“Aren’t you a sweet little piece of candy that needs unwrapped?” Asylum mused as she stopped in front of us.

She fidgeted nervously with the hem of the towel and bit her bottom lip.

“Shadow, why don’t you be a dear and let her sit on your lap?” Asylum asked without breaking his focus from her.

I cleared my throat, my heart pounding quickly. I knew he wanted me to do as he said, and I was game, but damn, I was still a little wasted and nervous.

He nudged me with his elbow.

“Uh, hey,” I said, reaching out and taking her hand in mine. I gave her a gentle tug and pulled her down onto my lap. I’d never had a girl sit on my lap like this before, especially one in a towel and as hot as Sirena was.

“Here.” Asylum got up and went to his closet and rifled around for a minute before coming back with a bottle of booze. He uncapped it and took a massive drink before holding it out for me.

“Social lubrication helps,” he said.

I took the bottle and tipped it back, drinking down a big mouthful. I needed all the damn help I could get.

To my surprise, Sirena snagged the bottle and slammed it back, drinking some down too.

“Nice,” Asylum said, grinning at her.

Her cheeks flushed pink at his praise. He gave her a wink before he pulled open his dresser drawer and brought out a joint.

Or at least I thought it was a joint.

“What’s that?” I asked, eyeing the white stick.

“Sugar,” he murmured, lighting it up and taking a deep drag. “Grade A shit. New on the scene. Well, fairly new. Try it. I think you’ll like it. And if you do, you’ll get to meet the Sugar Daddy real soon.” A glazed look crossed his face again, and he crinkled his brows. “Oh, my. How…tragic.” He frowned, looking frazzled at whatever he’dseen.

“I thought you weren’t going to get high anymore,” I said, taking the sugar from him and smoking it. The high hit immediately. I blinked rapidly as the warmth swept through me. “Holy tater tots.”

Asylum let out a burst of laughter before taking the sugar back as I gave him the finger. “Holy tater tots. Nice, you fucking dweeb.” He took another hit before moving forward and reaching for Sirena. He tilted her chin and leaned down before pressing his lips to hers. I watched as he blew the smoke into her mouth through the kiss he gave her.

“Let Shadow have some, firefly,” he murmured, releasing her.

She turned to me. My heart thrashed hard in my chest. Whenever she was close to me, I couldn’t keep myself calm. Kissing her was the most magical fucking thing I’d ever done in my life.

She brushed her lips tentatively against mine. I parted my lips for her, allowing her to deepen it if she so chose to.

And she did.

I inhaled the smoke from Asylum, relishing the high and the sense of calm it brought me. My worries and troubles seemed to melt away.

I managed to blow out the smoke quickly before pulling her to me for another kiss. She melted against me, making my high and buzz just that much more incredible.

I felt Asylum back away for a moment before I heard him pick my phone up from the bedside table.

I gently brought Sirena onto her back and continued to kiss on her. I didn’t touch her past gripping her bare thigh tightly.

“Touch her,” Asylum murmured.

What if I did it wrong? What if she hated it? What if I embarrassed myself again?

I’d fingered girls. I’d eaten pussy before. But this washer. Sirena. She was with the Watchers, and I knew damn well they knew what they were doing. Not that I’d ever had any complaints from girls before, but this was different.

“Get out of your head,” Asylum called out softly. “You know how to do this. Touch her pussy.”

I groaned against her lips, trying to calm myself. Trying to get myself to basically man-up and take what I wanted for so damn long.
