Adam’s sudden chuckle jerked my focus once more to him. “Lily Rose,” he murmured as though chiding her.
“What?” she asked with a bit of sass lacing her voice, her cheeks flushing.
My phone chimed, and I excused myself, for the first time thankful my sister needed my undivided attention.
Chapter Five
Jordan
Natalie walked away, her cell plastered to her ear, and I couldn’t keep from gazing after her as she moved from the room, her lush ass swaying.
“So fucked,” Garret murmured, but I chose to ignore him and turned my focus on Lily, an eyebrow raised over what she was trying to play at.
She shrugged with a knowing look. “Natalie could use a little release.”
“Lily Rose.” Adam’s stern voice repeating what he had seconds earlier flushed her face fully.
“She could,” his wife insisted. “And did you see the way she looks at him?”
“How?” I asked without meaning to.
Lily’s attention turned on me, intent with purpose. “Like she wants to crawl on her hands and knees across a splinter-infested wood floor just to kiss your feet.”
My cock jerked inside my trousers and Garret swore something about me being a lucky bastard. If only Lily knew what Natalie had done earlier.
“Tell me about her,” I said, tossing my napkin aside.
Lily obeyed without glancing at her husband for permission, and I listened, ingesting the story of a young woman who lost it all—and gained the responsibility of a wayward teenage sister, one intent on acting out, creating drama, and putting herself in harm’s way more often than not through poor choices.
Natalie didn’t seem the type who would use me, take my money, but she also sounded like a woman determined to ease her guilt and set her sister on a better path—no matter the cost.
“She’s sacrificed the best years of her life,” Lily said, as though trying to sway me toward her assistant. “She’s the most kindhearted, giving woman I’ve ever met and deserves a good man.”
“I’m a good man,” Garret said, and I scowled at him. He laughed.
“What’s her financial situation?” I asked Lily, determined to ignore the spike of jealousy Garret had shot through me.
“Not good,” Lily answered, glancing at Adam. “But now that she’s working for us, things seem to be going a bit better.”
“And the younger sister?” I asked. “What does she do for work?”
“She just graduated and isn’t yet sure what she wants to do.”
“So she’s taking advantage of Natalie.”
“That’s what I would call it,” Adam said, his arms crossing over his wrinkled t-shirt.
Lily didn’t disagree.
Torn by the information provided, I stewed through the afternoon and evening, and when night fell, and the submissives Adam had invited for the night arrived, I found myself unmoved. Cock limp and uninterested.
Garret scened for the two of us while I sat on the bench, every cry or moan passing the two women’s lips over his flogger’s lash across their skin bringing to mind Natalie and what noises she might make.
Whimper? Scream? Would she come with a low groan or shriek her lover’s name? I imagined being the one bringing her that release, the one Lily claimed the poor woman needed, and my cock finally stiffened. I gave over to the fantasy of having Natalie tied up for my pleasure—her pleasure—and stroked myself through my trousers.
I joined Garret before long, my cock in hand, but it was Natalie’s name whispered over in my mind as I came, shooting my spunk over the lashed back of a woman whose name I didn’t even know.
Saturday, I didn’t have the pleasure of bumping into Natalie in the hallway, and while I didn’t want to reveal my almost-desperation, I found myself asking Lily about her assistant the second I caught her alone.
