“Hi. I’m sorry. I’m not dressed.”

“You look beautiful, Jessica. I noticed your keepers are occupied with the festivities this evening. I thought we could spend some time together.” He held his hands up. “No touching, sweetheart, not if you don’t want to. Everything is up to you at this point. I only want to talk to you. We can go into the lobby if you prefer.”

She smiled. This seemed like as good a time as any to experiment. “No, please come in. I’d like to talk.”

Jessica watched as he walked into her suite and knew it was time to find out if she could care about anyone but the two men she could never have.* * * *“You know it’s going to be hard to be in a relationship with Jessica if you intend to keep her out of the D/s scene.” Reid looked over the large conference hall. It had undergone a miraculous transformation. This afternoon it had been an elegant room; now it was a decadent dungeon. He’d made sure everything was perfect. All around him, scenes were being performed. He would love to walk Jessica through. She would get hot and bothered watching the play. When she couldn’t stand it anymore, he would flip up her skirt and give her the fucking she needed. It had been so hard to walk out of her room. He’d been patient, but it was wearing thin. Tomorrow night couldn’t come quickly enough.

Tomorrow night would make them or break them. She would understand or she would walk away.

Gideon slipped his arm around his waist, leaning in so he could be heard over the throbbing dance beat. “When she safely has a collar on, I’ll be more than proud to take her into any dungeon you like. Until then, it’s not safe. I don’t like her being here at all. That architect is too interested in her.”

Reid bit back a laugh. His partner was entirely too jealous. It was something he’d gotten used to over the years. Gideon was intensely possessive. Erik, the architect, should be glad Gideon was on his best behavior or he’d find himself on his ass for even looking at their girl. “It’s not a bad thing. She thinks no one wants her.”

Gideon threw his hands up in apparent frustration. “I’ve made it plain I want her. We intend to tell her we want a threesome with her tomorrow. We’re going to have our whole lives to show her how gorgeous she is. I’m not letting a bunch of would-be Doms paw her so she feels better about herself. You can’t expect me to do that.”

“I’m simply telling you how she feels.”

“I don’t get it.” A frown marred Gideon’s masculine face. “Does she not look in the mirror? I get an erection every time she walks in the room. What else do I have to do?”

Reid rolled his eyes. “You do not understand women at all, do you? It’s all right. She doesn’t have a clue when it comes to men. Luckily, you both have me.”

Gideon’s smile was wide. “Yes, you’re the expert.”

“Well, I’m certainly the expert on you and Jessica. I admit that despite all evidence to the contrary, I haven’t had a ton of lovers.”

Gideon snorted. “You’ve had me. You’ve had me and a handful of girls we’ve shared over the years.”

Reid cuddled closer. He remembered the night they lost their virginity to each other. It had been messy and slightly painful, and they’d come a long way since then. His heart was filled with love for his man. “Like I said, I’ve chosen quality over quantity, but I know the two of you. We need to make her comfortable. If she believes we love her, she’ll come to us. She won’t let social pressures stop her. She’s full throttle. If she loves us, she won’t ever stop.”

Gideon nodded. His hand found Reid’s hair and stroked him. “She’s like someone else I know. I love you, Reid. I’ve spent a lot of time apologizing to Jessica, but I haven’t said the words to you.”

“You don’t have to.” He didn’t need them.

“Yes, I do. I’ve hidden you for years. I was going to marry a woman I didn’t love to hide the fact that we’re lovers so I could keep my asshole father happy with me. I thought I couldn’t have the career my father wanted me to have as a bisexual man. In the end, what Anna did freed me. I don’t have to worry about disappointing my father, because he’s completely cut me out of his life. I know who my family is. It’s you and Jessica. I promise, I won’t ever deny you again.” Gideon pulled him close and without regard for anyone watching, planted a long kiss on his lover’s lips. “And thank you for bringing her back to us.”
