Strange, that she’s smiling now. She wouldn’t have before… before she got shot.

Strange, how much I want to see that smile.

All the anger I’d had inside me has evaporated. Maybe it’s the guilt I still feel for having almost killed her. Maybe the whipping had finally cleared my head.

“Not my ass,” she warns me. “I still haven’t recovered from that.”

“It’s been weeks,” Nikolai says, deadpan. “You’renotstill recovering from that.”

“Maybe we should stuff both our cocks into your cunt,” I suggest.

Sierra immediately shakes her head. “No! Absolutely not. Jesus, Yuri. You’re insane if you think I’d ever agree to that.”

“Who says you have to agree?” Nikolai retorts flippantly. “C’mon. Get on the bed.” He tugs on her hand, drawing her closer to my bed, then smirks at me. “Which hole do you want?”

“Oh my god,” she laments. “The two of you are cavemen.”

“We aregentlemen,” I correct. I get on the bed and lie back. “Do you want to ride me, Sierra?”

Her eyes gleam as she looks at me. “Can I ride your face?” she asks, so innocently that it takes me a second to realize what she’d asked.

Nikolai cracks up laughing. “You’ve created a monster, Yura.”

“Sure,” I answer. “I guess that means Nikolai has to work my cock, since you’ll be busy.”

“Nikolai could take you up his ass, Yuri,” she says, her voice still sweet.

Nikolai nearly chokes as he stops laughing. “Uh. Fuck no.”

“You’re such a prude,” she says. “I shouldn’t be the only one getting stuffed all the time.”

“You absolutely should,” Nikolai argues. “Some holes are exit-only.” He glances at me. “I mean, unless you’re Yura.”

Heat fills my face, but I push past that. “I don’t mind either way. I mean, if Nikolai can figure out how to make it feel good. I don’t know if we can trust him with that.”

Nikolai makes an aggrieved sound. “Yeah, sorry. Not ready for that.”

“Not ready?” Sierra asks, looking curiously at him as she finally climbs onto the bed and gestures for me to follow. “Does that mean you will one day?”

“I don’t fucking know,” he mutters, which is more than I would’ve expected out of him.

I make a frustrated sound. “I meant… I don’t mind being in the middle.”

“It’s fine,” Sierra says. “We could…” She trails off, and heat floods her cheeks. “I could suck your cock while you… you know.”

“Oh, now she gets shy,” Nikolai says with a snort. “You wanna 69? I guess I can watch if I can fuck you after.”

“You’ll give your permission?” she asks, shaking her head in amusement. “Thanks, I guess, Your Majesty.”

I don’t know how to feel about the small stab of disappointment. I didn’t necessarily want to get fucked by Nikolai anyway. If I do that with anyone, it should be with Kotya.

“That sounds good.” I kiss Sierra. “Who do you think is gonna come first?”

“With the way you use your tongue?” she asks, brushing back some of her dark hair from her face. “I’ll probably come twice before you come once.”

“This is going to take forever,” Nikolai complains.

“Well, you could always fuck Yuri while we’re busy,” Sierra retorts. “You’re the one who’s too insecure about his masculinity to fuck another man.”
