Tart (22 page)

When she came back out. Gideon was kissing his way over Cal’s chest. She stood in the doorway, watching. They were unbelievable together. That fear that Cal would suddenly remember he liked penis best eased away a little more each time they’d all had sex. Each time they kissed or held hands. The normalcy of this not very usual situation had settled and she liked it.

“Don’t just stand there like a deviant. Come over here and spread it around.” Cal held a hand out and she jumped back into bed, meaning to get behind Cal, but he plopped her right back in the middle. “Where do you think you’re going?”

“It’s a lot easier to watch you two if I’m off to the side.” Which was totally true. And as it had turned out, they all liked to watch.

Gideon laughed as he bent to lick across one of her nipples. “We don’t want you off to the side. I can get at everything I need with you right here.”

Cal kissed his way over her belly. “Agreed. Access to this sweet cunt and to that cock too. You’re right where we want you.”

“Mmm. Promise to ravish me then?”

Cal looked up her body, into her face. “A promise I gladly make.”

Gideon got up. “I’ll be right back. You can get started on the ravishing and I’ll catch up. I’m a quick study.”

She turned to Cal, grabbing his cock and squeezing until he made that sound that tightened things low in her belly.

“Morning.”

“A good morning to you. I need to be in you.”

She took his hand and put it over her pussy. “I’d like that.”

“Wet. Perfect. You know how I like it.”

She scrambled atop. Fisting his cock a few times because he felt so good in her hand. Hard and real. Ready to deliver whatever she wanted.

“That look on your face would scare a lesser man.”

She smiled down at Cal. “Good thing you’re not a lesser man. I have plans for you. And for this.” She shifted, her back to Cal’s front as he scooted up to lean on the pillows he’d tucked against the headboard.

Gideon came in just as she was sinking down onto Cal’s cock. Cal had moved the mirror in his bedroom so Gideon could watch better. Gideon, who met her gaze as he came back into the room and headed toward the bed.

“Look at you,” Gideon whispered it as he knelt next to them. “Watching his cock disappear into your pussy and come out all wet with you is the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.”

She arched her back to get him deeper, bracing her hands on Cal’s thighs as she did.

Jules watched in the mirror as Gideon fisted his cock a few times. His gaze roved over her and Cal both.

“I love this position. I like to watch your tits in the mirror.”

She smiled at Cal’s reflection.

“They do sway ever so nicely.” Gideon straddled Cal’s legs, his cock brushing against her thigh and apparently Cal’s something because he sucked in a breath behind her.

Gideon palmed her breasts before tugging on her nipples until she squirmed at how good it felt.

“She gets so tight and hot when you do that,” Cal gasped out.

Gideon got closer and Jules grabbed his cock, rubbing it against her pussy and Cal’s cock. The head brushed against her clit, sending ripples of pleasure through her.

“Goddamn.”

She laughed, moving that last inch forward to grab Gideon’s bottom lip between her teeth and tug.

“Make yourself come with Gideon’s cock. But don’t make him come just yet. I have plans for you, Gideon.”

When Cal took over, he really took over. All that genteel reserve fell away and he was utterly and totally dominant. He wanted what he wanted and when he wanted it. It never ceased to make her shiver with delight.

“Gonna be hard,” Gideon spoke through a clenched jaw. “This is so fucking good.”

She moaned, agreeing.

Her clit was slippery and hard against the sensitive head of his cock. Gideon had to think about calling the vet to come out and see to the goats to keep from coming all over that glistening pussy. Cal’s balls and his rested together, the friction sending little bolts of electricity through him. She angled him so that their cocks also slid against each other each time she lifted a little. Even as she brushed his cock over her clit to make herself come.

What they had dizzied Gideon. He wanted more. Each time they touched it led to something deeper and more raw than before. That trust he had for them both only made it hotter.

Jules’s head fell back on a soft sigh and Cal growled, grabbing her hips and holding her down as he fucked hard into her body. Gideon slapped the head of his cock against her clit and she squealed, grabbing his forearm, her nails digging in deep for the long moments of her climax until she went boneless with a sigh.

Finally Cal helped her back to the bed, kissing her soundly.

She opened those blue eyes, still slightly blurred. “You two go on without me. I’m just going to lay here like a puddle of well-satisfied goo and watch you two have sex. This is the best day ever.”

