  "Something like that," she muttered. "Okay, okay, Ill leave him alone. I have bigger fish to fry anyway. "

  He pulled into her apartment complex and cut the engine. For a moment he sat there just staring over at her with those complex, deep brown eyes.

  "You know, Julie, someday a mans going to tame you. I just hope Im around to see it. "

  "Ha!" she said as she opened her door. "Ill make a bet that a woman knocks you down a few notches before a man ever tames me. "

  He held out his hand with a smug grin. "Deal. "

  She took it and stared back just as hard. "What are the stakes?"

  "If you win, you get me, any way you want me. If I win, I get you. Any way I want you. "

  She took her hand back and crossed her arms over her chest. "Theres just one problem with your stakes, slick. "

  "Oh? And whats that?"

  "If youre tamed, your girly might have a thing or two to say about me having you any way I want you. If Im tamed, the guy in question sure as hell wont appreciate having a third in the mix. Im not saying Id mind," she added saucily.

  "Dont be so sure of that," he said, a glint in his eyes. "As I have no intention of losing the bet, all we have to worry about is this guy whos going to tame you. My guess is, hes not going to mind allowing me my winnings. "

  “Cunt instruction manual?" Nathan bit out. "An instruction manual?"

  Nathan slammed the truck door and stomped around to the front of the truck to meet Micah and to head into the building that housed the Malone and Sons offices.

  Micah chuckled. "Yeah, she was pretty clear on wanting a guy who didnt need an instruction manual to satisfy her. "

  "Ill show her instruction manual," Nathan gritted out.

  God, but the woman was making him crazy. Why was he letting her get to him so bad? It wasnt just the blow job—though, damn, the feisty little wench was good with her mouth.

  "Have you and Damon talked about this weekend?" Micah asked.

  Nathan looked around and frowned. Faith wasnt in her office, but that didnt mean Gray or Connor wasnt skulking around. Or Pop even. He shuddered at the idea of Pop overhearing this conversation.

  "Relax, man. Connor and Gray are out with Pop on a job. "

  "And what are we doing here again?"

  "Picking up the paperwork for our job, and then were going to head south. Youre a grumpy son of a bitch when youre not getting laid, let me tell you. "

  "How the hell would you know whether Im getting laid or not?" Nathan growled. "Jesus, why are we talking about this?"

  Micah laughed as he rummaged around on Faiths desk. "Aha! Here it is. Lets make tracks. We can talk on the way. "

  "Whats turned you into such a chatty bastard?" Nathan asked when theyd gotten back into Micahs truck. He scowled when Micah cracked his window and started digging for a cigarette.

  "Damn it. Smoked my last one with Julie. "

  "What the hell were you doing smoking with Julie? She doesnt smoke. Does she?"

  A smug grin creased Micahs face. Then he reached over to open the glove box. Shit fell out between Nathans knees.

  "There is a God," Micah breathed as he pulled out a smashed package of cigarettes.

  "Get a damn patch or something. "

  Micah stuck a cigarette between his lips and fished in his pocket for a lighter. "So you didnt answer my question. Have you talked to Damon about this weekend or are you just going to let Julie go?"

  "Fuck you. Im not letting her go anywhere but to bed with me. "

  "So you have talked to Damon then. I take it he agreed?"

  "Not exactly," Nathan muttered.

  Micah turned to blow his smoke out the window. "Will you quit being so damned closemouthed and just spill it?"

  "He feels his first obligation is to Julie. "

  "Imagine that," Micah said dryly.

  "Cut the sarcasm," Nathan said with a scowl. "She wants a threesome. An anonymous threesome, with her blindfolded!"

  It was all he could do to get the words out. Was she just trying to get herself hurt? He didnt give a damn how tight Damons security was or that they had video surveillance on the private rooms all the time. It would only take a few seconds to hurt her or kill her, and there wouldnt be a damn thing Damon or his people could do about it.

