Saint James, Elle - Unbridled and Unhitched [The Double Rider Men's Club 7] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (8 page)

“Well, I guess my mother would be proud, too. She’s already given up on me getting married. How come you don’t want to get married?”

Alexis sipped a small glass of orange juice. She shrugged. “I have a job that I love. And I travel quite a bit. Sometimes I pack up and take off with no appreciable notice, which I also love. But I never felt current career choice was conducive to a permanent relationship.”

“Interesting.” He munched on a strip of bacon. “So what you’re telling me is, you aren’t going to kick your shoes off, get pregnant, and start spending lots of time in my kitchen, is that right?”

She laughed out loud. “I’d say that is exactly right. That was never the perfect life for me.”

He nodded. “Maybe we have more in common than I originally could have imagined.”

“What? No American dream life for you either?”

He shrugged. “I’m not against it for others or in general principle. But it never was what I longed to do. I also love traveling. My job is very demanding. Plus, I own a working ranch with Derek. He spends more time on it than I do, but I get out there now and again. All in all, I guess I never felt I had time to devote to a permanent relationship either.”

“Why were you angry that I was at your club party? Was I lacking in some way?”

“No. Please.” His hand went up like a stop sign. “You’re lovely. I was angry that the security was so lax that you were able to wander in without being stopped. I shudder to think what might have happened if a minor had come in instead of you. Or someone less forgiving about our lifestyle and sexual proclivities. Honestly, it was nothing personal.”

“I see. Well, like I said, I was just looking for a place to rest.”

“So you could think about your shitty life, is that right?”

She smiled. “Yes. That too.”

“So tell me about it. Maybe I can help.”

Derek strolled back into the room. “Sorry. I have meeting coming up later this afternoon. Also, Dillon called. He can’t get the results of your blood tests until the day after tomorrow. I told him not to worry.”

“Right,” Jackson said. “It’s not like anything is going to change regardless of what we learn.

“But later on we should maybe report it and make sure it wasn’t the bartender.”

She nodded. “I hope not. He made a great drink. It certainly packed a punch.”

“That it did.” Jackson sat back and smiled. “So tell us about your shitty life.”

“You have a shitty life? I hope we’ve made it better.” Derek dug into his food with gusto.

She smiled. “Honestly, you already have. Being drugged and married is a huge step up from where I was before.”

“Do tell.”

She also leaned back in her comfy chair. “It all started when one of my girlfriends talked me into going to a speed dating event with her. That was my first mistake.”

“Why’d you go?”

She shrugged. “I guess I was lonely. My friend is always oversharing all her amazing sexual experiences, and I guess I wanted in on it for once.” She had finished eating and pushed her plate away. “I met several nice men, three minutes at a time. And while I didn’t find anyone too intriguing, one of the men in the room found me very fascinating.”

“That doesn’t sound very good,” Derek said.

“He wasn’t even one of the participants of the event. He was with the group who set it up. But he developed a crush on me and started following me everywhere. It was annoying. And the thing is, he’s not mean. Just always around me. I told him to stop, but he hadn’t ever even touched me in a threatening way. He always makes me feel like I’ve kicked a puppy when I reject his overabundant attention.”

“I assume you’ve called the police,” Jackson said.

Alexis shook her head. “Well, I’ve called them. However, the cops can’t do anything unless he threatens me. But he hasn’t. He’s just a nuisance. So I took some time off and left town.”

“That seems like a bit excessive to leave town.”

“Maybe, but the worst part is, I’m extra screwed because he’s the nephew of the regional director where I work.”

Jackson frowned. “Could he have been the one who drugged us?”

“I seriously doubt it. I didn’t see him here. And trust me, if I’d seen him, you would have seen me bolt in the opposite direction with him hot on my trail.” She shook her head.

“No one knows I’m here. Las Vegas is a place I routinely avoid. Everyone who knows me also knows this information. I got some cash for my trip, but unfortunately, I grabbed the wrong credit card. I only have my work credit card. They frown very heavily if you use it while on vacation.”

“Don’t you think they’d make an exception in this case?”

“No. A friend of mine used hers when she got stranded at an airport during a snowstorm and they almost fired her. I won’t take the chance. Besides, I don’t think even the best salesman in the world could sell a Las Vegas credit charge as an emergency of any kind.”

Derek nodded. “I guess that would be a tough sell. I don’t blame you. What makes you think he will leave you alone after this trip?”

Alexis shrugged. “A friend of a friend who knows this man, told me that he’s done this before to other women more than a few times. He follows the object of his desire for a while, but is easily distracted. I’m hoping he’s found someone else to follow once I get back. And the truth is I really needed to get away. I just hope he’s moved on to some other unfortunate woman by the time I return.”

Derek asked, “How much longer did you plan to stay here?”

“Another three days until my return flight leaves. I can’t leave earlier without paying a hefty fee.”

“How did you pay for your airline ticket without a credit card?”

