He sucked air between his teeth, fury contorting his face, before he relaxed and shrugged. “If you want to call this punishment ‘treating her like a princess,’ be my guest. I don’t see a princess. I see a kitten in need of declawing.”

Sofia dropped her head back on the bed and closed her eyes. “Would the two of you please stop measuring your fucking dicks and get on with it?”

Dante laughed softly.

“Your wish is my command,” he paused, “princess.”

DANTE

Sofia fought so fuckinghard to maintain control of her emotions. I’d never met a woman so determined not to drop her mask, nor whose mask I yearned to rip off with such desperation. I glanced at Nick—Nico—out of the corner of my eye. He watched my kitten with blatant hunger, but waited patiently for my lead.Thank God.Sharing Sofia with another man was hard enough. I’d have murdered him if he had tried to control the scene. I almost did when he promised to treat her like a princess.

She wanted him, shelikedhim, and I fought against the creeping veins of jealousy that inched across my heart. My toy couldlikewhomever she wanted. Shebelongedto me. I ignored the quiet voice in the back of my head, screaming she’d be better off belonging to both of us, with me to satisfy her darkest desires and Nico to pet and praise her when I finished.

“Close your eyes, kitten,” I ordered.

Nico laughed quietly, then rummaged in my duffle bag. When he didn’t find what he was looking for, he moved in front of me, slid his hands up my chest, then wrapped his fingers around my tie. He stared into my eyes, amused, as he loosened the knot. Did he think I’d back away?Never.

I drew his face to mine, curious as to how far he’d take this. He brushed his freshly shaved cheek against my jaw, then kissed the corner of my mouth while he pulled the tie out of my collar. My fingers skimmed the hard muscles of his shoulder as he backed away.Hm.

He swiftly blindfolded my kitten,ourkitten, I finally admitted to myself. Nico wouldn’t give her up without a fight, and neither would I.

I tossed him a small bullet vibrator. He set it on the bed before kneeling between her soft thighs. Sofia sighed as he traced his fingers from her knees to her pussy and back down again. He followed the same path with his nose, with his cheek, with his lips, and finally, his tongue.

She whimpered as he traced up along her slit. I fought the urge to shove him out of the way so I could taste her myself. He slipped his arms between her legs and the bed, wrapping them around her, yanking her center against his face so he could devour her.

In moments, the sweet sounds of Sofia’s whimpers and whines filled the room as Nico brought her to completion. She cried out as she came, her legs seizing and trembling as he nipped and nibbled through the aftershocks.

“That’s one,” he said, his face still buried in her pussy.

“Thank him, kitten,” I rasped.

“Thank you, Nick,” she sighed, her voice soft and sweet with contentment.

He continued to lap and nibble at her, even as she tried to squirm away. “That was one, Sofia,” he said as he slid a finger into her. “Twelve left to go.”

She gasped, a sweet sound of surprise that went straight to my cock. “It’s sensitive, Nick.”

“That’s the point,” he said, leaning in to suck her clit into his mouth. She moaned as he finger-fucked her right into another climax and then another. “Three down, ten to go,” he said, finally pulling his face away from her wet and glistening pussy. He turned on the vibrator and pressed it against her.

Sofia twitched and tried to jerk away, but we’d bound her too tight. “Easy, baby,” he said, stroking her soft belly as she whimpered and whined, coming to another shaking climax. “That’s four.”

“Enough, please,” she gasped.

“That’s not how this works, kitten. You fucked up, and now you have to pay the price,” I growled.

Tears streaked down her face, smearing her mascara down her pale skin as Nico held the vibrator in place no matter how violently she writhed. He took a nipple in his mouth, and she groaned, rolling right into her next orgasm, quaking and crying with the effort.

“Nick, I can’t,” she whined as her limbs trembled from the aftershocks.

I took the vibrator from Nico’s hands and increased the intensity before pressing against her clit once again. “No,” she whined, “I can’t.”

Nico released her nipple from his mouth with a pop and ran his lips up her jaw before dropping gentle kisses all over her face. He stroked her hair back from her face as she twitched under my ministrations. “Eight more left. Do you need to use your safeword, baby?”

I raised an eyebrow. “She’s a slut. She doesn’t need to use her safeword to get out of the punishment she deserves, right kitten?”

Nico glared at me. “Safewords are for stopping you and me from doing anything she doesn’t want, punishment or not.”
