Joining the Party (4 page)

It was a risk. Cassie wasn’t a gymnast. He’d either catch her or she’d fall. His muscled shoulders were broad, but she didn’t have the upper body strength to hold herself up alone for long.

She locked eyes with Dom and tightened her hold on his shoulders as her foot hopped up off the carpet. Floating for a second, she enjoyed the rush. Then two powerful arms came around and caught her bottom as her legs curled around his waist.

“You’re crazy!” Dom smiled.

She shrugged. “You’re strong. Let’s see if you can handle me.” Cassie looked over to Alex who tossed her a condom. Trusting Dom to hold her securely only made it more of a turn on as she opened the packet. She reached between them and slid down the latex ring. Then, unable to wait another second, she lined up with him and let gravity do the rest.

As she took the feel of him in, he lifted her, and she wiggled for more. “You’re a tease,” she said.

“You’re made for the party. You’ll love it. Plenty more men to ride.” He let her go all the way down until she felt his full sac nestled between her legs.

“I’m not convinced. I don’t need an audience or to share. I need cock and attention.” She curled her arms around his neck and kissed him as her thighs worked up and down. He helped her with support but let her lead the sex.

“We’ll have to convince you.” Dom kissed her hard, fully claiming her mouth with his tongue.

She moaned, sucking on his tongue and curling her own around his. All control gone, she rode faster, letting her nipples graze his coarse chest hair as the kiss dragged on.

Cassie wanted to come. She’d been close twice with Dom, but he pulled her up just before she could get to release. Snapping her hips down with more force, she heard him moan.

Finally, he rocked his hips up to meet her pussy, and the connection was electric. Screaming as the world shifted, and she trembled in intense orgasm, Cassie dug her nails into his back. Dom thrust harder and harder until he tipped back his head and muttered nonsense. Cassie made out only a few words, but a sweet aftershock shot through her.

She kissed his neck, afraid to try and climb down yet. All her muscles felt numb or in more pleasure than she could control.

“That was hot and impressive,” Alex admitted.

“Told you we should’ve invited her sooner,” Monty said.

“It could’ve been weird. She was my first girl crush.” Alex laughed.

Cassie turned her head. “Yeah, he liked me so much he went after my date at the sophomore dance. I found them making out in the boys’ locker room.” She looked back at Dom who kissed her hard and loosened his grip on her.

One leg unwound and found steady footing on the floor as she kissed Dom back. “Don’t get me going again.” Her other leg followed, and she was no longer attached to any man in the room. It felt odd.

“You stole her man?” Monty made a disappointing grunt. “You owe her. I owe her. But how cute that he was bisexual even then?”

Cassie smiled at the adorable couple curled up together on the couch. “If only they’d invited me in the locker room, I’d be better at this sort of sexual gymnastics.”

“I think you’re a natural.” Ham moved in to give her a quick kiss. “But I’ve got to go to the firehouse. See you guys tomorrow.”

When a door closed upstairs, Cassie sat on the couch. “Should I take that personally?”

Dom shook his head and seemed to truly relax for the first time. “No, Ham is work obsessed. Sorry but you’re down to three men for dinner. Might as well stay since you made dessert.” He nodded to her apple pie.

Shrugging, she could be flexible but she wanted to challenge Dom. “Three guys. If you step up your game, Dominic, I think I’ll be content for now.”

* * * *

“You like her.” Monty elbowed his brother as they set the table for dinner.

Dom enjoyed the play without commitments of the party and loved that he had a close family, but sometimes, they knew him too well. “I’ve always liked her. If she stayed home for more than a month at a time, I might get to know her even better.”

They kept their voices low.

Cassie had ducked into the washroom to dress and freshen up. Truthfully, Dom liked her naked and rumpled. The wavy, light-brown hair teased her shoulders. Her curves were perfect—no fake implants and she wasn’t some skeleton either.

“Maybe she just needs a reason to stay?” Alex suggested.

“Don’t.” Dom knew a meddling plan when he saw that glint in Alex’s eyes. He and Monty both liked to match make and interfere since they’d found their perfect mate. True love with hot sex did exist. It gave Dom hope, but those two now were determined to get Dom matched up so they had a woman around all the time. Ham’s kink was more challenging to find a fit for.

“What?” Monty asked innocently. “We like her. Cassie was Alex’s first kiss.”

Cassie walked out looking pretty and pulled together. “I was? How sweet!”

Alex feigned shock. “I wasn’t your first kiss?”

“We were ten. I had my first kiss at eight. Neil.” She walked over to the table. “Can I help?”

“All done.” Monty pulled out a chair. “Sit. Neil? The guy married to Kitty and they’re with Violet Ann?”

“That’s him. No wonder he went after Kitty. At least, now, I know why Kitty and Violet Ann stopped inviting me to their sleepovers. They really are into each other.” She put her napkin in her lap.

Monty began dishing out food.

“Very much into each other. Sometimes, Neil just watches them. Those three are popular, and they don’t share unless you go in for all of what they want,” Alex said.

