A Little Harmless Scandal

by Melissa Schroeder

  Once she’d stepped into that arena, she had picked two men. Good God, her last shrink was right. She set herself up for failure every time. How was this even supposed to work? And, all of her reasons for doing it had flown out the window just because they made her hot.

  She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. It was hard to feel badly about the sex, but a relationship was out of the question. She lived right next door. When it ended--and all of her relationships did--it would be awkward.

  She sat up and looked around the room. She didn't want to get dressed back into her clothes. If she was going to have only one night with these men, she wanted to stay naked as much as possible.

  She spotted a blue dress shirt. Slipping out of bed, she grabbed it and headed to the bathroom.

  After turning on the light, she stared at herself in the mirror. Jesus. She had whisker burn all over her body, little splotches of red that revealed to her every part of her body they had kissed, licked, and tasted.

  She shivered. Just the memory of the lovemaking had her body revving up for another round. God, what was she going to do? They tempted her into believing they could just play and have fun. But consequences always came with daylight, and she knew in the morning it would be hard to pretend this was about having fun. It was most definitely that, but she was already growing attached. Hell, she had been growing attached since they showed up at her door begging for more bread. They were just so sweet and adorable. She smiled thinking about how Adam didn’t like to be called sweet.

  Her smile faded. Dammit, she was already attached. Worse, they didn’t need her. They were a couple who had been together for years. They had each other.

  With a sigh, she set the shirt on the counter. After relieving herself, she slipped the shirt on and went in search of the guys.

  She heard the rumble of male voices in the kitchen and followed the sound. She knew it was wrong, but she stood just out of sight so she could hear the conversation.

  “Come on, Mick. You know women don't go for that kind of thing. They don't want to be a third in a relationship. Especially with two guys who have been committed to each other as long as we have.”

  She frowned. It wasn’t something she thought of, at least not until recently, but she knew Adam was right. Most women didn’t want to be a third wheel. They liked to be the center of attention. Although, last night, she was exactly that. Having two men focus just on her was something that she had never had and, dammit, it was exhilarating. It was also addicting, which might be an issue.

  “But if she wanted to, you would be open to it?” Mick asked.

  There was no noise, but from Mick's next response, Serenity assumed that Adam nodded.

  “See.”

  “There is no see. We also have another side to our bed play with women. You haven't even approached her about that.”

  Another side?

  “Come on. You saw her last night. She liked being told what to do. She kneeled on the bed without having to be ordered. Fucking sexy.”

  “We still have to talk to her about it.”

  “It isn't something you can slip into casual conversation,” Mick said.

  “That never stopped you before.”

  Mick snorted. “We’ll never know unless we ask.

  “True, but if you ask too early, we might frighten her off.”

  Adam was talking about her like she was a little scaredy cat. She had heard enough. She stepped into the kitchen. They were sitting at the counter, each had a cup of coffee in front of them.

  Neither of them noticed her to begin with, and she was glad for it. It gave her time to look them over. Both were wearing jean shorts and nothing else. In fact, she was sure Mick’s shorts weren’t even buttoned.

  As Adam moved, she watched the ripple of muscle in his back and had to bite back a sigh. Mick wasn’t any better. He stretched his hands over his head. Oh, God. How did she land these two men? They were gorgeous and hot and amazing in bed. And she knew for a fact they had only shown her just a peek of what they could do.

  “I say we ask her and get it over with,” Mick said.

  Adam opened his mouth to answer, but she decided it was better to face this head on.

  “Just what is it that you want to ask me?”

  Chapter Twelve

  Adam glanced over at Serenity and sighed. She looked as if she had been well loved. Her hair was a rumbled mess of curls spilling over her shoulders. She had whisker burn on her neck. And, she was wearing one of his shirts. She was damned adorable even as she eyed them both suspiciously.

  “Well?”

  He looked at Mick and, of course, his lover had lost his ability to speak. Anytime there was a confrontation in a personal relationship, Mick wanted to smooth it over. If he couldn’t, he shut down.

