Cold as Ice (8 page)

Can’t wait to see you again. Take care of that beautiful body. – Luc

She smiled. Who knew they were romantics? As she made her way out to her car, she began to chuckle. Eva would bet only one of them was a romantic and the others had gone along with it, not wanting to look like a chump. So which one was it?

As she worked knots out of her clients, she continued to wonder whose idea the flowers had been. When her lunchtime came, she called Jake, the most likely culprit. He picked up on the third ring, sounding out of breath.

“I’m sorry, I can call back,” she stammered.

“No need. Just gimme a minute.”

She waited and he came back on the line after a short pause. “What’s up, honey? You okay?”

“Tired. Sore. But otherwise fine.”

“Sounds familiar.”

“Where are you?”

“We were just heading to lunch. In fact, it’s a good thing you called. I heard my ringtone all the way down the hall and realized I’d left my phone in my locker. So thanks for that!”

Eva smiled. “Glad I could help.” Now she began to feel silly and wasn’t sure she should ask about the flowers. She figured she at least owed them a thanks, though. “Um, I wanted to say thank you for the flowers.”

“You got them?” She heard him tell the others she’d gotten the delivery. “Did you like them?”

“I loved them, they’re beautiful. But you didn’t have to.”

“Beautiful flowers for a beautiful woman.”

Now she was sure the flowers had been Jake’s idea. “Well, I appreciated them, so thank you. I was touched.”

Jake growled softly and Eva suppressed the urge to giggle. “I’d like to be touching you right about now. Unfortunately we’re flying to DC right after lunch. We’ll be back late Friday night. Can we see you on Saturday? Maybe after practice?”

“Sure, we can do that.”

“Cool. Enjoy your flowers and take care of yourself until we get back. Then it’s our job.”

This time the giggle erupted before she could stop it. “That’s a deal.”

Eva hung up and giggled again. She was
not
a giggler. What were these guys doing to her? Her next call was to Louisa.

“Hey, girl, how’s it going? You got any news for me?”

Eva grinned even though she knew Louisa couldn’t see her. “Um, yeah.”

“What did you do? Don’t keep me in suspense! Tell me what you did. Don’t leave out a single detail.”

“Well, I’ve got to leave some stuff out, Louisa. It’s private.”

Louisa snorted. “Fine. You don’t have to tell me who’s the biggest.”

“It’s a good thing I hadn’t just taken a drink of the bottle of water I’m holding in my hand,” she answered. “It’d be all over my desk. I can’t believe you just said that.”

“Now you’re stalling. I’ve only got ten minutes left on my break. What happened?”

“They came over for dinner last night. We were all just supposed to talk.”

“Uh-huh. I’ve heard that one before. So they got there and seduced you?”

“No, we had dinner and we talked. Then I asked if we could, um, get started.”

“And then they pounced.”

“Would you quit interrupting me?” She heard a chuckle on the other end of the phone and shook her head. Louisa knew how to push all of her buttons. “Anyway, we moved into the bedroom and ended up having sex.”

“All three guys? All at once? If you were here I’d give you a high-five.”

Eva ignored her friend’s crazy antics. “Like I said, I’m not gonna go into details, but yeah.”

“So do these guys have any brothers?”

“I have no idea, actually. But they do have teammates.”

“Mmmm, teammates. Now there’s a thought. Are you gonna see them again tonight or did they decide to give you a rest?”

“They’re going out of town. They’ll be back Friday night late so I’ll see them on Saturday afternoon.”

“At least you can rest up all those sore muscles until then,” Louisa answered. “Oh, crap, I gotta go. Mrs. Rosenbaum is here, and you know how she gets if I’m not there to scrub those bunions.”

“Yuck. Have fun with that.”

* * * *

The guys returned from Washington victorious and were in high spirits when they knocked on Eva’s door Saturday midafternoon. She opened the door and they trooped in, Luc kicking it closed behind him. Luc grinned as his teammates surrounded her, pressing their hard bodies into her soft one. Not wanting to miss out on the fun, he joined them.

“My, my. Either you guys stopped at the grocery store for bananas or you’re happy to see me.”

Luc growled, pressing his erection further into the hollow of her hip. “We’re pretty fucking happy to see you, babe. You happy to see us?”

“Mmm, I guess so,” she told him, and squealed when he tickled her. “Okay, okay! I’m so excited I thought I was gonna die if I didn’t get to suck all your cocks today!”

“What an intriguing offer. What do you think, guys?”

“I think she should get on her knees and make good on that,” Carter answered.

