Nikita started to moan, the sounds muffled by the shirt material, his head plopping back against Ledger’s shoulder again. His hips began to thrust forward and back, chasing after Ledger’s fist and his fingers greedily despite his earlier protests.

“You’re so easy, Niki,” Ledger taunted. “Are you this easy for everyone else?”

He shook his head.

“No?” He grunted. “I’m not sure I believe you, but I’ll pretend for now that I do.”

It shouldn’t matter anyway. Didn’t matter.

“No shame in being horny,” Ledger stated. He added a third finger, clamping down around Nikita’s dick when that had the other man doubling over. “I’m honestly surprised you’ve lasted this long. Go ahead and come for me, Tiger. I won’t blame?—”

Nikita let out a cry, dropping the shirt in the process as he twitched and came. His dick painted Ledger’s hand in white, and he continued to moan as he was wrung dry, the Devil not willing to let him off the hook until he was sure he’d gotten every last drop.

The moment Niki slumped forward, his forehead hitting the mat, Ledger took pity on him. He slid his fingers free, tugging on the back of his pants so he could peek down inside at the curves of his plump ass. He’d have to take the rest of Nikita’s clothes off for them to continue, but he could be nice and give the guy a moment to catch his breath first.

“You let go of the shirt,” Ledger settled his hands on Nikita’s hips and squeezed once, noting how even though he had to be exhausted, the other man stiffened at his words. “How should I punish you, I wonder? The possibilities are endless.” He pretended to think it over. “I got it.”

Ledger pulled Nikita’s body up, shifting out of the way so he was kneeling at his side with the thief on all fours. There was a noticeable puddle on the mat, right where he’d been a moment ago, and he pointed to it. “You made the mess, you clean it up.”

Nikita gulped. “Where are the?—”

“Nope,” he cut him off before he could finish asking for supplies. “With this.”

Capturing his chin, he pressed his thumb against Nikita’s lips until he opened for him, and then ran the pad of his finger across Niki’s warm tongue.

Nikita shook him off. “You can’t mean?—”

“Lick it up,” Ledger confirmed.

He stared at the come stains for a moment and then sighed, the sound defeated yet…hollow.

For some reason, it grated Ledge the wrong way, and he felt his annoyance rear its ugly head yet again, even as Nikita bent down to do as he was ordered.

Ledger grabbed him by the nape and hauled him back just before his mouth made contact with the mat. “Just kidding, Tiger. How about doing something else with that?—”

The sound of the door clattering open stopped him, and before he knew what he planned on doing or why, Ledger was pulling Nikita onto his feet and tucking him back into his pants. He’d just finished tugging his shirt into place when footsteps approached and came to a pause at his back.

“What’s this?” the familiar voice of Flix, a member of the Satellite, echoed around them, and Ledger schooled his features before turning.

So much for having all night.

CHAPTER 5

“What are you doing here?” Ledger draped an arm around Nikita’s shoulders, the touch casual yet somehow possessive.

It was tempting to lean away, but Nikita caught himself before he could make such a dumb move, stilling in Ledger’s hold. His mind was still trying to catch up with what had just transpired between them anyway. Never in a million years would he have ever guessed he’d get a hand job from one of the infamous Devils.

When Ledger had first suggested he pay with his body, he’d been certain he was kidding. That was why when he’d changed the rules and said he’d hit him instead, there’d been no surprise. Him wanting to hit Nikita had made a hell of a lot more sense than wanting to fuck him. And yet…

His gaze dropped to the come—his come—still on the mat at their feet, and he swallowed the sudden lump in his throat. Had Flix noticed it from where he was standing?

“Did I interrupt something fun?” Flix asked, ignoring Ledger’s question. “Didn’t realize you brought your toys here when no one else was around, Ledge. What? Your brother’s club not good enough for you? Thought Pavel had a flavor there for everyone.”

Nikita’s chest felt tight, but he kept his mouth shut and watched as they casually spoke to one another as though there wasn’t a crying man in the same room with them. They probably didn’t care. The Devils weren’t exactly known for being kind, and Flix…Nikita shuddered, but the movement somehow caught Flix’s attention.

A vee formed between his brow. “Hey, wait a second. Don’t I know you from somewhere?”

Ledger tensed. “You two are familiar?”
