“Shut up,” I mumble.
Caelan’s grip on me tightens, then I gasp as he flips our positions so I’m beneath him. The sudden movement sloshes water over the side of the bath, but I don’t think he cares. He kisses me hard and intensely.
“Oh.” I breathe when he finally lets me go.
Caelan grins. There’s something dangerous in the expression, and the way he looks so intent makes me think he’s already planning all the things he could do with me in the future. “We should get out before Elias thinks I drowned you or something,” he mutters eventually, like he’s trying to distract himself from his own thoughts.
I nod in agreement, not entirely trusting myself to speak.
Caelan helps me out of the bath, and I appreciate it. The warm water left me feeling even dizzier than when I stood before. I give up even trying to stay upright and let Caelan wrap a towel around me.Damn, even the towels are nice, ridiculously soft and fluffy.Then he scoops me up to carry me back to the bedroom.
He sets me down on the edge of the bed and dries himself off, then sprawls across the fresh covers like a lazy, contented cat, and I giggle.
Elias has been waiting for us and comes over, kissing the top of my head. “Feel better?” he asks.
“Yeah. A lot.”
I tilt my head up, and Elias chuckles, obligingly giving me a soft kiss on the lips as well.
“I’m going to clean up myself, and I’ll join you shortly. Don’t feel obliged to stay up if you need to rest. We worked you over quite thoroughly this evening.”
It’s tempting,extremelytempting. I’ve never felt such bone-deep, satisfied exhaustion in my life, and I know I’ll be gone the second I place my head down on the pillow. Even remaining sitting upright is a challenge. But after my conversation with Caelan, I really want to talk to Elias too.
I still can’t get that phrase he used out of my head.Long-term arrangements. What does that even mean? That he would bring it up at all?
Would they consider the possibility of this being more than a one-night stand?
Do they do that? Or was Caelan making a general statement?
Theoretically, if they did, how would that work? An arrangement between all three of us, or might one of them want to see me again but not the other? All three of us for a one-night stand, a bit of fun with a threesome like tonight, that’s easy. But how would the dynamic work as an actual polyamorous relationship? If they even want a relationship at all.I’m getting way too far ahead of myself.
I’m still nothing more than a groupie to them. I can’t forget that.
I’m curious, though. Does Elias have any deal-breakers, like the sadism thing seemed to be for Caelan?
If I can stay awake long enough, I’d like to at least talk.
There’s no way I’m going to last if I stay on the bed, so I stand and head toward the window. Caelan gives me a passing look of curiosity as I leave.
“I’m going to wait up for Elias,” I explain.
Caelan shrugs. “Suit yourself.”
I tug the curtains open just a little. I’m still wrapped in only a towel, and although I don’t think anyone would be able to see in, it’s better to be safe than sorry. The glass doors lead to a balcony with a view down to the hotel’s brightly lit pool below. Beyond that is a dark sky and the city lights of LA.
It hits me again how fucking surreal all of this is.
Being here.
Being with Caelan and Elias.
Having beenthoroughly fuckedby Caelan and Elias.
It seems too much to hope they’d want to keep me around for longer.
I’m too exhausted to stay standing for long, so I curl up on the sofa. Despite my intention of waiting, it’s only moments before I find myself dozing.
Elias returns to find me like that, and he chuckles as he wraps an arm around my shoulders, clearly intending to carry me back to bed.
