Caleb headed straight for Jamie’s bathroom and closed the door, but didn’t lock it. He turned on the shower, waiting for the water to heat, and stripped off his jeans, the only piece of clothing he had put on when he had woken up, hearing Jamie’s cries of pleasure.
Jamie knocked on the bathroom door, but he ignored her. He really had made it too easy for Jamie. He gave her whatever she wanted, whenever she needed it. Did she ever stop to think what he wanted? Did she try to get it for him?
He wasn’t surprised when Jamie cracked open the door. The woman couldn’t handle being ignored. She stopped from swinging the door open. It was as if she realized he hadn’t said she could come in. Well, she was learning. He’d give her that.
And for the next four days, he needed to learn how to be greedy. It was time to make demands, create expectations.
Jamie didn’t have to agree or follow them. Knowing her, she would refuse loudly. She didn’t have to do anything but listen. If she didn’t like it, it was no big deal. She was leaving him soon.
He wondered if that was what bothered him so much. For the past few weeks, he had felt like he was slowly being shut out of Jamie’s life. Whether she had done it intentionally or by accident didn’t matter. It was her way of cutting ties.
She poked her head into the bathroom. “Caleb?”
He knew he shouldn’t complain or make a scene. He had wanted to part on a positive note. No, that wasn’t totally true. He had been on his best behavior so she’d invite him along.
Now he knew that was the wrong tactic. She was leaving him in four days, and there was nothing he could do to change her mind. It was time to say goodbye to her. He needed to create some memories and move on.
“Caleb!” Jamie yelled over the sound of the shower.
He turned toward the door, grabbed the doorknob, and swung it open. “What?”
She was as naked as he was. He should have been used to her voluptuous curves and golden skin, but her nudity packed a wallop every time.
His gaze traveled down her body. Jamie loved the size of her breasts, and she had every right to be proud. She was more than a handful, and her large, dark nipples pointed up.
She might curse her hips every time she tried to buy clothes, but he thought she was just right. He could clutch onto her hips when he drove into her pussy or when she rode his cock. He couldn’t get enough of her lush ass.
She had a traditional hourglass figure, although he knew better than to tell her that. It was the perfect shape for a woman, but she refused to believe anything about her was old-fashioned.
“I’m sorry,” she said, her eyes pleading for him to accept her apology. “I really thought you were okay with swapping.”
He ushered her inside the bathroom and closed the door behind her. “I was okay with it.”
“Then what’s your problem?” She gave him a little push, but he didn’t budge. “Damn it, you made me feel so guilty.”
“You should. You left me out.”
She winced when she realized her mistake. “I’m sorry about that. But I needed to prove to Mia and Aidan that I can take whatever Aidan dishes out.”
“Mmmhmm.” He wasn’t buying that excuse.
She draped her arms around his shoulders and curled into him, her breasts rubbing his chest. “I didn’t forget about you.”
He didn’t believe that. Caleb disentangled himself from her arms and stepped into the shower. He tilted his head up and let the warm water course down him.
“I won’t leave you out again,” she said as she watched him. “I promise.”
“Okay.” He couldn’t fix the past, and the promise was all he could hope for. Caleb reached for Jamie and helped her into the shower.
She tilted her head up, allowing the water to spray on her hair and face. Jamie brushed her mouth against his. “Let me make it up to you,” she offered in a purr.
“You will.” He would make certain of that.
Jamie frowned at him as the water beat down her head. “What does that mean?”
“Since we’re swapping, you’ve already told me what Mia wants. And I can tell that you want to retrain Aidan.”
She stepped away and lowered her arms. “How did you know that?”
“It’s obvious. To me,” he hurriedly assured her. “I doubt Aidan has a clue.”
“Whew.” Jamie brushed her wet hair from her face and visibly relaxed.
“But no one asked what I want,” Caleb emphasized.
Jamie slowly closed her eyes and shook her head with regret. “I’ve really messed up with you, haven’t I?” she muttered.
