I needed them both. How that could be, I didn’t know, but that’s what it was. They were two sides of a coin and I needed both to have a full coin. Two halves.

“Share,” Cassian groaned, his finger touching the side of my mouth. Immediately, Lee released my mouth, his head moving back, his eyes finding Cassian’s. Another shared look went between the two. Lee gave a slight nod, as if they just had an unspoken conversation, came to an agreement. I didn’t know what it was, but if there were any jealousy or insecurities within either of them, it seemed they decided to shove it aside.

Cassian’s mouth touched mine. A tentative and gentle graze.

I leaned in closer, as if he gave me a taste of nectar and I hungered for another touch.

Lee bent over me, his hand going down to the bottom of my shirt. He hesitated. “What do you want, Cole? How far do you want to go?” His hand slipped under my shirt, his palm spread out, just resting on my skin.

Cassian rested on his side, his chest brushing my shoulder. Moving his one hand, his elbow pushed down on the top of the couch, but we were both gazing at Lee, who was chewing on his bottom lip.

I shrugged, reaching for Lee’s shoulder and drew him over me. “I don’t know. I’m not ready for a lot, but heavy grindage would be nice.”

Cassian snorted out a laugh, burying his nose in his elbow, pressing into the couch.

Lee tried to hold back a grin, both of his hands skimming my hips before curling around them and taking hold. He went still, pondering something. His gaze moved, meeting Cassian, whose head had lifted again and it was as if they were on the same wavelength. Lee was still pausing, but Cassian touched under my chin. “Cole.”

“Hmmm?” My heart was thumping hard against my chest. I was distracted, wondering what Lee was going to do.

“Cole. Look at me.” His request came from a husky voice.

“Yeah?” I tore my gaze away from Lee, who was starting to show a glimmer of dark amusement. The side of his mouth curved up.

Cassian asked, his eyes filled with lust, “Can we try something with you? If you want to keep clothes on⁠—”

“Who said we’re keeping clothes on?”

Both boys froze.

I grinned. “Just kidding. Yes, we’re keeping clothes on. This is enough, that I instigated this with both of you. I couldn’t handle showing my titties this time.”

Both dissolved in laughter. Lee fell in my lap, his head resting against my stomach.

Cassian was silently laughing, his shoulder shaking as he buried his head into my shoulder and neck. Hmmm. That felt nice too. I arched toward him, and he stopped laughing, his hand sliding over my front, pausing on my throat. He lifted his head, his gaze meeting mine. My mouth opened. I arched my neck for him. He took that as permission, which it was, because my God, I was damn near panting here. His hand slid more south, between my breasts and he reached out, his finger brushing over one.

I gasped, quietly, savoring that feeling.

I liked it. His whole palm moved, cupping my breast and he bent, nipping underneath my ear. “You like that?” His hand pressed harder around my breast, his finger moving over my nipple.

“Hmmm. Yeah,” I panted.

Lee’s hand was rubbing on my stomach as he was leaning over my legs. He’d gone to his knees at some point, and if his head moved down, just a little, he’d be kissing where my belly button was. I reached for him, not knowing if I wanted that. Well, yes. Of course I did, but not yet. Right? No. I wasn’t ready, but I wanted him closer. He lifted up, as Cassian was sucking on my neck, Lee’s mouth found mine. Opening again, exploring.

A fevered rush seared through me. My blood was invigorated.

“What—” I pulled back from Lee to ask, my hand going to his chest, his lean but wiry and strong, so very strong, chest. His heart was pounding, just like mine. “What were you thinking about before?”

“Before?” He nipped at my mouth again.

“Yeah. That—” Another nip. Oooh. I enjoyed that. “Cassian said—” Another nip, longer, he was sucking on my bottom lip. Who knew that was tickling and arousing at the same time? I had no clue. A whole new sizzling sensation jolted me, making my toes curl. I almost giggled, but then I was immediately throbbing for more when he pulled away. I reached for him, grabbing hold of his shirt and pulling him back. “Where are you going?”

He laughed against my mouth, rising to his feet and looming over us a little. His hands went to my hips. “Trust us?”

Uh… I opened my eyes. “What?”

Cassian snorted against my chest. He had worked his mouth there, and he tugged on my shirt collar. “Can I move this? Not off, but more touching.”

My eyes flared. “Yes.” Better touching.
