It’s seven o’clock when we wrap up for the night. Mia helps me close up and waits for me to leave with her. Chase comes over and kisses the top of my head.

“Feel better, babe.” He heads out. Hawk waited for me after auditions to make sure I got out to my car all right, but not Chase. How did I not notice he was a huge dick?

Tonight was his night off from football practice, but he won’t be able to do this every night. Some nights, rehearsal won’t start until after sport practices. I don’t know how long the cough thing will hold him off from kissing me in front of Hawk.

And what will that mean for Damon’s punishment?

“If you want to skip tonight...” Mia hesitates. “You do look a little peaked.”

I blow out a breath and turn to Mia with a smile. Even though I’ve been avoiding this discussion, I really want to keep her as a friend. “I’m good. I want to go grab coffee with you. You drove?”

“Yeah.” She smiles.

“Okay, how about we meet at the coffee shop? Nickle’s Black Coffee is open late.”

She arches an eyebrow. “Nickle’s Black? That’s the name?”

“Yes, like the band, but not.” I shrug. “They have good coffee and they’re open late.”

She chuckles. “All right. Let’s do it.”

We walk out and her car is parked much closer than mine.

“Mine’s out there.” I gesture to the only car remaining in the far parking spaces.

I could have moved it closer after school, but I couldn’t risk Chase asking me about it if he decided to walk me out.

I should have guessed he wouldn’t. Especially since we wouldn’t be able to make out with this pretend cold. “I’ll meet you there.”

“You sure you don’t want a ride to your car?” She opens her car door and smirks as she meets my gaze over the roof.

“It’s my exercise for the day.” I wave her off.

She gets in her car and starts it, but I don’t hear her drive off. I continue walking over to the BMW and climb in. There’s a note on the steering wheel.

Be good, little devil.

My cheeks burn. I shake my head and start the car. As soon as I pull out, so does Mia. I lead her over to the coffee shop, which is filled with Nickelback memorabilia.

When I get out, Mia parks next to me and steps out. When she sees the inside, she laughs.

“It’s the only late-night coffee shop.” I hold my hands up in defense.

She laughs. “At least they lean into it.”

We go to the counter and order our coffees and some pastries before sitting at a booth in the corner. We chitchat about homework a little while we wait for our orders, but once we’re settled in, Mia leans forward with a smile like the cat that ate the canary.

“So. The party.”

I swallow my coffee and put it to the side. I’m an actress. I can pretend I’ve never heard the way she moans when she comes. Or seen her naked breasts and ass while she fucked two guys.

“Yeah, sorry I ditched you early at the party. I wasn’t feeling well.” To be honest, I wasn’t feeling well. Finding out Chase was fucking other girls made me nauseous.

“I fucked Liam and Fletcher.”

“Yeah?” I ask, as if I want more details. And not because I have the image of them burned in my head as Damon made me come on his hand.

Mia grins. “Seriously, it was amazing. I’ve fucked two guys at the same time before, but these two were awesome at it for their first threesome.”

“Oh?” I take a sip of my coffee, hoping the steam will account for my flushed cheeks. She’s telling me sex stories which should make me blush, right?

“I had to convince them to give it a go, but once they were in? They were in, if you know what I mean.” Mia wiggles her eyebrows.

Unfortunately, I do. At least visually. “So, are you going to see them again?”

She runs her finger around the rim of her coffee mug. “Yes, but today was a total game changer.”

My brow furrows. “How so?”

“Hawk seemed extra flirty, and Cam...” She makes a humming noise. “He seems down to play. I don’t know about Damon though. I heard someone call them the Devil’s trio.”

“Mm-hmm.” I’m trying to keep my cool and not tell her to back off. How could I? I’m technically dating Chase while I’m sleeping and messing around with the others.

“Can you imagine, Evan?” Her eyes are bright as they meet mine. “The three of them together. My god, I would love to be the middle of that clusterfuck.”

I clear my throat and look at my coffee.

I don’t need to imagine. There are so many ways they can take me.

But I need to get Mia to back off, somehow.

Because they agreed to never fuck her. I don’t want her to get her hopes up only to be let down.

“I’ve never heard of them doing that with a girl before. ”

Not before me. Who knows if this is something they do regularly, and no one is ever the wiser? I don’t know how the girl would keep quiet about it. Unless they always choose someone like me. Something tightens and twists in my gut at that thought.

