“That’s hot,” Parker said, looking at the way my leg emerged from the long slit of the dress.
“It’s about to get hotter,” I said, and then it gave me an idea. I stepped around Parker’s chair and moved in front of the fireplace. Heat from the flames warmed my back. The heat on my flushed face was more from what I was about to do, not the fireplace. I reached a hand under Mason’s crisp white shirt and slid one shoulder strap down my arm. Then I did the same on the other side.
I was still fully covered, but the only thing holding up the slinky dress was the hand I’d clamped to my waist.
Jude sucked in a sharp breath, while Parker seemed not to breathe at all. He just waited and watched.
I let the dress fall to the floor. For a moment, no one moved. No one breathed. I was still covered by Mason’s large dress shirt, but we all knew I was naked underneath. And hell, with the light from the fire behind me, maybe they saw the outline of my curves better than I thought.
I kicked the dress in Parker’s direction, and he scooped it up, leaning over, depositing it on a shelf by the wall that was well out of Mason’s line of sight. Smart man.
Then Mason stood and moved to my side. He cupped my face in his warm hands and leaned down to kiss me. He didn’t try to brush up against me or squeeze my ass—he just kissed me. “Thank you,” he said when he released me.
“You’re welcome,” I said, my voice so soft that he might have only seen my lips move. But he knew what I said.
Jude stood up to join us. “You look really hot in that shirt.” His eyes glinted in the light from the fireplace. “Although I’m not sure you need that many buttons.”
I grinned and undid two at the top so the shirt was open all the way down to the valley between my breasts.
“Nice,” Jude said, hooking a finger at the opening of my shirt and tugging lightly. But he didn’t try to spread the sides of the shirt open or anything like that. “Now, I believe there’s still the matter of what punishment you deserve for brazenly coming to dinner without panties on.”
Arousal filled me, but part of my brain wanted to argue. Since when did guys take offense to a woman not wearing panties? But the majority of my brain wanted to see where it might end up.
Jude watched my expression closely and then, apparently satisfied with what he saw, he turned to Mason. “Why don’t you go sit down?”
Mason nodded, and for some reason, it made me more sure than ever that those two had shared a woman before. They worked well together—a fact boding well for me, making me weak at the knees.
Jude put an index finger under my chin, raising my head. He gave me a very thorough kiss and then sighed. “I’m sorry, princess, but the punishment for a first offense like that is a spanking.”
“I understand,” I said solemnly, and I heard Parker chuckle softly behind me.
Jude took my hand and led me back to Mason. “Lay down on his lap, Kylie.”

Kylie
My heart skipped several important beats as Jude’s words echoed in my brain. I’d never played like that before, but suddenly, I really wanted to. Except… It was hard, too. Could I really just lay across him, knowing that at any moment, all three of them would see my ass?
Jude shook his head. “Where’s the brave woman who told three men she didn’t know she was moving in with them?”
“That woman wouldn’t be afraid to lay across my lap,” Mason added.
I bit my lip, debating with myself. Then I placed one knee on the couch next to Mason and then the other. Crawling over his lap, I lowered myself down.
Hands descended on me instantly, and I flinched, but none of them did anything alarming. Parker knelt down by my face and ran his fingers through my hair. Mason rested his heavy, broad palm on the small of my back. And Jude trailed his fingers down the back of my thighs.
I worked hard to slow my breathing and relax, but it wasn’t easy. Not only was I turned on, but I was also incredibly jumpy, trying to anticipate what might happen next.
Even though Mason was the one who’d soon spank me, his touch calmed me the most. He didn’t even move his fingers, he just pressed lightly on my back and it felt like warmth from his fingers seeped through the shirt and into my skin.
Then he leaned down toward my head. “Ready for me to bare those sweet cheeks, sweet cheeks?”
His whispered words caused me to squirm on his lap. But then I took a deep breath and nodded.