  He turned back to Serenity.

  “Why don’t you have a seat and I’ll get you something to drink,” Adam suggested.

  “Coffee, with cream.”

  He nodded and went about the task. She sat at the bar. He set the coffee mug in front of her.

  “So?”

  “Drink. If we are going to talk about this, I want you awake.”

  “If not, the discussion might just wake you up,” Mick muttered. He was the one who pushed this so fast and now he was complaining? Typical Mick.

  “Go ahead. Give me the sell,” she said. She didn’t look as wary now, but there was a guarded quality to her words. It was the false bravado that hit him. He had an idea that as a former child actor, Serenity knew just how to handle a situation like this.

  “You know we’ve been together for a while.”

  She nodded.

  “We also play.”

  She cocked her head and studied him for a long minute. Then, she straightened her head to take another sip.

  “Play at what?”

  He glanced at Mick again, who apparently was overly interested in what was in his coffee cup.

  “When we are with women, we like to engage in bondage and submission.”

  She said nothing as she took another sip of coffee.

  He glanced at Mick, who was now paying attention.

  “And?” she asked.

  “It’s that…

  Why was he having a hard time coming up with an explanation for her? Before, it had never been a problem. Lay it out on the line, and if the woman wasn’t interested, no big deal. This time, it seemed more important. He had to word it just right, or he would scare her off.

  “Yes? Wait, you expected me to be freaked out?”

  He nodded. She burst out laughing.

  “What’s so funny?” Mick asked.

  “Sorry. You two really didn’t hear all the stories about my wild and crazy teenage years, did you?”

  They both shook their heads.

  “Amazing.” She smiled. “Truly amazing, but it doesn’t shock me. Remember, I brought that box over and it was from a very well-known supplier of BDSM toys. I had a feeling, although it was hard for me to think that either of you would be the sub.”

  Mick snorted.

  “No. We aren’t subs, although we tend to have one lead when it comes to the play.”

  “So, when you’re with a woman you like to do that, but you didn’t try last night. Not that I’m complaining, but why?”

  “Why?”

  “Yeah, you didn’t try. With me.”

  Feeling more at ease now, he grabbed his coffee and sat on the stool next to hers.

  “We would never spring that on you like that. If you have been in the life, then we wouldn’t have a problem with it.”

  “So, responsible deviants? Oh, don’t look like that, Mick. I’m joking. Remember, I grew up in Hollywood. I was one step away from being sold on the street.”

  “What?”

  “What I mean is that my mother lived off me from the time I was five. It isn’t that much different than selling your soul, only that you have a choice. And, as a child, I saw a lot of things I shouldn’t have seen. No chil
d should. Hell, most adults shouldn’t. I am your typical hippy California chick. Live and let live. But, I don’t know that much about BDSM or the rules. There are rules, right?”

  “Yeah, but we,” he said motioning among the three of them, “make up the rules.”

  She slanted him a look and her mouth curved. “I don’t particularly like rules.”

  “Oh, I have a feeling she’s challenging us,” Mick said, excitement filling his voice.

  “Hold on. I don’t know enough about it, and I want to learn. So, are there good websites for me to look at?”

  “How about a trip to Rough ‘n Ready?” Adam asked.

  “That’s brilliant,” Mick said.

  “Uh, what’s Rough ‘n Ready?”

  “A BDSM club in Honolulu,” Adam said.

  “And they have a satellite on the North Shore, but I prefer the original,” Mick said. “I’m sure we can get a guest pass from Ross.”

  “Ross?” She rolled her eyes. “Geez, I sound like a parrot.”

  Adam smiled. “You have to learn Mick speak. When he gets excited, he jumps from topic to topic.”

  “Yeah, I’ve noticed.”

  “We can go tonight,” Mick said. The moment he did, there was a flash of panic in her expression before she quickly hid it. Adam forgot that before becoming a photographer, she’d made a living at acting.

