Red Hot Party Page 5


  “You don’t need to talk much. I always thought Bruce and Shane were an item so clearly I’m behind on everything.” Cassie paused as the food arrived.

  They women ate in silence for a minute, and Lolly felt a little better.

  “You’re right about Bruce and Shane. They have something strong, and I think Ham got pulled in and now me. But I don’t want to leave people out, and I can’t tell my mother I’m dating three men.”

  “People sort of know you’re seeing Ham.”

  “They do?” Lolly swallowed hard.

  “Alex isn’t quiet when something annoys him. Plus Ham has been at your place more than the address where his mail arrives. We know that. Don’t get too wrapped up in the Lucky Springs chat. If it works out, talk to the guys. They’re not clueless. Okay, wait. They are men so maybe you need to tell them how it needs to look.”

  “What can I do?”

  “Well, as far as anyone knows I’m strictly with Dom and we’re engaged. Our neighbors don’t need to know I sleep with Alex and Monty, too. They think Monty and Alex are an item, and we all happen to share a big old house.” Cassie made it sound so easy.

  Lolly didn’t dwell on Cassie sleeping with her brother or that she’d slept with Ham. They were all adults, and Cassie seemed at ease. “It’s only been a few days. I’m not sure I can handle big decisions or telling people I’m dating Ham yet.”

  “You need to be sure first and talk it out. I know, the sex is so amazing you don’t talk a lot at first. It’s okay, enjoy. But when you’re ready, you need to pin the guys down and talk it out. Men sometimes think things just work out, and it might not bother Bruce and Shane to be the gay couple. It’s more socially acceptable than a four-way lifestyle. Once you tell them, they’ll get it.”

  “I’m moving too fast.” Lolly wanted it all settled or to run. She was on an edge that had her freaked out.

  “No. The more people, the more complicated and pressured it can feel. Juggling all of it is hard. Don’t take it all on yourself. Yes, you’ve known them for a long time so even if it’s only a few days of sex, those feelings are deep and real. Trust the feelings and go with them but don’t rush a decision.”

  “I feel like everyone knows.” Lolly looked around.

  Cassie smiled. “Some people know you know about the parties and are worried you’ll spill the truth of their sex lives. General gossip in Lucky Springs is you are Ham’s girl and, finally, he found the right one.”

  “There’s nothing I need to know about him, right?” Lolly had a woman here who’d seen Ham in sex parties. “No other girls or kinks?”

  “I hope he’s shared his need to paddle things.” Cassie finished off her eggs and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

  Lolly nodded. “Maybe that’s how he got with the guys. Shane likes it, too.”

  “Other than that, there’s nothing to tell. He’s made it clear to me he won’t be back to a party. There will be some sad women, but he’s yours now. The man isn’t quite as traditional as Dom or some of the others around here, but he’s a good guy. If Alex really didn’t trust Ham, he’d be raising real hell not just grumbling and posturing.”

  “You know them so well. Alex is my brother, and I had no clue he was into girls or anything.” Lolly wondered if she was just a bad judge.

  “It’s hard when you’re so close to people. I’ve known Alex and you since grade school, but we don’t have that family pressure. He wants you to see him a certain way, and he wants to view you in a way that works for him. I’m really glad I don’t have brothers. But if you get serious with Ham, I think Alex will come around. You’re the one who has to be sure it’s right. Then that confidence comes through and sends the message.”

  “Thanks, Cassie. I’m not sure how it’ll work out.” Lolly pushed a square of pancake around her plate.

  “I have full faith in Ham’s determination and feelings. In fact, I really need another bridesmaid. I know it sucks, and I wasn’t going to do a big wedding, but there are so many guys standing up on Dom’s side… I completely understand if you say no, but I promise the dresses aren’t pricey, and Jessica is keeping it low stress.” Cassie put some money on the table.

  Lolly was touched but if things with Ham went bad… “I don’t know.”

  “Don’t answer now. Take your time. The wedding is in December. I have a photo shoot to do so I’ve got to go. Call me if you need to talk again.”

  “Thanks.” Lolly felt better and deeper in the group thing than ever.

