muscles as he washed. But without her glasses she couldn’t see her own toes clearly beneath the water. Still the scent of his lemony shampoo wound its way through her nose, making her hungry for a taste of him.
Ah, crap. Truth was, she was never not hungry for him or Jay.
What now? Where did they go from here? Her conversation with Kim at lunch had her anxious. No matter how uncertain she was about the future of this threesome, one thing she had no doubts about were her feelings for the men. She was seriously in love with both of them. Enough in love that the thought of ever finding anyone else was ridiculous. Julia knew that after Jay and Hunter no other man could ever come close. No one else could compete. She’d suspected it months before anything had happened between them. Their last week together had cemented her convictions.
But her convictions only complicated issues. What would Hunter and Jay say if they knew her feelings towards them went way beyond sexual desire? Sure, they knew she found them both irresistible, but apart from physical satisfaction, none of them had discussed the emotional side of things. They were too busy having sex.
“You know what, Four Eyes?” Hunter said as he stepped out of the shower.
I know I love you. “Tell me.”
Hunter toweled himself dry. “You are some kind of wonderful.”
She grinned at him.
“Smart, sassy, sexy and beautiful. And a tigress in bed.”
She couldn’t be sure, but she thought he smiled.
“You’re pretty good in bed yourself, Blondie.”
He wrapped the towel around his waist and came to sit on the side of the bath. “Is this all okay for you?” The concern in his voice was unmistakable. “You know, being with both of us?”
Had he read her mind? “Okay?” She laughed lightly. “It’s freaking amazing.”
He was close enough for her to notice his frown at her answer. “You’re lying,” he said in a soft voice. “You’ve been too quiet this evening. Is something bothering you?”
Damn eyes of his. They saw way too much. She sighed. “I am lying.”
“What’s the problem?”
Julia bit her lip, but said nothing.
“Are we too much for you? Both…both of us together? Jay and I were worried about that.”
“God, no!” Julia knew her answer left no room for doubt. “I love making love to both of you. Love, love, love it.” Even talking about it got her hot, and she squirmed in the water, her body tightening in awareness.
Hunter’s gaze caught on her breasts and stayed there for a couple of seconds. When he spoke again, his voice was gruff. He had to stop and clear his throat. “So what’s the matter?”
Oh Lord, how did she explain this?
“Jules, I’ve licked your ass. I’ve fucked you in every way known to mankind. And I’ll be damned if I don’t want to do it over and over again.” He took a shaky breath. “We’re past the point of pretending to be shy around each other. If you’re worried about something, tell me. Let me help.” Hunter trailed a hand in the water.
She gave him a half smile. “Well, when you put it like that…” She gnawed on her bottom lip. “Are you comfortable with the way things have turned out between the three of us?”
He thought about her question. Emotion flashed in his eyes, but she couldn’t identify it. “Surprised would be a more accurate description.”
She snorted. “Oh, I can relate to that.”
“I never thought I’d enjoy sharing you with another man, but with Jay—” He hesitated, as though he were measuring each word. “I like it. A lot.” He swept his hand along her ribs and up over her breast. Her nipple beaded in response.
“I like it a lot too.” Julia licked her lips. “More than I ever imagined I would.”
“I’d always wanted you to myself,” Hunter told her. “Up until that first night we kissed, I hadn’t…” Again he paused. “I hadn’t thought this could be an option.”
Julia blushed. “I fantasized about both of you—all the time,