Cal grinned and grabbed Gideon by the back of his neck and pulled him close for a kiss. “Wait here. Be right back.”

Jules laughed. “I’m pretty sure that’s a given, Calvin.” She turned her head to see Gideon better. “Hello.”

He lay back with her, kissing her lazily. “Hello to you too.”

Cal came back to bed and after kissing Jules he turned to face Gideon. “I want to suck that cock.”

Gideon raised a brow and grabbed his cock. “Come on and get it then. You know how I like it.”

Indeed Cal did.

Jules moved a little so she could watch better and Gideon gave over to Cal as he saw how comfortable she was.

His fingers slid through Cal’s hair and tugged. Cal grunted and sucked him deeper. Gideon took a deep breath and simply enjoyed how good Cal was with that fucking beautiful mouth of his.

Between a grunt and a snarl, Gideon managed to speak. “Next time my cock is going in that sweet ass.”

Cal groaned around a mouthful of cock as an image of just what that was like flashed through his mind. Gideon had little patience once he got himself worked in to Cal’s ass. He wanted it fast and hard.

And Cal was totally all right with that. The edge of pain worked for him. The way Gideon’s laid-back control shredded as he fucked Cal worked for him. The way Jules watched them both hungrily only made the experience hotter.

He’d worried. He knew Gideon had as well. They frequently took cues from Jules as to how far to go, how fast. Neither wanting to hurt her. Neither wanting to give her reason to doubt.

True to her words though, each time they’d all been together it had been easier. There were no shadows in her gaze, only desire. Only love.

He took Gideon deep, breathing through his nose. Cal palmed Gideon’s balls, fingertips pressing just behind. Gideon’s grunt told him he was doing just fine.

Wet. He kept Gideon’s cock nice and wet as he sucked him off. Gideon’s fingers in Cal’s hair tightened as he began to thrust, fucking Cal’s face.

It was Cal’s turn to groan then as shivers worked up and down his body.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Gideon nearly snarled as he came, his taste washing through Cal. Beside them, Jules expelled a breath she’d probably been holding as she watched the two of them.

“Again, I repeat. Best. Day. Ever.”

Gideon bent and kissed Cal before he lay back down between them. “I totally agree.”

“I’m stunned.”

Gillian stood in the middle of the area they’d set up for the engagement party, her eyes alight with joy, a big smile on her face.

“You like?”

She hugged Jules tight. “It’s perfect.
You made it perfect
. Thank you.”

Grinning, Jules hugged her right back. “I had a lot of help, obviously. It was a group effort. Daisy handled all the table coverings and accessories. She made all the votives hanging from the trees herself.”

“You made dulce de leche cupcakes.”

“I did. But really it was for Adrian. He asked.”

Gillian laughed. “You’re incorrigible. You know how much I love them. I won’t let you downplay your part in this. Who else would know how much I’d love that deep red? And the flowers! How’d you get those?”

Jules shrugged, flattered and so pleased she’d made her friend so happy. “I can’t take credit for the flowers. I mentioned how much you like peonies and Erin made it happen. I have no idea where she got them.”

“She’s magic. I’ve ceased questioning how she makes things happen. But you, well, I know you have a busy life. We need to talk about all sorts of stuff. I feel like we haven’t had a good long chat in forever.”

Jules hugged her friend. “We did just two weeks ago. And you’re planning a wedding, which is pretty stressful for a control freak like you.”

Gillian laughed and squeezed Jules’s hands. “Takes one to know one, my darlin’. How did the party go at your brother’s place? Did Connor like his cake?”

She tried very hard not to let it show just how that went.

Those pretty eyes narrowed. Gillian missed nothing, damn it. “I know that look. Tell me.”

She wasn’t going to bring any of that ugliness into Gillian’s special day. “Not tonight. Tonight is for happy stuff. And yes, he loved the cake.”

“Of course right now. Jules Lamprey, tell me.”

She hugged Gillian again. “You look beautiful. You got your hair done even. You smell delightfully ladylike and your makeup is perfect. This is your party, and your night and I’ve been planning this shindig for some time now. So, no, it’s not for tonight. Tonight is for joy only. I forbid anything else.”