  * * * *

  The next day, Ham worked in the office on his least favorite part of the job…the paperwork. But it all couldn’t be group sex. Just as he sent off his reports and saved his files, there was a knock at the door.

  “Come in,” he answered.

  Lolly slid inside with a subtle smile on her face. “I was starting to worry about you all alone in here.”

  “Paper work never ends. Lonely?” Ham wanted her alone again but was willing to wait and make sure she loved the group thing.

  “I missed you. It is okay that I’m here?”

  “Always.” When she closed the door and locked it behind her, Ham felt his cock swell.

  “It’s hot in here.” She unbuttoned her shirt and slowly stripped off the rest of her clothes by the time she crossed the short distance to Ham’s desk.

  “I knew there was a seductress behind that innocent smile.” He patted the desk.

  Naked, Lolly slid on the worn wood surface and scooted to sit in front of him, her toes teasing his cock. “You’re overdressed.”

  Ham shook his head. “You just lie back.” He spread her knees and kissed up the firm flesh of her thigh.

  Moaning, Lolly reclined on her elbows and watched Ham work.

  Licking over her pussy, Ham teased her slowly. Finally when Lolly’s hips lifted in a demanding way, he tongued her slit and probed to massage her clit.

  “More!” Her hands slid over his head. “Make me come.”

  Pinching her clit between his lips, Ham let it slip and then captured her nub again and again until she groaned, holding his head to her cunt. Licking her clit harder and faster, he held her legs open as she shuddered. “Ham!”

  “Again,” he said.

  “Fuck me,” she moaned.

  His tongue went lower to torment her inner pussy lips. For a second he dipped his tongue into her wet core before returning to her clit.

  “Please!” she gasped.

  Ham lifted his head to watch her as he rubbed his index and middle finger over her clit as fast as he could. His handiwork paid off as she screamed and thrust up, fucking air as her orgasm took control of her every muscle.

  Slowing his fingers, he let her come down from the sexual high. It took all his strength not to fuck her right then and there. But he wanted to play and make it last. Sucking his fingers clean, Ham then pressed a kiss to her thigh.

  “Fuck me,” she said.

  He smiled. “You didn’t get off enough?”

  She took a deep breath. “You need to come too. I want you inside of me.”

  “Not now.” Ham leaned back and unzipped his fly. “You can give me the same treatment but you have to stay on the desk.”

  “What is this? Some weird chief’s office rules?” She flipped over onto her stomach and turned to face him.

  “Fair is fair. I want to feel your mouth now.” Ham missed the sight of her breasts but that gorgeous ass hiked up into view and she reached for his erection.

  Her full lips slid over the tip and Ham resisted the urge to fuck her mouth. Forcing himself to stay in the chair, he watched her glossy hair curl over her shoulders as she worked him. Lolly sucked with force, pushing him to the edge, but there was more. He could feel her love and affection. The soft kisses to his balls and the tender nips when she used her teeth.

  There was no doubt that she loved him, and his equipment. Ham let his hands slid over her back and around to cup her full breasts. He’d never get enough of her body. As much as he l
oved the group thing, having her alone was more intense. He could have both, they could share it all. And sharing her made Ham appreciate her even more. Especially moments like this.

  Lifting to her, he wanted to rip off his clothes and fuck her. Holding back, he wanted her to need it. Lolly had to show just how much she wanted him.

  She hummed on his cock and stroked his balls until Ham was ready to explode. He reached over and smacked her ass to throw her off. Lolly moaned and backed off her sucking.

  “Fuck me now!” she said.

  “Not now. Suck me off first.” One hand tangled in her hair and guided her back as his other hand smacked her bottom until she had a mouthful of him again.

  Lolly went to work on him hard, sucking and tonguing the head of his cock until Ham fucked her mouth and groaned. Cursing under his breath, he knew she’d win soon. Grunting, he gave in to the release and came in her mouth.

  Then he felt her sucking and swallowing his cum like a victor downing champagne.

  “Now,” she said.

  He cupped her face and kissed her. “Come back in an hour. I’ve got a little more work to do.”

  “Bastard!” She bit her lip.

