Chapter 7

Ihad plans to try out the boxing workout on my new Smart setup in the home gym. So far I liked the interval training and the adaptive strength training features, but I wanted to mix it up, try something new. I took a detour to check on our guest first, to see if Jasmine was settling in okay and if she needed anything.

When I reached her door to knock, it was partly open, the lights on. I looked in, and instead of finding her anxious and pale, tucked into bed listening to a crime podcast, I saw her Vigilance polo and pants on the floor, part of a trail of clothing leading to the bed where I saw her long legs wrapped around my youngest brother. They were tangled up on top of the comforter, his mouth on her throat and a hand covering her breast, her head thrown back in a soft cry of pleasure. I cleared my throat.

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay in here," I said wryly.

She looked at me, her eyes bright and her face flushed. She bit her lip and nodded. "I asked him to stay with me," she explained. I nodded.

Now that I knew this was her idea, that she wasn't feeling pressured, that it wasn't a case of him taking advantage of our friend when she was vulnerable, I could back away and go to my room. Where I would have to postpone that planned workout to take myself in hand and get some relief, hard and fast by the feel of it.

My heart was pounding and I felt drawn tight, frantic, as if I had just done something incredibly naughty and enticing at the same time. Instead of being bothered by the sight of my brother with one of our employees, I let myself admit that it looked hot. The sight of Jasmine's strong bare leg, the thigh hitched up over Ty's hip, had made me feel like I was being strangled.

I backed out the door, ready to close it behind me when Jasmine got up and hurried to me.

"Wait," she said. "I need to ask you something."

She was giving me way too much credit. I had just watched her sit up and come toward me, wearing just her panties. Her full, round breasts were bare. She held them, hands covering her nipples, but the sight undid me. If she thought I could answer a question, she was sorely mistaken.

All the blood in my body had abandoned my brain in favor of rushing to engorge the most painful hard on of my life. I gritted my teeth against it, flexed my fingers as if to let off some of the tension boiling in me.

Jasmine came right up to me, crowding in close. I was beyond speech, nothing but pure, animal want coursing through me. I held myself back, but I needed to get out of there as fast as possible. I waited for her to ask her question. I had no faith in my own ability to provide a verbal answer though.

She reached for me, and I blinked wondering if I was hallucinating. Was it possible to be so turned on that you saw things? The touch of her lips on mine, her hands on my face jolted me. I gathered her to me, desperate, and gave her a steamy kiss. I made sure to lick my tongue inside her mouth the exact way I wanted to lap at her pussy. I whispered it against her mouth in case she liked the image of my mouth on her, those long legs over my shoulders. Her breasts spilled into my hands and I fondled them like I was gathering up a hoard of gold I'd just discovered, greedy and wonderstruck.

"I want you, Drew. I have since the minute I met you," she said, her pupils blown wide, her voice shaking with arousal or fear or both.

I glanced at my brother and saw him nod agreement.

"Could I join you? Let both of us pleasure you tonight?"

"God yes," she said, breathless.

I felt like I'd won the damn lottery. I picked her up off her feet and kissed her, slamming up against the wall in my haste. She wound her arms and legs around me, moaning her approval at being manhandled a little. I worked over her mouth, kissed her neck, then took in her beautiful breasts. I couldn't take my eyes off them. She took my hands and put them on her. "Touch me, please," she said.

"There is nothing I want more, if you're sure you want to do this."

"More than anything, Drew," she whispered, and I swept her back into my arms, mouth covering hers while I palmed her breast, rubbing and squeezing her warm flesh. She pulled me toward the bed to join them.
