“No, but you’ll need stamina to be with the three of us.”
What did he mean . . . oh shit. She went hot at the implication. “By stamina you mean . . .”
“Sex.” Wolfe raised his face. “I must say that I’ve never been that interested. And if the urge ever came over me, I’d just use my hand. But when it comes to you . . . well, I seem to have a lot of pent-up need. But there are three of us to satisfy. For that you’ll need stamina.”
She had nothing. Nothing at all.
Aleki’s eyes widened as he stared at her. “Uh-oh, Wolfe, man, I think you’re going a bit fast. You might have broken her.”
Wolfe waved a hand in front of her face. “You might be right.”
“Jelly bean, Wolfe is getting ahead of himself,” Caleb said soothingly. “Remember, nothing happens that you don’t want to happen. You’re still recovering. And we’re all getting to know each other. We have time for sex to happen when it feels right.”
“Well, we have twenty-one days,” Wolfe said.
“What else you got in that notebook, man?” Aleki asked Wolfe.
“Hmm? Oh, well, I’m writing out a diet too. Exercise plan once she’s better. I’ll create a sleep schedule, including naps. And then playtime for her Little. We’ll need to set up a playroom, yes? What do you think your Little would like to play with?”
“I . . . I don’t even know if I have a Little side.”
“Don’t you?” Wolfe countered calmly without looking at her. “You know that I can’t stand lies, even when you are lying to yourself.”
“This is all fast, Wolfe. Give me a break, huh?” she said tiredly.
Wolfe’s face shot up and he studied her intently. Something he saw seemed to make him back down. He gave her a nod and Caleb placed a hand around the back of her neck, rubbing away the tension.
“You’re all stiff, jelly bean. I’ll give you a rub down later. Before your nap.”
She glared up at the amusement in Caleb’s voice. She knew he was trying to lighten things up. But he didn’t need to encourage Wolfe.
“You are not helping,” she told him.
He slid up the armrest between them and drew her close, wrapping his arm around her shoulder.
Oh God.
That felt so good.
“When it comes to you, jelly bean, I think you’ll find we’re all on the same page. Wolfe might be more blunt and sometimes he bulldozes ahead, but the three of us just want what’s best for you. Including building up your health. And not just for sex.”
“Although that’s definitely part of it.” Aleki wiggled his eyebrows up and down.
She rolled her eyes at him.
“I also have a schedule for multivitamins, protein drinks, and your pain medication,” Wolfe added.
“I don’t have vitamins and protein drinks.”
“You do now,” Wolfe countered. He raised his head. “We should add water intake to that as well.”
“Oh God. Next you’ll be wanting to know how often I pee.”
“Yes, I nearly forgot about that.”
“Wolfe, I was joking,” she said desperately.
“I wasn’t.”
