I waited until he held out his arms to me, and then I climbed on his lap.

I didn’t just want their affection. I craved it.

I buried my face in Mikhail’s chest and took in his comforting scent.

His eyes reminded me of the ocean, and he smelled like it too. Fresh and light.

He ran his fingers through my hair and I couldn’t help the small moan that escaped my lips. It felt so good.

I pulled away and looked up at him. “How are you feeling?”

I spoke softly, even if there was no one else around.

“Good.”

It still felt weird to be using my voice, but I liked that I didn’t feel sick to my stomach when I talked to him.

Mikhail’s eyes searched mine. I didn’t even know what he was looking for, but then he looked away.

I followed his line of vision, tensing in his arms when I caught sight of something crimson.

Blood on the white sheets.

My blood, from when Damien took my virginity.

Slowly, I looked back at him.

Was he mad?

I didn’t know what was wrong with me, to be attracted to not one, not two, but all three of my captors.

Nikolay had said something about sharing me back at the motel, and they had dropped other hints here and there, but they never outright said it. What if I misunderstood?

What did it make me, to kiss Mikhail one day and sleep with Damien the next?

The whore my father always predicted I would be.

Perhaps he was right. Perhaps I was nothing more than—

“Hey, calm down. It’s okay, it’s okay.”

Mikhail wrapped his arms around my middle and pulled me close. I looked up at him, my eyes burning.

“A-are you mad at me?” I asked.

“Why would I be mad at you,kotyonok? Because Damien took your virginity?”

I nodded.

He smiled. “No, baby. I’m not mad. I am mad at the bastard for getting to you before me. I should have known he would sneak in here while I was … preoccupied.”

My eyes widened. “Are you guys … going to fight?”

He cocked his head to one side, studying me. I resisted the urge to squirm on his lap.

“We might fight in the future. But it would never be your fault, and it would never be up to you to help us resolve it. But will I fight him because he took your virginity? No. I couldn’t blame him for it. After all, you’re so goddamn irresistible.”

My face flushed with pleasure.
