Cian stopped laughing immediately. "What the fuck? Hell no I don't agree to that!"

"Ask me if I give a shit," Finnian growled.

I glanced at Ronan. "What do you think?"

"I think it's the only way to do things," he said as he seemed to think it over. "Either we share or no one gets anything at all. That also means Jack should be shared between us evenly. We each get a day in rotation. That way no one's fighting," he said as he specifically gazed at Cian.

"This is bullshit," Cian muttered.

"We can stop this now," Finnian said. "And that'll be the end of that."

Cian gave up right away. Instead, he growled as he crossed his arms over his massive chest. The look in his eyes was both terrifying and hot. I wanted him to take out that pent up irritation on me. Particularly my holes.

Shit, is he right? Am I a slut?

"What about you, Jack?" Ronan asked. "Any rules?"

I blinked at them. They all looked at me eagerly. Ronan inquisitively. Finnian examined me making me feel small. And Cian looked like he wanted to eat me. Yep, I'd decided to throw myself to two sharks and a sweet dolphin.Wouldn't change it for the world.

"Just one," I said slowly. "I get my door back in case I want some privacy of my own."

"Never that," Finnian said.

My mouth dropped open. "Come on!"

"I said no," he said sternly. "Not until I'm sure you can be trusted. However, I'll allow you to earn it back. How does that sound?"

I huffed. It was better than nothing.

"Fine," I muttered. "Then I want to do the stuff I've always wanted to do. Spankings, playing video games... sex," I mumbled. "All of it. I've never been able to have a Daddy experience in real life so if we're going to have this thing before we have to go back home, I really want to enjoy it. You all have to play with me. And..." I glanced at Ronan. "I don't want to be isolated or left alone, ever.That'smy red. You can all punish me how you see fit, but I don't want to be on my own while it happens. I didn't like that."

Ronan frowned. "Oh, Jack," he whispered. "I'm sorry, I didn't think--."

I shrugged. "It's okay, but I don't want that again. That's all."

Ronan closed the space between us and pulled me into his arms. Like always I felt the tears gather as he held me close. He was the only one I ever felt like I could be soft around. I had to keep up the hard part of me, the one that would one day run the family if I kept pushing. But when Ronan held me, I melted.

"I'm sorry," he said again. "Do you understand me? That willneverhappen again. I shouldn't have done it."

I clung to him. "It's okay."

"It's not okay," he snapped. "I know better than that. Trying to be a hard ass and look where it gets me." He shook his head when we parted. "You should never feel anything but safe with me. That's all I want."

My heart squeezed. I knew Ronan would be the one for me, I always had. He tried to shove me away, but from the day we met I saw softness in him. Clearly, my father saw another side, otherwise he wouldn't have been hired. But I didn't want that side of Ronan. I wanted him exactly the way he was.

"What do you want from the two of us?" Finnian asked.

Ronan slipped his hand into mine. I squeezed his hand as I gazed between Finnian and Cian.

"Well, I want you to be yourself. Stern and bossy," I muttered to Finnian. "I kinda like that?"

"You always complain about it."

"So what?" I asked. "It's hot."

Finnian laughed. "Alright, I get it."

"And what about me? You want me to be your hot dose of dicking everyday, right?" Cian asked as he grabbed his junk. "I can do that."
