Tristan

This little beautyreally thinks she’s going to get away with whatever she planned. If she’d done her homework properly, she’d know she would lose. And there’s no backing out for her now.
I don’t appreciate the hold she has on us, though. It shouldn’t have taken one glance at her to make us instantly forget who we are. She’s a danger. To every part of us. Everything that makes us who we are.
Kaiser and Ren already bypassed all that and are ready to make her ours, any which way, but I’m a lot more cautious. Depending on who she’s affiliated with, what her mission is, and how determined she is to continue with said mission, those are all things I need answers on first.
The truth is, she fucking scares me. Yes, I’m six foot four, ripped, and can kill a man in two moves while making a fortune in stock at the same time. All three of us, me, Ren, and Kaiser, are dangerous and brilliant fucking psychos, and she’s all soft curves and sexy defiance.But she scares me.
I know why Ren and Kaiser, the only men in the world I trust with my life, want to keep her, whether it’s locked in a cage in the dungeon in our house or handcuffed to our bed. I feel it too. She reached inside our fucking minds and changed things, and now our bodies seem only to get hard for her, something we knew at first sight of her.
But I don’t like the way she makes my heart fucking thud, my cock so thick it hurts. I don’t like the universal hold she has on me, and if I find a reason to break it off, I will. No questions asked.
I’m prepared to ignore the raging war in my dick to fuck her immediately, to share her with my friends, my brothers, until I discover everything there is to know about her.
While our little intruder was fast asleep, we packed up our family and called our pilot, Higgins, to take them back home. We also told Higgins, a valuable member of our organization, to collect something for us on his return to the cabin. He knows better than to ask questions, but by the way Tina made a big fuss to tell Madisyn, ourgirlfriend,she’d call her later, Higgins knew there was a woman with us, and we weren’t allowing her to leave.
Suffice to say, our time away at Snow Rock is anything but peaceful.
“That’s a good story,” Ren remarks as she relays how she came to be in our cabin. “But it doesn’t quite explain the other strange things we found amongst your belongings.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she says. Oh, she’s just going to deny their existence entirely, is she?
“The canister and vial. The padded suit and gas mask?”
I half expect her to say the suit and mask are a Halloween outfit and the canister and vial are her accessories.
“They’re not mine. Maybe you’re just playing with me. Or someone else must have put them there.”
“You’re so fucking cute when you lie, you know that?” Kaiser chuckles.
In the short space of time she’s been in our company, we feel like we know her mannerisms pretty well already.
“I’m not lying,” she insists, her defenses up.
“Yes, you are,” I say. “When you speak the truth, like when you told us about the cheese, olives, grapes, and crackers, your eyes stay lit up. When you told us about the suit, mask, and what was inside your bag, essentially lying, a shadow passed over your eyes.”
“I don’t do...that,” she says, flustered.
I’ll admit she is fucking cute when she tries to lie on top of a lie. But she just let us know everything we need to know. I still don’t trust her. What we found in her bag says she sought us out, deliberately and strategically. Sent here either to kill us or get information. I need to know which. I need to know who she works for.
But whatever her plans were, they ended now. Afterward? I sigh inwardly. She’ll end up being our weakness. In our position, we shouldn’t have any weaknesses.
“Quit the lies and tell us the truth. Who are you working for?” Ren asks.
