He shrugged and frowned with a sour expression.“Who knows?I never got a chance to test that theory.After the wedding, she changed…like overnight.There were two sides of Paige.She had a loving, carefree, playful side and a vindictive, hateful, and manipulative side.Unfortunately, I didn’t discover the latter untilafterthe wedding.Dylan was the only one who saw through her façade.He’d tried to warn me that she was only interested in my money and climbing the social ladder.Instead of listening to him, I got pissed and accused him of trying to sabotage my happiness because she wasn’t a woman we could share.I almost lost him over her.I’ve spent a lot of time kicking my own ass because of it.”
“But you thought you were in love.”I reached out and squeezed his leg, leaving a wet handprint on his jeans.
“No, I was in love with the idea of being in love.I knew in the back of my mind I was making a mistake as I stood before the minister.But my own stubborn pride kept me from turning on my heel and walking out of the church doors.The marriage was destined to fail before it began.We’ve been divorced two years, yet she’s still trying to drag me back to court, contesting the prenuptial agreement.”
“Can she do that?”
“She can try, but she’ll fail.My lawyer has a box filled with proof that she’d been fucking other men since we got back from our honeymoon.I didn’t know it at the time, but her prized Bentley was a gift from one of her rich fuck buddies, an old man she kept on the side because he gave her credit cards to buy whatever she wanted.”
“Why did she even bother marrying you in the first place?”I asked in disgust.
“I asked her that, once.She told me it was something she hadn’t tried yet.”
“Wow.”I was speechless.What kind of heartless bitch did that to a guy?I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that she’d used him.My blood began to boil.I wanted to find that nasty snatch and bitch slap her into next week.“I’m so sorry you had to go through that, Sir.”
“It taught me an important lesson; guard my heart and never get married again.”
Paige had damaged Nick so deeply that his entire outlook on relationships had been tainted.She’d stripped him of the hope of ever finding his happy-ever-after.And somehow, I knew if Paige ever discovered how deeply she’d crushed him, she’d take great joy in that fact.Women like her gave our gender a bad reputation.
“Do you have any other questions, pet?”Nick asked with a solemn expression.
“No, Sir.Thank you for your honesty,” I whispered, wishing I could take his pain away.
“It’s part of the exchange, Savannah.You’ve lowered your walls so impressively, I’m glad I’ve had the chance to do the same.”A broad smile spread over his lips and his eyes sparkled with pride.The joy I’d brought to him sent a rush of warmth through my body.
“You can relax a bit longer if you’d like, pet, then come on out and join us.Dylan is building a fire.We want to keep you warm.Very, very warm.”An evil smile tugged the corner of his mouth as he reached down and plucked a nipple.
“Warm?You two keep me hotter than a raging inferno.”
“Then we’re doing our job, little one.”Nick stood and walked out of the room, chuckling as he left.
The emotional torture Paige had put him through made my heart ache.And the fact that the evil bitch was still making his life a living hell had me seething with rage.I’d never wanted to hire a hit man like I did then.
Naked and cold, I padded back to the large common area where I was met with two hungry smiles and a blazing fire—not only in the fireplace, but in my veins.Amazed by their ability to ignite my desires with just a look, I darted a nervous gaze between them.
“You’re scaring me, Sirs,” I giggled as I eased between their warm bodies and sat on the couch.
“Your fears are unfounded, kitten,” Dylan winked.
“Thank heavens,” I sighed in gratitude.
“We’ll remind you that you said that.”Nick grinned.
“Remind me?When, Sir?”
“Don’t look at me like that.”Nick laughed.“We’ll make certain you feel no pain.”
“No pain with what, Sir?”I gulped.
“You’ll find out later.”
Nick’s cryptic reply sent my heart racing.Obviously, they had something planned that had the potential to include pain.My mind filled with possibilities, none of which brought me an iota of comfort.
“Nick tells me you two had a nice talk in the bathroom.Is there anything you want to know about me?”Dylan offered.
Oh, they were smooth as silk.Nick dropped a bomb that ratcheted my fears off the damn charts, and Dylan swooped in to dust the shrapnel away by changing the subject.And silly me, I let them keep me on my toes like a ballerina in a performance ofLet’s Mind Fuck the Submissive.I liked it better not knowing when I was going to be blindsided versus waiting, wondering, and worrying what they planned next.
“Still reinforcing my trust, right, Sirs?”I asked with a knowing smile.
