How long has it been since my men stripped me naked and tied me up, all to get me to really listen to them—and to help me see how much I suck at being a team player? Not long enough for me to have already forgotten the lesson, that’s for sure.
That’s the problem in a nutshell. How do you stop yourself from doing something that’s so ingrained that you don’t even realize you’re doing it. It would help if I could think straight. My mind feels like mush, and it’s nearly impossible to hold on to my train of thought.
I stand and take one step away from the table before looking over my shoulder at Liam and Gus. “Let’s go find Kai,” I say, determination lacing my words. “We might as well talk about this together.”
They both flank me as we walk through the vast house to get to Kai’s office. The door is closed, and I worry my bottom lip as I ponder if I should knock.
“Just go in,” Liam says, nudging me forward with a light push.
Despite the encouraging words from my consort, I stall for a moment or two before I push the handle down and open the door.
Kai looks like the Olympian I’ve named him after as he sits at the desk, bathed only in the rays from the moon. The cold light makes him look extra pale, and his eyes are almost eerily dark, bordering on black.
Even though it’s winter, the door leading outside is open.
“Why don’t you have the light on?” Gus asks, sounding genuinely confused.
It’s so cold in here you can see the puffs from our breaths, yet Kai has rolled the sleeves on his shirt up and removed his tuxedo jacket.
“I like working in the dark,” my husband states matter-of-factly.
“I’m sorry,” I blurt out abruptly. “Please say you forgive me.”
Kai gets up from behind his desk and walks behind me. I feel his breath on my shoulder as he comes to a stop behind me. “There’s nothing to forgive, Nereid.”
If that were true, surely he wouldn’t sound as though I’ve let him down.
“Let’s sit,” Liam suggests, and I eagerly let Kai pull me to the table in the middle of the room.
“Get on the table,” Kai says impatiently. My eyebrows shoot up, and I deliberate not doing it. “We’re waiting.” My husband is using his teacher-voice, and as much as I want to disobey him, my body carries out the order before I actively decide what to do.
“Fine,” I grumble.
Just as I’m about to climb onto the table, Kai picks up a remote and lowers it for me. While I get into position, he points to the chairs opposite where he was just sitting, and says, “Sit.” The clipped command is aimed at my consort and Gus, who both smirk as they also follow my husband’s order.
Even though my men are close, I don’t like that it feels like they’re a million miles away. I want to touch them, to have them touch me. Plus, I crave knowing Kai isn’t upset with me—or worse, disappointed—and his touch is the most reassuring thing.
“I’m not upset, but I am worried.” Kai’s tone is grave as he answers my unspoken concern.
Fighting the part of me that wants to defend my actions, I bite the inside of my cheek until I taste blood. As hard as it is to hear, I need him to give it to me straight, and not skate around the truth.
I open my mouth to say something, but all I manage is, “Kai—” before he interrupts me.
“Now, undress for us.”
Even though his dominant tenor causes my nipples to pebble, I question whether I heard him right. “What?”
“Now is not the time for words, Nereid. Not yours, anyway. Do as I say.”
I scramble to follow the raspy command, and I quickly pull my arms through the holes and push the thin fabric down, exposing my tits. The cool air is welcome on my skin that feels like I’ve been baking under the warm rays of Apollo’s sun chariot for hours. Lifting my hips, I shimmy the dress down my hips and kick it to the floor along with my shoes.
Lastly, I carefully remove the stars from my nipples, and hand them to Kai who immediately shoves them into his pants pocket.
“Present yourself.” Kai’s command is sharp, and there’s a dangerous glint in his dark eyes.
At first I’m confused, not understanding what he means, but when he draws circles in the air with his index finger, it falls into place. My breath hitches while I, as gracefully as possible, turn around and get on all fours. Spreading my legs, I arch my back and push my ass up as high as possible so they can see my exposed pussy.
“What a fucking sight,” Liam groans.
