Excerpt


Ezio crawled between his legs and adjusted his shorts, innocently brushing against his inner thighs. Mike’s breath caught and his dick lengthened, thickening at having the man of his dreams between his legs. He moaned quietly, his libido awakening. Ezio’s breath rushed out when Mike hooked his hand around his nape and drew the man to him. He crashed his lips to Ezio’s, kissing him with all the longing and desperation inside him. He pulled Ezio close, letting his man feel just how much he needed him. Pressed against him, Ezio rocked his hips slowly, sending delicious sparks of energy down Mike’s spine straight to his balls. Their tongues tangled, and Ezio ran his hands down Mike’s sides, his touch tender. He hooked his hands under Mike’s legs, manoeuvring him where he wanted.

“I need you,” Mike gasped, arching into Ezio’s touch. But Ezio stilled and pulled back. The couch dipped next to him. Robyn. “Kiss each other. Let me see.”

Ezio moaned, and Robyn shivered. Each with a hand on him, they reached for one another too, joining them together. Ezio ran the backs of his fingers over Robyn’s cheek. Mike bit his lip. He knew how soft her skin was, the shape of her jaw and the taste of her lips. Robyn slid her hand against Ezio’s hip, her thumb reaching under his white polo. They gazed at each other, a million emotions crossing their faces.

Surprise. Desire. Love. They were falling for each other too.

Ezio dipped his head and gently tugged Robyn closer. His fingers brushed Mike’s as they curled into her hair, and he pressed his lips to hers. One, then two brushes of their lips before they opened, and their tongues touched. Mike sucked in a breath at the beauty of what he saw between them. The need. The restrained urgency. He shifted his hand, letting it trail down Robyn’s side until he reached her hip. He nudged her, and she shifted instantly, moving off the couch until she was on her knees before Ezio. The other man eased back and turned to Mike, his gaze searching.

Mike bit down on his lip, closed his fist around his cock, and barely muffled his moan. He stroked, his rough hand giving him some much-needed friction on his aching dick. Using his pre-cum to slick his hand, he ran it down his length. His eyes closed, and his head fell back as sensation shot down to his balls. “Show me how much you want each other,” he gasped, his mind’s eye replaying his dreams of the three of them together.

“Show us too,” Robyn ordered, her voice husky. “Get undressed.”

Mike stood, his head spinning with the thrill of it. Lightheaded, he reached out, and two hands landed on his arse, steadying him. His boxers were lowered before Mike’s vision cleared, and his cock slapped against his belly. Simultaneous moans had his gaze snapping back into focus, and Mike watched as Ezio pulled Robyn closer to him, one hand reaching around her back, curling over the swell of her arse and slipping underneath the short hem of her summer dress to palm her. Mike wanted to reach for her breast. Slip his hand under the thin material and brush his thumb over her nipple. He wanted to watch Ezio do it. He moved to sit again, but the two hands on his arse tightened, keeping him exactly where he was. Too unsteady on his feet to reach anywhere else, he kept his hands threaded in their hair and watched as Robyn arched into Ezio’s touch.

Their gazes never broke, the silent conversation passing between them just as hot as being naked in front of them and watching their hands wander.

Mike closed his fist around his cock and stroked slowly as Robyn reached for Ezio’s shirt. She nodded, and Ezio took his hand off Mike’s arse to tug it off and toss it aside. She ran her fingertips down the swell of his belly to his linen shorts and yanked them open, before Ezio took her cue and pushed them over his hips. The two of them were naked, and Robyn had far too many clothes on. Desire raced up his spine as Ezio shimmied Robyn’s dress up her curvaceous body, exposing centimetre after centimetre of tanned skin. Mike gripped one side of it and helped slip it over her shoulders, leaving her in only a black satiny-looking G-string. Ezio stared, shamelessly gazing at her from head to toe. Her nipples hardened, and she shivered under their attention.

“Jesus Christ, you’re beautiful,” Ezio murmured. “Flawless.”

Robyn blushed, a shy smile tilting her lips up before she reached for him again. Running her hands over his body, Robyn bit down on her lip and moaned softly. “I…” she shook her head and didn’t bother finishing what she’d started, kissing his cheek, then his throat. She pressed herself against him and sucked a mark into his collarbone while she gripped his shaft and worked him slowly. Mike could only see the movement of her arm, not her hand wrapped around Ezio’s thick cock. The man’s girth was his best asset, and Robyn was hopefully going to enjoy it as much as Mike did.

About the Author

By day Ann Grech lives in the corporate world and can be found sitting behind a desk typing away at reports and papers or lecturing to a room full of students. She graduated with a PhD in 2016 and is now an over-qualified nerd. Glasses, briefcase, high heels and a pencil skirt, she’s got the librarian look nailed too. If only they knew! She swears like a sailor, so that’s got to be a hint. The other one was “the look” from her tattoo artist when she told him that she wanted her kids initials “B” and “J” tattooed on her foot. It took a second to register that it might be a bad idea.

She’s never entirely fit in and loves escaping into a book—whether it’s reading or writing one. But she’s found her tribe now and loves her MM book world family. She dislikes cooking, but loves eating, can’t figure out technology, but is addicted to it, and her guilty pleasure is Byron Bay Cookies. Oh and shoes. And lingerie. And maybe handbags too. Well, if we’re being honest, we’d probably have to add her library too given the state of her credit card every month (what can she say, she’s a bookworm at heart)!

She also publishes her raunchier short stories under her pen name, Olive Hiscock.
