Then she shifted, pressing against him. The cleft of her ass rubbed perfectly along his shaft. He stifled a soft moan as he stiffened in response.
When she did it again, he realized she was awake.
He reached around and tweaked one of her nipples. “Good morning,” he whispered.
Kaden was still asleep. She covered Seth’s hand with hers and squeezed, then tipped her head back.
“Good morning,” she whispered. Her gorgeous smile made up his mind for him. Fuck the run. He’d swim later.
“What do you want for breakfast?” she asked.
He rocked his hips against her ass, his cock nicely sliding along her cleft. “You.”
“Make mine double,” Kaden mumbled.
Seth laughed. “I thought you were asleep.”
Kaden stretched, then kissed Leah. “I think we’re going to be spending a lot of time in bed over the next few days.”
Leah softly moaned.
Kaden kissed her again, urged her to sit up. “Why don’t you give Sir a nice wake up while I get my morning helping?”
Leah knelt over Seth and wrapped her lips and fingers around his shaft. He closed his eyes and enjoyed it, vaguely aware of Kaden moving into position behind her. Kaden fucked her, hard, as she sucked Seth’s cock deep into her mouth. Seth tangled his fingers in her hair, and she moaned a little as he thrust his hips against her.
She loved it.
Kaden slowed his strokes. “I don’t think I’m going to let you come this morning, love. I think we’re going to make you wear the butterfly this morning, and then, if you’re very good, at lunchtime maybe we’ll think about giving you some relief.”
She moaned, loudly, around Seth’s cock.
Seth couldn’t stand it. “Butterfly?” he gasped
Kaden smiled and took long, deep strokes into her. “It’s a devious little vibrator I strap onto her. It’s also got a remote control. But it’s not a large dildo like the other one. Drives her crazy because she gets this teasing sensation but not enough to get off on.”
“Fuck!”
“After a few hours of that, she’s begging to do anything to come.”
She moaned again. Seth gave up trying to hold back. It felt too damn good. He grabbed her head and worked his hips in time with her mouth, moaning as she firmly stroked him with her tongue and lips. He closed his eyes and rode his climax until he collapsed, spent, on the bed.
She lifted her head and smiled at him. Kaden started fucking her, hard, moaning as his release hit.
When Kaden caught his breath, he patted her on the ass. “Go get cleaned up, love.”
She went into the bathroom while Kaden walked out of the bedroom. He returned a moment later carrying something.
Seth realized it was the aforementioned butterfly.
When Leah returned, Kaden had her climb up on the bed on her hands and knees, and he hooked her up to the vibrator. He turned it on and she dropped her head to the mattress and moaned.
Kaden slapped her ass. “Go show Sir how a proper slave acts in the morning. Make Me proud.”
She jumped off the bed and ran down the hallway.
Seth shook his head. “Twilight Zone. I’m expecting Rod Serling to jump out of the closet at any minute.” He looked at Kaden and laughed. “You really gonna torture her all day?”
Kaden nodded and climbed back in bed. He grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. “At least until lunch.”
Seth and Kaden watched TV until she returned with their coffee a few minutes later. Kaden used the vibrator’s remote to switch it off.
“Good girl,” Kaden cooed as he accepted his mug. “Now go make us breakfast.”
“Yes, Master.” She leaned in and deeply kissed him. Then she walked around the bed and kissed Seth.
Seth watched her walk out of the bedroom again. Kaden laughed.
“You’re going to wish you’d done this a long time ago.”
Seth’s guilt returned. “Man, do we have to talk about this?”
“Suit yourself.” Kaden had pulled the sheet up to his waist. “I’m just saying, a man can quickly grow used to a sweet, naked love slave serving him breakfast in bed every morning.”
“Is this what you used to do—”
beforekaden’sdying
“—before I was living here?”
