attention.”
“Good night.” Cassie smiled as the two men went upstairs. “They’re so cute. I should go. Thanks for dinner.”
Standing, Dom tried to think of an excuse to keep her around. He lacked Monty’s easygoing nature. Even Ham had better small talk skills. Dom was a loner despite surrounding himself with family. “What about your pie?”
She turned with her hand on her hip and a smirk on her face. “Is that a come on?”
He moved in closer, only inches from her now so he could smell the hint of jasmine from her perfume. “I meant the apple pie you baked us. But you’re very welcome to stay the night. It must be lonely at your place all alone.” He tucked a stray curl behind her ear.
She nodded. “Must be lonely when those two go into men only mode.”
The ceiling shook, and muffled voices followed. Cassie’s smile lit up the dusky night.
Dom sighed. “Those two are very into each other. And you. That’s what drove them upstairs.”
“Me?” She frowned.
“They’re into you. Not just for the sex—they like you. I could see it.”
“That’s a problem so they want to be alone?” she asked.
He shrugged. “No, not a problem. It’s a relationship. They just need to prove to each other that they put each other first. They’re not insecure. They just need to have their alone time. Sometimes at unexpected times.”
“They’re very lucky. You think you know everyone and everything in a small town, but it’s hard to find what Alex and Monty have.” She looked him in the eye. “I never expected a sex party next door.”
“So stay and see how normal we are. Spend some time with the guys next door. Keep me warm tonight.” He held out a hand.
“You held back before, and now, you want to cuddle? Sure you’re not crazy for Alex, too, and out to make him happy?” She pressed her body to his, ignoring his hand.
His cock stirred. “I have no interest in men. But I don’t want to give you time to have second thoughts. You like this. Now, you’re trying to bait me.”
Cassie looked down and back up at him with an innocent pout. “Not at all. Spooning sounds good. But don’t think for a minute you guys wore me out. It was my first group experience, but I needed it. I like a challenge.”
“Need to run home for anything before I lock up?” Dom was certain she’d just issued him a challenge, but he’d let her wonder for now.
“No, I’m good. I travel light.” She waited while he closed the windows and locked the doors.
Dom grabbed her hand and led her up the stairs and into his room, which was luckily on the opposite end of the second floor from Monty and Alex’s room.
“Make yourself comfortable.” He pulled the comforter down.
“It’s a little early for bed, but I can’t think of anything I’d rather do right now.” She stepped out of her shoes and shimmied out of her dress.
He couldn’t help but stare as she kept going and let the flimsy bra then the gauzy panties fall. Tugging off his shirt, his eyes went right back to her naked body sitting primly on his bed.
Cassie’s inquisitive eyes watched him with interest. Barefoot, Dom unbuttoned his jeans and pushed them down along with his boxers. Her smile got bigger when his cock was exposed.
“You just want to cuddle?” she asked.
“I can control myself.” He sat on the crisp blue sheets.
Cassie eased back onto the pillows and turned on her side. Her lush ass taunted him as she yawned. “Good for you.”
All the things he wanted to do to her flooded his brain. Sharing her more with his brothers was on his list. She was so beautiful surrounded by their muscle and glowing with pleasure. But having her to himself pushed his desire to another level. Dom slid up behind her. His cock pressed to her firm ass.
She snuggled back to him, completely at ease.
This was a remarkable woman. The oil spill…Katrina… He’d seen all her photos on the town website. The things she’d seen firsthand.
