Feeling the Buzz (9 page)

Sebastian straightened to glower down at
her, his feet planted hip width apart. “Take off your clothes.”

Jen scrambled off the bed. “It’s still my
turn. Stay there and don’t move a muscle until I tell you.”

Sebastian looked as if he might argue.
Finally, he gave a curt nod, his gaze tracking her as she ambled toward him.
With nimble fingers, she unbuttoned his shirt, leaning forward to nibble at the
swell of one pectoral muscle. He drew in a sharp breath but didn’t move.
Gradually, she divested him of his shirt and knelt in front of him to remove
his boots and socks.

“Now the good part,” she said.

“Next time,” he said, exploding into a
flurry of movement. He undressed her in seconds flat, tossing her clothes over
the floor. His remaining clothes disappeared just as quickly. “Better.”

Jen stared at him, unable to glance away
even if she’d wanted to. His grin stole her breath, made her desperate to touch
and kiss him, show him some affection. Part of her wondered how she’d come to
be in this position—naked with Sebastian. It was enough to make a girl giddy.

“You do want this?” His eyes pierced her,
seeing more than she was comfortable with.

She laughed lightly. “On the bed. I’ll show
you exactly how much I want to be with you.” When he didn’t move fast enough
for her liking, Jen pounced, pushing him down on the mattress. His light blue
eyes widened, a slow grin tugging at his lips again.

Jen didn’t give him a chance to regroup.
She straddled his hips, letting her hands wander all over his beautiful body.
Muscles sculpted by hard, physical work. Warm skin. And an erection, strong and
thick with a ruddy head. “You’re very tempting.”

“Fair warning. If you don’t hurry this
along, I’m going to take control.”

A chuckle burst from her. “Don’t you
believe in foreplay?”

“When I’m the one doing the playing,” he
muttered.

“Hands-on kinda guy, huh?”

“Believe it.” Once again he exploded into
action, using his strength to overpower her. A squeak escaped her, although he
didn’t hurt her. She found herself caged between his arms and the mattress,
staring up into his handsome face. His lips descended, and she didn’t consider
fighting for freedom because it didn’t matter either way. She was right where
she wanted to be.

Her arms curled around his neck, holding
him close. His scent washed over her, again the hint of citrus with an
underlying masculine scent that made her think of the wild outdoors and
windswept beaches. His erection slid over the smooth skin of her stomach,
leaving a wet trail. Her pussy pulsed in recognition. “Condom?”

“Thank god,” Sebastian said in a fervent
voice. He reached for a bedside drawer and pulled out a handful of condoms.
“Want to try some of the lube?”

Jen grinned. “You can never have enough
lube.”

“Someone listens to Gaby’s lectures.”

“Yeah. Hard not to absorb some of what she
says.”

Sebastian parted her legs, baring her to
his gaze. He slipped a finger inside her and removed the remote vibrator. It
left her feeling empty. She squirmed a little, trying to find something to rub
against, something to soothe the ache riding her.

“Steady.” With the condom in place,
Sebastian opened the bottle of lube and squeezed some onto his hand. The cool
sensation did nothing to bank down her need. Instead it seemed to ramp it up,
the icy chill morphing to fiery heat.

She gasped. “Sebastian. Now. No more
mucking around. Please.”

Without another word, he positioned himself
and pushed deep.

“Yes,” she said with a hiss of pleasure.
Her fingers dug into his ass, silently encouraging him to go faster, harder.
The next stroke almost made her eyes cross, the pleasure sizzling across her
skin, growing bigger, hotter. “Sebastian, please.”

“What do you need?”

“Touch me.”

His finger slid between them, rubbing
across her clit.

“Yes! Just there.” A familiar shimmer
started. The sensation streaked down her legs, then the pulses started. Hard
spasms that seemed to go on forever. She sighed and clutched Sebastian’s
shoulders more tightly. She gasped when his strong drive into her elicited
another strong pulse.

