Casually,Istretch my arm up on the wall soI’mleaning over her, then flex my pecs.Justa bit.

Edenblinks and then focuses her attention back on me fully.Shelooks down, then jolts as she notices how close we’re standing.Thedelicate line of her throat works as she swallows.Hereyes lift until she’s peering up at me through her lashes, and her fists tangle in her pink skirt.

“Hi,” she says again, softly.

Myheart melts in my chest with one tiny splash.It’sas natural as breathing to press a light kiss against her rosy lips.

“Hi,”Imurmur back.

Iwin that small, shy smile from her again, andI’mabout to steal another kiss whenLuckybursts through the door, whistling obnoxiously.Edenjumps a foot in the air, pressing a searing, steadying hand against my chest.

Whenrecognition crosses her face, she scowls.

Huh.Notthe warm responseLuckyusually evokes.Especiallynot the oneIthought she’d be giving him after whatIheard yesterday.

Hestrolls over and leans against the wall onEden’sother side, effectively pinning her between us, and presses a kiss to her cheek. “Hey, beautiful.”

“Lucky?”Iprompt. “Doyou mind?”

Itdoes sound a lot like “fuck off” whenIsay it out loud like that.

Luckylooks at me in surprise. “Oh!Ofcourse.Sorry.”Heleans up and kisses me on the cheek.

“You’rebeautiful too,Beau,” he says seriously.

Isnort, butEdensucks in an audible breath, eyes darting between the two of us from under her glasses, then back at our half-naked bodies pressed around her.Herhand absently rubs against my chest for one cock-stirring moment before she snatches it back, cradling it against her throat as if she felt the blistering heat as fiercely asIdid.

“S-sorry,” she stammers.

Igive her a slow smile. “Youdon’t ever need to apologize for touching me,Eden.”

“Yeah.Orfor peeking through your curtains and eye fucking us for forty minutes.We’recool with that too,”Luckychimes in cheerfully.

Eden’shead whips toward him. “What?”Hervoice is pure panic. “Ididnot—”

Mylips twitch. “Wordto the wise, darlin’, it ain’t a real good idea to lie to your dom.”

Hermouth opens, then snicks shut, andIwatch as the rose color in her cheeks deepens, then rolls into the tips of her ears.

“Youreally saw me?” she asks in a small voice.

“Ohyeah.”Igrin. “Wesaw you.”

Shesqueals, burying her face in her hands.

Luckysnickers and ruffles her hair. “I’mgoing to make breakfast.Youwatch that sweet butt of yours,Eden.”

Shebats his hand away and glares after him as he leaves.

Atmy confused look, she scowls. “Luckyis the devil himself, and if he gets me killed,Iwould appreciate it if you buried him next to me soIcan haunt him in our next life.”

Ifrown. “Ithought y’all played a game ofTwister.Thatdoesn’t sound—”

“Haveyou ever played one ofLucky’sgames,Beau?” she asks in her gorgeous, husky voice.Theblue-gray of her eyes spears me, not seeming at all shy in that moment.

Thesound of my name rolling off her tongue hits me low in my stomach.

“Afew times,”Itell her, surreptitiously looking her over for burn marks. “I’musually his best bet for anything close to a game.”
