Summer Wine: Taste of Seduction, Book 1 by Jess Dee Read Free Book Online Page A

Blake didn’t only have eyes for Angus. He had eyes for her too.
     
     
    Back at the lodge, Angus sat himself down at one of those couches by the window he’d eyed earlier and sketched a couple of ideas. No, he hadn’t decided to take the job. And certainly Blake wouldn’t hire him without agreeing on what needed to be done. But his head was overflowing with thoughts, and he wanted to get them down on paper.
    Blake headed back to the winery to chat to the winemakers, and Lily retrieved her iPad from the car and sat close by, reading. Sharing downtime with Lily was cozy. And easy. He didn’t feel the need to make conversation. He did, however, feel her presence in his gut. She sat close enough that every time he inhaled he caught a whiff of her unique scent. More than once, he stopped sketching simply to look at her curled up on the couch beside him, lost in her book. Damn woman had his mouth watering and his dick aching. He intended to do something about it. Soon.
    The problem was, the damn man seemed to have the same effect on him. How the hell did he kiss Lily again—without wanting to kiss Blake too?
    The ache persisted through the rest of the afternoon and well into dinner.
    They prepared steaks and salad and ate once again in the dining room. Conversation flowed freely, like it had at lunch, and the more time Angus spent with Blake and Lily, the more he liked them.
    And the more he wanted them. Both. At the same time and separately. Which just fucked with his head.
    He couldn’t deny his relief when, after dinner, Blake excused himself to go shower. Angus had been aroused the whole goddamned day, and he wanted Lily in his arms, now. Fuck knew how she’d respond to him, what with being at Blake’s hotel and spending the day with the man she loved, but he was about to find out.
    “Lily?”
    “Hmmm?” She looked up from the sideboard where she’d been packing away clean cutlery.
    He walked toward her.
    She closed the drawer and stretched lazily. “Need something?”
    Angus didn’t pretend his gaze was focused anywhere other than her chest. “Yep. I’m curious.”
    “About what?”
    “I’m wondering if being here, in Blake’s hotel, will affect the way you respond to my kiss.”
    She laughed, a soft, feminine laugh that he felt deep in his groin. “Hmmm. Good question. Now you have me wondering too.”
    He regarded her for a long time. “Wanna hear something crazy?”
    She nodded.
    “I get it. I get what you like about him.”
    She raised a brow. “Blake?”
    “Yeah.”
    “You do?”
    Angus chose his words carefully. He wasn’t going to lie to her, wasn’t going to deny his attraction, but neither was he going to scare her off by spelling out exactly how attracted he was to Blake. “He’s a good guy.”
    A gleam filled her eyes. “He’s a good-looking guy too.”
    “I s’pose.”
    “And he has a great ass.”
    “S’pose,” Angus agreed.
    It was Lily’s turn to regard him for a long time. “You like him too.”
    He nodded. Yeah, he liked the guy. A lot.
    The gleam in her eyes turned speculative. And hot. Jesus, the way she looked at him now? Fucking sexy.
    “I’m curious about something else,” she murmured.
    He raised a brow in question.
    “I wonder if being this close to Blake will affect the way you respond to my kisses.”
    Observant woman. Did she know he wanted to explore his response to Blake’s kisses too? “Only one way to find out.”
    Before she could draw the conversation out any further, he hauled her into his arms, and molded his mouth to hers. Their lips met in an instantly heated toying of tongues.
    Jesus, she tasted good. Better than any beer ever could. Felt good too, pressed against him like this, all soft and feminine.
    His dick grew so hard it hurt.
    She squashed her breasts into his chest, her pert nipples poking at him. Her waist felt tiny beneath his hands, and her mouth made his skin prickle with desire. It pulled tight across his bones, sensitive as hell
