“Well, yes. But I wasn’t trying to go behind your back. I just didn’t want to stress you out about anything else.”
“Luca, I get money is no big deal to you, and I really appreciate that you did that. But you can’t just throw that kindof money around without talking to us about it first. That wasn’t your call to make.”
“I know. I’m sorry Brooks. If it makes it easier for you, you can think of it as payment for this job.”
That was not the right answer. “You already paid both of us. The money hit our account this morning.”
Fuck. “A bonus?”
That had Brooks laughing. “Listen, I don’t fucking like that you did that. I know I’m asking for a D/s dynamic with you, but if you ever discussed my limits regarding that with me, you’d know I had many, many financial stipulations. You already are housing me, giving me food and a salary. I can’t have you paying for stuff like that. Especially when the amount you paid us was more than enough to cover the expenses.”
I opened my mouth but he held up a hand to stop me, “However, I can’t sit here and act like I’m not relieved. It was a huge fucking burden and it’s so good not to have to stress about it. It’s done. It’s not like you can get your money back.” Brooks leaned back into me, thank fuck. “I’m giving you a clean slate, Luc. All that shit, including this, that was past Luca. The one who screwed up, not the one who is promising to do better. I’m willing to leave this with the rest of the bull crap and move forward.”
I kissed the side of his head. “Thank you, trouble. I really don’t deserve you.”
He didn’t contradict me, just ran a finger along my arm with a soft expression on his face. “One thing though, you’re telling Diego, and I’m not saving you from him.”
Well, fuck.
CHAPTER 48
BROOKS
ONE MONTH LATER
I wasn’t paying attention,I’d admit that. I was too busy trying not to get hard while listening to a gay wolf shifter harem finally claim their omega mate, while also hanging up Luca’s suits I just picked up from the dry cleaners, to hear them enter the room. Wasn’t my fault! My man’s had four sexy alpha’s in rut taking him. How the fuck was I supposed to concentrate on what was happening in the real world?
A big hand covered my mouth and pushed me against his hard chest, something cold and sharp pressed against my collar bone. My hand automatically reached for my knife, when another man stepped out, grabbing my wrist.
“I don’t think so, bunny. You’re going to be a good boy for us, right? Not cause anytrouble?”
I melted into the hold that I was now sure was Maverick. Luca stood before me, wearing all black, including a black balaclava over his face, but it didn’t stop the fact that I knew these men deep within my bones.
Maverick removed his hand so I could answer. He was smart enough to keep it far enough away so I wouldn’t bite it.
“It depends, what do you want with me?”
The metal of the blade Maverick was holding dug into my flesh, just enough to draw a drop of blood. I shivered, my body going on full alert. We hadn’t had much time to do knife play in the past month since we’ve been home, but Mav and I spent a lot of time talking about it and what I wanted to try, so I was fucking thrilled when I felt that bite into my skin.
Mav removed one of my ear buds before his hand moved down to my neck, his fingers circling it before tilting my head up. He leaned down enough so he was in my ear. “Everything.”
I barely had the time to process those words before I was being pushed roughly to my knees. I tried to fight back, but never had the chance because then Luca had my face pushed into the floor, holding my hair painfully while Mav cuffed my hands behind my back.
“Get the fuck off me asshole! Let me go!” He slapped my ass, hard.
“Shut up before I fucking gag you.”
“I’d like to see you try, asshole!”
Luca tugged my head up, oww! That fucking hurt! I opened my mouth to say just that, and then three of his fingers were being shoved so far down my throat that I gagged.
“There, perfect.” He grinned at me. But he wasn’t grinning when I bit down on his fucking fingers.
“Fuck!” He pulled them out and slapped me across the face hard enough that I had tears in my eyes.
I was trying so hard not to smile and to stay in the scene, but we hadn’t played like this since the primal play in Finland, that I was fucking thrilled. I loved the more structured scenes we had been trying while all of us built our relationship and figured out our dynamic, but this…this was what I lived for.
“Here, this should work for now.” Maverick said, holding up a sock I hadn’t managed to pair yet, before shoving it into my mouth. At least it was clean.
