I’VE FINALLY GOT my hands on Dani’s naked body. But as I gather her in my arms and stand up from the bench where Crew just made her come hard with his mouth—okay, I like to think I had a little to do with it too—Nathan takes a step toward me.
“My turn. Couch,” he says shortly.
I lift a brow. “Nope.”
Nathan Armstrong is the boss when we’re in the Racketeers arena. Not here. Even though this is his apartment, he’s not in charge of this.
Dani is. If she stops this, or changes this, or chooses only one of us, it will devastate us. And we’ll do anything for her, anything to make this work. She has us wrapped around her little finger. And we all know it.
Even Armstrong. If he fucking slows down and thinks for a second.
He’s already unbuttoning his shirt. He stops and turns back to me. “Excuse me?”
“I said no. Bedroom. All of us.” I hold Dani to my chest and start down the hallway that I assume leads to the bedroom.
“Hughes,” Nathan grits out between teeth that are clamped so tightly I’m surprised his jaw hasn’t cracked.
I look down at Dani. She’s watching me with wide eyes. And a little smile.
“How’re you doing?”
“I’m really, really good,” she says with a light laugh. “But he’s…”
“Fine,” I tell her, loud enough that Nathan can also hear. “He’s fine.”
“But he wants–” she starts.
“You, Cookie,” I say. “I know. And he’s going to have you. With us.” I glance over my shoulder at Nathan. Sure enough, he’s right on my heels. Crew’s behind him, grinning.
“Okay,” she says. The look she gives me hits me hard in the chest. “I trust you.”
I give her a little squeeze. I will never let anything happen to her. Not even Nathan Armstrong.
“Which way?” I ask Armstrong when I’m in the hallway and there are three doors to choose from.
“Oh, you need me now?” he asks, but he pushes past me and opens the door at the end of the hall.
Dani giggles softly, pressing her face against my chest and I grin. She’s not afraid of Nathan. He’s a growly asshole, but she likes him and wants him to be a part of this. As long as he doesn’t try to leave me or Crew out, this is going to be fine.
I follow him into the master bedroom and…holy shit.
I was too distracted by Danielle to really study much of the penthouse when we were out in the main area, but I take a moment to appreciate this room. I knew the guy was loaded, but damn. I have a great apartment in a leafy neighborhood, but I’ve chosen to live modestly on the second floor of a renovated brownstone in Bucktown. It has nice finishes, but it’s on the small side because I travel with the team and don’t need all that space. Plus, I grew up in a small house crowded with siblings. Too much space makes me feel too alone.
But Nathan’s place is amazing.
“This view is great,” Crew says, looking out the window that gives us a breathtaking view of the lights of downtown in the foreground and then the dark expanse of the lake beyond.
“Let’s make the view gorgeous,” Nathan says, gesturing to me to put Dani on the bed.
I smile. Nice. That was very nice.
I lay her on the dark gray duvet. Nathan is already shrugging out of his shirt. His eyes on her and nothing else.
I don’t blame him. Her red hair and pale skin against the dark gray is a gorgeous contrast. She seems to not know what to do though. Her legs are moving restlessly and her hands are gripping the duvet. She looks from him to me to Crew.
Crew approaches the bed with a grin. He reaches over his head to grab the back of his shirt and tugs it up and off. He throws it to the side and starts on the fly of his jeans. “You feelin’ like the main course of the banquet, spread out on the table for us all to feast on, Dani girl?” he asks. “Cuz you’re not.”
He leans his knee on the mattress, making it dip.
“No?” she asks with a laugh.
“Nah, you’re dessert. All the sweet stuff.” He reaches out, running a hand up her thigh closest to him. “And I’m definitely gonna be ruining my dinner, fillin’ up on you.” He leans over and puts his mouth against hers. “Or filling you up.”
She laughs, the sound light and sweet and I feel myself smiling just from the sound of it.
Crew and his playfulness is a great contrast to Nathan’s broody seriousness. I look at my boss, expecting a scowl and more teeth grinding.
I’m surprised to see him watching Crew and Dani kiss and tease with an expression that’s more bemused than angry. He drops his shirt on the floor next to the bed.
