fell by her back, his arm thrown across her waist. Enveloped in
Dante and Andrew’s blissful embrace, she didn’t even try to keep her eyes open
and gave herself up to exhaustion.
    * * * * *
    Hours later, she was on her way home. Dante held her close
as she shut her eyes and enjoyed the comfort of being in his arms. She was dead
tired but happy, completely satisfied. Both men had taken such care with her,
not once but three times, each time more erotic, more intense than the last.
    They were both so skilled, yet so different. Andrew was
decadently beautiful with a quick smile and an easygoing nature. Dante, her
dark-haired lover, was more sedate and serious. So completely opposite the boy
she remembered in high school.
    High school—he never mentioned it. Could she have really
been so forgettable back then? Granted, they hadn’t been the best of friends,
but they had been friendly. Shared what she considered a few innocently sweet
moments.
    She refused to think about it now, wrapped up in Dante’s
musky scent and thick, strong arms.
    “You’re exquisite.” He stroked her cheek. “I don’t know if
I’m going to get enough of you—ever.”
    She wanted to believe he meant it and it wasn’t just a
product of one of the hottest sexual experiences known to man.
    “I want you again.”
    Her stomach knotted in a funny kind of way, like when your
dearest wish was finally coming true. “Three times wasn’t enough?”
    “Not nearly enough, Penny.” His wicked fingers tiptoed up
her thigh. Goose bumps covered her flesh.
    “How about I fix you and Andrew dinner on Friday?”
    He frowned slightly.
    “Is something wrong?”
    He brushed the hair back from her face. “Everything is
perfect. Friday would be great. Say around seven?”
    She kissed him. “I would love nothing more. But first…”
    “What is it?” He looked concerned.
    “Protection.” She stared down at her knees. “I’m clean and
on birth control—”
    “So am I.” He crooked a finger beneath her chin, drawing her
gaze to his. “Well, at least the clean part.” He grinned. “But we’ll take
whatever precautions you want, whenever you want. You just say the word.”
    With a smile, she settled back against his chest. She
couldn’t wait until Friday.
     

Chapter Five
     
    Work had been a bear. It had been three days since their
evening together, and what a night it had been. Dante had kept his distance on
purpose. He wasn’t sure he’d be able to honor his promise to keep his hands off
Penny for much longer.
    The memory of her soft skin along his kept him awake most
evenings. His concentration was for shit and he’d often had to shake away the
mental picture of her mouth in order to get anything done. It was going to be a
hell of a lot easier when Kale returned. Then he’d be able to keep his mind on
business.
    The other thing that kept nagging at him was Andrew. For the
first time since they’d been friends, Dante didn’t want to share. As far as he
knew, Penny enjoyed them equally—hell, she may have even preferred Andrew over
him. The idea didn’t sit well.
    The hard truth was, his feelings for her went beyond a few
incredible sexual encounters. At the dinner they’d all shared, he’d been
impressed by her work ethic and enchanted with her laughter and sense of humor.
    Did Andrew want her this much? If so, it might present a
problem later on. He wanted to continue seeing Penny and he wanted to see her
alone. He wanted to learn all there was about her.
    When had life become so fucking complicated? He didn’t know,
but there was something about the way she looked at him, as though she understood
him. He couldn’t put his finger on it but she knew him in a way no other woman
had. As though she carried a secret knowledge about his life even he wasn’t
aware of, something that eclipsed their shared childhood past. Somewhere along
the way, a simple sexual liaison had stopped being simple and he couldn’t wait
until Friday night to
