Missing Linc by Kori Roberts (best summer books txt) 📕

up?” Linc remained silent, certain that the answer to his cousin”s question was

already apparent. Hell, it was obvious that Pedro was right all along about his feelings. If

Linc were being truthful with himself, he”d admit that he hadn”t just fallen for Tomi and

Mitch, he”d jumped in headfirst and heart wide-open.

“You know you have to end it between you and them, right?” Pedro said softly. “I

know it”s not what you want to hear, but you know it”s true. And the longer you wait to do

it, the worse it”ll be for everyone when it finally happens.” He continued to watch Mitch and Tomi, looking more at home with his family than he

did now. As far as he was concerned, they were exactly where they belonged, and if he had

his way, this is where they would always be. Christ, why couldn”t life ever be simple?

“I think” — he paused and cleared his voice — “I”m going to head out a little early. I

need…” Mitch and Tomi, but I can”t have them the way I want, and it”s killing me to know

that they”ll never be mine. “…to get up early tomorrow.”

It was a lie, and they both knew it, but Linc didn”t care. He looked longingly at Mitch

and Tomi once more, before he turned away and walked toward his car.

“I”m here for you, primo, if you need me.” Pedro”s voice followed him. He waved over

his shoulder without turning around.

On the way to his car, Linc passed his employee, Mario, who he”d assigned as Tomi and

Mitch”s limousine driver for the day. “Take them wherever they want to go when they leave

here.” Mario nodded in understanding, and Linc got in his car and drove away.

The ride home was a blur, and before Linc knew it, he was outside his house. He”d told

himself that he was going straight to bed, but he couldn”t seem to shut down his brain, so he

wandered around his house instead, thinking about Tomi and Mitch. It wasn”t until his

doorbell rang that he looked at the clock and realized that more than an hour had passed

since he”d gotten home.

Linc opened the door and found them standing there, looking as gorgeous as ever.

“Hi,” Tomi said softly. “You disappeared on us. You tired of our company already?”

He could live two lifetimes and that still wouldn”t be possible. Linc forced a smile,

looking from her to Mitch. “No, I just figured that you two wanted to be alone tonight.”

“We do want to be alone.” Mitch held his gaze. “With you.”

Linc couldn”t refuse them any more than he could refuse his next breath. He waved at

Mario, who still waited by the limo at the curb, before he stepped to the side and let them in.

They undressed Tomi together, carefully removing her wedding dress and laying it to

the side. Mitch was next, and they removed his clothes with equal care before placing them

with Tomi”s dress. When it was his turn, Mitch and Tomi took their time, slowly stripping

off his clothes one piece at a time.

Tonight was different for so many reasons. They all seemed to feel it, yet neither of

them appeared willing to acknowledge it. Their kisses became more gentle, their touches

held more reverence, their bodies joined together with more passion, more emotion than

ever before.

Somehow, Linc found himself in the middle with Tomi beneath him, her legs wrapped

around his hips, and Mitch behind him with his hands on Linc”s ass. Groaning, he sank his

cock deep inside Tomi, and then he pressed back, aching to feel Mitch”s dick inside him. As

he slid smoothly in and out of Tomi”s heat, she moaned for him, the sound filled with

promises of things that there weren”t even words for.

His slow, easy rhythm faltered when two of Mitch”s lube-coated fingers pushed inside

him, and then he started up again, riding the sensations in his cock and his ass. In one easy

movement, Mitch”s cock replaced his fingers, and he pushed in, spreading Linc wide, the

sensation aching, burning, making him gasp and push deeper into Tomi.

He bit his lip, forcing back the words that threatened to overwhelm him, knowing that

if he let it go, he”d say something he”d regret, something about how he desperately wanted

and needed them, how far he”d fallen in love with them already. No, Linc couldn”t do that.

His body said too much already. He couldn”t help it. Tomi knew just where to kiss; Mitch

knew exactly where to touch him to send him flying.

Mitch”s hand slid between them and found Tomi”s clit, rubbing and teasing until she

was screaming. Her walls tightened around Linc, causing his own muscles to clench around

Mitch”s cock as his bellow of pleasure filled the room. Mitch”s roar matched his, and Linc felt the heat from Mitch”s pleasure shoot deep

inside him. Linc jerked a few more times, rocking back and forth between them, trying to

make it last as long as possible, knowing he”d probably never share this with them again.

Finally, he went still, panting heavily, holding himself up so he didn”t collapse on top of

Tomi.

They settled in next to him, falling asleep long before he did. Linc lay there for hours

with his cousin”s words repeating in his head.

It killed him to admit it, but Pedro was right. However, that was little comfort when

he had no idea what he was going to do without Mitch and Tomi in his life once he”d said

good-bye to them forever.

Chapter Fourteen

Linc stood in his home office, staring out of his window, looking at nothing. His mind

was spinning, his heart heavy with the decisions he”d made. He”d been up most of the night

arguing with himself, trying to figure out the best way to end things with them. No matter

how he tried to spin it, no matter how he wanted to position it, the outcome was always the

same: heartache. Finally, just before dawn arrived, Linc settled on the quickest option of all;

the one guaranteed to push Mitch and Tomi away without them making any effort to change

his mind.

He stiffened, sensing more than hearing a presence behind him. When Mitch”s