  “You love it. Come back in an hour and I’ll make you come three times. Then maybe you can ride me.”

  “I love you, you pain the ass.”

  “More spanking it is.” He gave her one last slap and released her. Zipping his fly, he had no more work to do but he did want to make her wait just a little bit.

  She dressed slowly and he watched. Lolly was his woman and she was into it all. They were a perfect match and if they could sort out the little things like family and group sex and working together, things would work out perfectly.

  Chapter Five

  A few days later, Ham was on the couch in the firehouse with Bruce and Shane watching a game on TV. Lolly was out on an ambulance run for an allergic reaction. Things had settled into a nice routine of sex, friendship and work.

  “We need to take it to the next level,” Ham said.

  Shane muted the TV. “We agreed to give her time to get used to the situation.”

  “I think she’s comfortable with it. But it’s not like we’re dating or anything.” Bruce shrugged.

  “Everyone thinks she’s dating Ham. Maybe a real date would be a good idea?” Shane asked.

  “All of us go to the movies?” Ham laughed.

  “Dinner. Whatever. Something so it feels more normal to her. If you want to take it to the next level, get her out of the routine,” Brue agreed.

  Just then Ham heard the ambulance pull in. Ten minutes later, Lolly walked in looking gorgeous as ever. She sat on the arm of the couch.

  “Everything go okay?” Ham asked.

  “Sure. The kid’ll be fine. Anything new here?”

  Bruce chuckled. “Nope, quiet as ever. We’re trying to figure out what sort of date to take you on.”

  Shane elbowed Bruce, but Ham was actually relieved to have it out there.

  “Dinner? All of us?” Lolly didn’t show any shock.

  “You don’t want to go on a date?” Shane asked.

  “It can’t really be a date in public. I mean we can’t all be affectionate at the diner or Andre’s café. I don’t see Cassie making out with Alex ever.” Lolly grabbed the remote and flipped around the stations.

  She was comparing them to Cassie and Dom’s group. Ham wasn’t sure if that was a sign of progress or retreat from Lolly, but he decided to keep things moving forward.

  “I don’t see Dom and Cassie making out in public anywhere. We can all go out together and not have to announce to the room it’s a date.” Ham wrapped an arm around her waist to keep her close.

  “But do we deliberately have to hide it? I know people think I’m dating Ham. So what are we doing?” Lolly leaned on him.

  “We are going to make you dinner. Come to our place tomorrow night. We’re all off work so it’s a free night. We can date in private if you can’t keep your hands off us.” Shane grinned.

  “Does that work for you?” Bruce asked. “We’re more than happy to show you off in public, but I’m just as likely to make out with Shane as you.”

  Lolly leaned over and kissed Shane then Bruce. Finally, she gave Ham a slow kiss on the cheek and held onto his form. “I’m not sure how to make all this work, but dinner sounds good.”

  “We’ll talk it out later. Don’t stress. Our little group is doing just fine.” Ham claimed her mouth and made it clear what he needed from her. Not then and now but from their relationship.

  Lolly returned the kiss but pulled back when he tried to tug her across their laps.

  “What’s wrong?” Ham asked.

  “Nothing. I have to restock the rig, and it’s really hot out there today so I could get a heat stroke call. I don’t want to play on duty and regret it.” Lolly headed back down to her truck.

  “She’s nervous.” Shane rested his head on Bruce’s shoulder.

  “Maybe, she’s just got good instincts and doesn’t want to be fucking when someone needs her.” Bruce’s hand slid down Shane’s chest and squeezed.

  “I think dinner is a good idea. She might be nervous about things and worried all the sex here will mess up her career. But we play video games or sleep all the time. It’s not like we can’t stop whatever we’re doing for a call. We’re not animals.” Ham wanted to pin her down and get all the garbage out of the way so they could be happy but off duty would be better.

  When Lolly was in professional mode, it didn’t pay to try and break her focus. The woman was strong willed. It was part of what he loved about her.

  “It’ll work out.” Shane nudged Ham.

