She reached in and pulled the box from the bag. A computer. She drew in a sharp breath. “But I can’t get online. I can’t take any classes.” She bit her lip.
“We have an alias for you to use if you get online. No classes right now, not formal ones, but we have some online courses for you as well as books and the opportunity to play with coding.” Sawyer tapped the top of the box. “We want you to have a life as close to normal as we can get it right now.”
“Thank you so much. Life’s not so bad here. This may not be the city, but I’m not locked up in a house. I can go outside, even though I have to stay inside the community. At least, I haven’t been attacked again.” She lifted a shoulder. Always a good thing. Out on the street, she’d probably be paranoid as hell. Anyone passing by could be one of the hunters.
“These men will be stopped. And you’ll get on with your studies. How and where you use them will be the question,” Noah said.
She frowned. What did he mean? Oh, the whole don’t age as fast thing. “Because with a human company, me not changing would be noticed, right?”
“Right. I don’t think there’s a gargoyle company that does games though.” Sawyer frowned.
“Well, maybe it’s time someone started one.” She frowned, too. Not that she had the first idea of how to start one, much less run one. She still needed to get her degree.
“That is an idea.” Noah tilted his head. “I think I’ll talk to Cim Sin.”
She blinked at him. What did he mean?
Sawyer’s hand ran over her arm. “I think Noah has a new project. Eat up, treasure. We have a long night ahead of us.”
They finished eating and chatted through dessert and coffee. Finally, Sawyer paid the bill and they left the restaurant. Contentment flowed through her. It had been such a nice night so far. And still so much to come.
“Now, we can go home and I can enjoy running my hands over your sweet body.” Phoenix pressed his hand to her lower back.
“I think I’ll get a little touching in as well.” She smoothed her hand over his chest. The fabric blunted the warmth radiating from him. She couldn’t wait until that was off.
“I don’t know. I thought maybe we could try a little time with your hands bound. How do you feel about that? The other two will be right there to watch and make sure that you aren’t panicked.” Phoenix slanted a look down at her as they stopped by the car.
“Hmm, that sounds intriguing. I guess you three better make it good then.” She licked her lips. “If I can’t touch, then it better be intense.”
Sawyer laughed. “We’ll make it very hot for you, treasure. You’ll call our names as you writhe with the pleasure.”
“Let’s go home. There’s a rope waiting to wrap around her wrists.” Noah pulled open the side door. He held out his hand.
She took it and climbed into the car. Warmth curled through her, settling low in her belly. Their manners and the light touches made her feel so special. She snapped her seat belt into place and waited as they settled in their seats. They drove home.
As she walked into the living room with them, wings fluttered in her belly. They wanted to tie her. Hopefully, she could do this and not flake at the last minute. No one had ever tied her during sex. Even though she trusted them, she could panic when those ropes snugged around her wrists.
“All right, treasure, let’s head into the bedroom and spread you out on the bed after we strip these clothes off you. Then we’ll secure your hands. If you get scared, all you have to do is tell us. We’ll take it off and maybe try again another time. This is about your enjoyment. If you don’t like it, we don’t have to do it.” Noah urged her back to the hallway.
“I want to give this a good try. Just be patient. I’ve never done anything like this before.” She licked her lips. Then again, her life had been full of firsts lately.
“As patient as you need. This will only be good for us, if you like it, too. There are so many ways to find pleasure. We can take it slow and learn what works for all of us.” Phoenix eased in behind them.
“Thank you. You wouldn’t hurt me. I know that, even if sometimes I wonder if I’m sane for believing it.” She licked her lips. They’d met only a short time ago, and this was hardly a normal relationship.
Sawyer strolled into the room, unbuttoning his shirt. “Everything will fall into place, Tempest. Now, how about you strip out of that pretty dress?”
She reached back and lowered the zipper. As the fabric loosened, she gathered the material and pulled it over her head. A low male groan thrilled her. What did they like more? The garterless stockings, or the very lacy panties and bra, which offered a peekaboo view of the sexy bits? She finished tugging the dress over her head and tossed it away.
