Marley's Menage (2 page)

“
Those men are history.
Totally out of the picture forever. I haven’t seen them in years.”
Even as she stated it, a slice of sadness pierced her heart. Maybe
she should have been a bit more patient with them. Maybe they would
have eventually come around to her way of thinking. However, even
as she thought about it, she knew it had been more than just talk
about her wanting kids and a stable life that had broken the
relationship all those years ago.

Jaxie nodded and her eyes lit with
understanding.

“
Sorry I shouldn’t have said
that. So you went ahead and did it, did you? Artificial
insemination? Or a one night stand?” Jaxie asked as she placed the
beer glass into a tub already full of glasses and came around from
behind the bar. She was biting her bottom lip thoughtfully as she
continued to stare at Marley’s baby bump.

“
I told you months ago I was
thinking about AI. Didn’t you think I was serious?” Marley asked
when Jaxie remained quiet.

Jaxie lifted her gaze and shook her
head. “No, not really.”

“
You look
disappointed.”

“
Well, I’m kind of an old
fashioned girl myself. I think babies should have at least two
hands-on parents, sometimes more parents depending on the
situation. But hey, you’re a grown woman so you know what you’re
doing. What brings you here, or do I need to ask?” Jaxie nodded
toward a nearby wall and Marley followed her gaze.

There was a tastefully done poster of a
very pregnant blonde woman dressed in a black bra, her baby bump
bared for all to see. Standing beside her were two sexy hunks with
towels draped over their shoulders. They each held erotic shaped
soaps in one hand and their other hand was lovingly placed upon the
woman’s big belly. Written in big bold pink and blue lettering were
the words Baby Bump Ménage Night.

“
Are you putting your name
in for it? I hear no-strings sex does wonders for a pregnant woman
craving sex,” Jaxie asked.

“
As a matter of fact, that’s
why I’m here.”

Jaxie clasped her hands to her chest
and amusement twinkled in her eyes.

“
That’s wonderful.
Unfortunately, there are only a certain amount of rooms available.
I already have more than enough participants so there will be
drawings for keys. The women who draw the ménage key from my
infamous top hat will get two men each for their evening. The rest
will get just one guy.”

Frustration rocked her. There may be a
chance she would not pick the right key and not get her ménage sex
fix in the safe confines of the Key Club.

“
Oh, sweetheart, don’t look
so despaired. There’s still a chance for you. As per my rules I
need to get in touch with your doctor for her confirmation that
this is safe for you.”

Marley nodded. “That’s who sent me
here. She said everything is okay.”

“
Great! So, I’ll check your
file for her number and I’ll call her today to confirm and I’ll put
your name on the list. Unless you hear different, just show up
tomorrow night for the draw. And don’t forget to wear something hot
and daring. My men with a pregnant lady fetish like their
mothers-to-be to dress sexy. It turns them on big time and it’ll
make you feel good too to pretty yourself up for them.”

Oh my gosh. Sexy? Her with her big
belly? Was Jaxie nuts? Despite what she’d just said, excitement
snaked through Marley and she silently apologized to her baby for
even thinking for a second that her big belly made her
unattractive.

She
would
look spectacular for herself and
whoever she got paired with. She would win a spot. She had to or
she would simply go nuts with these erotic cravings. Maybe, if she
got lucky, the two men she hooked up with would be willing to take
the sex out of the club after the ménage and into her bedroom. At
least until her cravings were gone.

One of her best friends, Claire, a
romance writer, had met two men here at the Key Club when she’d
dropped in on a Ménage night to break herself out of a writer’s
block. Claire had never looked happier than she did now because
they’d moved in with her and she’d confided to Marley that they
were fantastic lovers. During a previous shopping spree with her,
Claire had also admitted she was using her two guys to research for
her daring erotic romances and that both men were in love with her
and she was in love with them. Marley wished her the best and hoped
it worked out for them and a ménage relationship wouldn’t end up
getting too complicated as it had for Marley in the
past.

