Filthy and Rich: A Billionaire Menage Romance Box Set

I tore a piece of bread and dipped it in the peppery olive oil before popping it into my mouth. It melted on my tongue, and I closed my eyes, relishing it.
“How was work today?” Cade took a sip of his red wine.
I stopped mid-chew. He’d asked a harmless question, but it seemed so homey. Wasn’t that the question husbands would ask wives after a long day?
I swallowed hard and tried to figure out how to answer without telling them too much. The way Mr. Tarver had treated me stung, and it was an embarrassment I didn’t want to share with Gaines and Cade. “It was, um. It was fine.”
Gaines stopped cutting his filet. “What happened?”
“Nothing.” I gulped my water.
“Something obviously happened.” Cade tucked my hair behind my ear, leaving me no cover from his gaze.
I stared at my plate, the delicious seafood risotto promising me heaven. “Just work stuff. It would be boring to you two.”
“No, it wouldn’t.” Gaines squeezed my shoulder. “You can tell us.”
“I just—” I sighed. “I had a bad day. Mr. Tarver was mad about something, and it sort of spills over into everything else.”
“What was he mad about?” Gaines focused on me until I squirmed.
“Accounts, stuff like that, you know.” I tried to give the brush-off by forking a shrimp and stuffing it into my mouth.
“Our account?” Cade didn’t give up either.
The tomato sauce and Italian spices tasted amazing, and more than anything, I wanted to eat and have a fun conversation. With the way Cade and Gaines tensed, an easy dinner was not happening.
I swallowed and sighed. “Yes. He’s just, I don’t know, worried.”
“About what?” Gaines had a way of looking at me that stripped away any attempt at trying to evade his question.
“He knows we spent last night—” When Gaines face began to darken, I changed course. “I mean, he knows I met with you to talk business. That’s all. But he thinks I’m trying to steal you as clients or something.”
“How did he express this fear?” Cade glowered.
“He came in my office, all in a tizzy, and yelled—”
“He yelled at you?” Gaines narrowed his eyes.
“He’s a yeller, so yeah.” I tried to mumble through the rest. “He yelled and told me if I stole your account that he’d make my life difficult.”
“That son of a bitch.” Cade’s voice, usually so mellow, had a harsh edge to it.
Gaines rubbed my shoulder. “He’s fired, and not the way you are.”
My stomach sank. “No, he’ll shitcan me. Don’t do anything.”
“He can’t treat you like that.” Cade stared at me. “We won’t let him.”
“I can’t lose this job, and there’s no way I could get another one if he blacklisted me, which he will surely do if you pull this account.”
Gaines shook his head. “You aren’t going back there.”
“What?” I cocked my head to the side. “What do you mean?”
“I mean you aren’t working for that firm any longer.”
“I agree.” Cade took a bite of his roasted game hen.
“That’s not an option for me. I need that job.” I looked from one to another, but they began eating dinner as if the matter had been decided. “Hey, are you listening?”
“We are, but it doesn’t make sense for you to go back somewhere that makes you miserable.” Cade took another drink of wine. “Don’t you agree?”
“No, I don’t.” I grabbed my napkin out of my lap and laid it next to my plate. “I didn’t go to law school for four years and work in that hellhole for one more to throw it all away. I have bills, student loans, responsibilities. This is my career we’re talking about.”
“You don’t have to work.” Gaines took my hand. “We’ll take care of you.”
“What?” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “Like a mistress or something?”
Cade coughed. “No, not at all. But we’d rather put you on our payroll than see you spend another day in that place. Right, Gaines?”
“Yes. We’ll provide for you. You don’t have to worry.”
“Provide for me? Do you two hear yourselves?” I rose and pulled my hand away from Gaines. “What is this, 1950? I can provide for myself, something I’ve been doing for a long time. I decide what job I have. I decide when I leave.”
“We didn’t mean it that way.” Cade stood. “Please, let’s just all sit down and talk about it.”
“Talk about it? I met you two yesterday, and all of a sudden you know what’s best for me and think you have the right to tell me what to do with my life?” The sheer absurdity of it hit me and I started to giggle. My laughter caught in my throat when I realized that this little fantasy of the three of us playing house was over. “I’m leaving.”