“Oh my, you’re a delicious treasure.” Noah stepped closer and drew his fingers along the edge of her bra. “And look. There’s a pretty pink nipple teasing me from one of the whirls of lace.”
“I can see a hint of pink between her thighs. It almost makes me want to have her leave on the panties so that I can spread her wide and discover what I’d see through them.” Sawyer ran his finger down her stomach and over her lace-covered pussy.
She shivered. A spear of heat lanced through her, and liquid seeped from her. Oh, damn, that would be delicious. The hot puff of his breath across her flesh and his eyes locked on her would be so sexy.
“But then we’d have to take them off later and maybe rip the pretty things. This time, I think she should take them off. I want to see her in them again. Next time, we can tease her through that lacy wrapping until she’s screaming and clawing at us.” Phoenix shook his head. “Take off the bra and panties, Tempest.”
“But leave the stockings. Those are so sexy.” Noah swept his hand over the edge of the black stockings.
“Like them, huh?” She raised an eyebrow. Although they’d managed to get some of her clothes and bought more, a lot of what she owned remained at her home. If she could ever get all of that, there were a couple things secreted in the back of her closet that might make them wild.
“Love them.” Phoenix tugged at her bra. “Now, get rid of this. We have some plans for this sweet body.”
She unhooked the bra and dropped it before shimmying out of her panties. Cool air drifted over her body. She shivered, and not just from the cold. They swept their eyes down her body. Those heated gazes seared her.
“Delicious. Now, let’s get you in position.” Sawyer smiled.
“You’re still wearing a lot of clothes.” She tilted her head. He still had his pants on. If she sprawled naked in front of them, some delicious male flesh to ogle would be nice.
“They’ll come off soon. I want to tie your wrists. Stretch out in the center of the bed.” Sawyer drew his fingers over her ribs.
She wriggled and drew in a deep breath. Teasing man. “Tickles. Tormenting me is not the way to get me to be still.”
“Well, we do need you to be still for a little while. On the bed and quit teasing.” Sawyer tapped her buttocks.
A sting zipped through her. She tensed. The man deserved to see teasing, but curiosity swirled through her. She crawled onto the bed. With each move, she put a little extra wiggle in her ass. Since she wouldn’t get to touch, she’d tease any way she could. She rolled onto her back in the middle of the bed. If they wanted her in another position, they’d tell her.
“That’s good, Tempest. Now, stretch those arms up above your head.” Sawyer climbed onto the bed beside her. “Noah’s getting the rope. It’s nice and soft and won’t chafe your skin.”
“But it will hold me? If you tie me up tonight, I don’t want to be able to slip out of it.” She bit her lip. Even though she was a little nervous, she wanted the real thing. They better not try to go too easy on her.
“It will hold you. You won’t be able to slip right out of it.” Noah smacked the rope on his palm. “We might not want to panic you, but we also want you to feel what it’s like to be at our mercy. We hope you love it.”
�
�What are you waiting for then? My hands are up, and I’m kind of lonely just waiting here. Before all this delay, I was at a nice low hum, but now, you’ll have to start all over.” She pushed out her lower lip. Not that it would take them that long to make her burn.
Noah laughed. “You won’t be lonely long.”
He climbed onto the bed beside her with the rope still clutched in his hand. Nervousness fluttered in her belly. Could she let them tie her up? She took a deep breath. No way would she freak herself out before she even gave it a try. He clasped her wrist and wound the cord around it. The rope tightened, but not too much.
“Is that good? I don’t want to cut off your circulation. Twist your wrist for me.” Noah glanced down at her.
“It feels good, not too tight, but definitely there.” She swiveled her wrist. The rope slid over her skin.
“Good. Now, Sawyer will tie the other wrist after I run this through the hook.” Noah reached above her.
“What hook? I’ve never seen a hook.” She craned her neck upward and twisted a little.
“You would have had to actually look for it to find it. It’s below the mattress level.” Noah chuckled. “Now, be still.”
“We’ll start playing soon,” Sawyer said as he glided his hand over her arm.
