Tomorrow's Too Late (Sniper 1 Security, 3)

by Nicole Edwards

  Back when they’d been together the first time … when Hunter had brought Josh into their relationship … Dani had been with Josh to appease Hunter. However, with Kye … she felt different about Kye. She cared about him, but she also wanted him. In a way she’d never wanted Josh.

  Although they’d only had a short time together at the beach, Dani had fallen for the man. And though she understood why he had lied to her about his name and occupation, she knew he hadn’t lied about himself. She had felt it when they made love. He had been honest with her then.

  During their trip back from the safe house, they had talked as much as they could with two agents sitting in the backseat. They hadn’t gone deep into the conversation the way she’d wanted to, but Kye had admitted enough. Unlike Hunter, Kye opened up to her, shared his past, his feelings. And he had held her hand the entire way, making her feel safe and protected. It had done something to her, made her worry that what she wanted couldn’t possibly be allowed.

  Because Dani wanted both of them.

  “What is it?” Hunter asked when he pulled his mouth from hers.

  She was panting, hating that he broke the kiss, knowing she had to tell him the truth. Dani refused to lie to him ever again. Although she had no idea what tomorrow might bring, she knew she would not go forward without being completely honest with Hunter. He deserved at least that much from her.

  “Kye,” she said softly.

  “What about him?”

  She stared into Hunter’s beautiful eyes. “I want him.”

  Dani expected to see confusion, but instead, she saw nothing but pure passion.

  “You want me to share you with him?”

  Dani shook her head because it was far more complicated than that. “No. I want to share him with you. I want to share you with him.”

  She couldn’t explain what had happened, how she’d come to feel so strongly about Kye in such a short amount of time. Perhaps it was like that movie Speed. The one with Sandra Bullock. She had fallen in love with the man who saved her.

  It could be that, but Dani didn’t think so. She wasn’t prone to falling in love. And she couldn’t say what she felt for Kye was love for certain, but it was something.

  “You care about him?” Hunter asked.

  “Yes. And before you ask, I can’t explain it. Nor do I want to. But I’m torn.”

  Dani inhaled sharply when a warm body pressed up against her back. Rough stubble grazed her cheek.

  “Don’t be,” Kye whispered. “We’re both right here.”

  Her stomach flipped as the two men sandwiched her between them.

  Kye’s lips trailed over her neck as Hunter stared back at them. She couldn’t tell what he was thinking, and she nearly panicked when he took a single step back. However, she didn’t have time, because Kye turned her so that she was in his arms. And suddenly, his mouth was on hers.

  She moaned softly as she gave in to her desires. His kiss was so different than Hunter’s, but equally enthralling. Dani threw her arms around him, holding him as close as she could while she stood on her tiptoes, trying to get closer. His hair was wet from his shower but just as soft as she remembered.

  When Hunter’s warm body pressed up against her back, she felt whole once more. She dropped one arm from around Kye’s neck and curled it around Hunter’s when he leaned down and pressed his lips to her neck.

  Damn, this felt good. The two of them holding her, kissing her, touching her.

  She almost let herself get lost in them, but she knew she had to clarify one more thing before she could allow this to continue. After relishing the moment for a few seconds longer, Dani finally managed to pull her mouth from Kye’s.

  “I won’t move forward unless the two of you are willing,” she told them. “I know you’ve got issues between you…” She didn’t know what they were, but she knew something had happened, and the two of them had to get back on solid ground or this would never work.

  The absolute last thing she wanted was to be played by both of them.

  Kye stood to his full height, staring at Hunter over her head. Dani shifted, moving out from between them, never looking away. They remained like that for several seconds, staring but not speaking.

  Kye was the first to break the awkward silence. “First of all, I won’t apologize for what happened between me and Dani. That wasn’t about you.”

  Hunter nodded. “I know.”

  “Secondly, I won’t let you use me anymore.”

  Well, that seemed to sum up what their issues were.

  Dani glanced at Hunter.

  “I never used you,” Hunter said, his voice pitched low.

