A story about how
coming together can break us apart…
An old military
friend of Blue’s comes to stay with us, and suddenly I have two muscled men
surrounding me. Before I can take a breath, we’re diving into something dirty
together—something dangerous. Dangerous because three is a crowd.
This is Blue’s
best friend, and one of us will have to leave.

EVEN BETTER is a
sexy follow up novella best read after BETTER WHEN IT HURTS. Fair warning: Contains two hot ex-military
men and a girl caught in the middle.
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.
