“Okay, I guess I owe Nyx fifty bucks.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I insisted the last thing you’d want to do was add training to your babysitting duties.”
“So Nyx told you to do what?”
“She said part of my training was to learn to play mind games. Well, Devani said that part. And they wanted me to try it on you. She said the second I mentioned her brother that you’d jump in and take over my training. I insisted you weren’t that gullible, but it looks as if she was right again.”
I scowled at her. “Are you for real right now?”
“You walked into that one, dumbass.” Theo started laughing. “From the moment we left the Drakos estate, I knew there was no getting out of training her.”
“If you’re so smart, why didn’t you say something?”
“Because it’s fun watching you get all pissy.”

Maybe this wasn’t such a great idea.
Those thoughts ran through my head on a continuous loop as I approached the training room used by all Angelos soldiers for their drills. In the past, I never questioned coming down here. I’d work out and then go about my day. After the coup, things changed. I used the gym in the house and rarely left the house, except during my runs.
Typing in the access code, I pulled open the doors and abruptly stopped.
Holy fuck. Yep, this was most definitely a bad idea.
Theo and Xander stretched at different corners of the room. They rolled their arms and flexed and shifted side to side as if they prepared to engage in some no-holds-barred combat session instead of a self-defense class for me.
Neither wore a shirt, making it obvious how the past few years had honed them from fit boys into toned, lethal men.
As a teen, I’d wanted them with a fierceness of first love and newly discovered passion. Then, everything was new, exciting, and an exploration of desires.
Their passion for each other had aroused me in a way I couldn’t describe, and then when they turned it on me, the intensity, the overwhelming nature of it, sent me to places I couldn’t have imagined possible.
Now I longed for two completely untouchable people. They represented what I lost, what I wanted, and what remained out of reach.
Logic screamed at me to suppress my desires, that I belonged to another man, even if I hated that man’s guts. But my body craved, needed, cried for a touch, a taste, a moment of what it would be just to feel like a woman again.
No matter how much I wished it, the pulsing between my legs never stopped whenever I was around Theo and Xander. The draw they held over me had never waned, even when I wanted to desperately hate them for abandoning me.
Now they’d touch me for the sole purpose of training. An evil torture to remind me of every damn thing I’d lost.
As if sensing my presence, Xander and Theo turned in unison, catching me in their sights. A hum of energy surged among the three of us. My nipples tightened, and my pussy grew slick and wet.
What the hell was I doing?
I released a deep breath, pushing down my arousal, and focused on the end goal.
To leave all of this behind and never look back.
I jumped as the clock on the wall chimed nine, snapping me into motion for my lesson.
I approached Theo, who’d moved onto the padded mat in the center of the room.
