A Little Harmless Fantasy (3 page)

“Think about it, Zee. You, me, a woman who likes to be tied
down...”

Rory’s voice trailed off then he turned Zeke’s chair
around. He leaned closer, bracing his hands on the armrests. The soap
they had shared that morning in the shower permeated the air and
brought back the memories. Zeke closed his eyes and shuddered.

Rory nuzzled Zeke’s neck then he felt his teeth nip at the
sensitive skin. He was a weak man. When it came to temptation there
were only two people in the world who could get him to forget about
the consequences. One of them had just dyed her hair blonde. The
other was Rory.

“You know you like the idea, doncha, love? You’re
picturing it right now.”

Of course he was. His cock twitched as he tried to keep his cool but
he had never had control when it came to Rory. It was one of the
things that both he and Maura had over Zeke. He couldn’t resist
either of them and right now, he wanted Rory. Needed him so much his
hands were already shaking.

Rory kissed a path up to his mouth and then attacked his mouth. His
tongue thrust into Zeke’s mouth, over and over. How could it be
that this man could make him come undone so fast?

When he pulled back, Rory smiled. “Come on, Zee. It’ll be
fun. Just think of everything that we could do. She’s hot for
it too, you know she is.”

Zeke knew Rory was right. Knowing that he could watch her submit, one
of his ultimate fantasies…Damn.

“Need a little relief, love?” Rory asked, his voice
teasing Zeke as his fingers slipped down his chest.

His cock hardened further and his body yearned. He wanted that,
wanted to feel Rory’s talented mouth on his flesh. But…they
were at the office and at the moment, the door was unlocked. They
didn’t hide their relationship, but having sex at the office
was something else. As co owner he couldn’t do something like
that—no matter how much he wanted to.

“No. Not at that office.”

Rory rolled his eyes but backed off. He liked to push Zeke’s
buttons and he had a lot of experience doing just that.

“There was a time when that wouldn’t have stopped you,”
Rory said.

“I wasn’t a boss then. Plus, we are about to leave for an
entire week, or more. I don’t want anyone walking in on us
starting our vacation early.”

Rory gave him a smirk then walked away to the windows that overlooked
Miami. There was something else bugging him, something that Zeke knew
he was trying to work out in his head.

“You have to let it go with Maura. While she might be up for a
little play, Conner would not be happy.”

Rory rolled his shoulders. It was a sure sign that he wasn’t
happy with what Zeke had said. One of the best things and one of the
worst things about Rory was that once he got an idea, he would never
let it go. It was something that made him good at his job, but it
also made him a pain in the ass lover.

“You think she would go for it?”

Zeke sighed. Rory wasn’t going to let it go. “I think she
might. It wouldn’t be good.”

Rory glanced over his shoulder and smiled. Those damned blue eyes
twinkling at him. “I thought you said she was good. I thought
what you said was she particularly liked...”

“I know what I said. It would cause problems here though.”

“Problems? How?”

“Not everyone is like you. Especially women. The complications
at work would be tough. It was hard enough last time when Maura and I
decided to split ways. Besides, you know what happened last time we
brought a woman into the bedroom.”

“It was one hot fucking night, that’s what I remember.”

Zeke shook his head. Rory was right and with Maura, well, it would go
beyond most of his fantasies. But their last experience had been very
bad.

“So, you forget when she started to stalk you? How she
threatened me? You always did have a selective memory.”

“And you remember too. You remember watching me tie Sherry
down, don’t you? The way she happily would do anything I told
her. You liked to watch when she sucked me off.”

Rory’s voice deepened over every word and Zeke had to take a
bracing breath to control his need. His body was throbbing and his
cock was so hard he probably wouldn’t be able to walk straight.
Rory was one of the best at talking sex.

Rory walked toward him. Anticipation skated along his nerves. Zeke
licked his lips. Instead of approaching him, though, Rory veered off
toward the door.

“You think of that when you tell me you don’t want to
share her.”

And with that he left Zeke, the door silently clicking behind him.

