Page 76 of Don't Lie To Me

I know I have to be specific so they can’t weasel their way out of it. “Romeo and Onyx, how did you meet Reef?” I ask, trying to keep my voice as calm as I possibly can.

Romeo picks up his shot glass to drink but doesn’t throw it back. He’s thinking over my question, his eyes locked with Onyx. He tips his head toward Onyx as if asking him a silent request. Is Onyx the one in charge here? Because it certainly looks like Romeo is waiting on him.

Onyx sighs heavily as if the weight of the world is resting on his shoulders. “We all met in a group home back when we were kids.”

His words send a shiver slithering down my spine. They have known each other for years. I don’t get it, Romeo is the son of some massive mafia family in Italy, and Onyx has lived with us since he was sixteen. “How is that possible?”

“Our childhoods were complicated, much like yours, doll face.”

I see Romeo differently for the first time. I thought he had grown up in the lap of luxury and been handed everything he could desire by his daddy. But if this is true, then he’s had to struggle his way to the top just like Reef did.

Romeo’s hand finds mine, and he brings it to his lips as I stare back at him, I think in shock. “You done with the game now, doll face?”

I pull my hand back quickly, my pulse quickening. “What do you three want with me, is this some teenage fantasy you all had? Find some girl and lock her away from the rest of the world so you can have your dirty way with her? Is that what this is?”

“You’re not just some girl, Sloane. We all fell for you individually, that’s how we know you’re the one.”

“The one to what?” I push my chair back. “You know what, I don’t want to know. I’m exhausted, and this, whatever this is, is too much for me to process right now. Thank you for my meal. I’ll see you all in the morning,” I say, much nicer than I should be right now.

“Sloane,” Reef calls me back.

“Let her go,” Onyx tells him.

And I do. I march right from the room as quickly as I can, confused as hell. I knew this wasn’t some big coincidence; they all know each other well. The last few weeks flash before me as I try to remember every contact I had with the three of them, and how they interacted with each other. It all blurs together. All I do know is any one of them could have pointed this out to me at any time and none of them did. But they know each other, and they all want to be with me. For Christ’s sake, Sloane, how did you end up here.

Chapter 29

Withaheavysigh,I throw my legs over the side of the bed and sit up. Even though I’m dog tired, it’s impossible to sleep. Normally I would reach for my sleeping pills, but you can bet your life my brother wasn’t packing them for me.

I move down the hall in search of a glass of water, or really just anything so I’m not lying in bed alone trying to wrap my head around all of this. I walk into the kitchen and pour a glass of water, wishing I was at the club right now. Sally checked in with me and assures me it’s all taken care of. Apparently Asher has stepped in to help in my absence, but I feel out of control not being there with the rest of the girls. That place is such a huge part of my life. The boys and my brother forcing me to have time away from it over this stalker stuff is bullshit.

I pour a tall glass of ice water from the fridge, the condensation clinging to the glass as I lean against the countertop, taking a long sip. I freeze when I hear the murmur of voices out in the living room.

“Sloane’s just stubborn. She’ll come around,” I make out Romeo’s voice softly explaining to someone else.

“I hope so, Romeo. There’s something about that girl. I’m addicted in a way that makes me want to throw everything we have worked so hard for away, just so she can be ours,” comes Reef’s voice, the possessiveness in it sending butterflies right through me.

Quietly I tiptoe through the kitchen so I can peer around the adjoining wall and see them. The two of them are standing by the window, Reef looking out over the view of shipping containers and other apartments.

Romeo’s hand shoots to his back. With a swift turn, he slams Reef against the cold, unforgiving glass, the impact echoing slightly. The two of them lock eyes so damn intensely it kind of turns me on. “She will be ours,” Romeo tells him, his voice a low, possessive rumble that sends an instant rush of wetness to my core.

It’s so fucked up how turned on I get by the three of them. My body practically begs me to drop down at my knees and suck them off every time I’m in the room with them, that or have them throw me over a hard surface and fuck the life out of me. I clench my legs together at the thought, my pussy thumbing with arousal.

Through the light of the moon streaming into the room, I see the way Reef looks at Romeo. It’s the same way he gazes at me, with that dark obsessive lust that draws me into him. But this is Romeo, the boy he grew up with, not the girl he has a crush on. They eye each other off, and a strange tingle runs through me that instantly heats my cheeks.

The next thing I know, Romeo kisses him. My heart kicks up a beat, and I clutch my glass extra tightly so I don’t send it smashing to the tile floor below. This is what they’re hiding from me. They’re a thing, and they want me to be part of it. Damn! This is the last thing I expected, but I can’t drag my eyes away from them. Instead, I watch them as they maul each other, fascinated and majorly turned on. What was a throbbing is now moisture leaking down my legs I’m so damn wet.

Hurriedly Romeo unbuckles Reef’s pants, and fuck, I can’t stop my mouth from opening wide as I watch him get down on his knees in front of Reef. He strokes his cock. It’s thick and hard, and in the light of the moon, I can see a glint of a piercing right at the tip. “I’m goingto make you cum so fucking hard down my throat, then I’m going to fuck you until you cum again.”

Oh my God. My mouth goes dry at Romeo’s dirty words, and I grip hold of the countertop, watching the scene before me play out. I shouldn’t be here spying on them, but I can’t leave now. It’s the hottest thing I have ever seen, and I own a sex club! Two of the men I’m insanely attracted to, talking dirty and fucking around.

Delicately I place the glass on the counter as my hand involuntarily moves down and over my stomach, slipping inside my silk sleep shorts, feeling over the trimmed mound of hair before sliding through my dripping-wet pussy. I’m so fucking turned on a shudder runs through me.

Reef’s hand laces into Romeo’s hair, and he pulls him onto his cock with more force, his head dropping back to the window as he groans in pleasure. “Fuck yes,” he growls.

My breath hitches in my chest. He’s so damn beautiful to watch, and Romeo, I never thought I would see him on his knees for anyone. I toy with my clit, rubbing circles over my sensitive nub, imagining it was me on my knees for Reef while Romeo eats my pussy. The three of us would be so hot together. And right now, I’m so turned on I can forget how much their lies piss me off. I slip a finger inside of my pussy, needing more, right as Reef jerks forward.

“Fuck, Romeo,” he grunts out. It’s the hottest sound ever, him cumming for Romeo, his hand tangled so tightly into Romeo’s hair it must be painful.
