"Yeah, yeah, promises, promises," he says flippantly, purposely goading as he bends over and pulls something out of the drawer. By the time he straightens, I've crossed the room and already behind him, my hand around his throat as I pull him into my chest, my erection pressed against his arse.

"Hmm, if I didn't know better, I'd say you were begging me to fuck you raw."

I love the way I can feel the roll of his throat as he swallows, the pulse in his neck beating against my thumb.

"I'm not going to reward you for being a dick, but if you behave the rest of today, I'll take you hard and fast." I reach down and swipe my thumb over his erect cock and bring it to my mouth and suck.

"Delicious."

And then I run my nose along his throat before I bite down on his shoulder, not hard enough to break the skin but enough to leave a mark, a promise of what's to come.

I've always been insatiable for this man, but it's as though Jessica's presence has opened a door in Pandora's box, and it's ramped up my feelings tenfold.

He lets out a deep moan, grabbing the back of my neck and pulling me in for a kiss.

"No, behave," I say against his mouth before nipping at his lip, as I did with Jessica only moments ago.

I'm turning the bacon over on the grill when I feel her. "Tea?" I ask before turning to face her and I move beside the oven and lean back against the counter. She's wearing a simple pair of skinny jeans and a plain black vest top. No matter what she wears or doesn't, she is hypnotising.

Using my finger, I beckon her towards me and love how she complies without hesitation; how I'd love to introduce her to Formidable one day with Noah and me.

I tug on her wrist and pull her into my body. Her hands go to my hips as if to steady herself as I wrap my arms around her waist.

"You look lovely," I say honestly, but it's not just her looks. It's so much more than that. "Are you okay after last night?" I ask.

"Yeah, I am." Her cheeks flush the most beautiful shade of crimson.

"Good because we have plenty more where that came from. You're ours now, little one."

She nibbles on her lower lip, a question shining in her eyes.

"What is it? Talk to me."

She looks over my chest before bringing her gaze to mine. "What do you mean by I'm yours now? You and Noah are together, so what does that make me exactly?"

I raise an eyebrow in understanding. "Ours. And we're yours. It means other than me and Noah, the three of us are exclusive to one another. We won't share you unless it's with each other." For now, this is just about the three of us.

Her eyes study my face for a moment. I've noticed it's a tell of hers. She's searching for a lie—an untruth.

Gripping the back of her neck loosely, I pull her toward me, needing her close, my other hand against her cheek.

"Jessica, you've been hurt physically and emotionally…" I cover her lips with my thumb before she can retort. "And as much as it pains me to see you at war with your head and heart, I also understand. So be patient with yourself while we earn your trust. I promise in time, you'll grow to trust us." And then I seal my words with a kiss. Even though expressing my feelings and voicing them doesn't come easy to me, I know she needs to hear them and for me to show her.

She deserves to see the truth in my words and my promise.

It’s a claim as I devour her mouth with vigour. Lifting her onto the kitchen counter, I spread her legs and stand between her thighs, caging her in as she melts into the kiss.

A low whimper escapes her, causing my dick to twitch. This woman has no idea how much power she has over me already—over us. I slow the kiss before pulling back. Her eyes flutter open, pupils blown wide.

"Yeah, little one, you have the same effect on me, too," I say, nipping her bottom lip gently before gripping her hips and lifting her off the counter and back to her feet. "Come." I take her hand and guide her to the table, pulling out the chair with my free hand and ushering her to sit.

Such a simple act, and yet she seems entirely thrown by it. Once she's seated, I crouch down so we're at eye level.

"You'll need to get used to us taking care of you, in every meaning of the word, little one." It's a promise and declaration all rolled into one, and if I thought she was blushing before, it has nothing on her now.

"Noah is going to drive you to your appointment this afternoon. And then tomorrow, we thought we could take you out on an official first date."
