He smiles. “You get this wrinkle between your eyebrows when you process things.”
“I do not.” I rub between my eyebrows and frown.
Eli chuckles. “You do, kitten. So what’s on your mind?”
“The unknown.” I sigh. I can try to plan for any number of things, but in reality, I just have to take things as they come.
“Deep.” Eli nods. “Not that I don’t enjoy finding you in my bedroom, but why are you on?”
Heat fills my cheeks. “I accidentally took Jack’s homework, and he asked me to get on webcam. Then it seemed like he was going to come over, but he didn’t. And Luke said he lied about finishing his homework so he should have gone down on me and not the other way around. And I don’t know why I’m still talking.”
I snap my lips closed and shake my head.
“Where are Luke and Jack?” Eli glances at the other empty screens.
I shrug. “Jack said something came up. Luke just finished a shower and went off some direction.”
Eli gives an acknowledgment of my statement and picks up his pen.
“How are you after today?” Eli slides his pen through his fingers.
“Honestly a little sore, but fine.” I touch my warm cheeks. The sun has set outside, and darkness presses against my windows. I haven’t been alone all that much since the horsemen took ownership of me. “Can I ask you a question, Eli?”
“Sure, but I can always refuse to answer it.” He tips back a little in his chair. His dark eyes are focused on me.
“That’s fair.” I almost bite my lip, but stop myself. “What are the expectations now?”
Eli leans his elbows on the desk and cocks an eyebrow. “Expectations?”
“We’ve done what you guys set out to do.” I gesture vaguely in the air. Heat swamps my cheeks. “So now what?”
Eli grins. “We didn’t just want a taste. We own you, kitten. As to expectations, I’m sure we all have different needs.”
I cross my legs, thinking about their needs. About my needs.
“We’ll get more time with you alone, but still do things together.”Eli draws his fingers across his lips. “I won’t lie. We’re going to want to fuck you. A lot. We all have different desires.”
“What do you like?” My mind goes to the chair, being restrained and used for their desire. What he said to me about needing to remember my safe word with him. Right before Luke held me down for Eli to fuck.
“We’ll always talk before we play, but you’ve experienced some of how I like to play. Tying you down. Using you. Punishing you. We’ll get a little rough occasionally.” Eli leans in. “We’ll start slow, kitten.”
I cross my legs against the ache Jack promised to ease. It’s back with a vengeance.
“You curious, kitten?”
“A little,” I breathe out.
A knock sounds on my door.
Eli straightens. “Expecting someone?”
“No.” I hesitate, and the knock comes again. I glance at the other screens, but no one else is in their room. Luke didn’t say he was coming over, and if he did, he probably wouldn’t knock. He’d just appear.
“Kitten?” Eli says as I stand.
“Yeah?” I brush my hair behind my ear.
“Point me at the door.”
