Three to Tango Page 9

  He was a little shocked at what he’d just agreed to. But the more he let the idea sink in, the more it appealed. If he was being honest with himself, even though he was hurt and angry when he’d seen them kissing, his first and immediate reaction had been desire. He had wanted to be a part of them. Together.

  Maybe it had never registered before because he’d always thought he was firmly gay. Maybe he and Mel had been dancing around this their whole lives. How many times had told her he wished she were a man? But from the beginning they’d drawn lines in the sand and filled them with concrete, their roles defined and set—until Alec had showed them a way across the lines.

  It was crazy to want two people, to love two people. But he did. And they did. He believed that.

  Now that he’d agreed, he didn’t know what to do next. When it came to sex with a woman, he was still a virgin. He’d popped his boy cherry when he was sixteen with Jimmy Miller at a dance competition in Sacramento. And after that, there had been no reason to try women.

  Now, adrift in uncharted waters, the confidence and exuberance he usually brought to a sexual encounter had abandoned him. All he could do was stand there, looking at Mel’s silhouette against the pale blue glow of the stereo behind her, and hope that she’d make the first move.

  Or maybe Alec would.

  Rain tapped a haunting beat against the windowed wall of the studio while his anticipation grew.

  Alec ended the standoff. He stepped cautiously toward Jace, the way one would approach a panicked dog. Warm, strong hands cupped his face; then firm, velvet lips caressed his mouth. Alec’s kiss was heartfelt and full of conviction. That unique, heady spice filled Jace with trust—in him, in them—and he knew instinctively what Alec was telling him: that he was loved and this was right.

  Just as Jace relaxed and began to settle in, Alec broke away and reached for Mel, pulling her into their intimate circle. With one hand still holding Jace, he slid the other behind Mel’s head and kissed her soundly.

  Jace couldn’t pull his eyes away, mesmerized; his mouth watered.

  Alec broke from Mel and turned his gaze on Jace, leaning back a mere fraction, but enough for Jace to understand.

  He shifted his gaze to Mel and held it for a long moment. Her eyes sparkled like the falling rain caught in streetlights. His body thrummed, but he was still too unsure to move. Mel closed the distance for him and pressed her lips to his. Testing, enticing him without pressuring or rushing. He parted his lips, and she slipped her tongue inside. The taste of peppermint shocked his mouth as his tongue joined the dance she’d started. He deepened their kiss and was rewarded with a low keening moan.

  Soft, warm hands settled on the bare skin of his waist, and Mel pulled him toward her so their hips bumped. Just as he lifted his hands to her cup her face, a strong, large hand cruised up his spine, leaving sparks in its wake.

  Alec.

  Jace had become so engrossed in kissing Mel he hadn’t noticed that Alec had removed his shirt and moved behind him. Silky skin wrapped around hard muscle pressed into his back while smooth softness molded to his chest. The hand that had run up his spine now rested on his shoulder; the other hand slid possessively over his torso and fanned out on his abdomen. A hot breath against his neck, just behind his ear, sent a shudder racing through his body.

  “You’re beautiful together.”

  Teeth latched on to the corded muscle at the base of his neck. Every single nerve ending in his body ignited.

  The hand on his abdomen lowered, slipped inside the band of his pants, and gripped his aching shaft while Alec’s hard cock ground against his backside. Then the strong hand was replaced by a softer one. Although he was distantly aware of who was who, the lines blurred, and it felt like countless hands were everywhere at once.

  Alec forced Jace and Mel to move as one unit toward the desk. Mel bumped against it and sat decisively as Alec shoved papers onto the floor. An already naked Alec slid Mel’s shorts off as she pulled her shirt over her head. Then Alec hooked his hands in the waist of Jace’s wet pants and pushed them down his legs.

  Pale blue light from the face of the stereo ghosted Mel’s body and defined the lines and curves of smooth, flawless skin.

  “God, you’re beautiful, Melody,” Jace said, his voice rough.

  “And so are you,” Alec whispered as he turned Jace’s head and kissed him with aggressive possession. Jace swayed from the force of it when Alec released him and stepped back, blending into the shadows.