“Not if you know how to fix it.” He’d like to see what she would do to make him happy.
“I’m sorry I was so focused on seeing what Mia would get out of it. I came up with the idea for her. You know I’ll do anything to help her.”
“I know.” Jamie didn’t have many friends or people she could rely on. In fact, it was probably just Mia and him. Maybe Aidan. He wished Jamie would show him the same care and loyalty she did to Mia. Then again, Mia and Jamie had been friends for decades, while he’d known Jamie for less than year.
“Tell me what you want from this swap,” Jamie said.
“You can’t tell?” He wondered what her guess would be. He had a feeling she would be far off the mark.
Jamie grimaced, knowing she was not scoring any brownie points with him. “No, I can’t. Why would you do it? You’ve swapped before, so it’s not a novelty.”
This was the best time to make his request. Jamie wouldn’t deny him. He pressed his mouth against her ear and whispered, “I want to watch you and Mia have sex.”
Jamie’s shocked gasp ricocheted in the shower stall. She jerked back and stared at him. Her eyes were wide, and her mouth was parted in surprise.
She looked . . . vulnerable. He’d never seen Jamie like this before. It was as if he had ripped away a veil and exposed her deepest secret.
He gathered her closely as the water streamed down his back. “Would you do it?”
She shook her head. “Mia is never going to go for that.”
Caleb noticed the way she avoided a direct answer. “But would you do it . . . if I asked?”
She closed her eyes and surrendered to the truth. “Yes . . . but don’t you want something else?” she urged. “Something where all the attention is on you?”
It was a tempting offer, but would she remember how she’d rocked his world? No, because she wouldn’t have risked anything to please him. Jamie might carry along the memory of doing something raunchy or difficult, but as time went by, she’d be hazy on his name and face.
But years from now she would still think of her friend. She’d remember with vivid clarity how they’d spent their last days together, and he’d be a part of those memories.
“I’m all for sharing a bed with you and Mia,” she said as he slicked his hands on Jamie’s hips, “but I don’t think Mia would go for that. Or Aidan.”
“You never know.” He smiled at the gleam in her eye. “You like the idea of having sex with Mia, don’t you?”
Jamie rested her head on his shoulder. “Yes.”
He wrapped his arms around her. “Don’t be shy about it.”
“You don’t understand,” she said, burrowing into him as if that way he wouldn’t see her face. “I can’t explain how I felt when I kissed her.”
“You’ve been with women before,” he reminded her.
Jamie lifted her head. “Mia doesn’t know that, okay?”
That surprised him. “I thought you two shared everything.”
“Almost everything,” she admitted. She reached up and wiped the water from her face.
“Wait.” He tilted his head and stared into Jamie’s eyes. “I know something about you that Mia doesn’t?” He was too pleased by that fact.
“I told you because you asked.”
“And you knew I wouldn’t have a problem with it,” he felt compelled to add.
“Yes,”
she admitted with a sigh. “Mia would have a fit if she knew I got turned on by our kiss.”
“What makes you think she didn’t?” He turned Jamie around until her spine was pressed against his chest. “Did you want her just now?”
Jamie nodded. “But she only held my wrists.”
“You wanted her mouth on you.” He pressed his lips against her neck. “Like this.”
She shuddered against him. Caleb’s cock twitched and hardened in response. He knew how to bring Jamie’s fantasy to life.
“You wanted Mia’s hands to play with your tits.” He grabbed her big breasts, splaying his hands around them before he crushed them together.
“Oh, Caleb,” she moaned as she slapped her hands on the tiled wall in front of her. “What are you doing?”
“Close your eyes,” he told her, darting his tongue in her ear. “Pretend I’m Mia.”
She gasped, and he knew she found his suggestion taboo. “I can’t.”
“You want to.” She should let her imagination run free. It might be the only way she would have her friend.
“I want you, too,” Jamie insisted.
