“Careful,” she whispered, grinding against him. “Don’t give him any ideas. He’ll fuck us hard.”

“So fucking hard.” Carter bit her shoulder, and witnessing the square of his teeth sinking into her skin shot right down to my throbbing dick. I gripped it and rubbed the tip up against Ivy’s clit, groaning as the sensation snaked up my spine, urging me on. She moaned, spreading her legs wider. “Come on, DC. We’re waiting.”

Jesus Christ.

I’d done this with Miri before. I was pretty sure we’d done this to Ivy at Midsummer, but I wanted to make sure she was ready. I wanted to draw this out, just for us. I pushed a finger inside her, stroking the spot that made her wilt. She writhed against my hand, clearly ready for more, so I put two fingers in, pushing back against the skin separating me from Carter. The link between the three of us fascinated me, and I could have sat there for the rest of eternity, playing with Ivy’s beautiful cunt and Carter’s magnificent dick.

“Stop screwing around, Lucifer.” Ivy tilted her head toward me, staring out with molten metal eyes gone to lust. “Just fuck me already.”

I should have punished her for the outburst. I’d told her to keep her mouth shut, but I sensed this was about her urgency, and I’d been rough on her all day.Finally, giving my X what she wanted, I positioned myself at her entrance and surged inside that tight warmth, nearly collapsing at the scalding, slippery sensation that shot down my spine.

“Fucking shit fuck,” I said, thrusting harder, causing her to sink into Carter. He sat against the headboard, her head thrown over his shoulder, his hand loose around her throat.

She tensed, letting out a moan of protest, and clawed her nails into my stomach to stop me. “It’s tight.”

“Yeah,” Carter said, his voice breathless. “So fucking tight.”

“Slow,” she whimpered. “Go slow.”

I eased in, and Carter’s cock jerked against us both, andholy shit,it felt so good. I knew she needed me to slow down, to let her get used to it, but the way she enveloped me, envelopedus,made me so hard. I couldn’t stop myself. Her hot breath coasted down the front of my chest, the scent of her shampoo and sweat mixing with Carter’s assaulted every one of my senses. Her soft skin molded under mine, and my arms shook as I tried to hold myself up.

“Fuck, this feels so good.” Once I was sheathed to the hilt, I didn’t think I’d be able to hold out very long. She wiggled under me, writhing and constricting her muscles taut with how much we stretched her.“How you doing?”

“It’s a lot.”She gasped, sending a surge of pain along our connection. I winced and started to pull out, but she dug her fingers into my ass to hold me inside. “Not yet.”

I nuzzled my face into her neck, kissing her windpipe,her X,and worked my way over to Carter, kissing him before biting Ivy’s ear. “Mercy?”

She made a small moan again, but rolled her hips, rocking us together, clenching and relaxing around both of us. I hissed, Carter growled, and she did it again.

I didn’t need any further motivation. I gripped the headboard above Carter with one hand and thrust myself deeper inside her. Once. Twice. Until I couldn’t resist the urge to go faster. Harder.

Carter had been right. I meant to fuck both of them until we collapsed. I wanted to let them know they belonged to me. We belonged to each other. Only one piece of our square was missing, and once she got here, we’d get her caught up on the lost time.

For now, I took Chicago and X like the world would never end, like we could live between each other’s legs until the heavens crashed around us. I bit Ivy’s throat and clawed at Carter’s hair, and by the time I came in deep, punishing thrusts, Ivy had wilted into a state of total bliss, having climaxed too many times to count. She tightened around both of us, spurning Carter’s orgasm. The groans he made burned themselves into my brain. Damn me, but I loved being right here, on top of both of them.

I’d snorted everything under the sun. I’d gone on benders that had led to memory loss. But this? I’d never known true ecstasy like being in bed with my spouses. Talk about some repulsive, hopeless romantic bullshit. But I’d swear it was true.

Once we were satisfied, I rolled to the side, and we relaxed in a heap of pheromones and cum in the enormous bed, laughing down the intensity between us.

“And you thought you wouldn’t have any fun,” I said, kissing Ivy.

She sighed and laughed in response, her cheeks turning that adorable shade of blush as I leaned in to take Carter’s mouth just as passionately.

Carter

Icouldn’t sleep, and I was sandwiched between the reasons why. Something was going on with Lex and Ivy, something more than what they’d confessed. The sex had been amazing, another night in a long line of fan-fucking-tastic between us.

If it had been like all the other times, I wouldn’t be awake at two in the morning, staring at the ceiling like a lost puppy. I loved Lex, and I loved Ivy, and for as long as I’d known them, I’d suspected they loved each other as much as they proclaimed their immense hatred.

Once upon a time, I’d even asked him to take care of her, to put her back together when he tore her apart. He’d tried his best, but without Miri and me to soften the space between them, they’d never been more than frenemies. For the last four years, both had insisted that was it. Nothing more. Nothing less.

A stinging jealousy simmered just below the surface, the one that screamed at me for moving away. Ivy and Lex lived together. They got to have all of each other all the time, and in that existed a unique intimacy I yearned to have with both of them. But a new ache had added gasoline to what ignited long ago.

The implications of tonight rattled around in my imagination. He’d brought her up to this romantic, secluded cabin in the woods two days before I’d gotten here. When I finally did, I walked in on her tied to the table, having been edged for an hour beforehand. There had been moments where I’d swear they were communicating with more than their words.

Ivy could get inside anyone’s head whenever she wanted, but her eyes typically turned white when she did. So what the fuck was going on? It smelled like Ivy and Lex were keeping secrets again, like they had uncovered a hidden side of themselves they didn’t share.
