After entering the Dungeon, we followed Everest to the dimly lit room, and instead of turning the lights on, he lit candles then closed the door. I had to give him credit for the ambiance. But knowing how to strike a match was a far cry from knowing how to stroke a clit.
Phoenix rubbed his face in Penny’s hair. Not a chance I was going to let him get any more time with Penny before I got to please her. I cringed at my reaction. Could the green-eyed monster get inside my soul after such a short time? The possessive feelings hanging out in my chest indicated it could.
But I didn’t just want to possess her. I wanted to mark her. Breed her… I was so fucked. And I was one hundred percent willing to face whatever consequences our families brought down on us—on me.
Caressing Penny’s back, I said, “Ready to come to Daddy?”
Everest coughed and Phoenix grumbled. I didn’t care.
Penny’s voice was soft. “Am I dreaming?”
“You’re not, babygirl. Do you feel my hand?”
She nodded, still clinging to Phoenix.
I patted her bottom. “Do you want to find out what else I can do with my hand?”
My heart stuttered as she lifted her head, the first sign that she would let go of my brother.
“Take your time, sweetness.” Phoenix couldn’t be blamed for wanting to draw out every single second with our stepsister.
She put her hands on his chest. “It’s okay. I’m ready.”
Oh fuck! My cock got so hard, it found new levels of pain.
Phoenix relented as I wrapped my hands around her waist and brought her to my chest, but he added, “When I talked to Samuel, he reminded me that we need to talk about?—”
Nope. Not letting him take control. “We need to discuss your desires and your limits, babygirl.”
I would uphold the etiquette, but it was going to be hard. The only discussion I wanted to have centered around what color she wanted to paint our bedroom and how many bookcases she would need.
“I don’t know what they are.” Her voice took on some weight as she pulled out of the bliss. “I mean, in the normal world, Ihave… limits. Lots of things freak me out. But this feels so right. Do we have to talk?”
“If we want to play more we do.” Where did I find the fortitude to slow down? Reading about the Ranch and kink had definitely taught me something.
“I’m not afraid of this. It feels like…” She nuzzled her head against my neck.
When she didn’t finish her sentence, I said, “That’s a good start, but tell me how you feel, babygirl?”
“Safe. I feel safe with you… Daddy.” She was as in on this as I was. Or so it seemed. But one thing I’d learned was make no assumptions.
“That’s why we have to talk. I don’t want to do anything that could trigger you.” I explicitly excluded my brothers, which prompted both of them to voice agreement, but my ears were basically deaf to them.
“Can I take you to that chair and hold you while we establish boundaries?”
Comfort settled in her expression as she looked at the oversized chair and nodded.
In seconds, I had her nestled across my lap and braced myself. “Since you don’t know your intimate limits, how about you start by telling us what you’ve done that you’re comfortable with.”
Her body sagged into me. “I’m really not sure. I don’t have anyexperience.”
Having total control over my emotions served me well for that bomb drop. Well, almost total control. My dick twitched hard under her bottom and made her squirm.
Needing clarity, I made the question explicit. “Babygirl, I need you to be very clear about this. Remember, there’s no judgment. When you say you don’t have experience, do you mean you’ve never had sex?”
“That’s right.”
The world absolutely stopped moving for a second.
