“Please?” I was sure I looked pretty damn pitiful thrown over Maddox’s shoulder, so a simple pouting of my bottom lip would hammer the nail into the Evan-is-pitiful-can’t-say-no-to-him coffin. “I really want to see you.”
“You do?” Lake’s tail wagged twice before he forced it to still. Was it weird that I really wanted to touch it? I bet it was soft and fluffy, just like his ears. He cleared his throat and averted his gaze. “I’ll be here at dawn.”
He left the cottage without another word, closing the door behind him.
“Up the stairs we go,” Maddox said before charging down the hall.
“Have mercy!” I tried to wiggle free as he ascended the steps to the second floor.
Maddox held on tighter, probably to prevent me from falling off with all my wiggling. “Face your punishment like the fearsome muffin lord you are.”
He threw me on the bed. Briar entered the room with an amused skew of his mouth.
“You’re the nice one,” I told Briar. “The one who can stop his evil ways. Save me.”
Briar chuckled. “You brought this on yourself, love.”
As Maddox lunged at me, I shrieked, the squeal blending into a laugh. He tickled my sides before pinning me down and dropping a soft kiss to my neck. Then another. His body hardened on top of me, and fuck, mine did too.
“Don’t have too much fun without me,” Briar said, taking off his glasses. He unbuttoned his shirt as he neared the bed.
The two of them then teamed up to torture me in the best way, taking turns sucking my cock and fingering me. Bringing me to the brink of release before denying me. Again and again.
An eternity passed as I lay between them, at their mercy, sweating and quivering as I lost my goddamn mind with the need to come. Maddox then mounted me, kissing my neck as his thick cock breached me. His hips snapped forward, then back, slow at first. But I didn’t want nice and slow. Not that night.
“Harder,” I whined, clawing his muscled back. I needed more of him.
All of him.
“You’re the only one I take orders from,” Maddox murmured against my jaw. “My Evan.”
Those two words choked me up for some reason. They added softness to the hard fucking he gave me. Briar stroked himself as he watched us, his lips parting.
“Briar,” I said on a moan.
“What do you need, love?”
“You.”
Briar settled beside me on the mattress, one hand still around his shaft as his lips brushed my temple. “You’ve got me.”
When they finally let me come, I was sure all of Bremloc heard my pleasured cries. They held me afterward, Maddox spooning me while my head rested on Briar’s chest. Maddox softly kissed my nape as Briar threaded his fingers through my hair.
It was so familiar. Safe.
“About Lake…” I said, my earlier guilt flaring up and settling in the center of my chest like a ton of bricks. “Are you sure you’re both okay with it?”
The question I nearly asked but couldn’t? Was I worth all the trouble? In my previous world, I had no interest in real men and spent my time with fictional ones. But inthisworld, I had three men I wanted to be with.
“Yes.” Briar twirled a strand of my hair around his finger. “I am.”
I glanced back at Maddox. His expression gave nothing away—cool, collected, and hiding all the thoughts he kept inside his head, the feelings he often locked away in his heart. “What about you, Captain? Are you happy? Tell me the truth.”
“The truth?” Maddox shifted to where he leaned over me, his black hair falling forward. It had grown longer over the weeks, and I loved it. Just like I loved him. So much it hurt. “The truth is my life was simpler before you came here. Easier.”
My sternum squeezed.
“Easier… but not better.” Maddox cupped the back of my head in his big hand and lowered his face to my collarbone. A small tremor went through his large body. “I love you so much it frightens me, Evan. Bringing the wolf into our lives, one who’s harmed your delicate, soft skin, shakes me to my core. You ask if I’m happy? I’m terrified. But only because with you, I’ve finally found a home. And I can’t bear the thought of anything or anyone taking you from me.”