She shook her head, so angry with herself over it she could scream. “Oh, I pulled it out to purchase my airline ticket online. And that’s right where I left it, back on my computer desk, pretty as you please.”

“I’m sorry for the lengths you’ve had to go to for this idiot. He sounds like a psycho.” Jackson’s expression hardened.

She shrugged. “More like a harmless pest. I mean, he’s never angry or abusive. He’s never threatening. He just shows up. At my home. At my work. At the store. He even followed me on an out-of-town business trip. When I mentioned it to my regional director, she acted like it was great that he’d taken an interest in me.” She rolled her eyes in memory.

“If I were in charge, I’d fire your director and have her nephew put in jail.”

Alexis smiled at him. “Thanks for that.”

He shook his head. “I’m serious. I don’t ever let people like that fuck with my employees.”

She smiled again and fell a little bit in love with him at his adamant stance on her untenable situation. “I wish I worked for you.”

A half smile lifted the corner of his mouth. “Then you’d be fighting
me
off.”

“Likely I wouldn’t fight.”

They stared at each other for several seconds until Derek interjected, “Then you could come to me and I’d kick his ass. Or help share you since you aren’t planning to fight him off.”

They both turned to him with a smile. He put his fork down. “I’d like to propose something. Hear me out before you say no, okay?”

“Go for it,” she said. She already missed these two amazing men, and they hadn’t even parted company yet.

“It’s clear to me that the three of us are very sexually compatible. I say we spend the next three days together.” Jackson grinned and looked over at her. “Why not? We discussed this earlier. We’re all here. We’re all of age. We can do what we like and explore each other. What do you say?”

Alexis pushed out a relieved sigh. What he said was true about the sex. Plus, it solved her immediate financial issues.

“I’d love to spend the next three days with the two of you.” She had plenty of cash for her final night alone once they left. “And quite frankly I’d like to further discuss the stage show I watched two nights ago.”

Derek smiled. “Awesome. I missed the show. If we could recreate it, I’d be a happy man. In more ways than just one.”

“Excellent.” Alexis realized right then that she should have kept the silky robe on instead of getting dressed. Her nipples hardened at the mere thought of experiencing what she’d seen onstage. “When would we do this? Today?”

“Yes,” both men said in unison.

Jackson pushed the food cart back into the hallway and then followed Derek and Alexis into his bedroom. He missed this about having a woman in their lives. Instant and always-available sex whenever he wanted it.

They hadn’t experienced any form of feminine stability in their lives in several years. None of their previous encounters of flirting with permanence had ever been nearly as satisfying as only one day spent in the company of Alexis.

He entered the room and saw that Derek and Alexis were in a tight embrace, kissing like their lives depended on it.

He couldn’t wait for his turn. He especially couldn’t wait to show her all the delights of double-penetration sex. His cock pulsed at the very thought. By the time he walked the few short steps to them, he had a full-blown, raging hard-on.

Jackson moved in and pressed himself against her back. Alexis moaned as he nibbled the back of her neck. He pushed his cock into her ass cheek to say hello.

She and Derek broke the kiss and started immediately pulling clothes off. Although she had dressed, she hadn’t bothered with a bra, and her shirt easily pooled at their feet the moment he slid it off her shoulders, leaving her naked from the waist up. Her jeans and panties were just as easily tugged off to join her shirt on the floor.

Derek lowered his head to capture one of her pert nipples into his mouth. Jackson rubbed his bare chest against her back, and soon pushed his hand down her belly, and then right between her legs.

She whispered, “Oh, God,” the second he grazed her clit. Her butt pressed into his groin. His cock, now as stiff as a telephone pole, gouged into her bare ass cheek. She was as soft as he was hard.

He wanted to please her as much as she already pleased him. The taste of her skin, scent of her hair, the feel of her sexy body, and her sublime reaction of his touch sent his head spinning into permanent possibilities.

He’d never felt so comfortable with a new lover as he did with Alexis. It always seemed like he just learned what a woman liked, and she was out of their lives.

With Alexis, every touch he made was instinctive. Every time he barely brushed her skin with his fingertips, he got exactly the reaction from her that he intended. He removed his hand from her pussy and jammed his fingers into his mouth to suck up her essence.

“Damn, you taste good enough to eat.”

Derek broke their kiss. “I want a taste, too.” Instead of reaching down between her legs, he fell to his knees and buried his face against her pussy.

Jackson’s mouth actually watered watching his friend go down on her. He remembered clearly how amazing it was to suck her clit and feast on her pussy. She tasted so sweet.

She started moaning and writhing in his arms. Derek grabbed her hips with firm hands and pushed his face further into her pussy.

“Don’t come yet,” Jackson whispered in her ear. He punctuated his statement by biting down on her earlobe so she knew he was serious.

“But I’m close,” she whispered back.

Derek pulled away, and she promptly slumped in his arms like a string puppet with her wires cut.
