“You want me to help clean up?” Fern asked. Levi
shook his head.

“No, you go on up,” Levi said, patting her shoulder.

****

After she undressed and brushed her teeth, Fern
pulled back the covers and got into bed. She rolled over and stared out into
the hall. The clinking of glassware resounded through the house. Hushed voices
hung in the darkness. Hearing her name, Fern abruptly sat up, listening. It was
Levi. Fern couldn’t detect his words. Alec’s voice tried to smother out the
tone of Levi’s, which seemed to grow more enunciated with every word.

Fern slipped out of bed, creeping out into the hall.
A tiny night light at the end of the hallway in the bathroom tossed a faint
glimmer of light onto the carpet. Her toes dug into the fibers with every step.
She leaned over the stairwell. Muffled groans reached her ears. Levi’s urgent
question made every pore of her skin tingle.

“Don’t you want her?”

Alec’s breaths echoed through the house. A loud
thump filled the quiet. Fern edged down the stairs, her ears on alert.

The men were in the corner of the kitchen. Fern’s
eyes popped open at the sight of Levi pressing Alec up against the wall. The
overhead lights in the kitchen were off. A small fixture above the sink bathed
the kitchen in a soft glow.

“Don’t you?” Levi asked, his tone an impatient growl.
His fingers wove through Alec’s hair, tugging his head back. Fern gasped,
feeling her fingers curl into her damp palm. Levi’s hips jutted into Alec’s
body. Fern’s eyes followed the long line of Alec’s extended neck. Alec
swallowed hard, his eyes heavy. Fern held her breath, her head exploding.

“I do … more than you know,” Alec said, his
confession a raw whisper.

“Then what are we waiting for?” Levi asked. Levi’s
mouth latched onto Alec’s neck, nibbling and sucking.

“Ah God,” Alec called out, his voice barely audible.

“I’m dying here, man,” Levi mumbled into Alec’s
neck. Fern watched Alec’s hands wander, petting Levi’s strong torso. Alec
ripped the tails of Levi’s shirt out of his pants. “You
gonna
get me off?” Levi asked, pulling back, his eyes glinting. There was a fire in
them that had Fern’s wicked thoughts running between sides. Fear laced with a thrilling
rush made her body twitch. Her hand was on the electrical fence that surrounded
their arena. She felt the volts, standing on the outside. What would happen if
she was to enter?

Fern’s heart pushed into her throat. Her womanly
reactions kicked in, responding to the sight of them. They were exquisite
together, such a turn-on. All that had been hazed over with indecisiveness was
now becoming increasingly clear.

They wanted her, but were their wants equally
balanced? She didn’t want to cause any trouble between them. How did things
like this work? It was obvious that their household had been stable and
tranquil prior to her arrival.

I’ve
never done this! I don’t know what I’m doing.

The shadowed lines of their hard bodies came
together, pressing tighter. When Alec released Levi’s cock, Fern lost it. A
squealing yelp spilled from her mouth. She stepped back as her hand flew up to
her mouth, but it was too late.

Both men spun around. Two sets of shimmering eyes
drilled into her. Her nipples tingled, protruding against the thin cotton of
her short nightie. Her belly was already
swelling,
flooded with arousal, an arousal Fern wasn’t sure she knew how to act on.

Levi’s gruff voice took
over,
dominating what would be the confrontation of all confrontations.

“Frances,” he breathed, his voice dripping with
want.

Levi slinked across the linoleum, his pants unzipped
and clinging to his hips. Alec hung back, his mouth parted, his face lined with
concern. Levi shrugged off his shirt, tossing it behind him. He spoke again,
his tone softening.

“You’ve got us all hot and bothered here. I’m sorry,
baby, but the truth is—”

She wouldn’t let them finish, her conscience pulling
her back into reality.

“I won’t be the cause of any division here, between
you,” she said quickly. Her skin moistened with sweat. Her eyes tracked over
Levi’s chest. His biceps gleamed, his flesh alive. Dark lines of definition
accentuated his toned chest and abs, his nipples dark nuggets. She followed
those lines down into his groin. Her mouth dried at his magnificence.

