“Kitten—”
“No, Eli.” I hold up my hand to stop him from interrupting me. “The answer to your question is hell no. Yes, we may get information, but there’s no guarantee it would be correct. The only thing it will do is drive a wedge between you and me. I don’t want to watch you with another girl. Period. Full stop.”
Eli doesn’t look angry, but I can see him trying to figure out how to solve this problem since the easy way through is gone.
“It can’t happen. It won’t.” I straighten. “Find another way to get info or another way to help her, but it’s not going to be you and definitely not me.”
His dark eyes find mine. He runs his hand through his hair. “You’re right. She would do everything she could to drive us apart. But she’s also the inside source we need.”
“We don’t need her that badly.” I glance at my locked door. Mom knows I’m on with the guys, but I doubt she’ll come in again. “We’ll find another way.”
Eli releases a breath. “Yeah, we’ll figure out something else.”
Okay, this is the hard part. He asked for this for a reason. Otherwise, he might not have brought it up except in passing. Maybe it was a test and I passed. Maybe he really does need something and he’s not getting it from me.
“Eli, if you need something I’m not giving you—” I swallow because I’m not sure I want to be caned. I get the whole pain and pleasure thing, but that just sounds painful. But I also think we can figure out how to give him what he needs. “Then you and I should sit down and have a longer talk about what you need. And how we can make sure your needs are met.”
“I have some needs, little nympho.” Caden’s smirk falls when I glare at him. “What did I do?”
“You two.” I point to Luke and Caden on the screen, but everyone just looks confused. Stupid webcam. I narrow my eyes. “Luke, Caden. I’m your girlfriend. The list of the people you had sex with isn’t supposed to be a game. You can make a list like normal people. Without me doing anything to you.”
“I’m already working on the list, princess.” Luke still looks cocky. He’s the one that brought up Sidney’s technique and then wanted to show me exactly how he took other girls. Ew, no.
“Suck up.” Caden rubs the back of his neck. He gives me a warm smile that makes my heart beat a little harder. “I just like fucking you, little nympho.”
“You all have a lot more experience than me. I get that.” I look up at the ceiling before meeting their gazes. “But seriously, I don’t want to hear about it, unless I specifically ask about it. Including Sidney’s talents.”
Making a face, I vaguely remember the show in her bedroom. It’s a little hazy because I was drunk, but yeah, I don’t want to think about them with other girls. At all.
“Jack,” I say and sigh. “Besides the comment on watching Eli with Ashley, you’ve been perfectly fine. Nico, you’ve actually been helpful and not a prick. You win the best boyfriend award.”
Nico grins and his chest puffs up. “What’s my prize, sunshine?”
I tap my finger against my lip as I consider what would be a good prize.
“There’s a prize? As soon as my parents come home, I’m willing to make sure I get best boyfriend.” Caden wets his lips and leans back in his chair. Fuck, my pussy aches thinking about his mouth on me. “I demand a recount.”
“He still wins.” I narrow my eyes on Caden. Though if this was a competition, Caden would have won other times. Still... “I don’t want you to show me how you had sex with other women. That’s not normal for any girl to want. I would hope that if you want to keep me, you want us to be more than just sex. That you respect me enough that when we’re together, you’ll only think of me.”
Caden smirks. “I only think of you, little nympho. Every inch of you.”
“Good.” I’m going to miss him tonight. Fuck, a prize? I’ve got nothing. “What do you want as a prize, Nico?”
“A night out.” Nico rocks back in his chair. “With all of us.”
I smile. He could have asked for anything for himself. “I like that.”
“How often are you going to award this best boyfriend award?” Caden leans forward. “And will the prize always be our choice?”
Five sets of curious eyes watch me. Fuck, I forgot how competitive they can be. But hell, this time it’s to my advantage. I could continue to be a piece of property, or they could learn to treat me as their girlfriend. And usually the rewards will be equally pleasant for me.
“Once a week. Sunday nights. And yes, the prize can be of your choosing, but within reason. I get veto power.” I lean back in my chair and watch them as they eye each other.
“Next weekend we can do our group date.” Nico smiles for a second, but then his smile slips. “That doesn’t really solve our problems though.”
“I’ve been mulling that over.” Eli rubs his chin. “Ashley wants someone who won’t treat her like she’ll break. I may know someone who would do it.”
“You think she’ll still give us information if you set her up with someone else?” Jack scoffs. “She wants you for a reason. And I’m betting Harper is right. She knows it would tear Harper apart to watch you with someone else.”
