He brushed his knuckle over her nipple and smiled when it tightened.
“She’s amazing,” Alex said. His voice was barely audible.
Damon lifted his head and smiled at his friend. “Yeah, she is. She doesn’t realize it, which makes her even more delicious.”
“You know she thinks that this is temporary?”
“Fuck that.” He looked back down at her. “Do you think she really does?”
“Sometimes I’m convinced you’re too close to her, my friend. You don’t see some things.”
That caught his attention, and he frowned at his best friend. “I know her better.”
“You know who better?” Mari asked, sleep threading her voice. He looked up at her, that tangle of brown curls around her face and over the pillow, her face flushed with heat. The arousal that had been simmering now went full boil. It was dark in the room, but he could see her. He now knew every inch of her, but Damon knew her face best. She was classic through and though, with those gorgeous doe eyes, that cute turned up nose and that mouth made for sin. He had dreamed of what that mouth could do to him for years, and now he knew.
He leaned down and brushed his lips over hers. She moaned, the vibrations moving over his mouth and throughout his body. That one little action had him wanting to do nothing better than to plunge into her over and over, take her up and over the peak so fast she wouldn’t be able to stop it. But, he held back. He knew that if he pushed too hard that she wouldn’t be able to handle it.
She arched against him, and he pulled back to watch his best friend kiss down her spine. The purr that rumbled in her chest had his own arousal soaring to new heights. He didn’t think he could get any more turned one that before, but now, just seeing her pleasure had his own body begging for another taste, another touch, another taking.
Damon bent his head and took one of her ripe nipples into his mouth. She moaned, the sound so erotic that he almost came then and there. For all the years that he had wanted her, needed her like he needed his next breath, he had never thought it would be this good. He grazed his teeth over her nipple and couldn’t stop the smile that curved his lips. She couldn’t pretend her reactions, it wasn’t in Mari. She was the one woman who was always open to the world.
He kissed his way down her body, nipping at her soft, supple skin. God, she was amazing, a body made for the most decadent needs. He stopped when he reached her pussy and took a deep breath. Musky arousal filled his senses. It was familiar but so utterly unique to her. There was a hint of her own scent mingled with the arousal, and he groaned.
Damon buried his face between her legs. He didn’t even think, didn’t even try to seduce. The need that he thought had been filled just a few hours earlier now had his blood heating to the point he could barely think. The only thought he had was to take her, and it was overriding any good sense he had.
The moment his tongue slipped between her pussy lips, he couldn’t stop the shiver. The taste of her danced over his tongue. Sweet, spicy, with just a hint of shyness that his brain almost melting. She was such a luscious treat he didn’t know if he would ever be able to get enough of her. And even in this decadence, there was a bit of innocence to her, something that told him she would always have a part of her that seemed untouched.
Her hands molded to the back of his head, and she shuddered against his mouth. He wanted to taste her came, tried to push her over that edge. It didn’t take much. He added his finger and then pulled her clit between his teeth. The moment he did, she came apart. Her moan was muffled, but he ignored that for a moment. He kept eating her, enjoying the way her pussy flushed with her new arousal. He lapped up her juices.
When he pulled back, Alex was moving back to allow her to fall back onto the mattress. She hummed and arched up, stretching out.
“If that is the way you’re going to wake me up, you can do it anytime you want while we’re here.”
He opened her mouth to correct her. He could tell from her tone that Alex had been right. But, he noticed his friend shake his head. Now wasn’t the time to argue or insist, now was the time to love, to be loved, to make her feel like she was the most special woman in the world. Because that was what she was to him.
He moved up to the head of the bed and leaned down for a kiss. He wanted her to taste herself, know just how delicious she was. When he thrust her tongue into her mouth, she hummed against her. He felt the vibrations all the way to the soles of his feet.
He felt the bed shift and knew that Alex was going for more of the toys they had bought. If she had turned them down, Damon wasn’t sure what they would have done if she had told them no. They had waited a fair amount of time before the wedding, and when she was free, they had known she needed time. Now, though, they had their lover, and they wanted to play.
Lifting his head, he looked down at Mari. There was a soft glow of sunlight filtering through the curtains allowing him to watch her as she opened her eyes. Damn, the passion there just about did him in then and there.
He wanted to tell her. He wanted her to know what he and Alex wanted, how they needed her, not just for their vacation, but forever. But, as Alex said, she wasn’t ready. He was impatient, almost in a needy way, but he would do as his best friend suggested. He would wait.
“We brought some other toys,” Damon said. Even to his own ears, his voice was hoarse.
Her eyes widened, and she glanced at Alex. He knew the moment she recognized what Alex was holding. A fresh blush stole over her face. He didn’t know if she was embarrassed, they wanted to use the butt plug on her or if she by her desire to do it. He was hoping for the latter.
Alex coated the plug with lube, and Damon said, “Let me have it, you lay down.”
His friend quirked an eyebrow but said nothing. Damon couldn’t explain it. He wanted to be the one to do it. He wanted to feel it ease into her ass for the first time.
He took the plug from Alex and waited for him to settle then he looked down at Mari.