  Mel reached out for Jace and wrapped her hand around the back of his neck, pulling him toward her. “I love you, Jace.”

  He stepped between her open legs and took her lips, his hands firm on her hips. She wrapped her long legs around his waist, took one of his hands, and brought it to her breast. It filled his palm, firm and soft. He rolled her nipple between his finger and thumb, and Mel moaned into his mouth, making his swollen cock ache for release. She ran her hands along his chest and his abdomen, then stroked his throbbing cock.

  She broke their kiss and asked in a raspy voice, “Do you still want to try?”

  “Yes.” He nodded quickly, surprised by his lack of hesitation. “Oh yes.”

  Distantly he heard foil tearing behind him, and then started in surprise when strong hands reached around and rolled a condom over his dick.

  Then Melody took Jace in hand and skillfully guided him inside her body.

  Oh. My. God. His knees threatened to buckle under him. One deep stroke, and he was buried to the hilt, firmly encased in blistering liquid silk. Inside a woman, inside Melody. His best friend. His best girl friend. But she was more than that and always had been. He knew that now.

  Her body was hot and slick as it pulsed around him, tight but so incredibly smooth. The feeling was new. Different but intense, and he moaned as her heat clutched him.

  Cool, lube-slicked hands cupped his ass and divided his attention. His breath hitched in his throat, and a shiver charged through his pinging body. Alec kissed his shoulder blades as long sure fingers moved between his cheeks and deftly set to relaxing the tight ring of muscle.

  Alec moved with him as he slowly pumped into Mel. She arched her spine and threw her head back as Jace rocked forward, impaling her, then rocked back onto Alec’s fingers.

  Jace moaned in complaint when those fingers retreated. He heard foil tear behind him a second time, and then groaned with desire when the head of Alec’s thick cock pressed against his entrance. Alec pushed his way in slow and sure, stretching and filling him, until he was fully seated.

  “Oh. Mother. Mercy…” Jace ground out on the edge of sensation overload. The three of them stilled for an extended breath with him buried deep inside Mel and Alec deep inside him.

  “Feel good?” Alec’s words fanned a hot breath across Jace’s shoulder. He could only nod, having lost the ability to speak coherent words.

  Alec grabbed Mel’s ankles and pulled her legs around his waist, trapping Jace between them, and then he started to move. The three of them rocking, grinding, thrusting in erotic unison.

  How different but equally amazing his two lovers’ bodies were. Mel was an athlete with the body to prove it, but she was still feminine. Her highly toned body was still soft, her corners rounded. If she were a dance, she’d be an American waltz, a sensual glide across the dance floor. Alec’s hard body was unyielding, his corners sharp and defined. Where Mel was a smooth waltz, Alec was like a paso doble. He was the matador—passionate and strong—and completely in control.

  Jace loved it, loved it all.

  For ten years Melody had dreamed of this moment. Ten years she’d fantasized and longed for Jace to want her as more than just a best friend. Now that it was finally happening, she realized her every fantasy had paled miserably in comparison.

  He made love to her the same way he kissed: masterfully leading her in a graceful, sensual dance.

  He leaned over her, his arms braced on either side of her shoulders, holding himself up from crushing
her into the desk. He lowered his head, and she met him halfway, biting gently on his lower lip, pulling it into her mouth. Jace groaned and then broke away, throwing his head back. She watched, mesmerized, as every emotion he felt displayed across his beautiful face. A light sheen of sweat glistened on his skin.

  She dug her fingers into his biceps and tightened her legs around Alec’s waist, holding the three of them securely together.

  “I want to watch you come for him, Mel,” Alec growled roughly. His hands held her legs for leverage as he pounded into Jace. Then he nipped at Jace’s shoulder.

  The intensity and pace increased as all three of them raced for the edge. Jace shoved his hands under her bottom and lifted her hips up, better positioning himself to thrust harder into her. That one shift was all it took. Her body exploded, and her pussy clamped down on Jace’s cock. She shouted out his name as a blinding orgasm gripped her.

  She faintly heard Alec say “Yeah baby, that’s it,” and then Jace slammed into her on a guttural roar as Alec slammed into him and yelled.

