Edison blinks at me and I can see her mind processing the words. She nods slowly as Coyle tucks her a little deeper into his side. She takes comfort from him, maybe, in a different context, it would make me jealous, but not right now.
“I’m not sure what to say to that, Jude,” her voice is soft. She nibbles on her lower lip for a moment and my cock takes notice.
Not the fucking time.
“I am glad you told me, but I don’t like lies. It’s like you’ve been living two lives.”
My hands fall over my knees, and I lean forward slightly while my eyes bore into hers. “I know. I have been, in a lot of ways. I’ve spent my days doing a job which really isn’t mine. Then at night, I’ve been doing the work my company requires, but it was worth it for me to be able to get to see you, get to talk to you, get to watch over you. I should apologize for it, but I’m not sorry I did those things.” Her mouth pops open, but I cut her off, “I am sorry I lied to you about it and presented myself as something I’m not. I promise you that everything I said to you was absolutely true. I never told you lies about the man I am.”
She makes a humming sound as she eyes me. The slight wariness in her gaze makes me want to kneel in front of her and do her bidding until she looks at me with sparkling eyes again. I glance at Coyle, and he gives me a look of pride, one that I find I need. When I glance at Killian, there’s still worry in his eyes, and I know why.
Double fuck.
Before either of us can say anything, Edison clears her throat, and all eyes snap to her. “I think we also need to address the other elephant in the room.”
Coyle kisses her temple and murmurs, “What elephant, pretty girl?”
Edison smiles up at him warmly before looking at Killian and then me. She points between us. “There’s something going on between you two. I’m not going to assume to know how far it’s gone, but there’s definitely something there.”
My eyebrows shoot up to my hairline and Killian’s mouth falls open. Well, fucking okay then.
Coyle barks out a laugh. “She’s got your number,” his voice is full of amusement, not censure.
Killian looks at her intently and asks the most important question there is now, since she brought it up. “Do you have a problem with that, little one?”
Edison squirms slightly and her cheeks pink. I can’t help the devilish grin that grows on my face at her reaction. She might not even be aware she’s doing it, but I am. I very much am.
So fucking sexy.
“No,” she squeaks before she clears her throat, “I don’t have a problem with it. I think,” she glances between us again, her eyes darkening, “it would be hot to watch.”
Killian stands up and prowls closer to her and she’s not the only one who takes notice of the languid movements of his body. It’s hot as fuck and my cock is doing much more than take notice now. He plops down on the couch next to her and leans closer, his lips almost touching hers.
“You will always be the center, Edison. I want you to know that and never doubt it. If there is ever a time when you do, please,” he begs, “talk to us about it instead of letting that feeling fester and turn something beautiful between the three of us into something rotten. Can you do that?”
“Y-yes,” she trips over the word and it’s fucking adorable.
Killian purrs, “You want to watch, huh?” She nods mutely, her eyes big and wild. “You could be filled by my brother’s cock and watch us, how does that sound?”
Edison moans and squirms again. I can’t help but chuckle, a low, dark sound which snaps her attention to me.
There’s something raw in her eyes as she looks at me and it has me sitting up straighter. “Is that the whole truth? Is there anything else?” She swings her gaze around at Killian and Coyle as well, asking all of us.
This is it; I can feel it. This is the moment that we get to keep her forever or the moment where we fuck it all up, as if we haven’t had plenty of practice doing that already.
“That’s the whole truth, little mouse. As much as I’d love to stay at the job at the university, and I probably will stay on until the end of the semester because it’s the right thing to do, I need to refocus on my business. I might still come to the library and stalk you though,” I tease her and wink.
She rolls her eyes and sasses, “You wouldn’t be the only one.”
Her eyes slide to Killian, and I bark out a laugh. Killian reaches out and runs the backs of his knuckles along her cheek.
“No more secrets, little one. I promise, but I’m also reserving the right to keep an eye on you from time to time.” She rolls her eyes, but he leans in, his voice a challenge, “You like it.”
Coyle promises, “It’s all out there now, Edison.” She turns and looks up at him. “Will you accept us? Will you give this a shot? A real one?”
She looks at each of us and takes a deep breath which feels like it lasts a lifetime. “Yes,” her smile is wide as she answers, “you all might be a little off your rocker, but I love it. I love the way I feel cherished when I’m around you. I want this.”
My heart is beating even harder than it was when I had to confess all my sins. This is so much more, so much better. I feel like I could conquer, pillage and plunder.