“I bet I can get them to do it.” Mia flicks her blond hair over her shoulder and winks to the cute guy behind the counter. “Guys can be experimental at this age. Especially with a willing girl.”

“Maybe.” My face is almost as hot as my coffee. I can’t share what I did with the three of them with Mia. Maybe they’d be more than willing to accept her proposal if I hadn’t made not fucking her part of our deal. If I told them what she wanted from them, would they want her more than me?

My insides shrivel a little. They say they want me, but they don’t really know me.

“Oh, definitely.” Mia’s gaze gets that far-off look. “Riding with them today was amazing. All that power and danger.” Her gaze cuts to mine with a knowing smile. “I think Damon likes you.”

“What? No. I’m dating Chase.” My heart ricochets in my chest. Is it obvious we’ve been together? That I’ve spent nights in his bed?

“There’s something. He went out of his way to feed you. Guys don’t do that. At least, not without getting something in return.” She leans forward and wiggles her eyebrows. “Are you secretly sucking Damon’s cock?”

“Mia!” I glance around to see if anyone we know is nearby. Fuck, is it written all over my face? Maybe I could tell her he’s going to potentially be my new stepbrother, and that’s why he’s being nice. That opens a whole new line of questioning I’m not prepared for, even if it would explain a lot.

Chase is using me. I don’t want my new friend to use me too.

“Yes, you’re dating Chase. But if I were dating someone and Damon Storm wanted me on my knees, I’d say yes please.” Mia winks. “It’s not like anyone needs to know.”

“I’m not that kind of girl.” I would never have cheated on my boyfriend. Maybe something in me always knew Chase was cheating on me, but I felt horrible about those kisses. It never would have gone past kissing, and I would have told him about them, because they were eating me up inside.

I’m only in a relationship with him now for revenge. For the Devil’s trio, I’ll be what they want and I’ll get the experience I desire without developing an attachment to any of them. I’ll be loyal to them.

“All of us are that girl under the right circumstances.” Mia leans forward and gives me a grin. “You can’t tell me you haven’t thought about any of those three in a sexual way. They exude sex.”

I drop my gaze. Dirty dreams don’t count. And she doesn’t know I’ve been with the three of them in a sexual way.

She laughs. “The curse of the teenage girl. To be horny and not allowed to be slutty.” She shakes her head. “If he offers, you should do it. I would, in your place.”

“I have a?—”

“Yeah, yeah, you have Chase.” She waves it off like it isn’t a big deal.

“I’m sure he loves your mouth as much as he can, but there’s something thrilling about being with someone like Damon.

They remind me of the kings of our school.

” She slides her finger through the whipped cream on her coffee and sucks it off.

“I’ve sucked their cocks. Luke, Caden, Jack, and Eli.

It doesn’t really count toward your body count, so why not? ”

I’m trying not to let my mouth gape open at her reasoning. Body count? “We just think differently on this.”

Mia shrugs and sits back with a killer smile. “More for me. Maybe you’ve never felt the power of grabbing a guy by his dick and sliding your mouth over it. Taking control of their pleasure. Knowing what they want most in that minute is you. Your mouth. Your body. It’s fucking powerful stuff, Evan.”

I don’t know what to say to that. Have I felt it? Yes. Is she right? Also yes. But I can’t talk about what I’m doing with the guys with anyone. Not even Mia. Especially not Mia.

“It’s okay though.” Mia leans forward again and her smile softens. “Someday you’ll understand. Then those guys better watch out.”

I sip my coffee and Mia decides to go into more detail of her night with Liam and Fletcher. Apparently, I only caught the first showing. There was apparently an encore.

By the time I park Damon’s car in the garage, I’m afraid my cheeks are permanently red. The amount of detail she went into wasn’t necessary, but maybe she wanted to empower me. To give me the confidence to suck a cock and broaden my sexual experiences?

I’m all for female sexuality and the freedom to express it, but I don’t know. For some reason, it’s never felt like the right time to have sex. Granted, I’m loving coming on their tongues and fingers, and I like the feel of their cocks in my mouth.

Have I imagined how it’s going to feel when they fuck me? I clench my thighs together at the aching need pressing there. It doesn’t help that once I’m in that house, I’ll be under Damon’s command again.

I guess I could have talked to Mia about what they want from me. To explore the darker sides of their sexuality? How would I even look that up? What would I look up? Being held down?

What I know is they have full control over me. If Damon wants me, he just has to command me. My pussy throbs. Yeah, that’s not as distasteful as it should be.
