Free Three Wicked Days by Trista Ann Michaels Page B

going to head out to the water
     for a dip. You two talk.” He waved his hand as he headed toward the ocean. “Or whatever
     it is that you people do.”
    Steve shook his head in amusement and dropped down on the towel next to her, his eyes
     raking over her curves, sending a shock of desire through her veins. “Nice swimsuit.”
    She smiled seductively. “You’ve seen it before.”
    “Yeah, but that day you were taking it off, so I was more interested in what lay beneath
     it as opposed to the suit itself.”
    She chuckled and settled next to him. “What did you find out about the plane,” she
     asked before taking a sip of her drink.
    “They’ll be finished with it tonight and we can head out first thing in the morning.”
    Kayla nodded and glanced back out at the ocean. She didn’t want to go back. She wanted
     to remain here, keep the relationship she had with Steve. Why in the hell did she
     let herself fall in love with him?
    “So what’s this fantasy you have?” she asked.
    He moved his gaze around the beach. Several women stood at the bar a few feet away,
     and he nodded toward them. “You know. I’ve always wanted to have a threesome.”
    “Really?” She turned to study the women, her brow creased in thought.
    She didn’t like the idea of sharing him at all, but since he’d catered to her fantasy,
     should she to his? Could she really watch him touch another woman? Her stomach knotted
     at the thought, but she kept her emotions to herself for now.

    Steve frowned slightly. Kayla’s reaction wasn’t quite what he had been expecting.
     It wasn’t indifference, but it wasn’t excitement either. Maybe something in between?
     He tried to decipher her feelings as he watched her. He didn’t really care for jealous
     drama queens, but he’d at least wanted to get some sort of rise out of her.
    “You’re okay with that?”
    She shrugged. “I’ve done it before. Twice actually.”
    He blinked, the vision of her kissing another woman making his heart skip a beat.
     “Excuse me?”
    “What?” she asked with a grin. “I don’t look like the type?”
    “Well, no. It’s not that.” He wasn’t quite sure what to say. Her announcement had
     just ruined what he’d had planned. “I was actually only looking to get a rise out
     of you, then you spout off that you’ve already done it. Damn, maybe I should rethink
     this fantasy thing.”
    “Rethink it?” she asked with a grin.
    “Well, yeah. I mean if you’re willing, hell, bring ’em on.”
    Kayla laughed and shoved at his arm. “Stop.”
    He smiled and tucked a curl behind her ear.
    “Do you really want that?” she asked, just a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.
    “No. I’ve been there, done that. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be.”
    “No?”
    “No. It’s nice. Sexy.” He shrugged a shoulder. “Just too impersonal, I think.” Or
     at least for what he had in mind with Kayla. “Know what I mean?”
    “Yeah, I think so.” She licked her lips and let out a breath.
    Was it in relief? Did the idea of another woman touching him bother her? He hoped
     so. That would mean he was making progress.
    “So what is the fantasy you had in mind for tonight?” she asked.
    He just smiled. “All in due time. Right now I’d rather hear more about those threesomes
     you’ve participated in.”
    Her cheeks glowed with a tinge of pink as she made herself more comfortable on the
     towel. Steve thought she looked adorable and tried his best to hide the grin. “Well?”
    She frowned. “I’m getting to it.” She took a sip of her drink, then set it to the
     side. Stalling, he was sure.
    “The first time was when I was in college. You know the usual experimental stuff.”
    “Yeah?”
    “Yeah.”
    His lips quirked. “Did you enjoy it?”
    She eyed him through her lashes, a hint of a smile tugging at her lips. “None of your
     business.”
    “Ah come on. Give a guy details,” he taunted, poking at her leg with his fingertip.
    “Use
