Chapter 17

M ick grabbed his overnight backpack and followed Adam and Conner out the door of the private jet. It had been a long four days in Maui, but both he and Adam had made a good amount of money. One more week on another job in Kauai, and they would have enough money saved up for a vacation.

“It seems like we've been gone for weeks,” Adam said.

Mick nodded, knowing exactly what he had been talking about. They’d always had each other, and while they often took separate jobs, having someone waiting for them at home made a difference. Just knowing that Serenity was there waiting for them had his libido humming. It also warmed his heart. She had added a dimension to their relationship that had taken them by surprise.

“Next week you're going with Jake,” Conner said as they approached their vehicles. “I'm staying close to home for the next few weeks.”

“Yeah. I wouldn't want to deal with Jillian going into labor and you being on another island. Somehow, I think we might get blamed for it.”

Conner chuckled. “More than likely. See y'all later.”

“Sure thing.”

Mick climbed into the passenger seat as Adam started up the SUV.

They drove out of the airport up onto H-1 in the direction of Pali Highway.

“I am so fucking tired,” Adam said.

“Yeah. We might be getting too old for this.”

He smiled as he sped around a pokey sedan. “Why don't you call Serenity and let her know we're back on the island?”

He said nothing for a moment, which gained him a side glance from Mick. “What?”

“Nothing.”

“No. That silence meant something, especially coming from you. You are never quiet.”

“Fuck off,” he said with little heat. “I'm just happy you seem to be accepting Serenity.”

“I never said I didn't accept her. I just worry that everything happened so fast, that she might get overwhelmed.”

He nodded as he called her. She answered on the second ring.

“Hey,” she said, her voice husky with sleep. “Whatcha doing?”

“We just landed. Adam wanted me to let you know.”

“Okay.”

“You were sleeping?”

“Yeah. No. I'm not sure.”

He chuckled. “Go back to sleep.”

“'kay. Love you guys.”

Then she hung up the phone. Adam took the Pali Highway exit and still, Mick hadn't hung up the phone.

“What?” he asked.

“Nothing, just she was sleepy. Never mind.”

“No, something happened.”

Mick hesitated, thinking about the words again. “She told me she loved us.”

Adam blinked. “Loved us?”

“Yes, she said, ‘love you guys,’ then she hung up.”

A car horn sounded behind them, so Adam snapped out of it and turned onto the highway.

“She was asleep when you called?”

“I think so. If not, pretty dammed close.”

“Uh.”

“Yeah.”

At first, there were no feelings at all. He was stunned. She hadn't given him any inkling that she had those feelings. Sure, there was that connection in bed, but she hadn't said a word about it.

“What's wrong?” Adam asked.

“It's kind of fast.”

“Really? You’re worried about this going too fast? Are you kidding me?”

Joy danced around the edges of his heart, but there was also worry. Did she really love them or was she just half asleep and not knowing any better? Or maybe, she was confusing lust with love.

“It figures you're having second thoughts.”

“And you don't?”

He shrugged. “Not really. I told you. There was this connection with her. We both said we felt it.”

But did they feel it because it was real, or was it because they wanted to feel it? That she made them feel so good because together they made a good threesome?

“Hey, babe, stop worrying.”

He glanced at Adam. “That's usually my line.”

“Truth is, you're worrying because this is real. Before it was always just for fun, but now things are real. We aren't just hooking up for a good time.”

“I guess so.”

“I know so. Stop worrying. That's usually my job.”

He chuckled. “Yeah I guess so.”

“And don't let it mess up tonight. I know both of us have been hankering for her.”

That much was true. They'd been so tired on the job that they had fallen into bed together and not done much of anything else. Still, without her there, it felt like something was missing. That had never happened before.

“I guess so. But she was sleeping.”

“Like we would let that stop us. I can't wait to sink inside of her.”

Just hearing Adam put his own thoughts into words had his cock twitching. They’d made love every night they were gone, but as he had thought before, there had been something missing. Even when they were just sleeping, he knew both he and Adam had missed having Serenity in bed with them.

“Okay, I'll stop worrying, at least for tonight.”

It was so late that it only took them another twenty minutes to make it back to the house. Adam parked the SUV in front of their house. Mick slipped out of the vehicle, then grabbed his overnight bag out of the backseat. He started to follow Adam up the steps to the house, but stopped.

It didn’t feel right. And that was what had been freaking him out. Being in their house together, in this one and the ones they had lived in before this one had been one of the comforting feelings Mick had had. Now, it wasn’t the same if Serenity wasn’t there.

That one thought should have freaked him out a little. He liked to jump before thinking. It had worked for him in the past. Ignoring all those warnings, he made an easy decision.

“Hey, take this,” he said waiting for Adam to turn around before he tossed the bag toward him.

He turned on his heel and strode to her house. When he reached her front door, it was locked, of course. He knocked on it. Something crashed to the floor and then he heard a very grumpy Serenity cussing.

