“She’s complicated and obnoxious, and she’ll make you completely insane,” Daniel explained. “And we’ll never get bored. We had a good six months of pretending to be in charge of this relationship. Well, the boss is back.”
Dev laughed and finally kissed me. “I have missed her.”
I pushed myself up against his lips, so happy to have them pressed to mine. They could complain about me all they liked as long as they kept me. I needed them so much.
“I really missed you, Z,” Daniel said with a sarcastic sigh. “I can’t tell you how happy I was you finally broke out of your funk. It’s been damn hard being the only guy in this relationship.”
“Danny,” I scolded him because the last thing Dev needed was that kind of teasing. He really could be sensitive about it.
“Oh, no, Daniel. I disagree.” Dev’s eyes took in the fact that I was only wearing a towel. “I don’t think anyone could look at those tits of hers and think boy. If being properly organized and giving a crap about the way I present myself to the world makes me feminine in your eyes, then so be it. But let me assure you, if I’m female, I’ll be coming out of the closet because I’m definitely a lesbian.”
Dev reached out and suddenly I was no longer wearing that towel. Cool air caressed my skin, but I was heating up because of the way they were both staring. He tossed the towel aside and took a moment to let his eyes roam my body. “I believe we had an arrangement before, lover. Do you remember it? I was more than willing to concede the reins of our relationship to you as long as I maintained a certain level of dominance in one very specific place.”
Dev liked to be in control in the bedroom. He liked to play certain games, and we hadn’t done anything like that since bringing my husband into the relationship. I have to admit everything female in me tightened at the thought of Dev taking control again. Sex had been good the last six months, but Dev had allowed Daniel and me to explore what we were willing to do together. The boundaries had yet to really be pushed. As I gazed into those green eyes, I realized he was done with going with the flow.
Dev was going to take charge.
Dev stood up and before I could protest, I was in his arms. He tossed me on the bed. I tried to scramble up but found myself tangled in green vines that shot out from the walls to hold my arms. Another pair of snaking vines appeared at the end of the bed, wrapping themselves around my ankles. The lush ivy held me tight, and I couldn’t stop the startled cry that sprang from my lips as I was spread in a wanton fashion across the bed.
“Now, my goddess,” Dev drawled as he and Daniel looked down at my body. Dev’s eyes were hot, and there was no mistaking the erection he sported. “You were a bad girl today. You caused an enormous amount of trouble. Did you think you could get away with it? It’s time to discuss your punishment.”
Chapter Ten
“God, she looks hot.” An expectant grin lit Daniel’s face as he stared down at me.
“She does indeed.” Dev watched me struggle against the bonds. They caused me absolutely no pain but held me tightly. I wouldn’t be going anywhere. My skin was already getting hot under the boys’ scrutiny.
My arms were held over my head. Cool green ivy rolled over my skin, gently forcing my hands toward the headboard of our enormous bed. Vines had sprouted from somewhere under the bed and wrapped themselves around my ankles, spreading my legs wide.
“I’ve always liked this room.” Daniel winked down at me. “Now I know why.”
I knew why. Because we shared it. Because it was ours. All of ours. The last seven months had been the best of my life in some ways. In others ways it had been difficult, but I knew now that I wouldn’t have really walked out the door. I couldn’t have. I loved these men. I would fight for myself, but I didn’t think I could leave them for any reason.
From my right side, a marigold snaked its way across the bed. It was gold and yellow, the bloom as big as my palm. Dev’s control had grown over the last year. Since that night in Vegas, his control of his magic had grown in leaps and bounds. The marigold was from the front hall. Dev had drawn it in, pulling the flower from the pots that lined the entryway. Soft petals caressed my skin. Dev flicked his hand and the marigold brushed across my breast.
“We should talk about the new protocols,” Dev said. The silk from the bloom trailed to my other breast, lighting up my skin. Already I could feel Dev’s magic beginning to flow like a warm wave of lust.
My pussy was getting wet and he wanted to talk security protocols? Maybe we weren’t done fighting yet. “If you think you can get me hot and bothered enough that I’ll agree to anything you say, you’re probably right, Mr. Sex God.”