“Not every morning. Usually just weekends. A lot of the time I was moving too fast in the morning to spend time playing. Trying to get out the door to the office.” He looked at Seth. “I know you want to get your degree, and that’s fine. What I’m saying is, if you wanted to spend your whole life at home, you could. There’s other shit to do, you know. I’ve got the commercial properties that have to be managed. You could take over doing that, and then you wouldn’t have to pay Ed to do it. Set your own hours. Spend more time with her. Work from home.”
Seth knew Kaden owned quite a few properties, but Seth had never discussed Kaden’s business with him before. He’d never thought it was any of his business and didn’t want to be nosy.
Seth sensed Kaden’s sadness. “I want to work.”
“I know you do. You’ve always been a hard worker, not like that asshole brother-in-law of mine. If I have one regret, it’s that I spent so much time working and not more time with her. You could avoid that mistake. This house is paid for, cars are paid for. There will be life insurance and income from the properties and the trust I’ve set up, the retirement accounts, too. You could spend your life playing with her.”
Seth didn’t want to have this conversation. “Dude, I’m not cut out to be like that.”
“That’s why you’re perfect for her.”
“You’re harshing the mellow,” he tried to joke.
Kaden smiled. “Give it some serious thought. If you go to work though, keep in mind that there’s more to life than work. Don’t ever forget that.”
Seth nodded.
The smell of bacon wafted down the hallway. A few minutes later, Leah appeared, a smile on her face and two plates in her hands. Kaden hit the button on the vibrator control, and she moaned a little when it kicked on but didn’t drop the plates.
He grinned and handed the remote to Seth. “Have some fun.”
* * * *
They did torture Leah most of the morning. By lunch she was rubbing herself against Seth’s leg like a hump-happy terrier anytime he stood still long enough for her to latch on to him.
Kaden laughed. “She knows I won’t let her do that to me. Too much risk of her getting off that way.”
“Ah.” Seth gently pushed Leah away despite her pouty look. “Quit being sneaky.” He slapped her on the ass. She moaned in disappointment, but her eyes twinkled.
After lunch, Kaden appeared in the living room with some rope and a knowing smile. “On the table, love. Now we can really show Seth the ropes.”
She groaned at the pun but smiled and complied.
Kaden removed the vibrator and quickly lashed her to the table. Seth took plenty of pictures and worked the video camera. He had to admit he enjoyed the view.
When she was firmly bound, Kaden stood behind her and gently stroked her ass. “This is a game I like to call ‘Torture the Slave.’” He leaned over and gently flicked her clit with his tongue. She jumped, moaned, and wiggled her ass as much as she could against the ropes.
Kaden smiled. “I think we can invent a new version of ‘Beat the Clock.’ Seth, why don’t you sit on the edge of the couch?” Kaden pushed the table across the floor so Leah’s mouth was perfectly positioned. Seth immediately caught on. He dropped his shorts before sitting in front of her.
Without any prompting, she opened her mouth, trying to reach his now stiff member.
Kaden laughed and swatted her ass again. “Not so fast, love. You need to hear the rules first. You need to put your best effort into making Sir come. If he comes before you do, I stop what I’m doing. So if you want to come, you’d damn well better do it. Then, Sir and I will switch positions. And again, you’
d better not hold back. If you still don’t come before I do, you’ll have to sit here for a little while with the vibrator in and think about why you’re being such a stubborn thing. If you can come before one of us does, and you only have to come once, not for each of us, I’ll let you up.”
Seth struggled, and failed, to contain his laughter. “That doesn’t sound much like punishment.”
Kaden swatted her ass again. “It’s not. She wins either way, don’t you?”
She wiggled her ass at him. “Yes, Master!”
“Wait a minute,” Seth said. “What if she holds back?”
“You haven’t seen all the toys yet,” Kaden said. He leaned over her. “If you hold back, you will get strapped down in bed, and I’ll put not only the biggest butt plug in your ass but I’ll also put the big blue vibrator in you. And you won’t be allowed up until you’ve given us at least ten. Even if you have to lie there all night.”
