She pulled out of Chad’s embrace and sat on the edge of the sofa. “We need to talk about this. How is this supposed to work? What happens if I’m with only one of you? Are we talking about taking turns, or it is your intention that all three of us have sex together?”
She almost laughed at the looks on their faces. They were a cross between surprise and confusion. “That’s not what I meant. I know you two aren’t sexually involved with each other. What I mean is, are you saying you want to share me, as in at the same time? And would I still have time with each of you separately if we did that?”
Annalise held her breath as she watched them glance at each other. It was like they were speaking without words, and she had a sudden flash of jealousy at their obvious close friendship. She and Jim had never had a bond like that, even though they’d known each other since they’d been teens. What was it like to feel that close to another person?
“Well,” said Chad finally, “I can’t speak for Dustin, but I wouldn’t have a problem sharing you with him at the same time.”
Dustin sighed. “I won’t protest that either. But I think the ultimate decision on whether we share you in bed at the same time is up to you, Annalise. Not us.”
“Oh…” She’d never considered something like that before tonight. She had no issues with it, but the situation had simply never presented itself, and so she hadn’t had to deal with it. Did she want that? Yes, she did. But she also wanted her separate time with each man.
“You certainly don’t have to make a decision tonight,” said Dustin. He stood. “In fact, I’ve intruded on your evening with Chad long enough, so I think I’ll just—”
“Don’t go.” Chad cut him off. “I wouldn’t feel right about it. Not after everything we’ve just said to each other.” He cut his gaze to Annalise. “As long as it’s all right with Annalise, I’d like you to stay.”
Annalise bit her lip to hold back the moan. The testosterone level in the room must have risen to ridiculous levels because suddenly her nipples tingled and her clit throbbed. She had no idea what she’d done to deserve these two sexier-than-life men who both wanted her, but she was tired of questioning it. It was obvious they were all right with sharing her in bed. So, why not?
“It’s your decision, Annalise.” Dustin’s voice was calm, but the raging lust in his eyes and the way his jaw muscle twitched gave him away. She’d leave the question of separate time with each man for another day.
Annalise stood up and took off her robe, holding Dustin’s gaze. As it fluttered to the floor, she heard Chad swear under his breath. Without looking at him, she turned and walked toward her bedroom. Her heart was beating so fast she was afraid she’d pass out before she actually reached her bed. Some seduction scene that would turn out to be. She could almost picture herself being carted away in an ambulance with both men racing down the street after it, fighting over who got to see her first in the ER. The scandal would be all over town before noon tomorrow.
She didn’t even make it into the room before strong arms encircled her from behind, and she breathed in Chad’s clean musky scent. “Are you sure about this, sweetheart?” he whispered, nuzzling her neck. His erection pressed against her bare ass, and even through his boxers it forced a moan from her throat.
“Yes,” she said, leaning into his embrace. “Absolutely certain.”
Chad picked her up and dumped her unceremoniously onto the bed as Annalise giggled. He tore off his boxers and covered her body, kissing her roughly. She wrapped her arms and legs around him and watched over his shoulder as Dustin shed his clothes in what had to be record time. His cock sprang out, thick, red, and ready. Annalise moaned into Chad’s open mouth and reached out for Dustin with one hand.
Dustin moved next to her and Chad on the bed and stroked her hair, gazing into her eyes with the most intense lust she’d ever seen. Chad moved from her mouth to her nipples, grazing his teeth over one then the other.
Annalise wanted Dustin to suck her, too, and she reached for him again, but he shook his head. “I want to watch right now. I need to do this.”
When he began to stroke his dick, she groaned out loud. He watched while Chad teased her nipples with his teeth and tongue. Her legs were still wrapped around Chad, and Annalise couldn’t help rubbing her clit against him. Was Dustin only going to watch? And what did he mean by telling her that he needed to? Was he trying to banish bad memories?
When Chad moved his mouth to her pussy, she let go of any lingering doubts or questions and threw back her head as he licked her clit and fucked her with two fingers. Her orgasm was slow to come, but when it finally did, she cried out as the waves spread through her body. She glanced up at Dustin and moaned again as she realized how close he was to coming.
His gaze was full of raw desire, and his dick was dripping with pre-cum. She wanted desperately to taste it, but when she tried to reach for him Chad moved her hand away. “Let him do this in his own way,” he whispered.
She watched Chad rise from the bed and fumble in his pants pockets for a condom. He slipped it on, and then he moved between her legs and slid inside her swollen pussy. She couldn’t concentrate on Dustin any longer. All she could do was hang on to Chad as he fucked her rough and deep. He put her legs over his shoulders and grabbed her breasts, kneading them in his strong hands. It didn’t take long for him to come, and after he had, he pulled out and lay on the other side of her, breathing heavily.
“Annalise, I will never get enough of you. Never.”
Dustin rose from the bed and glanced around.
“In my left front jeans pocket,” said Chad.
Dustin took out a condom wrapper and opened it, his gaze locked on Annalise’s face. She squirmed on the bed and moaned, desire spreading through her as she realized he was finally going to fuck her. After he put on the condom, he moved next to her and asked her to turn on her side toward Chad. She did as he asked, and was immediately rewarded with his hands on her breasts from behind.
