Page 159 of They Are Mine

Not demanding. Not teasing. Just soft. Lingering. Like he’s memorizing me.

Oh, sir.

I slide my arms around his neck and kiss him back just as slow, just as sweet, knowing, just knowing, he’s already mine.

I let him hold me until my body fully remembers how to function. Until the world settles back into place and my pulse slows from a desperate sprint to something softer. Something satisfied.

I trace my fingers along his chest, dragging lazy patterns over warm, solid skin. His heartbeat is steady beneath my touch, but I know I rattled him tonight. I know he’s still feeling me, sinking into me, realizing that nothing will ever feel this good again.

“Next time needs to be at my place, sir,” I murmur, low and sure.

I feel his breath hitch. Just a little.

“Needs?” he repeats, like he’s testing the word on his tongue.

I press a slow, lingering kiss to his jaw. “Yes, sir. That’s how this works. With me. With my family.”

That makes him tense. Ah. There it is. He thinks he’s about to get control back, but I’m already five steps ahead.

I sit up, stretching, letting him get one last good look at everything that now belongs to him. His gaze lingers. I feel the weight of it as I slide out of bed, as I move through his space like I own it. Like I own him.

Because I do.

And I know he’ll come.

You don’t fuck like that just once. That? That is forever.

I step into the other room, collecting my clothes, dressing at an unhurried pace. I don’t look back when I say it.

“Saturday.” I smooth my skirt. “Seven.”

I don’t wait for an answer.

Because there’s only one answer.

He’ll come.

He’ll fall.

And by the time the night is over, he’ll understand exactly what it means to be mine.

I step outside, inhaling the crisp night air, already buzzing with excitement.

Noah and Orion are going to love him.

I know exactly what I’m cooking.

And I’ll need to pick up some blindfolds.

For all three of my men.

Chapter Twenty-Three

Juliet

Orion and Noah could not believe what I told them.

Well, Orion could. He was so excited that the minute I picked up new blindfolds and restraints, he insisted they needed to be tested immediately.