Gillian frowned. “I’m coming to Tart tomorrow. You will tell me then.”

“All right. Come near closing and we’ll have lunch.” Jules caught sight of Adrian. “There’s your man; he’s looking for you. Go on and get him.”

“Thank you.” Gillian waved to Adrian before turning her attention back to Jules. “There have been more times than I can count in my life when you saved me. Tonight is perfect because you planned it. And you love me.”

“Course I do. Also, Erin helped. I’ve gotten to know her better through that, so really, I win all around.”

Gideon came out, looking for her. When he caught sight of Jules there, his smile totally changed his face. “Still gives me butterflies when he looks at me like that.”

Gillian sent a grin Jules’s way. “Gives
me
butterflies just to watch. There’s literally no one else out here that matters to him once he sees you. It’s breathtaking.”

The two men ambled over, Adrian telling Gideon some story that made Gideon laugh.

“And you have two of them. Lucky you. We need to talk about that too.” Gillian raised a brow and then turned to Adrian. “Hello there, Mister Brown.”

“There’s my lady. This is amazing.” Adrian pulled Gillian to his side and shifted his attention to Jules. “This is more than I could have ever imagined. It’s perfect. Thank you for being such a good friend to Gillian and me.”

“I was just telling Gillian it was a group effort. Your brother and sister did a whole lot. Delicious worked their butts off as well.”

“She does have trouble taking compliments.” Gideon took her hand, smiling. “You look beautiful.”

As did he. She’d never seen him in a suit and it totally worked. “You clean up damned nice.” Jules tiptoed up and stole a kiss and turned back to Adrian and Gillian. “Now, you two go on and greet your guests. People are arriving. You can thank me with some great tickets to your next show.”

Adrian hugged Jules. “Hell no,
you
get backstage.”

She grinned. “Score.”

They left and Gideon sighed happily. “You did good, Juliet.”

“I keep telling you, it wasn’t just me. Hell, you guys made this lawn look magical. I had nothing to do with it.”

Gideon rolled his eyes. “Except for those detailed drawings you gave.”

She laughed, blushing. “I couldn’t leave it up to chance, now could I?”

“Not you.”

“Thank you for helping so much.”

“They’re important to you. Hell, by this point they’re all my friends too. So course I did.” Gideon meant that. These people were her family, and if for no other reason he’d support her in anything to help them. But he liked them all too. They’d accepted him and their less-than-usual situation with such warmth and openheartedness, he’d been very touched.

He hadn’t been sure how they’d respond. Cal had been part of their group since childhood. Gideon was an outsider, even though he’d been around a few times a year.

But he should have realized anyone Jules loved so much would be fine with anything that made her happy. And they were.

“This DJ is going to do some slow stuff, right? Because I need to dance with you tonight.”

“You’re on. I even got my hair done. I want to get everything I can out of tonight.”

She was beautiful there, the fairy lights all around them casting a pretty yellow glow. Her hair had been done, yes. Swept up with a deep red rose tucked right at the base of her left ear. She wore more makeup than usual, shiny red lips, her eyes lined in a way that made them seem bluer and even bigger. Her dress was deep blue. It swept over her figure perfectly, highlighting those breasts of hers. Showing enough to make him want to bend his head and kiss each sweet mound showcased at the neckline. The shoes were peep toe. High enough that she didn’t have to strain so much to give him a smooch and he had no complaints about that. They thrust her ass back, her tits forward and she swayed beguilingly as she walked.

Cal would lose it when he saw her like this. A shiver washed over Gideon when he thought about what he planned to do to them both when they got home later on that night.

Cal sat next to Patrick Carter, listening to a really great story about the ways Bainbridge Island had changed over the years. The man was a font of knowledge about so many things. Cal loved his stories and his asides. But what he loved more than that was the way the man simply accepted his grandson and his grandson’s two lovers. Without blinking an eye.

Cal hadn’t told his family yet. He was still working out a way to say it to communicate to them just how important Jules and Gideon were to him without making it sound like it was all about the sex or whatever. But Patrick, at eighty-four, didn’t seem bothered by it at all. If he was in town and saw Cal, he waved and always made the time to talk to him. He stopped in at Tart all the time as well, Cal knew.
