  "All the time, Mitch." She dug her fingers into his chest as Justin fit the head of his cock against her anus.

  "Hang on, babe. Relax and breathe through this. If it hurts, tell me and I'll stop."

  Mitch halted his movements and Justin took it slow, penetrating her with just the head of his cock. It burned, but she'd expected it. She wasn't lying when she said she'd fucked herself in the ass before. She'd double penetrated herself with her toys, always imagining what it would be like to be fucked by two men simultaneously.

  Now it was really happening. She wasn't going to stop. Instead, she relaxed her muscles and breathed deeply, leaning forward against Mitch's chest, lifting her ass in the air. And then Justin pushed in deeper, sliding more of his cock past her tight muscles. She www.samhainpublishing.com 73

  blew in, out, feeling every inch of him penetrate her until he was fully sheathed in her ass.

  She stilled, her eyes closed as she captured the moment, adjusted, really felt them.

  Both of them were inside her, barely separated, no doubt able to feel each other. She'd never felt more filled, could hardly breathe through the sensations pummeling her from both sides. Her clit was nestled against Mitch's pelvis, and the slightest movement set off a storm of vibration. Her pussy quivered, her anus tightened, and then Mitch and Justin began to move.

  Like a piston, Mitch drove up while Justin pulled back, then vice versa, and the feeling was incredible, like a slow, drugging assault, ripping her apart in slow motion.

  They didn't hurry, didn't ravage her with hard strokes. Instead, they took their time and treated her with gentle care.

  She had always thought this would be wild and crazy, that it would hurt, that she would be torn apart by insane, crazy sex. Instead, it was terribly emotional, and she was coming undone because of it. Justin spread his body over her back, kissing her neck, whispering to her as he speared her with his cock, and Mitch held onto her hands, encouraging her to let go.

  How could she not with these two at the helm? She gave herself up to the sensations and moved with them, holding onto Mitch's hands, tossing her head back against Justin, and reveled in being sandwiched between them as they took her to the edge, then over.

  When she came, it was like being squeezed into the most exquisite death imaginable.

  Her pussy gripped Mitch's cock as she spiraled out of control, and the muscles of her anus gripped Justin's shaft. She felt the contractions everywhere and it intensified her orgasm tenfold. Fighting for air, she tilted her head back and could only let out a croaking sound and violently shudder while they both held onto her, rocketing into their own orgasms. This time they did pound into her, Mitch driving deep and Justin pumping hard into her ass.

  Spent, she fell forward, Justin wrapping his arm around her waist and holding tight to her, his heart pounding a fast rhythm against her back.

  It took her a long while to recover. By the time she could move, Justin had already withdrawn and left the room. Mitch leaned up, picking her up with him and carrying her to the bathroom.

  Justin already had the shower on and was waiting for them. Mitch handed her over with a soft kiss and a whispered 'thank you', and Justin pulled her into Mitch's oversized shower, letting the warm spray soothe her overused body.

  He kissed her, a gentle brush of his lips across hers, then he washed her all over before taking care of himself.

  "You okay?" he asked after he was rinsed.

  She nodded, because she was without words, could only smile and remember.

  It had been everything she could have ever wanted, and she couldn't think of two other men who could have made it better for her.

  Justin dried her off. Their clothes were lying in the dressing area outside the bathroom, and they got dressed. Mitch was already showered and waiting for them in the living room when they came out.

  Mitch pulled Amy into his arms and kissed her, a soft, lingering kiss that curled her toes. He dragged his thumb across her bottom lip and she shuddered.

  "No regrets?" he asked.

  She shook her head and gave Mitch a warm smile. "None at all."

  Mitch nodded. "I'm flying out first thing tomorrow. I have to be in Australia day after Christmas and the whole time zone change whacks me out, so this is goodbye for us until the next time I see you."

  Amy gripped Mitch's forearms. "I don't know what to say other than thank you for giving me such an incredible gift."

  Mitch grinned. "Believe me, sweetheart. It was my pleasure." He pulled her into his arms for a hug, then released her and bear hugged Justin.

  "Anytime you want to leave that stuffy firm, I've got a job for you," Mitch said.

  "I'll think about it," Justin said with a wink. "You take care of yourself, old man."

  Mitch snorted. "Merry Christmas, Amy."

  "Same to you, Mitch."

  She and Justin left, walking hand in hand back to their bungalows. But instead of seeing her to her room, Justin took her to his, pulling back the covers on his bed and unzipping her dress.

  "Tonight I want you to sleep with me," he said.

  Amy had no objection, just let her dress fall to the ground. She crawled into his bed and let him curl up behind her and pull her close.

  This was perfect. Almost too perfect. Because it wasn't real.

  It had all been one fantastic fantasy.

  And with tomorrow, came reality. She already knew the reality. Was intimately familiar with the way things really were, the way they were going to be after this idyllic few days in Hawaii.

  Nothing was going to change.

  But tonight, she was nestled in Justin's arms and had just experienced the fantasy of a lifetime.

  She'd worry about the reality later.