His nostrils flared as his hand worked over his
cock, the head gleaming with a satiny sheen. Levi was entirely smooth, not a
thread of hair anywhere. Fern bit down hard on her lip, unsure of what to do or
say next. Leave it to Alec to offer her consolation.

“You’re not causing any division. It’s unification
that we want, and we want it with you.” His words were cautious. Alec ran a
hand through his hair, shifting his weight from foot to foot, his eyes darting
with nervousness.

“That’s right,” Levi said. One side of his mouth
tipped into a wicked grin. “Oh Frances, how well you’ll complete things.” He smiled,
still closing the space between them. He stood inches away from her now, his
cock lunging for a tender hand to touch. “You’re beautiful, kind, and
sensitive, so sweet you’ll be.” Levi reached for her. He traced her mouth with
the pad of his finger, outlining her lips.

She fell into Levi’s eyes, swept away, under his
spell. He was leading her in, yet the fear still teased, mocking an inadequacy
that was fighting her, nursing her awkwardness. Alec was closer now, but still
careful with his approach. Levi continued to lay out all the desires they’d
kept caged for weeks.

“I want you, Frances, and so does Alec,” Levi said,
his voice thick with need. “There’s just so much we want, and we want it all
with you.” He smiled. Levi closed in on her, snaking his other hand around her
neck. She felt the stiff stalk of his erection graze her hip.

Every joint went tight. Hesitation wormed through,
colliding with an unfamiliar desire. It was truth or dare, all woven into one.

The insecurities that’d been planted inside her by
Johnny’s behavior had her feeling inept. Fern forced those memories out of her
mind, fighting to not give into his malicious comments. Johnny was the one who
was insecure.

Levi’s grip tightened. He tipped her chin, forcing
her eyes to his. Fern’s gaze bolted back to Alec. Alec licked his lips, his
eyes simmering with a similar heat. Fern looked back and forth between them, her
body on overload. Levi spoke again.

“We’d never hurt you, Frances, please know that,”
Levi whispered. “You were led here for a reason, ushered away from all the
chaos of your previous life. Let us show you what that reason is. Allow yourself
to experience all that we have to offer.” Levi lowered his hand, his other
still jerking his cock.

“Please, Fern,” Alec said, his voice meek. “Fuck.” Alec
sighed. Frustration puffed between his lips.

Fern tried to remember to breathe. Her mind attempted
to wrap around it all. She took in Alec standing adjacent to Levi, his face
agonized with need. His frayed jeans draped over a pair of lean hips and long
legs. His cropped t-shirt had been riding up his flat abdomen all night,
taunting her. Alec’s silvery-blue eyes locked with hers. Levi interpreted the
vibe, jumping on board.

“He’s beautiful, isn’t he?” Levi asked, smiling.
“It’s okay, honey. What’s mine is yours. I know you’re a bit frightened of me,
and that’s all right. We can remedy that over time. Nothing would bring me more
pleasure than to watch you two together,
right
here,
right now.” Levi sighed. His eyes narrowed into slits, his hand now working his
body harder and faster.

“Oh, God help me,” Fern whined.

Levi’s hard chuckle resounded around them. His eyes
opened, dropping down to hers.

“Ah, no,
we’ll
help you. Just relax and let us,” Levi said softly.

Chapter
Fifteen

 

She was petrified, and Alec was desperate to erase
that. Despite her wide eyes, Alec could see the heat. He could feel it
combusting, wanting to get out. Fern was unsure of herself. Alec intercepted
Levi’s gaze. With years of practice, he could decipher it.

Levi was putting Alec in the driver’s seat, knowing
that his authoritative conduct could ruin everything. His lover’s light voice
washed over them, filling the heavy darkness, causing it to drip around them
with a suggestiveness that had Alec on the verge of spurting in his boxers.

“Come, Fern,” Levi said, tilting his head. He took
her hand, slowly leading her toward the glass-topped coffee table. Alec quickly
removed the scattered magazines and coasters. His body raged, his skin damp and
sweltering. He yanked his shirt over his head, tossing it behind him.

Faint shadows crossed her beautiful, bewildered face.
Her hushed words rasped out of her mouth, a mouth Alec couldn’t wait to drink
from.

