“Being with us won’t be easy for you, Shiya. Do you understand that?”

“Yes.”

“Do you?” Kotori insisted.

She sighed. “The way I see it, I don’t have a choice. Seriously, I can’t imagine being with anyone other than the two of you. I can’t bear the thought of going away and leaving you. So, hard or not, I’m in it for the long haul. If you two are too weak to handle me . . .”

Kotori grunted, and Shiya laughed.

“I think we’re pretty much decided,” Birk said.

She put a hand on her bare hip. “Excuse me? Pretty much?”

He raised his hands and shrugged as if he didn’t know for sure.

“Oh no you didn’t.” She sat up, all tiredness gone. “I see I’m going to have to show you a little something so you know just who it is you are having sex with.”

Shiya shoved Birk onto his back and straddled his hips. The moment she brought her pussy down, his cock went rock hard. She reached under her and guided it inside. Birk groaned his pleasure. He seemed to struggle not to let things go too far yet, his fingers digging into her hips to keep her still.

“Are you sure, Shiya?” he asked.

She ignored him and raised her legs. After licking her middle finger, she pressed the tip to her clit and rotated it a circle. With her other hand, she played with her nipple, all the while making sexy sounds she knew would get them worked up. Kotori sat up, his dark eyes riveted on her movements. Birk lost the grip he had on her hips, and she began to grind on his cock.

“You naughty, naughty woman,” Birk moaned, raising his hips to thrust into her.

Kotori took his shaft into his hands and began stroking while he watched. “I want some of that.”

“You’re next,” she told him. “I’m not stopping until my men are good and satisfied. Then you will be convinced that I’m exactly what you’ve been looking for.”

“Yes, ma’am,” they echoed together, and the matter was soon settled.

“So, what are we going to do, Daddy?” Shae folded her arms over her chest. A deep fear for her sister’s safety tightened the muscles in her stomach. She felt like screaming and telling the man what she wanted done, but things didn’t work like that with her father. No one crossed him, and if she even dared, she’d find herself on a flight back to San Diego, cut off from the family business. That wasn’t happening. She wanted a part of every asshole who had the bad luck of being born a beast, and now that two of them had brainwashed her sister, she really wanted them all dead.

Her father pinched the bridge of his nose and paced Shiya’s suite. “She’s crippled us, Shae. Most of our information is gone. We’re back to square one. I put too much faith in Shiya handling that side of things.”

“Let’s go get those bastards that have her.”

His expression hardened. “No, we pull out of Alaska.”

“What!”

He gave her a look, and she pressed her lips together.

He spun on his heel and shouted orders to the men milling around. Soon the entire operation was closed down, and they were on a flight back home. This was their first failure after her mother’s death, and if it killed her, she vowed it would be the last.