Even with the A/C on full blast, Zeke felt a small dribble of sweat
slink down his back. He closed his eyes trying to calm the heat
dancing over his nerve endings. Damn. The man could always control
him.

It had always been like that from the beginning and Zeke had allowed
it. Rory had his control issues because of his childhood and Zeke
could handle it. They weren’t Dom and sub. Zeke was truthful
about that when he told Maura. And weirdly for Rory, he only liked to
Dominate women. Of course, it fed into Zeke’s need to watch.
There was something about watching Rory work over a sub. With the
right sub, Rory could send Zeke over the edge. And Maura would be
perfect.

She was the right combination of sexy, smarts and submissive. He
remembered the first day he met her. Never in his life did he have a
reaction like that to a woman. She had smiled at him, her eyes
sparkling from behind her glasses and his tongue had stuck to the top
of his mouth. He actually stuttered. The only other person who had
made him lose the ability to speak had been Rory.

It was inevitable that they get involved. Their arguing had only been
foreplay to the bedroom. The sex had been wonderful, stellar. Still,
he knew Maura had wanted—needed more. Something he couldn’t
give her.

But Rory could
.

The naughty thought whispered through Zeke and he shivered. He wanted
it more than he wanted his next breath. He wished life was easier,
and he could have both of them. The need he had for both of them
scared the shit out of Zeke. It almost overwhelmed him at times. He
could give into the suggestion, but he wasn’t too sure he would
come out unscathed. He also had to think of Maura. He and Rory would
still be together, and she would be left alone.

He just didn’t think he could do that, no matter how much he
wanted her. Needed her. He loved her too much to take advantage of
her. And wasn’t that just a bitch.

With a sigh, he turned his attention back to work. Zeke had learned a
long time ago that life didn’t always work out the way you
wanted it to.

As Rory watched the traffic on Dolphin Toll Road buzz by, he wondered
if he should have just gone home. He should be packing his bags for
the trip, planning what kinds of things he would like to do while on
Oahu. Their trip had been fast and furious for the wedding and he
hadn’t gotten to see much of the island. He’d only been
to the beach to surf once. The only other time had been for the
wedding. So, he had a lot he wanted to do in the short time they were
there this time.

Instead, he as standing outside waiting on a woman.

He rolled his shoulders. This was definitely something new for him.
As Rory thought about it, he realized he hadn’t really done
that for anyone other than Zee. In all his years, Rory had always
been the one people waited on, even Zee to a point. It was six months
ago when Rory realized that he was sick of waking up alone—even
when he was in bed with someone else.

Rory was pulled out of his thoughts when someone honked their car
horn. He shook away the regrets of the last ten years. Rory knew he’d
been lucky enough that Zee took him back this one last time. In a
way, this was for Zee. Rory knew he wouldn’t be as interested
in Maura if Zee hadn’t been hung up on her.

He rolled his shoulders again as he thought about Maura. He had
always thought Maura might make a good sub. From the moment he met
her, Rory had felt a vibe from her that he was rarely wrong about.
Zee had been mum on her bedroom personality, and Rory had avoided
it—which was a first. Zee wasn’t the kiss and tell type,
but it was as if the two of them had never slept together. It was odd
but seeing the two of them together the last few months told him all
he wanted to know. Zee was still in love with her. Rory could tell.
Every now and then he would catch Zee sneaking a glance at her. He
hid it from everyone else, but Rory had witnessed the look of longing
on his lover’s face. Rory knew Zee well enough to understand he
would never admit it. But it was there, and while he could probably
get an answer from Zee about his feelings, it hurt a little too much
to scratch at that scab. Now that he knew she was into BDSM, and that
Zee thought she might be into it, all he had to do was propose the
idea.

So he had waited thinking about her—which was dangerous. She
was the kind of woman that many men overlooked because they couldn’t
get past her intelligence. Throw in her bulldog brother and the fact
that she was a neurotic workaholic and well, she was a challenge. He
smiled. Rory liked challenges.

