“Never, baby girl. Understand me?” Liam pressed.
“But you hurt Nico, with his permission,” she added hastily.
“Yes, because it’s what he likes. What he enjoys. I don’t want an unwilling partner. That’s abuse. The minute he tells me he no longer wants that, then it’s off the table.”
“Just like that?”
“Yes.”
Nico raised an eyebrow. Liam turned to look at him, including them both in his stare. “Nothing means more to me than the two of you, got it?”
“Sometimes, I push Liam into taking charge because it helps me let go for a while. I tend to hide things that upset me behind jokes and laughter. Liam gives me a space where I don’t have to think. I trust him. And if something went too far, then he’ll always listen to my safeword.”
“I still don’t know.”
“It’s not all bondage and pain. Of course, if you want to mix in some spanking and role play, then Liam won’t say no. His favorite is where he’s the uptight, grouchy boss and I’m the naughty employee who comes to work late.”
“Nico,” Liam groaned.
Lottie looked shocked, then she actually smiled. “You’re joking.”
“He is,” Liam told her.
“I’m not.”
“Personally, I’ve always wanted to try the butler and the maid, but I don’t have the legs to pull off a maid’s uniform.”
“Dear Lord,” Liam moaned. “He’s making this shit up, baby.”
Nico shook his head, eyes wide. “Just think of the possibilities. He could be a builder. Just imagine him, bending over, showing you his builder’s crack—”
Liam slammed his hand over Nico’s mouth. “I’ll be doing something to your crack soon.”
Lottie just watched them and for a moment, he thought they might have gone too far. He didn’t want her scared of Liam. But her eyes started to twinkle. “You know, I’ve always thought that Liam would make a better farmer.”
“Yeah, I can see that. Him out, milking the cows,” Nico said after he’d pulled Liam’s hand away from his mouth.
“Tending the crops.”
“Oh, he’d be aces at that. Potato growing is in his blood.”
“You’re both in trouble.” Liam pointed a finger at them both while happiness swum through Nico’s veins.
He’d always known she’d fit in. She wouldn’t let Liam take himself too seriously. Wouldn’t let Nico get too carried away.
Nico handed over her phone. “Our numbers are in there.”
She nodded, looking a bit sad. Because she wanted them to stay?
“Lottie, if you hurt yourself again, then I’m going to have to tell Regent,” Liam warned.
Her eyes widened. “You wouldn’t.”
He wouldn’t. He couldn’t. Nico stared over at Liam. That would break any sort of trust between them.
“Baby, you can’t keep doing this. It has to stop. And I’ll do whatever it takes to help you. Even if it means you hate me.”
Fuck.
