Chapter 6

“That’s fucking bullshit.”

Rory rolled from the bed, every nerve in his body quivering from the combination of physical release and emotional terror stirring in his chest.

The light sting on his ass was forgotten. He looked at the only man he’d ever loved, and that terror wound around his heart with brute force and began to squeeze unmercifully.

My God, we’re not going to win. We’re going to lose him. Rory knew if they lost him again, they’d never get him back.

“It’s not bullshit, it’s the truth. I’m a fraud. A fake.”

Christopher ran his right hand through his hair, anxiety and remorse in every line. Despite being separated for four years, Rory knew him better than he knew any man, even himself.

He’d never seen his lover—his master—looking so defeated.

“No, you’re not a fraud. I’ll tell you who you are. You’re my master, and one of the two men that I love beyond all reason.”

Rory looked over at Daisy. She’d made herself comfortable, her back supported by pillows piled against the headboard, her gloriously naked body completely open to them as she sat, cross-legged, and watched them.

She’d always done this, sat and watched them, as if…as if she felt herself on the outside, looking in.

He looked at Chris to see how Daisy’s quiet, certain declaration affected him, unsurprised when what he saw was sorrow.

“Daisy…you don’t understand, sweetheart.”

Daisy tilted her head. “Then explain it to me, please. You sit there, Rory, you sit there, Christopher,” she pointed to two spots on the bed.

Hell, the thing was certainly big enough to allow them all three to sit crossed-legged and not even touch.

Rory saw the uncertainty in his lover’s eyes, and that in itself worried him. Christopher, uncertain? No, that was Rory’s role, to be unsure, inept, and off center.

Good God, boyo, the man’s human and allowed his own imperfections, isn’t he?

Yes, he was, and maybe Rory had failed him even more profoundly than he’d ever dared realize.

Daisy’s voice pulled him back to the moment.

“You’d better sit your ass down here and talk, Mr. Lyons. I went to a hell of a lot of time and expense, not to mention bone-chilling terror to get us all right here. So you’d best start explaining, because here’s the bottom line. In order to get rid of me, you’re going to have to report me to the police. I’m going to become the most aggressive stalker-chick in history. You’ll have to get a restraining order against me, and I promise you, even that won’t work.”

Rory felt his right eyebrow go up, and he shot a look at Christopher to see how that command went over. Talk about topping from the bottom!

Christopher’s bark of laughter surprised even himself, if the look on his face was anything to go by. Then he looked at Rory. “Did you ever have an inkling she could be this bossy?”

“Can’t say that I did.” Then he tilted his head. If Daisy could give their master a bottom line, then, by damn, so could he. “It doesn’t matter, you know.
