As the floor moves back and forward, my core starts to rub against Maddox’s firm abs. Even through my jeans and his T-shirt, I can feel the pressure there, making me suck in a sharp breath when Maddox stumbles a little to the side.

When we step off onto solid ground, Maddox’s now free hand finds its way to my ass, his fingers digging in and making me try to hold back a moan.

“Hold on a little more, sweetheart, and I’ll take care of you.” My core clenches at his words. When he says “take care of me,” does he mean protecting me, helping me through this fun house, or… taking care of the need growing between my legs?

I really hope it’s the latter.

As we step up into a doorway, he turns us sideways so I can look ahead. It appears we’re entering a hall of mirrors. Chase appears in the mirror and I smile.

“Chase!” I say with a smile as he duplicates in front of me, and I try to figure out which one is the real him.

Suddenly, his hand is on my cheek, and he gives me a quick peck. “All clear,” he says, his eyes moving to Maddox’s as he nods.

All clear for what?

Then he turns and moves quickly back inside. Gage skates around us, giving me a wink, then disappears inside too. Maddox sets me on my feet, strokes my hair back, and then uses his other hand to tilt my chin up toward him.

“We’re going to play a game.”

My pulse quickens with excitement. “What sort of game?” I ask before biting my lip.

“You’re going to go in there,” he says, gesturing into the hall of mirrors where Gage and Chase just disappeared into. “And I’m going to come find you.”

I tilt my head as I ask. “But what’s the game?”

“You have to try not to get caught.”

I try not to laugh as I ask, “But what if I want you to catch me?”

He tries not to smile as he nods slowly. “Okay, how about this? If you make it three minutes without being caught, I’ll make you come on my cock.”

My eyes widen in shock. “In here?”

He nods. “Gage and Chase are making sure nobody comes in through the exit, and Hunter and Bain will guard this entrance. Nobody will bother us in there.”

“And what if you catch me before the three minutes are up?” I ask, curiously.

“Well, then I get to come, and you don’t.” My jaw drops open as I stare at him in surprise, making him laugh. “Okay, I see I have you properly motivated now.” He grabs my shoulders and turns me to face the entrance. “Your time starts now.”

A strange squeal escapes me as I instantly take off running, but quickly realize this isn’t a place you can run through. Instead, I hold out my hands in front of me, helping guide me to know which way is a mirror and which is an actual path.

After about a minute of moving, I start to notice the difference between mirrors and paths. You can see the bottom edge of mirrors, so, keeping my eyes down, I’m able to move through much quicker for the next minute.

I soon see Gage’s grinning face appear in a mirror, and I gasp, spinning to choose a different route. I’m not sure if Maddox is the only one hunting me in here, and I’m not willing to risk finding out.

My core is clenching with excitement. And to think Maddox might rut me right here, and not even let me come… I shake my head.

No, I won’t let that happen. I glance at my watch. Thirty seconds left.

“Cherry…” Maddox draws out my name from somewhere behind me, making me move faster. I start to double back over my tracks a few times, when I realize he’s probably following my scent.

“Ten seconds!” Gage says through the bond, literally making me jump in surprise from the sound.

Suddenly, Maddox appears in front of me, and a startled scream escapes me before I duck under his arm and turn down a different path. I hear his laughter follow me as he’s right on my heels now.

I risk a glance over my shoulder as I see him reaching out to grab me.

“No!” I cry, dropping low and making him stumble into me.
