O
I spent every day of that week with Vaughn. Sometimes Clove and Iago joined us. Sometimes the rest of the Princes did as well.
That day was uncharacteristically hot for the time of year, so Vaughn suggested we go to his dadâs property and maybe go for a swim. Iâd done my due diligence and gone in the water to get Clove and Iago in there, then Vaughn and I had snuck out to leave them flirting and calling it play-fighting.
As we lay on the blanket in the dappled sunshine and our bathers, I watched the clouds float over us. âVaughn?â
âMagenta?â
âHow do you feel about whips?â
âIâm scared to ask what brought that question on,â he chuckled.
I turned my head to find him looking at me with a wide smile. âClove thinks I whipped you, and I joked that you probably wished I had.â
His smile widened and that lapis lazuli sparkled at me. I didnât mind so much about being dazzled by it anymore. âLook, baby. If you want to play harder in the bedroom, then I am happy to play harder.â He rolled onto his side. âBut you know itâs not a requirement, right?â
I rolled to mirror him and looked into his eyes. âIâm not sure if thatâs a really backhanded way of saying youâll deal with how boring I am, or if thatâs really sweet.â
He snorted. âYouâre not boring. What about me says I canât get off without whips and ball gags?â
âNo one mentioned ball gags except you, and...â I looked him over pointedly.
He inclined his head. âFine. Your point is made,â he acknowledged. âBut all I need is you, and Iâm at serious risk of getting over-excited and blowing my load too early.â
I smiled. âYou sure?â
He ran his hand over my hip. âYou want to try whips or restraints or fucking furry foreplay, and I will try anything for you. But, just having you, I am happier and more satisfied than I have a right to be.â
âYou deserve to be happy,â I told him.
âAnd how about your ex?â
Clove snorted as she and Iago dropped down beside us. âYou know, they were never official?â
I sat up and glared at her betrayal as Iago spluttered.
Vaughn sat up behind me and said, âOh, really?â
Clove nodded at him over me. âReally. She was just using him to tell herself she could resist you.â
âClove!â I hissed, like neither Vaughn nor Iago would notice my reaction.
âPushing all your buttons was just a bonus,â Clove added happily, and I groaned in annoyance.
Vaughnâs arms tightened around me as he dropped his lips to the back of my neck. âIs this true, darling? You lied to me?â
âSeemed like a good idea at the time,â I muttered.
He spun me around to face him and was looking at me with such a genuine smile that it took my breath away. âYou wanted me so badly you had to fake yourself a boyfriend, love?â
I bit my lip as I looked him over. âI wanted you so badly that Iâve all-but thrown away a whole damned life â my so-called perfect future â just to be with you.
