Tyler, Lynn - Be With Us (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) by Lynn Tyler Page A

Liam’s neck told him that he was probably close.
    When Liam whined low in his throat, Nick wrapped his arm around his waist, ready to take Liam’s weight. Liam leaned back just a little into Nick, affording Nick a wonderful view of the deep purple head that appeared and disappeared by turns into Liam’s fist. Another finger in Liam’s hole to increase the stretch and another series of rapid taps against the sensitive gland and Liam’s orgasm started, his breath exploding out in a shout and his penis throbbing fiercely as it pumped its load over Liam’s fist and onto his thighs.
    Liam promptly collapsed against Nick, clearly trusting Nick to keep him from hitting floor. Grunting at the sudden weight, Nick half carried Liam to the bed and dumped him in the middle so that Liam landed on his back.
    Nick stumbled into the bathroom where he cleaned himself up and ran warm water on a towel. He sauntered back into the bedroom, amused to see Liam already fast asleep. There were circles under Liam’s eyes that Nick hadn’t noticed before, giving Liam’s claim of a relatively easy night a false ring. Nick shook his head and gently cleaned him off before climbing into bed with him. He would let Liam sleep as long as he wanted and then would make them a big brunch. Or order it in, anyway.
    Nick pulled Liam close, resting his head on Liam’s shoulder and listening to the deep rhythm of his breathing. He drifted in and out of sleep, eventually shifting Liam onto his side so that he spooned his partner’s back. Liam liked to sleep on his back so this was a rare treat. Liam hardly ever topped, really getting off when Nick took control of their lovemaking. But once the sex was done, Liam preferred to hold instead of being held. It was only when they had these occasional days off together, when they had time to love each other properly, that Liam let Nick hold him, usually because he was too exhausted to even realize he wasn’t doing the holding. He loved this time with Liam, when they both had nowhere to go and nothing to do and they could laze in bed.
    The only thing that would make these days better would be a certain brunette librarian sandwiched between them. It would certainly satisfy both men’s need to hold onto someone. He could see it now. Liam would be sprawled on his back, holding Lindsay close to his side while Nick would plaster himself to her from behind. It would be heaven.
    Nick wasn’t really sure why the two of them felt such a strong need for a third permanent partner. Maybe it had something to do with their work schedules and the fact that they were together so infrequently. Having a third person in their relationship would act as an anchor of sorts. Well, whatever the case, Lindsay would fit nicely in with them.
    He kissed the back of Liam’s shoulder and pulled him closer. He knew Liam had been smitten with Lindsay from the beginning, and he had confessed to Nick that he was already head over heels in love with her.
    Sometime between that brownie sundae and leaving her apartment Nick had tumbled into love with her, too. It didn’t scare him though. It had been the same way between him and Liam.
    Still, Nick couldn’t shake the feeling that Lindsay was holding back and that did scare him. Hopefully, between the two of them, they could figure out a way past Lindsay’s barriers and convince her that she belonged with them.

Chapter 7

    Lindsay suffered through a day with Horrible Heather, biting her tongue every time the woman opened her mouth to avoid saying something she regretted. Heather had been full of biting insults and damaging gossip about another coworker. Lindsay hoped that none of their supervisors overheard the vile garbage that was spilling out of Heather’s mouth. It could really harm the other woman’s career. Regardless, Lindsay couldn’t wait for her shift to be over.
    “You really shouldn’t wear black, Lindsay,” Heather droned on. “It washes you out terribly. Unless you’re
