silence. “Nica’s going to stay until Monday.”
A little more of the sleep cleared from Tanner’s eyes as his smile widened. “Glad to hear it.”
She frowned. “You’re sure I’m not messing up any plans—”
“No plans.” Tanner picked up her jeans and handed them to her, before he lifted her into his arms, startling her into a laugh. “But how about a shower then back to bed? I need a little more than an hour’s worth of sleep a night. And Jensen’s downright mean if he doesn’t get at least seven hours.”
Tanner headed for the stairs and Jensen watched Nica glance over his brother’s shoulder at him. Wary, a little worried.
He grinned and followed along.
She had nothing to fear. He and Tanner didn’t do jealousy. At least, not of each other.
She’d learn. They’d teach her.
Oh man, would they teach her.
Chapter Five
Tanner rolled out of bed Sunday morning around ten, already smiling.
He’d never felt better.
But he was hungry as hell.
A quick glance back at the bed showed Jensen and Nica still fast asleep, Jensen curled around her back, an arm and a leg thrown over as if she might get away.
They’d be hungry too, and since he was first up, he’d make breakfast. Besides, Jensen couldn’t cook to save his life.
After pulling on a pair of sweats, he headed for the kitchen and pulled together the ingredients for pancakes, a smile on his face as he worked.
Last night… Hell, last night had been amazing. Nica was amazing and he’d never said that about another woman.
He’d never met a woman as sexually open or as sweet as Nica. She’d given herself over to them but hadn’t simply let them have her, like some women in a threesome did.
Just thinking about last night made his cock hard as he heated the griddle and mixed ingredients.
They still had questions, questions they needed answers to but—
“Can I give you a hand? Not that I don’t love seeing a man who knows his way around a kitchen…”
Tanner turned to see Nica standing at the end of the counter, watching him with a slight smile on her lips. He hadn’t heard her come downstairs but he’d turned on the TV on the counter and had one ear on CNN.
Her hair was mussed and fell in long, wavy strands around her shoulders. She wore Jensen’s Oxford shirt from last night, which was long enough to cover her almost to her knees.
She looked a little sleepy and a whole lot sexy and before he realized what he meant to do, he put down the whisk and the bowl and walked over to her.
Threading one hand through her hair, he dropped his mouth on hers for a rough, quick kiss. Not long enough to make him forget what he was doing, just enough to let her know he was happy to see her.
Which she could probably tell from the tent in the front of his sweats.
“I’ve got this under control. But I like company.”
Putting his hands around her waist, he lifted her onto the counter, close enough to touch but far enough away from the hot griddle. She gasped then laughed as she worked the shirt down under her bare ass, giving him a quick glimpse of the small triangle of curls on her pussy.
Fuck breakfast. He’d rather have her. But she needed to eat. “Hope you like pancakes.”
“I love pancakes.” She paused as she watched him. “Are you sure you don’t mind the company for today? I mean, if you have something better—”
“Believe it or not, honey, there’s absolutely nothing I’d rather do than spend today with you.” He slid a quick glance at her as he ladled pancake batter onto the hot surface. “I just hope you don’t find us too boring. We’re not exactly party animals.”
Which was probably truer than anything else he’d said. He and Jensen usually spent weekends working on the house, catching up on paperwork for the business or hanging out with friends.
They’d converted the basement into a guy cave, as one of the very few women they’d invited to spend the night had called it.
They called it a game room,
