Silas smirks.
I run my thumb over the spot I just struck. “You were reckless. Brilliant. Terrifying.”
She trembles again.
Silas leans down, breath at her ear. “You’re not alone anymore. You don’t get to act like you are.”
I slide my hand between her thighs, not touching where she needs it, just close enough she arches, desperate.
“Gideon,” she whispers, begging.
“Not yet,” I breathe.
Silas curls a hand into her hair and gently turns her face toward the foot of the bed—toward the corner where Talon sits, rigid and wide-eyed.
“Look at him,” Silas orders.
Her eyes lift to where Talon sits, wide-eyed, breath shallow, chest heaving. The moment their gazes lock, something electric snaps through the room.
Talon slowly presses his thighs together like he’s holding himself in place.
Penelope moans at the sight of him losing composure.
I drag two fingers through her folds, causing her to whimper.
Silas murmurs, “You’re going to come only when Gideon says so.”
She nods helplessly.
“And Talon…”
I look at him.
He jerks upright. “Y-yeah?”
“You don’t touch your cock until she tells you.”
His breath stops. “Okay.”
“Tell me the truth,” I say, rubbing her clit in fast circles.
Talon’s eyes darken.
“About what?”
Penelope cries out, and I stop playing with her tiny nub and sink my digits into her tight cunt. “Can you handle sharing her?”
His throat bobs. His gaze drags over her body, the way she’s arching for my hand, the way Silas holds her steady with one hand on her shoulder and one kneading her breast.
“I want her,” he whispers. “And I want her to be happy. Even if… even if that means all of us.”
Penelope makes a small, broken sound, like that confession hit her deeper than any touch.
Silas brushes her cheek with his knuckles. “Then sit back. Watch her fall apart for us. And when you’re ready… you’ll learn how to have her too.”
Talon grips the arms of the chair like it’s the only thing keeping him upright.
I lean in close to Penelope’s ear, fingers thrusting in and out of her soaked hole, her inner walls begging me to give her release.