  "Do you want to talk about this?" Justin asked, his warm breath tickling the hair on the back of her neck.

  "No. I don't ever want to talk about it again." Though she'd relive it, over and over again. Not just the menage with Justin and Mitch, but every moment she'd spent with Justin.

  "Sure. Whatever you want."

  She waited, but in a few moments his breathing evened out and she was certain he'd fallen asleep.

  Amy exhaled, ran her fingers over Justin's hand. Touching him made her belly quiver.

  That was so not good. Being here with Justin in Hawaii, spending time with him, talking with him, made her realize the truth.

  She was in love with him.

  Even having sex with another man hadn't changed that. It had only reaffirmed her feelings for Justin.

  Mitch was hot. Sexy. Rich. Successful. Older than her, and a prime catch for someone in Amy's position.

  Fucking Mitch hadn't made a damn difference.

  She wanted Justin. And only him.

  And she wasn't going to have him. Their relationship was doomed from the start and she was putting a stop to it first thing tomorrow. Cutting it off now, before either of them started hurting more, would be for the best.

  She blinked back tears, hating that she'd allowed it to get this far.

  She already missed him. This was going to be so damn difficult, but they'd weather through it. She knew Justin would see the reason behind her decision. His career was as important as hers. He'd understand. This had been just a fling for both of them. Fun, but that's all it was and all it could ever be.

  People like them didn't fall in love, didn't have relationships.

  They had careers. And that's all they had.

  It was time to get back to her career. Fun time was over.

  Chapter Eight

  Justin had woke Christmas morning alone. He'd like to say he was shocked to find Amy gone, bu
t he wasn't.

  He'd expected it. He'd also expected to find that she'd checked out, taken an early morning flight back to Los Angeles, hadn't left a note.

  It had been one hell of a Christmas Day.

  Amy had run like hell after their night with Mitch. Just as he expected her to.

  Justin took it as a really good sign.

  He was really shocked when he got back to work the day after Christmas to find Amy had switched some cases they were working on together, assigning them to another attorney. His assistant said Amy claimed she was overloaded and just making some adjustments. When Justin went to confront Amy, her secretary said Amy had taken a few days off.

  Amy's assistant seemed as surprised as Justin, since Amy never took time off. Her secretary said she'd be out of the office and working at home until after the new year.

  Justin holed up in his office and pondered this new development.

  It was even better than he'd thought. She was cutting all ties with him, and it sure as hell wasn't because she hated him.

  Miss Amy Parker, Esquire, was in love with him, and this was her way of dealing with it.

  But now it was time for Justin to play his hand.

  He had some serious decisions to make. And a phone call.

  Then he had to go see Amy.

  Amy grabbed the steaming cup of tea and padded into her living room, sliding onto her sofa and glaring at the laptop screen.

  Adjusting her client files and trading off with one of the other attorneys meant getting up to speed on new cases. More work.

  And her powers of concentration were shot. She hadn't slept since she'd been back from Hawaii.

  She missed Justin. A stab of guilt pained her stomach, but she pushed it aside.

  He hadn't called her. Had she really expected him to since she left his bed in the early hours Christmas morning, left no note, and then obviously told him what she thought of him by cutting all professional ties? Not only wouldn't they be sleeping together anymore, they'd barely be working together.

  She really was an ice queen, wasn't she? She'd become quite adept at burying her emotions so the only thing anyone saw was a cool professional exterior. Icy.

  Unapproachable.

  Too bad it wasn't working on herself. She was miserable, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep and she goddamn hurt inside.

  This was for the best? For whose best? Hers? Justin's?

  It sucked.

  The doorbell rang. She sighed, setting the tea down and heading to the door. It was probably the messenger from work delivering the case files she'd asked for. She opened the door, shocked to find Justin standing there.

  "Justin."

  "Amy."

  Before she could utter a word, he'd brushed past her and entered her apartment.

  "Uh, come in why don't you?"

  He had a package in his hand. A Christmas present. A big box tied with an oversized red bow.

  "Thanks. I think I will." He turned to her, surveying her apartment. "What? No Christmas tree?"

  She rolled her eyes. "I'm never here. A tree seemed pointless."

  "How appropriately humbug of you. I'll just set this down here, then." He laid it on her coffee table.

  "Justin, really, you shouldn't have."

  "Yes, I know. You don't deserve it. I did it anyway."

  She crossed her arms, feeling profoundly uncomfortable. "Why are you here?"

  He took a seat on her sofa, grimacing at the laptop. "Obviously you're not at home because you're sick. Your cheeks are pink and you look fine to me. My guess is you're avoiding me."

  "I am not. I just needed to catch up on some work and wanted to do it uninterrupted."

  "Oh, yeah. Learning all those new cases because you swapped client files with Jamison."

  She sank onto the other end of the sofa, hating the confrontation that was coming, but knowing it was inevitable. "Justin. Let's be realistic."

  "Okay. Go ahead." He shrugged out of his jacket and slung it over the back of the sofa.

  Amy wanted to run her hands over his cashmere sweater. Or under his cashmere sweater to feel his smooth, heated skin and the play of muscles in his abdomen. Instead, she steeled herself, reminding herself why she'd done this in the first place.

