Chapter Nine

Ashlyn

I sighed in contentment. After our intense sex in the conservatory, Marco had carried me upstairs and given me a bath. He’d washed and brushed my hair, telling me how sweet and beautiful I was in his deep, rumbling voice.

By the time Joseph returned home, I was completely relaxed, cuddled against Marco on the couch while we watched Arrested Development. Marco seemed to favor comedies, whereas Joseph enjoyed serialized dramas. I liked both, but I enjoyed snuggling up to them on the couch more than I cared about the show.

I beamed at Joseph when he joined us in the media room. He took one look at me cuddled in Marco’s arms and grinned.

“Did you have a good day, then, angel?” he asked, closing the distance between us. He sat on my other side, wrapping his arm around me and pressing a quick kiss against my lips.

“Wonderful, thanks,” I told him with genuine enthusiasm. “I’m glad you’re back.”

I’d loved my special day with Marco, but I’d missed Joseph. The way I needed him was different, but no less intense than the way I craved Marco. They both wanted to cherish me, in their own way. I could see that now. Marco needed my pure devotion, and Joseph needed my willing submission.

Marco’s drawing popped into my mind for the first time in several days. The image of Joseph looming behind me, binding me with rope, made my sex heat and my cheeks flush.

One corner of Joseph’s mouth tugged up in the crooked, knowing smile that made my heart melt.

“What are you thinking about, angel?”

“Marco’s drawing,” I answered honestly. There was no embarrassment anymore. I wasn’t ashamed of my arousal in response to the image. I couldn’t be ashamed of my attraction to Joseph and Marco. “The one of you tying me up,” I clarified. “Is that something…” I swallowed, my throat suddenly dry. “Is that something you want?”

His clear blue eyes regarded me earnestly. “Only if it’s something you want.”

Marco brushed my hair back from my cheek. “Joseph likes his toys,” he told me. “But we won’t do anything that you don’t like.”

I shifted in my seat. “I don’t know if I don’t like it. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.”

“I told you,” Marco said to Joseph.

“Yes, you did.” Joseph took my hand in his, keeping his focus on me. “I thought those drawings scared you. I didn’t want to push you. But yes, that is something I want.”

“It’s something you need,” Marco clarified.

I kept my eyes on Joseph’s. “What do you mean?” I understood Marco’s needs now, but I still didn’t fully grasp why Joseph enjoyed dominating me. I’d seen the dark pleasure in his eyes when he overpowered me. I wanted to understand him, the way I now understood Marco.

Joseph blew out a long breath. “You know I don’t want the life I have,” he said, reiterating a truth he’d revealed long ago. “I didn’t have a choice, Ashlyn. I was born into this world. I have no control over my choices.
