Page 56 of Belonging to Them

My heart thuds faster at the memory of how quickly everything happened.The guards leaping toward me, the deafening bang of light and sound, the hard asphalt beneath my knees and arm.

“Ella, sweetheart.”Kingston’s hand cups my cheek.“Where’d you go just now?”

I shake off the scary thoughts.“Just remembering what happened, that’s all.I’m fine.”

“Okay,” he says.“Tell us what you need, and you get it.Anything.”

Waggling my eyebrows at him, I say, “Even cock?”

“If you want our cocks, all you have to do is ask,” he says.

“And sometimes beg,” Sebastian adds.“If we’re feeling mean.”

“Which is always,” I say, laughing.But then I wince, because that pressure in my head is no joke.

“Headache?”Kingston asks.

“I promise, it isn’t bad,” I say.“I should maybe rest instead of doing sexy times with you two, though…as tempting as sexy times is.”

“Naptime, little girl,” Kingston says, shepherding me toward the bedroom.

I dig in my heels.“I’m not tired.”

“Let us take care of you,” Sebastian says.“If you’re not tired, can we at least cuddle?”

Well, it’s hard to say no to cuddling.“And just sit there, doing nothing?”

“You’re always reading,” Kingston says.“Maybe we could take turns reading to you.”

I imagine them reading the booksIlike to read, and a blush immediately heats my face.

Lips lifting up at the corner in a half-smile, Kingston says, “What’s the blush for, little one?”

“Nothing,” I say quickly.“I have to go to the bathroom, be right back.”

Sebastian laughs.“Be honest—do you really have to go?”

“No,” I say, sighing.“I just…maybe one of you can pick out a book?”

“Sure, from your digital library,” Kingston says.“You’re always reading on your phone.Hand it over, and I’ll find something for you.”

“Never mind, I’ll pick something,” I say.

“Too late.We want to pick,” Sebastian says, his hazel eyes twinkling.“I want to see what has you blushing so hard.”

I hold a hand up to my cheek.“It’s…it’s personal.”

“You have a safe word,” Kingston says.“Unless you’re going to use it, you’d better hand over your phone, young lady.”

Ooh, so stern.If my head weren’t still hurting, he’d have me dropping to my knees in front of him right now.

I give him my phone.

“Unlock it,” Sebastian says.

Muttering a curse under my breath, I type in the passcode.

“What was that?”Kingston asks.“Did you say something?”
