“Wearing your shirt, and being so aroused, she smells like you and her combined,” Landon says quietly. “That’s a heady fucking combo.”

Kerrington smiles as he looks over at me,holding his hand out for me to take. I lace my fingers with his and we walk like we didn’t just have a scene in the middle of the parking lot.

“Where are we?”

“You’ll see.” Landon grabs my other hand, and I have a moment where I instinctively want to pull away from them both. People are going to think we’re a throuple. They’ll judge.

Sex in public aside, this feels more taboo. More real. More vulnerable.

But the look of pure joy on Landon’s face stops me from letting go. I wish I was more like him. He genuinely lives life exactly how he wants and if someone else doesn’t like it, that’s their problem, not his. I want to give no fucks about what everyone else thinks of me, just like he does. So, I squeeze his hand harder and then do the same with Kerrington. They both return the favor, which brings me relief.

Until Kerrington lets go and puts his hands in his pockets.

Why does that feel like a rejection?

He’s always been like that. Whenever I catch him glancing at me, he looks away with this annoyed expression on his ridiculously handsome face. I can’t tell if it’s an act or not. But when he touches me… kisses me… fucks me… I swear I’m his entire universe. That’s how he makes me feel. I’m not just special, and I’m not just a good time. I’m hiseverything.

Talk about being delulu.

Wow. I need therapy.

“After you,” Landon says, opening the door to the shop.

Holy mother of dildos.

“We’re retail therapy shopping in asex toy store?” I whisper-yell.

“This is the boundary conversation center.”

Kerrington is already heading over to the cock rings.

Oh my god, I can’t believe they brought me here. I wouldn’t be caught dead in a store like this back at home. “And how are we discussing boundaries here,Trick?”

He comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my middle, rocking me side to side. “Peruse and bring us five things you want to use. Also point out products that are a hard limit for you. And if you don’t know if you’re into something or not, put it on the counter and we’ll discuss.”

I can’t just openly shop like that. I feel too seen. “I’m not sure I’m comfortable with this,” I admit.

“The toys or the store?”

“Shopping for this stuff in public.”

“Okay.” He hooks his arm with mine. “No buying from here then. We can look in person and buy online. No biggie.”

Some of the tightness in my chest eases.

“What did you find, Kerr?” Landon steers us towards the back, where Kerrington is nowstudying a wall of whips and crops.

“Duchess, do you like being spanked?”

I gawk at Kerrington. He knows the answer. He’s spanked me before. But the way he’s patiently waiting for me to use my words has me opening my fat mouth. “Umm. Yes. I mean, I liked it when you bent me over your lap and used your hand last time.”

Kerrington’s smile goes a mile wide, making him look devastatingly handsome. He’s already got the broody, dark haired, sex in a suit thing going on. That genuine smile makes him look like a very good, bad idea.

He plucks a flogger off the wall that has soft fabric roses on the tips.

“We’re going to buy online instead,” Landon whispers discreetly.

Kerrington nods in understanding and goes to hang the flogger back up on the wall when I stop him.
