Share Us
“Despite how Dad talked about her, Gabe met an awesome girl that he just adores. And he is happy to share her.”
The thought that maybe I wouldn't have to choose between any of these guys-- in some magical alternate universe where we wouldn't all have to give up our identities to be together, because they were clearly not going to give up their life of crime and neither was I--was a new, fascinating one.
“She sounds like a lucky girl,” I said, and Aiden's gaze sharpened on me. He hadn't missed the implication.
“I'd like to think so. My little brother's pretty great.”
“He probably takes after his big brother. Definitely not Gavin Crude.” I licked at my lips, struggling a bit to say when I needed to. “I talked a pretty big game with your father.”
“You did,” Aiden’s eyes crinkled at the corners with his smile. “This is why I told you I wanted to ad lib. The stuff you come up with is fun.”
“Adrenaline junkie,” I accused him, and then realized it was true. Aiden was careful and controlled in some ways, but he loved an interesting game.
I didn't know what to make of his love of games when it came to the two of us.
“What is it you want to ask?” Aiden said, startling me with the way he always saw through me.
“Can you take me to the club? Or teach me here? I want to be ready.”
His eyes gleamed with light that was both predatorial and strangely alluring. “I'm happy to teach you, Selena. The club is empty right now. We could get a look at it.”
“Right now?” I let the faintest note of alarm bleed into my voice. I was curious about the club, but it was still overwhelming to think of allowing anyone to tie me up or make me vulnerable.
He seemed to catch himself. “I have this timeline with my father, and I am concerned about it. But of course, you want to spend the day going through the files on your parents. You’re finally so close. I understand that. I didn't mean to be insensitive.”
His thoughtfulness surprised me.
“I can work on it this afternoon,” I said. “My parents’ killers have gone free this long.”
His jaw tightened and I realized he was genuinely upset for me. But he merely nodded. “Then let’s go now.”
“I think I need to finish my pancakes before I face the sex club,” I said, which was not a sentence that I had ever thought I'd say.
But even though I was nervous, I was excited to spend some time one-on-one with Aiden. The guys all seem so close. They seemed like…they might be able to share.
It was crazy. But a girl could dream.
As long as she didn't get too attached to those dreams.
CHAPTER20
Selena
We returnedto the resort where Aiden had taken me the first time. I was surprised to be greeted cheerfully by the valet, as if he already knew me.
I’d expected the sex club to be dingier, but of course, everything Aiden did was marked with perfection and beauty, and his sex club was no different. He led me through the red door with his eyes alight.
The walls of the club were covered in deep red velvet and silver wallpaper, the velvet showcasing a variety of intricate patterns and shapes. The walls shimmered in the light that came in through the large stained glass windows, which illuminated the intricate designs inlaid in the smooth marble floors.
In the center of the club, there was a large dance floor. On one side of the dance floor were two long leather benches. On the other side was a long polished wooden bar, with a variety of liquors.
The remainder of the club was filled with booths and chairs, some of which were upholstered in a deep red velvet, others with intricate wooden carvings. On the walls hung a variety of art pieces that included framed photographs, paintings, and sculptures, all of it erotic and strikingly beautiful. Some of it must be Xander's work; it just felt like him, the blend of passion and wild intensity.
Aiden noticed me looking and said, “I’m glad Xander furnished a lot of the art for the club. His work has the right energy.”
At the back of the club were entrances to other rooms. One large room had various benches, a bed, a swing, and a large X-shaped wooden frame. Another room had a large sunken hot tub surrounded by lush green plants and doors that led out to the pool. Beyond the BDSM room were a few smaller, private rooms, each richly furnished and cozy and obviously for private play.
The atmosphere of the club was one of luxury and decadence. The air was thick with the sweet scent of incense that was burned at night. Aiden’s pride in his club was evident as he surveyed the room.
