Share Us
She moans, swaying, falling into me. I catch her and hold her against me as I steal kiss after kiss, lips merging, sharing breath. Her tongue brushes along the seam of my lips, begging for entrance, and I open, letting my tongue tease the tip of hers. We parry back and forth, and there’s a masculine groan that doesn’t belong to me.
I break the kiss, breathing deeply, and look over at Gabe. He’s got a hand at the back of his neck, rubbing up and down, his gaze laser-focused on us.
“That’s hot,” he says, no deeper explanation needed.
Katherine half turns and ascends another stair. Gabe follows, but I stay put.
“Katherine—” I say. “What do you want?”
Where does she expect this to go? I’ve thought about it nonstop since I found them together in the maze. Two sides of a coin. Fitting like two puzzle pieces, so exquisitely matched.
I won’t fight Gabe for her. I won’t. He’s my oldest friend, and he needs a woman who will discover him and unravel him and rebuild him. Katherine Montgomery might just be that woman.
But maybe I could share her.
Tonight? Tomorrow?
I don’t know.
More importantly, I don’t know what she wants.
She turns back to me, a finger brushing along the line of my jaw. “You.” She looks up at Gabe. “Both of you.”
“What about Kingston?” Gabe asks.
She’s still for a long moment and then shakes her head. “I don’t know. I wish I did. But I can’t be with someone who only wants me because someone else has me.”
The sadness in her voice is a spear to my heart, but even as it bleeds for her, it pounds with pleasure.
Someone else has me.
Such a similar phrase and feeling to when she told that dick Tyler ‘not yet.’
Beside me, there’s an odd rumble from Gabe. “Inside. Now.”
He takes Katherine’s hand and leads her up the stairs, but she pulls him to a stop and turns back to me, hand outstretched. The gesture hits so much harder than her words. I grab hold, letting her reel me in, and she squeezes my fingers. I want to beg her to never let go.
But she does. Has to.
The instant the door is locked behind us, Gabe has Katherine pinned against the wall, arms bracketed around her, leaning in to nuzzle her throat. “Say that again,” he demands.
Her hands grip his waist, and she stares straight at me. I feel the connection all the way to my soul.
Dammit.
But even as my heart wars with my brain, I can’t look away. Can’t crack down on the feelings building inside me.
“Say what?” The two words are so breathless.
“Someone else has you. Say it.”
“Someone else has me.”
Another low growl. “Who?”
She tips her head back just a fraction, resting against the wall, but her gaze doesn’t waver. We’re locked together and somehow. I don’t feel on the outside at all, the opposite really. Her attention binds us.
“You do.”