He bent her top leg at the knee toward her chest, and Annalise sighed as Chad rolled onto his side to watch her face. It was so intense having both men there, and nothing like she’d imagined it would be. Her emotions were raw, and tears trickled down her cheeks. Chad brushed one away but that only made Annalise cry more.
“You’re beautiful,” he whispered.
Dustin nuzzled her neck as he fingered her soaking wet pussy. “Yes, you are, Annalise. Thank you for this.”
She couldn’t answer him. All she could do was cry out in pleasure as he plunged his dick into her pussy from behind, grazing her sensitive spot with each thrust. One hand kneaded her breast while the other rubbed her clit, although that wasn’t even necessary. Another climax was well on its way.
“Look at me,” said Chad. “I want to watch you come again.”
“Oh, God…” Annalise’s orgasm was crazy, tearing through her already-frayed nerves with so much intensity she couldn’t stop the tears. Chad’s gaze was soft and tender, and he brushed away her tears as Dustin groaned and cried out, adding his own contractions to hers.
He pulled out and took off his condom then wrapped her in his arms from behind and held her. “Thank you…thank you so much, Annalise.”
She closed her eyes and fell asleep, listening to both men breathing close to her.

Chad found it impossible to concentrate on his work Tuesday morning. It was just his dumb luck that he was so far behind on paperwork there was no way to blow it off. His Chief, Dean Ramsey, had pretty much told him to finish it today or else. It was an empty threat as far as any censure was concerned, and they both knew that, but Chad still felt guilty over letting it pile up so much and was therefore determined to clear it off his desk, empty threat or not.
But every few minutes his mind would wander to the night before, and he’d stare at the framed commendations on the wall across from his desk, not really seeing them. Instead he was picturing the tears running down Annalise’s cheeks, and the l
ook of pure bliss on her face as she came with his dick inside her. Then again, she’d looked that way when Dustin made her come, too.
Chad knew he was being childish, but he couldn’t help it. They’d both seduced her, after all. They’d dumped the decision to have a threesome into her hands, and then Chad had orchestrated it by not allowing both of them to fuck her at the same time. He had no idea if Dustin had wanted to or if he truly did just want to watch and then take his turn. He supposed he and Dustin would have to talk about this, or it would drive a wedge between them.
How had Dustin felt watching him fuck Annalise? Had it brought back unpleasant memories of Susan with Todd? Chad needed to know. But if he asked, he’d be forced to admit to Dustin that he had seethed with jealousy while watching Annalise get fucked by him, even though he was well aware that they’d all agreed to it.
What the hell were they going to do? It was too late to turn back this tide now. She’d enjoyed it way too much. Chad was certain that Dustin had noticed that as well. And neither one was going to give her up. How the fuck were they going to make this work without ripping each other’s heads off over jealousy? Dustin had been his best friend forever. But Annalise was unlike any woman he’d ever met, and there was no way he could simply back off and let Dustin have her. No fucking way.
Chad pulled the papers into a pile and pushed them off the desk. How had he let this happen? He was so screwed. He’d waited his entire life to meet a girl like Annalise, and before he’d even had the chance to spend one night alone with her, he’d been thrust into a ménage relationship with the one person in this town that he never thought would go for something like that, given his past experience. It’s not something Chad had ever considered either, but last night he’d been so turned-on by seeing Annalise drop her robe that he’d just let his dick take over.
Now, he wasn’t so sure he could handle it. At least both men had left together early this morning so Chad knew that Dustin hadn’t had any more time with her than he’d had. They’d walked back to Riverfront Drive. Annalise had offered to drive them, but both had declined, knowing she had to work later and needed her sleep.
It had been the most uncomfortable walk Chad had ever taken. Neither he nor Dustin had said a word until Chad reached his truck, still parked in front of Have Some Coffee. Chad had mumbled something about seeing him later but Dustin hadn’t answered or acknowledged the comment. He’d merely unlocked the door to the clinic without so much as a backward glance.
He’d have to talk to Dustin. There was no way around it. There was no way they could move forward in this relationship without having a serious conversation about how this was going to work, or even if it could work.
“Fuck it all.” Chad forced himself to pick up the papers and get back to work. Why did they still have to fill out these damn things by hand? Every police force in the damn country had software to help them fill out reports, but Dean had said it was a waste of money unless they’d all suddenly forgotten how to write. Chad sighed and picked up his pen. “And fuck you, too, Dean.”
Chapter Twelve
As Dustin placed his stethoscope against the underside of a silver tabby cat to listen to her heartbeat, his mind wandered back to the way Annalise’s heart had raced under the hand that had grasped her left breast as he’d fucked her from behind last night. When he examined the cat’s yellow eyes for drainage or other indications of illness, an image of Annalise’s beautiful dark-brown eyes filled his mind. They’d been full of confusion and uncertainty when the three had first begun to talk last night, but by the time she’d held his gaze and shed her robe, raw desire had shone from them.
“I think she’s fine,” he said. “Just try to watch what she eats from now on, okay?”
Mrs. Cadbury smiled sweetly. “Oh, thank you, Dustin. I will.”
