And everything stops.

No buzzing. No fingering. No spanking or caressing.

Gone. It’s all gone.

My heart stumbles and I gasp for air. Too many mixed emotions fly out of me at once and I scream. “Make me come!”

Kerrington shakes his head. “Not yet. Earn it, Nicole.”

Hearing my real name is like being doused with ice water. I climb out of Landon’s lap, ready to commit murder.

The buzzing in my ass starts up again, and my legs give out. Slamming to the floor, I groan and try to collect my scattered thoughts. I just want to be blown apart. I need to be messy and numb. Gone. Desperate, I crawl over to the boxes of toys and rip open the one with the rabbit. I’m so wet, it’s easy to push it inside me. The batteries aren’t in it, so the vibration doesn’t work.

I don’t care. Fucking myself harder with it, I clench my teeth and squeeze my eyes shut.

Landon leans forward, his elbows on his knees, and he arches his brow at me. “Don’t you dare come yet, Duchess.”

His tone makes me freeze and an awful animalistic sound rips from my throat.

I can’t imagine what I must look like right now. On the floor. Naked. Sweaty. Bright red handprints all over my plugged-up ass. Arousal slick on my thighs. My cunt stuffed with a purple rabbit fresh out of a box.

I need…

“Help,” I squeak as the tears finally flow. My head drops and I cry so hard, I don’t evenhear them approach me.

“Shh,” Landon lifts me up, and the rabbit falls to the floor. The buzzing stops in my ass next. “We’ve got you, Nicole.”

“Don’t say my name,” I sob.

My real name means the scene is over and I can’t let this be over.

“Trick, please,” I cling to him, my grip stretching out his shirt.

“Jesus Christ,” he whispers. Then he looks over at Kerrington, and that makes me feel worse.

“I ran that morning because I can’t have you both. And I’ve lost weight because I can’t eat. I’ve worked myself into the ground, and all I do is… all I can think about is…” My heart’s hammering so hard it hurts to breathe. “I just want this for a little longer.Please.I know I have no right to ask, and I’m sorry, but I need this.”

Landon’s blue eyes turn glassy and his brow furrows. “You need what exactly?”

“You,” I confess. “I needyou.”

Chapter 13

Landon

Have you ever had everything you’ve ever wanted in your hands and then suddenly it’s ripped away from you? That’s what happens when Nicole says she needs me.

My heart leaps for joy a second before it shatters when I see the devastation on Kerrington’s face.

I’m going to lose them both because I refuse to choose one over the other and I’m praying I will never have to. But for that dream to come true, I need to make things clear.

“Nicole,” I cradle her against my chest.

“I’m sorry, and I know it’s selfish, but I do. I need you.” She sobs into my shirt. “I needbothof you.”

Kerrington stumbles back and the relief on his face makes me suspect that he…holy shit… He’s in love with her, too.

He’s not afraid of losing me like I am him. He was bracing to loseher.