“
I’ll be here,” she told
Jaxie.

“
Wonderful. I wish I could
stay and chat but I need to get prepared for tonight. I’m dressing
as a sex goddess in a ultra-tight gold sexy dress. Oh, I so love my
job,” Jaxie chuckled.

She embraced Marley and gave her a
loving hug. Then she went behind her bar where she lifted the full
tub of glasses she’d been drying and placed it beneath the counter.
She threw Marley a quick wave and promptly disappeared into the
kitchen area.

Well, it looked like she was all set
for Baby Bump Ménage Night tomorrow. She just hoped she’d be one of
the lucky girls who pulled the ménage key out of Jaxie’s black top
hat. Now all she had to do was grab her two favorite shopping
partners and go find something sexy to wear.

* * * * *

“
That’s the one!” Marley’s
friends, Sophie Bennett and Claire Miller, exclaimed in unison as
Marley stepped out of the dressing room, wearing barely a
dress.

“
Are you two serious?”
Marley asked as she gazed at herself in the mirror, shocked at how
the dress sensually hugged all her curves.

“
Yes, this is the dress for
you,” Claire stated in a tone that left no room for
argument.

“
Lady in red. Hot girl on
the prowl,” Sophie said.

“
But it shows
everything
. The skirt is
so short that if I bend over, they can see my ass.”

“
They’re supposed to, that’s
why the G-string thong comes with it,” Sophie replied with a
chuckle.

“
The halter top enhances my
already too big breasts,” Marley complained as she continued to
gaze into the mirror.

“
And my goodness I didn’t
think my baby bump was so…huge.” She silently apologized to her
baby for that remark and turned so she could get a side view of
herself. Well, actually, she did look erotic in this dress. She
appeared curvy and…yeah, sexy.

“
Seriously, you are one hot
looking mamma-to-be,” Claire replied as she gazed at Marley in the
mirror with an expression that conveyed seriousness and
excitement.

“
Sexylicious,” Sophie
commented as she nodded with approval.

Marley laughed. “Is that even a
word?”

“
With you looking so
beautiful, you just created it,” Sophie indicated with a
wink.

“
Sexylicious. I love that
word,” Claire said with a huge grin. “And I’ll add my own word for
you, Marley. Curvylicious. You are perfect for men who are into
pregnant women. You’ll turn heads at The Key Club. Maybe you’ll
find a couple of decent lover guys like I did.”

Marley shook her head. “No, please
let’s not go there. I’m not looking for love, just some wild sex
with no strings.”

A weird look zapped between the two
women and before Marley could ask them what was going on, the sales
lady appeared. She began oohing at how lovely Marley looked in that
dress and before any more doubts could plague Marley, Claire told
the sales lady that Marley was taking the dress and that Claire
would be paying for it. Before Marley could protest, her friend
gave her yet another stern do-not-argue-with-me look, which made
Marley clam up.

“
Thanks a bunch for the
dress, Claire. I really appreciate this gift, and thanks so much
girlfriends for helping me shop at such short notice,” Marley said
as a few minutes later as they stepped out of the maternity
boutique.

“
That’s what best friends
are for,” Claire replied.

“
And I’ve booked a hair and
manicure appointment for you for tomorrow afternoon at my salon. My
treat. I’m going to make you look drop dead gorgeous,” Sophie
added.

Oh gosh, they were being so nice to
her. So wonderful. From out of nowhere, emotions, thick and raw
bubbled up from deep inside Marley’s chest. Her eyes watered and
her chin trembled as she tried to keep from crying. Gosh, she’d
been doing a lot of that lately. Because of her sweet little baby,
her entire body was changing and sometimes she was crying at the
drop of a hat. Darned hormones. But she wouldn’t give any of it up
for anything. Love for her unborn baby intertwined with her
happiness at having such wonderful friends. Despite trying hard not
to allow it, hot tears streaked down her cheeks.

