“This goes in your pussy,” he says, and I take a breath, heat rising in my face. “And this”—he gestures to the protruding piece of silicone—“will be at your clit.”

I swallow hard, nodding.

“I will have control of it from a distance,” he says, a growl in his voice. “I want you to count how many times you come before I get back to fuck you properly.”

I squeeze my thighs together as my clit throbs, turned on just from his words. “I feel like I just did,” I say in a small, teasing voice.

There’s a hunger in his eyes, like he wants nothing more than to grab me and kiss me. I hold up a hand. “I’m still on the clock, remember?”

He draws a short breath through his nose, straightening his back. “Yes. Right.”

As he steps away from me, his movements seem pained, forced.

“I’ll see you… later.”

“Do you know what time you’ll be back?” I ask, already eager.

He shakes his head. “I’m not sure. I’ll text you if I think it’s going to be particularly late, though. We almost always wrap up by midnight.”

With that, Cole leaves. I head back downstairs to get Archie ready for bed. He’s sitting in the front room—which has come to be something of an art room for us—coloring on a discarded newspaper with crayon.

“Alright, bud,” I say. “Your dad just headed out, so you know what that means.”

He sits up. “Party?”

“Bath time,” I say, eliciting an exaggerated groan.

Getting Archie to bed is as easy as ever, and I take extra care with his bath and nighttime routine. Once he’s snuggled up in bed, I slip out of his room and head quickly back to my own, shutting the door gently.

The vibe is sitting on my dresser, waiting for me. I pick it up, letting my fingers run over the soft, lavender-colored silicone. Then I take a deep breath and move to the bed.

I’m already a little bit wet just from Cole’s instructions, but I slather some lube on the vibe anyway to make sure it’s easy to slide it inside. Once it’s in place, I pull out my phone to text Cole.

ME: I’m ready.

COLE: Good girl.

I catch my breath, clenching my legs in excitement.

Chapter 24

Cole

I hold my phone under the table so that the guys can’t see my text conversation. When Riley’s message pops up on screen, I allow myself a brief, satisfied smile.

I type my response, then look back up at the other two.

We’re at Declan’s place tonight. Sophie was around earlier, but an old friend from college showed up for a night on the town, so she headed out a while ago. It was hard to miss the pure love in Declan’s expression as she kissed him on her way out the door.

Reed and Declan have been making the usual chitchat, but I’ve had trouble focusing on the conversation—waiting for that exact text from Riley. As Declan deals out a new hand, I play with the vibrator’s remote in my pocket.

I turn it on.

Declan and Reed pick up their hands, and a second later, so do I. I’ve been on a slight delay all evening.

Two fours, a six, and an ace.

I adjust the vibrator, turning up the speed. I imagine the sounds Riley must be making right now. I wonder if that cute flush is spreading over her cheeks.
