It’s in there and it whispers to me.

I hear it.

It was my question and I’ll answer it to make it clear to everyone exactly what is on the table.

“No. You wouldn’t work for us. We want you to consider being ours. Both of ours, in our own way. Giving your heart and will to us. Allowing us to love you and please you as we wish. Let us take care of you. And before you think too deep, this offer is not on the table for anyone else and it will never be available to anyone else. We don’t own people, Willow. There is only you.” I pause to let my words sink in and glance to Alex who nods in agreement.

Shifting my attention back to Willow, I trace my eyes over her pretty dress. I bare my teeth, and my smile turns predatory as I notice her nipples lips have parted and her breathing deepens.

I was right.

On some deep level I always knew she would be mine, and it’s time for her to accept her place.

She just needed a little push.

“I know, Willow.” Alex leans his body closer to her, placing his hand over hers on her lap as if to comfort her. “I know your secret.” This time it’s my turn to look confused when he says, “Mary told me about your fantasies in high school.”

Wait, what now?

I drop all pretences and send Alex my most confused what-the-fuck look because—really—what the actual fuck, Alex?

Now I’m invested in the rest of this little story that Alex has managed to keep from me all of these years, and I sit back and wait for him to continue.

“Mary had a crush on me. She was never your friend, Willow. She told me what you shared with her at one of her sleepovers. How you fantasized about rough sex, about being used and told what to do. And about how you thought about being punished when you couldn’t sleep. Having thoughts like that when we were younger must have been confusing for you. She thought telling me would disgust me, but it didn’t. I told her if she told another living person what she said to me, I would ruin her perfect reputation at school. You’re so special. Let us show you how perfect you are for us.”

I already know the answer to my question before I ask it. “Why didn’t you tell me?” I’m just stunned Alex would keep this from me.

“I wanted to, but I knew you wouldn’t have let her go, and I would have happily agreed to keep her. You know how different it was then.” Turning from me to Willow, Alex continues, “We should never have let you go. I see that now. Give us a chance to get back to where we should be. Let us show you how beautiful your fantasies really are.”

As Willow looks between us I nod to show her I’m on board, because I’m more than on board—I’m ready to ride this train all of the way to the end.

Alex is right, if I had known about those fantasies then, I would never have let her leave. Now, letting her go seems like the dumbest idea we’ve ever had.

Back then, it was different.

“So we would be together? Is this the debt I owe you or—” Her voice trails off, waiting for me to fill in the blanks.

“If you’re asking if you owe us your body for a period of time then we’re done with you, the answer is no. There is no debt between us.” I know I sound more incensed than I should.

It’s a logical question coming from someone who has no experience in the lifestyle we want with her. Leaning in, I attempt to speak as clearly as possible. “No matter what you choose, your business is yours, and we would like to help you with your daughter and your mortgages. No strings attached. But I know that isn’t all you want, Willow. Now I know you want more. You want everything we’re offering. This is what you’ve been looking for and I know you trust both of us enough to allow us to give it to you as we take what should have been ours all along.”

As I finish my thought, Willow sucks in a deep breath and shudders on her exhale. She knows I’m right and there is no hiding from her truth now.

My weeping Willow has dark depths of her own, needs she’s never indulged in or explored, and I’m almost jumping out of my skin at the thought that we have what she desires most in those depraved corners of her heart.

“I want that.” As her confession leaves her lips in a husky whisper, Alex calms beside her.

She’s stepping across our line.

He knows she’s ours now and we’re in control.

WILLOW

As soon as the words leave my lips, the room warms as both Shane and Alex settle on either side of me.

“We want you too, Willow.” Alex’s claim unlocks something I pushed down a long time ago.

I hated the way I felt.
