“You have no idea what it does to me to hear you ask that,” he growls, deep in the back of his throat. As much a threat as a promise. “Are you sure you want to play this game?”
I run my hand over his pec, feeling its muscular outline through his tight T-shirt. “What are the rules?”
“Do you trust me?”
I nod. The only people in this town that have proven to want to protect me are the four men in this room—even Outlaw. Maybe it’s stupid, but I do trust him.
“Then rule number one. You don’t let anyone fuck with you unless you want it. Even if that’s me. Rule number two. While you’re with us, you belong to all of us.”
My knees go a little weak. “Is that it?”
He shakes his head, and the smile on his lips should be illegal. A dimple stands out next to the scar. “Yeah, one more. Rule number three. You do what you’re fucking told.”

HARPER
Shadow’s fingers thread into my hair and hold me in place while he kisses me like he's trying to devour me.
I’m losing touch with the person I used to be, because I’m not worried about anything except the relief of knowing that I can turn off my brain and leave him in the driver's seat. For once, not having to be in charge of anything. It’s an incredibly powerful feeling.
I moan into Shadow's mouth as he claims me.
Shadow pulls back. “Shh.”
“But—”
“Quiet.” He stops me with a callused finger on my lips and a clever smile on his. “We don’t want to wake anyone else up, do we? I'm gonna need you to be real fucking quiet. Not a sound, got it? The twins have already gotten a taste and right now I want you all to my fucking self. Can you do that?”
I nod eagerly. That’s easy. I can keep quiet if he wants.
“Say it,” he commands.
“I'll be quiet,” I mouth silently.
He smirks. “We'll see. But if you're not, I might have to punish you.”
“You wha—”
“Shh.”
I shut up, then swallow thickly as he grips the hem of my T-shirt and pulls it up. I open my mouth to say something, but one look, and I close it again. When he gets it up to my armpits, I raise my arms so he can take it all the way off.
“Good girl,” he whispers, and the soft words give me goosebumps.
Am I that desperate for affirmation? Does it matter if it feels so good?
He pops the hooks on my bra with practiced fingers, and pulls me into a chair with him, leaving me topless in his lap. His big, warm hands cover my breasts, capturing one in each and trapping my nipples between his thumbs and index fingers. My heart jumps up in my throat. I try not to moan, but a little peep comes out.
He raises an eyebrow as he pins me with his deep hazel orbs, but lets it pass. For now.
Okay, maybe this won’t be quite as easy as I thought, but the threat of what he might do if I can’t stay quiet is almost as exciting as being ordered to try in the first place.
Things moved fast and hard with Lightning and Thunder, but Shadow takes his time. He caresses my sensitive skin, exploring me with a curiosity that borders on obsession. Every time he tugs on a nipple, my core clenches in anticipation. “These are fucking treasures,” he whispers, then kisses me on the side of my neck, his stubble scraping against my skin as his teeth nip. A little zing of pain arcs from my neck, and I let out a brief hiss to keep from yelping out loud.
That’s cheating. I'm not going to be able to stay quiet if he keeps doing stuff like that.
“Stand up and turn around.” He eases me out of his lap, and I let him, reluctantly. I felt safe there, but when he tugs me back to stand between his legs with my breasts right in his face, I forget about being annoyed. He sucks a nipple into his mouth as he unbuttons my jeans. A slick tongue circles my hard bud while Shadow works both my pants and panties down at the same time. I wiggle my hips to help him, and they pool around my ankles. I toe off my shoes and step out of them.
I've never felt so exposed.
I'm completely naked in a room with four men. Three of them are sleeping, but they could wake up at any time and watch. The only thing blocking their view of me is Shadow, and he's sitting down. And we’re still not safe. If anyone was going to find us here, they'd probably have done so by now, but still. It's terrifying, and yet I'm soaking wet, the evidence cooling on the insides of my thighs.
