his hips. Just a nudge, but the heavy drag of his cock inside her sparked through every cell in her body. Her eyes flew open, briefly focused on Case, and then drifted closed again. The bed shifted as Eli rolled onto his side, stretching out beside them. She turned her face to him, and he cupped her cheek. Eli kissed her tenderly, his tongue licking into her mouth even as Jack began to move, withdrawing with devastating slowness and then returning in a smooth deep slide.
“You feel incredible,” Jack said, his voice rough. “Thank you for this.”
She wanted to tell him there was no need for thanks. That this was about sharing pleasure, not giving it away. She hadn’t asked for this out of pity or obligation. But she couldn’t say any of that with Eli’s tongue in her mouth. She made a small noise in her throat, half moan, half growl, and could only hope he got the message.
Jack’s hand was a heavy weight on the small of her back, his cock firm and unyielding inside her. The sway and pull of his body caused her breasts to drag against the soft bed coverings with exquisite friction. Eli’s mouth was so wet and warm. And she could feel all of those disparate sensations coalescing together into one swelling force, lifting her, making her whole body hum. It was a pleasure so sharp and pure she trembled with the effort to hold on to it. She wanted to hold on to this feeling forever.
Eli moved his hand from her face to slide it between her body and the mattress, searching for her clit. She froze when his fingers brushed against her damp curls and then delved deeper, sliding inside her pussy. He lightly explored her, sliding his fingers against the thin wall separating him from Jack. Jack groaned and Eli withdrew slightly, turning his hand to rest his thumb on the hood of her clit. All the coiled pleasure she’d been clinging to so desperately slipped from her control.
It blew her apart. Vaguely, she was aware of the tight grip of Jack’s hands on her hips, his sharp, deep thrusts and the hot wash of his seed. But she was consumed with her own orgasm that seemed to last forever. Her eyes squeezed shut. Eli continued to kiss her, swallowing her scream as her body shook with release. When she finally came back to herself, she’d collapsed onto the bed.
Eli was to one side of her. Smiling, he lazily stroked her back. Jack curled against her other side. He buried his face in the side of her neck, his breath still harsh and uneven. She wrapped her fingers around his bicep, and he shifted closer to her, murmuring her name. She’d never felt so sated. So safe and protected. So accepted and loved. She fell asleep with a smile on her lips and peace in her heart.
Chapter Three
When she woke, Eli was snoring lightly. Jack was no longer in bed, and Case was missing too. It was nearly dawn. The room was still dark, but through the gap in the curtains she could see the sky, painted with a pale wash of light and color. Still half-asleep, Eli rolled onto his side to face her. He needed a shave. His beard was almost as thick as Jack’s. When she touched his cheek with her fingertips, he cracked open one eye.
“The heat back already?”
“No.”
“Then you should sleep while you can.”
She moved her shoulder in a shrug and snuggled closer. The bed was warm, but they’d fallen asleep on top of the blankets and her side was cold. Eli wrapped an arm around her, and she sighed in contentment.
“This is nice—not worrying about the heat. Where did everyone go?”
“Case left early to track down Declan. He’s still not answering his phone.”
She must have slept right through Case leaving. She felt unaccountably hurt that he hadn’t said good-bye. The last she’d seen of him he’d been watching her and Jack with wolfish eyes and a hard, hungry look on his face. She fought down a surge of embarrassment and arousal.
“Jack?” she asked.
“He shifted and went for a run. Probably checking the perimeter of our
