Part-Time Lover [The Doms of Sybaris Cove 5] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)

by Tara Rose

  “True.”

  “So, I’m guessing your aunt doesn’t know?”

  “Oh, you’re wrong on that count. She does know. He told her, and then she forgave him and took him back. And that’s not the worst part. That wasn’t the only affair he had. I don’t know which of them is the bigger fool. Him for cheating on a wife that is devoted to him, or her for taking him back more than once.”

  Ian shook his head. “I don’t get that. Cheating, I mean.”

  “Me either. I mean, if you agree to invite someone else into the relationship, and everyone is okay with it, that’s different. Like Leta and Nando. Graham is now her Dom as well. But Leta and Graham didn’t sneak around behind Nando’s back. It’s not the same thing.”

  “I agree. If there’s consent from all parties, it’s not cheating.”

  “So, do you think I should let Jagger know that I know about this? I feel badly for keeping it from him.”

  “I’m not sure. If it comes up, I suppose you should. But I don’t think you should worry about it. And I wish you wouldn’t assume he’d choose Asa’s side over yours. I’m sure he isn’t blind to the fact that both of you are straddling a fence right now.”

  The thunder and lightning had moved off to the east, but she watched the sky anyway for a few seconds. “I suppose he realizes that as much as I do, even if we never talk about it. Both of us have divided loyalties.”

  “And technically, you’re cousins.”

  “But not by blood. We’ve crossed no lines here.”

  “I know that. Does Asa know you two see each other?”

  “I think so.”

  “Well, there. You see? If he knew and was dead set against it, Jagger would have heard about it by now.”

  She nodded, remembering how Asa had tried to dictate to Kade Durante and Elliot Raleigh that they not see Giselle Macey. Kade and Elliot used to run the manufacturing department, and Giselle made custom floggers for them. When Asa forced the men to choose, they quit. Now, the three were planning on opening a club on property that Kade and Elliot owned, close to their homes.

  Asa had also tried to interfere with Jade Augustine seeing both Liam and Estevan Durante. The two were now Doms to her. Estevan didn’t work at Phoebe’s Playthings, but Liam did. But none of those men had let Asa tell them what to do in their personal lives. Maybe Jagger wouldn’t either?

  “Are you going back to bed?” he asked.

  “Only if you don’t need a ride home.”

  “I’d like to stay.”

  “Jagger did invite you to. I wish you would.”

  Ian smiled. “That’s right. He did say something about us fucking you once we were hard again.”

  Shivers ran up and down her spine. “That’s true. He did.” She glanced toward his shorts, which were the only thing he wore, and couldn’t miss the bulge. “That’s one of you. Should we wake him up and see if he’s ready again, as well?”

  His eyes blazed with lust. “You really wouldn’t mind?”

  “If I minded, I wouldn’t have acknowledged it.” She and Ian stared into each other’s eyes for long moments, and when he kissed her, Kai wasn’t surprised at all. He really was a fantastic kisser, and she was moved by the fact he’d taken the time to give her insight into his family, and into what Jagger might be thinking. It made her one of them, and it was a very thoughtful thing to do for her.

  When he released the kiss, guilt crossed his features. “I shouldn’t have done that.”

  “Well, now I have dirt on you, so I know you’ll keep your mouth shut about my uncle and Asa.”

  Ian laughed softly, but she sensed an undercurrent of uncertainty. She tried to put herself in his place, and understood why he might not feel that he was on solid ground. But she wished he didn’t feel as if he had no right to be here. She took his hand. “Come on, stud. Let’s go wake up Jagger and hold him to his word.”

  She started to walk into the house, but pressure on her hand stopped her. “Hang on a second. I have to say this or I won’t get it out.”

  Kai faced him and waited.

  “I’ve always thought you were an exotic woman. But I never knew you were like this. I mean, so much fun and so…so sexy and exciting. No matter what happens after tonight, I wanted to thank you for this, Kai. All of it. The play, the sex, and the trust you’ve shown me. Thank you.”

  “We only had oral. Does that still count as sex?”