“I … I don’t know … I need help.” Her words stalled,
just as her body was. Levi sat down on the edge of the coffee table, his cock
stretched tight and smooth against his abdomen.

“You just sit right here and let my beautiful boy
escort you through.” Levi nodded. He placed his hands on her hips, turning her
body around. “But first, can we remove this hindrance?”

Levi fingered the hem of her nightie. Yellow panties
winked at him in the faint light. Alec swallowed, his fingers curling into
fists.

Fern lifted her arms, clearly unable to find the
words.

The white cotton slid up her body, exposing her
shiny flesh. Alec’s eyes took a tour of the rounded, sensual curves of her
body.

Holy
fuck!

Fern was curved right where she should be. Her
breasts were just the right size, leaving nothing to escape his roaming hand
and hungry mouth. Her nipples were a dusky pink, puckered and ready to suckle.
Her navel was exotic.
 
 
He
 
wanted
to dip his tongue into it. Levi
gently coaxed her as he slowly slid her panties down her legs. Levi’s eyes
flashed with a ravenous impatience, though his tender manner remained
sustained.

Levi gently lowered Fern into his lap, giving Alec a
spectacular, full frontal view.

“So lovely, so beautiful you are,” Levi told her,
leaning into her body from behind, dusting the curve of her shoulder with light
kisses. Alec lowered to his knees, knowing where this was going. They’d spent
many a night on the heavy, square coffee table.
Its
hard and transparent surface provided a clarity that had enriched every
encounter Alec had ever experienced with Levi.

Levi’s hands smoothed over her skin. Alec watched
her cave. Fern’s body was loosening, receiving Levi’s touch. Fern’s head tipped
back. Her lips parted. Her firm breasts lifted, provoking him.

Alec breathed her in, smelling her heady scent. She
expelled the sweet aroma of an aroused woman. Her pores bled with a fragrance
she’d applied. He’d smelled it at the club, having stored it in the recesses of
his brain.

“You feel my hard cock against your ass?” Levi’s
tone deepened.

Fern’s eyes darted to his. Alec crawled closer. The
sensual curve of her neck had his mouth watering. He spoke to her for the first
time, knowing he would be the first to kiss, taste, and possess her.

“I…”Alec paused, searching for the right words,
demanding perfection of himself tonight. “Know you’re safe. Allow us to show
you how it can be,” he whispered. Alec took her hand. Her palm was hot and
damp. Alec lifted her fingers to his mouth, kissing the tips. “Please, relax.
You’re so gorgeous.”

Levi’s hands slid over her shoulders and down her
back, wanting to soothe along with his words. Alec leaned into her, seeing
Levi’s sedated expression behind her. Levi’s hands came around again, caressing
Fern’s skin, dancing over her ribs before cupping her breasts.

Fern’s eyes closed, her lungs expelling a hissing
breath. She whimpered, sagging back into Levi’s chest.

“So lovely you are,” Levi’s said, nuzzling her ear.
Alec leaned back on his heels, taking her in, marveling at her naked splendor.
Seeing Levi’s hands fondling her
feminine
 
flesh
had Alec swallowing a choking
sob. Levi moved them forward, giving Fern a gracious preview of what he had in
mind for them.

“We want to bring you pleasure while worshiping your
beautiful body,” Levi said softly as he shifted her in his lap. His fingers
skated over her shapely thighs. Levi’s hands reached below her knees and slowly
lifted her legs, spreading them open. Her pussy flowered, shaded by a light
dusting of black hair. Fern moaned, her hips flinching. “Don’t worry, Frances, we’ve
got you.” Levi kissed the back of her neck between his reassuring words.

Levi presented Fern to Alec. Alec filled the space
between her legs, resting his hands on her knees. Her flesh beckoned him,
feeling like hot silk under his hand.

Fern’s lustrous brown eyes opened, crippling Alec
right where he knelt.

“I want to kiss you,” Alec said, straining through a
throat that’d gone tight. Fern reached for him, cupping his cheek. It was all
he needed. His pulse sang in his ears, echoing in his head like a drum.
