Heat swelled through her and pleasure skittered along her nerve endings.
“Oh, God, sweetheart, you taste so good.”
His fingers stroked faster and she arched again, then heat blasted through her. He sucked on her clit and she moaned as her whole body seemed to vibrate with intense energy. She gasped as blissful waves shuddered through her. She sucked in air and moaned again, clutching his head to her as an intense orgasm flung her to paradise.
Brent flopped down beside her. He took her hand and they lay there, staring up at the starry sky.

Evan watched out the window at Crystal lying flat on the grass, totally naked, Brent stretched out beside her. His heart ached. He hadn’t meant to watch. Didn’t want to see what he’d seen. But he’d been mesmerized. Hypnotized watching the woman he loved being drawn back to the man she should be with.
Guilt sidled through him at the thought that he never should have told her how he felt about her. Not only had it betrayed his best friend, Brent, but it had put Crystal in turmoil and caused the resulting pain of Brent leaving her at the altar. That wouldn’t have happened if Brent hadn’t seen Crystal kissing Evan.
If Evan hadn’t told Crystal about his love, she wouldn’t have suffered the pain of the last couple of days. She would be married to Brent now and they would be enjoying their honeymoon.
As he watched the two lovers stretched out on the grass under the stars, he realized that the universe had put everything right again. Brent had arrived to win back Crystal, and it appeared he had succeeded.
Evan’s heart ached. But when he’d told Crystal how he felt, she’d kissed him with passion and … love. He was sure Crystal had feelings for him. He could tell by the way she looked at him. The tenderness in her eyes. The loving way she’d touched him. The passionate way she’d made love with him.
It wasn’t his imagination. She had feelings for him. Sure Brent had found her first, but that didn’t mean she might not love Evan more.
Except that there they were. Two lovers enjoying the delightful afterglow of their lovemaking.
He’d heard the splash earlier and had gazed out his window to see Brent surfacing from a dive, then swim to Crystal. He’d watched, his heart sinking, unable to look away as they’d given each other pleasure.
