“You’re trying to kill me.”
“Me kill you?” Nico said. “You’re the one who won’t let me come. You should feel how hard I am. I’m going to strain something.”
“It’s to teach you a lesson.”
“Is the lesson that my sweetie’s mean? Because if so, lesson learned.”
Jesus. Ridiculous asshole.
“And now I need another shower,” Nico complained.
“You’ll live,” Liam told him. He removed his arm and turned to look at his husband. “I know what I’m going to call her.”
“You’re going to give her some cute nickname? You?” Nico gave him a shocked look.
“I am.” He smiled as satisfaction filled him. “I’m going to call her mine.”
Nico grinned. “Ours.”
Lottie Malone was going to be theirs.
No matter what.

Where is she?
Nico tapped his fingers against the table. He’d been sitting at the dining table for close to an hour now. Liam had left earlier with Regent. They’d agreed to split and conquer.
It was better that Nico approached her first, anyway. Most people found Liam terrifying, and Liam never cared to dispel their fear. But he was going to have to with Lottie. Because scaring her wasn’t part of the plan.
So, Nico would pave the way.
Liam wasn’t all bad like he thought he was. Could he love Nico like he did if he was? Doubtful.
Yeah, he hadn’t always lived on the right side of the law. He’d done things that most people would find unforgivable.
But Nico wasn’t one of those people.
He wondered if she was ever going to come down for breakfast. How was he supposed to commence his campaign to win her over if she wasn’t even going to appear?
Darn girl needed to eat. Liam was right about her losing weight. It worried Nico. Most things about their girl did, though.
He worried that he wasn’t gentle enough to ease Liam’s rougher edges. That together they’d be overwhelming. Frightening.
Don’t go borrowing trouble. This is what you want. She’s what you want.
He’d waited a long time to make his move on her. It had been an ache in his heart, not having her with him. As though he was missing a piece of himself. Lottie would complete them.
Nico didn’t know what she’d seen in that worm Michael. That had been a moment of bad taste. He guessed everyone was allowed to fuck up at least once.
Nico had always wanted her. Liam had been more reticent. Nico got it. Change was hard for Liam. He’d known it would take him time to convince him that adding a third wouldn’t destroy their relationship. But it had taken him even longer than he could have foreseen.
Because she’d been kidnapped. Terrorized.
After that, even Nico had been concerned about what to do. He’d tried to push her from his mind.
It hadn’t happened.
His phone buzzed. Liam.
Great. He should have known he wouldn’t keep his nose out of things. For someone who had written off any idea of a relationship with Lottie, he suddenly wanted to move at warp speed.
“Hello, sweetie-pie,” he answered with a grin, making his voice sound light and high-pitched. “Do you miss me? Were you thinking about what we did last night in bed? About my mouth around your cock?”
There, take that, you asshole.
Okay, so he might still be smarting from not being allowed to come last night.
“You’re in fucking trouble now,” Liam growled in response, making him shiver at the deliciously dark tone. “Thought you’d curb that tongue in the hopes that you’d get to come tonight.”
Fuck. Had he pushed it too far?
“That’s okay, I took care of that problem once you left,” he lied.
“I know you’re lying, Nico.”
“How do you know that?” he queried.
“I can always tell. Also, if you had jacked off you know damn well I’d put you in a cock cage.”
Hmm. But maybe he wanted that.
Actually, no, he didn’t.
What he wouldn’t mind, though, was feeling some soft, warm lips around his dick. Watching as Lottie took him deep.
Fuck yeah. He wouldn’t mind that at all.
Damn it, though. Now he was sporting a problem that he couldn’t take care of.
Liam wouldn’t really know if he solved the issue, would he? Nico enjoyed pushing the boundaries. But that was generally to get Liam to bite back.
Nico liked Liam’s bite.
Reaching down, he adjusted himself. He was alone in the dining room, the food on the sideboard likely going cold as he waited for Lottie to make an appearance. With a sigh, he got up and grabbed a plate. He was a growing boy who had to eat.
“So?” Liam snapped.
“So, what?”
“How’s it going?”
“Since you told me I can’t go jack off in the bathroom, not so good.”
A gasp sounded behind him and for a moment he thought it was his girl. But when he spun around, one of the maids was standing there. She’d probably come to clean up the breakfast stuff and heard him talking about jacking off.
Oh, well, she’d get over it.