  “Hey, slow down. We just sprung it on her. I think we need a little time to get used to this.”

  She gave him a grateful look. “It’s intriguing but let me think about it. I’m still getting used to the idea that you two want to keep me around past last night.”

  He knew from the tone of her voice that she wasn’t kidding. Adam rose from the stool, then spun her around to face him. Caging her in by placing his hands on the counter behind her, he leaned in and brushed his mouth over hers. Neither of them closed their eyes.

  “Fuck,” Mick said. “That’s fucking sexy.”

  When Adam pulled back, he leaned over to Mick and kissed him.

  “Now that’s sexy,” she said with a laugh.

  They both turned to her and she didn’t hesitate. Just as Adam had, she leaned forward and kissed Mick, sucking on his tongue before moving away.

  “Be right back,” Mick said as he made his way to the bedroom.

  “Should we join him?” she asked.

  Adam shook his head but said nothing else. Instead, he leaned forward and pulled her bottom lip into his mouth and sucked. She closed her eyes and shuddered.

  “You two know exactly what to do to push my buttons.”

  He cocked his head to the side and studied her. “Other men didn’t?”

  “Maybe it’s because it’s both of you, sort of the yin and yang of it.”

  Mick returned with a couple of condom packages and tossed them on the counter. Adam stepped aside and let Mick take his place. Mick took her by the waist and picked her up, dropping her on the counter.

  “I’m ready for a tasty morsel,” Mick said. He squatted in front of her and without hesitation, he set his mouth on her pussy. Damn.

  Serenity let loose a long, loud moan as she let her head fall back. Adam knew there were a few toys they could play with, even if she hadn’t agreed to submit, yet. He went to the bedroom and opened the drawer where he knew Mick had put the toys. He’d washed them all in anticipation of getting her in bed. He grabbed the vibrator and headed back to the kitchen. When he returned, Mick had upped his game, adding a finger. Serenity was shivering, her need to come so easy to see.

  Adam didn’t say anything. He just turned on the vibrator. Mick pulled back and smiled at him.

  “I like your thinking.”

  Adam stepped up and pressed the head of the vibrator against her clit. Mick continued to finger her, adding another finger.

  “I want to see you come over and over.”

  She opened her mouth, her eyes still closed. Adam turned the speed up, pressed harder against her clit. She came apart. With a shout, she convulsed her orgasm sweeping through her.

  “Oh, God,” Adam said. The reverence in Mick’s voice was easy to understand. She was fucking beautiful when she came. When she came down, he upped the speed once more and sent her hurdling over into another orgasm.

  This time when she recovered, he moved the vibrator away from her pussy. She opened her eyes.

  “You are responsive.”

  She shook her head. “Never have been before. Like I said, you both just know what buttons to push.”

  “Hmm,” Mick said as he started to unbutton the shirt.

  She removed it and set it on the counter behind her. Mick didn’t hesitate. He leaned forward and took a nipple into his mouth. Adam joined him. It didn’t take long before she was squirming again on the counter. He scraped his teeth over the tip and she gasped.

  He pulled back and gave her nipple a pinch.

  “Our girl likes a little pain with pleasure,” he said to Mick.

  “Well, why don’t we go for pleasure for right now.”

  “I really don’t like when you talk about me like that.”

  Adam turned to her. She was lying. It was a turn on.

  “Really?” He pressed his hand against her pussy, slipping two fingers into her. “I think you like it a lot.”

  Mick hummed as he undid his jeans and slipped them off. He was hard, a drop of precum wetting the head of his cock. He bent over and slipped Adam’s cock into his mouth for a couple of pumps. The sweet, salty taste of his cum danced over his taste buds.

  “Oh, there is something else our girl likes,” Mick said, gesturing with his head toward Serenity.

  Her face flushed again. “Yeah, I liked that a lot.”

