“Let’s take a bath, pip.”
Chapter 4
Dividends
Dante
Sara shifts gingerly on my lap. She’s more sore than she’s letting on. I lift her against me and take her into the bathroom. True to his word, Drew has the bath prepared. The room smells like flowers and herbs and a hint of citrus.
I sit on the edge of the tub with Sara on my lap. She trails her fingers down a strand of my hair. When she sighs, I tip her chin up to search her pale green eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
Her smile is sad. “We have to go soon.”
“Soon, but not now.” I run my finger over the curve of her jaw. “Why does that make you sad?”
“Because this ends.” She gestures to everything around her like the world is ending. Always so dramatic. I set her on her feet.
After I ease into the tub, I hold my hand out to help her in. She settles with her back against my front. She’s warm, soft, and small against me.
“I understand.” I do. Yesterday was a blur of sex. Here, we weren’t as concerned about getting dressed between. All that mattered was getting Sara off. There was no worrying about what anyone outside this room thinks about this. Just where and how we could fuck her next.
We definitely need to tip the housekeepers well.
Her fingers swirl in the water near my knee. “Do you think this will work out there?”
I swallow. “For us, yes. Once other people butt into it, things might get difficult.”
Her sigh goes through my whole body. After last night, it should be hard to get an erection, but not with Sara. Fuck, my hard cock presses insistently against her ass.
Not that I plan to do anything about it. She’s sore and needs to recuperate.
“My mom will probably call today.” Her voice is small. Her mother has always worried about her.
“Are you worried about that, pip?”
She rests her head against my shoulder and twists to look up at me. “I’ve done everything she’s asked me to. I’ve played the proper little society girl, but she’s going to know I spent the night in a hotel with Drew Young eventually.”
I lift a strand of her red hair and let it slip through my fingers. “You’re twenty-two, pip. You don’t have to worry about being a pristine virgin.”
Her delighted laugh echoes off the tile. “Yeah, that ship has finally sailed.”
“Regrets?” I tip her chin and search her eyes. I’ve always loved Sara’s eyes. The pale green color of fresh growth, new life.
She shakes her head. “No. Though I regret not doing it earlier.”
When I arch an eyebrow, she laughs. “Not with anyone else.”
“Good.”
She rests her cheek against my chest. “We need to get Peabody.”
I nod and don’t move an inch. What she said about leaving here settles in. Outside this room, what we are will change. The four of us were equals and united about what we wanted for Sara yesterday and this morning. But once we step out those doors, we have to face reality.
Our lives won’t change. Drew will date Sara in public. The four of us will fuck her in private. But outside our apartment, Sara will still be Tom’s little, off-limits sister.
Her wet skin clings to mine. The warm water surrounds us. The door is closed to the rest of the suite. It could be just me and her. She could be mine.
