The shots arrived, and Gio slid one over to Lucien before physically placing one in Calder’s hand as if he knew that his brain wasn’t in control of his body any longer. He watched as Gio clicked his shot glass on Lucien’s and then Calder’s. Tipping his head back, he sent the amber liquid down his long, sexy throat. Calder did the same without a thought. The burn was enough to wake him out of his stupor.
Sucking in a harsh breath, he coughed several times while slamming his shot glass on the bar. Gio grabbed his hand again and shoved a drink into it. Without thinking, Calder sipped it, relieved that it was his gin and tonic. The addition of more alcohol to his system probably wasn’t the smartest, but at least it had gotten rid of his coughing.
When he could breathe, he took a deep drink and set the glass on the bar to find Gio smiling at him while Lucien’s hand continued to dig possessively into his hip.
“You okay?” Lucien inquired. For once, the question didn’t sound spiteful or mean. There was genuine concern in his tone.
Calder managed a small nod and Gio laughed.
“Of course he’s okay. What are you drinking, sweetness?” Before Calder could answer, Gio leaned in and licked his bottom lip, sucking it into his mouth for a second, then releasing it with a wet pop. “Mmm…gin and tonic. Not bad.”
Calder barely heard the words. It was just a rush of blood past his ears as it raced to his steadily hardening dick.
As Gio moved away, he reached past Calder and pulled Lucien close. “And what are you drinking?” Calder watched as Gio licked his way into Lucien’s slack, welcoming mouth. He didn’t know what turned him on more—actually kissing Gio or watching Gio kiss Lucien. It defied all logic, but it was clear that his libido had zero interest in logic. He only wanted to know all the wonderful things Gio could do with his mouth.
Gio released Lucien and licked his own lips slowly. His dark eyes had turned black as his pupils dilated with desire. “I can tell this is going to be a fun night already. I suggest we head to my place so we can get more comfortable and less likely to be arrested.”
“We?” Calder croaked out.
Gio’s hungry smile softened a little. “We. Your friend here looks like he knows his way around a threesome. You?”
“No. I—no,” Calder stammered. He couldn’t help but take a tiny step backward, not that there was much room for him to move, but he was stunned that Lucien didn’t try to pull away from him. If anything, Lucien’s fingers dug deeper, and he felt like the bigger man was working to tug him inside his protective embrace.
Strong fingers caressed his cheek again. “Don’t worry, sweetheart. We’ll take good care of you. No one has to do anything they’re not comfortable with. I’m all about consent and having a good time.” Gio looked up at Lucien. “That’s my offer. I want you both or nothing at all.”
Calder felt more than heard a rumble up Lucien’s chest. “Calder won’t go for it, but I’m down to party.”
He immediately bristled at Lucien’s bold assumption. “I’ll go. I’ll party.”
Gio’s smile was positively triumphant, and maybe his gaze was a little wicked when he looked at Lucien. For a heartbeat, Calder wondered if he’d just been played by Lucien, or even both of them, but then Gio stepped into him, grinding what felt like an impressively hard cock against his own. All thought evaporated from his brain and he groaned softly, not caring who the hell heard him.
“Oh, we are going to have a very good time tonight,” Gio purred in his ear.
Chapter Five
Gio’s entire body hummed with anticipation as he led the two sexy men into his condo. It had been a while since he’d had a threesome, but picking between these two had been impossible.
Lucien was a tall hottie with silky-looking dark skin and a face that drew the eye.
And Calder, holy hell, was he attractive with his slim form and inky, dark hair. Crystal-blue eyes stared at him from gorgeous Asian features.
Though the two men knew each other, it was obvious they were venturing into new erotic territory, and Gio couldn’t wait to experience sex with them both. He didn’t know which one he’d rather have fuck him—or better yet, he could watch them fuck each other. There was nothing like a good show, and these two together were fire.
“Nice place,” Calder said as he looked at the living area.
Gio threw a glance at his blue couch and love seat. He liked color, and his living room reflected that in the rainbow pillows and the throw over the back of the love seat. More color showed in the art on every wall. He shrugged. “I like some flash.”
“I can see that. It’s pretty.” Calder opened and closed his hands, nerves tearing at him while Lucien just seemed ready to go.
Something needed to be done to get Calder out of his own head and into his haze of desire. There was no point in thinking about things. They needed action.
Grinning, Gio reached for the buttons of his shirt, unfastening them one at a time. His smile grew as Calder’s gaze followed each one, and he licked his lips when the shirt fell from Gio’s shoulders.
Gio’s eyes slipped to Lucien to find a matching predatory look on his face. Well, he definitely had everyone’s attention, but he had no interest in putting on a show while Lucien and Calder remained at arm’s length. “Are you guys going to join me?” he asked as his hands went to the fly of his jeans.
Lucien stepped forward, pressing him into the wall with his big body. His lips came down over Gio’s, capturing his gasp. Gio moaned into the kiss as he opened his mouth. Lucien slipped his tongue inside and twined it with his, sending a tremble to his damn knees. He shivered as Lucien deepened the kiss, then pulled away, his dark eyes staring into Gio’s. “Do that to Calder,” Gio ordered in a harsh whisper.
Something Gio couldn’t quite read passed over Lucien’s face; then he turned toward Calder. Lucien repeated his actions, backing Calder into the same wall so that his shoulder brushed against Gio’s. But this time, it was almost like he was moving in slow motion. Was it hesitance on Lucien’s part? Or maybe he was giving Calder a chance to retreat.
Gio’s breath caught in his throat as Calder stared up at Lucien, his eyes wide and lips parted. The sparks between them threatened to set the room aflame.
But the strange hesitation remained.
Lucien slowly lowered his face, stopping so that a bare centimeter separated them. Gio could feel the crackling electricity between them in his fucking balls. Before Lucien closed that last distance, Calder shot up on his toes and slammed their mouths together. Holy hell, he could come from merely watching that kiss. They devoured each other, Calder’s arms coming up to wrap around Lucien’s neck. Lucien tugged him even closer.
Gio held his breath, so turned-on he couldn’t see straight. The two men looked utterly lost in each other, and for a heartbeat, a flicker of discomfort cut through him. Was he an intruder here? Should he leave them alone to explore this thing between them?
The thought had barely shimmied through his head when they turned twin expressions of desire onto him. His heart flipped for a new reason, and his cock twitched with new excitement. No, he was definitely not going anywhere.
