“Nooo, I don’t wanna be horny about this,” Cam whined.

“Really?” River asked, voice all deep and velvety in his ear. “Not even a little?”

“No,” Cam mumbled, still pouting.

“Surprising. How do you think they did it? You think she pegged him?”

Warmth struck Cam’s gut. “Yeah, ‘cause she walks around strapped, River,” Cam drawled sarcastically.

“Just musing,” River teased. “I wondered why he kept rubbing at his shoulder. Makes sense if she bit him there.”

Cam tried to push the images out of his mind. She was his trainer; she wasmated.Fantasizing about her wasn’t going to help the situation at all.

But if her bite was on Dylan’s shoulder and his bite was on her shoulder…

“They did it at the same time. Bit each other, I mean,” Cam said.

“Oh, that makes sense,” River said. “Probably missionary, then.”

Cam gasped as River got an arm under Cam’s left one and flipped him over, crawling across his lap. “Straight people are so boring.”

Cam rolled his eyes. He knew River was baiting him, and damn him if it wasn’t working.

“Dylan’s definitely not straight,” Cam pointed out. “He’s totally checked out your ass before.”

“Doesn’t make him not straight,” River said. “I have a great ass. Appreciated by everyone.”

Cam let his hands settle low on River’s waist, grinding said ass into his lap. “I can’t argue with that.”

River leaned down, crushing their lips together briefly before trailing lower, nipping at his jawline and inhaling right at his pulse. Cam didn’t have much of a scent most of the time, but River claimed it was strongest after the gym. Cam tangled his hands in River’s dirty blond curls, tilting his own head to the side to give River more room.

The beta licked a stripe up his neck, and Cam shivered as the cool air met the damp skin when he nuzzled lower, at his collarbones.

“This could be Ashley,” River said, and bit at his skin.

Heat struck, low and heavy, and Cam floundered. Was River teasing? Or suggesting?

Cameron had to keep River a secret because of his management, because of his career. His fans loved him because of the fantasy, the idea that they could possiblyhavehim.

Cameron only wanted River.

And… Ashley. Now a package deal with Dylan.

Did he want to jeopardize his career?

River laved at his skin and it pulled Cam out of his thoughts. He didn’t have to make any decisions right now.

He pulled River’s head by his hair, combing his fingers through it. “Let them have their honeymoon phase first.”

“But you’ll think about it?” River asked.

Cam groaned and River dove back in to kiss him. “Just think about it.”

25. ADJUSTMENTS

ASHLEY

Ashley watched Dylan and Cam and River leave, knowing she had to finish the rest of her shift.