“Damn, that feels good. I like the way you
grip my cock. I want this to last.”

Gaby’s advice chose that moment to flash
into prominence. “Where’s the lube?”

“Why do you want it?”

“Me to know,” she whispered in a seductive
voice. She spied the bottle and grabbed it, thumbing the lid open. “Carry on,”
she said when he paused in his thrusts. “Don’t worry about holding on. We can
do this again.” She spoke against his ear. “We have all night.” Her tongue
lashed his earlobe before delving delicately inside. While he was distracted, she
caressed one butt cheek. The fingers of her other hand stroked across his
pucker. He froze.

“What are you doing?”

“Just trying something Gaby suggested.”

“You discuss us with Gaby?” Now he sounded
pissed.

“Don’t be silly. Any discussion is only in
generalities. I’d never give away any secrets about either you or Wayne.
Besides, I told you I intended to ask questions.”

Sebastian cleared his throat. “Shit, I
wasn’t thinking. Of course you wouldn’t.”

Instead of commenting further, she ran her
finger back and forth. Some of the tension left Sebastian until she pushed her
finger into him. He froze again.

“Don’t tense up. I just want to make you
feel good.”

“You haven’t got anything up your ass.”

“Jeez, it’s just a fingertip. You probably
figure you’re gonna fuck my ass at some stage. Makes sense since there are two
of you. You and Wayne have kissed. You intend to do more. Right?”

“Maybe.”

“Then don’t be such a baby.” She pushed her
finger deeper and slid it back out. When he didn’t protest she repeated the move,
massaging inside him. He thrust into her again, his cock harder and larger than
before. His strokes became erratic, his breaths noisy. She could feel his
racing pulse and gloried in the knowledge she was doing that to him. She held
his pleasure in her hands, and being with Sebastian, with Wayne, it felt so
right. Perfect. She moved her finger around, searching. His body twitched
without warning. He groaned. Ah, there. She’d found the right spot.

“Jen.” He shuddered when she moved her
finger back and forth. His hips jerked, and he did two rapid strokes before
freezing in place. He stayed right where he was until Jen removed her finger
and stirred.

“Too heavy.”

“Sorry.” Another groan slipped from him as
he lifted off her and dealt with the condom. “Damn, the bloody thing broke.”

“You’d better make a note of the batch
number for Gaby. She’ll want to know.”

“The condom broke,” Sebastian repeated.

Jen yawned. “No problem. I’m on the Pill.”

“Oh. Good,” he said finally. “Come and have
a shower with me.” He waggled his ass and looked over his shoulder to wink at
her. “We have one of those waterproof duck things.”

“Another of Gaby’s vibrators?”

“Yeah. You interested?”

“You and Wayne are full of surprises,” she
said, taking his hand. Somehow it didn’t seem to matter that they were naked.

“Stick around, Jen. You ain’t seen nothing
yet.”

Chapter Eight

It was silly to be nervous about going to
school. Sebastian had kept her mind off her first day by keeping her busy for
all of Saturday. Now it was Sunday and school loomed like UFOs on the Sloan
horizon.

Sebastian buzzed a kiss across her cheek.
“What’s up?”

“I’m apprehensive about school tomorrow.
All the kids are so much younger.”

“You’ll be fine.” Sebastian handed her a
cup of coffee. “All you need to do is keep your head down and hand in your
assignments. You don’t need to worry about boy-girl stuff
because—newsflash—you’re taken.”

“You make it sound easy.” She remembered
her school days, even if she had left early to look after her mother. “All the
cliques. Navigating them is hard. Scary.”

“Don’t forget the kids in your class are
new to this too.”

“But they know each other.”

“Honestly, Jen. You get on well with
everyone. You won’t have any problems.”

Easy for him to say. “It’s closer to lunch
time than breakfast. Should I make a bacon and egg pie?”

“Wayne has a sweet tooth. Why don’t we make
some cookies too?”