“Babe, you don’t have to do it, but I think you’ll like it.”
She pulled her bottom lip through her teeth, and he wanted to groan right there. She kept shifting her attention from the plug in his hand to his face. Then, she nodded.
He let a sigh of relief escape as did Alex. They would never be able to take her at the same time if they couldn’t prepare her. He was hoping that they would be able to. And soon.
“Mari, babe, why don’t you come here,” Alex said, urging him over him.
She hesitated for just a moment, then did as Alex requested. Once she was settled, Damon moved closer to them.
“You just need to relax.”
She pulled in a deep breath, and then let it go. “It’s hard to do.”
Alex cupped her face and pulled her down for a kiss. “I know, it’s strange and scary, but as Damon said, I think you’ll love it. If you don’t, we can stop.”
He started to kiss her. The sound of their lips moving, their tongues seemed loud in the silent room. Damon skimmed his fingers down her spine and watched them kissing. It was an erotic site in the moonlight with the scent of Hawaii in the air. Even in the room, he could swear he could smell the plumerias. And he would always associate it with Mari.”
He slipped his finger between her ass cheeks and was happy when she didn’t tense. He took a little of the lube from the plug and coated his finger with it. He slipped it into her ass, his entire body focused on the feel of her muscles clamped around his digit. She tenses briefly, but he didn’t look up.
“Calm down, Mari, it will be good. Damon’s just getting you ready for the plug. Take a deep breath and release it.”
He said it in between kisses as Damon reached her sphincter muscle and slowly pushed his finger past the tight ring of muscles. Soon, her tension eased. Next, he knew he needed to put the plug in. Fuck. He wished he didn’t have to do this, take the time. Everything in his body was screaming to thrust his cock deep inside her ass.
But, he didn’t do it. Instea
d, he gently pulled his fingers from her and then position the plug.
“This is going to be a little bit bigger.”
He slipped it in, happy that she didn’t tense up again. Instead, she was moaning as Alex continued to kiss her, his hands moving over her body.
Damon inserted the plug all the way and then moved back. Damn, she had barely noticed, or if she did, she was so into kissing Alex, it didn’t even affect her. Alex drew back.
“She is going to be the death of us.”
She laughed, the sound of it so filled with joy. Damon knew their Mari was back. He was moving up to the head of the bed as Alex grabbed hold of her hips, lifting her off him far enough that he could ease his cock into her. She sighed the sound of it a mixture of fear and pleasure, telling him that she was enjoying the new feeling of having both her holes filled. As Alex started to thrust in and out of her, Damon moved closer to her, taking his cock in his hand as she rose up. He didn’t have to say a word. Mari slipped her hand around his shaft and bent her head. The small cascade of breath moved down his sensitive flesh the moment before her mouth took him in.
She started slowly, barely taking him in her mouth. She swiped her tongue up and down the length of him, teasing the tip of his penis. Then, she moved her hand to his balls, caressing them as she continued to take him in and out of her mouth. She hummed as he started thrusting harder and harder into the wet, hot pleasure of her mouth. He lost control a moment later, pushing so hard he bumped the back of her throat. She paid no attention to that, moving her hand back to his shaft and using it to pump his cock. He vaguely heard Alex shout her name, but Damon barely registered it. Instead, he was lost in the pleasure of having those hot, sexy lips wrapped around his dick.
She shuddered and moaned against his cock, telling him that Alex brought her to another orgasm. He looked down at her and found her looking up at him with those mermaid eyes of hers, and he lost it. With a shout, he thrust into her mouth one more time and lost himself, pouring his seed into her, enjoying the idea it was sliding down her throat. And she kept it up, pumping in him through his orgasm, then lapping at his cock to clean off all the cum.
Moments later, he collapsed on the mattress beside her as she slipped off Alex. She kissed Alex first, a long, tongue-tangling kiss—he was sure of it—then turned her attention to him.
“Thank you,” she said to both of them when she pulled back.
He knew the gratitude was for me and he did really want to press her what it was for. Instead, he heeded the words of Alex once again, cupped Mari’s face. “No, thank you.” She gave him a smile and glanced at Alex. Then, she snuggled down between them.
“Now, leave me alone. I want to sleep.”
Both men chuckled and obeyed her command.
Chapter Seven
The next morning, they were driving around the island. Sun shined down on Alex’s back as Damon whipped around an older compact car. He never thought he’d go for Hawaii. Sure, it was beautiful, but he had always felt that it wouldn’t be something that would pull him in. But, there was a hum beneath his skin that seemed to start the moment he stepped off the plane.
“If you take H-2, we can head up to the pineapple fields and the North Shore.”
He watched Maribelle as she gave Damon more directions. God, she looked good. Better than good. She seemed to be in her element. Her skin was golden from the month she had spent there, and he couldn’t remember her ever smiling this much. Well, at least not since she’d been engaged to Aaron. She laughed and shook her head, her hair flowing behind her. This was the Mari he knew from years earlier. The one before she had been engaged. Although she seemed lighter than he ever remembered.