  Ian laughed softly. “Well, I think it does. You’re amazing, and I really enjoyed the play, too. I hope Jagger lets us do this again, and I don’t mean just the play.”

  “Ian…I don’t know what to say right now. You’re welcome. That doesn’t sound adequate, does it? I’m very happy we both ended up here tonight.”

  He pulled her close and held her. As Kai listened to his heart race, she wondered what the hell was going to happen. What had she gotten herself into here? She really liked Ian, but her loyalties were to Jagger. She was very confused.

  Finally, he released her, and she took his hand again to walk inside and wake up her Dom.

  Chapter Eight

  Kai relit the candles in Jagger’s room and then jumped on the bed and kissed Jagger’s face. She moved to his torso, tracing the Taino tats with her tongue, and when she reached his dick, he finally woke up.

  “Whoa…why don’t you do this more often?”

  She giggled and sat back on her heels. “Ian and I have been awake for half an hour. It’s about time you joined us.”

  “What time is it?”

  “Time for you to make good on your earlier promise, Sir.”

  He looked confused for a second, and then a slow, sexy grin spread across his face. “Oh yeah. Almost forgot about that.” He narrowed his eyes at Ian. “So…you two have been up for half an hour? What were you doing?”

  “Talking about our fucked-up families,” said Ian, shedding his shorts. He crawled on the bed and knelt behind Kai, reaching around to grab her breasts. “Mmmmm…I like this. Why don’t you finish what you started on him with that delicious mouth of yours, so I can fuck your pussy from behind.”

  “Oh God,” she whispered, moving to do what he said.

  “As long we take turns with that,” said Jagger.

  “Absolutely.” Ian scooted backward on the bed, and when Kai began to lick Jagger’s cock, he slipped two fingers into her pussy. “You’re soaked. I don’t think we’ll need lube.”

  “She does get wet easily, doesn’t she?” Jagger buried his fingers in her hair. “Fucking gorgeous, sexy wildcat.”

  Kai moaned as Ian slid his dick into her pussy from behind. He reached around and stroked her clit, and she knew she was going to come quickly. She lifted her gaze toward Jagger. “Sir, do I have permission to come?”

  “Yeah. Go for it, beautiful.”

  “Oh, thank you.” She returned to sucking and licking his cock, and when her orgasm came, it wasn’t as intense as the one earlier, but it was still fucking incredible.

  Ian withdrew and lay on his back, motioning her toward his crotch. She crawled over and took his dick into her mouth, making noises in the back of her throat to let him know how much she enjoyed it. Behind her, Jagger played with her clit and breasts, and then he slid his cock into her pussy and fucked her rough and hard.

  Kai was lost in a sea of unfamiliar sensations. The combination of one cock in her mouth and one in her pussy was more exquisite than she’d ever imagined it could be. She never wanted it to end. They changed places one more time, and she was out of her mind with the need to come again. But before she did, Jagger crawled off the bed and told them he’d be right back.

  Ian continued to fuck her pussy from behind, and Kai watched Jagger pull the bottle of lube out of his dresser, plus a package of condoms. Ian must have seen him, too, because he stopped thrusting and withdrew. He put on the condom that Jagger handed him, and then both men were behind her with condoms on.

  “Safewords apply, Kai.”

  “Yes, Sir.” She’d always lo
ved anal and was so damn excited that now she’d get to experience it with both of them. One of them filled her asshole with lube, gently stretching the walls. She closed her eyes because she didn’t want to know who went first. It was more fun that way.

  He slid his dick into her so gently that she guessed it was Ian. Not that Jagger had ever been too rough with her, but his touch was different. And it hardly mattered. It felt incredible. Jagger played with her clit and nipples while Ian fucked her ass, and then when they switched places, Ian did the same.

  She could get used to this. Having both men play with her and fuck her. Is this what Leta and Giselle got to experience all the time? Lucky women.

  The guys changed places a couple of times, and when Kai came again, she was too weak to do more than moan softly. But she didn’t mind. This was so damn erotic and fun, and she didn’t want them to stop.

