“Okay, so you jerked off the guy that doesn’t talk to you, the guy who’s your coach and the guy who’s your friend? Which is also the same guy who asked you to go to a sex club in the first place?”

I grumble. “I don’t know why you’re asking. You seem to know everything already.”

“Dude,” Dani draws out the word, and we both sigh.

After a few moments of silence, she says, “Do you know what you’re doing?”

I lick my lips as I lay in bed, cuddled in my sheets, still in the clothes I wore to the club because it smells like them. Parker hugged me when I got out of the car to go back to my house, so their scent is all over my dress.

“I think so. It was all consensual and… I’m friends with Parker and I trust him. I don’t think he would have any ulterior motives. He’s just not that type of guy. Plus, they were reallycommunicative and made sure that this is what I wanted, and I said yes.”

“Even Elijah?” she asks.

“Yes, even Elijah.” I sigh into the phone, remembering all the dirty things he said to me. It makes me clench my thighs. I always took Elijah to be a silent man, but maybe I was wrong. The tension filling that room was palpable and the taboo nature of it make me wonder if Elijah not talking to me was protection rather than a dislike of me. Which, of course, didn’t keep me from not liking him.

“Okay,” Dani says. “Just make sure that you protect yourself, okay? These are billionaires and CEOs. They have the best lawyers and the best poker faces. If shit goes sideways, they’ll be fine. You… maybe not.”

“I know.” I take in her warning, but I don’t think I need it. Call it me being naïve, but I think this might end well. Though this might’ve changed the dynamic between us. What first began as a way to make my shitty night better showed us what we can be like together, and I like it. And based on how they seemed not to want the night to end, Parker giving me an extra-long hug, Nicholas taking time dressing me and Elijah taking the long way home, I feel like they want this too.

“Well, good night, Haruko,” I hear Dani yawn, and I feel my eyelids suddenly get, the adrenaline of the night wearing off.

“Night.”

We hang up and I put the phone in my drawer. I dream about being with my three bosses. A dream that felt so real for a moment. I believed it was. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier in my life.

Chapter 10

Nicholas

Holy shit. I justhad sex with Haruko. Okay, technically I didn’t fuck her, but I touched her. I rubbed her clit until she came while Parker fucked her face and Elijah fingered her.

I’m in so much trouble.

Not ethically, though, that’s definitely part of it. I mean my heart. Because I’ve never seen a sight more beautiful in my life than Haruko coming by our hands. It was magical. She let go, her lips parted, and fell apart.

Until this point, my imagination was all I lived by. Guesses of what Haruko would look like when she was being pleasured. But now that I know she’s the picture of my perfect woman.

Funny, sweet, smart, and kinky.

I’m so fucked.

All of us are.

After dropping off Haruko at her house, we said our goodbyes and headed to our place. All three of us sat in our house, drinking a glass of whiskey as we contemplated what had just happened.

There were so many surprises in a brief span of time. Haruko tasted delicious. After she came, I licked her juices off my fingers and openly groaned. Elijah took part and talked dirty to her. I didn’t know he had it in him. But goddamn, that mouth of his is filthy. And she enjoyed being watched. I love how flushed she got as she saw those people watching her get off.

Parker breaks the silence.

“Well, I can’t decide if that was a good or bad thing.”

We turn to Elijah, expecting him to say that it was bad, but he just stares into the distance. I can tell by his eyes that he’s repeating every moment of tonight in his head.

“If anything, she got to know a bit of what she likes. Got to experience it and knows she has a place to go again if she wants,” I say.

That last part is bitter on my tongue.

Yeah, she knows she can go to Club Sin to explore her kink, but that doesn’t mean we’ll be the ones to play with her. The thought of another man getting to touch her makes my stomach tense, so I down the rest of my drink, tell the guys I’m taking a shower then go to bed.
