Page 15 of Enforced Love

I opened my mouth, but Heath spoke instead.

“No, she didn’t,” he said. “No more than we used her last night. She didn’t know who we were any more than you knew who she was.”

Yeah, that was right!

Wait a minute.

Wait a fucking minute.

“Than he did?” I queried, pulling free and turning to face Heath. “Don’t you mean ‘we’?”

Heath sighed and shook his head.

“Son of a bitch,” Dracon burst out. “You knew? That’s why you pointed her out last night and pushed to take her back with us.”

I almost laughed at Dracon’s choice of words. Pushed. Like any of us believed Dracon hadn’t wanted me.

“Yeah, I really had to push you to get you interested in taking her back to the shuttle with us,” Heath said. He laughed. “Hell, you two are so much alike it’s not even funny. You even think alike.”

I looked over at Dracon and sighed when I saw both he and I were standing in the same pose. Yeah, we were both a little arrogant and cocky. But I wasn’t an asshole.

“How did you know who I was?” I asked, ignoring Dracon again. “How could you know we’d be paired when even I had no idea?” My dad was my commander and he didn’t know. How could Heath?

“Perhaps, it would help if I formally introduced you to my partner,” Dracon drawled. “Enforcer Heath Diamato.”

Holy shit! So Heath was the Liege Commander’s son. What the hell had I gotten myself into?

“Wait a minute,” I said as things clicked in my head. “You knew who I was and still took me back to the shuttle where, I presume, we’ll spend the next six weeks together? What the fuck? Did you need to make sure the pussy was good enough? You plan on making me your personal sex slave instead?”

Heath gave a weary sigh and ran his hand through his short hair. “I’m not going to demean what took place between us by answering that.”

“How can you demean what was simply a good fuck?” I asked before Dracon could. I had some pride.

There was fire in Heath’s gaze when he looked at me. “Don’t cheapen yourself or us. I planned to seduce you from the moment my dad told me we’d be partnered with a female Enforcer and sent to the fifth. I started watching vids of you, of your training and things caught on mission cams. You fascinated me. I’ve never seen a woman as incredible as you.”

“You watched vids of me?” I asked, stunned. Those were supposed to be kept in-house. But hell, whose son was he? The Liege Commander’s. He probably had access to things the rest of us didn’t.

“So that’s what you were doing in the screening room every night,” Dracon sighed.

“Yeah,” Heath said and looked at me again. “And somewhere along the way, I started wanting more than just a seduction. If you had to go with a pair of guys for six weeks, I wanted it to be us. I didn’t want just a female partner. I wanted a partner in our downtime, too. You’re everything I’ve always looked for in a woman. You’re strong and tough, and the way your mind seems to work makes me hotter than hell.”

I looked at him and, honestly, didn’t know what to say for a moment. “What are you saying?” I was sure my confusion was perfectly conveyed by both voice and expression.

“Hell, I don’t know,” Heath said, and I saw he was frustrated. “I’ve handled this whole thing badly.”

“You think?” Dracon said, and I swear his lips tipped up into a brief grin.

“Shut up,” Heath barked and turned back to me. “I’m sorry. I should have said something up front, but I knew you’d shy away from us if you knew we’d be working together.”

Hell, what exactly had those vids shown?

“The thing is we can make this work,” Heath said. “We can be as relaxed or formal as you want in our downtime on the shuttle. I was selfish. If we can handle six weeks together, then I see no reason why we would ever need to be separated. We can be the first triad Enforcer squad. The three of us could pave the way for other units like us.”

“So a woman can join the Enforcers if she’s willing to spread her thighs or ass or perhaps get on her knees and service her partners?” I asked outraged.

“That’s not what I’m saying, damn it!” Heath exploded.

“Then what the hell are you saying?” I demanded.

He sighed. And it was Dracon who answered.

“He’s saying that if we can show how compatible the three of us are, how in forming a triad we work better as a unit, then we can pave the way for other units just like ours.” Dracon smiled at me, and I winced at the bruise on his face. He laughed and rubbed his cheek. “Yeah, you pack a hell of a wallop.”

“Sorry about that,” I said, but he just laughed. Probably, he could tell I was actually pretty smug about it.

“So you want us to be a unit, period?” I asked. “All the time?”

“Yeah, I do,” Heath said. “But the decision is entirely in your hands.”

I sighed. Great. It was up to me how we spent our downtime. I glanced between them, and my pussy clenched, my nipples swelled and pushed against my T-shirt. It wasn’t a matter of whether or not I’d choose to be with them. It was a matter of how long I’d punish them. The only downside was I’d be punishing myself, as well.
