I didn’t work here.” I laugh nostalgically. “I’m like a staple.”
“Interesting.”
“Not really,” I disagree, plainly. “Why are the two of you visiting Newhaven Beach? Business or pleasure?” My turn to pop off a question.
Shane and Chase share a communicative look. “Tonight?” Chase answers. “Pleasure.” He’s so close his breath tickles the back of my neck, causing goose bumps to erupt.
“Good to know.” I meet his searing brown gaze and fall blindly into an abyss of seduction.
I sip more of my drink to cool off and calm down. Jesus, these two men are intoxicating. “How was the food?” I attempt some small, safe conversation.
“Delicious. Everything in this establishment is surprisingly delicious.” Shane’s tone is deceptive. He isn’t referring to just the food.
“I don’t think you’ve sampled everything .”
Holy shit, did I just say that out loud? I’m completely playing into their little game, whatever that may be. But I can’t help it. I’m curious by nature, and these two are a whole new territory to explore.
“We’d be more than willing to sample whatever you put in front of us.” Shane’s gaze turns ensnaringly dark, inducing blood to rush to my head. Thank god, I’m sitting down because if I were standing up, I might just fall over.
Before I can sink deeper into their chasm of enticement, I hear Janine scream as the opening chords to Lady Antebellum’s Bartender plays through the speakers. I turn around to find her twirling in the middle of the room. It’s her absolute favorite song so, of course, I had to add it to the playlist. Like the beacon of light she is, she draws a crowd right to her, infecting the room the same way the music is infecting her. As soon as she zeros in on me, she curls her finger in a come hither way with a devilish look in her big blue eyes.
“No,” I mouth, shaking my head obstinately.
“Yes,” she mouths back sashaying right toward me.
“Janine!” I yell as she yanks me off the stool and spins me right into the dancing crowd. She’s on me in a nanosecond, rubbing up against my side as she belts out the lyrics at the top of her lungs. I have no choice but to give in. She’s way too much fun to deny. Together, we bellow, “ Heyyy bar-tender!” And then dance our asses off. It is a party, after all. I flick my eyes over to the two men I just abandoned to find them watching me intently. Their gazes trailing my every single gyrating move. The way they’re both looking at me makes me feel sexy as hell, which in turn makes me dance sexy as hell. Janine isn’t blind to what’s going on, and just to add fuel to the fire, she grabs Chase and Shane from the bar and hauls them onto the dance floor.
“No wallflowers at my party!” She bops around us before she gets scooped up by Jack. “See ya!” She waves as they get lost in the crowd, leaving me to fend for myself with my two new acquaintances. Fuck it. I’m feeling a buzz and looking to have some fun, so I throw caution to the wind and wedge myself between them. The two of them respond immediately, trapping me between their bodies while exploring mine with enthusiastic hands. The three of us quickly find a comfortable rhythm, and fuck me, can these two move their hips. It’s easy to get lost in the dim lights and possessive caresses and building attraction. I don’t entirely understand what’s happening here, but I don’t need to. I just go with it. I follow their lead. These two men, the likes of whom I’ve never met before—strong, assured, confident, enticing, and heady. I met them only a few hours ago, yet somehow, they make me feel things I’ve never felt in my life. Unequivocally desired.
Physically stimulated.
Compulsively wanton.
The night moves along, and with the passing time, the party and music and cravings collide.
“Have you ever been with two men before, Jenn?” Shane traps my hips and tickles the shell of my ear with his lips.