“What’s there up in the pineapple fields?”
She turned to look at him, a small smile curving her lips and he felt it all the way to his toes. She held back the hair whipping around her face. “Lots of things. The North Shore, for one. I love Sunset Beach, but we can follow the road through Haleiwa. That leads to several places they’ve shot movies, including Jurassic Park. It has become one of my favorite parts of the island.”
“You’ve gotten to know the island well in a short amount of time.”
Her smile widened, and he could imagine her blue eyes dancing behind the lenses. “It helps when one of your best friends has a couple of husbands who lived here most of their lives. Their whole family has been wonderful. Including their cousin. He took me out and taught me out to surf.”
“He?” Damon asked. “Is this an old guy or a young guy we’re talking about?”
Alex could hear the thread of jealousy in his friend’s voice and he understood. Mari had no idea just how sexy she was. Years of being involved with assholes like Aaron had made her think that men weren’t that interested in her, but they were. He’d seen her when she stopped by the firehouse a few times and all the guys vied for her attention. Of course, being the way Mari was, she always thought it was her cookies she brought by. She didn’t even see that most of them just wanted her attention.
“Younger, by a few years than you or me, or even Alex. He’s training to be one of the tour guides they have at their new resort, so I was a trial run.”
Damon took the exit to H-2, and they started the climb in elevation.
“He even took me to some of the locations in the first season of Hawaii 5-0. I really would like to hit one of the locations where they are shooting before I have to go back.”
He heard it there in her voice, the way it dipped, and he knew she didn’t want to go back to DC. Hell, she had been in Hawaii for two months. Both he and Damon had been convinced she wasn’t ever coming back.
“I bet you’re mom will be happy.”
She shrugged and looked away out the window. “I guess. She’s still upset with me.”
Anger whipped through him. Mari had never stood up for herself until that day of the wedding.
“Did she expect you to marry the cheating bastard?” Damon asked. He heard a reflection of his own anger in his best friend’s voice.
“No, not really.” Mari shrugged again. “It was more than I did it at an unseemly time.”
Alex didn’t say anything because he was ready to explode. The fact that her mother thought fit to blame her for what happened was about par for the course. The woman never did understand Maribelle, and she never showed her much affection. He didn’t want to say she was a bad mother, but what mother would say things like that? In his mind, a bad mother.
“But I have to decide what I want to do. I’m really not interested in working for the hotel anymore. I don’t really need a job.”
There was a hint of something in her voice, something that had panic tickling the back of his throat.
“You wouldn’t leave DC, would you?” he asked as he caught the worried look from Damon in the rearview mirror.
“I don’t think so, but I really like Hawaii. I never thought I would because you know me, I have to have my seasons, but there’s something to be said for spending Christmas at the beach, ya know?”
He wanted to tell her very loudly that she couldn’t go, that if she left, he would freak out. But Alex knew she wasn’t ready for that.
“You’re family must have been pissed that you spent Christmas in Hawaii,” Damon commented.
She shook her head. “They were kind of upset I wasn’t going to Germany to see my cousin Brett and his wife. The whole family is there, but, I just didn’t feel like it. I couldn’t bring myself to leave here. I just didn’t feel right.”
“But you wouldn’t like living here, would you?” Damon asked, calmer than Alex could. His palms were sweating at the thought of her leaving.
“I don’t know. You know how I feel about bugs, right? But for some reason here, I’m just used to them. Plus, you’ve only been here a day. There is nothing to describe what it is like to wake up every morning and see that sunrise. I mean, lord, who could say no to something like the sun peeking over the mountains, the sound of birds in the air, and t
hat saltwater taste in the air?”
No one, he thought, except he thought, Mari. She had always loved snow, loved to get out in it, play, then come in and make homemade hot chocolate. But here she was, talking about Hawaii like she wanted to be here for the rest of her life. That was just unacceptable.
He shared another look with Damon in the mirror. At least there, he knew there was an agreement. Neither of them was going to let her stay in Hawaii without a fight.
Maribelle was having a tough time concentrating on the book she was reading. No heterosexual woman would be able to focus sitting between Damon and Alex, that was for sure. They had been quiet since the ride up H-2 and now at the beach. Very odd for them. Was it that she was coming back to DC? Did they think she was staying here, so they felt it okay to do the things they did the night before?
She had heard rumors of their sexual exploits for years, but she had never really guessed it was true. OF course, once again, she had been proven wrong. But, even though they had apparently shared women, they had never kept one around long. In fact, in all the years she had known the two men, she had always thought their relationship was more important to them than their threesomes.
Alex stood. “I’m going to go in and cool off.”
He said nothing else as he sauntered toward the waves. She watched him go trying to figure out his strange mood. Both men had been beyond moody.
“It’s hard to just hang out on the beach with you dressed like that,” Damon said, reading her mind as usual.
She looked at him and couldn’t help the way her heart did the little jump at the sight of him. He was gorgeous. There was no way around it. Sculpted muscles, that strong jaw. She wished she could see his eyes because she could tell what he was thinking, but he kept them hidden behind his mirror sunglasses.
