Point of Contention (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

Point of Contention

Kay moved south when she got the opportunity to work with her

old friend and paramour, Travis, the head chef at a rural hunting

and fishing lodge. Her newly acquired education as a pastry chef

will allow her to spend time with him and hone her craft before

deciding where to open her bakery.

After seeing a photo of Travis and his business partner, Stuart,

standing under the lodge sign, she wants to experience the two

men at the same time. Since her divorce, she'd abandoned other

people's ideas of propriety and learned what pleased her sexual y.

Travis is game for adventure, but Stuart is staid and resistant. In

teasing them with her idea of a threesome, she realizes having

these two amazing men love her at the same time is her ultimate

fantasy, but making it come true wil take some finessing.

Prologue

From the office window, he watched her long legs as she jogged

the path on the far side of the compound. The distance gave him

perspective he knew he desperately needed. She was off limits to him

in all ways. “Hell,” he said aloud, “she’s Travis’s woman, hands off!”

How many times in the last months had he told himself the same thing

and none of the times did it help. The fact that he’d locked his door

and was now fisting his cock at the sight of her was completely out of

character for him.

Until now, if he saw a woman and was interested, he approached,

made his pitch, and worked with the results. Most times, he wound up

spending time with the woman in question, and a few times he’d been

rejected. But he’d always made the contact. It was so out of the norm

for him to covet this woman that he’d resorted to masturbating to her

image as she exercised within his view. His thighs ached holding his

weight while he stood beside the window making the rhythmic

motions. Stuart got a strange feeling of forbiddance about the act he

was practicing, yet the thrill offset the need to stop, rather prompted

him to continue until he shot his load, capturing most of it in his palm and reaching for the tissues to clean himself.

The fact that they hadn’t met yet was just one more unexplainable

side to his feelings. He’d put off the inevitable as long as he could.

While he hadn’t acknowledged the idea to anyone verbally, he knew

the timing of his last trip was carefully planned to coincide with her

arrival. Giving her and Travis time to settle in together was important

to both of them. He moved back to his desk chair and grabbed his

coffee mug, the liquid now cold. The papers scattered on the desktop

before him were a blur of numbers and letters. None of it interested

him, hadn’t since the decision was made to offer Kadence the one-

year contract as pastry chef for Agrarian Lodge. Now it was too late

to change his mind, even if it meant his sanity. Forcing himself, he

focused on the work before him, anything to take his mind off her.

Since his return last night, he’d read her employment papers twice

more, the photograph attached now imprinted on his brain. With a

resigned sigh, he knew he’d memorized it the first time he’d seen it.

While it was a stodgy passport type, he’d taken one look at her and

his heart had slammed against his chest wall. Her dark hair was pulled

back from her face, and she wore no makeup. There was no smile for

the camera, only a full face picture. It should have been ordinary, but

it wasn’t. That was part of his problem. The woman staring back at

him from the print was anything but ordinary even in two dimensions.

He understood how Travis had become enamored by her, even

though their relationship was long distance and, as he kept

reinforcing, just platonic friends. In the more than ten years he’d

known Travis, he understood “female friends” wasn’t a term the other

man embraced. He was a hands-on kind of guy, not one to shy away

from physical contact. That was great, for it worked for Travis. He

held no illusions of long-term stability. He was more of a flash-and-

burn kind of guy, using up all the emotion he carried in a short time

and becoming bored quickly. Kadence “Kay” Farrell was the

exception.

With a pronounced sigh, he mentally decided that if she was as

good a pastry chef as reported, that was all that would matter. After

all, his business was taking care of his guests, and with the remote

setting of the lodge, meals were a large part of the entertainment. So

this afternoon, he’d attend the regular Wednesday afternoon

supervisors’ meeting and finally meet her. Hopefully, she’d get out of

his brain, allowing him to return to some level of efficiency he used to know. He’d imagined that she spoke with a lisp or had a cackle laugh

that grated on his nerves. Anything to break the strain of his

unabashed lust for the woman his best friend was in love with. A

woman he’d never met and was now locked into working with for the

next twelve months.

He knew a year was a long time to ache for a woman, especially if

she was so close at hand—hand being his operative word. He shook

his head at the concept that he’d spend the next months tugging on his

cock for sexual satisfaction instead of being buried deep inside her

pussy or ass. A shiver ran through him when he contemplated how

she’d suck him off, if she’d swallow his length down her throat.

Laughing aloud, he said, “Maybe she doesn’t suck cock,” but he

sobered quickly, remembering she’d kept Travis enamored for two

years. This woman had to have something special to keep his

attention. Stuart wondered if he’d ever find out for himself.

Chapter One

“If you’re not the lead dog, the view never changes.”

-Anonymous

Sun-warmed and physically exhausted, Kadence stood under the

shower spray, the hot water erasing some of the exertion and stress. It

would be silly to be nervous about meeting her new employer, yet

there was an air of apprehension around her as she dressed. The move

had gone easier than planned, all her belongings unboxed in their new

home. Or at least what she’d brought with her. The rest was in storage

in a facility in New Jersey. For now, her clothes and favorite books

were all she would need. Her position as pastry chef for the Agrarian

Lodge had many perks. Her two-room apartment was one, as well as

all her meals. Meals she would now be in charge of, some of the time.

Pulling on clean chinos and a soft pink T-shirt, she added a hint of

mascara and tinted her lips red with a gloss. Comfortable sneakers

were tied in place, and she was ready for her second managers’

meeting.

Last week, she’d sat in and gotten a feel for how the place was
