She could feel herself blushing and shifted around on Liam’s lap as pleasure flooded her again.
“Easy, baby girl.” Liam grasped hold of her hips with a grimace.
“Oh, no, did I hurt you? Am I too heavy?”
They both gave her looks of disbelief.
“Too heavy?” Liam asked. “You could gain ten pounds and a stiff wind would still bowl you over.”
Nico groaned, hiding his face behind his hands. “I can’t believe you said that.”
“What? It’s the truth.”
“Yeah, but you basically just told her that she’s too skinny.”
“You don’t like my body,” she asked, putting a sad pout on her lips. Truth is, she knew she was too thin. And she got that Liam wasn’t saying that to hurt her feelings. It was just his way.
But teasing him was way too much fun.
“What? Why? How?” He let out a growling noise. “Are you serious? Not find you attractive? I turned into a fucking schoolboy the first time I saw you because you’re so beautiful.”
“That’s so sweet,” she said.
“It is. Are you feeling all right, Liam?” Nico held up his hand to Liam’s forehead as though taking his temperature.
“Quit it,” Liam commanded.
“So, if I’m not too heavy, what’s wrong? Does your back hurt?”
Liam gave her a look then nodded to Nico. “See his cock?”
Fact was, she couldn’t see much else but Nico. All that bare skin, gorgeous tattoos, and his thick cock.
“Yep?”
“Now think about what would happen if your cute little ass was pressed against it.”
Huh? What . . . Oh. He meant that he . . . She turned to look at Liam and he nodded.
“Oh, sorry. Are you . . . do you need some help, um, oh . . .”
“She’s so cute when she’s flustered,” Nico said.
Liam grunted then lifted her off him. “I don’t think you’re quite ready to help me with that.”
“I could though,” Nico said eagerly.
“I have an online video call in ten,” Liam said. Then reaching over, he cupped Nico’s chin. “But later.”
“Well, then maybe Lottie can help me.” Nico stared over at her suggestively.
“Nice try, not happening. Both of you tidy yourselves up. Nico, you can get dressed but you’re to leave the plug in for another hour. I’ll meet you both downstairs.”
Getting up, Liam adjusted himself then drew her in for a quick kiss. “My turn to taste you next.”
She swayed on her feet as he left.
“Damn, he’s being so much more dominant lately,” Nico complained.
“He is?”
“Yeah. Which means I get to come much less.”
“Sorry?”
“You’re not sorry, brat,” Nico growled at her. “Just remember, I get you all to myself tonight. While the master is away, his subs are gonna play.”
“Better to ask for forgiveness than permission, huh?”
“You’re starting to get this brat thing down.”
“So, Liam has to go out again tonight.” As soon as she said the words she wished them back. She dropped her gaze to her feet. Crap.
“Hey, look at me.”
“I really need to go get into some painting clothes.” The urge to paint was overwhelming. It was her saving grace.
“Charlotte, look at me.”
A shiver raced over her, and she readied her gaze. Didn’t matter that he was standing there naked, he had completely commanded her attention with that voice.
“That’s better.” He narrowed his gaze, studying her. “You don’t want Liam to go out?”
“I don’t . . . I just . . . it’s nothing. Forget I said it.”
“Stay still,” he ordered.
Damn it. She sighed.
“It’s not nothing if it’s upsetting you.”
“It’s not upsetting me. I just thought it might be nice to spend the night with the two of you. But I understand. He’s got to help my brother, and I’m grateful. I’m worried about Regent. I have no right to complain.”
“You weren’t complaining. You were just asking a question and expressing a need.”
“I don’t want to sound too needy.”
Nico snorted. “Oh, pretty girl, you have a lot to learn. You tell Liam you need something, and that man will move heaven and earth to get it for you. Don’t you get it? He thrives on being needed. Even when his scum-sucking brother needed him, he was there for him. If it’s you doing the asking . . . Lottie, Liam wants to know that you need him.”
“He does?”
“Just because he’s a Dom doesn’t make him a mind reader. And Doms have feelings too you know.” He winked at her, and she rolled her eyes at his silliness. “Tell him. Trust me.”
“But you’re both already doing so much for me . . .”
“None of that matters. It’s our choice. Because you are ours and there is nothing we wouldn’t do for you.”
“Are you ever going to let us see what you paint?”
Lottie glanced over at Liam, who looked up from his laptop. He’d pulled a desk in from one of the other rooms so he could work in the solarium while she painted. Nico often worked with him, although he’d just left to go get them a snack.
