I tell him the truth. ‘Yes, but, I don’t think …’

I glance at Axel who’s still reading on the other side of the room. Except he’s clearly not really reading, he’s watching us while pretending not to.

I realize what Jayce is doing. He’s trying to make it my choice, but sleeping with them is expected. It’s payment for the meal I just enjoyed.

He moves my shirt down to touch my bare skin and I stiffen. ‘Clothes stay on,’ I say.

‘If you wish.’ His tone is pleasant.

I sigh. ‘This feels amazing,’ I say, ‘but you don’t have to go through all the motions. I’ll give you what you want for the food.’

His actions pause and I immediately wish I hadn’t said that. The massage is over.

But then he starts up again. ‘What is it that I want?’ he asks conversationally.

‘To feed?’ I try.

‘I don’t need to feed again so soon,’ he whispers in my ear, making me shiver.

‘Then what? Why are you doing this? Why did you bring me dinner?’

‘Not everything has to be transactional, my cunning little flower,’ he murmurs. ‘Who taught you that every generous deed requires payment?’

I don’t answer him.

‘Close your eyes,’ he instructs with a quiet command. ‘Do we have your permission to make you feel very,verygood?’

Himand Axel?

‘Yes,’ I groan, arching my back when he finds the knot that’s been giving me neck ache for days and begins to work on it.

‘But my shirt stays on,’ I have the presence of mind to reiterate.

‘Deal,’ he says after a moment’s hesitation and somewhere in the back of my mind, I know that he’s wondering why.

I feel another pair of hands running over me. I’m pulled up to my knees and my jeans are unbuttoned before I’m eased down into Jayce’s lap and they’re drawn off me gently.

Jayce’s magic fingers don’t stop until I feel Axel’s tongue lick up my leg from calf to inner thigh and I jump, my eyes flying open. I find him lying between my legs.

‘Eyes closed,’ Jayce whispers.

I do it.

‘Such a good girl for us.’

My breath hitches. His arms hook under my knees and he opens me wide for Axel’s mouth.

‘You really don’t have to do this,’ I mewl.

Axel’s voice is soft. ‘Yes, I do.’

Jayce’s is hard. ‘Yes, hedoesand it’s only the beginning of how he’ll make his dark deeds up to you.’

Axel starts gently, kisses my thighs, getting closer and closer to where, if I’m totally honest with myself, I REALLY want him to be after how Jayce did it the other day.

But when he finally gets to the sweet spot, he doesn’t touch it. He moves around it, tongue licking everywhere except where I need it.

I groan, my hips shifting as I try to get his mouth to exactly where I want it and I feel his chuckle against my body.
