All of the things that had been on the nightstand in Stevie’s room.
Had she moved in here? Were they now sharing a bed?
Stone swallowed hard, ignoring the hurt that took up residence in his chest. He’d been hanging onto the notion that they were still roommates, and the three of them were exploring this thing together.
Evidently, he was wrong.
He cleared his throat and opened the drawer. The box of condoms was still there. As was the pump bottle of lubricant. Stone retrieved both, intending to give Nico a condom, but when he turned back, it no longer mattered.
Stevie was sitting astride Nico, his cock lodged deep inside her.
Stone tried to hide his surprise, but he knew Nico saw it.
“She’s on the pill.”
“I know.” And he did, but it didn’t lessen the pang of disappointment that ripped through him. Stone had fucked her without a condom, and as he’d told her before, he trusted her. He knew Nico would as well. But still. Stone had mistakenly believed that this was something new for all of them. Right or wrong, he felt betrayed, andthat… well, it fucking hurt.
Not that he didn’t deserve it.
Shrugging off the emotional turmoil, Stone pumped lubricant into his hand, coating his fingers before rubbing a generous amount on Stevie’s asshole. When he did, she stopped moving.
“Just my fingers this time,” he promised, his tone flat.
When she began rocking again, fucking Nico, Stone made good on that promise even as it felt like his heart was crumbling into dust.

“Stone…” Stevie wanted more but he wasn’tdelivering. “Please.”
She wanted all of him, but she knew that wasn’t his intention. She wasn’t sure whether he was punishing her or himself, but no matter how much she begged, he wouldn’t fuck her ass. But this was good, too. Or it would’ve been, except he wasn’t putting much effort into it.
“Stone?”
“Lean forward,” he ordered, pressing one hand on her back when he put one knee on the bed.
Stevie dropped her chest to Nico’s, relaxing against him when he claimed her mouth while his cock tunneled deep inside her. It felt good, but she wanted more. She wanted to feel them both inside her at the same time.
She whimpered when Stone added another finger. He stretched her back hole, but she could tell he was holding back. She wasn’t sure what had changed, but she’d felt the shift as soon as she seated herself on Nico’s cock. If she hadn’t been watching their reflections in the glass door, she would’ve been none the wiser, but she’d witnessed Stone’s surprise when he turned back to find Nico buried to the hilt inside her.
He didn’t say anything, but the way he’d tossed the condoms aside told her what he wasn’t saying. And then Nico had clarified that she was on the pill, and she knew what his problem was.
Why? That was the question. Why was he bothered by it? He trusted her, right? He’d said he did. Did he not trust Nico? Or was this some fucked up male pride that was getting in his way?
Whatever it was, it was ruining the mood, and that pissed her off.
“Stop,” she said, pushing herself up.
Nico stopped instantly, his concern etched on his face as he stared up at her.
Stone backed off, too, but rather than wait to see what she had to say, he disappeared into the bathroom.
She heard the water turn on, figured he was washing his hands.
“What’s wrong?” Nico asked, his voice low.
“That’s the question, isn’t it?” she retorted, climbing off of him as Stone joined them. “Are you mad that we’re not usin’ a condom?”
“Mad? No. Surprised? Yes.”