  “I need to fuck hard.” Jagger withdrew and tore off his condom. “I can’t take any more.”

  He kissed her lower back, and then he pushed his dick into her pussy and fucked her like he’d never do it again. She grabbed fistfuls of the comforter and hung on as he slammed into her. An unprecedented fourth climax began to build. When he came, his cries joined hers, and then Ian was inside her, fucking her just as hard and deep as Jagger had done.

  “Oh my God, you feel so damn good…”

  She didn’t answer. She couldn’t. All she could do was whimper as he finally came as well, and then they took turns holding her and stroking her damp hair and back until she drifted off to sleep, completely sated and happy. Nothing else mattered right now. She had no idea what would happen in the morning, and right now she didn’t care.

  * * * *

  Ian woke as the sun was rising. Jagger and Kai were sound asleep, wrapped in each other’s arms. He watched her breathing for a few moments while hot jealousy spread through his limbs. They’d given him more than he’d ever thought would happen. Why couldn’t he be content with that?

  Because I’ve had her and now no one will ever compare. It wasn’t only that. He hadn’t expected to have so much fun simply being with her. It wasn’t only the play and the sex. She was a warm, wonderful woman. He’d never known that about her, and he wanted to get to know her better. Much better.

  As he crawled out of bed and dressed, he recalled their conversation out on the deck last night. It hadn’t occurred to him how much she cared about Jagger, or how much she understood the divided loyalty he must feel. He was ashamed that he’d assumed all of Jesse and Wendy’s family would be as ruthless as they were. He’d been so wrong about Kai.

  She was a sweet girl. How she’d escaped the cruelty that Jesse and Wendy had shown their family members was beyond him, but she had. Kai was kind and intelligent, and she hadn’t chosen sides or written off the Durante and Raleigh bunch as her aunt and uncle had.

  She also didn’t believe Asa had set those fires. She might have told him she wasn’t sure, but he’d seen the truth in her eyes. She didn’t believe the man was capable of arson and murder any more than Jagger did.

  And she loved Jagger. She might not have said those exact words, but it was so plainly written on her face when she looked at him or touched him. Did he know? Couldn’t he see it? And how did he really feel about Kai? Was he only playing around with her, or did his feelings run deeper and he’d never told her because of her uncle’s and Asa’s ridiculous feud?

  Ian would need to talk to him, but that time wasn’t now. He’d stayed long enough. And he’d have to walk home because he wasn’t going to bother either of them for a ride. With one last, long look at Kai, he went downstairs and looked for paper and a pen. When he finally found both buried in a kitchen drawer, he wrote a note to them explaining he’d gone home to get some work done, and thanking them again for such a fabulous night.

  He added a quick sentence about hoping they could do it again sometime, and then he got the hell out of there because the urge to return to Jagger’s bedroom was too strong. Kai wasn’t his submissive or even his friend with benefits. This had been a onetime thing. He and Jagger had agreed on that. It was time to man up and leave.

  As he made his way down the hill, he allowed the memories of last night to wash over him one more time. It was best to get them out of the way, and then he could put this behind him and return to work on Monday, knowing he hadn’t acted like an asshole with his friend’s girl. He wouldn’t be that guy.

  When he reached the bottom of the hill, he turned around and stared at the balcony on which they’d both stood last night, wishing she was on it now, but it was empty.

  * * * *

  Jagger woke to the smell of coffee and eggs frying. Who the hell was in his kitchen cooking? Kai never stayed to make him breakfast. It must be Ian. He took a quick shower and put on clean clothes, and when he came downstairs he felt guilty as he watched Kai sip coffee and eat eggs and toast alone. She was on his laptop, and the plate she’d made him was cooling next to her. She turned and smiled at him, but the usual light in her eyes was gone.

  “Kai, I’m sorry. I thought you’d left and it was Ian, mooching off me.”

  She slid a piece of paper from a legal pad across the counter. “He left this morning.”

  “Did you drive him?”

  “No. He walked. I didn’t know he was gone until I found this.”

