Page 39 of Unwrapping Chase

“What’s wrong?” Tam asked, crawling almost on top of Chase and me. I grabbed my coupling to keep them from falling off the couch.

“I don’t want to.” His voice was barely audible. “But you paid for me.”

I yanked his head back by his hair, pulling him tight enough to make him groan and have his cock twitching. “You’re allowed to say no, boy. I told you that.”

Tears filled his eyes, though they didn’t spill down his cheeks, and I flinched. Chase was soft in form and emotion, and I didn’t want to injure him. I pulled him closer, and he trembled.

“You paid for me, and I feel bad,” Chase whispered. “I should do everything you want.”

Tam wrapped around Chase, kissing his neck and shoulders. “No, pet, you can always say no. Always. I’m not mad, and neither is Nyx. You never have to force yourself to do something that you don’t want to.”

“Okay,” Chase said in a quiet voice that spoke of his disbelief.

“What do you want?” Tam asked.

“I want to stay home with Daddy tonight.”

Something shattered in my hearts. I kissed him soundly. “Then stay.”

Tam kissed Chase next. “Sounds good to me. I will fuck you when I get home.”

Chase smiled. “I would like that.”

“Good.” Tam gave me a feral kiss, and I groaned, sliding my tongue into their mouth. Tam was so familiar. Every aspect of them was known, no mystery, but I loved them all the same. I loved how I knew exactly what to do and how they felt against me.

“I love you,” I told Tam, who grinned.

“I love you too, Nyx.” Tam gave us both a smile and raced out of the house.

I settled Chase more firmly on my lap and cuddled him close. “Let’s finish this ridiculous movie.”

“Okay,” he replied, pressing into me.

I wasn’t paying attention to the movie. I, of course, hadn’t been when Tam was still here either; I’d been too consumed with playing with them. Nyx was watching the movie with a scowl, and I didn’t know if it was because he didn’t like it or if he was upset. I snuggled closer to his side, and Nyx wrapped an arm around me, snagging me even tighter against his frame whilehe absentmindedly rubbed my arm, and one of his tentacles uncurled, then curled around my leg.

His embrace was so sure, so comforting. I’d never experienced anything like it. My last relationship had never been like this. Elijah had been controlling and had liked me to call him “Daddy” too, but at the heart of it, he’d been an abusive asshole that had hurt me physically, emotionally, and financially under the guise of love and discipline.

Nyx and Tam were nothing like that. They constantly comforted me and provided the aftercare I needed. Both of them checked in with me to make sure that I was actually into whatever we were doing. They both cared about me as a person, and they didn’t even know me that well, though I’d told them things I hadn’t told another living soul.

Today had been healthier and more comforting than I’d experienced in my entire relationship with Elijah. That fact was both elating and terrifying.

What was I going to do when they left?

I had no idea. I’d gone and done the thing that I had promised not to do in record time. I’d caught feelings. Nyx and Tam had crashed their way into my fragile heart, and I was rather terrified that when they left, they would take pieces of me that could never be recovered.

My eyes flicked back to Daddy’s face once more, and he was still frowning. I tucked against the crook of his neck, and another one of Nyx’s tentacles curled up my leg, joining the first. Another thing to love about lollikrakes—Nyx and Tam could hold me in so many ways. However, even though Daddy was cuddling me, his expression remained annoyed.

I asked, “Are you mad?”

“Why would you ask that, boy?”

I shrugged.

A sharp slap to my thigh made me groan. My cock perked up. The hit hadn’t hurt, but it had been a reminder to use my words and not hide. I kissed his soft sweater in a silent apology, and Nyx smoothed a hand over the back of my head. The movement made me want to cry. He did the same thing to Tam. It was almost as if he loved me too.

“Tell me what’s going on,” he demanded.

“You seem mad, and I wanted to make sure you weren’t annoyed with Tam.”
