My eyes actually watered at their thoughtfulness - and his. Dermott continued washing me until I was clean, his hands gentle and caressing, even if he didn't spend too much time on my breasts or pussy. Although his erection kept nudging my hip, he was obviously holding back. Once I was clean, he stepped away from me, picked up a bar of woodsy-scented soap and swiftly washed himself. Heavens, he was beautiful. My eyes followed every movement of his hands as they skimmed over his toned physique. Finally, he rinsed and shut off the spray. Waiting right outside was a towel warmer, with enormous fluffy bath sheets. He wrapped one around each of us before picking up a smaller towel and fluffed the dampness out of my hair."There's a fresh toothbrush, makeup remover and your brand of face cream in that drawer." He pointed. "Your suitcase should be in the bedroom by now. Do you want something to sleep in?""No." It's a little at odds with my uptight persona, but I rarely slept in a nightgown

"Sailing?" After swallowing and taking a sip of juice, I was able to speak. "In what?" I'd sailed across the Atlantic on a clipper ship, but that had been nearly two hundred years ago. Any other experience I had with boats involved private yachts, with big, powerful engines and uniformed stewards."It's a little two-man catamaran. If we tip over, the worst that will happen is we get wet, and the water's warm." He took the stool on the other side of me from Christos and accepted the huge stack of waffles Elek handed him."So you're triplets." I tried to remember what I knew about lion shifters - the name Leonides was kind of a giveaway. Multiple births were pretty common, I thought. "Who's the oldest?""Me."Somehow I wasn't surprised that it was Theron, the businesslike, responsible one."I'm the baby." Christos elbowed me playfully. "By a whole half-hour over Elek. I was born at twelve fifteen a.m., so it was enough to give me my own birthday while those two have to share.""Our

We lazed there for I don't know how long while the brothers swam and goofed around and body surfed. Dermott's chest began to vibrate, and the sound rose until I realized he was humming an old Irish love song - or lullaby - I wasn't sure which. The tune was familiar, but I couldn't recall the words. Again, when had I last stopped to listen to music? I'd gone to concerts as a fundraiser and attended with potential donors, I had music playing as a soothing background in my office, but how long since I'd actually done nothing but listen? It was a sobering thought.On the other hand, the longer I lay there in his arms, the more I stopped thinking about anything but Dermott. I could hear his heart beating, smell the rich, hot blood pumping beneath his skin. I wasn't hungry, except for another taste of him. While his arm around my waist still supported me in the water, his other had crept upward to cup my breast, reminding me - as if I needed it - that we were swimming naked."Are you turne

Not to be left out, Elek knelt between my legs, spreading me wide open. For a while he just sat still, gazing hungrily at my drenched pussy while Dermott and Christos sucked my breasts, and Theron began to kiss my ears and the side of my throat. Elek lifted both my knees up over his elbows and leaned down, licking a slow line along my slit."God, you taste like honey," he purred, diving in for a deeper taste."Mmm-hmm," agreed Christos, without letting go of my nipple. He sucked it deep and used his raspy tongue to flatten it against the roof of his mouth. On the other side, Dermott had settled into a steady rhythm, alternating deep suction with flicks of his tongue across the very tip. Theron drew on the base of my neck in a way that would have left one hell of a hickey on a human.Altogether it was - astounding. I grabbed hold of Dermott's arm and, I think, one of Theron's thighs and threw my head back to open my throat to Theron. He lifted a wrist next to my chin."Bite me," he

After a luscious midnight lunch of gumbo and conch fritters and topped by homemade Key lime pie, I leaned back in my chair on the patio and gazed up at the stars. Once again the Leonides brothers had vanished after cleaning up the dishes, leaving Dermott and me to our own devices."I can't keep eating like this," I said with a laugh. "I won't be able to fit into any of my clothes when I get home.""I think we can make sure you get enough exercise to counteract the calories." Dermott stood and held out his hand to help me to my feet. "Any thoughts on what else you'd like to do tonight? Another swim? Sailing around the island? A movie perhaps?"How long had it been since I'd taken time to watch a movie? Maybe six months ago with Dani and Ari, back when they'd both been single? Yes. And it had been Ari's turn to pick, so it had been some sort of gushy romance. "What kind of movies do you have?""Full-scale screening room with satellite. We can order up any movie currently available. W
