On the outside, I remained calm. Inside, my heart was punching a hole through my chest. It seemed like a lifetime had passed before she shook her head. It wasn’t until she rested her hand on my thigh that I allowed myself to relax.
“It was wonderful, Rich. I loved giving you what you need.”
“What about you? I can—”
She waved me off before I could finish. “I can’t be alone right now. Just stay with me. I’ll have everything I need.”
“I’ve never known a sex addict to turn down sex,” I said while eyeing her skeptically.
“Have you ever known a sex addict?”
I chewed my lip as I mulled that one over. None of it made sense. Braxton seemed perfectly in control of whatever desires lurked behind her brown eyes. They weren’t the driving force of her actions.
So what could have driven her to think the worse of herself, to see only the ugliest parts? We all had them. Braxton feared hers while Houston wielded, Loren flaunted, and I kept them buried.
“No, I guess not.”
Feeling like I could trust my legs again, I stood and helped Braxton to her feet. The bus rumbled to life, and the moment I let go of Braxton’s arms, the rig pitched forward, sending her back into my arms. My back connected with the door before I caught my balance while holding Braxton against my chest.
“Let me return the favor,” I whispered even though we were alone. Well, mostly, if you didn’t count the driver who was separated from the rest of the bus by a door. My dick twitched in my jeans at the thought of going down on Brax. I’d been wondering what her pussy tasted like since I first heard her play.
Too eager to wait for her answer, I walked us the two steps it took to reach the bed before shoving her down on it.
“You don’t have to do this,” she told me, reversing our roles. If it had been my friends in my shoes earlier, it would never have crossed their minds to turn her down.
Houston was too demanding, and Loren too entitled.
Braxton and I found common ground in our first instinct being to deny ourselves for the sake of others. “I-I’m okay. We can just talk and get to know each other.”
You don’t want to know me.
It would only shatter the illusion she was already clinging to.
“Sure,” I said, pretending I’d play along. “I’ll ask the first question.” Crouching before her, I removed her boots before standing back up. That damn dress was next to go.
“Um…okay.”
I took the time to remove her black bra and thong, both lace like the stockings adorning her legs. I left those on. My gaze raked her naked body, but Braxton didn’t cower or move to cover herself. She let me look my fill. When I felt my dick waking up for round two, I pushed Braxton on her back before climbing on top of her, fully clothed. This wasn’t about me. If my dick came to play, I’d spend the drive to Denver fucking the memory of every man that came before me from her mind until there was only me.
“Would you rather I eat you from the front or behind? Frankly, I’m partial to you sitting on my face.”
Sure, Oni asked me to find a way to keep three stubborn rock gods from quitting each other. I wasn’t so sure my vagina was the tool she had in mind, though. Sridhar was ruthless enough not to care how I got it done, but she would disapprove of me being stupid enough to fall for them. If I took up the charge and somehow pulled it off, I’d be a national hero. Maybe even a savior of the world since the idols’ reach was global.
I snorted.
The three of them acted more like prom kings with huge chips on their shoulders—broad as those shoulders might be.
My hand found and desperately gripped Rich’s broad shoulder when he asked how I’d like my pussy eaten. It felt like I was falling even though I was lying down.
Rich was the perfect anchor.
Sensing that I needed soothing, he peppered my neck, shoulder, and breasts with kisses while waiting for my answer.
I wanted this night to be about him, so I tried turning him down. He’d seen right through me as I’d seen through him. I didn’t know he’d been making room in his heart for me until I allowed his best friend to have me.
