Jason laughed and nodded, slapping Marcos on the shoulder. “Thoughts about drug use or sedation?”

Maya’s mouth fell open in shock before she quickly closed it. “What kind of drugs?”

“Nothing addictive. We’d be careful with what we use, but sleeping pills. Maybe an injected sedative or a Xanax, something to take the edge off,” Marcos answered.

I shrugged my shoulder slowly, shaking my head in disbelief.

“Is that a, no?” Nico asked.

I shook my head again. “No. I’m not saying no. I’m just a little shocked, to be honest. I uh… Yeah, I’m not saying no.”

Marcos laughed darkly. “I’ll take it.”

“We need to discuss safe-words,” Nico said.

“I’ve been reading about those,” I admitted. “I like the idea of the traffic lights. Red to stop, yellow to slow down or I’m feeling nervous. Green for good.”

My men all nodded. “I was going to suggest that, it’s great for beginners,” Jason said. “I’m glad you’re doing your own research too.”

I blushed at his praise, a smile spreading across my face.

“Titles during a scene?” Marcos prompted Jason with a nod of his head.

Jason nodded once, “Yes. During a scene you will refer to us as Sir, unless we tell you otherwise.”

“Yes, sir.” I smirked.

“Cheeky brat.” Nico chuckled.

“How do you feel about name calling during a scene?” Marcos asked. “I know you don’t want anything that reminds you of yourmother, but if I call you my little slut during a scene will that trigger you?”

My mouth dropped open in shock. “Uh…”

Jason laughed. “I think you broke her.”

Nico squeezed my side and I jumped, snapping out of my daze.

“I don’t know. I’m intrigued though.”

“Alright, a maybe, it is.” Marcos laughed.

“Alright, moving on to rules. We have a few simple rules that we want you to abide by in this relationship,” Jason said. He paused until he had my attention on him. “One, most important: Never lie. You don’t lie to us ever. Honesty and communication are the only way a relationship like this works. You don’t lie to us, and we don’t lie to you.”

I nodded my head. “I can agree to that.”

“Good. Because it non-negotiable. Two, you always text the group chat when you’re leaving work. I don’t care if its three in the morning, you text when you’re on your way home.” Jason gave me a stern looking, as if he was waiting for me to answer.

“OK.”

“If you go out drinking without us, youalwayscall one of us for a ride. You don’t ride share anymore, darlin’. One of us will come get you.”

I licked my lips, frowning slightly. “I’m a big girl, I can handle a ride share by myself.”

“Non-negotiable, Maya. You will be punished if you don’t follow these rules,” Marcos said.

I frowned. “What are punishments?”

“We’ll get to that,” Jason replied quickly. “Do you agree? You don’t ride share and you call us?”
