“I got you.” Rio appears next to me and takes the bag from my hands.

“Where’s your bag?”

“I already grabbed everything I need,” he says while looking me up and down appreciatively.

My face immediately heats, and I stumble over my words. “Oh. Well. That’s good. That’s important. To have what you need, I mean. When you need it.”

He sets my bag down, tugs me by my waist, and brings my body flush with his. “I’ll always have what I need because I’m never letting you go, Mama.” I begin panting at his words and feel my heart beat rapidly. Staring into his eyes, I can see the fire—his need for me. I feel it wash over me.

“Rio? Spencer? Ready to go?” Zane calls out for us.

I break away from his gaze and sigh, looking around.

“Too bad we’re leaving already. This place would be so fun to play hide-and-seek,” I say with a fake pout and attempt to pull away, but Rio doesn’t let go.

I look back and see that fire burning hotter. “You have no idea what you just started, Mama,” he says with a wide, crazed smile.

“What are you talking about?”

“We enjoy the hunt, Spencer. Especially when we’re together.”

At his truth, my eyes widen. They would never hurt me—I know that. I’m safe with them. Always will be. I just never imagined that they felt that way.

“Hey, guys!” Rio calls for Asher and Zane.

Now I’m thoroughly confused. What is going on? Are we really going to play a child’s game?

“What’s up?” Asher questions as he and Zane round a metal shelf and come into view.

“Spencer, here, wants to play a little game,” Rio says to them without looking away from me.

“I just said that it would be fun to play hide-and-seek. I always had fun playing it at friends’ houses growing up and was really good at it,” I defend myself. I don’t want to seem young and childish.

I may be inexperienced. Or Iwasinexperienced.

Zane and Asher grin at each other and prowl forward, that same crazed fire burning in their eyes, matching Rio. Why do I feel like I walked into a viper’s nest?

Rio slides his hands down to my ass and squeezes as Zane crowds me on the right, leaning down to trail his nose along the length of my neck. Asher stands to my left and grabs my chin firmly, angling my face to look at him.

“You gonna hide for us, Baby?”

“You mean hidefromyou,” I corrected him.

“No. Hideforus,” he says right before he smashes his lips to mine. I instantly open my mouth, and he takes full advantage of my submission, swiping his tongue into my mouth seductively.

My body is overwhelmed with sensation. Zane lightly bites my neck while his hands pull the V of my shirt lower. Oncemy bra is exposed, Rio comments, playfully, “Black lace? Mama, were you planning on seducing us?”

Maybe . . .

I pull away from Asher to refute Rio’s claim, but he grabs my hair with one hand and pulls, forcing me to look back at him.

“You have sixty seconds to run and hide before we find you, and when we do, Rio is going to fuck that sweet pussy of yours and Zane is going to fuck your throat.”

My pussy throbs and I swallow hard. I don’t deny I want it—their touch. I’m desperate for it.

Instead, I ask, “What areyougoing to do if you find me?”

“WhenI find you, I get to fuck your tight little ass.”