“Anything to keep my mind off tomorrow.”

It was fun working with Sebastian in the
kitchen. Between snatched kisses and lingering touches, they managed to make the
pie and two batches of chocolate chip cookies. They ate outside on the deck and
talked about her school courses and Sebastian’s and Wayne’s plans for their
business. And they discussed Wayne.

“Do you think Wayne is serious about both
of us?” Sebastian asked.

“I think so, but anything could happen.”
Jen hesitated before deciding to go with honesty. “Things might not go as
smoothly once people in the town learn we’re not sharing a house for
convenience. You and I don’t have any close family left, but Wayne does even if
they don’t actually live in the town.”

Some of the happiness seeped out of
Sebastian, and she wished she’d kept her doubts to herself.

“Do you think Wayne’s family will put
pressure on him?”

“Sebastian, once I finish school, I’m going
to leave Sloan and go to university. It’s what I’ve always wanted.” She needed
to keep things real.

“Yeah, I know. I admire you for going after
what you want. Would you like to go for a walk?” Sebastian asked in a rapid
change of subject.

“Sure.” Jen stood and took his outstretched
hand.

Together they ambled from the deck, taking
a path leading down to the Sloan River. The track ran through a stand of native
trees, and the leaf litter crunched beneath their sandals. It was cool under
the trees, a fresh green scent tickling her nose. A respite from the summer
sun.

Maybe moving in with Wayne and Sebastian
wasn’t such a good idea. If she were wise she’d tell them she’d move out. She
thought about that and rejected the idea immediately, because the last two days
spent with Sebastian had been so much fun. The sex was incredible, and the
little time she’d spent fooling around with Wayne rated as special too. They’d
been friends of sort ever since she’d worked for them—well, acquaintances—and
since her leaving party their familiarity had changed for the better. No, she
didn’t want to walk away.
But she’d walk away the minute she finished at
school…

“Want to have a swim?”

Jen’s gaze fastened on Sebastian. “Skinny
dipping? What if someone decides to walk down the river path?” Despite her
protest, even she caught the note of intrigue hovering in her voice.

“We’ll hear them coming,” Sebastian said.
“Besides, all we need to do is keep under the water. They won’t suspect a
thing.”

“You don’t think the piles of clothes on
the riverbank might give them a clue?” Yet the idea of a swim appealed to her.
“I suppose we could hide until they walk past.”

Sebastian chuckled, his hand tightening on
hers. She was becoming addicted to his rare smiles and laughs and couldn’t help
grinning back at him. In this mood he was irresistible.

“Yes! We could do that. I—” His cell phone
started to ring. He glanced at the screen. “It’s Wayne.” He flipped open his
phone. “We’re down by the river. Yep. We’re going to have a swim. You coming
down? Okay. See you in ten.” He ended the call and shoved the cell phone back
in his pocket. “He’s arrived home early and is coming to swim with us.”

“You know you can’t do anything too kinky
out here in the open, right?”

Sebastian waggled his brows. “The bits
under the water won’t show. Last one in the water is a rotten egg.” Sebastian
was half naked before he realized she wasn’t moving. “What’s wrong?”

“I like watching you.”

“You’d better hurry up before I pick you up
and dump you in the water, clothes and all.”

She backed up two steps. “You wouldn’t!”

“Try me.” He kicked off his sandals and
peeled off his shorts and underwear. Naked, he prowled closer.

“Bully.”

“Or I might just jump you instead.” His
eyes gleamed as he took another step toward her.

“I can hear someone coming.”

“It’s probably Wayne.”

“Not unless he’s wearing a bright pink
T-shirt.”

Sebastian glanced in the direction she
indicated, let out a ripe curse and scuttled toward the river. He kicked a
stone, swore again and practically fell into the water. Jen saw a flash of
white bottom, and a giggle burst from her.

“Is it cold?”

