Page 63 of Her Devious Daddies

“Do we have to do this like we’re in kindergarten or are we going to speak to each other respectfully?” Logan asked softly.

“I’m furious and hurting and if I don’t say it all now, it will stew inside of me forever. Then it will turn into resentment. So, I’ll start by saying I’m serious about making this work. Us. All three of us. So, I’m upset, and yet I’m open-minded and hopeful.”

Logan leaned back, his head resting against the wall. “What do you think?”

“I want to hear it. I should have listened to it two weeks ago, but I wasn’t ready. Let me have it, Karsyn. Whatever is on your mind, the good, the bad, the ugly. Lay it on me.” August made a bring-it-on gesture with his hand.

“You speak a lot about respect in our dynamic, but dumping me over text is one of the most disrespectful things you could have done. I deserve better than that. Obviously, if the situation was different or maybe toxic, then I’d understand why.”

“You’re right. You have an excellent point. It doesn’t make it any better, but the text I sent to Logan was worse. I was a coward because instead of talking to either one of you, I let my overthinking get the best of me.”

“What did I do at the club that made you think I didn’t want to be with you anymore?”

“Aw, Feisty. No, it wasn’t like that at all.” August took my hand and rubbed his thumb across mine.

“But I wrecked our scene.”

“No, babygirl. You didn’t. I couldn’t put it into words, believe me, I wanted to, but it was all me. I kept….” He swallowed hard and looked down.

Logan looped his arm around him, pulling him closer. “She needs to hear it. All of it.”

I waited patiently for him to gather the strength or courage or whatever else was preventing August from explaining.

“I kept comparing myself to Logan. All throughout our scene. No matter what I said or did, it seemed like he was the better choice for you. I didn’t trust myself to bring you to where I wanted you to go, and I wound up wrecking the scene. If I had reminded myself that no one does medical play better than me, it would have been just fine. You would have enjoyed it.”

Heat rose to my face as I remembered the way he’d stroked places inside of me no one else ever had. “And you’re so humble about it,” I teased.

“You’re blushing. Tell me you haven’t thought about it since then.”

Fuck. As mad as I’d been since I’d last set eyes on him, August had starred in my fantasies. I never thought I could be into medical play before, but I’d been researching it and reading naughty books that featured it. After each new story, I’d gone to bed playing with myself and thinking of him and the sound of gloves being snapped on.

Logan nudged August with his elbow. “Her ears are getting red. You’re clearly on the right track. And, you’ve apparently been hiding some things, babygirl. We’ll revisit this conversation later.”

“Yes, Sir.” I swept my gaze from Logan to August. “So, I’ve thought about it. But I wasn’t really sure what to expect at the club. Now that I’ve… investigated the topic more, I want to negotiate again.”

“Good to know. To get back to the main issue, I was wrong. I let things go sideways because I couldn’t stop battling Logan. It was my nerves, but I didn’t say that either.”

“You were nervous?” I was surprised by his confession.

“Yeah, babygirl. I wanted you to have an amazing experience. I didn’t want you to overthink and yet I was doing the same damn thing. Will you please forgive me?”

He squeezed my hand, and I returned the gesture of affection. “Yes, I forgive you.”

“Give me another chance. I promise I’ll do my best not to fuck it up.”

“All right.”

“Phew. That was easier than I thought it was going to be.”

“Logan advocated pretty hard for you,” I said sweetly.

August leaned his head on Logan’s shoulder. “Thank you, Sir.”

Logan planted a kiss on the crown of his head. “You’re welcome. Are we all good now? If either of you have anything to get off your chest, this is a good time to do so.”

“I don’t have anything else to say, Sir,” August confirmed.

“I’m not completely okay, but I’d like to move forward, Daddy,” I assured Logan.
