Well, it was perfect.

It was everything I wanted.

Ray suddenly slid off the bed and vanished. Even Erik lifted his head with a frown and then made a sound. “He’s retrieving something.”

He was back thirty seconds later with black ribbons and a cane.

I shivered as Erik drew back, licking his lips. The two of them looked at each other and it clicked—theyhad beentalking to each other without me in their minds. I wanted to know what they were saying.

What were they planning to do to me.

“What do you have planned today?” Erik suddenly asked.

“No work today,” I sighed. “It’s my only day off, then tomorrow I fly to London.”

“What?” Ray hissed. “You’re leaving?”

“Yes,” I said. “But only for a few days, then I’ll be back. I’m sure you’ve both noticed I travel a lot. It’s because of my profession.”

Erik was staring at Ray, but I had no idea why. Ray’s brows furrowed and he shook his head, clearly disagreeing with Erik, but again I could not hear them. I had no idea what they were discussing.

A growl filled the room and Erik snapped his sharp teeth at Ray. “Tie her up, then.”

Oh?I perked up as Ray laid the cane on the bed and then knelt next to me.

“On your knees,” Erik instructed. “Both of you are going to be my little sluts right now. Ray is not going to touch you without my permission.”

My breath hitched. That was a dynamic I’d always dreamed about. Being touched and dominated by one person at the command of another.

We were both at the dark phantom’s mercy.

I got to my knees and lifted the shirt I didn’t remember putting on. I tossed it to the floor, now fully naked. I reached back and grabbed a hair tie from my side table and started to gather my curls, but Erik shook his head.

“No. I want your hair down. It’s useful to grab.”

I sighed dramatically and tossed the hairband back. “If you insist.”

“I do. Ray, I want you to bite her nipples. Use your sharp teeth.”

I swallowed hard as he nodded, his eyes softening as he looked at me. Before he leaned down to bite them, he brushed his mouth over mine. His kiss awakened every part of me, little embers catching and roaring to flames.

“Nipples,” Erik growled. “Don’t make me fucking punish you.”

Ray shot him a look. “I’m not feeling very obedient today.”

Suddenly, Erik was right behind Ray. Both of us squeaked as Erik rolled him over onto his stomach and pinned him down, pushing his head against the blankets right between my spread knees.

“I’ve had enough of this,” Erik said, his voice calm but harsh. “He’s being a brat. If you were mated to us, you’d hear his sassy remarks in your mind too.”

I gave him a devious smile. “I mean, if you think he needs a punishment . . .”

Erik smirked as Ray struggled beneath him. He leaned in to whisper next to his ear. “See? Our angel wants to see what I’d do to you.”

“Fuck you,” Ray bit out.

Oh gods. That did not go over very well. In a matter of seconds, Ray and I were both placed face down on the bed next to each other.

“What will you do to us?” I gasped.
