Bind Me (Private Listing #2)

I wave him away. “He’s harmless. Just lonely.”

“He watches you. He knows your patterns. That’s what stalkers do, Madison.” Blake looks out the window as we head back to their building.

“Robert’s not a stalker.” He did occasionally give me the creeps, but he’s fine. I’d know if he was stalking me. Wouldn’t I? A shiver runs through me.

“You don’t know that. And we can’t know that. Not unless he’s done it before.” Blake takes my hand and pulls it onto his lap. His thumb brushes over the back of my hand, sending little sparks through me.

“Thank you for taking care of me.” I shift closer to him on the seat, drawn to his warmth and strength.

He smirks at me. “Part of the job description.”

I shake my head as I grin. “Yours or mine?”

“Both.” He kisses me, and it feels like the first time. Soft. His lips linger on mine as his tongue explores the curves of my lips before I open beneath him. By the time we pull into the garage, I’m close to straddling him again in the car.

He chuckles as he lifts his head. “I have you all night, tiger.”

A little thrill goes through me as we climb out and head upstairs. I can’t wait for bed.

Dinner is, of course, wonderful, and I didn’t have to cook, which makes it even better. While I’m still a little off-balance from the texts this morning, I’m doing my best to put them out of my mind and focus on the conversation around me about work.

“Tomorrow is Friday.” Seth sits back and steeples his fingers against his lips while watching me.

Arousal flows through me at the thought of all of them taking me again. Blake’s and Coop’s words replay in full-scale color in my head. I cross my legs against the ache and longing.

“Everyone needs to make a list of what they want out of this arrangement. As detailed as possible.” Seth nods at me. “Including you, princess.”

“I gave you all my hard limits.”

Seth sets his hands on the table. “And we need to know soft limits and what you want. Things you want to try. We want to fulfill your desires.”

I’m all for that. I want to strip naked right now and beg them to take me, but maybe we should clear the dishes first.

“This is still something you want to do. Right, kitten?” Noah is sitting beside me and reaches beneath the table to trail his hand under my skirt, curling his fingers against the inside of my thigh, sending tingles straight to my center.

I meet his dark eyes. “Of course.”

“Good.” He squeezes my thigh and stands to collect our dishes. I miss the warmth of his touch.

“What exactly goes into this contract?” I turn to Seth and place my hands together on the table.

The others move around us, clearing the dishes. When I begin to rise to help, Coop presses his hand on my shoulder and gives me a smile, shaking his head. I settle into my chair and focus on Seth. His eyes have always held mine and now isn’t an exception.

“Anything we feel we need to spell out. When we will do renegotiations. What will be allowed as an out clause. If you need a day without sex?—‍”

“That’s not going in the contract, sweetheart.” Coop leans down, kissing my ear and sending tiny shivers racing through me. I agree with him. I don’t think I can get enough of them.

Seth gives him an admonishing look, but Coop just shrugs it off.

“It’s about what will make this arrangement comfortable for all of us.” Seth leans back. “Such as knowing that none of us will have sex with someone else without talking with you first.”

My insides clench at the idea of them having sex with someone other than me. I understand that I’m only one woman, but I’m willing to try to keep up with their needs. I don’t even know how that conversation will go. Can I say no, you can’t screw anyone else?

An unpleasant thought races through my mind. “What about dating?”

Seth contemplates me. Is he wondering if I want to date or worried I’m going to be a jealous woman? I shouldn’t be jealous if this is just an arrangement and not a proper relationship. My gaze darts to the other guys who gaze at me, just as curious.
