“What’s everyone doing here?” Alex asked, hoping to change the subject.
“Sierra and Sam are reading Ashleigh’s manuscript. We thought we’d come along. You know. Moral support.” Logan smiled.
Apparently Ashleigh’s secret was out.
“And what type of moral support are you providing?” Alex inquired, glancing from one man to another.
“Shit, Sierra’s so damn excited when she reads one of those books, we wanted to make sure we were here for her. You know... if she needed us.” Cole said, straight faced.
Luke and Logan laughed.
Good grief. What the hell did these people do? Alex suddenly felt left out of the loop.
“Are you going to the club on Tuesday night?” This time Luke asked the question, directing it at Logan and Alex had no idea what they were talking about.
“Sam is hoping to. Tag had to go out of town for a few days, but she’s hoping he’ll be back by then.”
Alex must’ve had a questioning look on his face because Logan followed up with, “You know. The monthly get together at the club. Turns out Sam has a fascination with it.”
Alex did a double take. Seriously? The club?
“Sierra’s been begging for the last two days,” Luke added. “I think she’s still mad at us for not taking her last month.”
“You were all there at the same time?” Alex was suddenly intrigued by the idea. He hadn’t considered taking Ashleigh to the club yet. Since she wasn’t a member, he’d have to work on that in the meantime, but until then, it was definitely something to consider. He had a room after all.
“Yes.” Cole said. “Definitely nothing like I expected it to be.”
“I hear Ashleigh’s been hitting Sierra and Sam up for information on threesomes.” Logan said, leaning back in his chair. How the man could appear so confident when they were talking about the women sitting only a few feet away inside the house, was beyond Alex.
“What?” That was news to him. And something he would have to set her straight on. He was not into sharing. Hell no.
He was too damn possessive for that. But there were other things they could engage in if her curiosity was that strong. He dared a glance back at the house to see Ashleigh sitting in the living room with Sam and Sierra.
“Does she know you’re not into that?” Luke asked, sounding serious now.
“It’s not like we’ve talked about it, no.” Alex said, suddenly worried about Ashleigh’s fantasies and how far she might try to push him.
“Well, you might want to set her straight, man. Before you find yourself doing something you swore you’d never do.”
Alex was beginning to think Logan was right.
~~*~~
Ashleigh couldn’t believe her ears.
“I’m serious.” Sierra stated insistently. “Being with two men is unlike anything else. Two pairs of hands, two mouths, two... well, you get my drift.”
Laughing, Sam turned to Ashleigh. “She’s right you know. That doesn’t mean it’s for everyone. But, you did a fantastic job capturing the allure. I think your readers will be extremely happy.”
Ashleigh was grateful for that because as far as she was concerned, that lifestyle wasn’t for her. She was more than satisfied with having Alex and only Alex.
For the next half hour, Ashleigh listened intently to the feedback her friends gave her. Finally, when she worried they were getting entirely too worked up, they all ventured outside to join the men.
A short while later, the seven of them were still sitting outside, laughing and joking when Sam captured everyone’s attention with her sudden outburst.
“Truth or dare.” Sam exclaimed, sitting on Logan’s lap.
No way. There was no way Ashleigh was up for a game like that with this group of people.
Especially not after they’d been sitting outside talking so intimately about anything and everything. As it seemed, they didn’t have any secrets. At least from each other.
“Woman, you’re entirely too open for your own good.” Logan stated, kissing his wife’s neck.
“I’m game.” Sierra chimed in, sitting on Luke’s lap across from his twin brother.
“Of course you are.” Luke groaned.
Alex glanced at Ashleigh before that seductive grin tilted his lips. “And what about you?” He asked her, apparently leaving the choice up to her.
“I don’t know.” She muttered, glancing back and forth between Sierra and Sam. “I’m not sure I’m in the same league as you two.”
And that was the truth. Sam and Sierra were far more open about their sexuality, something Ashleigh hadn’t gotten comfortable with entirely. Hell, she was new to sex, even if she’d been writing about it for years.
