My words were a sharp warning when my head snapped toward him and he knew better. “Don’tfuckwith me right now.”

“Just give her a chance,” Chase insisted, leaning back on the couch. “Look…” he began, and I watched his chest rise and fall with a calming exhale. “If she doesn’t do well Saturday night, we’ll end it.”

I didn’t miss the confusion on Logan’s face. He didn’t fucking agree with that, but he knew that this was a mutual decision that had to be made.

“Give her Saturday night,” Chase nodded.

“Why did I think that in a house with three men there would—” Dakota cut herself off as she walked into the living room, shifting her eyes between the three of us. “Am I interrupting something?” she questioned, eyes wide with slight panic, and suddenly it was as though all the tension had left the room.

“No, Dakota. You aren’t,” Logan assured her and when her eyes met mine, I didn’t miss the subtle tense in her body.

“I can leave,” she said in uncertainty, not tearing her eyes from me and pointed her thumb over her shoulder.The little shit was scared. She had no reason to be, I’d never hurt her. But for some reason, I preferred it.

“Chase and Logan wouldn’t be too happy if you did,” I told her, crossing my arms over my chest and something flashed across her face before she forced a friendly smile.

Her voice was gentle. “Right.”

Chase pinned me with a displeased look, and subtle anger flickered in Logan’s eyes, but I didn’t care for either.

“Have a seat, Dakota,” Logan nodded towards Chase and she found her place beside him.

Comfortably, she crossed her legs on the couch and I didn’t miss the fearful glances she shot my way.

Finally, she shifted her eyes to Chase. “So… there are rules?”

“Yes,” he confirmed as he handed her not only the contract, but an NDA as well.We were very private.“We’ll give you a couple of days to read through it and consider our offer.”

It was evident that he already informed her about not only Saturday night, but aboutus.

Reluctantly, she nodded, taking it from him as though it would somehow burn her.

“If you have any questions feel free to ask either of us. We’ll be more than happy to help you,” Logan added as she skimmed through the pages.

“Fill in the empty spaces and your signature is compulsory. The last few pages are your hard and soft limits, as well as your preferred activities. It’s based on your own preference, no one else’s.Yesandnoare both equivalent to one hundred percent, so think carefully before ticking those boxes,” Chase sternly explained.

I didn’t miss the way her eyes lingered on his lips before her thighs squeezed together. She straightened up her posturebefore looking back down at the contract in an attempt to hide a shy smile.

“Mayberefers to what you’d like to try. If you decide against it that’s completely fine too,” Logan clarified.

“So… it’s like a test. And you’ll grade it for me?” she teased, grinning ear to ear and automatically, my scowl deepened as my tongue brushed the inside of my cheek.

Her smile immediately dropped when she realised that we didn’t find that as funny as she’d thought.

She fuckingrolled her eyesas she lazily got up, sighing in annoyance.

“You’re all so uptight,” she murmured. “If I agree to this, you all need to really loosen up,” she almost ordered as she grabbed her bag.

There was no chance she’d agree to being our submissive. I’d bet my fucking money on it. Hell, I’d even bet both Chase and Logan on it too.

“Okay, I’m officially late for dinner.” She turned to Chase and leaned down to peck his cheek.

“I’ll pick you up at nine,” he said and she smiled.

She walked over to Logan, and pecked his cheek as well, but when she pulled back, her cheeks flashed crimson and an underlying tension expanded between them. A bashful smile was threatening to spread across her face but she fought it.

She turned to me and almost immediately froze.

My tone wasn’t meant to be harsh, but by the way her body subconsciously jolted, I could tell it was. “Don’t even think about it.”
