Page 47 of Unwrapping Chase

“That’s why you agreed,” Nyx said, his arms impossibly tight around me while his tentacles joined Tam’s around my thighs and waist. “To fuck us. You needed the money.”

“Yeah,” I confessed, blushing. “Partly. I really need the money, but I alsoreallywanted to fuck you both.”

Tam pressed a kiss to my lips, and I groaned at the taste of them. Their fingers stroked my cheeks. “You’re safe with us. I promise, pet. Neither of us would ever harm you or let someone hurt you.”

“I know,” I warbled. “You both make me feel so safe.”

Nyx turned my head so he could kiss me too, and I returned it, opening my mouth for him to swirl his tongue around mine. He pulled back, breath harsh, and demanded, “Show me the debt.”

“No,” I said. That was completely unnecessary. “I will pay it off after everything. It’s fine. I swear.”

His fingers tightened on my chin, not allowing me to look away, but I heard Tam slide off the bed, their tentacles slipping away from me and taking their solid warmth. Nyx said, “You will show me, Chase, and I will pay it.”

“Nyx,” I whispered, tears sliding down my cheeks. “I didn’t tell you so you would pay for it. I can pay it… after.” I truly hoped he wouldn’t make me think about after. I never wanted there to be an after with the two of them.

“I know that you didn’t try to trick me, baby. I’m paying it because you’re mine and Tam’s. We have no desire to leave you in danger. The money I pay you will set you up nicely if you ever feel the need to part from us.”

My heart thumped, and my eyes widened. Did that mean what I thought that meant? Did they possibly, maybe, just maybe, want to keep me? I hoped to all the gods in the universe that it was true. I was desperate to be kept by them, to stay with them.

Tam pushed something into my hands, and Nyx finally allowed me to turn. The normally bubbly Tam had a serious expression, and their arms were crossed.

“We are going to pay this,” Tam said in a firm voice, “and then you are going to tell me this bastard's name so I can kill him.”

I yanked Tam closer and pressed a firm kiss to their mouth. They yielded to me, allowing me to take control of the kiss. I nipped their bottom lip, making Tam whimper, then I fucked their mouth with my tongue. Every sound they made, every touch, comforted me with their warmth.

“I don’t need that,” I whispered.

“I do,” Tam replied. “It’s my and Nyx’s job to take care of you, pet. You’re our delicate human.”

I hugged Tam tight and begged, “Please don’t kill him. I need you. I don’t want you to be taken from me because you killed that asshole who wasn’t worth any of our attention.”

“Fine,” Tam said with a long sigh. “But you’ll still tell us, so we can make his life a living hells. I will make him regret ever being born by throwing him in the darkest prison imaginable.”

“That is fair, boy,” Nyx said, dragging a hand over the back of my head. “We will make it so he can never harm you or anyone else.”

More tears threatened to spill. Never had I been so loved or taken care of, and I didn’t understand why they did it.

“Okay, Daddy, Tam. I’ll tell you.”

Nyx kissed the back of my head. “After. Let me take care of you first.”

“Thank you,” I sobbed, head bowed. Nyx and Tam both took turns kissing me and wiping the tears away until I calmed and simply lay in both of their arms. I whispered, “Please don’t let me go.”

“We won’t,” Tam said.

“Never,” Nyx said right after them. “You belong to us.”

With a few transfers, Nyx and Tam took care of all my debt, and just like that, I was free. Elijah was out of my life. He would never darken my doorstep again. The debt he ruined me with had simply vanished. It seemed… unbelievable. I didn’t know how it was possible, but it was. A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders, and I felt yet another tear slide down my cheek.

“Oh, pet,” Tam whispered, wiping it away.

“I don’t know why I’m crying.” I was relieved. I was ecstatic. I was in the best financial position I’d ever been in, and now I was… sobbing.

Nyx lay down with me, wrapped in his arms, and Tam squished against my other side, both of them surrounding me in their warmth. I was safe and whole.

Nipping and kissing my neck, Nyx whispered, “You are ours, boy.”

Tam continued, “And we will never let you go.”
