Tessa's Redemption by Josie Dennis Page B

the three of them tonight. More than that, however, their dear Tessa had changed as well.
    Angel feared that change would not bode well for the three of them. He held Tessa close as their bodies lost the heat of passion and a chill danced over his flesh.
    “Come, Tessa. Let us get you dressed.”
    Alex roused as well and the two of them clothed her with far more care than the manner in which they’d stripped her earlier. Once dressed, she wore a contemplative expression on her face, mirroring the note Angel had caught in her voice earlier. The languid satisfaction that had filled his limbs not five minutes earlier fled as unease soured his belly.
    He and Alex dressed as well, and the three of them climbed the stairs to their chambers to ready for dinner. Long after dinner, after they had licked and kissed and fucked her again in Alex’s big bed, Angel could not shake the worry that had gripped him since their explosive encounter in the parlor.
    Had it been too much for her? Was she coming to the realization that she does not need two men in her life? In her bed? He might have almost been her legal husband, but Alex was her rescuer. Angel would have to discuss the matter with him. He had said there was no way he would lose Tessa. Well, there was no way in hell Angel would either.
    He only prayed that Tessa wouldn’t make the decision for them.

    Alex stared up at the dark ceiling, Tessa curled up against his side. He and Angel had wrought three climaxes out of her tonight, even after their taking of her in the parlor. Their girl was so hot, her entire being so sensitive to their loving, that she melted with them. God, the feel of her tight ass holding him as Angel slid his massive cock in and out of her pussy had been like nothing he’d ever felt before. He wanted to do it again, and soon.
    He grinned to himself. Not that licking her pussy as Angel thrust into her mouth wasn’t delightful, too. Then she’d sucked Alex as well, keening with pleasure as Angel fucked her from behind. It was simply astounding.
    She’d been so quiet at dinner, though. She wasn’t a woman to prattle on about things, that was true. But a thin line of worry had marred her brow, disappearing only later when she came so hard his ears still rang with her cries.
    Had what he and Angel done been too much for her? She came in the parlor, that was undeniable. Yet their conversation before and after Angel’s arrival stuck with him. She still worried over what had happened in the past. She fretted over their living arrangement now. She might have spoken her forgiveness, but it was a poor substitute for having her at last give herself completely, body and soul. Her body they had for certain. Her soul? Maybe Angel should read a few sermons here in their bed to lend some comfort to their girl.
    Alex had originally wanted to keep her for himself. However, now that he and Angel had fucked her together, he felt himself shifting his desires to include the man in his future with Tessa. Did he want to keep Angel with them? Did Tessa want to make what they shared a permanent arrangement?
    She let out a sigh and burrowed against his neck. Setting aside his worry, he breathed in her scent and it calmed him. Tomorrow would be soon enough to discuss matters with the sainted Angel. Tonight he would take comfort in the knowledge that even after giving herself to Angel so many times now, she still preferred to sleep in his arms.
    He would take that as a good omen. One of the luckiest days of his life had been the day she’d shown up at his mother’s house, second only to the day she’d come to him after Angel cast her out. He was no fool. He’d been blessed with good fortune and was damned if he would let it slip away from him.
     

Chapter 10
    Alex strolled once more down High Street, alone this afternoon. He’d tried to entice Tessa into a shopping trip, but since their interlude in Angel’s office three days past, she had refused to leave the