“I stubbed my toe,” Sebastian said.

Still grinning, Jen started to collect
Sebastian’s clothes together.

“Jen, what are you doing here?” Richard
Morgan, one of the Fancy Free board members, and his wife Hinekiri came to a
halt in front of her.

An arm slid around her shoulders, and she
jumped, letting out a small
eek
of alarm
.

“Steady.”

Some of the adrenaline settled when she
recognized the low voice, whispering in her ear.

“We’re about to go skinny dipping,” Wayne
said smoothly.

Jen wasn’t sure where to look.

“Those sorts of shenanigans can get a girl
in trouble,” Hinekiri said.

“And you would be talking from experience,”
Richard said in a gruff voice.

Hinekiri’s unusual violet eyes twinkled with
mischief. “Of course. Come, Richard. Let’s leave the youngsters to their
naughtiness.” She waggled her fingers in a gesture of goodbye. “Have fun. And
tell Sebastian he needs to find a fast flowing piece of water if he expects to
hide his nakedness.”

“Hinekiri!” Richard said gruffly, although
his eyes glittered with amusement.

“I can’t help it if I have good eyesight.”

“But you don’t have to look. See you
later,” Richard said, hustling his wife down the river path.

Jen grinned after the retreating couple.
Gaby said the board meetings at Fancy Free were a lot of fun, and Jen could
well believe it. The board members were elderly, but they weren’t slow of mind.

“Did you miss me?” Wayne ripped his gaze
off the faint mark on Jen’s neck and focused on her mouth instead. His
grandmother’s birthday party had come at a bad time. He’d thought about
Sebastian and Jen the entire weekend, about what they might be doing. Together.
He held his arms out in silent invitation, hoping like hell he wasn’t making a
giant mistake. Being away from Sloan had given him too much damn time to think.

But Jen didn’t hesitate. She threw herself
at him, and he wrapped his arms around her, some of his angst fading away.
Their lips met and instantly, Wayne felt better with the intimate contact. He
kissed her lazily, keeping things casual rather than frightening her with the
intensity of feelings coursing through him. Her obvious enjoyment pushed away
the remnants of his anxiety. They were still okay. He’d let his imagination run
away with him.

“Hey! Are you two coming in or not?”

Wayne’s arms tensed before he eased up on
the embrace. No jealousy. This was his best friend. Sebastian would rather rip
off his right arm than hurt him.
But you haven’t wanted the same girl before
.
And he hadn’t kissed and touched his best friend intimately before either.

“Did you have a good time at the party?”
Jen kicked off her sandals and started to undress.

“Sure.” If he didn’t think too hard about
all the “When are you going to settle down?” questions. Shoving aside the
fruitless thoughts in his head, he stripped off his clothes.

He followed Jen down to the water, taking
the time to admire her curvy form. She headed straight to Sebastian, leaping at
him and creating a huge splash. Sebastian laughed, the sound light and
carefree. Something in Wayne knotted, pulling so tight he struggled to draw
breath. They were comfortable together. At ease.

Wayne entered the water, some of his
earlier relief fading as he waded closer to the couple.

“Wayne,” Sebastian said. “How is your
grandmother? Did she have a good time?”

Wayne dredged up strength he hadn’t known
he’d possessed. A smile curved his stiff lips. “We managed to surprise her.”

“We missed you.” Sebastian released Jen and
grabbed Wayne. “I want a kiss too.”

Wayne’s mouth dropped open in surprise, and
Sebastian took advantage. His tongue slid inside, and he curled a hand around
Wayne’s head drawing him closer, taking the kiss into lover territory. A soft
body pressed into him from behind, surrounding him in warmth and strength. A
hard cock dug into his hip bone while stiff nipples stabbed his back.

“I need you around to help keep Sebastian
in line,” Jen whispered.

The tension drained from him.
Stupid.
He’d let his mind get the better of him. All the well-meaning questions from
his family had propelled him into jealousy.