  "Why does that bother you so much?" Micah asked with a sideways look.

  Nathans mouth fell open. Then he snapped it shut. "Damon doesnt have a problem with vetting me to be one of her guys. But I insisted that Id be the only man in that damn room with her, and he said that he felt obligated to fulfill Julies wishes. "

  Micah shrugged. "So? Have a threesome with her. Come on, man. You cant tell me youve never fantasized about fucking a woman while another man is fucking her too. Hell, you watch porn. Half that shit is a bona fide gang bang. "

  "Would you stand by and let another man touch what you considered yours?" Nathan asked calmly.

  Something dark and predatory flashed in Micahs eyes. "As long as she belonged to me? Yeah, its a huge turn-on. "

  "Youve had threesomes?"

  Whoa, this conversation was heading into serious cringe territory. Next theyd be comparing dick sizes.

  "You never have?" Micah countered.

  "Hell, you act as though its some natural function, as normal as having sex with a woman. Most men get on their knees and thank God if a woman will sleep with them, much less you and another guy. "

  Micah laughed. "Women tend to like being the object of so much attention. Two men devoted to making sure she has the most mindless pleasure shes ever experienced?"

  "So its more about the woman?"

  Shit, there he went again, sounding like some damn amateur. A blush stole over his cheeks, and he turned to look out the window before Micah could see him and give him hell.

  Hed had sex. Lots of sex, damn it. Okay, maybe not that much. Still, hed been around the block more than a few times, but now his experiences seemed pretty dull compared to the crap Micah was talking about.

  "Well, yes and no," Micah said seriously. "Its all about pleasuring her, watching her go wild. In turn its a huge turn-on for a man. I mean what guy doesnt get a serious charge out of rocking a womans world?"

  He had a point there. It wasnt like a guy ever wanted to be a complete failure in bed.

  "So she really wants this threesome," Nathan said painfully.

  "Dont take it personally. If youve never been to bed with her, its not as if shes sending you a message or anything. "

  "Oh, shes sending one, all right. "

  "So are you going to agree to the threesome or not? Doesnt sound like Damons going to give you much of a choice. And hell, dude, have you even given this any thought? Blindfolded or not, shes going to figure out its you really damn quick with your bald head and goatee. Youre going to need a distraction for her. "

  "Or just tie her damn hands to the bed," Nathan muttered.

  Micah laughed. "Well that would be my vote, but I hear thats not what she wants at all. I think it would offend her not-so-meek sensibilities. "

  "You sound like you know an awful lot about her," Nathan said quietly.

  "I like all women, Nathan. Dont get your panties in a wad. Its not like Im trying to move in on your woman. You want her. I get it. Doesnt mean I dont have eyes or a dick and that they both dont come to attention when shes around. "

  "Then maybe youd be a perfect third in this threesome she wants. "

  Micah tossed his cigarette out the window and cast Nathan a sidelong glance. "Let me get this straight. You want me to be the other guy?"

  Nathan shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "Well, if you want the truth, I dont want there to a third person in this equation. I mean, shit, when did sex get so goddamn complicated? But if thats what she wants and if thats the only way I get into the picture, then yeah, Id prefer it to be you over some stranger. At least I wouldnt have to worry about your intentions. " />
  Micah nodded. "All right. If thats what you want, Ill let Damon know. Im already a member there, so itll be just you he has to do all the checking up on. "

  "This is for the birds," Nathan grumbled. "Seriously. It didnt used to be this difficult to get into a womans pants. Now there are security and background checks. Kinky checklists. "

  Micah chuckled. "The House should be quite an experience for you. Ill suggest to Damon that he give you a tour before this weekend just so youll know what youre getting into. "

  "He said she wanted a private room. Just her and the two guys. "

  "Yeah, but you have to get to that private room. "

  "Great. Just great. "

  "Dont be such a pussy. "

  "Hey, fuck you," Nathan growled, but he grinned and shook his head.

