Page 14 of Room One Hundred and Eleven

Just like when he carried me upstairs, they feel too good strapping me to him.

Though I thrash, he refuses to relent. Aiden and Knox secure my wrists and legs, pinning them so I can’t move an inch.

“Get your filthy rich hands off of me. Right now!” I bite someone, I don’t even know who, in my desperation to escape.

Instead of wailing, they groan.

What the heck is wrong with them? And why do I like it?

“If you can look me in the eyes right now and tell me you don’t want us coming deep in your tight little pussy, one after the other, making you scream with pleasure, I’ll let go.” Carter is dead calm. Quiet, stern, and immovable in a way that makes me focus on his every word.

When I still and consider what should be an easy denial…it’s not.

Spitting rejection in his face would be satisfying. Except, I can’t do it.

That’s not the part of their plan I object to.

A slow grin spreads across his handsome face. He’s older than Aiden and Knox, both of whom have at least five years on me.

Wiser too, I suppose.

Because despite my brain’s efforts to convince my mouth to move, I can’t bring myself to lie.

“That’s right, beauty.” He slides one hand up to my neck and squeezes lightly. “Settle.”

“You ran because you feel it too.” Aiden shuffles up behind me, sandwiching me between them. “This connection. Our chemistry. It’s intense. It’s okay to be frightened. You don’t need to be, though. We’re going to take care of you.”

“No, I ran because I had no idea you expected…you know. That thing Carter said. Breeding.” Okay, fine, maybe there’s more than one reason. But that’s the most important of them.

“I can’t believe Gunner let you sign our papers without reading them.” Carter’s eyes grow stormy, and his fingers tense on my throat.

Crap, I can’t have him causing a problem with my boss! “He told me to. So did Fitch.”

“But you didn’t listen?” Knox groans. “I finally understand how annoyed these two are with me when I do something reckless.”

“I should put you over my knee,” Carter growls. “Maybe I still will. But first, you’re going to go in your room and read that damn contract. Every. Single. Word.”

“I am?” I blink up at him when he slowly releases me, letting me slide down his entire front.

“She is?” Knox stares at Carter like he’s lost it.

“Yes, you are.” Carter dips his hand into the pocket of my dress. He caresses my hip as he retrieves my keycard. My knees go weak, but Aiden is still behind me, ready to hold me up when I need his support.

Carter taps the metal rectangle on the reader of the door in front of us then swings it open.

That’smyroom?

“Get in there. You have fifteen minutes to go over every detail and give us your final answer.” He points, the three of them forming an impenetrable wall across the hallway so there’s only one direction to go.

“And if I still say no?” I bite my lip as I glance up at them from beneath my lashes.

“We’ll forget this ever happened and find someone else who says yes.” Carter is cold then, like shutters snapped over his brooding soul.

Knox and Aiden look to each other and gulp.

Do they want me as much as I want them?

Maybe it’s not as bad as Carter made it sound?
