Hannibal was tempted to continue the teasing from earlier. “Is that so? When do we get our private sessions?”

“I suppose that depends on your schedule. We can do your training while the place is open, or if you want, I’m willing to come in early or stay late.” Her tone was completely professional, even if her words gave him so many dirty ideas.

“Are you now?” Ink said.

Color rose in Jade’s cheeks. Hannibal considered the question. They had a pretty flexible schedule for everything except when they were doing tattoos at Dark Ink. Without looking at both of their calendars, there was no way to make a commitment. He would have to get back to her, even though he really wanted to lock her down now.

“How many sessions will you need to whip us into shape?” Hannibal loved the way that she didn’t back away from both of their obvious flirting. He could see her nipples tightening underneath the tight little tank top she wore. It was his deepest wish at that moment that she would be up for what the two of them wanted.

“You don’t have to come train under me.” She looked up at them, a teasing smile tipping her lips upward. “If you don’t think you can handle it, we can stick to the original bet. I’ll admit it would have been fun teaching you how to conquer the cargo net the right way. I get if I’m too much for you. But I’ve dreamed of having your ink on me, so I guess I can settle for that.”

Ink’s eyes sparked and Hannibal wondered if Jade understood how big of a challenge she was throwing down. “You think you can handle both of us at the same time? Because we don’t really do one on one. Better be sure you understand what we’re offering, darlin’.”

Her quick gasp of breath and the way her eyes lowered was so fucking attractive. Hannibal wanted to lay her out right there on the floor and see if she tasted as sweet as she looked. Would she be fire or honey once the clothes came off?

He followed her quick gaze over at the women and saw that the Old Ladies were packing up and waving their goodbyes.

“I–” She cleared her throat with an adorable little sound. “Both of you. You mean together. At the same time. Isn’t that painful?”

Hannibal studied Jade’s body language. Her breathing was quick and her eyes were dilated. All signs she understood and was interested in what they were offering. However, it never hurt to be crystal clear. He ran a finger along her jaw, tilting her face up to look at him. “We do our tattoo work separately, beautiful. But everything else we like to share. If that’s something that interests you, all you need to do is say yes.”

Ink stepped behind Jade and ran his fingers over the gorgeous woman’s shoulders. She shivered and swayed between them. She tipped her chin up, looking at him. Her lips quirked up into a little smile. “I think joint sessions might be fun.”

“Might be.” Ink’s chuckle was a low rumble. “Oh, there is no, might be, about it. We always make sure everyone has fun when we’re together.”

Hannibal cupped her cheek while Ink ran his hands down her sides from the back. They both stepped closer, pressing her body between theirs. Letting her feel how turned on they were. It was tempting to start stripping off what little clothing she wore right there. The feel of her tight body against his trapped cock was a painful little tease.

Jade’s eyes glazed, and he hoped she was feeling the draw as strongly as he was. God, it would be so disappointing if she wasn’t up for the kind of games that he and his Brother enjoyed. Wanting two men to share her didn’t mean she would be interested in fulfilling their other needs. Not that he wasn’t ready to take her up on whatever she was ready to offer.

It was obvious there was a submissive spirit in this woman from her reactions to them. But some instinct told him she wasn’t experienced in the kind of games they liked to play. Introducing someone completely vanilla into the world of BDSM wasn’t something he had ever considered doing. He and Ink had always preferred experienced subs to remove any misunderstanding. But the beautiful Jade tempted him.

The idea of being her first in so many things, was an exciting prospect. A game plan began to form in his mind. “How about we get started tonight?”

She took a shaky breath in. He enjoyed the sensation of her trembling against him. Jade’s body jerked, her gaze locking on something over his shoulder. Hannibal turned and surveyed the room. He didn’t see anything out of order. Just the empty warehouse full of obstacles. The only other thing in that direction was a set of stairs that led to a room marked Office. A dim light was barely visible through the frosted glass.

He turned back to look at her and quickly realized that something had changed. Her lips were tight and her shoulders bunched. She looked angry as she shook her head, and stepped sideways, slipping out from between them. Hannibal backed off, puzzled by the strange reaction.

“I’m sorry I can’t tonight. I’ve got things I’ve got to take care of.” She began moving away. “I’m open to any other night this week. Your friends have my cell number if you want to text me. I’m sorry, I have to go.” With those strange words, Jade took off at a jog, heading through the obstacles towards the office without even a glance back

“What the fuck was that?”

Chapter 6

If you’re not losing friends then you haven’t grown up.

Ink

Ink watched Jade’s heart-shaped ass as she strode off as if on a mission. She had been right there with them. Everything about her body, her pulse, her breath said she was ready for whatever games they wanted to play. Then something happened that snapped the mood.

Ink shook his head. “I don’t know. Did we push her too fast?”

Why was he so concerned that she had walked away? She was a distraction for the evening, not someone who should make him question his actions. If she didn’t want what they were offering, there were plenty of women at the Club who would be happy to be between him and Hannibal.

Ink wasn’t the type of man to question his moves. Hesitation wasn’t something either of them bothered with. It had been a long time since they had tried to connect with a woman anywhere where the women didn’t know the score. Maybe he was rusty?

Hell, going after a woman who they just met was a stupid risk. But something about Jade had them both acting as if she was already theirs. Not that they had any intentions of claiming her. No, he didn’t intend to claim anyone.

Settling down was for men who had more vanilla tastes. What woman dreamed of having to put up with two men with their tastes in the bedroom for the long term? Sure, there were plenty of women willing and eager to join them for a night or occasionally several nights on the dark side. But after the initial thrill of walking on the edge wore off, they all wanted a single someone who they could be proud to take home to the family.