“I could definitely start now.” Phoenix’s voice sounded from the bottom of the bed. He crawled up and spread her legs.
“Not until she’s secure.” Noah shook his head.
“He’s no fun, is he, sweet Tempest?” Phoenix glided his hands up her thighs.
“Seems a little strict when they have both my hands.” She tilted one leg out, but he didn’t take the invitation.
Noah shook his head as he rose. “She’ll find pleasure soon.”
The rope wound around her other wrist. She glanced over. Sawyer finished knotting the rope and slid his fingers along the edge, testing the tightness. It held her, but was loose enough to allow some movement. Not bad.
“Now, we can start teasing our girl.” Noah nodded.
“Good, I can’t wait to taste the delicious essence here.” Phoenix licked her thigh.
Noah eased down beside her. He brushed his lips back and forth over hers. She opened for him. His spicy heat filled her as his tongue drove deep. She pulled but halted as the rope tightened, preventing her from reaching him. Damn it. She groaned. Tingles raced from her fingertips up her arms. She drew in a shaky breath. The urge to grip his hair and hold him against her surged forward.
Phoenix slid his lips back and forth over her thigh before moving upward. He pressed a kiss to her mound. The man would drive her crazy. Moist, warm air puffed over her tissues. She caught her breath. Prickles danced over her skin.
A tongue lapped over her breast. Sawyer. He swirled his tongue around the tip, right before teeth nipped at the bud. A sharp pang shot through her. Pleasure mixed with a hint of pain. She ripped away from Noah’s lips and drew in a gasping breath.
“Do you like that?” Sawyer swirled his tongue around her nipple before lightly sucking on it.
“Yes, but it’s intense.” She licked her lips.
“Then let’s double that.” Noah scraped his teeth over the other taut peak.
A skittering thrill zipped straight to her core. She arched, pressing against their mouths. They sucked the nubs deep into their mouths. Teeth and tongues tormented. Hands skimmed over her belly as Phoenix gripped her thighs.
A tongue swept over her folds and across the sensitive bundle of her clit. Oh, hell, Phoenix had started to play. He swiped his tongue over the nub. A jolt spiked through her. She clutched at the rope. She moved restlessly on the blanket. Heat blazed through her.
“Someone likes that,” Phoenix said, then swiped his tongue over her clit again. “Are you interested in playing a little more than this?”
A finger probed at the skin just above the puckered ring of her ass hole. She shivered.
“Do you want it?” Noah licked her nipple. “Would you like to explore what we can do to you? Not too much today. Just some teasing and stroking.”
“I’ve never done it, but yes.” She swallowed. A little nervousness tightened her stomach, but anticipation curled through her.
“We’ll make it feel good.” Sawyer handed Phoenix a couple pillows.
Phoenix slipped them underneath her, raising her hips. He swept his hands up and down her thighs before they lifted away. A slight snap popped through the room. He must have opened something.
“Better get back to her or she’ll be too focused on what I’m doing and not feeling the pleasure.” Phoenix lapped at her folds.
“We definitely will.” Sawyer scraped his teeth over her nipple. “I’ll play with that clit a little while your attention is elsewhere.”
A hand swept down her stomach. She wriggled. Sawyer brushed his fingers over her pussy. Tingling prickles coursed through her. She moaned. Each touch sent sparks dancing over her.
Two fingers settled over the hood. He rubbed in circles. She rocked her hips up into the too light touch. He plucked at the nub. She bit her lip.
Cool liquid trickled over her puckered rosette. She tensed and drew in a sharp breath. Sawyer’s fingers rubbed in slow circles around her clit. A jolt shot through her. She rocked into his touch.
A single digit pressed on the ring and slid in. So strange. She moaned. Noah drew her nipple deep and sucked hard. She bucked up. Another finger pushed into the tight ring.
“Does that feel good?” Phoenix asked.
She licked her lips. “A little strange, but not bad.”
“Good. You’ll fly even higher with this.” Phoenix slid the fingers in and out while Sawyer’s fingers rubbed over her clit.
A shrill ring broke through the silence.