Mrs. Cadbury picked up Smoky and made her way out of the clinic. Dustin shook his head, knowing full well the cat would be back in here within a month. Mrs. Cadbury fed her whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted. Dustin didn’t think she’d ever bought a bag of cat food in all the years she’d owned Smoky. Smoky was at least ten pounds overweight and needed mineral oil everyday just to poop.
Dustin sighed in relief at the sight of his empty waiting room. Normally he was more than happy to have a room full of patients, but today he needed to think. And to sleep. But sleep would have to wait.
He went into his tiny office and sat at the desk, trying to make sense of everything that had happened the night before. He’d never be able to admit to Chad or Annalise how much it had turned him on watching Chad fuck her. He’d had to fight to keep from coming on his own hand. If Chad had taken any longer to finish, he wouldn’t have been able to hold out.
Why had Chad told Annalise to let him do this in his own way? Had he known what was going through Dustin’s mind? Dustin could tell that Annalise had wanted him to join her and Chad. Had Chad not wanted that, and had used his interpretation of Dustin’s needs at that moment as an excuse for keeping Dustin away from Annalise? Or had Chad correctly sensed that Dustin was fine just where he was at the time?
He’d made love to Annalise after Chad finished because she’d looked so damn beautiful lying there after her orgasm. He’d wanted to be inside her again in the worst way, and she certainly hadn’t minded, so all was well. Right?
Except that he wasn’t sure all was well or ever would be. This wasn’t the same situation as Todd and Susan, and he knew that, but he hadn’t been able to stop the memories from surfacing anyway. Would he ever be able to banish them? If this was what Annalise wanted, would he be able to handle it? Would he be able to give this to her without becoming torn up over jealousy every time Chad touched her? Would he actually be able to make love to her at the same time as Chad did?
How the hell had this happened? If he hadn’t noticed Chad’s truck parked outside on the street and then gone looking for him, he’d have never gone to Annalise’s apartment last night. He’d still be blissfully unaware of the fact that she and Chad were physically involved, and he’d be looking forward to his date with Annalise on Thursday. Did they still have a date on Thursday?
He had no fucking clue what would happen now, but he knew that he was glad he’d gone to her place last night. It would have been far worse to carry on without knowing she was also sleeping with Chad, and then to find out later. He didn’t blame Chad, and he knew Chad didn’t blame him. There was no blame to apportion. It had simply happened.
Both men had left Annalise’s apartment early this morning. He’d never had such a long silent walk with another person. Neither one had spoken all the way to Riverfront Drive. Chad had muttered something when he’d reached his truck, but Dustin had pretended not to hear him. He simply hadn’t been ready to handle any conversation about Annalise this morning. He wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to, but obviously they had to talk about this before anything else happened.
Chad had been his best friend since they were kids. And that was important to Annalise, too. She’d said so last night, more than once. Dustin knew she wasn’t playing them. She’d been willing to let them both go rather than have them lose their friendship. Good God. What an extraordinary woman. Truly. She was nothing like Susan, and Chad was nothing like Todd. This wasn’t the same thing, and it never would be.
Intellectually, Dustin knew that, but he was also so confused and uncertain at that moment. Annalise was everything he’d ever wanted in a woman. But could he share her with another man? Could he actually do this?
* * * *
Annalise had to drink twice the usual amount of coffee just to clear the cobwebs from her brain when she finally emerged from under her covers around noon. She had to be at work by three, and once again she seriously thought about calling in sick. But too many people might have seen her out with Chad last night, and God only knew who had seen Dustin show up at her apartment several hours later. The entire town probably already knew that both men had spent the night. If she called in sick, the gossip
would reach epic proportions.
She snuggled back against the pillows and breathed in their combined scents. How would she ever bring herself to wash the sheets again? Her pussy was still sore, and she could still feel Chad’s mouth on hers and Dustin’s strong hand kneading her left breast. She could feel his dick inside her and she could picture the look in Chad’s eyes as he’d fucked her.
She sighed and took another large sip of coffee, wishing they both were here right now. If they were, she’d never let them leave. The hell with their jobs. She wanted to stay in this room with both Chad and Dustin and fuck them until none of them could walk.
She reluctantly crawled out of bed and took a shower, but all that did was arouse her even further as she pictured Chad and Dustin in there with her, soaping her up and fucking her against the shower wall. Maybe she’d text them both and invite them over later?
Her next day off was Thursday. She was supposed to be going to the movies with Dustin, but maybe they could both take the day off and spend it with her? The first place they needed to visit was Tye Me Up so that they could buy a few things, including several dozen boxes of condoms.
Annalise giggled as she toweled off, picturing used condoms strewn all over the apartment amidst a trail of sex toys. She’d keep them both so busy and happy that they wouldn’t have time to think about anything else. They were like a drug, and she had to have them. Together or separately was fine, as long as she had both of them. Last night had been the most decadent and erotic thing she’d ever done, and she wanted more of it. Much more.

Chad finally called Dustin around two in the afternoon, and he was surprised when Dustin answered on the first ring. “Hey, it’s me. We need to talk. When is a good time for you?”
