‘Use your words if you need to,’ he murmurs against my mouth.
‘Okay,’ I whisper, not sure what’s about to happen, but my body is already humming with anticipation.
If sex involved food, no doubt I’d be salivating like a Pavlovian dog right about now. Maybe I am salivating, just not in my mouth.
With my hands still under the covers, I surreptitiously move the nearest to between my legs and I find myself already wet.
‘Just like a bell ringing,’ I mutter to myself.
I squeal as the comforter is ripped away and I pull my hand away from myself, but they’ve already seen.
‘Ha!’ Blake shouts. ‘I knew she was touchingourpussy.’
He lunges forward and takes my hand, licking the fingers that were just exploring.
‘Delicious,’ he hums. ‘Fuck, if I could bottle you, I’d drink you like I was dying of thirst.’
‘What are you going to do?’ I ask Shade, fearing he’s going to spank me like the last time I did something he didn’t like.
I don’t think I’d mind it usually, but I’m still bruised and sore from Joe’scorrection.
I flinch a little as Shade cages me in with his arms on either side of me. ‘Not what you’re thinking,’ he assures me. ‘You’re going to love it but hate it at the same time.’
‘I don’t understand.’
Blake chuckles. ‘You will.’
Shade produces a duffle bag, and I’m so busy watching him that I don’t keep my eyes on Mav. Before I realize what’s happening, my wrists are tied together with a long piece of soft, black rope.
‘W-what are you doing?’ I gasp, pulling against it as my hands are anchored to the headboard by the guy who was sleeping peacefully next to me not long ago.
‘Making sure you stay put,’ Mav grunts.
Now that I’m stuck on the bed, Blake grabs one of my feet. I try to pull it out of his grasp, but he just laughs and kisses the arch before pulling my leg up and bending my knee. Another rope secures it high, and Mav does the same thing on the other side. I struggle, feeling like my body is on display as Shade stands between my spread knees at the end of the bed and stares down at me, his expression stony.
He's fully clothed I realize. They all are. I swallow hard as Mav and Blake finish their knots and they come to stand next to Shade. All three stare down at my body all trussed up for their use.
A part of me is horrified, but another revels in their attention.
‘Do you know why you’re here like this?’
‘Because I lied to you.’
‘More than once,’ he growls.
‘B-but you lied to me too,’ I say, trying to make him see sense, even as my blood is beginning to heat. ‘You didn’t tell me what your dad did to make his fortune. You didn’t tell me about Sauvage.’
Shade’s lips thin and he cuts a glance to Mav, who looks unrepentant. ‘This isn’t about me. It’s about you.’
‘Fine,’ I mutter. ‘But then whatever you do to me, I’ll do back to you for lying tome.’
He looks amused. ‘I can live with that.’
Eyes lowering to my core and not moving again, he holds out his hand to Blake who takes something from the bag, handing it to Shade like he’s a nurse in a bizarre surgical procedure. Shade tries to hide it from me, but I recognize it immediately as the suction vibe that Blake used on me the other day.
I relax a little, knowing more about what’s coming now. I hear him turn it on and it begins to make a noise, increasing incrementally until it’s quite loud.
‘Ready?’
