tell me that woman in there isn"t going to wake up and freak. She could, you know. And then I"d be out of a friend and out of a job.”
“There are no guarantees, baby. You knew that going in. But she sure seemed into it, and I know she really cares about you. Shit, she tasted like heaven and came like a starving woman.”
“Yeah, she did.”

“And, baby, I need to follow her, so get your gorgeous cock into that bedroom. I don"t want to sleep tonight.”

Chapter Five
Em took a deep breath. The soft scent of sandalwood, maybe? Where was she exactly? Stretching, she felt a lovely little twinge. Oh yeah, that clit had been sucked into oblivion by somebody who knew how.
That"s where she was.
She opened her eyes. Morning. Soft light through the shoji screens, the clicking music of the bamboo fountain in the garden. Heavenly.
She sat up slowly, perched cross-legged, and looked around. Seeing her bikini pants and tank top folded on a gold silk armchair reminded her she was naked.
What exactly had happened last night? Was that passionate scene planned or just some kind of spontaneous human combustion? Her combustion. Man, she had come hard. She couldn"t remember the last time she"d responded like that. Maybe because she never had. And now she felt so good, it was hard to regret a moment.
God, she"d kissed Jake. He"d sucked her breasts like in a thousand daydreams.
And Roan. The tongue that ate Manhattan. No one had ever come close to giving her oral sex that wonderful.
But dammit, they were gay! Even if Jake said “just operationally,” Roan was a died-in-the-wool, no-holds-barred, pick-your-favorite-cliché homosexual. Surely ardent pussy-eating didn"t qualify as initiation into the gay boys" fan club. Em was seriously confused.
Even more confusing was the fact that she wasn"t too horrified at having been made love to by two men. Yes, sports fans, they called that a ménage à trois, and she didn"t feel nearly weird enough about it. Of course, she"d had some serious role-modeling in her youth. In the commune they"d lived in, there were a couple of three-Genetic Attraction

partner relationships, and everyone had accepted them as normal. She didn"t know if in those partnerships the men had also been lovers. She wondered. But this wasn"t a partnership, just a fling, so maybe the rules were different. She chuckled.
She"d have to consult the ménage handbook. Google the rules.
When confused, she needed coffee. Actually, when not confused, she needed coffee. Jake loved coffee too, so maybe they had a coffeemaker in the kitchen that started automatically.
She slid off the platform bed and padded to that closet. Good Lord, if they ever needed money, they could rent it as a two-bedroom apartment. After rummaging in her bag, she pulled out a pair of shorts and a sweatshirt. No underwear required.
Find coffeemaker. Grab bean juice. Come back to bed and wake no one. That was the plan.
She opened her bedroom door and listened. No sound. Slipping out into the hall, she headed for the stairs. The beautiful big window on the far wall streamed with early morning sunlight. That must be a gorgeous view.
Quietly, she padded over to the window, loving the textures of hardwood and thick rugs under her bare feet. Wow. The sun was just rising, and she could see for miles. The house was on a hill, very isolated, with the nearest neighbor barely visible across the oriental gardens and open fields of what looked like lavender. She loved fall. The green was just surrendering to the brilliant colors that consumed the dense trees. It was going to be a beautiful day, and she got to be in Connecticut with two beautiful men. Hmm. Men whose intentions were very unclear.
Back to plan A. Coffee.
She turned from the window. She heard a noise. Was that a moan? She looked over her shoulder and found from this angle that she was looking directly into the partially open door of the master bedroom.
