Stripped - Complete Series Read Free Page A

either brother seemed to be undressing her with smoky grey eyes…could anyone blame her for getting some sexually insurgent urges?
    “I feel like I don’t want tonight to end,” Alec said warmly, as the waiter went off with the paid bill. His words made Rebecca shiver with pleasure as she artlessly replied, “I was just thinking the same thing!” Then she blushed, wishing the floor could open and swallow her. Could she sound any more needy and school-girly? They must think her such a dork.
    “It’s great that you’ve had as much fun so far as we undoubtedly have,” Tristan added, his tone just as warm and sending pinwheel tingles up her arm when he rested his hand on hers. “Alec and I don’t always get the chance to unwind. And it’s rare to find a woman who appeals to us on so many levels. We’re glad you agreed to make it here tonight. ”
    “So am I,” Rebecca breathed, incapable of remaining immune to the spark of heat from his touch, or from Alec’s gaze as he turned to her.
    “I can only agree with Tristan; it’s not so easy getting to meet a woman whose personality we find equally fascinating – and you’re fucking hot as well so it’s win-win for us.” Alec’s sexy grin could strip a girl’s panties off like paint – in a trice. She almost couldn’t think when he smiled like that.
    Like he knew her every hidden, decadent desire and could spend all night fulfilling each one.
    “Stop saying that,” she heard herself whisper, averting her gaze as her cheeks flushed deeper. “I’m not hot.” Hell ! Rebecca couldn’t help swearing internally at herself. Anyone would think a couple of good-looking men had never paid her a compliment before. And why did her nipples feel so achy beneath the layers of lace and silk?
    She saw Tristan and Alec share a smile that curled her toes with excitement at the sensual promise hinted there. Then Tristan said, “You don’t have to take our word for it. You only need to look around the room and see how many of the guys can’t seem to peel their eyes off you. You don’t know what it is about you, do you?”
    She stared at Tristan, shaking her head mutely. The brush of his thumb over her knuckles had her breath hitching at the exquisite intimacy of his touch.
    “Then I’ll tell you,” Tristan said softly, leaning just that bit closer till their eyes were level. “It’s the way your whole demeanor screams ‘untouched’ in just the way that makes a man want to peel back all those protective layers. And then ravish your sweet innocence till you beg to be claimed completely.”
    Rebecca’s soft gasp escaped from her parted lips at the smoky husk of Tristan’s voice, and her eyes darted round to note that indeed, more than a few male eyes were looking her way with frank admiration and interest. She’d been so sure it was the brothers getting all the attention. The new revelation made her stomach twist in pleasurable knots.
    “I don’t know what to say. Nothing like this has ever happened to me,” she said, biting down on her bottom lip. She faced them both again and wondered if they understood what was happening to her; how they both individually set her pulse racing, making her core tighten and surge with a wanton need. She looked from one to the other and suddenly, she realized they had to know exactly the effect they had on their senses. They’d be no strangers to having a woman panting for them within hours of having met them. Even within the first minute she’d set eyes on them, Rebecca had known she wanted them. Without even knowing then if she had a right to.
    “The more reason why you should welcome the experience,” Alec said, and he placed a hand underneath her chin to tip her face up to meet his gaze. “You said earlier that you were ready to open up to new things. Tonight, for a start, we want you to forget about comfort zones and boundaries. Just act, don’t think. Can you do that for us, Rebecca?”
    God, that voice…when he