  This was going to be painful. Hell, it already was. The last thing he wanted to do was get naked in front of one of his best friends and then let that best friend fuck the woman hed been fantasizing about for months.

  But there was something edgy and forbidden about the images flashing in his mind. Watching her come apart between him and Micah? Giving her more pleasure than she could stand?

  Yeah, it was a turn-on, but then everything about Julie did it for him. She was an earthy woman, shorter, full figured with hips and an ass that just cried out for a mans hands.

  And her breasts. Sweet Jesus, her breasts were mouthwateringly perfect, and he ought to know because hed seen them often enough in his fantasies. Round with a generous swell. He hadnt seen her nipples, and he was positively dying to get them into his mouth.

  He wanted to bury his face right in the valley between the generous mounds. She had to be at least a double D, and Lord but that excited him.

  No, he wouldnt be able to feel her ribs, or get poked by her bones. But shed be soft in all the right places, and he couldnt wait to bury himself inside her pussy over and over.

  She was, in a word, stacked. Built like a brick house. Voluptuous. Hed have his hands full with her in more ways than one, and he couldnt goddamn wait.

  Chapter 6

  “I’m nervous. Why am I nervous?"

  Julie looked between Faith and Serena, who stood in her bathroom watching as Julie did her hair.

  "And why am I worried so goddamn much about hair?" she muttered. "Like its not going to get messed up?"

  Faith giggled, and Serena just rolled her eyes in the mirror.

  "Come on, Julie, its okay. Id be terrified," Serena said.

  "So says the woman who auctioned herself off—naked—in front of a roomful of horny men," Julie pointed out.

  "You want to look good. Its natural," Faith said soothingly. "I wouldnt want to look like a hag in front of men who were seeing me naked. "

  "Hag?" Julie croaked.

  Serena patted her on the arm. "It s just a figure of speech. "

  Julie set down the comb and the hairspray and sighed. "You know why Im doing this?"

  "Uh, does it have something to do with the naked thing?" Faith asked.

  "I saw my ex in the grocery store last night. "

  "Which ex?" Serena asked.

  Julie pinned her with a glare. "Does it matter? He was with his new girlfriend. Okay, hes an old ex. Im not hung up on him or anything. It was his girlfriend who pissed me off. "

  "Want me to kick her ass?" Serena asked with a grin.

  Julie smooched at her reflection in the mirror. "No, but we can hope she trips and breaks an ankle, cant we?"

  Faith laughed. "So what did she do?"

  Julie picked up the comb again and pushed at a strand of hair that kept falling over her forehead. "So Im at the grocery store, I round the corner of the bread aisle, and there he is with Miss Thing on his arm. He smiles and says hello. I smile back and say hello. Miss Thing looks at me once, and she dismisses me like Im not a threat. Just like that. "

  "She didnt!" Serena gasped in mock horror.

  Julie gave her a mournful look. "I mean, lets face it, most of the time if youre with your guy and you see his ex, you get all prickly. You start sizing her up. Is she prettier than me? Is he looking at her? Was she better in bed? Is he still hung up on her? The claws come out. But no. Miss Thing actually smiled at me. This smug, superior smile that said Im prettier than you, Im thinner than you, Ill always be better than you. Then she all but sneered at me when he introduced us and she had this look like, he dated you? Really?"

  Faith wrapped an arm around her shoulders and squeezed tight. "Her boobs were probably fake, and I bet her roots were showing. "

  Julie shook against her with laughter. "God, I love you guys, but damn, cant you let me wallow for two seconds?"

  "No wallowing," Serena said stoutly.

  "Why arent I a threat?" Julie asked mournfully.

  "I lock Gray down every time you walk into the room," Faith said solemnly.

  Julie rolled her eyes. "I wanted to tell her that I could have her man any time I wanted, and that she was probably a cold fish in bed, but then I remembered, she has him, I dont, so that argument wasnt going to cut it. "