Jake looked less sure and remained quiet until Eva dropped to the floor. He threw a wide-eyed glance Luc’s way and then cleared his throat, sinking one hand into her hair and tilting her head up to look at him. “This is okay? Seriously?”

She gave him a cheeky grin. “I know I’ve only been with you guys for a short time, but already I’m becoming addicted.”

“Fuck,” Carter slurred.

“No, I think it works the other way,” she answered.

“Enough. I dunno about these guys, but I’m on a hairpin,” Luc told her.

“Can’t have that.” Eva reached for his belt buckle and Carter went to stand on his other side, unbuckling his own belt as he went.

Eva got Luc’s jeans undone and pushed them and his boxers down before immediately swallowing him to the root. Luc swayed, barely keeping his balance. “Shit!” She smiled around his cock a little. “Turnabout is fair play, girl.”

She sucked him for a little while and then turned to Carter, taking him inside. “Fuck yeah, that’s what I wanted,” he mumbled. Luc watched as his friend tangled his hands in her long, brown hair while he slid in and out of Eva’s mouth. “Shit, yes…”

Eva pulled off Carter and after divesting Jake of his clothing took his cock in her hands before guiding it to her mouth. He, too, swayed a little and grabbed her shoulders for support. That only seemed to inflame her more, and she sped up her rhythmic sucking motions. Soon, though, she returned to Luc and then just kept going back and forth between all of them until all three had come in her mouth. Leaning back after taking Carter’s load, she licked her lips.

“I’m thirsty.”

Luc laughed, shaking his head. “You wouldn’t think thirst would be the topmost thing on your mind after that.”

“What? Cum is salty. Oh, I’m hungry, too, and I’m craving sweets.” He watched in awe as she rose to her feet gracefully. “Take me out for ice cream. Oh! Let’s go bowling!”

“Bowling?” Jake asked, raising his eyebrow.

“Yeah! Unless, you know, you’re only in this for sex, which is okay, too.” But the light in her eyes had dimmed just a little, a fact not lost on Luc.

“Bowling sounds like fun to me.” Luc grabbed Eva, nipping her earlobe. She shrieked and batted at his hands. “As long as you let me win.”

“Fat chance.”

“How about a bet?”

“What kind of bet?”

Luc glanced at Carter and Jake. Both men sported a mixture of amusement and curiosity in their expressions.

“If one of us wins, you give that guy a blow job in the parking lot of the bowling alley. If you win, the man with the lowest score will be your slave for the rest of the night, and not just in the bedroom. Deal?”

She smirked. “Deal.”

The other guys agreed to the bet, and as Eva pulled her coat on, she said, “By the way, you should know I own a ball and shoes. My dad and I used to go bowling a lot after he and my mom divorced. He only had me on weekends, so he took me out a lot.” She assessed each man in turn. “I wonder which of you will end up being my slave?”

“Not fair!” Luc called, but he was grinning. He loved nothing more than competing—for just about anything.

They piled into Luc’s Escalade, and Eva gave him directions to the nearest bowling alley. After securing two lanes to speed the games up, the guys set about finding balls and putting on the lane-issued shoes.

Eva wrinkled her nose. “I’m so glad I have my own shoes. Those are gross.”

“Keep it up, babe,” Luc warned her, issuing a light slap to her ass.

But she was undeterred. “Do you know how many other people have used those shoes? It’s like wearing a condom after another guy’s already used it.”

Luc threw her a sardonic look. “It is
nothing
like that, baby.” He leaned closer and whispered the next sentence right into her ear. “And if you don’t behave I’ll take you outside and spank you.”

She raised an eyebrow. “Getting all dominating, are you?”

“You know it.”

“We’ll see about that.” She wiggled her butt at him, and it was all he could do not to grab her and pull her down onto his lap. They needed to be cool in public, though, so he restrained himself.

They bowled three games, and the guys indulged in a rare bit of junk food. A little while later Luc’s heart began to race. He attributed it to the fat and sugar he’d consumed. By the time they were done bowling, the racing had stopped.

Eva had, in fact, scored highest. Jake was the “loser,” though really, how could being Eva’s slave for less than half a day really be that bad? Carter had gotten the highest combined score of the men, and when he and Eva climbed into the backseat of the SUV, Eva said, “Hold up a minute. I need to give Carter his reward.”

Luc turned in the driver’s seat. “That wasn’t our bet.”

“I know, but I want to do it. It’s sort of naughty to think about me going down on Carter in the middle of the parking lot. Besides, he should get something for winning.”

“I couldn’t agree more,” Carter squeaked out.

“I know you guys like to watch, so I want you both to turn around in your seats while I drive your teammate crazy.”

“Getting pretty bossy,” Luc said, but Jake whacked him.