“
Oh honey, what’s wrong?”
Claire asked as both she and Sophie stopped her on the street.
Their looks of concern sent a shaft of guilt through Marley and for
a moment, she couldn’t speak. She could only shake her head unable
to express that she was suddenly overwhelmed with
happiness.

Both were quick to embrace her. With
their warm arms tangling around her body, she felt loved and safe
as if she were snug inside a cocoon. A moment later, she was
finally able to get herself together and they let her go. Sophie
dabbed at Marley’s face with a tissue, tears glistened in her
pretty brown eyes as well. She looked at Claire, who also had
tears.

Oh great, now she’d made her friends
cry too. She took a deep breath and steadied herself.

“
You guys…” Her voice
sounded so thick with emotion. She cleared her throat and
continued.

“
You’ve both been so great
throughout everything. I don’t know what I would have done without
you two in my life. You’re always there for me, no matter what and
I appreciate it so much.”

“
We’ll always be here for
you, Marley,” Claire replied. “Heck, the three of us have been best
friends since you moved here all those years ago. I’d say that’s a
pretty good track record.”

“
Amen to that,” Sophie
chimed in. She reached into her purse, pulled out another tissue,
and dabbed her tears away.

“
Come on, there’s one more
stop before we turn in for the night.” Claire said. She hooked her
elbow with Marley’s arm and then with Sophie’s and pulled them
further down the street toward the shoe shop.

Chapter Two

“
She’s here,” Kacey Poole,
said in as low a voice as possible, but loud enough so only his
best friend, Rick, could hear as they sat in the dark back booth as
Marley entered the dimly lit Key Club wearing a sinfully sexy red
dress that made his cock jerk to attention.

Rick’s head snapped up. His entire body
visibly tensed and his brown eyes narrowed as he spotted Marley. A
rare grin lifted his lips. Instantly Kacey knew they’d made the
right decision in coming here tonight. The past ten years with the
Special Ops had been fraught with adventure but also with sadness
and violence. It had been time for them to resign their quest for
helping keep the country safe and to come home
permanently.

They just hadn’t expected to
be told she was pregnant and
not
hooked up with a man. Her wanting a life with one
man and being unable to choose between himself or Rick had been the
reason she’d left their ménage relationship. Of course there had
been another major concern…she’d wanted a stable husband who worked
closer to home but right now he didn’t want to dwell on it. He
wanted to concentrate on Marley.

She had a couple of red streaks down
the sides of her mid-back length blonde hair that made her look
really pretty. The intoxicating way her breasts strained against
that dress, and how voluptuous her luscious curvy body looked had
Kacey’s thoughts about wanting to fuck her going
haywire.

“
She looks hotter than ever
with all those curves,” Rick said.

“
Who knew we had a pregnancy
fetish,” Kacey said, trying hard not to groan at the quick swelling
of his cock.

“
Who knew she would still be
available after all these years,” Rick added.

“
Because she’s been waiting
for us.”

His teasing remark was dashed when Rick
threw him an injured smirk and drew his attention back to
Marley.

“
It’s a good thing Jaxie
called and let us know about Marley craving a ménage,” Rick
said.

“
And Claire and Sophie
giving us a heads up about it too,” Kacey chuckled.

They had arrived back in town a couple
of nights ago and were staying with one of Kacey’s older brothers,
Kalen, who just happened to be one of Jaxie’s best friends. She’d
known about them being back in town and she must have told Sophie
and Claire because all three of them had called within an hour of
each other to spill the news about Marley wanting a ménage and of
her dropping over here to the club tonight.

He watched as Marley, dressed in that
dress that left little to his imagination, walked over to the
gathering of women who slurped on their colorful smoothies. The
women all glared at her as if she was the enemy, but Marley ignored
them as she ordered a smoothie from the tender.