“Leah, please.” Gaines rose.
“No.” I strode around the table and out into the main dining room. Maybe they had mistresses. Maybe I was just one of many. But I wasn’t a fool, and I wouldn’t let them control me.
I could feel them following behind as I wove between tables, and several of the diners glanced up as we passed. The maître d’ opened the chrome front door for me, and I hurried to the elevator bank.
“Leah, please, slow down.” Cade grabbed my elbow.
“This is all wrong. This whole thing.” I waved at the two of them. “It was a one-night thing. Why are you even with me right now?”
Gaines drew his brows together. “Are you kidding? We told you. Women like you don’t come along every day. It’s been a day, but we know.”
“What do you mean you know? I could be a serial killer, a closet klepto, a hoarder, a coke addict. You don’t know me! Is this a game you two like to play or something? Find someone, make her feel beautiful and wanted, then try to get her under your thumb?” I jabbed the elevator call button so hard my knuckle hurt.
“Game? No.” Cade grabbed me by my upper arms and pushed me until my back hit the wall next to the elevator. “That auction on the brownstones I told you about? We knew within five minutes that we had to acquire them. This tower?” Cade smiled. “I bought it on a handshake deal the first time I set foot in it.”
He leaned closer. No one else stood in the elevator area, but someone could walk up at any moment. He was taking a chance. Cade and Gaines were easily recognizable, especially given the frequent news articles and gossip pieces about them. Cade didn’t seem to care, because he pressed his body against mine, stealing my breath as he eyed my lips.
Gaines leaned against the wall next to me. “Do you know why we’re so successful?”
My anger simmered, but desire began to mix with it. I struggled to catch my breath as Cade began pulling my skirt up. “Why?”
Gaines grinned and ran his hand along my thigh as Cade exposed me inch by inch. “Because we can always spot an undervalued asset.”
The elevator opened and Cade pushed me through the doors. My back hit the wall, and before the doors even closed, Cade pressed his lips to mine. I ran my fingers through his hair, the fire inside me obliterating all the anger, the doubt from only moments ago. Gaines swiped a key card across the control pad, then joined us. Both men kissed my throat, their lips tracing trails of heat down my neck to my chest.
The elevator only traveled a few floors before stopping. The doors opened and Cade pulled me into a short hallway lined with luxurious wood paneling. Gaines swiped the key card on a door ahead, then opened it. Inside, Gaines showed me into an expansive apartment with the same views we’d had in The Everett.
“This is yours?” The décor was in keeping with the modern theme, everything smooth, sleek, and luxe.
“We like to change the view sometimes.” Cade wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me. I held onto his neck as he dotted kisses on my cheek. His cock rubbed against my panties, and my pencil skirt was drawn tight around my hips.
Gaines grabbed my jacket and tossed it onto the nearest sof
a and started stripping as Cade carried me to the left, past a large dining room and kitchen, into a master bedroom. The bed had a black comforter with white pillows, and simple sconces along the wall provided just enough light to see.
Cade stood me on my feet and began to unbutton his shirt. “Strip.”
Gaines walked up behind me and yanked on the hem of my shirt. “Off. Now.”
I lifted my arms, and he pulled my top off, then spun me around. Holding eye contact, he slipped my bra straps from my shoulders. Cade’s fingers made quick work of the clasp, and Gaines slid the black lace off me. Their fingers on me set my blood to a steady boil. They knew how to play me, how to get me hot. I wanted them. I needed them inside me, and that gave them a sense of control over me. How could I show them we were equals in this?
Gaines tweaked my nipples as Cade unzipped my skirt and let it puddle around my heels. I glanced down. Gaines was completely naked, his cock hard against his stomach. Reaching down, I gripped him. His hips jerked forward, and he hissed. I dropped to my knees and showed him who was in control. One long lick from his balls to his tip seemed to accomplish my goal. His hands snaked through my hair, and he groaned as I licked his head like a lollipop.