She opened the door. Her hair was a mess of curls on top of her head and she was wearing an old tank top with lettering so faded he couldn’t read it. It skimmed her thighs, and he noticed she was only wearing panties with it.

“What?”

She didn’t look like a woman who was welcoming one of her lovers home.

And in that instant, he knew he loved her. It had really crept up on him. Mick felt almost blindsided with the revelation.

“So, you just decided to knock on my door and stand there like an imbecile?”

That grumpy voice, along with her appearance, made it impossible to hold back. He grabbed her, then cupped her face with his hands. He couldn’t say the words, not yet. So, he dipped his head down and kissed her. Even irritated with him, she didn’t hesitate. Opening her mouth to him, she wrapped her arms around his neck. Slipping his hands down her body, he lifted her against him. Again, no hesitation. She wrapped her legs around his waist.

The kiss was sexual, but it was also so much more. He poured his feelings into it, letting her know without words what he felt. He wanted her. In their bed, and in their lives.

When he finally pulled back, they were both breathing heavily.

“Come home with us.”

She peeked over his shoulder and he knew without looking that Adam was here. Then, she met his gaze again and gave him a small smile. “Of course.”

Adam grabbed her keys and phone, locked the door to her house, and followed Mick as he carried her back to their house.

He set her on the bed, then shed his clothes. Adam joined them. There was no play, no real plan. It seemed as if Adam could read his mind. This was about Serenity.

They stripped her of her clothes. Mick kissed his way down her body and settled between her legs. She was wet, ready for them to take her. It was amazing that just that little bit of foreplay--if anyone would call it that--could get her so aroused.

He set his mouth on her pussy, sliding his tongue along her dripping slit before he stole inside for a taste.

Fuck. Fuck. So damned perfect.

She moaned as he continued to lick her. Adam moved to her breasts, taking one nipple in his mouth as he pinched and teased the other. Mick lifted his head for a minute as he watched his lovers. Heat seared through his veins. As he continued to watch them, he slipped a finger into her damp passage.

“Oh, God,” she murmured as she bowed up off the bed.

Adam moved on to her other breast, sucking it hard into his mouth. As he did that, Mick kept his gaze on the two of them while he lowered his head. He added another finger, then used his tongue to tease her clit. She shivered in reaction.

Mick watched Adam again. That arousal, that need struck him hard. This wasn't the typical lust Adam had for a woman they brought to bed. He was in love with Serenity also.

“Let me have a taste,” Adam said, as he leaned down to kiss Mick.

Adam hummed as he drew Mick's tongue into his mouth.

He pulled back. “So fucking good.”

Then they both set on her pussy once again. Mick pulled his fingers out of her, allowing Adam to lean down and slip his tongue between her pink lips.

Mick watched for a moment, relishing the image of Adam's dark head between her white thighs.

He looked up at Serenity, who was lost in the moment, her eyes closed, her moans growing louder by the moment. He knew from experience, she was close. He wanted to hear that, to watch it, but he also wanted to feel it.

“Hey, Adam.”

Adam gave her one long last lick before he pulled back. Again, he kissed Mick, then sat up. He grabbed a couple of condoms, tossing one to Mick. Adam took the lube and covered his finger with it. Mick laid on the bed, then drew her over him. He didn't hesitate. He thrust into her to the hilt. She groaned and arched her back.

“Do you think you can take both of us?”

“Yessss,” she said.

Adam slipped a finger between her cheeks, then he slowly entered her.

“Goddamnit,” Adam said. “She’s fucking good.”

“Are you okay?” he asked her when they were both fully seated inside of her.

Together they started to move.

They had done this hundreds of times before with different women, but this was special. She was special. It didn’t take long before all of them were approaching their orgasms. Serenity came first, shaking and screaming both their names as she did.

They doubled their efforts now, both thrusting into her over and over again. She was barely done with her first orgasm, when her second one hit. She convulsed, her pussy clenching around him, pulling him deeper inside of her.

He lost it then, groaning as he thrust into her one more time as his orgasm slammed through him. He heard Adam do the same, his hoarse shout louder than his own.

Long moments later, they were still entangled together. Mick stirred, knowing they needed to check on Serenity. This was her first time with the two of them like this.

“Adam.”

He stirred and lifted his head up. “What?”

“Serenity,” he said.

Adam understood and moved. Serenity groaned.

“Hey,” Mick said, brushing the hair off her face. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah, just a little sore.”

He heard the water start in the bathroom. “Adam’s starting a bath. You need a soak.”

She nodded and mumbled against his shoulder. Adam returned and helped her up, then picked her up. Mick slipped out of bed and followed him to the bathroom.

“I can walk,” she mumbled.

“Yeah, we know,” Adam said.

Mick smiled. This was what he needed. Adam, Serenity, and him. Every worry Mick had had faded away when he realized there was no place else on earth he would rather be. And for right now, that worked for him.
