More Than Lovers by Jess Dee Read Free Book Online

morning.
    Sarah couldn’t remember if the two of them had even had a cup of tea during one of their booty calls. Food had never been a part of the deal. Sleep hadn’t either.
    Sarah wasn’t complaining. Not for a second. She adored Charlie’s booty calls. Sex with him was…orgasmic. Okay, multi-orgasmic. As for the cuddling after? Now that he’d started, Charlie didn’t stop. And he was quite the cuddler, holding her as tenderly as he would a newborn, nuzzling her hair, burying his nose in her neck.
    Sarah felt so safe and cherished in his arms, it was almost impossible to stay awake when he snuggled in. She just relaxed against him to a point of languid lethargy. Hours later she’d awaken to find the sun had risen while they’d slept together.
    It almost felt like they were in a relationship. Like they’d made a natural progression from being lovers to being more. And God help her, Sarah liked the progress. Now that she knew what it was like to wake up in Charlie’s arms, she could happily spend every night with him.
    But she wouldn’t fool herself into thinking their relationship was about more than sex. It wasn’t. No man involved in a relationship would actively shove another man—or three—down his partner’s throat. She and Charlie were no more than casual lovers.
    He made no bones about the fact that he expected Sarah to meet all three men he’d lined up. He seemed to have high hopes that one of them would be “the one” for her. The man she would ultimately settle down with long-term.
    Which confused the heck out of Sarah, but she couldn’t complain. She was having too good a time with him. Like now, for instance. Charlie had her on the floor, spread naked in front of him, using a gruff voice to insist she tell him all about the evening.
    Charlie asked only once, and as Sarah relayed the details, he buried his head between her legs, opened his mouth and feasted on her pussy.
    She came twice before she managed to tell him everything.
     
     
    The second date wasn’t quite as successful as the first.
    Myles Brenner, lawyer, was a good-looking guy. No question about it. Dark hair, brooding eyes and long legs, he turned more than one woman’s head as he strolled with her through Double Bay to a café of his choice.
    He’d insisted on collecting her rather than meeting her at the restaurant, and while at first Sarah had thought it quaint and gentlemanly, after a while his chivalry became stifling.
    As polite and mannered as he was, Myles was old-school all the way. He ordered for Sarah after finding out what she wanted. He applauded her dedication to her studies and work, though clearly frowned at her aspirations to remain at the uni long-term. Over the course of the evening Sarah came to understand Myles’s way of thinking. Women should, of course , be equal to men in every way, but he didn’t think he could ever work for a woman. The idea made him uncomfortable. Furthermore, he believed women were innately better at nurturing children than men, and so when the time came, he expected his wife and the mother of his children to stay at home and raise the kids.
    His somewhat archaic perception of life spurred an interesting discussion with Charlie later that night.
    After Sarah had made it clear Myles was nice but not for her, and after Charlie had fucked her senseless on the kitchen counter as the kettle boiled for tea, she broached the subject with him.
    “Char?”
    “Mmmm?” His cheeks were still flushed, his breath not quite back to normal. He looked criminally sexy.
    “Do you ever think about having a family of your own?”
    “Sure.” He took out a couple of mugs, popped some teabags in them and added hot water. “Why d’ya ask?”
    “Something Myles said this evening. About having children.”
    He paused to look at her, a cheeky glint in his eyes. “He wants you to have his kids? Already?”
    “Ha-ha, very funny. Not. No, we spoke in general, nothing so specific as me bearing his
