Three times.Maybe… three times, I kept thinking.If I counted what was starting to happen right now…
“Ever been in a relationship with two men at once?” he asked me, his thumb continuing its lazy rhythm, back and forth… dipping a little lower each time, drifting nearer my pussy… which tingled at his near-touch.
“No,” I said.
“Ever thought about it?”
I considered that. I’d really never had a guy ask me that before.
“No. I mean, I’ve had kinky fantasies about being drilled by more than one guy at once… but doesn’t every girl have those fantasies?”
He laughed. “Uh… no. I don’t think so.”
“Really?”
“I don’t know. I guess we’d have to take a poll.”
He drifted his hand up my body to my neck, where his thumb smoothed over my jaw. “I like you,” he murmured.
“Good,” I murmured back. “I think I like you more.”
His lips curved in a smile. “Is it a competition?”
“Yes,” I said, “and I win.”
He chuckled again.
“Hey, Ashley? I have questions.”
“Ask away,” he said.
“Have you ever been in a relationship with just one woman?”
“Yes.”
“Have you ever fantasized about spending the rest of your life with one woman?”
“Yes.”
“What’s the longest relationship you’ve ever had with a woman?”
“Two years.”
I considered that. It was a little longer than I’d ever been in a serious relationship.
A dark and comfortable silence enveloped us. And I wondered who he’d spent those two years with. Summer? Someone else? But now didn’t seem like the right time to summon the names of past lovers.
This conversation wasn’t about them.
It was about us.
I closed my eyes. I was drifting, my brain lured by the thought of sleep, even if my body wasn’t.
Ashley pressed himself tighter against me and kissed my neck. “Hey, Danica.”
“Hmm?”
“Go to sleep, okay? I don’t really wanna get on your aunt Madeleine’s bad side. Get the feeling she could kick my ass.”