It wasn’t the same. He was a vessel for all of her fantasies. “You already have me. Now close your eyes.” He looked at her face and saw that she was following his suggestion. “Tell me what you want Mia to do,” he said as he roughly massaged her breasts. The shower made it easy for his hands to glide over her smooth, wet skin.
She paused and quickly said, “I don’t know.”
“Yes, you do.” Caleb knew she didn’t trust herself to say it out loud. “Would she do this?” He pinched her nipples, not letting go until he thought she would keel over from the touch.
Jamie’s body shook and she thrust her breasts into his hands. “Harder.”
“She would go harder? Are you sure?” he teased as he squeezed her nipples until she cried out. “She seems like such a nice, sweet girl.”
“Caleb . . .”
“Mia,” he corrected her. “Would she do this?” he asked against her neck as he kissed a trail down her spine. Kneeling on the shower floor, he slid his hands over her stomach and hips before he cupped her ass.
“Yes-s-s.” She rested her arms on the wall in front of her, pushing her ass out so he could knead and squeeze. Jamie’s moans echoed loudly in the shower stall.
He lavished kisses on her buttocks, enjoying the tremors racing through Jamie. He licked her cleft, and she rocked against his tongue.
Caleb couldn’t take it anymore. He stood up and put his hands on her curvy hips. Gripping her tightly, he pressed the crown of his cock against her entrance.
Jamie groaned. “Mia wouldn’t do that.”
Caleb heard Jamie’s smile in her voice. “Yes, she would,” he whispered in her ear as if he was sharing a secret, “because you gave her your dildo.”
The moment she arched her back and groaned, he knew exactly what Jamie was imagining. Little Mia wearing nothing but the black vinyl harness and a purple cock. She would climb on top of Jamie and thrust into her.
Caleb held on to Jamie’s hips and slowly worked his cock into the hot, wet core. Her body shook and trembled as she tried to hold back. He barely moved, and Jamie was already coming.
Her vaginal walls gripped his cock and drew him in deep. His thrusts grew wild as he rubbed his hands over Jamie’s breasts and pussy. He pressed her hard against the wall, pounding into her until his skin slapped hers.
He was worried that he was being too rough, but Jamie didn’t complain. She begged for more, telling him to go faster.
Caleb felt the need inside him grow stronger and stronger. He thrust into her one last time, coming in long, thick spurts, before slumping against the wet tile.
Caleb rested his head on Jamie’s shoulder. “Mia’s a little rough, isn’t she?” he asked.
Jamie laughed, reached up and pressed her hand against his cheek. “But you are perfect.”
“I aim to please,” he said, turning his head to press a kiss on her palm. She had no idea just how much he would sacrifice to give her pleasure. And if he did it right, she never would.
Mia puttered nervously around the kitchen, trying to keep busy. She went to the refrigerator and grabbed a carton of eggs, not quite sure what she was going to make for breakfast. She wasn’t hungry. She couldn’t think of eating as every noise and creak from the attic had her looking up toward the ceiling.
“It’s going to be okay,” Aidan said.
She looked at Aidan who was sitting at the table reading the morning newspaper. He had changed into an extra pair of clothes he kept at the house, and his hair was still wet from a quick shower.
How could he sit there casually like he did every morning? He’d just had sex on that table. Mia knew that she would never be able to look at that piece of furniture without thinking about Jamie, naked and panting for Aidan’s touch.
Mia looked away and cleared her throat. “For all you know, they could be having a knock-down, drag-out fight.” She would put her money on Jamie. No offense to Caleb, but her friend never played by the rules.
“They’re not.” Aidan turned the page.
Mia didn’t understand how he could be so calm while she imagined all the horrible things going on up there. She knew Jamie and Caleb didn’t have a monogamous relationship, but it was different when Jamie was screwing with someone right under Caleb’s nose. “How do you know?”
Aidan looked over the corner of the newspaper. “They’re not arguing,” he simply stated.
Mia stood by the kitchen counter and listened to the silence. Aidan had a point, but she wasn’t going to take it as proof. It was just as likely that Jamie had Caleb in a headlock.
