But really, these guys were getting predictable.

Right. And you’re going to complain about that?

Uh. She most certainly was not.

“I’m not accusing you of faking it. I’m guessing it’s not that easy to just let go. You’re guarded and you haven’t been in a relationship with a Daddy Dom before, let alone three.”

He drew the bottle of water away from her mouth. Then, to her surprise, he kneeled on the mat and laid her on her back in front of him.

“Eek! What are you doing?” she asked.

“You need to stretch,” he explained, grasping hold of one leg and bending the knee to stretch it up against her chest.

Okay.

This wasn’t the normal way she stretched after a workout, but she was too surprised to protest.

And she didn’t really want to protest anyway.

“Wait, three? Roman isn’t a Daddy.”

He shot her a look. “He’s definitely a Top. Out of the three of us, he’s the one who worries the most about what is best for you. And then he’s going to make sure you do what’s best. And before you know it, you’ll be doing it.”

Right.

He was right.

Roman was subtler with his commands. He wasn’t a commander like Alexei or a general like Salem.

But he still got his way.

Quietly, stealthily.

Huh. Sneaky devil.

She was going to have to watch for him, because Roman was the type of guy to sneak under your radar.

Alexei continued to stretch out her legs. “I get why you’d hold yourself back. Even unconsciously. Letting go can be scary. But we aren’t going to let you fall, Bunny.”

“I’m not sure I know how to let go.”

He nodded as he let her legs go and leaned over her. His hands were on the mat on either side of her head while he kneeled between her legs. “You’ll know when the time is right. Your Little side might just completely take over. And she might surprise you.”

Oh, she had no doubt of that.

“Just know I’ll be here to catch you. I’m not going anywhere. And neither are you.”

That last part was said in a rather ominous tone. But before she could think of how to reply, his mouth was against hers.

She sighed happily, sinking into the kiss.

That was until he pressed his body against hers. And she remembered where she was. And that she was sweaty and gross.

He drew back, raising an eyebrow. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m all stinky and gross.”

Maybe she shouldn’t have pointed it out. Perhaps he hadn’t noticed.