  Kye shook his head, looking slightly disappointed. “Keep lying to yourself, Hunter. But until you can be honest with me”—Kye glanced over at Dani, then back to Hunter—“I can’t do this.”

  When he turned to walk away, Dani wanted to reach for him, but Hunter beat her to it. Kye paused, facing away from Hunter.

  “Fine. You’re right,” Hunter stated gruffly. “I used you. The same as you used me.”

  Kye didn’t turn around, nor did he deny Hunter’s accusation.

  “In the beginning,” Hunter added. “But when you walked away, I wasn’t using you then. I was…scared.”

  Dani watched as Kye’s shoulders tensed. Her heart constricted at the honesty she heard in Hunter’s voice.

  “I care about you, Kye.”

  Dani could tell it had taken a tremendous amount of effort for Hunter to admit that.

  Kye pivoted to face Hunter. “You realize that’s the most honest thing you’ve ever said to me? In all the time I’ve known you?”

  “I’m not big on talking,” Hunter admitted.

  Kye smirked. “Yeah. That’s something I do know.”

  Dani felt slightly awkward being a bystander to their conversation, but she couldn’t look away. The way these two men looked at one another … Hunter more than cared about Kye. And vice versa. Whatever they once had, it was deeper than mere longing or lust.

  In fact, she’d go so far as to say it was definitely love.

  She watched as Hunter lifted his hand, reaching for Kye. His fingers curled behind Kye’s neck and he pulled him closer. It was a little strange to see. Kye appeared to be the more dominant one. Well, if looks had anything to do with it. He was so much bigger than Hunter, yet it was obvious Hunter held the reins when they were together.

  The kiss that ensued practically incinerated the room. Dani got warm just watching them. Two rough, powerful men pawing at one another as their mouths ground together was definitely doing something for her.

  But then they stopped.

  Two sets of eyes turned toward her.

  “Is that enough emotional shit for now?” Hunter asked.

  Dani nodded, unable to find words.

  “Good. Because I’ve got a helluva lot of time to make up for.”

  KYE DIDN’T BOTHER TO LET on that he’d heard the majority of their conversation. Especially the part where Hunter had admitted he had more feelings for him than he had for Josh. As for what that meant, he wasn’t sure. Kye still didn’t understand exactly what sort of relationship Hunter’d had with Josh.

  Regardless, Hunter’s admission had been unexpected but not unwelcome.

  Still, Kye knew that this was going to be an uphill battle with Hunter all the way. If and when the man ever opened up, Kye would be shocked. But as much as he wanted to hold back to simply protect himself emotionally, he knew he couldn’t. Mainly because he’d heard Dani’s confession loud and clear.

  Just like her, he didn’t know what it was between them, but there were definitely feelings there. It required some exploration, there was no doubt about it.

  And now that they’d cleared the air, he wanted to get his mouth on her again. Kissing that woman … he hadn’t expected it. Well, that wasn’t entirely true. The kiss he had expected, but how it made him feel, he hadn’t. It was just as potent now as it had been the first time at the beach
.

  Perhaps his mother was right. She had always told him that when he met the person he was supposed to spend the rest of his life with, he would know it. There would be no questioning it, no trying to make it work. It would simply be. He honestly hadn’t expected that he would ever find the two people, though.

  Kye knew that Dani and Hunter were it for him. He belonged with them and they belonged with him. As for how things would turn out, that was anyone’s guess, but Kye had never been the type to hold back due to fear.

  “What’re you waitin’ for, Sterling?”

  He peered down at the sassy woman who’d asked the question and smiled.

  “You don’t have to tell me twice.” In two steps, he was in front of her. And in one quick motion, he had lifted her off the ground. “Put your legs around me, doll face, then put your mouth on mine.”

  Dani’s smile was pure heaven. He loved to see her smile.

  However, he loved to feel her kiss more, so when her lips fused to his, he spun around and carried her toward Hunter’s bedroom. He could hear Hunter right behind them.

  Unable to resist, Kye laid her out on the bed and crawled over her, all while his tongue danced alongside hers. The woman felt so damn good against him, all soft and warm. And she kissed him as though they’d been lovers for eternity.