Mia was tempted to check on them, but she remembered what she’d seen the last time she went up there. It would be best if she stayed in the kitchen.
“Jamie can talk her way around anything,” Mia said as she grabbed a bowl from the cabinet, “but I think she has finally pushed her luck too far.”
Aidan looked up from the newspaper when he heard footsteps on the attic stairs. “We’ll soon find out.”
Mia clenched the edge of the countertop when she heard the door to the attic open. She looked over her shoulder just in time to see Jamie and Caleb enter the kitchen.
She searched for any signs of anger or hurt feelings. She didn’t see any as her gaze traveled from their toweled-dry hair to the way Jamie’s T-shirt and shorts clung to her damp skin.
Caleb’s hand rested on Jamie’s hip, and he smiled down at her. Mia started to relax. From their body language, it looked as if Jamie had managed, once again, to talk her way out of trouble. She didn’t know how her friend did it.
“Okay, you guys,” Jamie said as she stepped into the kitchen. “Everyone is on the same page. We all agree to swapping, and it’s going to last for four days.”
“Right.” Aidan said as he folded the newspaper.
“Great,” Mia replied weakly. It was really happening. She wanted this, but she was so nervous she might have to throw up.
Aidan tossed the paper onto the table. “But I have a condition for when Caleb and Mia hook up.”
Jamie’s head snapped back, and she glared at Aidan. “What?”
“It’s okay,” Mia assured her. The more she thought about it, the more she wouldn’t mind Aidan watching over her.
Jamie pressed her hand against Caleb’s chest. “Well, it may not be okay for Caleb.”
Jamie didn’t see the look Caleb gave her, but Mia did and her heart melted. Caleb was pleasantly surprised that Jamie was looking out for his interest. Mia wished Jamie had seen the sweet look on his face, but it was probably for the best. Jamie didn’t do sweet and adorable.
“Aidan wants to be in the room while I’m with Caleb,” Mia told her friend. “Just the first time. It’s no different from what we just did with you.”
“Are you okay with that, Caleb?” Jamie asked, looking up at him and missing his affectionate look.
; “Sure,” Caleb agreed and looked at Mia. “Are you ready?”
“Now?” Her voice cracked as her body went from hot to cold.
“Yeah, now.” He pulled away from Jamie and looked around the room. “Where should we do it?”
She looked wildly around the room. “I don’t know.” She wasn’t that imaginative. Was he going to lay her out on the counter or bend her over the sink? Her knees weakened at the thought.
“Try her bed,” Aidan suggested drily.
“Hey,” Jamie interrupted, “no one said you could interfere.”
“You won’t feel weird about that?” Caleb asked Aidan.
“My ego won’t be dented.”
“Good to know.”
Caleb walked over to Mia, and it took every ounce of her will-power not to back away. Her fingers gripped the countertop as if her life depended on it.
Caleb stood in front of her. He towered over her, surrounding her until she didn’t see or think of anything else. “What do you want to do?” he asked.
“Uh.” What did she want to do? The bed sounded like a good option, but she had no idea what she wanted after that.
Why did she think Caleb would guide her through this? She wanted to try something different and take charge, right? She just didn’t know where to start. Mia gave a panicked look at Aidan.
“I tell you what.” Aidan rose from his seat. “I’ll direct Mia.”
Oooh . . . She kind of liked that idea. A lot. Her pussy warmed as she imagined Aidan instructing her how to suck on Caleb’s cock.
“Oh, I don’t think so,” Jamie said, putting her hands on her hips. “This is Caleb and Mia’s time.”
“It’s okay, Jamie,” Mia assured her. She didn’t want Aidan to take away his offer. “I like this idea. It’s sounds interesting.”
Jamie scrunched her nose in disbelief. “Really?”
Mia nodded her head and gnawed her bottom lip, slightly embarrassed. Someone as sexy and brazen as Jamie wouldn’t understand. Would Caleb? Mia cast him a questioning look.
