Page 59 of The Very Naughty List

As happy as I am that he seems to be getting used to me, I’m so ticklish that I’m afraid I’m going to accidentally kick him inthe face—and I’m pretty sure that would set us all the way back to square one. So I slowly pull my foot away, slipping it back beneath the covers.

The big hound dog looks up at me with plaintive, disappointed eyes for a second. Then he perks up his ears a little, swinging his head away from me as his attention shifts to something on the floor. His head bobs down and out of sight for a second, and then he pops back up with a pair of my panties between his teeth.

“Bruno,no,” I whisper, trying not to wake the brothers. “Bad dog! No more panties!”

I flick my foot at him, but he just stands there showing off the fact that he’s gotten ahold of my panties again, like it’s worthy of praise. I try to hook the edge of the panties with my toe, but as if he can sense that I’m attempting to steal them back, he darts away and barrels out of the bedroom door.

Shit.

He escaped, and he’s once again taken my panties hostage.

I slump back against the pillows between Sebastian and Reid, listening to the soft thudding sound of Bruno’s paws on the stairs. I hear the sound of a low male voice next, which must belong to Nick, since he isn’t here in the bed with us.

A minute or so later, he comes to stand in the doorway.

He’s wearing low slung sweats that cling to the bulge hanging between his thighs, and no shirt. The sight of him standing there shirtless, with muscles rippling and soft fabric outlining his massive cock, is enough to make a girl want for nothing else in life.

“Uh, I think these are yours,” he says, holding up the pair of panties that he’s holding delicately in his left hand.

I nod, then blink as I realize they aren’t even the pair that the dog just ran out the door with. They’re a different pair entirely that Bruno must’ve stolen some other time.

“Yeah. They are.” I grin, keeping my voice low. “And if you happen to see a light blue pair lying around somewhere, those are mine too. It would seem that your dog has a serious panty obsession.”

Nick’s face flushes deeply, and I laugh quietly as I sit up. Reid and Sebastian stir a little at the disturbance, each of them making low, muffled noises as they start to rouse from sleep.

“You can put those on the dresser,” I tell Nick. “And honestly, I don’t mind. It feels like a bit of a cheat to win my way to a dog’s heart with underwear, but hey, if it works, I’ll take it.”

Nick smiles at that, although the color doesn’t fade from his cheeks.

“Hedoeslike you,” he confirms. “I’ve never seen him take to anyone this fast. Hell, he’s still on the fence about my brothers.”

As if his ears have been burning from all our talk about him, Bruno pads back into the room at that moment, sniffing around on the floor as his ears hang low.

“No, Bruno.” Nick shakes his head, stepping into the room after his dog. “No more panties, you thief.”

But instead of listening to him, the dog comes closer to the bed and buries his nose against my foot again.

I lean forward, stretching out my hand to reach down and pet him on the head. Bruno lays his chin against the mattress, his jowls spreading out and making him look adorably melty as I rub his ears.

“Good boy,” I whisper. “That’s a good boy. No panties, just scratches.”

Beside me, Reid and Sebastian both sit up in the bed. Sebastian leans over and kisses me on the cheek, and Reid smiles, resting a hand on the top of my thigh. The feel of his warm palm against my skin ignites all of my nerve endings, which still feel hypersensitive from last night.

I was distracted by the dog when I first woke up, but now that everyone is awake, I’m suddenly very conscious of the fact that all three of the Cooper brothers fucked me mere hours ago.

Internally, I start to panic a bit, my mind racing.

Was that a mistake?

Do they regret it?

DoIregret it?

No, definitely not.

What happens now?

“Um, should we talk about this?” I squeak, glancing from one Cooper triplet to the next to the next. “I mean, about what happened? What exactly are we doing here?”