Seth thought back to his first trip with them to the club and the woman he’d seen strapped to the frame. He’d since learned that was called “forced orgasm” torture. Well, torture depending on how you were looking at it.
Leah moaned and shivered. He strongly suspected it wasn’t from fear.
“Again, dude, I mean, I know I don’t know as much as you do, but that doesn’t sound like torture to me.”
Kaden winked. “Just because she enjoys it doesn’t mean it’s not torture. All right, let’s begin.” He sat at the end of the table and licked her clit.
She moaned and eagerly swallowed Seth’s cock.
No, she wasn’t holding back. If she was, he didn’t care. It was damn good. Seth suspected Kaden was holding back, however, because a few times she moaned in frustration as he stopped or slowed what he was doing.
It only took her ten minutes to get Seth off. When he recovered he carefully moved out of the way and swapped places with Kaden.
Kaden kissed her, then got into position. “Make Me proud, love.”
She went down on him. For a minute, Seth almost forgot what he was supposed to be doing on his end as he watched.
He was closer to understanding now. It was the sexiest thing in the world, watching her do that.
Seth took his time, enjoying the sounds she made as he flicked his tongue across her clit. Taking his cue from Kaden, he backed off several times, not quite bringing her release.
He lifted his head to look down her back at Kaden. When their eyes met, Kaden nodded.
Seth gently sucked on her clit, and she moaned. Her hips twisted as far as they could against the ropes, and Kaden closed his eyes.
“That’s it, sweetheart,” he murmured. “You know what to do.”
When Seth sensed she’d had enough he sat back and gently caressed her hips and thighs, ran his lips up and down her flesh.
Kaden grunted as he came, and they all sat there quietly for a moment. “Very good,” Kaden whispered, stroking her hair. “That was wonderful.”
Seth helped Kaden free her, and she curled up on the couch with them, her head in Kaden’s lap, her feet in Seth’s. In a few minutes, she’d fallen asleep.
Seth smiled. “We wore her out,” he whispered.
Kaden nodded. “Yep.” He looked sad as he stroked her hair. “I was hoping to.”
“Why?”
He shrugged but didn’t look at Seth. “She needs to relax, keep her mind off things.”
Kaden didn’t need to specify what “things” he meant.
* * * *
Seth eventually extricated himself and put up the “toys” they’d used for their activities. He went outside to work on the electrical system. He’d sat down with Kaden and figured out, based on his friend’s design and newly added lights and accessories, what he’d need to add to the existing circuits.
Kaden wanted a complete walk-through winter wonderland, including a setup for the backyard, where they’d hold some of their dinners and parties if the weather was good enough. Some of the areas would be run off extension cords, but some would require buried wiring and dedicated GFI outlets because of their distance from the house.
A few hours later, Seth was outside marking off sections with stakes and string when Leah walked outside, a glass of iced tea in hand. She wore a long T-shirt.
Seth gratefully accepted the tea. “Thanks, sweetie.”
He couldn’t quite interpret the look on her face. “What’s going on?” he asked.
She shook her head, then a smile broke through and she hugged him. “Thank you.”
He kissed the top of her head and left his free arm around her shoulders as he surveyed his progress. “I should be thanking you, babe.”
“No. I mean…everything.” She took a deep breath as her smile faded. “I’ll understand if at the end of a year you’ll want to—”
“Oh, no you don’t. You think you’re getting away from me that easy, think again.”
Her smile returned. “Really?”
He nodded. “Yeah. Really.”
She hugged him, surprising him with her strength. “Thank you,” she whispered. “I love you.”
“I love you, too, babe.” He closed his eyes and inhaled her scent. She’d taken a shower not too long before, and her damp hair smelled freshly shampooed. “Just don’t be upset if I don’t say it a lot in front of him, okay?” he softly said. “I’m not comfortable with that.”
“Okay.”
“And don’t be upset when I don’t spend every night with you two. I’m not going anywhere, but it doesn’t feel right taking time away from him. I want you to focus on him. I’m all right with that.”
