“I’m not sure that’s the right word. But I’m not in any pain if that’s what you mean.”
He presses a soft kiss to my shoulder. “Time for your rules, Mama.”
“Rules?”
He huffs out a laugh. “You think you’re going to have four men who crave control fuck you and there won’t be any rules?”
I swallow as my heart kicks up another notch. It’s going to beat right out of my chest before any of them even touch me if I’m not careful. “What are the rules?”
“First, and most importantly, if at any time you are in pain or you’re uncomfortable, you will say your safe word. None of us will be upset if you need to stop or slow down. This is new to us all, and the last thing we want is for it to not be enjoyable for you.”
“What’s my safe word?”
“We’ll go with the traffic light system for now,” Ryker replies. “It’s easy to remember for all five of us.” He glances around the room at each of the guys. “This is a new dynamic, and it’s important that we are all comfortable. Red for stop, and orange for slow down.”
A soft smile tugs at my lips, because of course it’s Ryker that’s worried about everyone’s comfort. He’s been all in on this since he realized this is what I wanted, and he’s done everything in his power to make it happen for me.
Once everyone nods their understanding, Kingston presses another kiss to my shoulder and continues, “Next, you are not to come until you’re given permission. Your punishment will include denial because I don’t want to risk hurting you while you’re recovering, but this is a blanket rule for any scene I am a part of. Do you understand?”
“Yes.” The ache between my thighs throbs, and every time I look down to see his huge hands splayed across my soft skin, I’m shoved closer to an edge I won’t be allowed anywhere near.
“You are to follow any order we give you immediately and without question. The only exception to this is if you need to say your safe word. We are going to do our best not to give you conflicting orders, but this is new and it is going to be a learning curve in the beginning.”
“I understand.”
“Such a good girl,” he croons as one of his hands moves higher, pausing so close to my pussy that I suck in a harsh breath.
“We’ll add to your rules over time as things develop, but for now we’ll keep it simple.” He rests his chin on my shoulder and widens his legs further until mine can’t spread any further. “Now, why don’t you tell us about the book you were reading today?”
Heat rises to my cheeks and I swallow heavily. “Do I have to?” I whimper.
He chuckles. “Yes, you have to. Or did you forget that following orders is one of your rules?”
I shake my head. “No, I didn’t forget. It’s just…”
“You have no reason to be embarrassed, Duchess,” Damon says, tugging my attention to where he’s sitting with his elbows resting on his knees, watching me with such intensity it takes my breath away.
He’s the only one I haven’t been with intimately and the one I’m most nervous to join whatever it is that we’re building here.
Not because I want him any less than the others, or because I’m worried there’s still animosity between us. No, I’m scared that the tension that’s been building between us since we were teenagers is going to destroy me.
“Don’t get shy on us now, Mama,” Kingston murmurs against the shell of my ear, sending a shiver through my entire body.
I pull in an unsteady breath. “It’s the second book in a series about a group of mafia men who find the female main character sleeping in the alley behind their home, and they immediately take her in,” I explain. “The first book focused on growing their individual relationships with her, but there’s been a lot of group scenes in this one.”
“Tell us about one of the group scenes,” Kingston urges.
Heat rushes over my skin, but I force the anxiety down. They’re not doing this to embarrass me, so I have no reason to be worried.
“The female character has had a few encounters with more than one of the guys at once, but one night she blurts out that she wants them all to fuck her at once, and they are more than happy to give her everything she wants. The leader is a bit of a voyeur, and he loves to watch the others with her, so he calls the shots from the corner while the others take their turns with her.”
“And do they fuck all her holes, or do they take turns in her cunt?” Kingston asks.
A soft moan slips from my lips at his filthy mouth. “Her mouth and her pussy, but the leader wanted them all to come inside her. They’re desperate to get her pregnant, and they have a rule that they can only come inside her pussy.”
Kingston groans against my shoulder. “So they have a breeding kink?”
“Yes,” I reply.
