“Why are you okay with this?” He countered, glancing around us, keeping himself aware of his surroundings in the crowded bar, before looking back down at me directly, “Why are you okay with giving yourself for just a small part of someone else in return?”
“Because that’s all I want.” I swallowed, trying to muster up the courage to act tough like I’d been doing every day of my life. “I want nothing more than simple fun.”
“Well then,” He nodded and picked up the bucket of beers and the bottle of whiskey that had materialized in front of me during our conversation, “I guess we understand each other a little better now.”
“I guess so.” I moved to duck around him as he gave me a little breathing room, but he stopped me with his hand flat on my stomach as he tilted his head down to be directly in my line of sight.
“Make no mistake, Alexi,” He spoke my name like a lover would, and I hated it, “At the end of the day, Hannah is ours. And we’re willingly sharing her with you because we know that there isn’t a chance in hell of it destroying what we’ve spent a decade building. But if I think for even one minute that you’re in this for the wrong reasons,” He clenched his teeth together and the muscles along the side of his face tensed, “I’ll fucking destroy every single thing you have. Understand?”
I panted under the intensity of his warning. Who the fuck did he think he was, going from the protecting oaf who declared to love his girl more than anything in the world while physically holding me to his body, to the dominating asshole I knew he really was that only cared about being in control.
“Got it.” I gritted out between my own clenched teeth. Once again, he pulled the power card and put me back in my place.
Well, now I had a renewed needed to show Brody fucking Sinclair just who was in charge.
Because it sure as fuck wasn’t him.
“Corner pocket.” I declared, pointing to the one directly between Hannah’s thighs as she leaned against the table, watching me play.
I pulled back and gently tapped the ball, sending it directly where I wanted, and the smile she gave me was the perfect reward for it.
The girl loved playing pool, and she made the game seem so sensual even though there was no physical touch occurring with each shot taken.
“Good shot.” She purred across the table as she tipped a beer back against her perfect pink lips.
“Let’s up the ante.” Knox announced, nudging me with his shoulder as he stood next to me, “Make tonight a little more interesting.”
“What did you have in mind?” I questioned, glancing over at Hannah as she turned her attention to Brody, where he sat against the wall at a table. Silently asking permission from him.
“Truth or dare.” Knox grinned deviously. “If you make a pocket, you get to pick a person to go. One shot at a time.”
“We’re in a public bar.” I raised my eyebrows at him, “I don’t know what kind of truth or dare you play, but mines not very decent.”
“We’re on the second floor.” He nodded out to the crowd below. “Stand far enough back from the edge and you can hide.”
I rolled my eyes at him, down for whatever either way, and looked at Hannah. “You decide.”
“I lost the last time I played a game of stakes against you.”
“In the end, I think you won.” Flashbacks assaulted me, and I could taste her skin on my lips and hear the noises she made as she came.
She licked her lips and then reached down the side of the table and hit the button to release the balls back to be racked. “I go first.”
She wanted to play. And I wanted nothing more than to play with her.
“Game on.” I whistled, walking around her, brushing her with my body as I grabbed for the triangle. “I can’t wait to see what kind of nefarious dares you come up with.”
“I’d be careful tempting the devil.” Knox chuckled. “One time, she made me do the naked mile down Main Street of our hometown.” He shook his head, “At noon.”
“Cruel.” I grinned at her, where she shrugged with a smirk. “I like it.”
“He’s hung and has a ten pack.” She joked, “He had nothing worth hiding.”
“Hmm.” I hummed, racking the balls, trying desperately not to remember just how hung Knox was from our night together. The way his cock filled my hand when she tricked me as she moved on to Brody, tempted me.
She took the balls and set them how she liked them and then walked around the table in her sexy little pink outfit. It matched her personality perfectly, and it was alarming how much I liked both of them. Pink had never been my color before. Yet tonight, I wanted to bathe in her pink.
“Something tells me we’re going to regret this.” Knox leaned over my shoulder and whispered to me as she bent over the table and lined up a shot to break the balls.
“I think she’ll make it up to us.” She landed a solid in a pocket and grinned at us as she stood back up.
“Lex. Truth or dare?” She held her pool stick to the side of her body and stared right at me.
“Dare. For you, every single time.” I replied confidently.
“Kiss me.” Her voice was breathy, and I could feel the switch in her demeanor as she took a mostly friendly and kind of flirty game of pool and turned it into the gateway she needed to initiate physical contact.
“If you want a kiss,” I said, my voice laced with a playful invitation, “come and get it.” I would have gone to her, but I wanted to make her positively melt and didn’t want the bar below to get the free show. I pulled her body flush against mine and then I guided her until Knox and I sandwiched her between us. He was a giant and shielded us from any prying eyes as I leaned in to give her the reward she chose.
I licked her bottom lip before seductively sucking on it and kissed her like my life depended on it. She moaned and ran her tongue against mine, nibbling on my lip in return. I growled and pushed forward until our hips were grinding together as I wrapped my hands around the back of her neck, kissing down the side of it as she leaned against Knox for support.
Once again, I left Brody out for the fun of it. It didn’t appear Knox minded as he started kissing the other side of her neck, each of us teasing her until she gasped and held onto me like she was teetering on the edge of a cliff and needed support.
Needed us. I never wanted to share a woman with a man before. Yet with Knox, it intensified everything, knowing he was making her feel good at the same time.
“The noises you make when I touch you drive me wild.” I bit her earlobe as she buried her fingers in my hair, holding me to her. “I want to make you come again. It’s all I can think about.”
