I finish with the fruit and put it in a bowl, sliding it over the island, closer to the stools. Then I flip the pancakes out of the pan before creating new ones.

“Breakfast is served, Daddy,” I say like the brat I am.

A full growl rumbles across the space between us that shoots directly between my legs. He slowly stands up and prowls into the kitchen area, and I have an irrational feeling he is hunting me. Like I should run and let him chase me. I’d like to be caught.

“You know what you get when you call me that,” he says. The stool scraps across the floor as he drags it away from the island and sits down.

I grin widely and bat my eyes. “A few dozen orgasms?”

“Keep it up, and I’ll edge the fuck out of you. You’ll be begging for release when I’m done.”

My skin feels tight and hot at the idea. But I focus on the pancakes before I burn them.

“I’ll get Felix,” Saint says before dropping a kiss to my temple.

Austin is around the counter, pinning me against the one at my back and looming over me the second Saint is out of sight. He sniffs my neck and nips my earlobe. The slight scent of maple syrup clings to him as he says, “If you start the night in my bed, I expect you to be there when I wake up, princess.”

I catch my breath, holding it trapped in my lungs as his hands roam up my sides.

“Sharing you with those two is fine when it starts out that way, but if you are mine for the night, that means the entire night. Do you understand?”

Pure molten lust flows through my veins. He rubs his chin and cheek over my neck, marking me with his pheromones. The same ones I washed off last night. His hands burn a path back down to my hips, where he grips me tight and pulls me flush against him.

“Tell me you understand, princess, before your pancakes burn.”

I can barely think, let alone cook with his larger-than-life thickness pressed against my belly and his fingers digging into my hips with promising intent.

“Yes, Daddy,” I whisper. Need for him fills each syllable, enough to satisfy him to step back, leaving me panting and on the edge of another fucking heat wave.

“That’s a good girl,” he replies, his voice husky and warm as it washes over me.

Like a robot, I move back to the stovetop and flip the pancakes before they burn. But my entire being focuses on Austin, exactly where he wants my attention. I’m like a live wire, flailing around, waiting for his next move.

He watches me as he eats, barely looking down at his food long enough to get it on the fork. Desire swirls in his violet depths that makes me want to hop up on the counter and crawl across it to him.

“The tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife,” Felix says as he appears. He runs his hand through his hair before rubbing his stomach. “It smells amazing in here, and I’m not just talking about the pancakes.”

He closes the distance between us and wraps me in a hug from behind. His brief kiss to the nape of my neck is enough to send goosebumps of awareness down my spine. I want to turn in his arms and climb him like a mountain.

“Mmm, Audrey, you smell fucking amazing,” Felix murmurs. “A mixture of you and two of my favorite alphas.”

I lean back in his arms as I flip his pancakes.

“Want to go to Central Park today?” he asks.

“She can’t, I’m taking her to deal out some vengeance with Sin.” Saint pops a strawberry into his mouth and leans on the counter next to us.

Felix shivers behind me. “Pass. Maybe after.”

Saint chuckles, stealing another strawberry.

“When did you and my brother get on a first name basis?”

“When he let him take out his pent up darkness on one man that hurt you,” Felix says into my shoulder.

I suck in a breath. Sin hadn’t told me. Not that we’ve talked much lately. I need to fix that.

“He also set him up to fight in the ring,” Felix adds.
