tends to get very dry.   We need to keep it moist.”
    She lifted her glass to her mouth and took a sip of
the heady wine.   A rich, deep red, it was
deliciously earthy.   Britt watched as
Matthias danced around the kitchen.   He
threw in some sliced mushrooms and shallots after turning the steaks over once
more.   She was enamored with his kitchen
expertise, as she had none.   Long hours
weren’t conducive to cooking at home often.   Take out was her best friend.   Matthias handed her a handful of silverware and napkins and pointed to
the table.
    In a flash, a set of baked potatoes materialized from
the oven, and the food was moved to the large scarred wood surface.   He brought out three plates, all loaded with
a huge steak covered in mushrooms and a creamy wine sauce, a loaded baked
potato, and a pile of tender asparagus he’d pulled from the stove.   Matthias opened another bottle of wine as
Nicolas returned to the living space, clean and changed.
    Tension filled the air.   It hadn’t been there prior to Nicolas
returning. The men eyed one another, but nothing was said as they sat down to
eat in silence.   Her stomach gurgled in
hunger, and both sets of eyes turned to her.   Heat flooded her face as she shrugged her shoulders in
embarrassment.   Britt cut into her meat
and brought the first bite to her mouth.   It melted over her tongue, and she released a moan of delight.
    “This has to be the best thing I’ve ever eaten.”
    She smiled at Matthias and was cut short when she saw
the uncontrolled lust on his features.   She turned to Nicolas and saw nearly the same look.   She returned her gaze to her plate and began
to cut into the next bite.   As she raised
the fork to her mouth, she saw both men pause to watch her.   She plopped the bite between her lips and
made sure she didn’t moan as she had on the first bite, no matter how much she
wanted to.
    The rest of the meal sped by quickly with little
conversation.   The unease between them
was palpable.   It was also confusing
considering how comfortable she felt with Matthias.   She helped clear the plates, but they took
everything from her and made her sit down.   Nicolas refilled her glass and helped Matthias in the kitchen.
    She giggled to herself.   Two hot, sexy men who both wanted her had
served her a delicious meal, cleaned up, and made her sit through it all.   Could it get better than that?   As she took another sip, she knew the wine
had to be going to her head.   It could be
the only explanation she had as to what was going through her head.  
    Britt didn’t want Matthias or Nicolas.   She wanted them both.  
    They moved with efficiency through the kitchen and
were cleaned up in no time.   She was just
finishing her glass when they turned out the lights.   The warm glow from the fire in the living
room cast a dancing light across the walls.   She looked down at her attire and suddenly didn’t feel as sexy as she
wanted to at the moment.   Nicolas’
clothes hung from her body and made her look like an orphan.
    Something also told her neither would mind.   She tugged the sweater over her head as she
moved closer to the fireplace.   Britt
still wore her scrubs below, but they weren’t enough to keep her warm for
long.   The fire helped, but what she
really wanted was the two of them warming her up.   “I need help staying warm.”
    A light came to Matthias’ eye as he stalked
closer.   Nicolas stood at the fray,
watching her intently.   Matthias leaned
down to capture the sweater and pulled it back over her.   “You’ve had too much to drink.”
    “I only had three glasses.”
    “Do you drink often?”
    “Never.”
    Matthias lifted her in his arms and began to carry her
back to the room she’d slept in.   Warmth
filled her as he neared the bed.   She
captured his chin and kissed him firmly on the lips.   He dropped her onto the bed and sat down
beside her, deepening the kiss before breaking away.   He
