“Don’t go,” I murmured, my head feeling light and strange.
“I’m not going anywhere. I’m just going to get some water for you and leave a note for Ivy. I’ll be right back.”
He kept his word and was back moments later and when I woke in the morning he was still there, wrapped around me, and Ivy was pressed against my back.
At that moment, I felt like I belonged, and that I deserved my taste of happiness.
Chapter 9
Ethan
Iwasinmyoffice trying to deal with a couple of emails that I couldn’t ignore when I heard a quiet knock.
“You don’t have to knock, Gray,” I called out, knowing it would be him because Ivy never knocked.
“Sorry, I didn’t want to interrupt.”
“You’re never interrupting. Are you okay?”
“Do you have time to chat?”
“Of course.”
He walked towards me, perching on the corner of my desk. I took him in and had to fight to control my cock springing to life. He always dressed casually, but it suited him and he looked so damn hot it was impossible not to be permanently hard around him.
“I need you to explain last night.”
I knew this was coming, but I wanted to give him time to think it through before we talked, so I’d left it up to him to mention it.
“I spanked your ass and made you come in the shower.”
“I know what happened, asshole. I want you to explain why I liked it so much. And why I feel so different today.”
“Explaindifferent?”
“Lighter. The noise in my head is silent. The scratch I feel under my skin all the time isn’t there.”
I turned my office chair to face him, sliding him along the desk so he was between my thighs. “I don’t know the exact reason, but being hit like that can help your brain switch off. You focus on the pain, so you don’t have time to think as much. I gave your mind time to rest, to let go of those worries and the feelings of self-loathing. You’re so scared of being deemed not worthy that you punish yourself constantly. I punished you in a different way and you enjoyed it. Your body didn’t know what to do, so it reveled in it. The same with the shower. You use it as a punishment. I helped you see that you can find a different type of release in there. I’m glad it helped.”
“Doesn’t it make me fucked up?” he questioned quietly.
I stood, running my finger along his jaw, tilting his head upward. “No. It makes you, you, Gray. Don’t overthink it or else I will do it again.”
I couldn’t help but notice his cock swelling.
Pulling his bottom lip between my teeth, I bit down until he moaned. “Your ass needs time to recover before I do it again, but shall we go and find Ivy so I can do the filthiest things to you both?”
“Will it involve my dick being inside one of you?”
“Of course.”
“Then lead the way, Ethan.”
Ivy
Itwasdarkoutside,and we lay on the rug in the living room, in front of the fire, legs, and arms tangled together, our bodies covered in sweat from the afternoon we’d spent together.
“I can’t believe I only have the weekend left here before I head back to London,” Grayson whispered as if he was afraid to say it. I knew this conversation was coming, but all of us had been avoiding it, not wanting to break the bubble we’d been happily living in for the last month.
