He’d taken the weight of it.
Landon had never seen himself the way I did. He didn’t see how effortlessly he wielded power. How he led by helping those in front of him let go of their fears and pain.
Why would you do that?
Why wouldn’t I?
Everything inside me pulled toward him as he stepped around me...until my eyes fell on her.
Just like the first time, that force inside me shifted. Creating space where, for so long, there’d been nothing. Adding color where, for a decade, there’d been only muted, washed-out shades of gray.
Vivid, vibrant, andreal.
She looked like a strong breeze might push her over the edge, so I wanted to be the air that swept her up and carried her over it.
And I wasted no time in doing so.
Joining her on the bed, I settled between her legs and lay my body over hers. Cradling her face in my hands. Kissing her trembling lips. A tremor running through her body as it ached for more.
Whatever she needed, I wanted to give it.
And even though I trusted him. Trusted that they’d explored her limits together and knew them well. This was newto us. So before I followed any orders, I checked on her.
“Is this alright, love?”
She kissed me, nodding eagerly. “Yes. Please, Kingston. I want it—thiswith both of you.”
She bucked her hips beneath me, but then she pulled back.
“Are you alright? Is this…” Her eyes searched mine.
“Yes,” I whispered, although my heart protested. “I’m good, love.”
The dip in her brow deepened, her hands twitching in the restraints like she wanted to touch me. But when I smiled, she nodded, shifting her hips to line up our bodies to allow me inside her.
With her eyes on mine, I obeyed Landon’s order. Thrusting in as gently, but urgently, as I could.
Three satisfied groans echoed in the dark room.
Awareness pulling back to him, I took a breath before all I felt was her. The slick, wet heat of her body. The tight clench of her walls around me.
Her warmth. Her inner strength. And the way our bodies fit together perfectly.
I withdrew only to drive back inside her, her moans encouraging me to go faster. Fall deeper. And love her harder. She wanted more. Because she didn’t yet realize she had it.
Hips surging forward, she bucked to meet me as much as she could. Her breasts pressed against my chest. And my mouth sought and tasted every inch of her skin.
She wanted more.
So, I gave her everything.
Landon
Watching them together felt like reliving a dream.
The way he touched her, spoke softly to her, and took care of her in quiet ways I recognized but couldn’t pinpoint from where I remembered them. Even though I had ordered it, his sole focus was her.
I stood on the outside of it, wanting to be lost in that moment with them.
