This is Blue’s best friend, and one of us will have to leave.

hot ex-military men and a girl caught in the middle
Excerpt
I expect West to laugh. They have a
competitive camaraderie that is fun to be around. Except he doesn’t
laugh. He doesn’t even crack a smile. Instead his gaze drops to
where Blue’s hand is on my ass. For the first time since he showed
up, lust flashes across his face.
Nervous, I glance at Blue. He’s
watching me, lids low, a dark expression on his face. He knows
exactly what he’s doing, and I think he likes it. It’s some kind
of tease, an extension of their friendly competitiveness, natural and
somehow intimate.
So intimate it makes me wonder if
they’ve ever done more than tease.
My eyes widen. “Have you and him
ever…?”
The corner of Blue’s mouth lifts.
“What’s that, beautiful?”
“You know,” I stammer. “Shared a
girl.”
The words come out in a rush, and I
know from the sultry, smug looks on their faces that I’m right.
“Not shared,” Blue says. “Not exactly. But I watched sometimes,
sure. We’d get a night off and head to the bar near base. There
are, what? Two men for every woman there. Maybe more.”
“Some girls like an audience,” West
says, the drawl in his voice more pronounced.
The room feels twenty degrees hotter as
testosterone and arousal swirl in the air. I had no idea that Blue
was kinky enough to watch a couple have sex—although he’s been
plenty kinky in other ways with just me and him. I imagine being some
girl in a bar, being picked up by two men as big and strong and sexy
as these two. It’s overwhelming…and I realize I may not have to
imagine it after all.
Blue watches me from slitted eyes.
My voice is shaking. “Did you want me
to—”
“You don’t have to do anything you
don’t want to, beautiful. We’re just getting to know each other,
after all.”
It makes me wonder if he thinks I’ll
do more once I know West better. It makes me wonder if I even want to
do more. Of course West is a handsome man, but being shared? “Umm.”
Blue shifts in his chair slightly, so
my leg is trapped around his, and I’m slightly more exposed—facing
West fully. “Maybe we could give him something to see,” he
murmurs. “A nice little memory to bring to bed with him. Would he
like that?”
West is completely still, lean body
full of tension. “Christ, yes.” He pushes back in his chair, his
expression more pain than pleasure. “Only if you’re okay, Hannah.
Only if…”
“I’m okay,” I say, stronger now.
God, if there’s one thing I know how to do, it’s to give a man a
show. “I want to.”
Just like Blue and West think all they
can do is fight, all I can do is dance. And this isn’t even dancing
for strangers. This is dancing for the man I love—and his best
friend.
Except dancing isn’t what Blue has in
mind.

Most men only see what they want to. The flirty stripper, the gloss and glitter and sex.
They don’t know I dance to the songs in my head–to the psalms I can’t forget.
I learned about power from within holy walls, always following the scriptures, always obedient until the day I escaped. No matter how much paint I wear, I can never cover up the girl they made. My conditioning runs too deep.
Ivan sees what I am.
That’s the thing about showing a mouse to a cat. He wants to play. And it’s terrifying, even for me. Because the only thing darker than my past is his.
