Joining the Party by Cheryl Dragon

and Dom were an item.
    Slipping into his room, she tapped on the door. “Got a group of girls coming over?” she teased.
    Dom grinned. “Just you. Have fun in town?” He hugged her to him.
    “It’s like I never left.” Cassie didn’t object when he started to undress her. The cues were all there. “I guess we’re doing the photo thing?”
    “No time like the present. The guys are all out.” He nudged her out of her shoes and striped off his own clothes. “You’re the expert with the lighting and the camera.”
    She grabbed the tripod and set it up in front of the nightstand at a bit above bed level. These would be up-close and less angled. They might suck, but she’d find a few good shots to use. She set the auto picture feature and blessed the digital age.
    Then she tilted the lighting as Dom stretched out like a king on the bed. The light blue sheets would show off both of their skin tones rather than wash her out. He had an eye for those things, but it didn’t surprise her. She’d seen his work around town. Sculpting shrubs on the rich houses, he was a secret artist.
    She climbed into bed and straddled him, pressing their bare torsos together. Cassie felt every shift with them this close, but it was more than physical. She was in love with Dom and Alex and Monty. It felt complex until she was alone with them, and suddenly, it was simple. Ham was fun and family, but he was searching for something else. That was okay. Somehow, the life fit her now, doing her photo projects and knowing everyone. Now, she could be herself.
    Cassie always thought she had to leave to be free, but it turned out she had to come home to be brave. She kissed Dom as the camera clicked a couple times.
    “This is weird,” Dom said.
    “Sorry. Alex and Monty were easier because I could move with them. We might have to move the camera a little.” She eased down and kissed his chest, her hair hiding her face but her hands were all over his muscled arms.
    “Whatever works for you. After the pictures.” He rubbed her ass.
    Cassie smiled, already aroused. “Like you could stop me.” Her thighs spread so she could rub her pussy along his hard cock. Rolling them over, she put his hands over her breasts and wrapped her arms around his neck. At arms’ length, it was still sexy as hell.
    “I feel bad working around the others,” she admitted.
    He pinched her nipples, and she arched just as the camera clicked again.
    “They’d want to be in it. I’m not sure group activity is part of your vision. We can do another one later.” Dom moved them, and she was suddenly sitting in his lap their arms and legs wrapped around each other. He dipped his head and kissed her neck then down to her breast. Cassie shivered at the intimacy when they delayed sexual gratification even a little.
    She pushed Dom onto his back and pulled his knees up to be bent. Draping herself on those muscled legs so her breasts pillowed to his flesh, she hoped the angle worked. She wasn’t a size zero, not that these guys ever complained, but one bad angle and the picture was out. She forced the thought away. A few good shots were all she needed.
    After a few more poses, she whispered, “Stand up next to the bed, in front of the camera.”
    He smiled and put his back to the camera as directed. Cassie wrapped her body around him, one leg and both arms. He lifted her gently.
    “I think that’ll do it.” She kissed him. “Thanks.”
    Dom eased her back on the bed, and the door creaked opened.
    “Thank God. Can we come in now?” Alex asked from the door.
    Alex, Monty and Ham stood there watching.
    Cassie nodded. “I thought they were out.” She poked Dom’s arm.
    “Until we wanted them in.” Dom sat next to her.
    “Leave the camera going; we can enjoy them later.” Monty stripped Alex as Alex returned the favor.
    “I’m here for the sexy woman. Pictures I can see anytime.” Ham kissed her. In true Ham fashion, he was already naked and ready.
