“I did.”
“And they said yes?”
“They did.”
“You’re either a genius or completely insane.”
“Probably both.” I finished my gin and tonic. “But I think this is going to be interesting.” I couldn’t tell him my thoughts, but now I had all kinds of fantasies building in my mind.
“Interesting is one word for it.” Majesty laughed and clapped me on the shoulder. “Good luck, brother. You’re going to need it.”
Maybe I was. But as I watched Scarlett and Iris disappear into the crowd, still moving as one unit, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d just stumbled onto something rare. A goddamn goldmine worth pursuing. Maybe this is exactly what all three of us needed.
Tomorrow would tell me if this was the oddest plan I’d ever come up with or if my instincts were still the best trait I had. I had a feeling about them.
When I walked by and saw them together on a couch, I slowed my steps to take them in. Iris was sitting and Scarlett’s head was in her lap. Iris casually massaged her scalp while Scarlett’s eyes were closed. Scarlett laid on her side facing the room, peace relaxed her features reminding me of a kitten being petted. Iris watched her as if she were the only thing in the world that could protect her from harm.
Watching the two of them in their safe space, felt like I was watching an aftercare session between lovers. It was more intimate than some of the sexual scenes I’d witnessed.
Maybe they didn’t realize that they are a package deal, but I did. And I wanted them exactly how they were. Unfiltered and raw, like in this moment. Getting them to see themselves the way I did was going to take work, a lot of trust, and thinking outside the box.
That was my goddamn specialty.
I approached Majesty and he was kissing the hell out of some curvy Missy that was wrapped all around him. When he gripped her ass and cornered her against the wall I cleared my throat.
“This must be Cami.” I chuckled.
This son a bitch had told me that he was sprung over some sassy woman. He’d never mentioned how beautifully curvy she was or that she was sexy as hell. I loved that for him.
“Yes, Sir,” she muttered, curling into Majesty. “And you are?”
“Baby, this is Hayden Armstrong. He couldn’t make it to the in class presentations, so he’ll get the replay. He’s one of my best friends.” Majesty said.
“Hello.” She nodded at me. “Nice to meet you, Sir.”
Yeah, he was a lucky son of a bitch. “Thank you.” I stretched my arms, feeling the ache in my shoulders from my long flight. “I’m going to turn in for the night. Got a long day tomorrow.”
Majesty’s lips tilted up in a knowing smirk. “Rest up, because you’ll need your A-game.”
“Don’t I know it?” I gave him a quick fist bump before moving toward the exit.
Iris and Scarlett were gone so I’d missed the opportunity to see them one more time. That was okay, because seeing them on the couch was a memory I couldn’t erase if I wanted to.
Chapter Thirty-One
Cami
I woke to the smell of coffee and something sweet baking. For a moment, I just lay there, stretching in the tangle of sheets, my body pleasantly sore from last night. Watching Majesty demonstrate rope work had been incredible, but what came after, when we’d gotten back to the cabin and both my Doms had their hands on me—that had been transcendent.
The bedroom door creaked open. Lex appeared carrying a tray, and behind him, Majesty balanced another.
“Good morning, babygirl,” Lex said, setting his tray on the nightstand.
I sat up, pulling the sheet around me. “What’s all this?”
“Breakfast in bed,” Majesty said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. He settled on one side of me while Lex took the other, boxing me in deliciously.
The tray held heart-shaped waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, perfectly crispy bacon, and fresh orange juice. Mmm...