  “It better. I’m going for a walk.” Ham got up and left the two alone to grope and kiss. He needed to clear his head, not muddle it, just then. If things went south, Bruce and Shane had each other. Sure, they liked women, too, so they’d go to the parties again and get some pussy here and there. But if this blew, Ham had nothing, and his family would be hurt as well. Alex wouldn’t deal well if Lolly was upset, and Ham would bear the blame.

  When Ham walked by her, he knew deep down it could work. But whether or not it actually would work out was up to her. Ham headed to the back office and got on the phone. If she wanted a date, he’d make sure she got the date treatment.

  * * * *

  The idea of a date had Lolly spinning. Three men were too much for that sort of normal event, but it flattered her. It also turned her on to know they were going to trouble for her. Ham had sent flowers. A huge bouquet had been waiting for her when she got home.

  Now, she sat getting her nails done at Jessica’s Salon. Ham had mentioned Jessica as another women in such a relationship, and while Lolly had never seen it before, the chemistry between her and two of the guys in the salon was clear. How had Lolly never notice that before?

  “You okay?” Jessica asked.

  “Sure. Just a new experience.” Lolly didn’t want to talk too loud. The salon was packed, but it was a hotbed of gossip.

  “A date with Ham? That should be normal from what I’m hearing.” Lolly’s sister, Natalie, sat down next to them.

  “Nat? Hi.” Lolly cursed the small town grapevine. “What do you know about my date?”

  “Nothing specific. You don’t tell the family anything. I had to bring my boyfriend around to meet dad, and you’re running around at work.” Nat soaked her nails as the tech set out her instruments.

  “You were in high school. You got married at twenty-one. I’m an adult, and I don’t live with mom and dad anymore.” Lolly knew sometimes her sisters resented Lolly’s freedom, but they rubbed in that they had husbands and kids every chance they got so Lolly tried to ignore it all.

  “Ham. Really?” Nat asked.

  “What’s wrong with him?” Lolly replied defensively. No way would she take Nat trashing her man. Any of them but especially Ham!

  “He’s dated every single woman in Lucky Springs. Don’t tell me you think yo
u’re special. He’ll have to move to New Orleans for fresh blood. And he’s married to his job and always at the fire station.” Nat shrugged. “You want a man who’ll see his kids.”

  “Kids! You’re getting way ahead of yourself, Natalie.” Lolly pulled her nails from the drying machine.

  “Time for the hair. Come on.” Jessica escorted Lolly away from her sister.

  “Sorry about that,” Lolly said.

  “Family can be rough. But Ham’s a good guy. So are Bruce and Shane.” Jessica smiled.

  Lolly’s face burned as Jessica washed her hair. “You know?”

  “Cassie’s my cousin. She told me she invited you to stand up in the wedding, and she had to tell me why and all of it. That’s family. So your family is clueless?”

  “God, they’d go nuts.” Lolly wanted a happy date, not drama.

  “They don’t need to know. I’ve got four guys. No one needs to advertise it. You think there aren’t kinky people wearing leather collars and using whips around here? Please. People are people. Enjoy it.” Jessica dried off Lolly’s hair.

  The women headed to Jessica’s station, and Lolly stared at herself in the mirror. No one would know by looking at her that she’d had three men inside her at once or how much she’d loved it and wanted it every day. Who needed to know her sex life? Alex had come out of the closet to the family, and it was huge. But there was no coming out with three boyfriends. Lolly had to deal with her secret.

  “You okay?” Jessica asked. “Too quiet.”

  “I’m fine. Just glad someone knows. I’m not totally alone.” Lolly smiled.

  “There aren’t many of us, but it’s a great club to be in. It takes maturity and self-confidence to share that much and trust each other. To trust yourself.” Jessica trimmed the ends of Lolly’s long dark hair.

  “Can I keep them all happy?” Lolly shook her head.

  “Don’t think that way. You can only make yourself happy. If it’s right for you, go for it. What other people think, approve or not, will never make you happy. Your sister might think Ham isn’t going to make enough money as a fireman. Or your mother might not like that he’s on the dark side and she might want her grandkids to look like you and have your skin tone. You can’t please everyone so just worry about you.” Jessica had a mixed background, and Lolly knew Lucky Springs wasn’t some backward town where her dating Ham would be a big issue.
