Page 40 of Unwrapping Chase
“Why would I be?”
I had to fight the urge to shrug again. I didn’t want to confront him, and yet at the same time, I did. I needed to prove to myself that Nyx wasn’t Elijah. That he wouldn’t get mad at the same things Elijah did. That this feeling of safety was true, not that I would be with Tam or Nyx much longer.
“Because Tam left you here with me to go have fun,” I finally forced out.
Nyx lifted my face and pressed a gentle kiss to my lips that had some part of me breaking. It was so loving and tender, like he could see all of the cracks in my heart, and he planned to help me heal them.
“I’m not mad at Tam,” he replied, lips brushing mine again in a sensuous kiss. “I love that Tam is having fun and enjoying themself as we speak. It’s nice and comforting that other people see Tam for the amazing person they are and want to spend time with them.”
I nodded.
“Areyoumad Tam left and is having sex with other people?” Nyx asked.
“No,” I said instantly. “I honestly don’t mind. I also love that Tam is having fun.” I shrugged. “More love is just more love. It doesn’t mean that Tam loves you and me any less.” I froze when I realized what I’d said. My heart was like a chunk of ice while mycheeks burned like a raging inferno, I stammered, “Not me. Th-that’s… I don’t mean… I obviously…”
Nyx cut me off with another kiss. This one was long and deep, and it made my toes curl and my heart spark with affection. Groaning, I straddled Nyx’s lap to rut against his stomach, and his hands settled on my ass. His fingers dug into the plump skin and made me groan. The harsh hold, the sting of pain, had my cock firm and leaking. My tongue invaded his mouth, slicking over his. I needed to be closer to him. I wanted Nyx to own me, to be my Daddy forever.
Daddy let me play, my hands and tongue exploring, but when I tried to find one of his cocks among his tentacles, he tightened his hold.
“No, boy,” Nyx growled against my mouth.
I whined, “I want to.”
“And your ass needs to rest, especially if you want Tam to fuck you when they come back.”
“I want you both to fuck me.”
Nyx found my lips again and claimed my mouth in a brutal kiss. “And we will. But you need to let your hole have a break.”
I sighed, shifting off his lap and pressing against his side.
“This movie makes no sense,” he said, and I burst into laughter. Nyx smiled down at me, and my chest burned like the aesthetically pleasing fire in the picturesque fireplace across from us.

What is this?
The hour was late when the door finally cracked open and Tam came in, swaying and grinning. I shook my head at my coupling, though my hearts beat a rapid tattoo at how lovely and carefree they were. I loved it when Tam was happy, and they had clearly had a good time.
“I thought you might spend the night with them,” I commented.
Tam replied, “I would have if we hadn’t recently gotten Chase.”
Had we “gotten” Chase? He wasn’t a permanent addition like Tam was suggesting. Though my coupling had been flooding Chase at every opportunity, and they were keeping him close while also shoving him at me. What exactly was Tam intending?
“You should get in the bath,” I said. “I will join you in a minute after I put Chase in his bed.”
Tam frowned. “Chase can’t sleep down here.”
I raised my eyebrows. It was a rule with us. Our secondary or temporary partners never slept in our bed with us. It was to help preserve the intimacy and privacy of our own separate relationship. Chase wasn’t supposed to join us, though he had for a short nap this afternoon, but that was different—or at the minimum, it had felt different.
“Why not?” I asked.
“He’s hurt. What if he wakes up in pain? What if he needs water? What if he’s sad when he opens his eyes and is alone? What if someone breaks in and steals him?” Tam barked in rapid fire, their hands wringing. “No. He needs to sleep in our bed, where he’ll be safe and no one can steal him from us.”
I stared at my coupling for several long moments before I asked, “What are you doing, Tam?”
“What do you mean?”