Pausing, I glanced at Cade. He’d just shed his last sock and stood on my other side, his cock rock hard. I took him in my free hand and pulled until they stood next to each other, their cocks angled toward me. I licked Gaines, then Cade, then back again. Each one had a hand in my hair as I teased and sucked them. My panties stuck to me, the fabric wet. Ripples of pleasure shot through me as I tasted them, each man reacting to my touch with groans and hair pulls.
I took Gaines as far as I could while squeezing Cade’s cock. Gaines thrusted into me, his slick tip pressing against the roof of my mouth as I nodded and ran my tongue along his shaft. I pulled back, sucked his head, then took Cade in my mouth.
“That’s it.” Cade pulled me closer. “Fuck.”
Gaines wrapped his hand around mine and moved my palm up and down his shaft as I licked Cade. Wet, slurpy noises that would have embarrassed me when I was younger only served to turn me on more. I switched back to Gaines, but he pulled me up and threw me on the bed. I bounced once before he crawled on top of me. With a hard yank, he tore my panties off and tossed them onto the floor.
Cade got on his knees at the head of the bed as Gaines flipped me over. Gaines snugged his cock to my entrance and pushed. The soreness from the night before was eclipsed by my pleasure. Cade gripped the back of my head and pulled my mouth down to his cock. He dragged his tip across my lips, and I darted my tongue out for another taste.
Gaines seemed to change his mind and pulled back. The bed shifted. Then his head was between my legs, his palms wrapping around my thighs as he pulled my pussy onto his face.
I gasped at the explosion of tingles that rocketed into my clit as Gaines ran the broad side of his tongue up and down my folds. Cade slid his cock between my lips, the slight taste of salt on my tongue as I began to suck him.
“Fuck yes.” He clutched my hair as I took all of him I could to the back of my throat.
Gaines stabbed his tongue inside me. I jolted, but he only pulled me down tighter to his face. He fastened his mouth around my clit. I found myself licking along Cade’s shaft using the tempo Gaines set. Focusing on Cade became more difficult as the heat intensified in my pussy, Gaines giving me no breaks from his relentless tongue.
I stopped my attentions to Cade when my hips began to seize. He didn’t mind, only fucked my face in long, slow strokes. Gaines sped his tongue faster, and I couldn’t stop the chain reaction of bliss that exploded throughout my body.
I moaned around Cade’s cock as I came, my pussy clenching as Gaines licked and sucked at me. The orgasm rocked my entire body, and I curled my toes. Cade pulled his cock out of my mouth and pressed it to my cheek as I gasped at the overwhelming sense of release. Gaines dug his fingers into my hips and kept his mouth on me until I finally began to come back down. He gave me one more long lick, then crawled out from under me.
Gaines’s tip pressed against my pussy, and with a groan, he sank deep inside me.
I stilled and he ran his palm up my back.
“So tight.” He waited, still caressing my back as my body adjusted to his thick cock.
Only when I began to push back against him did he begin a slow, deep fuck. Cade thrust into my mouth again, the two of them working together to set a rhythm. I sucked Cade and pressed my tongue hard against the underside of his cock.
“Fuck yes, Leah.”
Pleasing him became my biggest turn-on, and I worked his shaft with every trick I had. His abs grew tighter with each swipe of my tongue.
“She’s trying to make me come.”
Gaines pushed harder, his thighs slapping into me with each thrust. “Let’s see what I can do about that.” He leaned over me and reached around to my pussy. When his fingers swiped across my clit, I jerked and lost my rhythm on Cade’s cock.
“Got her.” Cade pulled me onto his cock, forcing it down my throat.
I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think. Cade pressed harder, keeping his cock lodged inside me as Gaines kept pistoning into me. His fingers on my clit were too much, but I couldn’t stop my body from tightening, readying for another mind-destroying release.
Cade pulled back and I sucked in a breath through my nose.
“Get her there.” He pulled me onto his cock again, choking me as Gaines’s fingers sped faster.
Without my breath, I had nothing except the blooming heat between my thighs. Gaines pressed his unforgiving fingers against me. I tried to pull my head away from Cade, but he didn’t release me. I was caught. No escape.