  Jace collapsed over her, his body hot and sweaty. Then Alec wrapped his heaving body around Jace, and she was pinned beneath both men, their combined weight heavy against the unforgiving surface of the desk. But she wouldn’t dare complain and break the intimate bubble they were encased in. Her one dream had finally come true.

  All three were panting and heaving as they waited for their heart rates and breaths to slow. Overwhelming emotion welled deep inside her. This was right, the three of them together, the love they shared. A perfect union. She had Jace, and she had Alec.

  A rumbling stomach interrupted the peaceful post-orgasmic haze, and Melody groaned.

  “Oh my God. That can only be Alec.”

  “Oops.”

  She giggled; then they laughed in collective satisfaction.

  “Get off me, you beasts. I’m suffocating here.”

  Alec grabbed one of Mel’s hands, Jace held the other, and he led them upstairs. He and Mel had planned a whole night to convince Jace around to their way of thinking, but things hadn’t gone exactly as planned. They’d thought sex, if they got to it, would be last, not first.

  Alec grinned ear to ear. Damn, he was one lucky SOB. Watching Jace and Melody together had been the hottest thing he’d ever seen, and to be a part of that, with them… Yeah, life couldn’t get much better. Now he could explore all those fantasies he’d been harboring since he’d moved in.

  He led them into the main bathroom, where they stood shoulder to shoulder, looking at the glass-walled custom-built shower.

  “Well, it’s for sure too big for one,” Alec said, wondering if the three of them could fit.

  “Two can easily fit,” Mel added.

  “We need to knock out another wall and expand the bathroom,” Jace said.

  Alec and Mel both turned to Jace, who rolled his eyes and shrugged. “What? We need one big enough for all of us.”

  Mel stretched up and kissed him, then opened the door and stepped inside. “Well, come on, boys. Let’s see if this’ll work.”

  Alec and Jace stepped in behind her and shimmied their bodies so they were all in with Melody sandwiched between the two of them. Just enough room to maneuver.

  “Good enough, I say,” Alec chirped and flipped on the water. “Hurry up. I gotta eat.”

  After all parting to their respective rooms to dress, Alec headed for the kitchen wearing only boxers to meet up with his lovers. He found them already there and paused, leaning against the entry for a moment.

  Jace wore a pair of pajama bottoms, and Mel wore the matching top with girl boxers. Jace had his backside against the island with Mel wrapped up in his arms, their heads rested together. They were so beautiful together, and they were both his. A contented smile stretched across his face. He had everything he could ever want right there in front him.

  “Looks like I need to get me some matching pajamas,” he said, stepping forward. They both turned and graced him with warm smiles and loving eyes that made his chest swell.

  Yep, one seriously lucky SOB.

  Mel pulled out of Jace’s embrace and turned him toward the table. “You go sit. Alec and I prepared a feast for you.”

  Alec pulled a chair out for him. “Sit.”

  “Such a dom,” Jace joked, sitting down as Alec winked.

  He and Mel had set the table with every classy accessory they could find: crisp white tablecloth, burnt red silk placemats, Mel’s grandma’s best silver, and white candles centered around a dozen red roses.

  With all the flourish of a five-star restaurant waiter, Alec snapped out a cloth napkin and laid it in Jace’s lap, accidently on purpose brushing fingers over his groin, earning himself a playful slap on the wrist. Then he poured sparkling apple juice into a champagne glass and handed it to Jace.

  “Since you’re always cooking for us, we decided to join our considerable culinary talents and cook for you,” Melody said as she lowered a plate in front of him.

  Alec had to bite the inside of his lip to hold back laughter as he watched expressions of shock, disbelief, and horror play out on Jace’s face.

  On the plate were two sandwiches, cut into three fingers each and neatly stacked. They were accompanied by cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices.

  “Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? With veggies?”

  “Using all organic ingredients,” Mel said proudly.

  Jace looked up at both of them; his eyes sparkled as he fought to keep a straight face. Then his shoulders started shaking, and he gave up the fight. He tossed his head back and laughed heartily. Alec joined him, and after casting eye daggers on the two of them, Mel finally gave in.