“We’ve been experimenting with Gaby’s sex
toys,” Jen said.

The wall he’d managed to re-erect in his
mind started to tear apart.

“We decided we’re going to practice
everything we’ve learned on you,” Sebastian said. “I hope you’re not too tired
after the drive back from Taupo.”

“Should I be worried?”

“Only if you’re frightened of too much
pleasure.” Jen’s hand slipped between him and Sebastian and closed around
Wayne’s shaft. “We can start now.” She nuzzled his neck. “Give you a taste of
what we mean.”

“Let me jerk him off,” Sebastian said. “You
can take care of the other stuff.”

“What other stuff?”

Sebastian’s calloused hand replaced Jen’s
softer one.

“What other stuff?” Wayne repeated.

“Nothing bad,” Sebastian whispered, seconds
before he claimed Wayne’s mouth and put a halt to further conversation.

The cool river water didn’t put a dent in
the heat that rocketed through him. A hard mouth kissed him while Sebastian
never let up on the hand action. Confident strokes propelled him toward climax,
aided by the fact he hadn’t had sex in any shape or form since he’d left home.
His eyes drifted closed and every sense intensified. The rush of the water over
the stones added a musical accompaniment as did the song of a nearby thrush.
The sun shone down on their naked shoulders, a direct contrast to the
temperature of the water. Every inch of his skin seemed alive, sensitive to the
touch of Sebastian and Jen’s hands. While Sebastian kissed him and continued
with the excellent hand action, Jen stroked his balls, tugged them and ran her
fingers all over his ass. He started when she ran a finger from his balls up to
his asshole.

“Steady,” she whispered in his ear. “We
just want to make you feel good.”

Hell. They were sure shooting holes in his
jealousy. He couldn’t think, couldn’t put his stray thoughts together when they
were touching him like this. The firm tugging on his balls made him realize how
quickly they’d propelled him toward climax. He was only a hairsbreadth away
from tumbling into white-hot pleasure. Then Jen rubbed his pucker, pushing
insistently. Sebastian pulled on his cock. Wayne felt the intrusion of Jen’s
finger, foreign but not painful. Excitement burst through him. He moaned
against Sebastian’s lips and came, his entire body twitching, caught in a
violent maelstrom, his mind blank of everything except the sexual satisfaction.

When he came back to himself, he realized
that Jen and Sebastian were the only things holding him afloat. He struggled to
find his footing, his body strangely lethargic after his orgasm.

“Think what we could have done if we’d—”

“Had lube!” Sebastian finished Jen’s
sentence.

“You two are entirely too pleased with
yourselves.”

Sebastian grinned. “If you want to mutter
about payback I’m up for that. Anytime.”

“I’m happy to sign up for payback too,” Jen
chirped.

Wayne sent them both a disgruntled glare.
“Don’t think the pair of you can gang up on me.”

“Why not?” Jen asked.

“It’s working so far,” Sebastian added.

Wayne burst into action without warning. He
dunked Sebastian under the water and turned to Jen. “Your turn.”

She let out a girly screech and splashed
him with water before ducking under the surface and disappearing from sight.

Half an hour later, exhausted from their
play, they waded out of the river and took possession of a sunny spot on a
grassy bank.

“I’m feeling incredibly horny,” Jen said.
“I wish we’d thought to bring condoms with us.”

Her words surprised a laugh from him. “Is
this our shy office assistant talking?”

“You forget. I’m a student now.”

“We can fix your problem without condoms,
Jen.” Sebastian arched his brows. “Want to have some fun?”

“Which end do you want?”

Sebastian shook his head. “Both. Why don’t
we work in tandem? That way we can kiss each other at the same time.”

“What do you want me to do?” Jen asked.
“And isn’t this a little too public for anything like that? It’s bad enough
that I’m sitting here butt-naked.”

“We’ll hear anyone coming. I promise,”
Wayne said.
