“Did it?” I shot back.
“Damn right it did,” Dallas hissed, striding right into me and sliding a hand over my hip to cup the small of my back. I gasped, and I wanted to resist, and to be strong and tell them I knew it was just this casual thing, but the second he touched me, that all fell apart. The second he touched me, I knew I was hooked all over again.
“What happened yesterday, beautiful,” he growled and shook his head. “If you think yesterday was just some random fun for us, you’re dead wrong.”
His brother moved into me as well, sliding his hand over my other hip and pulling me close. “What, you think this is just something we do? Prowl the woods looking for gorgeous, skinny-dipping women to share?”
“Is it?”
He snorted, shaking his head. “Angel, there hasn’t been a woman in years.”
“Bullshit.”
He laughed. “Oh? And why’s that?”
I stared up at them. “Because! Because, I mean, look at you two!”
The two of them grinned, and I instantly flushed red.
“You know what I mean.”
“What you’re thinking isn’t true, angel,” Dallas murmured, bringing a hand up to my chin and tilting my gaze up to his dark smokey eyes. “What happened yesterday hit us like a storm too. What happened yesterday was nothing we were looking for, and everything we never thought we’d find.”
My heart thundered in my chest as my eyes darted between them.
“I— I can’t,” I said quietly, hating myself as I said it. “I mean, you’re Braun’s friends, and—”
“Okay first of all, have you met Braun? The guy has friends like I have wings growing out of my back.”
I smiled quietly. “He’s a big softy, you know.”
“Yeah, to you, because you’re friends with Katrina, and because you’re a woman. Trust me,” Austin chuckled. “To other guys, that guy gets full alpha real fast.”
“He’s just protective of Katrina.”
“And I don’t fault him for it for a second,” he growled back. “When you find the one you’re going to hang on to, you make damn sure no one else even fucking thinks about taking what’s yours.”
I shivered, the heat of his fierce gaze burning into me, and those words ringing through my head.
You make damn sure no one else even fucking thinks about taking what’s yours.
The way they were looking at me…
I blushed, looking away.
“Look, this doesn’t change anything, Stella,” Dallas said quietly, pulling me close. “You being Katrina’s friend, us living up here — you and us not being strangers anymore. None of it changes the fact that you’re fucking amazing and that somehow, you’ve tripped up everything we thought we knew.”
“And what’s that?” I breathed, my voice quavering as the two of them held me close.
“That we’d never find something like this up here. That we’d never find a woman that both of us were totally fucking crazy for up on this mountain,” Austin growled. “Damnit, Stella, we’ve been tangled up and fucking lost ever since you walked away yesterday. You’re all we can think about, and the only damn thing we want.”
I gasped quietly as they both pulled me in, dipping their heads to let their lips brush over my neck.
But, there was that stupid voice again, telling me that this couldn’t be real.
“Wait, this…” I pulled back, my face flushed, my body trembling, and my eyes darting wildly between them.
“We can’t!”
“And why not,” Dallas growled.
“Because….” I trailed off, looking away.
“That’s a shitty excuse,” Austin muttered.
“Because I just can’t, that’s why. Okay?”
“But you could yesterday.”
“Yesterday you weren’t the groomsmen at my best friend's wedding!”
“Okay, not groomsmen, just guests,” Dallas said dryly. “And what specifically does that change? C’mon, Stella. I fucking know you felt it yesterday too.”
I swallowed thickly, chewing my lip.
“Did not.”
I gasped as he leaned close, his lips brushing my ear.
“Liar,” he purred, making my skin buzz electrically. “Tell me you haven’t been thinking about it — about what happened yesterday.” He moved right into me, and when his hand slid between my legs and a finger teased across my seam through my jeans, I whimpered.
“Tell me this sweet little pussy hasn’t been making a fucking mess of your panties all night and all day thinking about it,” he growled lowly.
“Or maybe,” Austin said quietly, moving close and grabbing my ass. “Maybe you did something about it.”
I blushed fiercely.
“And I think you did, baby girl.”
“No, I—”
“I think you played with that sweet pussy last night, didn’t you?”
I gasped, my body coming alive as they moved right into me — their big, muscled, hard bodies pressing into me.
“Did you touch your slick, hot little cunt thinking of us?” Dallas’s voice rumbled into my ear. “Were you a bad girl, touching your naughty little pussy to the thought of the two of us ripping your clothes off and taking you together?”
I moaned, melting into them.
“Maybe,” I whispered.
