held her tightly and groaned as she kissed him back.
The kiss softened then, a sensual assault on her unresisting lips.
His tongue sought entry to her heat and she opened willingly, sucking at his tongue, nipping at it with her teeth.
He pulled away so quickly she almost fell back onto the lounge.
"Oh hell, Lee. I am so sorry. I didn't mean to do that."

She watched him as he paced, unsure how to help him. Her lips tingled from his possession, her entire body humming in appreciation.
"I'm sorry," he said again. "I've got to go."
He grabbed his coat, stomped into his shoes and was gone before she could form a coherent sentence. Lee leaned back against the sofa again, trying to understand what had just happened. Had he really admitted to wanting her as much as she wanted him?

Tracey arrived home to an empty house. Well, wasn't that a kick in the pants? She'd rushed home from the airport expecting to find both of her lovers chomping at the bit to see her, and here she was, all alone.
She wandered through the apartment wondering what to do now.
She hadn't really thought beyond finding her lovers and making sure they both knew how much she had missed them.
The blinking light on the answering machine caught her attention, so she hurried over to see if either of them had left her a message. She pressed the play button.
The first was a hang up. So was the second. Gavin's strong deep voice filled the room on the third.
"Hi, Trace. I decided to do some extra work at the office. So give me a call when you get this message, and I'll come straight home.
Miss you honey. See you soon."
The next message was virtually identical but from Lee.
"Welcome home, Trace. I've got some work to catch up on but if you call me when you get home, I'll be there as soon as I can."
Uncertain what to make of their messages, Tracey picked up the phone to call them back, but hesitated when she couldn't decide who to call first. Shit, that was the problem with being in two separate relationships. Every time she did something with one of her lovers, she felt she had to race off and give the other equal time and, of Ebook piracy is stealing. It is a federal offense.

Accidental Love for Three

course, who to do what with first was always a question she was trying to answer.
More perplexing, though, was the fact that neither of them were here to greet her. She'd at least expected them to be anxious for her to be home. Maybe they really were taking her request seriously. She sure felt like a bitch right now. She'd asked them to give her space, hell, she'd practically told them to leave her alone, and now she was acting like a spoiled brat because they were giving her exactly what she wanted. Even knowing how contrary her attitude was, she still felt disappointed.
God, how did the human psyche get so fucked up?
She wanted what she wanted until she got it and then she didn't want it anymore. Shit!
She placed the phone back on its cradle. Should she just wait for one of them to call her? Or would that make her look like she was pouting? They'd both asked her to call when she got home, so the least she could do was do as they asked.
She picked up the phone and dialed Gavin's cell phone before she could over think it and change her mind again.
"Hi, Trace," he said by way of greeting. "Welcome home."
"Thanks," she said a little nervously. Geez, why was she nervous?
This was her husband, the man she had married for better or worse, the man that she loved and wanted to grow old with.
"Everything okay, honey?" he asked, obviously sensing her distress.
"Ummm...yes," she said, unsure what to say. "I came home to an empty house, that's all."
"Where's Lee?"
"At work, just like you."
"Oh, honey, I'm sorry. If I'd known Lee wasn't going to be there, I would've made