  “It’s a good thing you two already have my heart, ’cause you sure wouldn’t get it through my stomach.”

  “Man, not even our one-day anniversary and already the complaining,” Mel shook her head in mock disapproval.

  “Truth, Hellz? No complaints here,” Jace said in a solemn tone.

  “Good,” Mel and Alec said over each other.

  She gave him and Jace a tremulous smile. “So, you guys ready for bed?”

  They stood looking blankly at each other for a moment. Clearly there were some details they’d have to work out with this new relationship of theirs.

  They settled on Jace’s room because it was the only clean one, and he had the biggest bed. Considering that Alec’s sheets were messy from last night, and Mel’s had been hit by Hurricane Hellody, the decision was easy.

  As they filed into his bedroom, Jace’s stomach did a nervous flip. Yeah, they had already done the deed, and it had been spectacular, but it was all still so new. And exciting.

  He wondered if they were going straight to sleep or—

  Mel lifted her arms and stripped her pajama off, tossing it on the floor. Her breasts were bare, pert nipples hard and begging to be touched. He swallowed hard and edged closer.

  “Damn, Mel. You’re gorgeous,” he breathed. He bent and took her nipple into his mouth, sucking deep. Her moan was cut off, and Jace glanced up to see her in a lip lock with Alec. His cock pulsed at the sight of them. He straightened and noted with a thrill that Alec was naked. Jace led them to the edge of the bed.

  “Lie down, Mel,” he whispered, a scene in his mind begging to be played out.

  Her pupils dilated, and she wet her lips, then nodded.

  “On my back?”

  “Yes.”

  She did.

  “Now take off your boxers,” Alec ground out.

  She raised her slim hips and slid them down her long legs, wriggling sensuously until they were around her ankles, then kicked them away.

  She gave them each a challenging stare as she lay beneath their heated gazes, naked and proud.

  “What now?”

  “Now? Alec is going to eat your pussy while I suck him off.”

  Mel’s lips formed an O, and she quivered lightly, her chest rising and falling faster.

  Alec placed a hand on each
of her trim ankles and slid them slowly, excruciatingly upward. Jace bent to kiss her as Alec caressed her thighs, spreading them. He teased her lips with his tongue, loving the fullness of her mouth against his, so different from a man’s. She twitched, then tensed and sucked his tongue hard. Alec had clearly found his mark. Jace’s cock jerked in response as Mel’s kiss grew fevered. He slid his hands to her breasts, teasing her nipples with a light caress, and she moaned into his mouth, then broke away.

  “Damn, it’s almost too much,” she groaned.

  Power and elation soared through him as he continued to caress her. He watched from the pillow as Alec worked her with his tongue, alternately lapping at her pussy, then burying his face deep between her thighs. His cock grew painfully hard.

  Jace crawled to the bottom of the big bed, working his way to Alec’s side. He squeezed his hip, and Alec shifted to his side, turning his head to stay in contact with Mel. Alec’s cock bobbed before him, a scant inch from his mouth. Jace snaked out his tongue, licking a bead of moisture from the head. Alec groaned into Mel’s pussy and flexed his hips. Again, Jace licked him, this time a long, slow slide of tongue, then sucked the swollen head into his mouth as Alec arched helplessly toward him.

  Jace accepted his invitation and began to suck in earnest, pulling his thick cock deep, until it touched the back of his throat. Alec shouted then and began to pump his hips in a frenzied rhythm. Jace moaned deep in his throat as his own cock leaped in response.

  “Flip this way, Jace,” Mel commanded, her voice thick with need. “I want you in my mouth.”

  Alec shifted so that his body was perpendicular to Mel’s, his mouth never leaving her. Jace released him with a sucking pop as he flipped his own body to line his hips up with Mel’s mouth. They formed a perfect love triangle. Jace smiled to himself, until Mel’s plump lips closed around him, and all thought fled.

  She gripped him in her soft hand and stroked him up and down as she sucked, and his cock surged. He wrapped his mouth around Alec and began to suck as well, closing his eyes and allowing the sensation to overtake him.
