“You’re right. I want to play your game,” she admitted in a breathy voice.

I could feel the wide grin cross my face as I thought of how I wanted to play this out. Gripping her hips, I lifted her ass up, pulled the underwear aside, and dove right in. The delicious cry that erupted out of her when I gave her clit a sharp suck almost had me coming in my jeans. Everything I did was to draw out the experience, changing speed and pressure, and pulling away long enough to play with her ass and force her pussy to calm down before I coaxed it back to the edge.

It was a careful process to edge someone correctly because once you let them come that first time, it was impossible to get the same effect. At that point, you had to stop, let her body reset, and try again later.

Nine came out of the bathroom and paused to watch what was happening with an approving smile. Rounding the bed, he crawled over to Nic and kissed her senseless, greedily drinking in the sounds I was forcing from her.

“You and Rambler have a good day together, Kitten. I’m going to work, but if you need anything, Rambler always knows how to reach me,” Nine said, giving her one last kiss before getting to his feet and giving me a salute before heading out.

Part of me didn’t know if I should laugh at how ridiculous that whole interaction was or be proud of the fact neither of us was bothered by it. Either way, I would take it as a win and roll with it because it was another confirmation we were going to be able to figure this out. I continued to torture her a little longer, wanting her to know that there was no connection between me stopping and Nine having interacted with us. A shaking, shivering mess, Nic lay there a moment as I pulled back, just twitching as if her body was desperately trying to make the orgasm I’d kept from her happen.

“Holy fuck, I feel like I’m high right now,” Nic mumbled. “No, high isn’t the right word. It’s like I’m so desperate for a climax that I’m going to explode. Yet at the same time, it makes my brain feel so fuzzy, and my body tingles all over. Fuck, this is the weirdest feeling, and we’re not even going to talk about how pissed my lioness is right now.”

I slapped her on the ass in a more playful manner and laughed. “Come on, pet, let’s get you up and dressed. I got my fill of you, but now I’m starving for some real food.”

It was at this point Nic started to laugh as she rolled over. “Oh, you have got to be kidding me. You’re seriously going to leave me like this and expect me to go out in public?”

“I thought I was pretty clear on what my plans were if you wanted to play games,” I reminded her. “If you wanted to be treated like a good girl, then you should have acted like one.”

Sitting bolt upright in bed, she gawked at me. “Hold up. You’re being super fucking serious about this, aren’t you.”

“Which part?” I questioned, curious as to why she was so surprised.

“I can tell how turned on you are, not to mention the bulge pressing against your jeans is a dead giveaway. You’re going to just leave us both in this state of blue balls, or blue bean in my case, so we can go have breakfast?”

Nodding, I smirked as I stood, offering her a hand. “Yes, you’re correct on all fronts. I enjoy delayed gratification for myself as well as my partner. When I actually get to fuck you at some point today, the feeling we’ll both experience is going to be explanation enough as to why I do this.”

She glowered at me, crossing her arms which pushed her breasts together, making my mouth water. Just because I liked to deny myself didn’t mean it was easy. The temptation was the hardest it had ever been to just give in, take her back to my place, and spend the day making her scream my name. Yet I wasn’t lying about what would happen if we waited. It was an experience unlike anything I’d found through other substances.

Letting out a huff, she grabbed my hand and let me pull her out of bed. I pressed Nic against me for a moment, letting her feel just how fucking turned on I was, causing a small whimper to slip out of her mouth. That sound I couldn’t resist, so I kissed her, nipping at her lips until she opened for me. Our tongues seemed to stroke each other like we wished other things could be worked over, but the wait would be worth it. Breaking the kiss, I turned Nic toward the bathroom and gave her a little shove.

“Don’t even think about taking care of your needs because I’ll know the second you try. Doing that will only make your wait that much longer,” I warned as she shut the bathroom door.

“I’ll be good,” she offered, but I didn’t really believe she’d hold out for long.

One of the things I wanted to do today was take her to purchase some personal items. I knew we had clothes, but everyone needed to feel like they owned stuff. Yeah, she wouldn’t be the one buying it yet. However, it would still be things that were hers alone to use. We’d have breakfast, then I planned to come back and get one of the pride’s vehicles to take Nic shopping. If any of the others wanted to join us, I’d be fine with it as long as the morning was mine. I couldn’t quite place the source of the feeling, but I knew my tiger, and I needed some one-on-one time with our girl.

It didn’t take Nic long to get ready, and when she opened the bathroom door, she was dressed, with a freshly washed face and styled her hair half up, half down, keeping it out of the way. Not having much experience with women outside of the sweetbutts that did everything possible to gain all the attention, I never realized how attractive it was to see a woman so comfortable in their own skin. Obviously, there was no option for her to use makeup, but she hadn’t mentioned it or complained either. She used what we provided without one comment about it being things she didn’t like or want to use. My guess was she didn’t have many options with the wee little leprechaun either and just became used to it.

“Ready?” I asked, grabbing my jacket.

As I did, I spotted Nic’s hanging on the wall as well, so I grabbed it for her. I held it up like I’d seen those suave men do in the movies for the ladies they were trying to impress and was rewarded with a sweet smile.

“Thank you,” she murmured. “I just have to get shoes on, then we’re good to go.”

Not wanting to rush, I calmly leaned against the counter and took in Nine’s space. If he was going to make this the apartment she kept her stuff in, I felt like we needed to make some adjustments. With it being only one bedroom, I thought making the small cut out into her space might be nice since Nine just had random shit stacked up over there.

“Why do you look like you’re about to toss open the door and announce this space is getting an interior makeover?” Nic asked as she stepped into my line of sight. “I’m really okay with how he has things. It’s his space. Let him live in it the way he wants to.”

“That’s the thing. It’s not just his space anymore,” I pointed out. “He even said it himself last night. It’s yours as well to do with as you like. If he’s being serious, then we need to clear some things out or rearrange so when you bring up your stuff, there’s some place to put it all.”

“Lucky him, I have no stuff,” she said, and I truly believed it didn’t bother her the way it should.

Wrapping an arm around Nic’s shoulders, I guided her out of the apartment and locked the door. “That’s going to change after today. I plan on dealing with that problem after we’ve eaten.”

Digging in her heels, she looked up at me. “Look, I didn’t say that to make you feel bad and need to buy me shit. Give me a job, or better yet, let me on the crew, and I’ll make my own money just fine.”

“Nic,” I reproached. “That is not how this is going to work between all of us. Look, we are the ones responsible for upending your life, making it so you lost all your belongings. The least we can do is supply you with the basics, your own toothbrush, deodorant, shit like that. None of us are looking to make you a kept woman who can’t provide for herself. I thought we made that clear when we got here, but if you need us to explain it every day so you feel better, then that’s what we’ll do.”