A sexy smile curled his lips up, and he reached out to tweak my nipple. After the softness of the bloom, his fingers were a little flare of sensation that went straight to my pussy and had me gasping. “I’m glad that you admit how good it can be, but I wasn’t going to force you to agree to anything.”
Daniel’s eyes were watching the marigold as it started down my torso. “He’s smart enough to know that after the sex you would start yelling. Well, I’m smart enough to know it and he’s decided to listen to me. Are you going to set that thing on her pussy?”
Dev’s hand moved again, and he proved that he could turn a perfectly innocent flower into a sex toy. The bloom skimmed against the tenderest part of my flesh, making me squirm. “I’m going to tease her with it. We’re both going to make sure she can’t wait a second longer to have a cock inside her. I think I would like to hear her beg, but first we should get a few things straight. I don’t like Lee.”
Damn it. That little flower was tapping on my clit. “I do like Lee. I’m not getting rid of Lee.”
Daniel got to his knees next to me with a little laugh. “This should be a fun business meeting. Dev, I’m going to make a royal decree. All of our business should be done while Z here is naked and fornicating with plants.”
He leaned over and his deeply talented tongue licked at my nipple.
I groaned as he sucked it inside. “I’m still not giving up Lee.”
“I’m not asking you to, but I am asking that you tell me where you’re going and you let him do his job. Halfer is out there.” Dev sat down on the bed. “Everything we’ve done has been because we’re worried about you.”
“I love you both. I’m sorry about today, but I can’t live like this. I’ll keep Lee with me whenever I leave the building. I promise.”
Dev pouted a little, his gorgeous face staring down at mine. “I’m going to miss giving you your daily schedule. I like knowing where you are. I like scheduling your appointments.”
Because it made him feel useful. It made him feel important. I knew he liked handling all of the same things for Daniel as well. We’d formed an odd little family, and I could see now that Dev was trying to make a solid place for himself in it.
“You can still make my appointments for all the social stuff, but you two have to let me have a life outside all the politics. I’m not good at them. It’s making me miserable.” I hated the whole “be quiet and look pretty” crap I had to go through whenever Danny and Dev had their meetings.
The marigold slid up my torso and seemed to give me a little kiss on the lips before it zipped away, likely back to its place in the foyer. Dev replaced the blossom with his fingertips. As he stood, he slid his fingers down my body until he reached the juncture of my widespread legs. He ran a single finger through my pussy, testing it. I sighed against the light pressure, wanting so much more. My faery prince smiled down at me, obviously satisfied I was already responding. I gasped a little as he pressed in, spreading my labia and lightly delving inside. He drew the saturated finger directly into his mouth and sucked the cream off. Daniel gave my nipple a final tweak and stood. There was a large tent in those sweats of his.
“I have never had a lover get so fucking wet so fast. It’s intoxicating,” Dev commented, shaking his head.
My vampire smiled. “I spent most of my youth with my face in her pussy, so I have to agree with you. It’s my happy place.”
“I’m sorry, sweetheart,” Dev said as though suddenly noticing I was writhing on the bed. He gave me a slow, sexy grin. “Was there something you needed, my mistress?”
I held my head up so I could look at them. “You know what I want, Dev.”
He sighed. It was the sound of true contentment, and I knew he meant business. If I had busted out of my funk today then Dev was right behind me. “I know exactly what you want. I know what he wants, too. I also know it will be a while before either one of you gets it.”
“What does that mean?” Daniel was used to getting straight to the fun.
Cupping my breast, Dev sat on the edge of the bed. I was truly trapped, a toy bound for their pleasure. Yeah, it did something for me. It did a lot for me. I might prefer to be in charge when it came to work, but it had been so long since Dev had truly taken charge of me in the bedroom. I’d forgotten how much I needed it, how much I could let go and enjoy when they took the lead. Dev played lightly with my nipples, allowing the tips of his fingers to dance softly across the peaks. They hardened again and I tried to press up, needing a much firmer touch. I would have preferred his mouth there, but I was going to have to take what I could get.
