Triple Beat-nook(21)

So much for pennies. She was definitely looking at pounds.

Bryson wrapped his hand around the back of her neck, drawing her attention to him. “Don’t look so nervous, bird.”

She grinned at his term of endearment. They’d taken to calling her their songbird in the early days of their association, but somewhere along the line that had been shortened to simply bird. It comforted her.

She tore open the foil wrapper, her hands shaking as she reached out for Aiden. He gripped her wrists to steady her, and together they slid the condom over his erection.

Aiden glanced at Bryson, who waved his hand, silently giving Aiden the green light to go first.

Aiden guided Dani to her back, coming over her. He kept his motions slow, giving her time to change her mind.

She loved him for that.

Love. That wasn’t a new emotion in regards to Aiden and Bryson. They were her best friends. Her love for them had been there for a long time.

But this was different. The feeling had morphed somehow. Changed. It was stronger. More overwhelming. Frightening in a way, where before it had only felt like comfortable old shoes or jeans that had been broken in just right.

Now? Now it felt exciting, exhilarating, dangerous and terrifying. It no longer felt like something she’d never let go of as much as something it would kill her to lose.

If Aiden was experiencing the same, he didn’t show it. He knelt between her legs, his face only a few inches above hers.

Her lungs seized when she felt the head of his cock brush against the opening of her body. Aiden held her gaze, his eyes capturing hers, keeping her steady. That was when she saw it—spotted the tiniest speck of fear behind the deep blue. He knew they were on the verge of something big.

“Dani.” He leaned down to kiss her softly. “I don’t know if this is a mistake or not, but I can’t help myself, can’t convince myself to stop and think. Right now, it feels right.”

She nodded. “It does. So maybe it is.”

He closed his eyes then, her words reassuring him. She wished they’d had the same effect on her. Her heart was racing, pounding.

She wouldn’t lose them. She couldn’t.

Aiden slowly slid in, his long cock stroking, seeking, finding every hot spot along the way. And then, he was there. Buried deep.

He kissed her cheek and gave her the same playful smile he’d been tossing her way for years. Then he shook his head. “Jesus. What the hell are we doing?” There was no regret in his voice. Instead, he sounded far too pleased with what was most likely very poor judgment.

She grinned. “I’m not an expert, but I’m pretty sure it’s called f*cking.”

Bryson dropped down onto the bed next to them. Though he’d been quietly watching, Dani hadn’t forgotten his presence for a second.

Bryson’s hand was stroking his own thick erection. “I think the right word is stalling. Christ, man. Get on with it or get out. My cock is aching.”

Dani rolled her eyes. “I think I’ve spotted the mistake. We put the king of impatience second in the line-up.”

Aiden laughed, the response sending his cock deeper. They both gasped. “Fuck, Dani.”

He’d been trying to resist. Like her, he probably thought his brain would kick in any minute, but Dani could see now that wasn’t going to happen.

“Do it,” she whispered.

Aiden took the permission granted and drove every remaining cognizant thought from her head. He was known for being the methodical one in the group, the man with a plan who proceeded slowly, with careful forethought. Dani had always thought he’d missed his calling, telling him he was born to be a scientist.

Sometimes that drove her nuts when they were working on a new song or planning their performance schedule because it meant everything took twice as long as details were examined and double-checked. That same annoyance did not carry over into the bedroom.

Aiden was the most attentive lover she’d ever had. He listened to her moans and groans and had her number in less than five minutes. Dani felt the first twinges of her orgasm way too early in the dance. She’d never come so quickly and never without helping the climax along herself. Aiden seemed to know her body better than she did.

When he found a magic little spot inside her that she didn’t know existed, she gasped and gripped his upper arms, her body tingling.

He leaned closer and whispered in her ear. “Got you,” he teased seductively.

Hook, line and sinker.