He was leaning against his motorcycle when she came out of the
building. Her mind was on something else, something that had nothing
to do with him or Zee. Her head was down and she was rummaging
through her purse for something. For someone so smart, she really did
have a problem with paying attention to her surroundings. But, he
couldn’t complain when it allowed him to watch her without her
knowing. She had a sidewalk-eating stride as if she always had
something important to attend—even when he knew she didn’t
have anywhere to be. Today, she was wearing one of those short little
skirts that showed off the mile of leg she possessed. It was black
and when paired with the stoplight red shirt, it made her stand out.
She might have been a geek in college, but damn the woman had turned
into a stunner. Add in the newly done blonde hair, she sometimes took
his breath away. Okay, not just sometimes. All the time.

“Maura,” he said, stepping in front of her.

She stopped, looked up and blinked. She had the most amazing green
eyes. There were hints of blue in the iris. They were huge behind her
glasses and there was always something very sexy about that. She
looked like a prim librarian—although he knew better. It was
going to be fun to reveal it.

“What are you doing out here?” she asked warily.

He understood her reaction even if he didn’t like it. He hadn’t
been that happy when he’d found out Zee had fallen for the
woman. It had come as a blow to Rory. He wasn’t such as asshole
that he thought Zee had no other lovers. They both had a history and
he was sure Zee also had some people in his past he’d like to
forget. When he realized just how in love Zee thought he was with
Maura, he’d worried about what he should do. Over the last few
months, Maura had grown on him a bit. She was sexy and now he knew
she was a sub, she was even more intriguing. Without a doubt, Zee was
going to end up back in her bed. Rory realized he didn’t mind
that—especially if he were around to control the situation.

“I was just wondering what you think I should bring with me.”

She frowned and he felt her suspicions rising. It was a pretty lame
reason to hang around, but he couldn’t come up with anything
else. It was just another sign that she had addled his brain—which
wasn’t normal. Women just didn’t get to him this way.

“You were just there for the wedding. You know what to bring.”
Then she stepped around him and headed for her car.

She dismissed him, and Rory found he did not like that. It wasn’t
something he was accustomed to as a Dom, especially from a woman. It
rankled him that she kept the hand’s off attitude toward him.
He wasn’t that irritated that she didn’t seem to return
the simple attraction he had for her. Was it because of Zee or
because she was a sub? Not all women did, he thought as he jogged
after her. Maybe that was the reason he had been avoiding her. Now
that he had decided though, he decided it didn’t matter. All he
knew was that he wanted her as a sub. Someone with her
self-confidence would be fun to bend to his will.

She was already unlocking her Mini by the time he caught up to her.

“But, there are a few things I was thinking of that I didn’t
bring last time.”

She threw her purse into the passenger seat. It landed there then
fell over but she paid no attention to it. He’d never seen a
woman with such little regard for her purse as Maura, but that was
just part of her personality. And he kind of liked it. She might
dress like a goddess but he knew beneath it all was a nerd.

“I’m sure whatever you want to bring will be fine,”
she said, her back to him. He used it to his advantage. He approached
her as he enjoyed the view of her ass. His libido did a little tap
dance as she bent over with a huff and picked up her belongs and
stuffed them back in her purse. She had one amazing ass. The skirt
pulled tight over it leaving little to his imagination. Rory could
tell that she was either wearing a thong or nothing at all under the
thin fabric. It took all his control not to reach out and press his
palm against it.

He waited until she straightened out of the car.

“I have a few extra things I would like to bring.”

She jumped and turned around, then backed up when she realized how
close he was. Her eyes widened and her mouth was opened in a silent
gasp. No wonder Zee had been so entranced with the woman. She was all
sex and innocence in a luscious package any sane man would want to
unwrap. As he stepped closer, he caught a hint of her scent. God, the
woman always smelled like heaven. There was something so enticing
knowing that in that nerdy package hid a freak in the bedroom. And he
really liked freaks—being one himself.
