Mindlessly, I rocked back against Joseph while I sucked Marco’s cock. My inner muscles squeezed Joseph, and my scream vibrated down Marco’s length. My ecstasy triggered theirs. Marco pressed deep into my throat, and I swallowed. His cum released into my mouth, just before Joseph’s seed lashed into my pussy. I was marked, taken, owned.
The knowledge kept me riding high, and I floated on bliss as Joseph continued to drive into me, riding out the last of his orgasm.
Marco pulled out of my mouth, and I collapsed onto the mattress, gasping for breath. My sensitive breasts came into contact with the smooth sheets, and I whimpered. I couldn’t manage to move my weight off them, so I simply trembled and rode out the pleasure that was coursing through me.
“Poor little princess,” Marco cooed, smoothing my hair back from my cheek. “Let’s get you out of Joseph’s ropes.”
He left me for a moment to get something from the kit bag. When he returned, he held a pair of blunt-tipped shears. He cut through the rope and uncoiled it from my body. Joseph pulled out of me and gently removed the plug. He went to the bathroom, and I heard running water before he returned a minute later.
Marco put the shears away, and Joseph rolled me onto my back. He stared down at me with awe, and he trailed his fingers along the little braided indentations the rope had left in my skin.
“So beautiful,” he breathed.
“Yes,” Marco agreed, joining us on the bed again.
They held me between their hard bodies, cuddling me close. I smiled and closed my eyes, sinking into bliss as they petted and praised me.
Chapter Nineteen
Ashlyn
Two Weeks Later
“I don’t like this,” Marco said, his face tight with worry. “We shouldn’t take her off the estate.”
In the last few weeks, Marco and Joseph had grown impossibly more possessive and protective. Now, Joseph’s father insisted I come into the city to have dinner with their family. The three of us were about to leave our safe haven, and I couldn’t deny that I was a little nervous. After all, our last foray into public had ended with me being threatened by their enemies.
“She’ll be safe at my family’s restaurant,” Joseph countered, but his eyes were clouded with worry as well. “No one would dare to touch her there.”
“I know that,” Marco replied. “It’s what could happen on the way there and back that worries me.”
“I can’t put Dad off any longer,” Joseph sighed. “He’s been asking to meet Ashlyn for weeks. If we don’t do this now, he might put his foot down and make me come back home. He’s been letting me stay here with her at your family’s estate. He’s been letting me shirk my responsibilities. I don’t want that to change.”
“It’s okay,” I interjected. I didn’t want Joseph to have to go back to his responsibilities. If being with me was giving him a valid excuse to stay away from his violent business, I didn’t want to test his father. He might love Joseph, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t force him into doing things that went against his true nature.
“We can go,” I continued. “It’s just dinner. I know you’ll both keep me safe. I won’t leave your sight.”
It would simply be a matter of driving to the restaurant and then driving right back to the estate after dinner. There would be a brief window where I’d be on the street, moving inside from the car, but I had to trust that Joseph and Marco would protect me. They wouldn’t let anyone come near me.
Marco’s jaw ticked. “I still don’t like it.”
I wrapped my arms around him, letting him feel that I was safe with him. “Please, let’s just go. I don’t want Joseph to have to leave and stay with his family in the city. I need both of you here with me.”
It was true. I needed both of them, and not just for protection. I’d become addicted to them, obsessed. They held me and cared for me and cherished me. I felt pampered and loved.
Loved.
I was falling in love with them. Both of them. I’d been ready to say it to Joseph weeks ago, but I’d held back once Marco joined our relationship. I knew it would hurt him if I declared my feelings for Joseph but not him.
I was swiftly coming to realize that I felt the same deep affection for both of them. It was unconventional, but that didn’t make it any less true.
But now wasn’t the time to say it. I’d tell them when we got back to the estate tonight. Everyone was tense, and this wasn’t the moment to fall into their arms and confess my feelings.
I tucked my face against Marco’s chest. “Please? Let’s just go. I know you’ll keep me safe.”
He stroked my back. “Always, babygirl.” He sighed. “I don’t want Joseph to have to leave us, either. We can go to dinner.”
“Thank you.” I went up on my tiptoes and kissed him.
