NINETEEN

JAKE

I paced the wooden floorboards of my room. The air had grown thick with worry. Sarah sat on the edge of my bed, drawing nervous circles on the luxurious cream covers with a finger.

I’d told her I wanted to talk to her after dinner, but so far I’d failed to find the right words. I swallowed hard, trying to erase my dry mouth.

But there was no way I could back out. I needed to please Drew. Needed him to be happy with me.

‘I need to tell you something,’ I said. I had to force the words past the solid lump in my throat.

She blinked up at me, her brows furrowing with concern.

‘What is it? You’re scaring me.’

I raked a hand through my hair. ‘I’ve been getting lessons from Drew.’

‘What lessons?’ Her fingers stilled, and I ceased my pacing, my stomach doing flip-flops. Now or never .

‘In how to dominate you.’

She blinked, her eyes narrowing. ‘You’ve been letting Drew meddle with us?’

‘To help us .’

Her lips parted. Her sharp inhale was audible.

‘You did it for us? You know I didn’t like him?’

‘Didn’t?’ I questioned, something in her voice snagging my attention. The past tense of the word made me freeze.

‘Don’t,’ she corrected, shifting on the bed.

‘I love you,’ I said, kneeling in front of her, my chest tightening. ‘All I wanted was to make you happy. To give you everything you deserve.’

‘Do you really think it could work?’ She gathered my hands in hers.

‘He has already helped. And everything I’ve done so far… it was still me. Not him.’

Her voice wavered. ‘So what now? He keeps feeding you lines, and then you come back and parrot it like an experiment?’

I shook my head.

‘No. He says it’s time for the next step. Drew wants us to do it together. In person . He wants m e to see what I’m missing. How to do it properly.’

She choked on her response. Panic filled me as I waited for her to respond.

She didn’t.

‘He asked me to bring you to the library. Tonight. To strip you naked and have you crawl in on your knees and submit. To show me what it is you crave. To help me be the man you need.’

‘What if he fucks me, Jake?’ Her voice cracked. ‘What then? Will you be able to look at me the same way ever again?’

I cupped her face and swallowed hard. ‘What if he fucked me ? Would you look at me the same?’

Silence lingered as we faced each other. Both lost between claiming something we need, and the wrongness of it all.

‘I don’t know,’ she whispered.

‘Sarah,’ I said, a tremor stealing through my words. ‘Things were already falling apart. You felt it. We both did.’

‘I know.’ Her gaze dipped to her lap.

‘What if this insane, fucked-up idea saves us? What if it’s exactly what we need?’

Sarah’s hands trembled.

‘You’d let me be on my knees for him? For both of you?’

My stomach twisted at her words. At the reality of my girl with another man. With my stepbrother.

‘It’s not about giving you away. It’s about us learning together. About me becoming the man you need. If it brings you pleasure along the way? I can deal with that.’

She exhaled slowly. ‘And you think Drew can make that happen?’

I nodded. ‘I know he can. Trust me. Just this once.’

‘Okay. But only because it’s you asking. I don’t trust him in the slightest.’

T he library smelled of old leather and lemon polish. Shadows danced over the walls from the litany of candles Drew had lit.

Sarah knelt between us.

Naked.

Quivering .

She rested her hands on her thighs. Right where Drew had instructed her to place them.

She looked beautiful. Graceful. And him standing there with her? It tore me apart.

Sarah was mine. My girlfriend. My love. It pained me to see Drew’s eyes devour her. A primal urge to rip her away from him scalded me.

Beneath it, another urge burned hotter. Darker and harder to admit. I wanted to be at her side. On my knees. With Drew’s eyes on me.

‘Good girl,’ Drew growled while circling her like a predator. His hand brushed over her jaw, and the way she melted into his touch burned. ‘This is how Jake learns. Watching you submit. Watching me use you like the slut you ache to be.’

Sarah’s cheeks flushed scarlet.

‘Yes,’ she whispered.

My fists clenched, nails digging into my palms.

Drew smirked at me, as if he saw every secret thought written clearly all over my face.

‘Don’t worry, Jake. She’s going to show you what she needs.’

He crouched, using a finger to tip Sarah’s chin up. ‘Open your mouth.’

Her lips parted without hesitation. Just as mine had whenever he ordered me to.

My cock throbbed. I could hardly breathe with the weight of the tension in the room.

Drew slid his thumb between her parted lips, pressing down on her tongue. His eyes darkened as he revelled in her sweetness.

‘Good. That’s how it starts. Yielding. Obeying.’

‘Tell her, Jake. Tell her how well she’s behaving, for both of us. Especially with all the terrible, filthy things she’s going to have done by the time the sun rises.’

I bit the inside of my cheek so hard I tasted blood. It took everything not to throw myself at Drew’s feet and beg for the same.

Not in front of her. Not where she could see how weak I was.

I moved closer, pressing a hand into her hair and breathing her in as I closed the space between my mouth and her ear. ‘You’re perfect, my love. We can do this.’

Drew thrust his finger into her throat with a sudden jerk of his hand. I expected her to move back. To cuss him out. But she didn’t. She practically mewed at him.

As I watched her submit, I knew he was right. That she needed this. That I burned for the same treatment nearly undid me.

And when Drew’s eyes met mine again, they were dark and knowing.

‘Tonight, Jake, you’ll learn what it means to own her.’