“Okay.”
He kissed her again and gently patted her behind. “All right, let me get back to work. Clark Griswold in there has really planned a doozy for this year, and I need to make sure I’ve calculated everything right so we’re not blowing breakers all the time.”
She returned to the house. Seth tried to focus and couldn’t. He’d managed to put before, after, and the mental heartbeat—
kaden’sdying
—out of his mind for a while.
And now it was all back.
He sat in the shade and looked over the yard. He knew, no matter what, he would set up the display again next year. Hopefully in honor of Kaden but most likely in memory of him. And every year after that.
How much longer did they have?
Thanksgiving was just a few weeks away. Was this the last? The last Halloween? Would the three of them celebrate Easter together and watch Fourth of July fireworks in Lemon Bay?
Seth had thought, one day, he might have kids. If he found the right woman. Thankfully he hadn’t had any with the ex-hell-bitches. He could only imagine that shit storm over this latest development.
And Kaden and Leah couldn’t have any.
He would never ask her, as Kaden hadn’t, to go through hell just to have a baby.
But now, the thought that the choice had been made for him, without a chance to try, saddened him in some ways. Or maybe it was his crushing melancholy over his other thoughts, trying to force the phrase “last Christmas” from pounding through his mind.
It felt wrong to step into Kaden’s life, to take over, almost seamlessly, and carry on. He’d spent much of his life wishing he was Kaden, had Kaden’s life and family and money…and yes, his girl. And now, at this most critical of times, he desperately wished he could take Kaden’s place.
So Kaden could live.
It wasn’t fair.
Why couldn’t he, the fuckup, be the one dying? Not the good guy with everything to live for.
The sound of tires on the shell rock driveway caught Seth’s attention. He craned his neck to look. Ed’s car. He didn’t know Ed was coming over today. That explained why Leah wasn’t running around totally nekkid outside.
Well, unless Kaden needed him for something, he’d prefer not to hang around and listen to their conversations. It sucked to be him, but he knew it really had to suck to be Ed, responsible for helping Kaden mak
e the legal arrangements.
Seth had gone back to work when Leah returned a few minutes later. She wore a different T-shirt, tucked into her denim shorts.
“What’s up, babe?” Seth asked.
“I was sent to help you.”
Seth’s gut twisted. That meant Kaden didn’t want her overhearing, confirming his suspicions. “Sure.” He handed her a spool of string. “Follow me and you can help me mark the paths.”
* * * *
An hour later Ed left, waving as he drove down the driveway. Seth and Leah returned the gesture. Kaden soon joined them outside.
He acted normal, not letting anything slip. “When’s dinner, sweetie?”
“Whenever my guys want it.”
Seth’s heart flipped at her statement. She wasn’t just his. He was hers, too.
It felt good.
“How about in an hour?”
“Okay. I’ll go get it started.”
As she walked away, Seth sat in the grass. “Well? Want to spill it now or keep me in knots all night?”
Kaden laughed and sat with him. “Naw, it’s okay. Just more paperwork.”
“I figured you were trying to get rid of her to talk to me. Like you got rid of her to talk to Ed.”
“Think she noticed?”
“Duh. She’s not stupid, dude.”
Kaden shredded a blade of grass in his long fingers. “Just more preparations. I want everything I can get handled now done before the first of December.”
Seth’s heart froze. “Why?”
Kaden noticed his look and laughed. “No, dork. No bad news I haven’t shared already. I want to kick back and totally relax. Enjoy. I want to be able to spend time with you two. Besides, you still have a lot to learn.”
“What about Denise?” Kaden’s sister had called and left Kaden a message on his voice mail the day before.
Kaden shrugged. “That was one of the things I was taking care of today. I redid my will and totally cut her out.”
Seth laughed. “That’s going to piss her off.”
“Yeah, well, I won’t be around to deal with it. I’m sure you can handle her.” He met Seth’s gaze and laughed.
