“I’m going to enjoy the hell out of this tonight.” Ethan landed a firm slap to the same cheek, and Zayne balled his fists at his sides as Ethan shifted in even further down behind him. The next thing he felt was the leather straps being fastened around his ankles.

Zayne closed his eyes and concentrated on even breaths as he tried to squash the arousal building in him. But with his feet now strapped to what was essentially a fuck bench, and Ethan drawing a finger up his crack, it was a difficult goddamn feat.

“You’re right. Iwasneglectful of you today. Spending all my time in here on the computer. But I’m going to make up for that now.” Ethan moved in until his thick erection was pressed up against Zayne’s ass. “I’m going to put all my energy into making sure you feel like you have every single ounce of my attention over the next…however long I decide.”

A shiver trembled through Zayne’s body. That promise sounded like the most delicious kind of threat, and he was ready.

Hell, if he was any readier, Ethan might punish him for coming early and he didn’t want that, so he dug his nails into his palms until they hurt.

“Now, be a good boy and bend the fuck over.”

ETHAN STARED DOWN at what had to be one of the most perfect visuals he’d seen in a long time. His boy Z, bent at a forty-five-degree angle over his old bench with his ankles strapped to the legs.

Fully naked, Zayne’s broad back and tight, round ass were on full display, and his beautiful tanned skin had Ethan itching to touch. That would come later, though; it would be his reward after Ethan got through with making him writhe in pleasure and disappear into that space that only existed for subs who were willing to go there—and Z certainly was.

Ethan glanced over at the clock on the wall to see that Chloé would be arriving home any minute now, and knew he’d set the scene perfectly.

When he and Zayne had headed down here tonight, he’d remembered their conversation during the week about the trouble they used to get up to in the cabana—andthathad given him the idea for tonight. A walk down memory lane for Z and a sexy surprise for Chloé. It was the perfect way to show his subs a little love and attention, while also inviting their girl into their past and reshaping it to fit their new future.

Ethan picked up the cuffs and walked over to the front of the bench, where Zayne had his forehead pressed to the padding. Damn, the long line of his neck, back, and ass was a temptation that never got easier to resist.

But for the night to play out the way he wanted, Ethan would make himself resist.

“Left hand,” he ordered him, and Zayne immediately gave it.

For all of his sexy charm and rebellious swagger, when Zayne’s submissive side came out to play, his obedience was one of the things Ethan loved most about him. The willingness to submit to him—and only him.

Ethan secured the first cuff and then attached it to the hook at the head of the bench before securing the right—and just like clockwork, the second it clicked in place, the sound of their security gates opening echoed across the property.

He angled his boy’s face up so they were eye to eye. “That would be our girl coming home from a hard day at work. I definitely thinksheneeds to unwind too, don’t you?”

Zayne licked his lips, his eyes flaring, and Ethan wondered if it was the thought of Chloé seeing him tied up and restrained that was turning him on—or if it was what was to come after.

If he knew Zayne, it was likely both.

“You wait here. We’ll be right back.”

A faint groan hit Ethan’s ears as he walked out of the pool house, leaving the French doors wide and Zayne trussed up on the bench like some sexual sacrifice for when they returned.

It was already a mind trip to be tied up and at someone’s mercy. But add in the possibility of discovery and no way out? It would all add to Zayne’s arousal. Ethan knew his boy, and Z got off on the thrill of the spotlight, even if he was tied up and being tormented for hours in it.

The headlights of their car lit up the drive as it came onto the property at a slow crawl, and Ethan made his way across the grounds toward it. He met their driver as he pulled up at the exact spot Ethan had instructed, then reached for the back door and opened it.

As the light inside washed over Chloé’s beautiful features, her cropped shirt and denim cut-offs came into view. Damn, that just might be his new favorite outfit on her. The shorts showed off her long legs. As Ethan drew his gaze down them, he felt his heartandcock begin to pound.

“Welcome home,petite fille.”

A gorgeous smile crossed her glossy lips as her eyes shifted over his shoulder and she looked out the door.

“Hi.” It was clear her curiosity was piqued as she spotted the pool lit up. “Are we going for a midnight swim?”

Ethan held his hand out to her, and she slipped hers inside. “Not just yet, but maybe after.”

“After?”

As she went to reach for her bag, Ethan said, “You can leave that there. You won’t need it.”