My eyes began to flutter and darkness invaded the edges of my vision.
“Now.” Gaines’s voice was gritty, tight.
Cade pulled back. I took a breath and exploded in a cascade of sparks. Everything was brighter as I came, my pussy convulsing as Gaines thrust deep inside. Cade kept pulsing into my mouth. Then his cock grew even harder. He pulled out. I cried out from my rolling orgasm, and Cade gripped his shaft. Thick spurts of come landed in my mouth, on my chin.
I moaned and swallowed. Gaines gripped my ass hard, then grunted and shoved into me hard and fast.
“Fuck!” He spilled inside me, my pussy still constricting from the aftershocks of my orgasm. I darted my tongue out and licked at the come on Cade’s fat head.
“Goddamn, woman.” He pressed his tip to my lips and I licked him clean.
Gaines sat back, pulling out. Then he spread my ass apart. I could feel his come leaking from me, drizzling down my pussy lips.
“Look at that, prettiest cream pie I ever saw.” The satisfaction in Gaines’ voice made me feel both beautiful and a tad bit filthy—I loved it.
“My facial wasn’t so bad.” Cade took my chin and tipped my face up to him. “God, that’s hot. You okay?”
I was more than okay. “I-I’m perfect.”
“We know.” Cade smiled. “Come on. Let’s clean up.” He scooted off the bed and pulled me to my feet.
I hurried into the bathroom, gorgeous tile shot through with gray streaks covering every surface. Gaines turned on the shower, the jets overhead and along the walls shooting in a steamy haze.
He pulled me inside and Cade followed, swinging the glass door shut behind us. Cade wet his hands and ran them down my face, smoothing away all the evidence of our activities.
Gaines grabbed a bar of soap and lathered it up. The woodsy scent enveloped me and I sighed. Cade pulled me to him, my back against his chest.
“Sorry we don’t have anything girlier.” Gaines started rubbing me down with the lather. “I can have my assistant stock our places with whatever you want, though. Just tell me what soaps and stuff you like.”
I kept my eyes closed, exhaustion overtaking me after the intense session with them. Had I ever been so satisfied in my life? No, definitely not.
“That sounds like you want m
e around more.” I giggled as he swiped his hands down my underarms.
“We do.” Cade began lathering my hair. “We’re serious about you.”
“You don’t even know me. Not really.” Not even the post-sex haze could obscure the fact that I’d only just met them yesterday. No matter what we’d shared, it was still too new for me to put much faith in it.
“We know enough.” Cade ran his hands down to my shoulders and massaged my muscles with his thumbs.
I tried another tack. “You could have any woman you want. I’ve seen the pics of you with models and actresses, you know.”
“Don’t get me wrong.” Gaines knelt and scrubbed my feet. “We’ve had plenty of women.”
I snorted.
“But.” He ran his hands up my thighs. “I’ve never been sure about one before. Not until you. It may seem sudden, but like we said, we just know.”
“Okay, but what is it you know exactly?”
Cade leaned me back so he could rinse my hair. “We know you’re the sort of woman we’d like to see more of. We know that this is more than just a one-off.”
Relief swirled in my stomach. They weren’t asking for anything permanent, though I got the sense Cade was treading a bit more carefully now that I’d shown them I wasn’t going to let them decide my life for me. “So you aren’t going to lock me up in here and make me your sex slave?” Wait. Would that be such a bad thing?
“No.” Gaines kissed my chin. “But I definitely like the sound of that.”
I laughed, enjoying the two men who scrubbed me down until I was so clean I squeaked.
We left the shower and dried off. I started looking around for my clothes. The bed was a rumpled mess, and my clothes lay next to the door.
“Stay.” Cade ran a towel through his dark hair.
“I shouldn’t.” I wanted to, but I couldn’t fall under their spell. If I stayed, there was a good chance I wouldn’t leave in the morning.
“Why not?” Gaines pulled on a pair of boxers.
“I have work tomorrow.”
Cade stopped rubbing his hair. “Don’t go back there. It’s not a—”
“I don’t want to have this argument again.” I sighed and snagged my skirt off the floor. My panties were a total loss.
