She wanted them today, not later. A lot was happening very quickly, but she understood clearly that she might not have a week or two with them. She only hoped her body would cooperate with her wishes.

How did one convince their sphincter to open up and get with the program? “I’ll try.”

Because Kinley wanted more than the sex. She wanted the connection with all of them. She wanted to know what it meant to be the center of Dominic, Law, and Riley’s universe. She wanted to be the sun in their sky—even if just for a while.

Her backside pulsed with tingling anticipation. Every single one of those forty smacks had impacted her, showing her exactly what she needed, revealing the part of her she’d denied for twenty-five years.

This was the truest Kinley she’d ever known, the most comfortable she’d ever been in her own skin. Heavens, she never wanted this exultant feeling to end.

She relaxed, giving them her trust, allowing them the control. Oddly, Kinley felt not only a freedom, but a certain power in giving herself over. She had only to tell them that she didn’t like something and they would stop. That made relaxing and allowing things to happen so very easy.

Because she trusted them.

It occurred to her that she’d never really trusted anyone this deeply. Not boyfriends or family. Not even Annabelle. She’d never just allowed herself to relax and wait for whatever came because she knew it would be pleasurable.

Now, she could.

Collectively, they stroked her, both soothing and arousing her as they explained what would happen.

“We’ll start with the small plug,” Law suggested.

Dominic grunted. “No, the medium one. She can handle it.”

“Just use your fingers,” Riley added to the argument.

Strong fingers pulled her cheeks apart, cool air hitting her opening. She’d never been touched like this. Never been parted and inspected.

“Look at that.” Law whistled.

“Fucking gorgeous.” Dominic sounded like he really meant it.

Riley sighed happily. “She’s going to be so damn tight.”

For long minutes, they fondled her, told her how gorgeous she was and how much they couldn’t wait to sink their cocks into this one untried hole she’d never imagined a man using, except in her wildest dreams. Maybe it should have been odd or off-putting, but she just felt utterly wanted, as if they couldn’t wait to feel every part of her. The thought made her shiver.

Their hands roamed every inch of her skin until she couldn’t tell who was touching her where. Kinley only knew that they all had a hand on her. The experience felt both intimate and thrilling. Her men. Touching her. All at the same time.

How many women had to choose the sort of lover they wanted? How many had to give up pieces of their heart that completed them in order to receive affection?

Gruff Law could be so gentle. He understood her wholly, gave her affection without asking for anything in return. Perversely, it made her want to give him every bit of herself. She also found comfort in knowing he would protect her without question or fail.

Dominic, whom she would always call Dom Dom in her head, challenged her. He held her hand as he stripped away the veneer of the girl she used to know and showed her the woman beneath, all the while giving himself fully in return. He offered her trust and honesty.

And Riley…he had been so scarred emotionally. But once she’d reached him, he’d simply asked her to give him a chance. He was so smart, so capable, so interesting…but less sure. She could see herself learning from him each and every day. She could see them growing together.

She was taking a chance with them now, and the terrified part of her that had been betrayed before knew it. That part shouted at her to walk away. Kinley silenced the insidious voice. After a lifetime spent avoiding risk, she was now throwing herself in their path, at their mercy. She didn’t want to go through life suspicious or cynical. Of course she could get hurt again. But her past proved that life without risk was also a life without rewards.

A finger slipped between her cheeks, and something cold coated that intimate, previously untouched entry, jolting her from her ruminations. She shivered at the chilly, foreign sensations.

“It’s lubricant, Kinley,” Riley explained. “It’s going to help with insertion.”

Of the plug. Right.

Then once her body was ready, they would insert themselves in her ass. She couldn’t imagine how that would feel—or how she would feel about opening herself up this way.

Sex was intimate, yes. But it was also sometimes awkward and sweet, often blisteringly hot…and yet oddly pure.

A weird, jangly feeling took over as something warm made its way through the lubrication and began to penetrate her.

“That’s my finger, pet,” Dominic said as he circled her, pressing in a bit more. “Relax. I know that’s difficult. Just think about breathing out and letting me in.”

She drew in a long breath and released it, then felt Dominic’s finger sink deeper. It didn’t hurt at all. It was different. She felt pleasantly filled. Most of all, the nerves he awakened there with just a touch aroused her. Kinley let herself go completely limp and trusting in his arms.

“That’s right.” Law was kneeling at her side, his big hand stroking her back. “So pretty, baby. Your trust is gorgeous. Let us take care of you.”

They had been taking very good care of her. She’d never had anyone care so much about her feelings and experience as these three men. They made sure she had what she needed, from clothes to food to affection, then they gave her more. Understanding, safety, concern, guidance. They thought of her first.

Relationships should be like this, Kinley realized. Her mother had been so in love with her charming father. He’d been good at making her mother love him, but he hadn’t shared his heart in return. She saw now that her father had simply taken everything her mother had, as if she owed him, and never given anything back in return. Becks was like that. Her husband loved her, and she cheated on Brian as if he didn’t matter.

But what Kinley shared with Law, Dominic, and Riley—this was the way it should be. They put her first. For as long as it lasted, she would do the same with them.

Dominic submerged his finger completely inside her, and Kinley clenched around him.

That earned her a smack that made the already tender skin of her ass tingle. “Don’t try to push me out.”

“Let him have his way, baby,” Law advised.

“You’ll be so full, sweetheart,” Riley vowed. “You’ll enjoy it.”

A second finger joined the first, stretching even wider little by little. She hissed at the slight burn, but then let loose another breath, relaxing her muscles. Dominic’s second finger penetrated her completely.

