“I know you’re not Daniel,” she mumbled.
“Do you? If you did, you’d understand that the most precious thing in the world to us is you. Your happiness, your sense of self. We don’t want you suppressed beneath the weight of our boots, Callie, ruled by fear of what we might do to you on a fucking whim.” Elias drove forward, well aware that their window of opportunity to get back to the city was narrowing the longer he sat stewing in his frustration. “I’m sure Evander’s explained about rules and boundaries. How consent is the unbreakable law. For us, anyway.”
“Yeah.” It was barely a whisper.
“You are a grown woman. An adult. Capable of making your own decisions, saying yes or no. Daniel denied you that, taking advantage of your submissiveness, your innocence.” And for that reason alone, Elias was eager to get the shady fuck somewhere private to show him exactly what happened to abusive men in Eli’s world. “He exploited the Little side of you in abhorrent ways.”
“He didn’t really see that side of me…”
“Yeah, he did. Maybe you believed you hid it well enough, but she sneaks out even when you think you have her under control. From what I’ve seen, she’s your defense mechanism, Callie. When something is scary or stressful, she acts as the buffer to protect adult you from being hurt.”
“Men like Daniel enjoy ruining innocence, sweetness.” Evander’s voice rumbled darkly, a warning of his own feelings toward Daniel the Dick. “Causing pain for the sake of it. They only follow their own rules, chasing their own pleasure, regardless of what it costs their partner.”
“Partner,” Elias scoffed, tightening his grip on the wheel as though it was Daniel’s neck.
“Yes, I know, the wrong word.”
For a few moments, the only sound in the vehicle was Callie’s shaky breathing. Her anxiety was growing, filling the space with edgy tension. “Can we start with a clean slate?”
“No,” Evander said simply before Elias could open his mouth. “If your behavior this morning warrants correction, then Eli will deal with it when we get back to the hotel. Once it’s over, then the slate will be clean.”
The wide-eyed she gave him in the rearview mirror was part scared, part aroused, Elias noted with amusement. She remembered what he’d said about how he’d handle her spanking if it was in his control…and now, it was.
His cock was in full agreement with Evander’s decision.
“But,” his friend continued, “Eli and I will promise that should anything change in the relationship, we will strive to remain amicable at the very least.”
“Amicable?”
“I can promise amicable,” Elias assured her. “It might even extend to civilized with the right incentive.”
“I-I’m sorry, did you say Eli is going to…”
His lips curved into a smirk as he glanced in the mirror again before returning his full attention to the road. “Make sure that pretty pussy is smooth, little one. There’s nothing quite as sexy as the sound of a hand smacking a bare, wet—”
“La, la, la, la, la.”
“Does she have her fingers in her ears by any chance?” Elias asked.
“She does.”
“Her regressive periods are oddly random.”
“The prospect of being punished by a sadist frightens our girl, Eli.”
It was shocking how easily they were using possessive pronouns, as though all they’d needed was Callie’s go-ahead before the twisted mess smoothed out and fit neatly into empty space.
As her childlike chorus ofla’s continued, Elias grunted. His thoughts were starting to become consumed by the cascade of snow tumbling from an ever-darkening sky, but he had one question requiring an immediate answer.
“Are you really okay with this? Sharing the one woman who actually managed to hook the attention of your heart instead of your dick?”
Evander chuckled. “She’s got my attention, period. I think she will benefit from having both of us as her Doms. Double the support system, double the safety net. She shies away from social interaction, yet she’s desperate to be loved. Together, we can be everything she wants, and everything she doesn’t know she needs. Besides, it’s not as though your dick’s the only thing interested in her, either.”
“It may have competition from other organs,” Elias admitted.
“Then there’s no problem. Sharing the woman I love with my best friend—a man I respect and love like a brother—feels like the right step forward. I’m ready for this, Eli. I’ve spent my life building the company, making dreams come true for others, and you’ve been by my side for the last ten years of it.” Evander cleared his throat as thela’s began to trail off. “It’s time to focus on my dream, onourdream. Family, kids, the future.”
Kids, fuck. Personally, that had never been a goal on his bucket list, but the yearning in his friend’s voice was impossible to miss. Ledston Senior wasn’t an overwhelming example of a father, spouting his religious crap like water from a fountain, which was another reason to admire Evander.
