Coop wears only his boxers, leaving his cut chest and abs on display. His arms are impressive as he leans on the table. Heat courses through me, remembering those arms holding me up while the others fucked me.
He winks, and I just shake my head. Noah has on his pants and shirt, though the shirt isn’t buttoned. Noah’s just as built as Coop.
Blake just has on his slacks. His whole enormous chest is on display. While Coop has well-defined arms, Blake is ripped. I just want to stroke his muscles. A white line that I hadn’t noticed before cuts along the ridge of his shoulder, a scar long past healing. Will I ever get the story behind it?
At the head of the table, Seth is dressed in slacks and his shirt, mostly buttoned.
Coop said they weren’t like this with any of the other women. Not all of them were in, but they all seem to be in with me. Of course, they said they haven’t done anything quite like this, where they offered this arrangement up front.
Just with me.
Would they have offered it to just anyone? Or am I special?
Seth clears his throat. I cross my legs and straighten.
“We’ve gone through most of the items on the agenda.”
My cheeks flush with heat, remembering holding myself open as he asked me those questions. Each question made me ache a little more. When they all lined up and stripped, it was like an all-you-can-lick buffet. Abs, chest, cocks. Fuck, these men have it all and I want it.
“Expectations.” Seth leans forward. His blue eyes lock with mine. “This is what burned us in the past.”
He releases me from his gaze as he looks at the others.
“This is a special situation, and we don’t want anyone to get hurt.”
He must mean me. I can’t see myself hurting any of these guys. That doesn’t mean their pride won’t get bruised. But they could easily break my heart. I haven’t guarded it like I should have.
Right now, I need to be a business professional. This is part of our work and our personal lives.
“We live together, work together, and fuck together,” Seth continues. “At some point, it may be hard not to develop certain feelings.”
My heart squeezes in my chest. Yup, if anyone is going to catch feelings, it would be me. It may be too late. But that doesn’t mean I want this to end. I’ll deal with the fallout when it happens. That’s something for Future Madison to worry about.
Blake clears his throat, drawing my attention. “We expect you not to get involved with anyone else while you’re with us. Not just physically, but emotionally. However, at any point, if you need to end this relationship, we can broach that subject.”
“So, this is a relationship?” I’m proud that my voice doesn’t shake at all as I meet Blake’s green eyes. It’s the question that’s been swirling around in my head. What is this? What’s my place in it? Do I get to call them mine? Or am I their dirty little secret?
“Of sorts.” He smirks. “Obviously not one that would work in the real world, but for us, it is as real as any relationship.”
The real world wouldn’t understand, but locked up here in this building, we are free to do as we please.
“We don’t just want to stick our cocks in you.” Coop’s voice makes me turn. “We like the things that come with a relationship too.”
“Like cuddling?” I raise an eyebrow. Because that’s what Coop did in the bathroom. He could have bent me over or had me on my knees—and I willingly would have done just that—but he just held me, and it felt nice. So fucking nice. I didn’t want it to end.
“Cuddling. Kissing. Holding hands.” Noah’s dark eyes light up when I meet them. “We don’t see this as transactional sex.”
“Neither do I.” I would never just have sex for money or a job, but this… I’m not even sure what this is, but I want it. I love the pleasure and the cuddling. I want it all.
“We’re asking for exclusivity.” Seth lets out a breath. “I know it’s been a lot of forms and making sure we’re on the same page sexually, but we want to know that you’ll be ours for the duration of our agreement. You only fuck us, and we only fuck you.”
It’s not like I have other offers pouring in. And I won’t need other offers if I have them. Though they said they would talk to me if they wanted to fuck someone else. “Of course.”
“You understand we will need to have dates occasionally to keep up appearances.” Seth taps the page in front of him. “Rachel made it clear that with the four of us not dating, the media takes notice. We’ve dealt with our relationships being leaked in the past and the fallout is unpleasant. We don’t need people digging into our situation.”
I don’t have to like it to understand it. “Of course.”
Seth leans back, holding my gaze steady. “Are you the type of woman who gets jealous and catty, Madison?”