“You’re tight, pet, but I think we’ll fit just fine.” A wealth of satisfaction resounded in Dominic’s voice.

Anticipation filled her.

Gently, he pulled his fingers free, and Kinley felt the loss—but not for long. Almost instantly, something harder filled the empty space. “This is a training plug. While we play a bit more, I’m going to leave this inside you to stretch you for us. Don’t lose this plug or we will have to start all over again and I’ll do so with another spanking.”

She’d loved the forty slaps they’d given her, the primal heat that it churned inside her, but was more than ready to move the experience along.

She dragged a breath in as the plug began to breach her. “Are you sure that’s only the starter size? Because it feels really big.”

Pressure, insistent and unrelenting, jammed her as the plug scraped her nerve endings. Kinley forced herself not to clench, but to simply let Dominic press the plug in farther. Finally, it popped past a tight band of muscle inside her and slid in all the way. Kinley felt no pain, just a fullness that made her gasp and writhe with a shocking curl of want. That plug filling her made her ache and perspire and need. A little thrill of pride lit her up, too. She’d taken everything they’d given her so far. Now she couldn’t wait to give back.

“I assure you, it’s smaller than me,” Dominic said as he worked the plug in and out, simulating the way they would take her ass for their own.

“Good, sweetheart. Now hold that plug in, Kinley,” Riley said as he helped her to her feet.

She clenched and had to concentrate on not letting the bit of silicone slip free.

Dominic stared down at her, obviously already in that mental place he found when he spanked and commanded her. It made him stand taller, made his voice deepen. It was so sexy, she could hardly stand it. “I’ll be back after I clean up. I think it’s time to torture our little submissive a bit. Law, Riley, you can handle that, right?”

“Absolutely.” Law had taken off his clothes when she wasn’t looking. His cock thrust out, reaching up nearly to his navel.

Riley just smiled in a way she didn’t find comforting, but it was sexy as hell.

Once Dominic had left her alone with Law and Riley, they circled her like two predators sizing up particularly juicy prey.

“You did so well, baby.” Law’s stare roved hot all over her body. “Your ass looks beautiful all pink and hot, and you’re getting ready for us.”

Kinley was aware of her body like never before—the rushing of her blood, the goose bumps breaking out across her skin, her shortness of breath, the fullness deep inside her, and the tingles dive-bombing her from every direction. She’d never felt more awake or vibrantly alive.

Riley shrugged out of his shirt and stepped close to her, caressing his way down her body and making her nipples tighten. “Clench your cheeks together, sweetheart.”

She did as he asked, and he dropped to his knees.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I want.” Riley nuzzled his face to her belly. “You see, when you clench like that, it makes this little jewel stand out. I really like to play with this.”

He barely touched her clitoris, which was pulsing now. A shiver wound through her. She wasn’t completely sure what he was planning next, and Kinley found a deep excitement in not knowing. In being at his mercy. She didn’t know if he would give her the bliss of pleasure or a sweet bite of pain—or both.

Riley dragged a finger through her labia then slid it back up, rounding her clitoris but not quite touching it. Taunting her.

Then Law was at her back, moving her hair aside and placing little kisses on her nape that made her shiver. His hands brushed around her torso and molded to her breasts, lifting them as he pinched her nipples. Kinley gasped as her whole body clenched.

Riley finally slid the pad of his thumb over her clitoris, just as Law pressed down on her nipples. Their timing was perfectly in sync. Pleasure mingled with a bite of pain, bringing her nerves into a crazy harmony she couldn’t understand or deny.

“We like this game, baby,” Law whispered in her ear. “We like to figure out exactly what trips your trigger then parse it out slowly.”

“But only when you’re good,” Riley added. “Only when you beg sweetly.”

“Exactly,” Law agreed, laving his way up her neck, bestowing on her a warm, fuzzy sensation that made her shiver and writhe. She adored it.

Riley’s nose was suddenly buried in her labia, his head moving back and forth. And then Law nipped her, just a little bite as Riley’s tongue bathed her pussy in pleasure.

Pain and pleasure, each one complementing the other.

“I brought something fun.” Dominic returned carrying a small silver bucket in his hands. There was a bottle of champagne chilling there, but he ignored it. His fingers slid into the bucket and came back with a small cube of ice. “Allow me.”

As he slid the ice down her spine, she shivered again, the chill of the cube blending with the heat of their flesh to make something new and intoxicating.

“This is sensation play, pet. It’s meant to arouse you, to engage you.” Dominic trailed the ice around her body and slipped it over her nipple. She sucked in a breath against the freeze, but then Law bent to take that same nipple into his mouth, heating her up again. Dominic played with the second nipple before they exchanged positions, chilling and heating her over and over. She gripped their shoulders as her knees seemed to melt underneath her.

Riley pulled away from bathing her clit with his tongue while Dominic selected another cube and touched it to that very spot. Kinley groaned and dug her nails into them.

“Our ice won’t last long.” Dominic chuckled.

“No. She’ll melt it very quickly. And I’ll help her. God, I love the way she tastes.” Riley buried his head between her legs again as if he couldn’t stay away.

As Dominic’s ice trailed all over her skin, settling on her nipples again, Law pulled on them, sucking and defrosting them and making them ache all at once. Kinley’s senses felt so overloaded, her blood sizzling with need, that she thought she might scream.

Riley pulled her clitoris into his mouth again and began to suckle, the tip of his tongue raking her bud just where she needed it most. Just as her clit swelled and need began to coalesce between her legs, he pulled back. Dominic slid the ice over her sensitive pearl again. Her head reeled with sensation.
