“Dinner is just about ready,” Enzo said, attempting to break the tension that was building in the room.He opened the back door and closed it behind him as the scent of the meat cooking floated inside.
While I wanted nothing more than to explore whatever this was with Violet, I knew he was right.Until we knew what was going on and why she was acting this way, we needed to sit back and not act on it.The last thing either of us wanted to do was accidentally hurt her.It was great that she was getting more comfortable pursuing what she wanted, but she was also brand-new at it.I wasn’t willing to let her do something she might regret just because my dick wanted to explore things with her.
“Do you need help?”Violet offered.
“I think we’re good, but thank you,” I answered as I finished cutting the last of the vegetables and added them to the salad bowl.
She nodded and took her bottle of wine to the table, sitting in her usual spot between Enzo and me.I swallowed hard, knowing how difficult it was going to be sitting next to her and being forced to keep my hands to myself.

It was fucking difficultto keep my eyes off of Violet during dinner, and I knew Asher was struggling with not touching her as much as I was.Once we all finished, we told her we would handle the cleanup so she could take the bath she had been talking about.Apparently, she had some new body wash she couldn’t wait to use, and we were the poor bastards who were left with blue balls, just thinking about her lathering it over her naked body.
I closed the dishwasher with a little more force than necessary, hearing Asher chuckle as he finished wiping down the counters.
“I’m going to go record for a bit,” I said, my tone gruff as I thought about what Violet was doing in the bathroom.
“Don’t you have enough content to last you a few months?”he teased, leaning against the counter as he folded his arms and crossed his ankles.
“Shut up,” I muttered.“Thanks to Violet, I’ll soon have enough content to last meyears.”
He nodded in agreement, and I knew that he had been recording more lately as well.It was like we were both so hard up for her that we needed a way to relieve all of the built-up tension, and neither of us was interested in finding another woman to help us.
“She’s changing,” Asher said as I started to walk away.
“What do you mean?”
I wasn’t sure whether he meant she was physically changing before she got into the bath or if he was being more metaphorical.
“I mean she’s changing.She’s coming out of her shell.”
“How so?”
I knew she was changing because I had noticed it too.But I wanted to hear his point of view to make sure I wasn’t just making shit up in my head while hoping she was getting one step closer to taking us up on our offer to play.
