Did I care?
Not a bit.
We wouldn’t be hurting anyone by doing this and that was the only thing that mattered. Safe and consensual was the name of the game. I read that in one of the books, by the way.
So, if you thought about it that way, wouldn’t you want to jump on the train and ride it out, too?
If your answer was no, then perhaps you don’t want to find out what comes next.
Then again, since you get to live vicariously through me, why the hell not?

BOSS MEETING
——————————————————
Landon
CONSIDERING JUSTIN WOULD BE OUT of town for the remainder of the week, I scheduled some time for the four of us to discuss the outcome from that morning’s meeting. Not wanting to draw attention to it, I waited until Luci left for the day before they joined me in my office.
There was no reason to call out the fact that it had gone better than we’d expected. That was a given. It had been quite an eventful meeting and I was sure I wasn’t the only one who was eager to see where things went.
“I still want us to take things slow with Luci,” Langston stated after I poured the four of us a drink. “She’s sweetly naïve and I don’t want her to think we’re only out for one thing. She’s the best damn secretary we’ve had.”
“Agreed.” Justin was studying his glass and I could tell he had something on his mind.
“Do you have concerns?” I asked him directly.
His gaze lifted, jumping over each of us. “I think we’re going to get more than we bargained for.” He didn’t sound happy about that admission.
“How so?” Langston asked.
“She’s obviously eager,” Justin clarified.
“Okay. I’m not sure how that’s a bad thing.” I was more than happy with how things had turned out that morning. Watching Justin finger Luci in the meeting, watching her come apart in his arms… I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Well, other than the fact I’d wanted to instruct her to drop to her knees and take my cock in her mouth. That would’ve been the best outcome, but I wasn’t disappointed.
“The question is how we’re gonna handle it.” Langston took a sip of his scotch.
“Do we take turns?” Ben asked.
Justin turned directly to Ben. “In this instance, you will not play with Luci without express direction from me.”
Admittedly, I was a little surprised by Justin’s response. In the past few months, it seemed he’d grown more possessive of Ben. The man was a Dom, after all. And Ben was his submissive. It didn’t matter that Ben was a switch. Anyone with eyes could see that Ben was submissive only to Justin.
Ben nodded. “Understood, Mr. Parker. And I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
Justin seemed content with Ben’s answer.
“There are four of us,” Langston said, “and one of her. I think it’s safe to say we’re gonna have to go easy on her in the beginning.”
Well, that was a given. As it was, I wanted to fuck her three times a day. Multiply that by four and we would quickly break the girl.
“Definitely,” I agreed. “Luci told me she hasn’t dated in a while. Except for some douchebag who walked out on her and made her pay for dinner. Which, I can only assume, means she hasn’t had sex in a while either.”
“He made her pay for dinner?” Langston glowered. “What a dick.”
Justin’s eyes darkened. “I’m under that impression as well. She’s not the type for casual sex.”
Langston continued to frown. “Then why the fuck did we enter into this agreement with her? I thought the whole point was to be casual.”
Justin’s reaction was a little heated. “Like that’s going to happen.” He looked at me, then back to Langston. “Can you honestly tell me that you two aren’t eager to see where this goes with her?”
I didn’t respond. As an unspoken rule, I tended to follow Langston’s lead when it came to the submissives we took. He knew I was looking for more, but I knew he wasn’t. My brother had been burned early on and he wasn’t eager to do it again. Hence the reason he tended to only play with submissives at the club. For at least five years, I hadn’t known him to have dated anyone or to have taken a sub for longer than a couple of weeks at the most.
In the same sense, I saw the way he looked at Luci. He was as captivated as the rest of us.
“Are there any additional rules?” Ben asked. “Between the four of us?”
That was the question of the hour. The truth was, we hadn’t yet found a woman who was eager to be shared between the four of us. There had been two women before Luci who had agreed. Each had quickly let us know that she had feelings for one of us and had thought by agreeing that she would be able to pick and choose.
