A low whistle breaks the silence. “Well, that was fucking hot as hell,” Lex says, his voice full of that wicked cocky humor that only he could pull off after a night like this.

Bella leans her head back against the tile, still catching her breath. I glance down at her and she meets my eyes, lips twitching into a small, exhausted smile.

We both look toward Lex and just shake our heads. He’s already opening the shower door, naked and shameless. His hand wrapped firmly around his cock stroking himself for the world to see.

“You gonna stand there stroking it or get in here and do something with it, babe?” I ask, voice low and lazy.

He steps in like a predator, ice-blue eyes locked on Bella before crashing his mouth to hers with a hunger that makes my breath hitch all over again. God, I’ll never get used to this, to them.Watching them. Loving them.

Lex lifts her up, pins her to the tile, and drives into her with one brutal thrust that has her crying out into his mouth.

I wrap my hand around myself, because there’s nothing more beautiful than watching Bella unravel, especially at Lex’s hands. The way she clings to him. The way he holds her like a sinner clutching salvation.

“God you guys,” I moan, stroking myself, eyes never leaving them. “A masterpiece the two of you, I could watch this all day.”

Water rushes over them, cascading like it’s trying to wash away the madness we just survived. But it can’t. Nothing can. This right here, this is how we heal. Together. With our mouths, hands, and hearts intertwined as one.

Lex lets out a deep groan as he finishes, burying his face in Bella’s neck as her fingers claw into his back. He lowers her slowly, carefully, like she’s the most precious thing on earth. She almost slips but Lex steadies her, then glances at me.

Before I can speak, he pulls me in, grabbing the back of my neck and pressing his mouth to mine. I melt into it.

Bella’s soft voice cuts through the steam.

“Lex…” She bites her lip, all wicked and sweet. “Turn him around. Hold him still for me.” Lex grins, already gripping me. And I swear to God, I don’t know what I did in a past life to deserve this kind of love but I’m never letting it go.

Lex’s hands tighten around my arms, turning me toward Bella as my back hits his chest. I feel his breath ghost against my neck—hot, hungry, dangerous.

“Hold still, Cade” she purrs, sinking to her knees in front of me.

My heart is already pounding. She looks up at me. Her eyes, dark with mischief and fire, locking with mine as she licks her lips. She doesn’t blink, just slowly takes me into her mouth.

It’s not just the heat or the pressure or the way her tongue swirls around the head of my cock, it’s the look. That unbrokenstare. Like she’s branding me from the inside out. Like she’s sayingthis is minewithout ever having to utter a single syllable.

Lex’s lips find my neck just as she sucks me in deeper. His kiss open-mouthed, teeth grazing just enough to make me groan. My fingers twitch at my sides. I want to grab her hair, want to bury myself deeper, but I can’t move. Not when Lex is holding me like this. Not when Bella’s mouth is full of me.

She hums around me and I swear the tiles behind her spin. Lex growls softly against my skin and the vibrations run straight through me. This isn’t just sex. This is worship. It’s war. It’s art in its rawest form, crafted with teeth and tongue and a crown of steam.

Bella pulls back slowly, lips wrapped tight, tongue flicking just beneath the head. Then she goes down again, deeper. And deeper. Until her nose brushes my skin.

“Fuuuuck, Bella,” I rasp, barely breathing.

Lex’s voice is low in my ear. “Our baby’s so damn good at this, isn’t she Cade?”

I nod, jaw tight, moaning as she bobs her head with ruthless grace. Like she’s the one in control. Like she knows she could ruin me right here in front of the man who already owns half my soul.

I feel Lex hardening behind me, his cock pressed thick and full against the curve of my ass. He’s still holding my arms, still watching Bella take me apart with her mouth, and now he’s ready to wreck me too.

“Seriously, babe,” I pant, breathless, not even pretending to hide the grin in my voice. “How the fuck do you get so hard this fast?”

Lex chuckles low, biting at my shoulder. “That’s what you two do to me. You want me calm then you better stop being so fucking beautiful.”

His hand slides between us, slick fingers spreading me open with a practiced ease that makes my spine arch.

Bella pulls back for half a breath, eyes still locked on mine as her hand replaces her mouth. She strokes me slow, teasing.

“You ready for him, sweetheart?” she asks, all sweet and sinful.

I nod.
