Hunt pulls back enough to look into Nik’s eyes, Nik’s glare unbelievable considering the hard-on I can see pressing againsthis trousers. His jaw works, but Hunt waits, his grip firm around Nik’s throat.

“Fine,” Nik grits out, and I wince, knowing that was not the right answer. Hunt’s hand flexes around Nik’s neck.

“I think what you meant to say was, ‘Yes, Daddy.’” Hunt’s other hand comes up, his fingers trailing down Nik’s cheek in a caress that I almost feel against my own skin, as it’s a move Hunt pulls on me which is guaranteed to melt me.

“Yes, Daddy,” Nik agrees after a second, his eyelashes fluttering, and Roman and I both groan, clinging to each other, knowing how heady Hunt’s brand of dominance is.

“Good boy,” Hunt praises, heat spearing through me when he leans in again and presses his lips against Nik’s. He holds Nik in place, not letting the kiss deepen, and I know that this is part of Nik’s punishment, the edging. Hunt is making him desperate for more and will continue until Nik is begging him.

“Fuck, that is beyond hot,” Roman rasps, his hand adjusting his hard length underneath the blankets.

Hunt pulls back, Nik’s eyes still closed as his chest heaves. “No fucking, just sleep, Baby Boy,” Hunt commands, looking at Roman, his hand still around Nik’s throat, his fingers caressing the other man. “Understood?”

“Yes, Daddy,” Roman grumbles, his tone a little sullen, and Hunt chuckles, finally letting go of Nik and stepping back. He’s not unaffected, his hard dick pressing up against his jeans.

“Surrounded by brats.” He sighs before walking towards the door.

“You love us for it, Daddy!” Roman calls just as Hunt shuts the door, and I giggle.

“One day he’ll spank you so bad you won’t be able to sit down for a week,” Rowan says, pulling me against him until there is not a breath between us.

“Oh, I hope so.” Roman smirks, placing a kiss on my lips as the bed dips behind him when Nik gets in. His cheeks are flushed, all his glorious ink on display as he, too, is only wearing his boxer shorts.

“Stop looking at me like that,Kotenok, otherwise we’ll all be getting spanked by Hunter,” Nik states, spooning behind Roman and pulling him close just like Rowan is doing to me.

My gaze switches to Roman, a small smile playing on my lips. He lifts a brow, but mischief makes his eyes twinkle.

“Bad time to remind you all I’ve no knickers on then, I guess?” I say, the smile I’m trying to hold back making my lips twitch.

“Fuck, princess,” Roman groans, his fingers teasing along my hip.

“You really can’t say shit like that when we’ve been told not to fuck.”

I gasp when a large palm cups my bare pussy, covering my clit and opening.

“Don’t worry, brother, I’ll make sure you don’t break Daddy Hunter’s rules,” Rowan assures him, and Roman’s fingers travel down until he finds his brother’s hand, barring his entry.

“No fair, bro,” he whines, then yelps.

“Sleep,Lev,” Nik commands, and I’m not sure what he did to Roman, but it shuts him up and has his hand coming back to my waist.

“Night, everyone,” I say, my eyelids already closing, surrounded by the warmth of my men.

“Night, Lamb,” Rowan whispers, his nose buried in my neck, his arms around me, and his hand cupping my pussy.

“Night, Princess,” Roman replies, pressing a sweet kiss on my nose before settling back down, sharing a pillow with me.

“Night,Kotenok,” Nik murmurs, a hand stroking my cheek.

I drift off, safe in the knowledge that now, at this moment, nothing can touch us.
