a woman, and she had needs. It was time to lay it out there and see which way the wind would blow.
“Why don’t you just tell us what you’d like to see happen next,” Seth suggested. “We can hang out here all night. Dance and party with everyone and have a great time.”
“Or we can slip away and have a private party,” Mike suggested, leaning against the ledge, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye with a smoldering look that singed her insides.
Seth cleared his throat. “With either one of us, or both of us. Really Abby, the choice is yours.”
“I think she’s fully aware what her choices are,” Mike countered. “It’s up to Abby to decide what she wants. We’re all adults here, and both Seth and I can handle you making a choice. If you want to be with only one of us, that’s fine. Hey, if you don’t want either of us, that’s fine, too. So, Abby. What do you want?”
She looked at both of them, so different in so many ways, and knew she’d regret it the rest of her life if she didn’t take what they were offering. “I’m going to be honest here. I’ve never done anything like this before.” She looked down at her shoes, her dress, the persona that so wasn’t her, and felt the tremble of nervousness shaking her from the inside out. If Chad saw her now, racked with indecision, he’d laugh at her.
Fuck off, Chad. Her head shot up, and she looked them both in the eye. “What I’d really like is to get out of here without too much commotion or attention and spend some time alone. With both of you. Whatever happens after that . . . well, we’ll just take it a moment at a time.”
Mike lifted a brow and nodded. Seth smiled and said, “Then that’s what we’ll do. Come on, let’s go back to the party for a bit, then we’ll slip out.”
She sighed in relief and followed them inside, spotted Blair and Callie, and excused herself while they dragged her off to the ladies’ room.
“Well?” Blair asked as soon as she was sure they were alone in there.
“I told them I wanted to go off alone with them.” God, she couldn’t believe she’d done it, but she had. She really was going to have a three-way with Mike and Seth.
Callie squealed. “You are going to have so much fun! And I can’t wait to hear every sordid detail!”
“Take notes if you have to. You want my pen and some paper?” Blair added.
Abby rolled her eyes, grateful for her friends’ teasing to diffuse some of the tension frying her nerves. “No thanks. I think I’ll have vivid enough memories to last a lifetime.” Her smile died, and she grabbed their hands. “I can’t believe I’m doing this. Can I do this?” She felt queasy.
“Of course you can,” Blair said. “You need this, and more important, honey, you deserve it. Now, go have some fun and fuck your brains out.”
Seth watched Abby and her friends retreat to the ladies’ room.
“They’re going to talk about us, you know,” Mike said.
“Of course they are.” He looked over at Mike. “You don’t think they’ll try to talk her out of it, do you?”
Mike laughed. “I doubt it. I saw the grins on her friends’ faces when they were peeking through the drapes while we were out on the balcony. I’d say they were instrumental in getting Abby to agree to this in the first place.”
“Ah. Well, that’s good.” He kept his eye trained on the bathroom door as if he expected Abby to bolt out of there any second and head for the nearest exit. “How are we going to handle this, anyway?”
“Same way we’ve done any other woman we’ve shared before.”
Seth frowned. “Abby’s not like any other woman we’ve shared, Mike. You know that. She’s . . . different.”
“You’ve got a thing for her, don’t you?”
“A thing?”
Mike grinned. “Yeah. A thing. And don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about.”
“I don’t have a thing for her. I just don’t want to see her get hurt.”
“I hardly think Abby’s looking at this with any romance blooming in her eyes. She’s looking for some great sex, and that’s it. And she’s so damn tense I’ll bet she could use a couple dozen orgasms. So we’ll give them to her.”
Now, that thought made him grin. Seth was looking forward to making her come. Over and over
