kept urging me to wake.
“Good morning, sweetheart.”
I’d know Luca’s voice anywhere, but it was the warm lips against my mouth that startled me completely awake. Sprawled across the massive bed, my body was ultra-aware of his gaze caressing each displayed inch of bare flesh. I yanked at the sheet tangled behind my legs and pulled it over my chest.
“Awe…don’t do that, Lora,” Luca reprimanded, leaning down and folding the sheet at my waste. “I enjoy looking at you. You’re so beautiful in the morning.”
“I’m naked,” I objected, tugging on the sheet.
“Sweetheart.” He stilled my hand, returned the covers to my waist, all while shaking his head with an amused grin on his face. “You’re lucky I chose to bring you coffee in bed.” He leaned behind me and fluffed my pillows, then helped me sit up just a bit and placed the mug in my hands. “If you ever pull a stunt like that with Jake, that pretty ass of yours will be on fire for much longer than you’ll like.”
I sucked in a stunned breath, but my body flushed at his implication. “Jake would spank my ass?”
“In a heartbeat.”
The heat sizzled on my skin and my nipples hardened. “Would you?”
“Only for your pleasure, not for punishment. Jake is the disciplinarian.” He cupped my right breast and strummed his thumb over the straining peak. “From your reaction, I gather both thoughts excite you.”
I didn’t reply, holding my silence and reveling in the sensation building in my chest. I lowered my gaze and watched Luca’s hand move with slow tenderness over my chest. His thumb brushed across the dark peaks in gentle strokes, right to left, then in slow circles. I arched my back against his touch, and he responded with a tight squeeze that shot excitement straight to my core. Moisture immediately pooled between my legs, and I fought the urge to reach between them and bring myself to orgasm.
“You’re so responsive, sweetheart. Submitting to us was the best thing you could have decided on.” He lowered his head and captured the free nipple between his lips. His tongue mimicked the movement of his thumb on the other breast, and his teeth nipped a little harder than his fingers pinched.
“Luca,” I breathed, tangling my fingers in his hair. “You’re going to make me come just playing with my breasts. I don’t know how to feel about enjoying your touch like this after the night I’ve shared with Mark.”
Guilt settled in my stomach, holding any orgasm at bay. How could I want Mark and Luca, plus be excited by the thought of Jake punishing me, all at the same time? Did it make me desperate? Was I a slut?
I released my hold on Luca and pushed back against the pillows. I needed space.
“You submitted,” a familiar, yet sterner than usual, voice announced from the doorway. Jake stepped forward, holding my gaze with intense determination. “There’s no room for hesitation. No room for remorse. We’ve taken full responsibility for you and all the consequences belong to us. You don’t need to think about a thing. You don’t need to decide or battle with any intrusive ideas. It is your job to allow your body to respond and feel. Most importantly, you must trust us. Trust us to care for you, to see to your needs, and absorb any conflict that may cross your mind. Do you trust us? Accept us?”
He sat on the other side of the mattress, and raised his hand to cup my cheek. “Accept me? Trust me?”
My body certainly did. The tiny nub at the center of my legs throbbed with acceptance. The wet folds swelling to the point in which I had to spread my thighs to calm the ache.
“I’ve always trusted you,” I replied, running shaky fingertips over the dark stubble lining his jaw. I had no doubt that I trusted and wanted the men beside me. “It’s me that I doubt.”
“Well, that’s no longer your concern,” Jake replied very matter of fact. “It’s our issue. You’ve given us the privilege of your
