lust. Come on. I didn’t even pay attention when you told me your names. I didn’t care which was which because it didn’t matter.”
“All of it mattered to us, and I think it meant more to you than you’re admitting.”
“How is someone who worked for Fantasies Fulfilled this naïve?”
“You’re the one who is being naïve. You’re assuming we couldn’t have felt anything for you because we’re, as you put it, sex workers. Also, what you’re interpreting as naivety is actually confusion. I sound incredulous because I know you felt the same spark that we did.”
“You don’t know me at all. We only had one night together, and we didn’t spend it telling our life stories.”
“We got to know each other very well though. You can really see and know someone when they open up to you completely. When we showed up you spent several minutes explaining that you didn’t want sex, but everything changed when we touched. You surrendered, and there were no barriers between us.”
She thought about how it had started. They had agreed to her terms, and then they’d moved to the bedroom. Heath had kissed her, and the touch of his lips had absolutely taken her breath away. Adam had moved in behind her and undressed her in mere moments. Being naked and pressed between their hard bodies had been too much for her to resist. She felt another stirring in her core as she recalled this man fingering her and then sliding his hard cock over her ass and into her eager pussy.
“What are you thinking?” Adam asked softly.
She realized she had been silent a long time. “What do you think?” she said testily.
“You’re remembering being with us. Please see us again. We’ll meet in public. We’ll work on relating those life stories you think are so important.”
“Well, it will give new meaning to the term ‘double date’ now, won’t it?” She sighed in exasperation. “Fine. We will have dinner in a restaurant. You will not come here. Okay? I guess I can’t stop you, but I request that you stay away from my apartment. If you’re being genuine about your feelings, I assume you’ll respect that wish.”
“We will, if that’s what you want.”
“It is. I’m free tomorrow night. We’ll meet at Giovanna’s at six. You know it, don’t you?”
“Yes. We’ll be there.”
“Okay. That’s settled. No more presents or notes. Got it?”
“Yes, Rose, I’ve got it. Though I have to say it’s amazing how averse you are to being wooed considering what you let us do to you that night.”
She tried to keep memories from invading again. “You are persistent, aren’t you? Is this how you usually get what you want?”
“Yes. It’s how I won Heath’s heart. He’d never been with a man before, but when I made my interest known he admitted he was attracted to me and gave in. Our first touch was unforgettable. I don’t believe in denying or hiding what I feel.”
As he spoke she couldn’t fight off the memory of the two men kissing. Maybe their lives were unconventional, but what Adam had just said was very romantic. Again she questioned their desire to see her. They had all they would ever need in each other. Why involve her? She shook her head and decided she would wait for a face-to-face meeting to ask that question again.
“I’m not denying or hiding anything. I think this situation is strange. I’m ninety-nine percent sure this is a bad idea, but I am willing to meet you both in public.”
“I’m glad. We’ll see what we can do with that one percent of you that favors us.”
He lowered his voice to a sensual whisper, as if he knew exactly where to find that one percent.
“Good- bye, Rose.”
“Bye.” She hung up, but as she put the phone down she cursed. She’d meant to say something about the music box. She didn’t mind the tune, but she wanted it to stop playing. She lifted the box in her hands and looked at the engraving on the inside of the lid. Come, follow me. Was that the name
