“This time won’t be.”

Um, what?

I blinked rapidly, sucking my lip between my teeth as I slowly took a step back from him.

“This time?”

The room suddenly felt warmer, the walls closer together.

“Why don’t you stand over here, Arianna?” Damien purred, nodding at a spot between their three chairs and the front of Hunter’s desk.

It felt like everything was moving in slow motion as I found myself nodding; I put one foot in front of the other, moving to stand where he’d asked me to.

And I had no idea what I was doing.

“Did you enjoy yourself the other day, Arianna?” Sean said darkly, his hand coming up to stroke his jawline.

“I— I don’t know.”

“You don’tknowor you’d rather not say?” Hunter growled.

“The second,” I whispered.

“We demand full honesty from our employees, Ms. Holloway,” Damien said, his eyes narrowing. “Especiallyone working sointimatelywith the three of us, such as yourself.” His eyes flashed at me as the corners of his mouth turned up.

“So I’m going to ask ask you again, and I want you to tell thetruth, Arianna.”

His hungry grin widened.

“Did youenjoy yourself?”

And before I could stop myself, before I could question any of this and go running from that office…

I nodded.

“Yes,” I said quietly, my face going red. “Yes, sir.”

The three of them grinned, and IsworeI heard one of them groan.

“You enjoyed thinking about the three of us, didn’t you?” Sean’s dark eyes bore into mine.

I nodded. “Yes.”

God, what was I doing? This wasn’t a dirty late-night fantasy, this wasreal life. This was me standing in front of all three of my gorgeous, impossibly attractive and imposingly dominant bosses and telling them that I’d enjoyedfantasizingabout all three of them while I’d made myself come.

Oh, right,in front of them.

Hunter nodded, clasping his hands in front of him as his gaze slowly moved over my body, leaving a heated trail in it’s wake.

“We’d very much like to see that again, Arianna.”

My heart jumped into my throat as my whole body shivered.

“You— I’m not sure I under—”

“I think you understandperfectly,” he said. Suddenly, he stood and moved right in front of me. I gasped as his hand slid up my bare arm and up over my shoulder. His fingertips trailed over the soft skin of my neck before tracing over my jawline.

“We...” His voice was rich and deep, right next to my ear, and I could feel the heat of his breath teasing across my skin.
