Page 79 of The Obedient Lie
Bastion tightened his arm around my waist, drawing me back into him, grounding me deeper. The muscles of his chest pressed to my spine. The rhythm of his breath against my shoulder.
I blinked.
My pulse stuttered.
But I was breathing steady again.
Luca leaned in and kissed me.
Soft. Slow. Like I was breakable.
He didn’t say anything. He didn’t have to. Because when he pulled back, I saw it—in his eyes.
He looked proud of me.
Just forbreathing.
Bastion’s hand came up, curling under my chin.
He turned my face toward Luca—slowly, deliberately—like Iwas something delicate and precious to be positioned just right. His thumb swept over my lower lip once. Then again.
“Open your mouth for me, baby.”
I did.
Without hesitation. Without thought.
“Good girl. Clean our fingers,”
Bastion held me steady, tilting my chin slightly as he whispered against my temple.
“Start slow. One at a time.”
Luca didn’t say a word—just watched me with that quiet, heated stare as the first finger slipped past my lips. I closed around it.Slowly.My tongue brushed over him, tasting myself, my pulse fluttering wild beneath my skin.
“That’s it,”Bastion murmured against my ear. “That’soursweetgirl. Just like that.”
He coached me through the second and third, keeping my face angled perfectly for Luca. His voice steady.Possessive.Praising.
When Luca finally withdrew his finger, Luca’s gaze met his over my shoulder—something silent passing between them.
Then Luca moved in.
He took over where Bastion left off, his hand replacing his brother’s beneath my jaw.
This time Luca positioned me for his brother.Holding me.Thumb stroking the corner of my mouth.
“You’re learning so fast,” he said softly.
Bastion lifted his hand—two fingers and offered them slowly.
I didn’t wait this time.
I leaned forward, guided by Luca’s grip, and closed my mouth around them. I licked them clean as Bastion let out a soft, ragged breath—the kind that made my chest feel tight and my thighs want to press together.
“Fuck,”he muttered. “She’s perfect.”
“And now,” Luca murmured, brushing a knuckle down my jaw,“say thank you.”
