Moonshine For Three Read Free Page A

when the man's got a gun in his hand, Alice eases herself onto my lap. She moves in close, too, pressing against me so there's no keeping myself from reacting to her. My heart's going fast, because if Robert sees the effect his wife has on me…
    "You like women, Paul Hanson?" She wiggles a little, because she knows damn well I do, and runs a fingertip along my jaw. "Or you just have eyes for big, strapping men like Robert?"
    "Alice," he growls.
    I clench my teeth, trying to keep them from chattering. I don't know what to say. Haven't got the foggiest idea what'll rein her back without setting him off.
    She grins. "You as good a kisser as Robbie says you are?"
    " Alice. " Robert's getting dangerous. "Stop this now."
    She turns her head at him. "Come on, Robbie." She grins again, but her voice ain't all fun and jokes this time. "Everything you've told me about him, I want to see if it's true."
    He sets his jaw and looks away. "It's all true. Of course it is."
    "Is it?" She looks at me again, and the tip of her tongue runs along her lower lip. Then she wriggles in my lap, grinding her rear end against me. Her grin gets even bigger. "Well, I can tell at least one thing is true."
    "Alice, for God's sake…"
    She kisses me. Not just a little peck or nothing like that. She kisses me like her husband ain't standing right there, or she ain't even married at all. I tell my lips not to move, but there's no just sitting there and taking a kiss like that, just like there's no stopping my cock from pressing against her rear. Much more of this, there won't be any stopping—
    "Alice." Robert's voice sends a chill through me. When she breaks the kiss and looks at him, he says, "Get. Up ."
    She glares back at him. "I don't know what you're so sore about," she says, and he has to notice how out of breath she is. "You kissed him. Why can't I?"
    "Just get up." He ain't snarling now. Still dangerous, still volatile, but there's something else in his voice.
    "Oh, Robbie ." Alice huffs, then finally stands. "I don't get what the problem is."
    He puts a protective hand on her waist and glares past her at me. I think he's glaring.
    Maybe?
    No, I know that look.
    He's angry, but that's not all.
    Robert pulls Alice closer to him and leans down like he's going to kiss her neck, but he pauses. Closes his eyes. Takes in a long breath of her, and I squirm in my chair because I know what she smells like now.
    "Damn you, Robbie." Alice wrenches away. "You always said I'd have liked him. I was just seeing if you were right."
    "I know." There's nothing in his tone to tell me one way or another what he's thinking. He reaches for her again, and quietly says, "That's… that's an expensive dress." His hand moves to her back. "Sitting on him like that, you're… you're going to wrinkle it."
    Alice's lips part. My spine straightens.
    Robert doesn't look at either of us. He just watches his hand drift downward, and as it does, her dress loosens. First over her shoulders, then around her middle.
    He tugs it gently and lets it slip off, and my heart's going mad as the red dress lands around her feet.
    I hold my breath. Robbie will probably shoot me, but I give myself a look anyway. Slender, white legs under black stockings that stop partway up her thighs. An auburn triangle of thin hair between her legs. A smoothly curving waist sculpted just right for a man to grab on and hold on. Beautiful breasts barely restrained by a black brassiere.
    And Robbie's fingers drifting from between her breasts to her stomach, sending a shiver right through me because it's been too long since he's touched me that way.
    She slides a gloved hand over his and draws it up to her mouth. Eyes locked right on me, right on mine, she sucks one finger into her mouth. Then two. Her rouged cheeks hollow, and Robert pulls in a breath through his teeth.
    "Alice…" He's not stopping her this time. Not telling her to quit, or reminding her I'm here. It's like he's just saying her name because he