  "We have no future together."

  "Really? Why?"

  "You're younger than me."

  "Do you really consider that a valid excuse?"

  No. "When I'm fifty you'd be--"

  "Forty-five. I can do math, Amy. I still don't get your point. I don't love you because of your age. And I think it's damn hot that you're older than me."

  Oh, shit. "You love me?"

  "You graduated summa cum laude from Stanford. If you can't figure out that I love you, then I'm really disappointed in your perceptive powers. Of course I love you. Would I put up with your bullshit if I didn't?"

  Her throat constricted and she fought back tears. "Love doesn't last."

  "And you base this on?"

  "May/December romances never do. I'll get wrinkly. I'll get jowls."

  His lips lifted. "I'll put a bag over your head when I fuck you."

  She couldn't help it. She snorted. "That wasn't funny."

  "And I don't love you because of how you look. I love you because of who you are.

  You're brilliant. You can be funny. You love adventure and you have no fear. We have the same backgrounds. We're both driven and competitive and I like being with you. I like making love to you, like having you sleeping next to me at night. Do you think five years make any difference to me?"

  No, she didn't. Dammit, she didn't. Her mind whirled trying to come up with something else.

  "We're constantly competing with each other in the firm. It would destroy us."

  He grabbed the box and placed it in her lap. "Open your Christmas present, Amy."

  "I--"

  "Just open the goddamn box."

  "Fine." Anything to get through this and get him out of her apartment before she fell apart. She pulled the bow on the giant box and lifted the lid, lifting out miles and miles of tissue paper. At the bottom of the box was an envelope. She pulled the envelope out and slanted a quizzical look at Justin.

  He nodded. "Open it."

  She sliced through the envelope and opened the single paper in there. Her blood went cold when she read the contents.

  "You didn't," she whispered, her gaze shooting to Justin.

  "I did. This afternoon."

  "Oh, Justin. Why?"

  "I turned in my resignation at McKenzie and Shoals for two reasons. First, because I love you and I don't want this whole thing about us being competitive and you thinking I www.samhainpublishing.com 81

  wanted to fuck my way to the top--or using you and our relationship--coming between us. Now it's not between us anymore."

  She couldn't believe he'd resigned. He'd been working his way through that firm for years. He was poised on the brink of partnership. "Are you insane?"

  He moved closer to her, tossed the box and all the paper on the floor and took Amy's hand in his. "No, Amy. I'm in love."

  Shock froze her in place, her mind refusing to register what he'd done on her behalf.

  Because he loved her? "You've ruined your career."

  "No. I've just started it."

  "What do you mean?"

  "What do you think of Garrett and Parker?"

  Her pulse raced. "Garrett and Parker?"

  He smiled. "Yeah. You, me, our own law firm?"

  "You've lost your mind." Excitement warred with trepidation. "We don't have the capital for that kind of venture. Or the clients."

  Justin arched a brow. "No, that's true. We don't have the capital to start our own firm."

/>   It hit her instantly. "Mitch."

  "Yes."

  "Oh my God. Mitch would do that?"

  "Of course he would. And he'll move all his business to us, too."

  Amy couldn't breathe. "Why, Justin?"

  "Because I love you, and because neither one of us is making partner fast enough at McKenzie and Shoals. You know it and I know it. They're a great firm, but they're slow to promote. And you and I are ambitious go getters who want to push the envelope.

  They're not right for us, Amy. We need our own gig."

  He was right. Dear God, he was right. He'd seen it where she hadn't. All this time, she'd been playing it safe, toeing the line, doing everything right in the hopes to make it to the top. And trying to keep her peers from getting there before her--like Justin.

  Justin had taken the risk and was offering her the opportunity of a lifetime, and his love, too.

  "All you have to do is say yes, Amy."

  He'd done all this because he loved her. And she hadn't even told him--

  "I love you, Justin. Before we go any further, you need to know that."

  "I know you do."

  "You do?"

  He grinned. "When I woke up Christmas morning and you weren't in my bed or even in Hawaii anymore, I knew it."

  "How?"

  "You ran because you were scared of your feelings. If you didn't care, you'd have gotten on that plane back to L.A. with me and wouldn't have blinked."

  She tried to take it all in. "Sometimes you scare me because you know me so well."

  "That's why we'll make such good partners. Nobody understands me like you do.

  Nobody is less willing to put up with my bullshit as you are."

  She laughed. "We make quite a pair, don't we?"

  "There's something else."

  "Okay."

  "I read the email you sent to your friend Gloria. The one where you said you wanted a menage."

  Her eyes widened. "What? When?"

  "A week or so before we left for Hawaii. You'd tossed your laptop at me to pull a document off, and I couldn't find it so I thought it was in your email attachments. I found it there." He at least had the decency to look guilty.

  "That's how you knew about my fantasy."

  "Yeah."

  "I should be furious with you for invading my privacy."

  "Yes, you should."

  But she wasn't. He'd given her the greatest gift she could have ever asked for.
