“But I don’t look like shit.”
“No, but you’re wearing cologne.” Sin sniffed. “Trying to impress someone, Chaos? Got a big date lined up for this evening?”
The back of my neck warmed at his taunt, but I ignored it. The truth was, yes, I had a very important date. Merri just didn’t know about it yet.
“You look great, Chaos. That shirt is really working for you,” Merri said, her eyes drinking me in. “Are you going somewhere?”
Was that a little disappointment in her voice?
“I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.”
Sin gave me a knowing look, mouthing, “Cockblocker,” at me.
I might be, but Sin didn’t realize that he and Merri had given me the ammunition I needed in order to do it. Merri might deny her own needs, but she wouldn’t ignore Sin’s.
I smirked. “The way I see it, seems like the both of you are in need of my services.”
“What are you—ooooh. Oh my God, Chaos. Are you saying you’re going to feed me?” The shock in Sin’s voice would’ve made me laugh if his choice of words wasn’t so annoying.
“You’re not a baby bird, Sinclair. Shut your fucking mouth. And I’m not doing it for you. That’s just a bonus, I guess.”
“What did you have in mind?” Merri asked, eyeing me warily.
“You and me, Red. Sin can watch and take notes.”
Sin scoffed. “Notes?Notes? I do not take notes. I give them. In fact, this is a great idea. A little role-play. Especially since we both know you’re not ready for a threesome yet, big guy.”
I didn’t rise to his bait. Instead, I looked to Merri, whose eyes were bright with interest. “Role-play, huh?” I asked her. “You like that?”
Her cheeks went pink. “It sounds fun. I could use some fun.”
Sin’s smile grew. “Any limits to this fun, kitten?”
She bit down on her lip, eyes bouncing between the two of us before she shook her head. “No. No limits.”
Hook, line, and sinker. Just like I’d thought. Merri hadn’t wanted to take me up on my offer to help her out the other day,but now that Sin’s needs were involved, she was able to do the mental gymnastics required to allow herself to give in. I so loved a loophole. They were key to all winning strategies.
He rubbed his hands together. “Excellent.”
“So how does this role-play thing work?” I asked, stepping closer to Merri, my dick already half hard at the thought of getting to touch her.
“Well, let me put my director hat on. I have to think about this. Three of us, a nice big house... This is clearly screaming for a forbidden affair scenario.”
I couldn’t help but raise a brow. “How do you figure?”
“Well, if you won’t let me participate, that takes out some of the biggies, like stepbrother and his best friend, or hot twins.”
“But we aren’t twins.”
“It’s called role-play, Chaos. It’s all about imagination and timing. Which leads me back to the forbidden affair. If there’s three of us, but only two getting their hands and other parts dirty”—he winked at Merri—“then it's gotta be the two lovers trying not to get caught, oooor, maybe a cuckold situation.”
The way Sin was looking at Merri said all he needed was her permission.
She grinned, her gaze flicking to the chair nearby. “That seat is perfect for some observation.”
“Yessss.” Sin strode to the chair in question and adjusted it so it was near the fireplace with a solid view of most of the room. “Okay, so Chaos, you’re the pool boy, and Merri, you’re my sexy-as-fuck trophy wife.”
I frowned. “Pool boy?”
