“Is this a private party?”

Seth looked over to find Tai leaning against the doorframe, his arms crossed over his chest. A small smile played on his lips, and Seth knew he didn’t mind his lovers playing alone while he’d been downstairs. “Definitely not.”

“Come fuck me,” River pleaded then pouted. “Seth won’t.”

Tai came over and sat on the edge of the bed. He cupped her cheek and smiled tenderly. “Why not, baby?”

“Because he thinks I’m not up for it.”

“Well, I kind of have to agree. I mean, you were lying on the floor when we came in.”

“Oh come on! I’m fine. I was just dizzy for a minute. I want you.”

Seth couldn’t help but be amused by her demands. He shook his head, sliding to River’s side. Glancing at Tai, he raised an eyebrow.

“Well, maybe if you see the doc…” Tai offered.

River rolled her eyes, making a frustrated, disgruntled sound. “No.”

“What about…Madison?”

“You already called her, didn’t you?”

Tai gave a faint shrug and raised his brows with a slight tilt of his head. A wordless “yes” with which Seth was quite familiar. Basically, it was Tai’s “yeah, what you gonna do about it” expression.

“Damn it, Tai,” she swore.

“Sorry, baby, but we promised to take care of you, and this is part of it. If we think you need to see a medical professional, then you will.”

“I am a fucking medical professional!”

He glanced at Seth. “Don’t they say something to the effect of doctors and nurses make the worst patients?”

“I think they do.”

“You two are assholes. I’m pretty sure I don’t want to fuck you anymore, anyway.” She made a sweeping gesture toward the door. “Get out.”

“Sure, but you’re coming with.” Tai lifted her into his arms.

“Put me down!”

“Nope. You’re going to eat.”

“You really are an asshole.”

“And you have a potty mouth today,” Tai retorted.

“She should probably be spanked for that after Madison confirms she’s okay,” Seth offered and hid a grin when River opened her mouth with a smartass rely then pressed her lips closed instead. So…she liked that idea, did she?

“I think that’s a good idea.” Tai leaned his forehead to hers. “Especially since we’re just looking out for her—like…making sure she eats or that she doesn’t have a concussion—and we’re assholes.”

“Oh shut up,” she grumbled.

At the foot of the stairs, Tai paused. “Shut me up.”

Her fingers threaded into his hair, and she slanted her mouth against his. Hungrily, she kissed him, pressing as close as she could. Her free hand reached toward Seth. He caught it and brought it to his lips. Turning her palm, he opened his mouth to her wrist and sucked at the pulse point there.

She whimpered into Tai’s mouth, and her fingers curled in Seth’s grasp. Beneath his lips, her pulse raced with her arousal.