  “I smelled the coffee and food but didn’t realize you were still here, or I would have come right down.”

  “I’d offer to warm up the food, but it would taste like shit microwaved.”

  He nuzzled her neck, but she didn’t respond like she usually did. “It was really sweet of you to make it for me. Thank you. You never stay this long, so I didn’t expect it.”

  He swore she flinched a bit. “You asked me to stay last night. Or, did I misinterpret that?”

  “No. Not at all. Thank you.” Jagger ate the eggs and toast even though they were too cool now and tasted like rubber. “Are you upset with me for some reason?”

  “No, Sir.”

  She scrolled through the website, her eyes glued to the screen.

  “Then is something else wrong?”

  “No. Nothing. I’m fine.”

  Uh-oh. “Kai, just tell me what’s got you so upset.”

  She finally made eye contact, and he swore she’d been crying, which wasn’t like her at all. What the hell had happened? Surely it wasn’t the note from Ian. All it said was that he had work to do and hadn’t wanted to wake them, so he’d walked home. He also thanked them for the evening and said he hoped they could do it again sometime. Had he done or said something to upset her while Jagger had been asleep?

  “Are you upset that he left like that?”

  “He wanted to leave last night before we both came into the room and woke you up, but I talked him out of it.”

  Jagger hated the jealousy that swept through him. “I’m glad you did. But why did he want to leave last night?” She’d said the two had been awake for half an hour. Had they really talked about family issues, or had he missed a more involved, personal conversation?

  “He felt as though he’d overstayed his welcome. You two agreed last night was a onetime thing. The play, I mean. Right? The invitation to have him join us in bed came later, once we were here. So he felt awkward still being in the house after we’d all gone to sleep.”

  Jagger could understand that, but he wished Ian had said something to him last night. “I’ll talk to him. I don’t want him left with that impression.”

  She studied his face for a few seconds, which was usually a sign she was trying to find a hidden meaning in his words. “Does that mean you’d like to repeat last night?”

  “It might.”

  “Sir, please be straight with me right now. I really need that.”

  Her tone was full of annoyance. That wasn’t like her either. She was usually quite easygoing and uncomplicated. It was one of the reasons he enjoyed being with her. He didn’t have to put on airs or pretend with her.


  He put down his fork and brushed her arm with one finger. “Please get off the computer and talk to me. What’s wrong this morning? This isn’t like you.”

  She pushed the laptop over so he could see the screen. “There are so many of them now. The news stories. They’re saying the most horrible things about both our families. But I want to know how the hell they found this out.”

  Jagger swore under his breath more than once as he read a story that outed the affair Dot and Jesse had had, and how Asa had discovered it because they’d had sex in his office at Phoebe’s Playthings. “Holy fuck. Who told them this?”

  Her eyes widened. “You knew?”

  “Yes.”

  “I didn’t realize that. I did, too.”

  He locked gazes with her. “Well, now everyone does. Asa is going to go nuts when he reads this.” Jagger rose and placed the dishes in the sink. “I’m sorry to be so abrupt, but I have to go into the office. Graham and I have major damage control to work on.”

  “Of course. I understand. You go on. I can clean up before I go home.”

  Jagger crossed the space between them and pulled her into his arms. “Is that all that’s bothering you? Please tell me the truth.”

  “This isn’t the time. You need to go and fix this for the company. Can we talk later?”

  He met her gaze. “Only if you swear you’ll tell me what’s bothering you.”

  “I will, Sir. Will you let me know if you want last night to happen again?”

  “I can let you know that right now. I do want it to happen again. But we’ll discuss that as well later. Deal?”

  She almost smiled, and once again Jagger couldn’t help but wonder if what was really bothering her had to do with Ian, not her uncle’s affair hitting the national news. “Deal, Sir.”

  He sprinted upstairs to put on clothes more suitable for going out in public, and when he came downstairs she was already loading the dishwasher. He kissed her deeply then brushed a finger along her face. “See you later. I’ll call you and let you know when I’m done working.”
