“Please don’t stop. I’m so close.” Taryn writhed and moaned as I plunged my fingers deep inside, continuing to rub her clit with my thumb simultaneously.

Suddenly, Taryn tightened around my fingers, and I felt her body tense as her release spread over my hand. “Fuck, yes, give Mr. Rowan all of it,” I growled.

Taryn shuddered as tiny tremors shook her body.

I pulled my fingers free, then hauled her in my lap even as I shoved her pants off. “I’m not finished with you yet.” I positioned her over my lap, then pulled her down onto my pulsing cock. “I’m going to fill that pussy up.”

Taryn’s head dropped back, and she moaned as I thrust into her desperately. “You’re so tight.” I clutched her waist and pulled her as hard as I could to meet each thrust of my hips.

“Harder, Mr. Rowan.” Taryn whimpered, grinding her pussy on me. “I’m going to cum again.”

I picked up the pace, slipped my hand in between us, and lightly squeezed her clit between my thumb and finger. “That’s it, Menace, give it all to me.”

She groaned, dropping her head back as the pleasure rushed over her. “Lucas, oh my god!”

It was an indescribable feeling to be the one with her, rather than the one waiting, always feeling like an outsider. It was about damn time, and I only had myself to blame for that… and maybe the stubborn woman grinding on my cock.

With a drawn-out moan, Taryn dropped her head, our ragged breathing filling the air as sweat slicked our skin.

I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her head down onto my shoulder, holding her as close as I could as we both recovered from the best sex of my life.

My past relationships with women were purely physical, devoid of any deep emotional connection. With Taryn, it was different. Her exquisite beauty, coupled with her intelligence and her tendency to dive headfirst into terrifying situations, meant I couldn't remain indifferent.

I was obsessed.

Taryn tilted her head to nuzzle my neck. “Damn, Mr. Rowan, I can’t wait to see what you do to me when I cheat on a test.”

I laughed and kissed the top of her head. “Menace.”

The storm had weakened, but a light rain was still falling.

I moved my fingers slowly through her hair, and neither of us spoke for a long time.

“Any regrets?” Taryn whispered, just when I thought she’d fallen asleep.

“Only that I waited so long to make you mine.” I pulled her head back and kissed her gently on her lush lips. “I love you, my sweet girl.”

Her face softened with a look so tender that I felt my chest tighten. “I love you too.” She snuggled back into my chest. “I wonder how Beck and Adrian will take this recent development.”

I kissed the top of her head and rearranged us so we’d be more comfortable. “Probably not well, when you tell them I’m better in bed than either of them.”

I smirked as I felt her laughing. “All of you are equal in that department.”

“That almost sounded believable.” It was my turn to laugh.

“Well, shit, I’ll have to work on that.” I felt her grin against my chest.

“You do that, Menace. But we’ll both know the truth. Now get some sleep.” I tucked her in tighter. “I want you fully recovered from the blood draw by tomorrow.”

Already drifting into slumber, she muttered something unintelligible.

I hadn’t been on board with Adrian’s idea when he sprung it on me. Three men sharing one woman sounded ludicrous, but now I got it.

Taryn’s safety was all I cared about, and it made me feel better knowing two other men would protect her with their lives.
