don’t know what you mean.”
“You’re hung like an ox,” Alex said. He was quite proud of his own manly parts, but he couldn’t help but admire this man’s.
Tessa watched as well, apprehension clear on her face. “Angel.”
“I shall be gentle,” Angel said.
Alex scoffed. Of course he would. He bit back his comment as Angel settled between Tessa’s milky thighs. The broad cockhead nudged her pussy, easing in by increments.
“Oh…” She sighed, the sound a combination of surprise and anticipation.
Alex fisted his hands to keep from grabbing her. He’d promised Angel he could fuck her tonight. He hadn’t anticipated the man’s cock being so bloody big, however.
He watched as Tessa responded, and knew the precise moment when she flooded with juices to ease the way. She closed her eyes and gave that delicate little shiver that signaled her readiness. Angel grunted as he braced himself above her, moving with shallow thrusts as he began to fill her.
“I can’t get inside,” he bit out. “Not—not all the way.”
Alex bit his tongue once more. Little wonder, that. “Allow me to be of assistance,” he said. He lifted Tessa and slid a pillow beneath her ass. Her eyes widened as Angel deepened his thrusts. He was at last in balls deep.
“Ah, Christ!” Angel cried.
“Still making sermons,” Alex quipped.
Angel barked out a strangled laugh as he pounded into Tessa. She moaned as her pleasure built, her body no doubt overwhelmed by the man’s equipment. Alex watched, captivated by the sight of Angel’s huge cock moving in and out of her swollen pussy. Her legs were bent, her neck tense, as she took him all the way in.
When she came, arching wildly on the bed, Alex nearly felt it himself. He stroked his cock and came into the linens beside her, each pulse of his shaft in perfect time with her undulations.
Angel soon shouted his release, panting as he poured into her. He dipped his head and kissed her, grinning like an idiot, and Alex restrained himself from punching him in his perfect face.
“Now it is as if we are truly married,” the man declared, finally withdrawing from her body.
Tessa nodded and Alex felt his throat tighten. I have made a colossal mistake. He moved to climb off of the bed when Tessa’s hand grabbed his. Her touch was soft yet insistent. Stilling, he faced her.
She smiled up at him, tenderness in her gaze. “Alex.”
“Yes?”
“Will you sleep beside me?” she asked. “As always?”
God, yes! “As you wish,” he answered, keeping his voice even.
He rose, extinguished all but one of the candles, and got back into bed. The three of them settled beneath the counterpane, Tessa cuddled against his side, as was their custom. He caught Angel’s eye and gave a nod. He’d like nothing more than to send the man from their bed, but he’d agreed.
Angel rolled onto his back, pillowing his head with his hands as he appeared to study the ceiling. For his part, Alex held on to Tessa and welcomed her sweet breath against his neck as she slipped into slumber. He would sleep well tonight with his lady in his arms. Yes, Angel had taken her in their bed. He’d fucked her so hard Alex had nearly felt it, for God’s sake. But tomorrow? Alex grinned into the dark.
Tomorrow he would have her.
Chapter 4
“Good morning, Miss.”
Tessa smiled at the housekeeper. “Good morning, Mrs. Iverson.”
“I’ve set out a spread on the sideboard,” the woman said. “What with your guest, I was thinking it was best.”
Tessa glanced at the sideboard, which was laden with meats and eggs and bread. With two gentlemen in the house at present, no doubt more food would be needed than when it had been just Alex and herself. It was far from the meager portions her family had to subsist upon when she still lived at home.
“Capital idea, Mrs. Iverson. Thank you.”
“How long do you think the gentleman will be staying, Miss?”
Tessa had no notion. She opened her mouth to speak