“My turn,” he says.
His tone is firm, but it lacks the harshness of earlier.
Crew looks up. His hand is full of one of Dani’s breasts. He brushes his thumb over her nipple. “Be my guest,” he says. But he doesn’t move. She’s on her back, he’s at her side, leaning over, his mouth hovering over hers.
That leaves plenty of room—plenty of Dani—for Nathan.
Nathan doesn’t say anything to that, but he moves in, joining her on the bed on her other side. He cups her face, turning her toward him so he can kiss her. But Crew continues playing with her nipple.
Her fingers thread into Nathan’s hair and she sighs into his mouth. He rests his hand on her belly as he kisses her deeply. Her thighs part and she makes a soft whimpering sound.
I shrug out of my shirt too, then palm my cock. But I’m happy watching right now. She’s so gorgeous like this. Spread out, being worshiped, totally in control whether she realizes it at this moment or not.
She has all of our balls in the palm of her hand, figuratively anyway. And I suspect she’s got our hearts there too. She’s got mine anyway.
“Nathan,” she murmurs against his mouth. “Touch me.” She rests her hand on his, on her stomach, then slides it down between her legs.
He cups her there. Then slides one finger into her.
I move to the foot of the bed and wrap a hand around her ankle. “Let me see, Cookie.” I move her legs apart and she happily spreads them further for me.
For us.
Nathan is thrusting his finger deep, slowly, over and over.
“She’s so wet for us, isn’t she?” Crew says. He brushes her hair back from her face and presses a kiss to her forehead. He’s kneeling by the bed now.
“So fucking wet,” Nathan agrees.
“Such a good girl,” Crew says, licking over her nipple. “Getting so wet for our cocks. Coming so sweet and easy for us.” Then he sucks on her nipple.
She gasps and arches closer to Nathan’s hand. “More, please.” She looks at me.
I shake my head. “I think Nathan wants your pussy first, Cookie.”
“You need my cock, Danielle?” Nathan asks her, circling his thumb over her clit. “You need to be fucked?”
“Y-y-yes,” she says raggedly as shivers shake her body.
“Take my cock out,” he says.
She reaches for his pants immediately. She undoes his belt, then unbuttons and unzips his pants. She has her hand wrapped around his cock a moment later. She seems almost relieved as she strokes him.
“Where are your condoms, boss?” Crew asks.
Nathan pauses. He wraps his hand around Dani’s on his cock, stopping her movements. “Don’t have any. Don’t need them. I just got tested.”
Crew focuses on Dani. “You on the pill, sweetheart?”
She bites her lip and nods.
“Cool. I test regularly too.” Crew looks over at me. “Guessing the Doc is good to go?”
I nod. “Yeah.” My cock is so hard thinking about fucking Dani without a condom, I can’t get much more out than that.
Dani is looking at Nathan though. “Is that all?”
He shakes his head. “Later.”
“But…”
He presses a finger to her lips. “You’re safe.” He pauses, watching her eyes. “Do you trust me?”
I hold my breath. This is a big moment. I can sense it. Earlier, Dani told Crew and I that she trusted us. It was unprompted. We didn’t ask for it, she just gave it.
Nathan needs to hear this from her. Just like in the foyer when Crew told him he was making Dani uncomfortable, Nathan is realizing that he’s very intense with her. And that maybe he needs to fucking relax.
That he has her without acting like a caveman.
“I trust you,” she says softly. “Completely.”
He seems relieved. He nods. “Good.” Then he stands up, shucks out of his clothes entirely, and moves to kneel between Dani’s thighs. He just watches her for a long moment.
I’m actually shocked he’s completely naked in front of two other men.
Who are not.
Finally, he looks at Crew, then me. “Do we need to draw stick figure diagrams, or does everyone know where they need to be?”
Crew snorts then grabs his side. “Jesus, Nate. Warn a guy before you get unexpectedly funny. I might pull something. And I need to be in top shape for our girl.” He gives Dani a wink. “Though I promise, even at less than 100% you’re gonna be walkin’ funny tomorrow.”
She slaps his arm as she laughs. “Crew!”
