I was dizzy. Drunk. Off my axis. By the time Isaac let me go, I was lost.

“He’s at the door.” He pointed to the foyer.

“Right. Right.” I straightened my shirt. I had been so wrapped up in the kiss I hadn’t heard Dylan knock.

I pulled the lever and he strolled in. “Hey, darlin’.” He leaned to kiss me on the cheek.

I inhaled his cologne and sighed. My instincts were torn. My body was reacting to both of them. This was terrible and wonderful at the same time.

Isaac met him in the kitchen. “Good to see you, brother.”

“What are you doing over here?” Dylan prodded. I didn’t know what his tone meant.

“I wanted to see Vanessa.”

I hung back in the doorway. I was afraid to walk too far into the pit of their conversation. I could feel the testosterone dripping off them.

Dylan nodded. “I thought you said, you’d respect the code.”

“I am. Nothing’s official yet. I haven’t gotten a team alert on my phone. It hasn’t made the news. There’s no fake engagement. She’s free.”

Dylan crossed his arms as his stance widened. “You’re my best friend, you know that?”

“I know it.”

“And when you came back from wherever the hell you were in the Middle East, I was there for you, right? I had your back.”

Isaac closed his eyes. “I don’t want to talk about that.”

“You never want to talk about it. You never want to talk about anything that isn’t football.”

I crouched closer to the wall. They acted as if I weren’t here. I wasn’t going to interrupt them with a big announcement.

“What’s your point?” Isaac’s eyes flared.

“You’re not being honest with me about Vanessa.”

“I said I’d back off. And I will.” He moved to walk away from Dylan. “I’ll go. I wasn’t here, man. I won’t come back. I give you my word.”

Dylan’s hand clutched Isaac’s elbow. “Stop. Just say what the fuck you mean. Don’t go dark Seal on me. Say something, damn it.”

I held my breath. I remember reading about Isaac’s entry to the team after a military service career, but I didn’t know the details. I could list off his stats with no problem, but I knew nothing about his life before he became a Warrior.

“There’s nothing to say,” Isaac responded.

“That’s not true. I’ve been asking for two damn days. Just say it. Say what you mean.”

I was too afraid to move a muscle. I watched in awe.

“I fucking want her!” Isaac shouted.

I felt the tenseness grip me. He turned toward me. “I’m sorry. I know you’re here. I do. We shouldn’t be having this conversation.” He looked at Dylan. “We’re done with this. I’m gone. I wasn’t here.”

I finally pushed myself off the wall. I couldn’t be the wallflower any longer. I took one step and then another. They were slow deliberate steps. As if each one gave me days to think instead of seconds.

I reached Isaac first and entwined my fingers through his. He looked at me. His dark eyes filled with sadness and confusion. I brought his knuckles to my lips and kissed them.

I heard Dylan groan. “It’s him then?”

I reached for Dylan, tangling my hand in his, drawing him toward me. I looked in his eyes as I brought his thumb to my mouth and kissed the tip before sucking it between my lips.

“Fuck,” Isaac growled.

It wasn’t a solution. It wasn’t an answer. It was what I wanted. I didn’t know how else to say it. There wasn’t a way to put it in words. But they couldn’t fight over me. Not when I wanted them both equally. I couldn’t be the reason a friendship was destroyed. There was no way to push either one of them out, when I couldn’t separate them in my head.

Dylan’s thumb lingered as I sucked harder. “Shit, Vanessa.”

Isaac wrapped his hands around my waist from behind. He kissed my neck. I leaned into him, reveling in the solidness of his body.

I hadn’t had time to change clothes before my surprise guests arrive. I was still wearing a blouse and skirt from the office. I had managed to kick off my heels.

Dylan began to remove the buttons, pushing my blouse open. His eyes lit on my breasts. I could feel my nipples tingle. Everything was electric. Heightened beyond belief.

Isaac helped shove the shirt from my arms as he spun me toward his chest.

“This is what you want?” he asked.

I nodded. “Don’t make me choose. Please don’t. I can’t pick one of you over the other. I don’t want to.”

He looked over my shoulder at Dylan. “Man, we’ve never … I don’t know how you feel about this.”

I only wanted things to be better. I wanted to share and be shared. I wanted to belong to both of them. I hadn’t thought through what they would think of sharing me. I didn’t know how two men would handle this. Would this be worse than making a choice between them?

Dylan’s hands found the hem of my skirt. He pushed it up to my hips. “Share her?”

Isaac nodded. “If that’s what you’re saying, Vanessa?”

“It is. I can’t choose between you. I want you both.” My voice was raspy.

Dylan’s fingers dug into the sides of my thighs. “You think you can handle both of us?”

My knees trembled. My panties were already soaked. He was testing me. I didn’t know what I could handle. It sounded impossible and incredible at the same time.

I nodded eagerly. “I’ll do it, whatever will make this work. I don’t want you to leave.”

His fingers began to explore under my skirt, while my eyes remained locked on Isaac’s. I squirmed when Dylan pressed along my backside.

“You’re willing to give up this?” he asked.

Oh shit. I hadn’t thought about that. I’d never thought about three-way sex. I’d never pictured how it would be to let two men have me at once. Of course that meant double penetration. Of course it meant they would both want me at the same time. Was I the kind of woman who could do that?

“Which one of you?” I asked naively.

Isaac’s eyes closed. His chest filled with air. “Damn.” I could tell he wanted it.

“This is something we’ve never shared, Vanessa. We’ve never been with the same woman.”

I may have misread what I was capable of. What they were capable of.

“She’s yours, brother. You outbid me,” Isaac groaned. “I’m not in unless you are.”

I didn’t know if my opportunity was slipping away. I held my breath, trying to think how I could reel them in. How I could convince them there was enough of me to go around. That I could satisfy them both. I had to at least try.

Dylan nuzzled in the back of my neck. It was sweet and gentle. I relaxed into his chest. I felt his rigid erection press into the small of my back.

“Where’s your bedroom?” he asked.

“Why?”

“Because tonight you’re going to be fucked by the Warriors best wide receivers.”

The rush of heat spread through my legs as I realized what I had just gotten myself into.

“You’re sure?” Isaac asked.

Dylan nodded. “We’re both here because of Vanessa. And if this is what you want, darlin’, then this is what you’re going to get.”

I didn’t know fainting from happiness was possible, but it was exactly how I felt as soon as Dylan said the words. As if this wasn’t real. As if the wooziness in my head would never clear. As if I could never get my legs to work again.

I was getting ready to have my fantasy come true.
