the better of her. “Ah…un–unless you do. I mean, I would understand. It’s not like I’m some great catch.”
The smack was loud and decisive. Adrian listened closely for her protest, but when none was forthcoming, he stuck his head around the corner to check what was happening. Every doubt that Sophie would accept them for who they truly were flew out the window when he saw how roughly his brother kissed her. She held on to him, straining to get closer, her whimpers of need filling the room even as Alex closed his fist in her hair and kissed her savagely.
They were both panting by the time they broke apart, but Alex continued to hold her captive by her hair, forcing her to look at him.
“You are a very beautiful woman—”
“Who should lose a few pounds,” she said in an almost teasing tone.
The smack was even louder this time, her soft groan music to his ears as his brother’s handprint bloomed across the soft skin of her buttocks.
“Repeat after me,” Alex said in an indulgent tone. “I am a beautiful woman who is perfect just the way I am.”
She giggled until Alex tightened his hand in her hair. She repeated his words quickly, seeming embarrassed to say them out loud.
“Say it again,” Alex ordered, glancing over to Adrian for just a moment before turning his full attention back to the woman held securely in his arms.
“Do I have to?” she asked, again with a soft giggle.
“Only if you want to avoid being spanked,” Alex said, his eyes darkening with his arousal as he watched the expression on Sophie’s face.
“I’m beautiful and perfect the way I am,” she said, paraphrasing Alex’s words but this time taking her time to say it properly, and perhaps even believe it herself.
“Good girl,” Alex said before leaning over to kiss her again. “Now help me undress. If I’m not inside you in the next thirty seconds I think I’m going to explode.”
“We can’t have that,” she said with a soft laugh. Sophie’s grin grew positively wicked when she glanced over and saw Adrian. His heart almost stopped beating as she sank to her knees and undid his brother’s jeans.
Alex groaned as she pushed his jeans and briefs to his ankles and then took his hard cock in her hand. “Don’t tease me,” he ordered, his hand still fisted in her hair. He turned wild eyes to Adrian and reached for the box of condoms he held in his hand.
It was clear that Sophie was testing Alex’s self-control—something Adrian had never witnessed before. Alex was always in control so to see him like this just proved that they both needed to be here.
Sophie might not know it yet, but she belonged with them, and they were going to do everything in their power to make sure the three of them had a happy future together.

Sophie glanced at the condom Alex handed her and giggled more than a little hysterically. She turned her attention to Adrian as she unwrapped the package.
“You carry banana-flavored condoms in your car?”
“Of course,” he said with a shrug as if it was the most natural thing in the world. “Would you prefer a different flavor?”
She tried not to laugh, but the idea of the man she’d believed thought of her as only a friend carrying around a trunk full of flavored condoms tickled her funny bone. Alex tightened his grip in her hair once more and the urge to giggle was replaced with something far more potent.
“Put it on my cock, Sophie.”
She heard Adrian’s shocked intake of breath when she put the condom in her mouth and turned to do as Alex asked. Alex’s legs trembled as she put her hands on his thighs to balance herself and then carefully rolled the condom into place with her lips. It had been a lot of years since she’d tried it, but apparently it was a skill one didn’t forget.
She moaned as Alex pushed deeper into her mouth, his forceful movements raising her arousal once more.
“Holy fuck,” Alex moaned as he caressed her scalp and slid into and