He shrugs and stands, shedding his clothes. “Girl, as long as you can stand up straight, we’re doin’ something wrong and we’ll have to keep you in this bed workin’ on it. Just warnin’ you.”
She covers her eyes as she blushes hard and laughs.
Which makes me laugh. “You’re spread out, bare naked, with three men drooling over you, but you’re blushing about that?” I start unbuttoning and unzipping my pants too. “What did you think was gonna happen in here tonight?”
She’s grinning as she uncovers her eyes and looks at me. “Well, you know very well what I read about. I didn’t want to let my expectations get too high. That’s all fiction, right?”
I drop my pants and boxers, kicking them out of the way, and approach the side of the bed opposite of Crew. I’m smiling but I don’t have to try to add the heat to my tone when I say, “It’s fantasy, Cookie. And we’re going to blow all your expectations right out of the water.”
Her eyes are hooded when she licks her lips and asks, “Promise?”
I stroke my hand down her arm, linking our fingers. “Promise.”
Nathan’s hands go to her waist and he pulls her toward him. “Need you, Danielle,” he says simply.
Her eyes are on him as she nods. “Please.”
He slowly eases her onto his cock. The sight of her pussy stretching around him, the sound of the hitch in her breathing, and the way her eyes slip shut all make me fist my cock, squeezing.
Crew leans in and takes her mouth, the kiss slow and deep.
Nathan’s gritting his teeth as he pauses, balls deep. He circles his thumb over her clit, easing out, then thrusting in again nice and slow.
Dani whimpers and swivels her hips, as if she’s trying to get closer. She doesn’t have much leverage. Her legs are spread wide, her thighs resting over Nathan’s as he kneels between them. He’s controlling the pace with his hands on her waist, and his own hips.
Crew has his fingers in her hair, holding her head still as he kisses her and plays with her nipples lazily. She’s at their mercy.
And I don’t think she likes it.
I watch, just waiting to see what she’ll do.
She finally pulls away from Crew, frowning up at Nathan. “What are you doing?”
His jaw is tight. “Fucking you.”
“No you’re not.”
His eyes snap to hers. “What?”
“You’ve fucked me before,” she says. “It wasn’t like this. I want that.”
He frowns. “I thought I was upsetting you being like that.”
Her eyes widen. “I thought you were upset. I thought you might punch Crew in the face or fire Michael! I’m not nervous about how you are with me.”
He’s stopped moving. He’s staring at her.
She reaches out and grasps his wrist. “I want all of you because you’re different. You make me feel different things. You treat me differently but in all ways I love. You bring out different sides of me.” She wiggles her ass, moving on his cock and Nathan’s nostrils flare. “I want you to share me because it’s so good for me, so hot, because you know that together, it will be the best I’ve ever had. But I don’t just want three guys. I want you three. I want to feel every inch of you, Nathan, and I want to know that you are here with me, in me. You, Nathan. I want you to fuck me the way you fuck me.”
I know my eyes widen. I see Crew grin.
“That’s our girl,” he says. “Tell us what you want.”
Nathan’s body is frozen, but his gaze is hot as he stares down at Dani.
Then suddenly he moves. He leans in, bracing his hands on either side of her head as Crew jerks back out of the way.
“Tell me how you want me to fuck you, Danielle,” Nathan practically growls.
She puts her hands up to his face, holding him as she says, “Like I’m your dirty slut.”
Crew sucks in a breath, then whistles. “Holy shit, Nate. You get dirty slut Dani? Let’s go.”
Nathan is still staring at her. They’re nearly nose to nose. But finally he says, “Yeah. I get dirty slut, Dani.”
Then he scoops under her ass and rolls to his back, taking her with him. She’s now on top, facing him, her thighs on either side of his hips. He’s still buried deep. Then he lifts his hand and brings it down on her ass, giving her a hard spank.
She gasps, then moans as a bright pink handprint shows on her sweet, creamy skin.
“Yes, Nathan,” she says, wiggling against him, taking him deeper.
“Don’t ever tell me I make you nervous without being very clear about how I’m scaring you. I want to know exactly how you’re feeling,” he says. “Do you understand?”
She nods.
He spanks her again.
