The moment was broken as the second half of the ‘we’ stepped inside my house, the man just as gorgeous if not more than Gianni. He was taller and wider, his thick shoulders making the room feel ten times smaller but despite how lethal his aura was, I wanted nothing more than to sink into any embrace he was offering. My tongue darted out to lick my lips in response, Gianni clearing his throat to drag me out of my lust-filled haze.

I thought he might have been angry or disappointed that I was ogling his partner but instead, it was more of the same—the promise to get me not just under him but both of them. That was not something I was going to shy away from.

This new arrival into my house had to be pushing 6’5”, his luscious black hair pulled back into the kind of ponytail that people drooled over, his piercing blue eyes staring through me. If I wasn’t mistaken, he wanted to devour me just the same as Gianni did and I was here for it.

All of it.

In any position.

Inallof the positions.

Alcohol made me horny. Well, hornier than I usually was and there were two very beautiful men standing at the entrance of my house like some terrible porno that I was absolutely going to indulge in.

That’s when it all clicked as I looked between them both, blinking several times and cursing the universe for being unfair. “Gianni, is he one of your-”

“Partners, yes. One of ‘em.” Gianni twisted around and patted the man’s massive chest, a silly grin on his face. “Don’t let Valentyn intimidate you. He’s a big teddy bear.”

Valentyn grunted but couldn’t hide his amusement. “He likes to think so.” He stuck out his hand for me to shake. “It’s a pleasure to meet the man who’s putting stars in Gia’s eyes.” This man was all beast, even more so than Gia. Muscles and veins rippled through his arm as I shook his hand, my fingers dwarfed, my entire body shuddering with the fantasies of those hands elsewhere.

Add in the thick accent from northeast Asia and I knew I was in trouble. Accents were just one of many weaknesses I had and between the hair that could easily have come out of a Loreal commercial, the sea-blue eyes, and the firm handshake? I was all in. Again.

I would be thoroughly disappointed if Gianni hadjustcome to change out my doorknob. Besides, this counted as outside of my comfort zone, right? Valentyn would be a new part to the equation. Gianni snorted, catching onto my thoughts as he turned my attention to the TV.

“Beetlejuice? Seriously?”

“I was a little wired and that seemed like a good idea at the time.”

A drill turned on as Valentyn began disassembling my lock, Gianni looking me over once more before throwing his arms open. “Got it. Come here. I know you need it.”

Fuck yeah, I did.

Gladly, I fell against his chest, wrapping my arms around his waist and soaking up his warmth. I would never be able to get enough of this man, despite the warning—or had it been an invitation?—from earlier. I stuffed my face against his chest, dragging in his scent like a man starved. We stood there for several minutes, the soothing hum of a drill in the background lulling me into a sense of security.

“It’s got a few new bolts in it and this is the only key,” Valentyn said, his voice suddenly much closer than it had been. I tore myself away from Gianni, eyes wide when I found him directly behind me, his breath fanning my cheek in anything but an innocent gesture.

I held out my hand and squeaked a thank you as he dropped the key into my palm.

“How about a movie, Rhys?” Gianni suggested as Valentyn closed my door and locked it. Several chimes and clicks sounded afterward. Valentyn hadn’t been joking about a few extra bolts. “Justa movie. Help you wind down a little, alright?”

I couldn’t say no to a little quality time, although we’d be watching something better than Beetlejuice. The moment I nodded, Gianni was dragging me to the cushions, those chocolates still clutched in my free hand. Valentyn disappeared for a moment before returning to the living room with the rest of the danishes. I waited for an explanation as the man took up residence on my other side.

“Gianni won’t shut up about your sugar addiction. Thought you might like chomping on something other than chocolates.”

I nearly pounced on him and smothered him with kisses at the fact that a guy I had never metlistened. Sure, he had been listening to me indirectly through his partner, however, that was the only thing I wanted aside from the intimacy. For someone to heed my words, to truly understand what I was saying? That feeling was orgasmic in and of itself. I felt no shame when I let out a groan of appreciation and hastily grabbed another danish before ripping a piece off, keeping eye contact with Valentyn at the same time.

I’m not sure my gratitude came off the way I had wanted though because he licked his lips before resituating the growing bulge between his thighs. I held back the urge to say ‘Is that for me?’ and focused on whatever Marvel shit Gianni had chosen for our impromptu movie night.

Chapter nine

RHYS

The focusing continued forsecondsbefore they started touching me. For a moment, I thought that since I was between them, the groping was meant for each other until I caught Gia’s smirk as he played with the hair at the back of my neck. His lips brushed my temple as he strung an arm around my waist, Valentyn’s hand on my thigh inching up until his pinky brushed my cock, making it jump in my pants.

His electric blue eyes found mine as he squeezed my thigh, his lips brushing by my ear. “Tell me to stop, Rhys.” I made a little sound that was definitely encouragement, the beast leaning in to steal a kiss when I twisted toward him. It was slow and sensual, something I hadn’t been expecting. Even his grip boasted control—that I would only be able to take what he was giving. “You’re so fucking delicious. I can see why Gia’s enamored,” Valentyn breathed against my lips as he pulled away.

“I’m not enamored,” Gia snorted.

“No, you’re right. You’re obsessed,” Valentyn purred.
