“I’ll be damned if I sit back just to watch. Chaz may like it, but I’m more of a ‘hands on’ kind of guy. You understand, right Vance? Considering you’re the one crashing the party.”

Wrong thing to say, fucker.

And he fucking knows it. I smirk at him when he realizes he’s miscalculated, his eyes locked on her leaning against my body. I’m not sure what he’s reading on her face, but Susu stiffens and slowly looks him up and down. “This isn’t going to happen. I know this is a unique situation but poking at each other is going to become a problem real quick.”

“Theo has always had issues controlling his temper,” I add, thinking she’s on my side at the moment. The way she cranes her neck to look up at me tells me otherwise. Apparently, we’re both idiots.

“Not. Going. To. Happen.”

Her censure is biting, so I cup her face to keep her looking at me. She’s pissed, but there’s also a plea for me to back off. I sigh and press a kiss to her forehead. “Sorry, songbird. Won’t happen again.”

Her smile is a tad forced, but I can see the hints of exhaustion and stress behind it. This is harder for her than it is for us. One would think it wouldn’t be, but dealing with the temperaments of three older men has got to be stressful.

My eyes raise to look at Theo over the top of her, but he’s focused on the back of her head, frowning. He’s tense, shifting restlessly as if he wants to walk over to us, so I give him a break and jerk my head toward us.

“I’m sorry that this is so hard for you guys. I just don’t know what to do. Maybe it’s not fair for me to ask you all to be so accepting of—” She stops talking into my chest when Theo makes it over, pressing his body against her back.

I ignore his hands brushing against me as he wraps his arms around her waist. He curls over her and presses his lips against the side of her neck. “No, you’re right. We all agreed to give you some time.”

She shudders when he grazes his lips up to kiss her again behind the ear, before standing up and staring at me. Wordlessly, he drops his chin down to point at her, letting me know I need to say something as well.

Using a finger to hook under her chin, I lift her face up. Leaning down, I brush my lips across hers and whisper, “Agreed. All the time you need.” Kissing her, I can feel the way her lower lip is trembling. Soothing it, I nip at the plump flesh and then run my tongue across to ease her lips open for me.

My eyes are open, so I check in on Theo just before I slip inside her mouth. He’s watching us, but there’s no anger or jealousy. He looks curious, and when I deepen our kiss, I smile against her mouth when his nostrils flare and he steps closer to her.

Susu melts into the kiss, but then she must realize what she’s doing. She wrenches her mouth from mine, backing into Theo’s chest, and looks up at me with panic. Attempting to face him, she starts to make her apologies.

“I’m sorry, Theo. I—”

He grips the back of her neck and turns her face toward me. Bending down, he meets my eyes as he speaks softly into her ear. “It’s okay, baby. I want you to kiss him again.”

Swallowing loudly, she peers up at me, asking me for my opinion without voicing the question. I raise a brow to ask her if it’s alright, and she nods jerkily. Lifting my hands from her, I cup both of her cheeks before kissing her again. My fingers meet Theo’s where he’s still resting it on the back of her neck.

When I deepen it, he slips his hand free and moves them down her side, only to reach between us to cup her breast. His knuckles dig into my muscle as he plays with her, twisting her nipple hard enough that she gasps into my mouth.

Alright. There are certainly some pros to having an extra set of hands in these kinds of situations.

My dick thickens as we continue to roll our tongues together, inhaling her panting breaths on her every exhale. When Theo cups her other breast as well, Susu jerks her hips forward, forcing out a groan from deep in my chest at the contact.

One of her arms reaches back to Theo, pulling his face to her neck as her other one slides around to my back. Susu shivers when his beard scrapes against her skin, and I take advantage of how sensitive she is.

With a quick check, I see him dig his teeth at the base of her neck where it curves to her shoulder. Susu’s head drops back against him, and she cries out when I suck at the same area on the other side.Fuck, her skin tastes so good.Wanting more, I drag my teeth to a new area and suck harder.

Pulling back, I admire the reddened area that’s blossoming under her skin and smile at it possessively. No matter what happens later, when she looks in the mirror, she’s going to look atmymark on her.

Susu is shifting against me steadily, rolling her hips against my cock, driving my need for her higher. I lean away from her, dragging my eyes down and lift a brow when I see Theo’s hand buried between her legs. What he’s doing is hidden behind the cloth of her shorts, but it’s clear he’s at least two fingers deep right now.

I’m about to ask her if she’d like me to leave, but her hand tugs my hair, bringing me back to her mouth. “Please, Vance. I can see you thinking about leaving. I don’t want you to leave me.”

The way her voice cracks on her plea, I know I’m not fucking going anywhere. Flicking Theo’s arm to get him to move, he grunts as he frees his hand from between us and I yank her against me. “Tell me what you want from me, little songbird. You want me to stay and watch him fuck you?”

“I w-wantyou,” she whimpers, scrambling for me again. Theo, hearing what she wants, puts space between them. The way her eyes widen in panic as his heat disappears from her back hits me hard.She needs him just as much.

“Theo,” I warn, never taking my eyes from her face. She looks so goddamn worried that she’s just fucked things up.

Theo doesn’t reconnect them, but he does grip the back of her neck once more. Susu gasps when he tightens his grip to get her to focus. Keeping his body apart from her, he reassures her, and I’ve never been more thankful to him.

“Don’t worry about me, baby. I’m not going anywhere. I only want you to focus on what feels good and coming as hard as you can.” He’s watching when he says this, then adds, “As long as Vance is comfortable with me here?”
