“You’ll love every minute of it, baby.I promise.”
“Doubtful.”
Benson laughed, low and so damn sexy it ruined my panties.“You’re just going to have to wait and see, angel.”
I needed to end this before my body completely betrayed me.My clit had an opinion on the entire spanking conversation, and it didn’t match my brain’s.“Well, good chat.Gotta go.I need to be well rested for that chemistry exam tomorrow.”
“Jesus Christ, Esme, don’t you dare hang up on your daddies.We called to ask you about your friend.Lia.”
They’re just using you.
I shook away my sister’s nagging voice echoing in my head.“What about Lia?”I asked cautiously.
“Not for us, baby girl,” Malcolm rushed to interject.
“What about Lia?”I repeated through clenched teeth.There was too much going on with my friend that could hurt her, but having those three calling to question me about her bothered me on an entirely different level.
“Trevor,” Parker answered without further detail.
“Right.Trevor.”Amelia’s hookup.Her life was turning into a telenovela.“So, what doesTrevorwant to know?”
They paused, as if trying to read my tone, but they couldn’t.I didn’t know exactly what I was feeling, so they couldn’t have even guessed.
“Her name,” Benson finally said quietly.“I just need her full name.”
It was a simple thing to give them Amelia’s name.Letting them know she was a Durst would have answered so many of Trevor’s questions but would have exposed my friend in ways I didn’t know if she was ready for.Especially given the current state of her family.I wouldn’t have answered any of their questions, though, not a single one of them.
Because without loyalty, I had nothing, and I sure as fuck wasn’t giving up the only good thing in my life for those assholes.And yet, it was because of that loyalty to my friend that I completely understood why they were asking me questions about Amelia.
If a person could have heart emojis in their eyes, I would have seen them in Trevor’s the night before.
“What’s it worth to you?”I asked him.
“It’s not worth anything to me, baby.We’re just trying to help out our friend.Figured if he is even half as head over heels for her as I am for you, then he’s probably losing his mind right now not even knowing where she is.”
I tapped my finger on my chin, considering my options.There was no way I would give them anything on Amelia, but I could let her know Trevor was interested.I was not going to think about the whole “head over heels” comment Benson dropped on me.Insta-love wasn’t real…
Was it?
No.It couldn’t be.
What I was feeling was lust for all three of them.My heart didn’t know what it was talking about, hoping and wishing—demanding—to capture our daddies’ hearts.
But…maybe it was true for some people.If they were lucky.
“You can ask questions about her, but that doesn’t mean I’ll answer them.What I will do is play messenger on behalf of Trevor.Fair?”
“Are we negotiating?”Parker asked, his deep voice washing over my nerves in a way that made me melt into the bed.Astro and Otto gave me knowing smirks as they cuddled into each other, giving me a little space to enjoy the call.
“Negotiating would suggest a trade of some kind.But you weren’t willing to give me what I wanted earlier, so I’m going to assume you have nothing of value I want in exchange for those prized answers you called in search of.”
“But if we did put that on the table?”Parker persisted.
I huffed out a laugh.“You show me yours, and I’ll show you mine, Daddy.”
“Fucking Christ,” Malcolm practically whimpered.
