She blushed, giggling. “Sorry.”

“Don’t be sorry,” I said. “We’re going to find Corentin, okay? I got the rendezvous point to drop off the ransom. It’s in two hours. We’ll go there, intercept the guy, get him to take us to Corentin, and this will have a happy ending. First, though, if I’m going to be able to focus on that, I probably need to do something about this crazy hard-on I have.”

“Yeah, you should be at your best,” she said. “I think we can make it work in the backseat of the car. We just need to get clear of this shack and find a nice, remote spot for you to knot me.”

“You want me to knot you, huh?”

“Oh, very, very fucking much,” she breathed. “You don’t mind if our first time is in a car?”

“Next time, we’ll definitely do it in a bed,” I said.

She smiled. “Next time for sure.”

DMITRI WAS LYING between Corentin and me on my bed. We were all naked and covered in sticky come. My ass was tender and pulsing, sore, and I liked it, because it reminded me of being claimed there by Dmitri.

He had an arm around me and I was lying on his chest, cheek against his chest hair, happy, sated, fucked.

Corentin was propped up on the pillows and had his arm around Dmitri, who was sometimes kissing the head of the snake that was tattooed onto Corentin’s neck affectionately.

We were having a conversation about Dmitri’s schedule.

“Well, what about us, the three of us?” Corentin was saying in a lazy voice. “Is that on the schedule?”

“No,” said Dmitri. “I guess I didn’t think about that. I’d also fucking love to have you and Nikolai at the same time, Corentin. I’d love to have you submit to him and to take his knot or to suck him on your knees or to do exactly what we just did, me dipping in and out of both of your asses… maybe both of you on your knees and fighting over which of you could suck my cock? Or me on my knees, and trying to suck both of your cocks. I’d love to do all of those things.”

“I’m in,” said Corentin.

“Or you and me, alone, Corentin,” said Dmitri. “Or you and me, alone, Johannes, would you be open to that?”

“Uh huh,” I said. “But this is just more reason not to have a schedule at all. It’s too complicated to keep track of all the permutations, and it’s borderline like being in a dictatorship.”

“It is a dictatorship, but you like it,” said Dmitri, reaching down to cup my balls. “Say it, Johannes.”

“Mmm, you’re a very sexy dictator,” I said wryly. “But I’m serious as all hell, Dmitri, we need to make a line between what’s cool in bed and what’s cool in our relationship, and you cannot order us all around all of the time.”

“True,” agreed Corentin. “I mean, technically, I think you can. You’re not wrong that we all kind of belong to you, Dmitri, but, uh, you shouldn’t.”

“No?” Dmitri kissed Corentin’s neck. “Why not?”

Corentin laughed helplessly. “I mean, I hate you, for one thing.”

Dmitri lifted up his head and looked down at him. “You said you loved me.”

“While we were fucking, which everyone knows doesn’t count.”

Dmitri sighed, laying his head back down on Corentin’s body. “It counts for me. I love you now. I don’t mind at all. I was insecure about you and Aurelie, but now I think it’ll be just fine. I feel complete now, actually, Corentin, like you were this last piece that I needed. And Johannes? You were here before, but now, it’s different. When I made you come on command, did you feel it, too?”

I had felt it, of course. It felt right to submit to him. He was the fucking pack leader. “Dmitri, I do like this,” I said cautiously. “I like everything we are together, and I even feel easier about submitting to you. But… uh, I think we need to talk about what I was saying before, about letting yourself submit to one of us.”

Dmitri laughed. “Look, I don’t submit. I’m an alpha.”

“Yeah, but we are both alphas, and we submit,” I said.

“True,” said Corentin. “I guess I figured I was just… I mean, I wasn’t always an alpha.”
