Burnin' Love [Men for Hire: Firemen 1] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) by Jane Jamison Page B

stomach, she didn’t let on. Instead, she moved closer, making it known that she knew what the hardness was.
    Troy groaned, but he didn’t dare break the kiss. He knew what his brother was going through, but he couldn’t help but feel smug that he’d taken the first move. The first move of many, he hoped.
    She was so perfect, her body molding to his as though they were two parts of a whole that had been broken apart and now finally glued back together. He never wanted them to be apart again. It had been true from the first day he’d seen her in high school and it was still true today.
    The heat from her melted into him. She was starving for the right kind of affection and he intended to feed that need for as long as she’d allow.
    Her lips were softer than he had imagined. And insistent. The longer they kissed, the harder she pressed her mouth to his. They shared tastes, flicking each other’s tongue back and forth. It was a sex game, but so much more than that, too.
    She was the one to stop the kiss. Yet instead of leaning away from him, she burrowed her face against his neck. The gesture made him feel more like a man than anything ever had.
    “Damn, what took you so long?”
    He risked sounding mushy. “When an angel falls into your arms, it takes a while to believe you’ve been blessed.”
    She glanced up at him, her dark eyes alight with joy. “Wow. That was freakin’ beautiful.”
    On any other woman, it would’ve sounded crass. But on Daisy? It was like hearing songbirds sing.
    He chuckled, then glanced at his brother. Troy’s expression was one of abject yearning. But he’d have to wait. Wade wanted her for himself for a few moments longer.
    “I’ve wanted you since I was a kid.”
    “If I’d had any sense back then, I would’ve come to you. To both of you.”
    He glanced at Paul. Although he might’ve thought the fact that she’d left him out would’ve hurt him, Paul showed no reaction. He was as steely-eyed as ever as he leaned against the wall, almost in the shadows of the room. It was as though he was trying to stay out of the way, even out of sight.
    Or out of harm’s way.
    But that wasn’t his problem. Not when he had her next to him.
    “I’m not the girl I was back then.”
    “And we’re not those nerds. But you’re still you and what we know about you is enough.”
    “What do you know?”
    Troy answered first. “We know you love mint chocolate ice cream. And that you have a soft spot for kittens and puppies.”
    “That could be true for a lot of women.”
    Wade had no doubt his brother wouldn’t give up convincing her that they still knew a lot about her.
    “We know that you hate perfume, and that you can’t stand politicians who lie. Which, of course, includes every politician I’ve ever heard of.”
    Wade enjoyed the way she tightened her hold around his neck. Her giggle was light and airy. “True enough.”
    “We know that you’ve got a kind heart and are willing to help someone in need.”
    “The same could be said for you guys, you know.”
    Wade skimmed his hand along her spine and felt her tremble. When he put his palm over her butt cheek, she didn’t protest. If he had to guess, he’d have sworn she wanted his hands all over her.
    “Daisy, we know who you were and people don’t change that much. You were a special person then and you’re even more special now.”
    Wade couldn’t stand it any longer. He hooked his finger under her chin then pressed his lips to hers. She was as soft as before, but her eagerness had grown even more insistent. He pulled her closer, wanting her closer than was humanly possible, but he had to try. Her breasts pushed against his chest, daring him to play with them.
    He needed her more than he could’ve put into words, but he wanted to make sure that he kept control. Pleasing her was the most important thing and he’d do that at whatever cost to himself. He’d come to protect her and he’d protect her however he could. After a
