Unleashing the Receptionist: ...the Receptionist, Book 3 by Juniper Bell Page B

“It’s too hard for you.”
    “Oh no, you’re not getting out of it now,” came Ethan’s gravelly voice. I put my arms around Simon and braced myself for more. “Poor blighter was a mess when they threw him into my cave. That’s how I thought of my cell—as a cave. No windows, dirt floor, animals guarding the opening. But I’d found my own means of survival. Occasionally I saw other prisoners, or a guard would show up who wasn’t a sadistic prick. From them I’d acquired stubs of candles, cigarettes, drugs, chocolate, utensils, other items. I shared everything with Simon.”
    “He did more than share,” said Simon. “He gave me first pick. He nursed my wounds. He wouldn’t let me give in to despair, and believe me, I would have. He was like a father bear, cuffing me into line. And one night, or maybe it was day, I often lost track, when the guards had tormented me and I’d reached the absolute bottom of the pit, he crawled over to me and put his mouth on my cock.”
    My startled glance flew to Ethan. Ethan rarely sucked Simon’s cock, or allowed a prick in his own ass. I suppose it happened, in the heat of the moment when we were all touching each other. But most often it was the reverse. Simon taking Ethan’s giant cock in his mouth.
    “He needed a release. He needed to remember there’s pleasure in this world. Fierce, dirty, glorious pleasure.”
    Their glances held. I felt privileged to be hearing this story. I didn’t make a sound, not wanting to interrupt the flow.
    “At first I didn’t know what to think. I’d never done anything like that with a man. But his touch was so soft and warm when everything else was harsh. It felt like…love. A taste of love gifted to me from a universe that didn’t want me to give in. And even though I wouldn’t have imagined feeling aroused when I was in such misery, my cock went stiff as a rifle butt. It took about half a minute for Ethan to suck me off, and I came harder than I ever had in my life. After that I slept for the first time since I’d gotten there.
    “The next morning I didn’t know if I’d dreamed it. Ethan said nothing, just sat with his back to the wall, his eyes long, blue slits of light in the darkness. Those eyes were like a beacon to me. Literally. I watched his eyes for hours. I clung to Ethan’s strength. That’s what got me through it. When the guards messed with me, it didn’t bother me as much anymore. And every night Ethan would come to me and take my penis into his mouth and suck me dry.”
    “You were stronger than you thought,” murmured Ethan.
    “Maybe. Probably. But it’s all in your mind, after all. You taught me that. Once I could see that my mind was my own, the guards couldn’t touch me. Not in the same way.”
    Ethan stared at the carpet, his jaw working. It felt strange that we were all on the floor, but also right. Almost as if we were re-enacting what had happened in the cave.
    “After some time,” continued Simon, “the tables turned, and it became my privilege to suck Ethan off. I made it clear to him what was in my heart, that my body belonged to him. That my loyalty, my love, would always belong to him. After that we became lovers in every possible way. As I said, I’d never been with a man before. But it didn’t matter to me whether Ethan was a man or a woman. He was Ethan. He saved me. That bond can’t ever be broken, though it’s been tested a few times.” He gave me a lopsided grin. “Like when I fell for you.”
    I shook my head. I was just a girl off the streets of Low-Life. What did these two incredible men see in me? “What happened?” I whispered.
    “Eventually Ethan told me he had an escape plan already worked out. He’d been on the verge of implementing it when I showed up. But now everything had changed. He didn’t have enough resources for both of us to get out. Only one of us could go. I was under his protection, as he saw it. Therefore that person had to be me. We fought about