  “Duly noted, for later,” Adam said as he moved away. He undressed as fast as he could, then he grabbed the condoms, tossing one to Mick.

  “Wait,” she said.

  He offered her a smile. “Not at once, but just in case we both want to feel our tight, little pussy, best to be prepared.”

  Since he’d already had the honor, he let Mick take control. Mick pulled her to the edge of the counter. He entered her in one hard thrust. She gasped, then moaned as he started to move. He lifted her legs to his hips and started to fuck her harder.

  Adam stepped closer and skimmed his hand down Mick’s back to his ass. As he continued to thrust in and out of Serenity, Adam slipped a finger into Mick’s ass.

  “Oh, shit, yeah,” Mick muttered. The sound of slapping skin filled the kitchen and after a while, Adam couldn’t hold back.

  Adam removed his finger and stepped up behind Mick. Mick stopped moving.

  “Lay back, babe,” Mick said. When Serenity did, he leaned over a little to give Adam a better position.

  Adam settled his hands on Mick’s hips, as he pressed his cock inside of his ass. When Adam was fully seated inside of him, Mick started to move again.

  Together they worked a rhythm. Serenity moaned as they started to speed up.

  “That’s it, babe. I want you to come again. I want to feel all those muscles on my cock, pulling me deeper into your pussy.”

  Adam slowed down so he could peek over Mick’s shoulder.

  “Damn, she’s pretty. Her gorgeous breasts just bouncing every time you thrust into her.”

  “Yeah,” Mick said. “But this…”

  He pressed his thumb against her clit and she came again, arching up against Mick. This time she screamed again.

  “Oh, damn,” he said as he increased the speed of his thrusts again. Mick and he continued, then Mick thrust into Serenity one more time, groaning. That sound pulled Adam’s orgasm from him. It surprised him at the force of it. He shouted as he thrust harder and faster. He finally gave himself over to the pleasure.

  When he recovered, he realized he had collapsed onto Mick, who had collapsed onto Serenity. She was holding the weight of two men. It took all his strength to push himself up and then pull out of Mick.

  “Mick.”

  “Hmm,” is
all he said as he wrapped his mouth around one of Serenity’s nipples.

  “Hey, you’re too heavy, get up.”

  With a sigh, he pushed himself up and gave Adam a dirty look.

  “Oh, don’t be mad. We need to shower,” he said wiggling his eyebrows.

  Mick smiled, then he picked up Serenity, who had been dozing on the counter apparently. He lifted her up and over his shoulder.

  “Wait, what?” she asked.

  “Shower time,” Mick said as he headed back to their room.

  She lifted her head up and looked at Adam. “Shower time?”

  “You’ll love it, believe me.”

  He definitely wouldn’t mind starting more days just as they had today.

  Chapter Thirteen

  They gorged themselves on pancakes and Portuguese sausage later that morning. Serenity had never been one to shy away from food, but she hadn’t eaten this much in a long time. Of course, she hadn’t had hot monkey sex with two guys before either. If they kept at it this way, she would need to up her game. For that, she needed fuel.

  “What are your plans for today?” Adam asked as he pushed his plate away.

  “Not sure. I was thinking about doing a play day for shoots at the beach.”

  “A play day?”

  She shrugged. “I work, but mostly I enjoy the fact that I live in Hawaii. Just veg out at the beach. Do you two have to work?”

  Adam shook his head, but it was Mick who answered.

  “We normally work only four days a week, unless we get a job that pays better.”

  “It’s actually a great day for a ride,” Adam said.

  She had seen them go out on their Harleys once or twice, but it hadn’t been that often. They had hit the rainy season.

  “Yeah. Have you ever ridden around the island on a bike?” Mick asked.

  She shook her head.

  “Then we must do that,” Mick said. “We could pick a beach and just go there for the day.”

  “Mick.”

  “What?”

  Adam shook his head, but she didn’t get the communication.

  “Listen, if you two want to be alone, then just say so. Won’t hurt my feelings.”
