shoulders came up against the timber doorjamb. Pierson slanted his mouth and deepened the kiss. His tongue swept over her lips and then thrust into her mouth. Eva sobbed as he slid his tongue along hers and then explored every inch of her mouth. She clung to his bulging biceps, the only anchor in a world gone mad with desire.
Never had she been kissed with such passion, such hunger. Her body ached, craving more of his touch. He tasted of coffee and mint, and she yearned to taste more of him. Eva wanted the kiss to go on and on. She couldn’t prevent a whimper of protest from escaping when he slowed the kiss down and finally lifted his head.
“That was fucking hot.” Quin’s voice came from close by. Eva looked up with embarrassment at being caught kissing his brother. “Come here, Eva.” His voice was deeper and huskier than normal, and although she hated to obey a command, she found herself moving on wobbly legs toward him when Pierson released her and stepped back.
“I want a kiss, too, honey. Will you let me?”
Shivering with need, she opened her mouth but couldn’t seem to find any words. Staring into his hungry eyes, she nodded.
He moved fast for such a big man. One instant he was still several feet away and the next he had her in his arms. Quin wasn’t tentative at all. Slamming his mouth over hers, pushing his tongue between her lips, he ravaged her. She was only vaguely aware that her feet had left the floor. Her hands gripped his solid, strong shoulders, one of his muscular forearms beneath her ass supporting her, and she tried to wrap her legs around his hips. The metal brace on her leg dug into her flesh and she groaned with frustration and lowered her legs again, but it didn’t seem to bother Quin. His strength astounded her as he held her up without seeming to make any effort. He took and took, turning her smoldering libido into an inferno, but he also gave. Quin’s tongue danced with hers and then he ate at her lower lip, sucking it into his mouth, licking and nipping at her flesh.
She was so hot and in such need that she wanted him to strip her down right there and then and touch her. Finally she drew away, gasping in lungfuls of air and staring at him as he lowered her feet to the floor and she removed her arms from around his neck.
“I want you, Eva. We all do. We’ve been waiting for you to decide what you want. Please don’t get our hopes up if you aren’t willing to be with all three of us.”
“I−I…” Oh God! She so wanted to say yes, but wanting wasn’t enough for her. She needed more than just lust from them.
“Sugar.” Grayson’s voice drew her gaze. She hadn’t even been aware he was close by. She had been so wrapped up in Pierson and Quin she hadn’t heard him approach. He stopped when he was only feet from her and reached out a hand to her. His fingers stroked over her heated cheek, and she closed her eyes at the soft touch. “We won’t force you into something if you’re not ready. Just think about being in a relationship with us. If you want to be with us it will be exclusively, but you get to make the next move. The decision is yours to make, Eva. We won’t pressure you.”
Eva gulped audibly and looked to each of them. They looked so eager and yet so vulnerable. She felt a little bad that she wasn’t going to give them the answer they wanted to hear, at least not yet.
“I know you want me to say yes,” she almost whispered and then paused and drew in a ragged breath. “I can’t. Not yet. I need more time.”
“You take all the time you need, darlin’. We won’t rush you,” Pierson said, looking a little sad.
“I’m sorry I can’t answer you right now, but I’m not sure how any of this would work. I’ve only ever had one boyfriend, and it should never have been.” She held up her hand when Quin began to speak.
“I haven’t finished, Quin,” Eva said. “I also want you to know why I feel so cautious.” She took a breath. “I have a
