“I think we’ve had a miscommunication, so let’s clear it up.” She stopped in front of me, head tipped up to see my face as she ran her hand down my chest. “You’re mine, Nate. That means this body is mine. My arms, my legs, my cock.” She gripped me through my briefs, squeezing until I groaned, hips flexing against her touch. She pulled me down with her other hand, so her deadly whisper went straight into my mouth. “You ever think of showing it to someone else again, I’ll cut it off.”

Christ, this woman. If I wasn’t hard before, that did it.

Before I could do anything other than lick my lips, she shoved me onto the couch, straddling my lap while I was still bouncing.

“Do you understand me, or will you need a visual reminder?”

“I understand, and it’ll never happen again,” I promised, wrapping my hands around her hips. “It’s yours. I’m yours.”

Mari’s chest brushed mine as I flexed my fingers, using the barest touch to grind her on my cock. “I’ve dealt with more than my share of jealousy with the other two, Nate. I don’t want to deal with it with you.”

“I’m sorry. I made a mistake. I just thought?—”

“You thought what?” she asked quietly.

“We thought it was the push you needed.”

The whole charade was a risk, but all four of us—even Cameron—agreed Mari needed a push with me. She was so scared to corrupt me that she was taking too long to realize I was already corrupted. There was nothing left in me to save.

I wasn’t afraid of the darkness if it got me her.

“You were trying to push me?”

“Yes. You see me differently than the others, even though I’m not. I may not have grown up in the life like you three, but I’m not fragile. I chose to be here. I choose you. Don’t keep me at arm’s length, hoping I’ll change my mind.”

“So you decided to manipulate the situation in your favor? Get me angry enough to fuck you, if only to prove a point to everyone else.”

“No. Yes. It wasn’t meant to be like that.”

I hadn’t intended to, but she was right. I could’ve talked to her.

“I’m sorry. I should’ve told you how I felt instead of sneaking around trying to trick you. That’s not fair to either of us.”

“It isn’t, but you’re not wrong.” She sighed, collapsing against me just a little. “I haven’t been comfortable letting you in. You seem too good for this life.”

“I’ve killed hundreds of men for my country and plenty more before that. I’m not some pristine pretty boy, Mari. I’m a grown man with more secrets than you can fathom.”

“Your trauma doesn’t negate your worth, Nate.”

“I know that, but I don’t like how it affects me. But that’s a problem for another time. Right now, I need to know how to get you to see me.”

She flinched, and I wondered if I’d said the wrong thing and how to fix it.

“I’m sorry,” she eventually whispered. “I’m doing exactly what Dominic did without even realizing it.”

Was that true? Thinking it through, I agreed. She hadn’t meant to, but she’d been following his logic the whole time. I hoped feeling that same thing he did would help them come together again. Anyone could see that we worked best as a foursome.

Oh fuck. I wanted to see what that would look like. Three mouths, three cocks making our girl come.

My hips flexed again, rubbing my cock between her legs. Greyson told me all she had on under the dress was a tiny pair of lace panties, and I desperately wanted inside them. “If I promise to forgive you, and you promise to stop treating me like I’m too good for you, can we move on to what I had planned for the rest of the night?”

“Maybe. Why try to trick me? I want the real truth, Nate.”

“Because you think I’m worth saving.”

Something shuttered in her eyes. “You are.”

“I’m not.” Her eyes flickered and I knew she’d argue, so I continued. “I’ve seen and done terrible things. I’ve been part of this world long before I wanted to, but you refuse to see that.”
