startled or intrigued?
    “It turned me on, too,” Wade said in a voice that was a trifle thick. He stood in the same spot, statue still, his gaze fastened on Victoria’s face. “I’m going to guess you noticed.”
    “I noticed,” she confessed, the two of them exchanging a telling look. The chemistry wasn’t just on camera.
    And no refusal, Ross noted. Persuasively, he murmured, “But nice girls don’t sleep with two men, is that the problem? First of all, no one but the three of us will ever know, and second, who says they don’t? Nice girls just don’t talk about it or do it indiscriminately.”
    Then Wade sealed the deal. He said with raw but obvious honesty, “I fell in love with you the minute I saw you, Tori. The problem was, of course, I only met you because Ross wanted to introduce me to his new girlfriend. I’ve spent the better part of a year feeling like the world’s biggest asshole, but I’ve found there are some things you just can’t control.”
    Heart on his sleeve, yep, that was his younger brother.
    Victoria gazed at him with a poignant expression on her face. “I had no idea. I thought you didn’t even like me. If Ross hadn’t told me earlier…well…” She trailed off.
    “How long have
you
known?” Wade asked him.
    “Since day one,” Ross admitted. “I just wasn’t sure how to handle it. That is, until now.”
    Both of them looked at Victoria.
    “Don’t do anything you aren’t comfortable with, Tori,” Wade still didn’t move.
    Ross did. He stood and reached down to scoop her up against his chest, the seductive, warm weight of her in his arms making his already rock hard erection pulse in time with the beat of his heart.
    “Can we continue this discussion in my bedroom?”
    “Yes,” she said, slipping an arm around his neck.
    Yes.
    “All three of us?” He wanted to be clear on just what she was agreeing to.
    “If you’re sure.” She blushed but didn’t look away.
“Oh, yeah.”

    Chapter Four
    It was obvious she’d lost her mind, Victoria decided, and if a person was crazy, well…
    They did crazy things. Like agreeing to sleep with two men at the same time.
    Two gorgeous, sexy, men—she corrected inwardly as she watched Wade strip off his T-shirt and reveal that nicely muscled chest and taut stomach—who both actually happened to be
nice
guys.
    And both of them claimed to be in love with her.
    Taking that into consideration, was there a woman on the planet who would disagree with what she was doing?
    Well, yes. Her mother for one.
    Now was not the time to think about
that
. Maybe it was the wine. Could she blame the merlot for her astonishing decision? Because she didn’t think she’d ever be the kind of woman who would want to…
    “You are so beautiful.” Ross, his erection high and prominent against his stomach, joined her on the bed. His hand smoothed her shoulder and then cupped a breast as he bent his head. The sensation of his mouth gently sucking her nipple made her eyes close, but she opened them at once again as the mattress dipped on the other side of her.
    “I agree,” Wade whispered in her ear and captured the other breast in his palm, his thumb gently rubbing the taut crest in a way that tingles straight downward between her legs.
    No, really, she wasn’t about to do this, was she?
    Wade had the kind of hard body that showed he worked outdoors ninety percent of the time. Sculpted biceps, toned abs, defined pecs, and a burnished tan to go with it along with all that gorgeously tousled raven hair His rare smile also was something to behold, lighting up a room. She’d been asked by more than one of her friends if there was any possibility of getting set up with Ross’s younger brother, and in retrospect, Victoria had to wonder if her reluctance had more to do with her personal attraction to him than anything else. She’d always explained he was on the shy side, but he wasn’t really. He just tended to be quiet unless he had something to