“They stick to that trio?” she asked.

Dom nodded. “Mostly, yes. Plenty of people don’t like to trade partners. They want to be seen and see others. The sexual energy is contagious. You’d enjoy it.”

“I did. Last night was engrossing. It makes sense you started it.” She poked Alex’s arm. “The multicultural thing was visually arousing. Especially to a photographer’s eye.”

“You didn’t have a camera last night?” Dom asked.

“No.” She blushed. “I’d never invade people’s privacy. After the oil spill and Katrina, it’s just nice to see something positive and happy.”

“Everyone goes home happy.” Monty grinned.

“You’re staying for a while?” Alex asked.

Dom kicked Alex under the table. Alex grimaced but ignored the hint.

“I need a break to clear my head and pick a new project. I have so many I want to do then something comes up. So we’ll see.” She dug in for seconds. “This food is great!”

“Monty’s a great cook,” Alex bragged. “Stick around, and we’ll spoil you rotten.”

“I thought the party was only monthly.” She looked eager for more but didn’t want to be the slut. Dom knew that look, desire but uncertainty.

“Monthly for all. Private parties are whenever we want,” Alex said. “We should give you an open door invite.”

“We do have to work. She could keep us busy for a week solid,” Dom teased.

Cassie threw him a smoldering glance. “Don’t underestimate me. I could keep you busy until the next party.”

Alex cleared the table and leaned over Cassie. “Sounds good to me. We’ll figure it out. Just promise me you’ll stop by for breakfast or stay over.” He winked at Dom over her head.

Monty put the leftovers away and wrapped his arms around Alex’s waist. “Time for some one-on-one attention.”

“Good night.” Cassie smiled as the two men went upstairs. “They’re so cute. I should go. Thanks for dinner.”

Standing, Dom tried to think of an excuse to keep her around. He lacked Monty’s easygoing nature. Even Ham had better small talk skills. Dom was a loner despite surrounding himself with family. “What about your pie?”

She turned with her hand on her hip and a smirk on her face. “Is that a come on?”

He moved in closer, only inches from her now so he could smell the hint of jasmine from her perfume. “I meant the apple pie you baked us. But you’re very welcome to stay the night. It must be lonely at your place all alone.” He tucked a stray curl behind her ear.

She nodded. “Must be lonely when those two go into men only mode.”

The ceiling shook, and muffled voices followed. Cassie’s smile lit up the dusky night.

Dom sighed. “Those two are very into each other. And you. That’s what drove them upstairs.”

“Me?” She frowned.

“They’re into you. Not just for the sex—they like you. I could see it.”

“That’s a problem so they want to be alone?” she asked.

He shrugged. “No, not a problem. It’s a relationship. They just need to prove to each other that they put each other first. They’re not insecure. They just need to have their alone time. Sometimes at unexpected times.”

“They’re very lucky. You think you know everyone and everything in a small town, but it’s hard to find what Alex and Monty have.” She looked him in the eye. “I never expected a sex party next door.”

“So stay and see how normal we are. Spend some time with the guys next door. Keep me warm tonight.” He held out a hand.

“You held back before, and now, you want to cuddle? Sure you’re not crazy for Alex, too, and out to make him happy?” She pressed her body to his, ignoring his hand.

His cock stirred. “I have no interest in men. But I don’t want to give you time to have second thoughts. You like this. Now, you’re trying to bait me.”

Cassie looked down and back up at him with an innocent pout. “Not at all. Spooning sounds good. But don’t think for a minute you guys wore me out. It was my first group experience, but I needed it. I like a challenge.”

“Need to run home for anything before I lock up?” Dom was certain she’d just issued him a challenge, but he’d let her wonder for now.

“No, I’m good. I travel light.” She waited while he closed the windows and locked the doors.

Dom grabbed her hand and led her up the stairs and into his room, which was luckily on the opposite end of the second floor from Monty and Alex’s room.

“Make yourself comfortable.” He pulled the comforter down.

“It’s a little early for bed, but I can’t think of anything I’d rather do right now.” She stepped out of her shoes and shimmied out of her dress.

He couldn’t help but stare as she kept going and let the flimsy bra then the gauzy panties fall. Tugging off his shirt, his eyes went right back to her naked body sitting primly on his bed.

Cassie’s inquisitive eyes watched him with interest. Barefoot, Dom unbuttoned his jeans and pushed them down along with his boxers. Her smile got bigger when his cock was exposed.

“You just want to cuddle?” she asked.

“I can control myself.” He sat on the crisp blue sheets.

Cassie eased back onto the pillows and turned on her side. Her lush ass taunted him as she yawned. “Good for you.”

All the things he wanted to do to her flooded his brain. Sharing her more with his brothers was on his list. She was so beautiful surrounded by their muscle and glowing with pleasure. But having her to himself pushed his desire to another level. Dom slid up behind her. His cock pressed to her firm ass.

She snuggled back to him, completely at ease.

This was a remarkable woman. The oil spill…Katrina… He’d seen all her photos on the town website. The things she’d seen firsthand.
