The words hung in the air for a second as I considered what they were asking. They wanted the four of us, together, in public.

I crossed my arms, giving them a playful look. “I’ve done a lot of unorthodox things with y’all, but I don’t know if I can dothat.”

Storm chuckled. “I mean, was playing, but now—“

“Now, we’re serious,” Titan finished. “Let’s make that happen, Goddess.”

I hesitated, excitement coiling in my stomach. Out with all of them And nobody would know but us?

Sounded kinda sexy.

“Fine,” I said, shrugging a shoulder. “But don’t expect me to hold y’all’s hands or feed you cake or anything.”

Titan made a face at me. “I don’t give a fuck who’s watching. If I want to lick frosting off your pretty little fingers, I will.”

Heat spread through me. “Maybe,” I said shyly, earning a smirk from him.

Cruz walked up to me, bending down to kiss my cheek. “Have a good day, sexy. Don't trip and fall in them stilettos.”

I swatted at him before turning my gaze to Titan. “Goodbye kiss from you?”

“If you have to ask…”

Ugh, he was so annoyingly sexy. I walked over to him and tilted my head up, silently pleading for affection. He stared down at me with those dark eyes, cupped my chin, and nipped my lower lip.

I knew better than to ask for more, so with my head swirling and my body ablaze, I grabbed my bag off the counter so I could make my exit. As I reachedfor my keys, Storm caught my wrist, gently pulling me toward him.

He reached into his wallet and handed me his black Amex.

“Take this.” His voice was low and thick. “When you go shopping, I want you to spend enough to make me sweat.”

I narrowed my eyes playfully. “Define sweat.”

He smirked, his eyes dropping to my lips. “If you send me a pic of your dress and I ask for a price, that means I’m sweating. If I call, that means I’m excited.” He leaned in, his lips brushing my ear. “If the card doesn’t go through, that means you went too far.”

“But it’s black.”

He pressed his lips to mine, pulling back with a smack. “You’re in charge, Princess. If you wanna fuck my shit up, I’ll just have to take it, won’t I?”

Warm tingles spread through my lower body, landing right between my legs.

“You will,” I said softly as I plucked the card from his fingers.

Titan and Cruz exchanged a look, and Cruz a big grin, but they didn’t comment. They seemed to be enjoying this in a waythat felt very familiar, like they were watching a rerun of their favorite show play out onscreen.

I made it to work somehow, but I didn’t remember the journey. I was too preoccupied with thoughts of Storm, and this new reality I was living in with him.

Last night was…mindblowing. And not just the physical part. The foot washing and oral sex felt good, of course, but something about him sharing his deepest desires with me felt even better. Paradigm-shifting, in fact. Because I know it wasn’t easy for him to expose himself like that to me.

It was special.

And now, he expected me to escalate, and I wasn’t sure I knew how to do that. I had no idea where the line was, or how to strike a balance.

Make him sweat? I didn’t even know his budget. The parameters he set were ambiguous enough to makemesweat.

But maybe that’s what he wanted.

Well.
