Romance Contemporary | Erotic
Grant and Vivi have a happy marriage characterized by a deep love, trust, and passion. Cade has been Grant's best friend since they were boys, and Vivi's friend and favorite dance partner (due to Grant's two left feet) since she came into their lives. Grant and Vivi are open to sexual experimentation, but the stakes go way up when Vivi suggests a threesome with Cade. Suddenly, Grant is confronting longstanding feelings for Cade, and Cade is struggling with fulfilling a dream at the risk of losing his two best friends. Can this couple become a threesome without losing all they hold dear? With COMING CLEAN, Inez Kelly has written a lovely erotic story that is both tender and sexy. The deep and committed friendships between Grant, Vivi, and Cade infuse sweetness into their sexual exploration. Don't get me wrong, though, the sex scenes are well-written and descriptive. I just really liked that the characters were well developed and their love for each other was palpable, not an easy task to accomplish with a relatively short story. I look forward to reading more by Ms. Kelley.
SUMMARYGrant and Vivi Michaelson share everything in their
marriage: love, commitment-and their wildest sexual
desires. But their relationship is tested when Vivi admits
she wants a threesome with Grant's old friend Cade,
proposing their annual trip to the lake as the perfect
opportunity to fulfill her fantasy.
All three of them are aroused by the idea. Vivi and Cade
have long felt a smoldering attraction to each other...and
Grant and Cade have hidden an illicit desire for decades.
Going through with the mรฉnage will test their boundaries,
reveal old secrets...and maybe tear them apart. After all,
there might be room for Cade in bed, but is there room for
a third in their marriage?
EXCERPTGrantโs Butterflies
How do you ask your best friend to fuck your wife?
Grant slathered olive oil across the hot grill in a
burst of nerves. He shouldnโt be sweating this. Cade had
been his buddy since fourth grade, his college roommate,
his best man when he married Vivi. Theyโd been through
first beers, first girlfriends and first fuck-ups. They
knew far too much about each other to have secrets. But
this wasnโt a secretโit was a fantasy.
Viviโs fantasy.
Well, it had started that way.
He lined the ribs on the grill and let his gaze drift to
the patio door, catching sight of Vivi carrying a plastic
basket toward the laundry room. Even after ten years of
marriage, he was head over ass in love with her. She was
his other half, and each day with her was a gift. Every
curve of her body, each tiny freckle he knew by heart.
There wasnโt one thing about her he hadnโt memorized, from
her sleepy sigh as she drifted to dreamland to the shuffle
of her feet in the morning. He could never give her up.
Heโd never share her with anybodyโฆunless that was what she
wanted.
Vivi wanted Cade.
Actually, she wanted them both at the same time.
That and more.
So did Grant.
Which scared the shit out of him.
Vivi stepped into the backyard, carrying a steaming pan,
and his breath jammed in his lungs. Greedily, he lapped up
the way the sunlight turned her pony-tailed hair to old
penny auburn and kissed her cheeks with health. A smudge of
barbeque sauce along her wrist highlighted the delicate
bones, and his mouth longed to feel the pulse there.
Beneath a mint green T-shirt, her high breasts pressed
tightly, outlined by the lace edging of her bra.
She handed him a saucepan and a brush, her bottom lip
tucked between her teeth. โWe donโt have to do this.โ
โRibs would be kind of plain without the sauce,โ he
teased.
Her eyebrow quirked upward. โYou know what Iโm talking
about.โ
โI know.โ Grant lovingly thumbed the single dimple that
appeared with her smile.
For a long minute, she studied his face, searching for
something. He deliberately kept his expression blank. He
should have known better. Vivi could sniff out a Christmas
gift in July.
โAre you sure youโre okay with idea of the three of us?โ
He jerked the grill lid up and slapped a brushful of
dark red sauce across the ribs. โI told you what Iโฆwhat
happened when we were kids, between Cade and me.โ
Heโd told her about that teenaged experiment right after
they got married. Sheโd never judged him. It had opened the
way for more personal, deeper discussions of their sexual
pasts, their fantasies. That freedom wove itself into their
marriage, and heโd always enjoyed listening to her dreams.
Some of them he helped her enact, others he adapted as best
he could. She did the same for him. Like that cheerleader
outfit she bought a few years agoโฆ He got hard just
remembering what sheโd done with those pompoms.
Her arms slid around his waist, her breasts pressed
tight to his back, and kissed his shoulder through his
shirt. โYeah, but that was a long time ago. This is now. Do
you still want everything you told me about?โ
Grant fixed his eyes on the sizzling ribs but didnโt see
them. He saw only the night this idea had been born.
Viviโs body had shuddered as the aftershocks of orgasm
ricocheted through her. Every muscle had gone limp, her
thighs releasing the vise-like hold theyโd had around his
hips.
โRide โem, cowgirl.โ He chuckled as her sweat-damp naked
body collapsed beside him.
She poked his side. โYou didnโt seem to mind playing
horsey.โ
โHell, no. Iโll play any game you like.โ
She snuggled up beside him, kissing his heaving chest.
She swooped her long hair over her shoulder and propped her
chin on her laced fingers. โAnything?โ
With his eyes closed, he felt her stare rather than saw
it. โAnything.โ
He didnโt need his sight to know her cheeks colored when
she turned her face away and said, โNever mind.โ
โCome on, what?โ
โI justโฆI donโt want you to get mad.โ
The silky skin of her back slid under his palm. โI
wonโt.โ
โPromise?โ she asked. He nodded and she took a slow
breath. โI was kind ofโฆfantasizing.โ
He cracked one eye and smiled. โCare to share it?โ
A slight firming of her muscles tightened his stomach in
anticipation. Vivi fingered his hair. โOkay, here goesโฆ
remember your promise. I was thinking aboutโฆa threesomeโฆ
with two men.โ
Grant cocked his head at her. โWas I one of them? Ouch!โ
Vivi smoothed the lock of hair sheโd just tugged. โOf
course you were.โ
โSo who was the other guy? That actor that makes you
drool?โ
โDoes it really matter?โ Vivi nibbled her lip and looked
away.
โYeah, I want to know.โ She wouldnโt turn her face
toward him and her evasiveness piqued his curiosity. โVivi,
tell me.โ
She brought her gaze back to his. โIt was Cade.โ
His bones turned to sheetrock.