  “You have on too many clothes,” she whispered when she pulled back.

  Kye grinned down at her. “You’re one to talk.”

  Obviously Dani was in a hurry because she was already pulling Kye’s T-shirt up. He didn’t stop her, allowing her to remove it.

  “And you, too,” she told Hunter.

  Kye dropped to Dani’s side, shifting so he could see Hunter. The man was standing at the end of the bed, seemingly content to watch them.

  He didn’t need to be told twice, either, because Hunter quickly shed his shirt, then reached for Dani’s ankles, jerking her toward him. She giggled when he reached for the waistband of her shorts. Before he pulled them down, he met her gaze, his eyes heated yet serious.

  “You sure this is what you want?”

  She nodded. “It’s the only thing I want.”

  Hunter relieved her of her shorts while Dani pulled her T-shirt over her head, tossing it at Kye. It landed in his face, making him laugh.

  “You’re a feisty one, aren’t ya?”

  “Oh, you have no idea,” Hunter said gruffly.

  When the three of them were finally naked, Hunter joined them on the bed. Kye had been in situations such as this one, but never had it felt quite so right. There was no awkwardness, no confusion. Hands began wandering. Dani’s. Hunter’s. His. The three of them touched and fondled, mouths shifting and moving together until the room had heated several degrees.

  “You make me crazy, baby,” Hunter whispered to Dani. “As much as I want to take my time … it’s been too fucking long.”

  Kye was curious how long it had been for Hunter. The last time they’d been together was four months ago. That was the last time Kye had been with anyone until Dani a few short days ago.

  Hunter’s gaze lifted to his. “Not since you,” he said softly, as though reading Kye’s mind.

  “Only Dani,” Kye admitted.

  Dani chuckled. “I’ll do you both one better.”

  Both of them turned to look at her.

  “Until Kye, I haven’t been with anyone since you. And before you, I’d never been with anyone else.”

  Holy fuck. Until the other night, the woman hadn’t been with anyone in … shit. Five years? Six? A long time. Damn. No wonder she was practically smoldering.

  Granted, based on Hunter’s wide eyes, Dani’s admission meant something else entirely to him. She’d been a virgin when they met.

  “Please tell me someone’s got condoms,” Dani stated, glancing between them.

  Kye flew up off the bed and headed for the bathroom, where he’d left his bag. He retrieved the box they’d purchased yesterday before returning. He found Hunter lying on the bed, Dani straddling him as they kissed. Kye could’ve stood there all day and watched them. Naked, grinding. Hell, his cock was so fucking hard he could hardly stand it.

  “How do you want this to go?” Hunter asked Dani.

  She didn’t hesitate with her answer. “I want you both to fuck me.”

  Kye’s eyes went wide.

  She giggled. “But not at the same time.” Her head swiveled toward him. “Not yet, anyway.”

  Yeah. If the woman had only had sex a couple of times in the past five years, Kye knew there was no way she could handle double penetration. Not until they prepared her, anyway.

  “I don’t think any of us can hold out. Not this time,” Hunter said, flipping Dani off of him before launching to his feet. He pointed toward the bed. “You. There. Now.”

  Curious as to where Hunter was going with this, Kye joined Dani on the bed. His hands immediately sought her smooth, warm skin as he relaxed onto his back.

  “Put the condom on him,” Hunter instructed. “And I want to watch.”

  The foreplay was minimal, but Kye didn’t mind. They would have plenty of time later. Right now, he was so damn close to coming, it was a wonder he didn’t shoot his load when Dani’s soft hands glided over his shaft.

  “Fuck,” he hissed, watching as she rolled the rubber over his dick. “You’re killin’ me.”

  “We can’t have that, now can we?” Dani straddled his hips, leaned down and pressed her lips to his.

  Kye got lost in her kiss, moaning when she took him in hand and guided his cock to the slick, warm entrance to her body. He broke the kiss when she sank down on him, her body sheathing him tightly.

  She was heaven.

  “I’m not gonna last,” he admitted, glancing over at Hunter. “I suggest you join us or you’ll be left behind.”

