V. J. Villamayor

"Ladies, I don't know if you can tease a man like me and not expect me to join the party?"

Celia pulled back and licked her lips. "I would've thought that was an obvious open invitation...?"

The stranger smiled, his hands moved higher over their ribcages and swept across their chests to rub a thumb over their nipples through their dresses. "Name's Marcus. Let's go then, ladies."

Celia and Elise know exactly what they’re doing—flirting, teasing, and playing with fire. But when Marcus joins in, the heat turns unbearable. A night of temptation becomes an irresistible invitation, where boundaries blur, pleasure reigns, and three is anything but a crowd.
