“Fuck, Dec,” he groans, his focus locked on his best friend as he fills his hand.

Declan tenses above me. Breathing through his nose like this, he’s more bull than human. Trying to make sense of what just happened. Unsure of how to feel about Cade’s reaction. Trying not tofeel.

Thought after thought flutters through his mind in a matter of seconds.

Desperate for him to hold tight to the peace he possessed after tying me up, I press my palm flat against his pounding heart. The tension in his jaw relaxes, and he shifts so that he’s focusing solely on me.

“Are you okay?” he murmurs.

I smile up at him, flooded with warmth. “I’m perfect.”

Every second of the last hour has been exquisite. From the way he tied me up to the moment he finally pressed his lips to mine to the sex and the fucking and the orgasm. Every moment is imprinted on my skin like the marks this rope is sure to leave.

And all I can think is “When can we do it again?”

CHAPTER 23

Declan

“Please,”I beg, my voice raspy, my heart beating wildly.

Cade’s grin is devious as he drags his attention down from my face to my dick.“I like when you beg. Tell me, Dec. What do you want me to do to you?”

My hips buck of their own accord. My cock is so hard it’s painful. We both watch as arousal drips from me.

Cade licks his lips. He’s hungry for me, and fuck if I don’t want to know what it feels like when he runs that tongue around my tip. I watch him, taking in his blue eyes and the thick black lashes that make them seem impossibly bright.

“Come on, Dec. Just say it, and I’ll give you exactly what we both want.” He grins so wide that his dimple pops.

A groan rumbles from deep in my chest as I buck my hips again. He pulls back slightly and flattens his palms on my thighs, holding me still.

“Tell me. Tell me you want this as much as I do. Tell me you want me to suck your cock.”

“Now who’s the one begging?” I grumble. The words are rough, raw, as I force them past the fire burning me alive from the inside out.

“Is that what you need, Dec? You need me to beg?” He swipes his tongue along his lips again. Then, squeezing my thighs, his grip almost brutal, hetugs me closer. When he looks up at me again, the air between us sparks with electricity.“I’ve dreamed of sucking this cock for far too long. Please, Dec. Let me make you feel good.”

Catching my lip between my teeth, I cuff the back of his neck and tug him down. “Open,” I growl.

Without hesitation, he obeys, and I thrust into his mouth. The moment his hot tongue touches the underside of my shaft, we groan in unison, in desperation. I fuck his mouth with abandon. I’ve never been so hungry for another person. Never been so unhinged. I buck and grind against his face and?—

At the sound of a feminine whimper, my heart lurches, and my eyes fly open. It takes several seconds to register the sight before me. Her dark hair is fisted in my hand. Her body is fitted between my legs. And it’s her lips that are suctioned around my cock.

My lungs seize.Shit. I’ve been brutally fucking her throat.NotCade’s.

“Fuck,” I mumble, releasing her hair. “Fuck, Melina, I’m so sorry.”

She rolls her neck and smiles at me. “Don’t apologize. I liked it.”

I gasp for air, my heart pounding and my cock impossibly hard and wet. From her,not him.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

I can’t wrap my head around the dream I was having. Cade.

What. The. Fuck?

“Cade,” I rasp. Not an admission, but a warning. He’s not here. We shouldn’t be doing this.
