School teacher,
Julianne Matthews, has been married to her own real life Prince Charming, the
hunky Jared Matthews, for over a year and they couldn’t be happier. That is,
until Jared invites his old college buddy, Cole Richardson, to be a guest in
their home for the weekend. Cole is a wealthy investment banker from out of
state and has been toying with the idea of going into business with Jared for
some time. The weekend was supposed to be all about sorting out the details of
that business but when these three get into a room together for the first time,
the chemistry among them is something none of them had planned for. Julie
realizes that she’s just as attracted to Cole as she is to her husband and
would like nothing more than to be sandwiched between the two hot men in bed.
However, she knows that will probably never happen and feels completely guilty
for even thinking about it. Imagine her surprise when she finds out that
neither man finds the idea repulsive in any way and that they had both been
having similar thoughts all along. What will become of Julie’s perfect marriage
when her husband’s house guest gets invited into their bedroom?
Excerpt
“So did you have a good time with Jules today?”
Jared’s voice broke into his musing and almost made him jump. If he didn’t know
better, he would have thought the guy could read his damn mind.
“Ah, it was great. She showed me the place you
chose—good choice by the way—and we had some lunch and got to know each other a
little better.”
Jared nodded, taking a quick swig of his beer.
“Good, good. I was hoping you would.”
“Would what?”
“Get to know each other better.”
A slight feeling of discomfiture began creeping up
Cole’s spine at the line of conversation. He cleared his throat in an attempt
to ease some of it. “Um … yeah, we did.”
“And what did you think?”
Cole’s brows furrowed in perplexity. “Ah, I already
told you, the place is perfect. When I get back I’m going to finish up the
paperwork and you can look out for the first installment of the funds in your
account by Friday.”
Jared
grinned. “That’s great news buddy, thank you. But that’s not what I meant.”
“What did you mean then?”
“I meant what did you think of Julie?”
Silence settled between them for a long moment as
Cole assessed the question his friend had asked him. He took a drink from his
bottle to buy a little more time before responding. “Well I, ah, I think she’s
a wonderful woman. Obviously gorgeous, but also intelligent and witty. It was
pretty easy being in her company.”
“So in other words she makes your cock hard.”
Jared’s words were low and flat, but the cheeky grin he gave Cole made them
almost amusing.
Cole laughed softly, shaking his head in exasperation.
“Relax, Matthews. I’m not trying to poach your wife.”
Jared shrugged and took a swig of his beer. “Never
said you were.”
More silence followed. Cole’s uneasiness increased
and he chugged down some more beer in an attempt to quell it. Where the hell
was Jared going with this?
“Do you remember Natasha Prendergast?” The question
brought Cole up short—Natasha was a girl they’d both liked during college and
had ended up having their first threesome with. Well, it had been Jared’s
first. Cole had done it a time or two before that and he’d been the one to
suggest they try it. But how had the conversation gotten here? They hadn’t even
spoken about that in years. He was so busy trying to connect the dots that it
took him a moment to reply.
“Of course I do. How could I forget?” he said.
“Yeah, that was some night, huh?” Jared said,
cocking a brow at him.
“It was.”
“Ever thought about doing that sort of thing again?”
Cole’s brows furrowed. Okay. He hadn’t seen that one coming. “Uh, well, you’re assuming I haven’t.”
Jared’s bark of laughter was loud enough to be heard
over the other noisy patrons and the games playing on the screens above their
heads. “Touché. Well I haven’t,
that’s for sure. Not that I didn’t want to, but that’s not the sort of thing
you do with just anybody, you know?”
“Agreed. And for the record, I haven’t either. I was
just messing with you.”
Jared placed his now empty beer bottle on the
counter and beckoned to the waitress to bring another round before he spoke
again. “So it’s not something you would do again then?”
Cole inclined his head and studied the other man,
slowly beginning to see where this was going. He shuffled in his seat as the
discomfiture from earlier on began to dissipate and was slowly replaced by a
subtle excitement. If Jared was even contemplating what he was thinking, then
he certainly had something to be excited about. In an effort to play it cool
though, he waited until the waiter had brought their drinks before he gave his
response.
“I’d definitely love to do it again.”
Jared nodded but didn’t say anything. He just stared
at the beer bottle in his hand contemplatively. Finally his friend looked up at
him, a similar excitement brewing in his emerald eyes. “I’d love to do it again
too.”
“Yeah?”
“Oh yeah.”
Another long, deafening silence ensued. Cole had
already read between the lines and he couldn’t stop the surge of anticipation
that rose in his gut at the thought. But he wanted to make sure he wasn’t
jumping to the wrong conclusion. He wanted to hear Jared say the words. Looking
pointedly at the other man, he asked, “So what are you saying?”
Jared’s gaze met his as he replied, “I’m saying,
Cole, that I would love to share my wife with you.”
Cole’s breath hitched as the potent words slammed
into him, going straight to his cock. He expelled a harsh breath he hadn’t even
realized he was holding, but he was more than a little happy to know he’d been
correct in his assumption. “Damn! And here I’ve been praying all night that you
couldn’t tell how badly she’s been plaguing my mind.”
Jared chuckled, his face lighting up with mirth.
“Didn’t take a psychic to see that you were into her, my man. Or maybe it’s
because I know how you operate.”
“Maybe. But
tell me this, how do you know she’ll
be into it? You guys have obviously never done anything like that.”
“No, but I can tell she’s into you, too, and she has
a very open mind when it comes to sex.”
“I see.” Cole nodded, playing with the rim of his
bottle for a moment while he contemplated the situation. Finally, he asked, “So
would you just come right out and tell her that’s what we want to do?”
That’s what they’d done with Natasha and it turned
out she was just as game as they were. But Julie, now she might be a whole
different kettle of fish. If Jared was wrong and she wasn’t okay with it, then
it could make the situation extremely uncomfortable for them all.
“No, I don’t think so. I think the best way to
handle Julie is to show her what we
want to do with her.”
