And for the first time in his life, he was willing to do exactly that. Fight for what he wanted. And Stevie and Stone were the only two things he’d ever truly wanted. Now that he had a chance to have them, he wasn’t about to pass that up. Not without a fight.
***
Stevie didn’t know how they’d gotten here.
One minute, they were having breakfast; the next, she was crushed between Nico and Stone.
Although she didn’t want to admit it, she’d never felt more alive than right now. Here, with both of them. And yes, she was filled with too many emotions to count. Hate. Lust. Love. The last one was what she had a problem with because if she allowed herself to love Stone again, she was going to end up getting hurt.
But if Nico was willing, would she be hurting him by fighting this? His presence made it bearable. He had the ability to settle the chaos. She trusted him implicitly.
Worst case, if Stone disappeared again, she would have Nico, right? He’d told her he loved her. Yes, it had been in the heat of the moment, and he hadn’t mentioned it since, but surely there’d been a fraction of truth to it. Then again, Stone had tossed out the sentiment more than once since he showed up on their doorstep last night, so she wasn’t convinced it meant the same to them as it did to her.
And yet, she was entertaining his proposal.
Stone’s thumb brushed along her jaw, his hand still firmly around her neck. He wasn’t applying pressure, merely holding her, but it was so erotic. No one had touched her like that but him.
Nico jerked the cups of her bra down, freeing her breasts, surprising her by the roughness of his touch. It sent sparks skating across her skin.
“Oh, God.” She moaned, leaning into him as he plucked her nipples.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Stone watching, his gaze boring into her. Pure lust radiated from every pore, and she found herself desperate to soak it up. It pissed her off that he still had that much power over her. At the same time, it made her feel alive.
Before she realized what was happening, Nico pulled her sweatshirt over her head, but her arms were still in the sleeves. He grabbed the fabric, twisting it so that her arms were pinned behind her. She had nowhere to go. Stone was in front, Nico behind.
She tried to pull away, but they held her tighter.
Stevie gasped when Stone dropped to his knees and took her breast in his mouth. The heated suction dragged a moan from her. Her body betrayed her as she thrust her chest forward, silently urging Stone for more.
Nico bent down, his mouth near her ear. “This is what you want, Stevie. It’s what you’ve always wanted.”
“No,” she argued, watching as Stone licked and sucked her nipple.
She gasped again when Nico cupped the back of Stone’s head while he feasted on her breast. That simple touch ignited a firestorm in her veins.
It was true. The three of them were combustible together. She’d known it sincethat night. She’d fantasized about it for so long. Even after she gave up hope that Stone would come back, she’d imagined what it would be like if the three of them were together again. She’d tried to replace Stone with other men, but she’d always come back to this very scenario because, while she hated to admit it, Stone was irreplaceable. So was Nico.
“I’ve waited years to see him do that,” Nico whispered in her ear. “To watch him feast on you.”
She inhaled sharply when Stone bit her nipple before moving to the other one.
“You want our hands on you,” Nico continued.
“Yes,” she said, although she didn’t mean for the word to come out.
“Only us.”
“Yes.” Even as she admitted it, she tried to fight them. It was part of the game, and she knew they understood that.
Nico pinned her arms tighter, his mouth sliding along her jaw, lower. He sucked on her neck while Stone bit her nipple.
She fought some more, loving the way they held her more firmly. It was their dominance that she craved. It made her burn hot.
Stone’s mouth released her, and she tried to squirm away again. She thought for a second he was going to relent because he shifted away. But he was only reaching for the stool, dragging it closer. He shoved it toward Nico.
Then Stone was roughly jerking her leggings down, her panties with them. When she was naked from the waist down, he reached for the front clasp of her bra, unhooking it and letting it flap open.
She wasn’t sure what they were doing, but then Nico pulled her backward onto the stool. He still had her arms shackled behind her, but he kept her from falling by using his body.
