Page 86 of Tempted By her Daddies

He cupped her face. “First of all, you’re being so brave asking us these questions, I’m very proud of you.”

A flush filled her face.

He was pretty certain that being praised was rare for her. And that angered him. But he’d just need to ensure that she received plenty of it from now on.

“Secondly, I would very much like to be your Daddy when you’re Little and your Sir when we’re playing. I always want to be in charge, but the rest of the time, I’m Salem.”

“I like being your Rome,” Roman told her. “I don’t know about being a Daddy, sorry.”

“That’s okay, I understand.”

“I’m Papa,” Alexei said suddenly. “I like Papa.”

“All right,” she whispered.

“But you can call me Alexei the rest of the time. Or, you know, sexy, handsome, gorgeous, or my personal favorite, intelligent, gorgeous sexy god.”

“I might stick with Alexei,” she told him.

He huffed out a breath. “All right. A bit boring, but I suppose that’s fine.”

She grinned as Salem barely refrained from rolling his eyes.

“Thank God you chose that option,” Roman told her. “His ego would be out of control if you chose the others.”

“Shut your mouth!” Alexei replied. “My ego is already as massive as other parts of me.” He winked at Tamsyn.

Another giggle.

Salem shook his head. “Back on track. Rules for the relationship. Roman?”

“Right. Yes. I wrote some down. On my phone.” Roman stood and retrieved his phone.

“I thought you would have them memorized,” Alexei said.

“I do,” Roman said as he sat on the coffee table with his phone. “But it’s good to check them off.”

Salem nodded.

“These two.” Alexei pointed to them both. “All checklists and emotional check-ins.” He shook his head as though in disgust, but Salem knew he was listening as Roman went through everything.

“Number one is communication. We need you to tell us if something is wrong. If you’re upset or hurt or angry.”

There was a glimpse of worry on her face.

Shit.

He knew this was likely a lot.

“If you need us to back off, that’s fine, but we just need you to tell us if you need time to yourself,” Salem said.

“Wait, wait,” Alexei held up a hand. “I never agreed to that. Time to herself? Why would we want to give her that? Having time to yourself just means thinking more. And that’s never a good thing.”

“What’s wrong with thinking?” Roman asked.

“Then you start to overthink shit and nothing gets done. Just act.” Alexei folded his arms over his chest, giving them all a stubborn look.

“People can have time to themselves,” Salem said.