  Hunter produced a bottle of lubricant from the nightstand, then crawled onto the bed between Kye’s legs.

  Ah, hell. Kye knew where this was headed.

  “Lean forward, baby,” Hunter whispered to Dani. “I want you right between us.”

  She shifted forward, keeping Kye’s cock deeply lodged in her pussy. Dani was still moving, rocking back and forth on his dick, making his breaths race in and out of his lungs while her breasts crushed against his chest.

  “You feel so good,” Kye told her, cupping her face. “So damn good.”

  “I think Hunter’s about to make you feel better.”

  When Hunter forced Kye’s legs back, it shifted Dani again, but she remained where she was, impaled on his cock.

  “Hold his legs, Dani,” Hunter urged.

  Dani moved again, wrapping her arms behind his knees and holding his legs back. He was practically folded in half and he didn’t care because the sexiest woman on the planet was impaled on his dick.

  Hunter’s thighs brushed against his ass.

  Kye knew what was coming and he was eager to feel Hunter inside him, filling his ass while Dani’s sweet pussy caressed his cock.

  “The next time he fucks you,” Dani whispered, her face pressed into his shoulder, “I get to watch.”

  God, he liked her. In the bedroom, Dani was an entirely different woman. She seemed to shed her inhibitions, knowing exactly what she wanted and living only in that moment. It had been the same way at the condo and he found he missed being with her like this, even if it had only been a couple of days since.

  “Ah, fuck,” Kye groaned when Hunter’s cock pushed in. The man didn’t rush, but he certainly didn’t take his time.

  “Tight,” Hunter growled. “So fucking tight.”

  “Somebody better start moving or I’m gonna come without you both,” Dani teased.

  “It’d be my pleasure,” Hunter said, pushing Dani flat against Kye’s chest as he began thrusting into Kye’s ass.

  Kye grunted, pleasure and pain assaulting him. He was overwhelmed by sensation. Hunter’s movements effectively rocked Dani’s body, the friction from her pussy on his dick making him sweat. He didn
’t want to come yet, but he knew it wouldn’t take long.

  Dani found Kye’s hands and twined their fingers together as she pressed her lips to his neck. Her breath fanned his ear.

  “Let us fuck you, Kye. I need to come.”

  There was nothing he could do. He was impaled on Hunter’s cock and the fucking he was receiving threatened to blow his head off his shoulders.

  At some point, the two of them found a rhythm, fucking Kye in every way imaginable. He held on, his fingers tightening around Dani’s. When he looked up and met Hunter’s gaze, he saw something he’d never seen before.

  Gone was the anger, the rage, the need for revenge. Oh, Hunter still looked lethal, but there was something else.

  “Oh, God,” Dani cried out. “I’m coming.”

  Her pussy squeezed his dick while Hunter continued to ram deep inside his ass and Kye was lost. He tried to hold on but couldn’t.

  He grunted as he came, his eyes locking with Hunter’s, his fingers still twined with Dani’s.

  “Fuck, yes,” Hunter hissed. “Come for us, Kye.”

  Within seconds, Hunter’s hips stopped moving, his cock pulsing as he came.

  And for the first time in Kye’s entire life, he felt as though he was exactly where he was supposed to be.

  HE WALKED THROUGH THE SAFE house without touching anything. They weren’t coming back, he knew it. He’d been so close, too. Just a few feet away when the army of men had descended on the place. It was a good thing he was a patient man, or he would’ve been a dead one. Thankfully, once Max showed up, no one seemed to give a shit that he was hiding in the small wooden shed about twenty yards from the house, waiting for the coast to be clear.

  Unfortunately, he hadn’t heard what had taken place inside the house. He would’ve given anything to be a fly on the wall while Dani gave Max all the sordid details of whatever crisis she was going through now.

  The good thing was, he knew exactly where they were, thanks to the fact those men they’d hired liked to chat like old women. They fully believed Dennis Moroso was the threat to Dani. He liked that they had no clue what was really going on. In fact, he could probably shake Dennis’s hand because the man was a good distraction. Dennis and his hired assassin.