“Yes!” she cries out, but she also moves over his cock as if she’s trying to get some relief from a different kind of pain.
“I want to know everything I make you feel whether it’s bad,” he slaps her ass again, not hard, but enough to make her gasp and the pink get brighter. “Or good.” He gives her one more smack.
She rotates her hips. “Yes. Yes. I promise.”
“What do you want right now, Danielle?” Nathan asks gruffly, kneading her hot pink ass.
“For you to fuck me the way you fuck me.” She pauses. “With them.”
He gives her a single nod and then presses her down harder on his cock. She moans. He looks at Crew. “You heard her.”
“Yes, sir.” Crew is grinning. He reaches for his jeans and pulls out a small plastic bottle. He holds it up for Dani.
She laughs, though it sounds breathless. “You got yourself some too?”
“I couldn’t risk that you’d forget it,” he says. He leans in and kisses her. “When you suck my cock, it’s only right that it tastes like cotton candy too.”
Then he opens the bottle and pours some of the lube into his hand. He strokes his cock as he moves in behind her.
He looks at me. “Unless you want second position?”
I look at Dani, Nathan, and at Crew getting behind her, clearly ready to take her ass. Heat floods through me and I shake my head. “I’m good over here, for now.”
“Well, you better come closer than that,” Dani says, crooking her finger at me.
I lift a brow. “And why’s that?”
“Because you’ve teased me with that gorgeous cock long enough. I have one more place to put one.” She taps her bottom lip.
“You want it to taste like cotton candy?” Crew asks her, stroking his hand up and down her back, then over her ass cheeks. “Jesus, Nate, you heated her up good back here.”
“I like the idea of you looking at my handprint on her while you fuck her from behind,” Nate says, squeezing her hips.
Crew chuckles. “Well done.”
Dani looks down at Nathan in surprise. Then smiles. “It’s going to be awhile before we can totally get rid of that possessiveness, huh?”
He squeezes her again. And does not smile. “Never going to happen.”
I decide not to point out that she’s about to take a guy in the ass while giving another a blow job right in front of Nathan.
He’s come a long way already.
Dani looks up at me with those gorgeous green eyes. “And no, I just need Michael to taste like Michael.”
Crew pinches her butt. “But you want me to taste like candy?”
She laughs and swats at him. “You said that, not me. You’re the one all into my pussy tasting like candy too.”
He strokes his hands up her sides, then around to cup her breasts. “Nah, sweet girl, you are delicious, as is.” He tweaks her nipples. “But when we go to the circus, I’m getting real cotton candy and we’re going to do very inappropriate things with it. Just because.”
“McNeill,” Nate grinds out from under Dani.
“Yeah, boss?”
“Get in there, or I’m going to fuck her without you.”
Crew laughs. “Damn. Impatient much?”
“Yes,” Nathan says.
Crew strokes his hand over his cock, then runs his hand down Dani’s ass again, then up between her cheeks, spreading lube. “You ready for me sweet girl? You gonna take me in this tight little hole?” He presses a kiss to her shoulder as he eases a finger into her. “You gonna take me and Nate at the same time? You gonna be a good girl and fuck two big cocks at once?”
She’s trembling and she moans as he moves his finger. “Yes,” she pants. “Yes. I want to. I…hope so.”
“You haven’t done this before, Cookie?” I ask, resting my hand on the back of her head. I turn her to look at me so I can see her eyes. “Dani, have you done this before?”
She wet her lips. “I want you all at once. I want this, Michael. I just…it’s new. But I want to do it for the first time with you,” she adds quickly. She looks down at Nathan and reaches back to grab Crew’s arm. “Only with you three. You’re the only ones I would.”
I stroke her hair and share a look with Crew, then Nathan. They’re now both totally serious.
“Okay,” I say soothingly. Fuck. I know they’re feeling what I am—a mix of lust so strong it’s nearly buckling my spine, along with a streak of protectiveness that makes me want to just wrap her in bubble wrap and never let her out of this bed, along with a possessiveness that insists we be the ones to give her this fantasy and take her to this place. “Okay. We’ve got you,” I tell her, stroking my hand over her head. “We’ve got you.”
