“No fucking way,” Kieran breathes. “I am doing this, Kieran. It’s my choice,” I say and my tone brooks no argument.
“I have to do something! I am the one who wants Hush gone. I’m doing this, with or without you. I can’t expect the two of you to take them down when you’ve made it clear that you’re only in this for the dirty money they’ll pay for more of your disgusting videos.”
Kieran’s mouth opens and closes as if deciding not to voice what he is thinking. Guilt flashes in his beautiful green eyes before he drops his gaze to his hands without saying a word.
Fintan is wearing a similar expression and clears his throat. “Are you sure about this, Dove?”
I nod firmly. “I understand the risks, but I also understand the potential rewards.”
Kieran looks at us with shock plastered across his handsome face before speaking up. “You aren’t seriously okay with this?” he growls in Fintan’s direction.
Fintan looks torn, his eyes darting between Kieran and me. “I don’t like it, but if Alex believes it’s our best shot at taking down Hush, then I’m in,” he says, running a hand through his hair.
“But we need to be careful and make sure we’re not crossing any lines. The three of us need to discuss the content before we step in front of the cameras.”
“You’re going to help me take Hush down? What changed your minds?” I ask, shocked at his words.
“Kieran changed my mind, Dove.”
Turning to Kieran, I search his eyes for confirmation and he nods. “Kieran, please trust me on this. I know it’s a lot to ask that I be a part of this, but we need to stick together if we want to succeed.”
Kieran’s jaw clenches as he studies me, his expression is a mixture of frustration and concern. He lets out a resigned sigh. “Fine,” he concedes. “But we do this my way. I have an idea.”
Fintan and I glance at each other and back at Kieran as we wait for him to explain. “What is it, Darlin’?” Fintan asks, reaching over my lap and taking hold of Kieran’s hand.
“I am not hurting either of you for Hush. If we do this, we do it together in every sense of the word. I want this to be beneficial for the three of us and not add to the problems.”
I reach out my hand and place it on top of theirs, giving them a quick squeeze as my sad smile tugs the corners of my mouth. “I like that, but how are we going to do that and still get Hush’s attention? We can’t really make the videos all mushy and safe,”I say, almost laughing in disbelief and my nerves kicking my heartrate up.
“You recorded everything from your basement, Dove. Do you still have the footage?” Kieran asks in a raw tone without making eye contact.
Fintan stirs beside me, clearly uncomfortable at the mention ofmylittle home torture video.
“Kai…” I mutter but I can’t seem to find the words to voice how bad I think this idea is. I know what happened in that basement still haunts him. It haunts me too, although I have an easier time compartmentalizing.
Maybe this is how he heals himself? Maybe he wants to use the footage to help Alex heal herself too? Will I heal from doing this?
Fuck, I don’t like where this is going.
“Think about it. What better way to make waves than to post a video of the actors getting punished by their target. It’s new. It hasn’t been done. If we word the caption correctly, this will blow up in hours,” Kieran explains with a look of determination.
“One video isn’t going to get us where we need to be,” Alex says, rubbing each of our thighs with a small smirk.
“I don’t submit, little Dove,” I counter in a warning tone. She giggles as she squeezes my leg before moving to grip my cock through my jeans. “Don’t worry, pet. I think the power struggle will work in our favor,” she purrs, winking at me before slidingoff the bed and facing us on her knees before taking our hands in hers.
Fuuuck, she looks delicious on her knees like this.
“You know I hate that nickname,” I say, running my tongue along the inside of my bottom lip, enjoying the sting of the small cut I received from Joel’s sucker-punch this morning as I enjoy the view of her pretty eyes looking up at me.
“We’ll make more videos and switch it up every time,” Kieran suggests with a mischievous smile as he rakes his fingers into my hair and pulls me close.
“You’ll need to work on getting over your control issues,Mo mhuirnín,”he murmurs against my lips. Alex trails her fingertips up our legs, teasing us as she agrees to the plan.
The sensation sets my body ablaze as I seal my lips to Kieran’s and the whimper that slips from Alex’s lips from watching us is enough to drive me wild, but I pull back with heavy lustful breaths.
“Then we’re agreed?” I am hard and my heart hammers in my ribcage. Kieran nods with nothing but a twisted hunger in his dark green eyes while Alex bites her lip.
“We might as well get paid to fuck. We’re just taking their money before we destroy them and let’s be honest, we don’t need incentives to do what we do so well together,” Alex says, straightening off the hardwood floor with a sultry smile and holds out her hands for us, nodding her head toward the door of the bedroom.