“Son of a bitch, who the hell?” Phoenix’s head lifted and his fingers stilled within her.
Noah’s lips left her, and he rolled from the bed. He grabbed a phone from the side table. Swiping his finger over the phone, he groaned. She lifted her head. Who was calling now?
“Damn, Sawyer we have to go. Dante’s received word that there’s movement along the side of the walls. They need more men.” Noah exhaled.
“Fuck. Text him that we’ll be there.” Sawyer sighed and rolled to his feet. “Treasure, we’ll be back as soon as possible. Have fun with Phoenix while we’re gone.”
“Does he only need you two?” Phoenix lifted his hand and pulled his fingers from her.
“He only asked for us. And she shouldn’t be alone if there are hunters running around.” Noah shook his head and strode toward the closet.
“Before you get too far, release her. I’m going to wash my hands. We’ll change this up since you two won’t be here.” Phoenix rose to his knees.
“Will do.” Sawyer nodded and stepped over to the head of the bed.
Phoenix left the room. Sawyer worked on the ropes. He smiled at Tempest. She twisted her wrists in the bindings. A weight settled in her gut. Damn it. Was it another attack?
“Do they have weapons? Are they dangerous?” She licked her lips. What were they going to face out there?
“Don’t know, but we’ll be fine. We’ll have numbers on our side.” Noah strolled over and dropped a kiss on her cheek. “We’ll be back, and if it isn’t too late, we’ll pick up where we left off. Have fun while we’re gone.”
She bit her lip. Have fun? Not likely. The mood was a little gone. Sawyer dropped a kiss on her lips after he dressed and then they both left.
“I know you’re a little worried about them, but they’ll be fine.” Phoenix moved up the bed and massaged her wrists. “Now, how about we start playing and see how much attention you need?”
She bit her lip. “All right, but I’ll need some encouragement. The interruption killed the mood somewhat.”
“I think I can handle that. Now, let’s move you off that pillow. Since it’s just you and me, I want to watch my cock sliding in and out of you. See your pretty pink flesh taking me deep.” He scoo
ped an arm under her and tugged her off the pillows and closer to him.
She swept her hand out and knocked the pillows to the side. A thrill curled through her. How did he plan to do that?
“Good, right where I want you. Now, let’s see how you’re doing.” He rose to his knees and eased down the bed. “Not that I wouldn’t want to taste you anyway. You’re delicious, and I love the way you react when I suck your clit or tease it with my teeth.”
She widened her thighs. Tingles skittered through her. Hot breath feathered over her folds. She shivered. He curled his fingers around her thighs, smoothing them across her skin. Heat flickered through her. His tongue skimmed over her clit, sending a shock through her, her hips lifting instinctively. So good. He chuckled.
“I’ve barely started and already you’re lifting against me. I don’t think you lost too much interest.” He slid his fingers into her as he lashed the bud.
She caught her breath. Tease. As if he hadn’t been distracted by the interruption, too. She laced her fingers into his hair and tugged, pulling him closer. Soon, she’d have him.
“Do you want this?” He scraped his teeth over her clit.
Fire flared through her. She tensed, tightening her fingers, but he didn’t budge. He was tonguing her clit and deliberately making her crazy. Of course, she wanted that.
“Do you want it?” He nipped her thigh.
She groaned. Damn torturer. “Yes.”
He closed his mouth over her clit as he plunged his fingers into her. She bucked her hips up. The sensations coiled within her. She fisted her hands in his hair as he ate at her.
“You’re ready for me now.” He straightened and moved to the middle of the bed, laying down. “Climb onto me.”
“I get to ride you.” She rolled and crawled onto him. Oh, yes, time to ride the gargoyle!
“Yes, and I get to watch you.” He clasped her hips and guided her down.
She licked her lips. He rolled his hips upward, and his dick pushed into her, stretching her. She braced her hands on his chest. Sparks danced over her skin. The hunger ratcheted higher. As she sank down onto him, he drew in a harsh breath.
“Ride me, treasure. Show me how much you want me.” He skimmed his fingers across her hip. “Then we’ll fly together.”
