looked at me, head cocked to one side. ‘Better?’

I grinned. ‘Yes, thank you.’

Dev watched us like he’d never seen us.

‘What’s wrong?’ I asked.

‘I’m just wondering when you guys became a couple and why didn’t I notice?’

I looked back at Nicky and he slid his arms more securely around, bringing me in against his body in a way that was less sexual and more romantic. It seemed weird in the shower all naked with another man, but there you are; if it works, don’t poke at it. I was trying to be smarter.

‘You were busy worrying about Asher,’ Nicky said.

Dev nodded. ‘True, and I’ll take thighs.’

Nicky grinned quick and fierce, more a baring of teeth, like a happy snarl. ‘We fuck both ends.’

‘I’d like to go down on her, while she goes down on you.’

‘That’s hard in the shower,’ I said.

‘Bed?’ Dev asked.

‘Normally, I’d say not only yes, but hell yes! But if the police call before I get some sleep I’m going to cry, so just this once let’s just have intercourse,’ I said.

Dev’s face showed a conflict of emotions, but finally he smiled and said, ‘Who am I to argue with the Queen of Tigers?’

‘Still not sure I like that title,’ I said.

‘You hated Mother of Tigers more,’ Nicky reminded me.

‘True.’

‘But I don’t think we’ll be fucking right away,’ he said.

‘Why not?’

‘Too much talking, not enough sex,’ he said, and motioned that he wasn’t hard anymore.

I glanced at Dev and found similar deflation. ‘I can fix that,’ I said, and knelt between them on the shower tiles, the water rushing around my knees.

‘So we get oral and intercourse; seems unfair,’ Dev said.

‘I like and can orgasm from both,’ I said, looking up at him from my knees.

‘I’ve had women orgasm from intercourse, but you’re a first for oral,’ he said.

‘Anita, will you please shut him up?’ Nicky asked.

I went down on Dev while he was still talking, stopping him in midsyllable. The feel of him in my mouth was, as always, amazing. I liked the sensation of men when they were small and soft and it was easy to take them all in my mouth, roll them around with my tongue, and bury my mouth against their bodies as close and tight as I wanted without choking or fighting my gag reflex, and as long as I kept him deep in my mouth he’d stay smaller. It was only as I began to draw back off him and suck him back into my mouth that he began to grow longer and thicker.

Nicky ran his hand through my wet hair and turned me to him. He wasn’t as small as he had been; just watching me go down on Dev and anticipating his turn had made him grow bigger, so that he filled my mouth more, and I had to fight a little around the beginnings of my gag reflex to bury my mouth against his body as far and tight as I could.

Nicky put his hand on the back of my head, holding me on him, but moved my hand from his thigh to wrap it around Dev so I could feel that the other man was thick and hard in my hand. The double sensation of my hand and mouth filled up with that eager hardness … They were both so warm, skin soft like muscled velvet to suck and stroke, so that it made me suck harder and faster on Nicky and stroke my hand up and down Dev’s shaft to curve over the round, thick silk of him.

Nicky wrapped his hand in my hair and pulled me away from his body. ‘I want inside you first,’ he said, his voice breathless. He used his handhold on my hair to push me toward Dev. I slid my mouth onto Dev but kept my hand on him, too, so that I was stroking the shaft and sucking and licking the head and first few inches.

He whispered, ‘Oh, my God.’

I felt Nicky’s hands on my waist and hips as he pulled me into place. I started to turn and say something, or look, but he pushed his hand into the back of my head, holding me down on Dev for a second. Without words he was clear what he wanted, me to go on Dev while he … I felt the head of him brush against my opening, but being in the water, even just a shower, had made me tighter even than normal, so that I felt the
