“Mmmm. I don’t know,” Soren’s husky voice, combined with Steffan’s fingers, sends a thrill through me, “I personally enjoy the chase.”

They both release a dark chuckle as their hands roam my body. I close my eyes and sigh. Giving myself completely over to the pleasure they’re offering. Then I feel more hands. Startled, I open my eyes and look down.

Lee.

“What are you doing,” I breathe out.

“Whatever you want me to,” Lee gives me a full smile that showcases his gorgeous, perfectly white teeth. I don’t know why Lee Conrad is here. He’s Steffan’s best friend. Then I stare in fascination as he keeps those green eyes on me and sinks his teeth into my thigh. Not enough to break the skin, but enough pain to excite me. But why is he here?

“This is so wrong.” I’m speaking more to myself than anyone else. I’m with Steffan’s brother and best friend. “You’re…you’re Steffan’s–”

“I’m Steffan’s brother, too.” Lee tells me and fans the end of his tie at me. The Brotherhood. “You belong to The Illicit, don’t you?”

Soren licks from my jaw to ear and then nips the lobe. “Give in to your darkest desires, Little Mouse. Don’t be afraid.”

A hand rubs along my collar bone, and it’s Steffan, again. “We plan to worship, use, and protect you.”

Panting, I cry out, “I want it. I want it all, and all of you. But I shouldn’t.”

“Maybe you should beg for forgiveness.” My blood turns cold, and my eyes fly open at the sound ofhisvoice. I thought we were safe. I thoughtIwas safe. What’shedoing here?

“Sssshhh, Little Mouse,” Soren whispers into my ear. He lifts me up and then carries my nude body through an area that’s pitch black. We emerge from the darkness in what appears to be the inside of an old cathedral, but instead of an altar, there’s a giant four-post bed. More shirtless men in denim jeans wearing blue ties appear. They’re all wearing masks, but I know they’re part of the Brotherhood. “You’re ours,” low voices speak in unison.

Soren gently places me onto the bed that’s replacing the altar. My skin is so sensitive, and I can’t help but sink into the silk sheets. A hand grabs my wrist and I roll my head over to the side to watch Steffan remove his blue tie. His deep-sea blue eyes watch me the entire time he uses his tie to restrain my wrist to the bedpost.

“What are you doing?” My words are drawn out in a husky voice that I don’t even recognize as my own. This is beyond… When did I become this person? Is this what they mean when they keep saying I’mtheirs’?I belong to the entire fraternity — TheIllicitBrotherhood.

“Helping you relax, Little Mouse.” Soren reappears at my other side. He takes my wrist and begins to repeat the actions of his twin. I jerk my arm against his hold and against the other that binds my other arm. Soren bites his bottom lip and shakes his head, like he thinks I’m adorable. His hand is quick as he jerks it out and wraps the tie around it. He pulls the material tighter.

Mysterious, golden-brown eyes darken behind a mask as they peer down at me. The stranger speaks in a very menacing tone, “By taking control.”

Another masked face comes into my vision. This one slowly lifts his mask, and I can’t recall his name but he’s familiar. I’ve seen him around the mansion before. His exotic good looks isn’t one that could easily be forgotten. “Now…relax,” he whispers in a soft husky voice before he slowly lowers his head. My body quivers as I feel his hot tongue snake along my skin.

I stop fighting the restraints. Lee crawls between my legs and whispers against my thigh, “Good girl.” He removes his tie from his neck and dangles the fabric a hair above my skin. I feel only the faintest touches, and each time my body jerks. The soft material is dropped between my breasts. Ever so slowly, he drags the material down to my navel, spreading goosebumps all over my body. I shiver when I feel the tip of the tie brush against my pussy and then onto the bed. A whimper exits my lips as I shiver from the simple, yet erotic, act.

I stare up to the ceiling as I feel hands take my left ankle and tie it to the bottom bedpost. My right ankle is roughly brought to the side of the bed, forcing me to be spread wide, putting my most private of places on full display. I turn my neck to find Alex holding me in an almost painfully tight grip. His eyebrows are pulled together, and his lips are pressed into a thin line. I hate that my stomach is tightening and doing flips at the sight of him removing his tie single-handedly. The top half of my body recognizes that he is a total psychopath, but the lower half apparently thinks that only adds to his appeal. Alex gives my leg another tug despite it being already stretched out as far as it can physically go. He begins tying my ankle to the post.

“You’ve always been my greatest temptation. My most precious desire. I worshiped you…from afar…” He bends down and places an open-mouth kiss against my calf. “Tonight, I’m going to worship at your altar.”

He stands back to his full height to unbuckle his belt.No.Alex is my ex. I’ve spent the last two years running from him. I look away only to find Lee at the center of the foot of the bed doing the same thing. I turn my head to the side, Steffan is removing his pants. I turn to the opposite side, and yup, Soren is standing before me fully nude. The handsome nameless Delta Pi Theta brother is also undressing. I wonder what the other masked brothers will do to me…

I’m going to have a heart attack. My heart is beating too fast, and my chest keeps tightening. But my body feels so alive. I don’t think I’ve ever been so aroused. All four of these men are terrifying in their own way. Behind them are more dangerous men. They’re beautiful predators and they’ve successfully trapped their prey.

Alex settles between my thighs. My body jolts at the feel of his tongue. “The forbidden fruit.” His voice has taken on a guttural edge.

“Still so cheesy and dramatic,” I whimper. I want to be sarcastic and jab at him, but what he’s doing with his tongue is beyond… “Oh my!”

Lee trails his fingers up the side of my leg. He flattens his palm over my stomach and then up my left breast. “Mind if I have a taste?” When I don’t answer, I feel a sharp sting on my nipple.

I turn my head to see Steffan with a faint smirk. “Don’t be rude. He asked you a question.” I nod. Steffan smiles in approval and turns to Lee. “She’s given you her consent, brother.” He pinches my nipple again, but before I can protest, I feel the heat of Lee’s warm tongue circling the tender skin.

When did I turn into this woman who has more than one man at once? For asecondtime at that. A familiar hand grips my throat.

“If it wasn’t for you looking like you’re in fucking ecstasy, I’d kill both of them for touching you. You’re supposed to be only mine and Steffan’s.” Soren places his lips a breath away from my ear and I can hear the smile in his voice as he says, “But I love watching you fall apart. My dick is so painfully hard.” I gasp and Soren’s dark chuckle fills my ear. “You like being watched, don’t you? You’re a naughty little church mouse. Do you like having all of my brothers watch you? Do you want all of them to taste you, too?”

Oh God… do I? Before I can shamefully answer that, Steffan speaks.

“I’m getting tired of watching. It’s time to have her falling apart from my lips.” He grabs my chin and turns my head to face him. He slams his lips to mine and forces his tongue between my lips. The kiss is rough and demanding. Soren’s lips land on my now stretched and exposed neck.
