Thank god his brother had a way with words. Grim was better with soothing pats and nodding along.
And he was good with the spanking she was about to get.
Nic moved into Josh’s arms, wrapping herself around him. “Thank you, Sir. I didn’t think about it that way. And you are so not my ex. You’re a good man. You and Grim…you make me want to stay.”
Josh’s head lowered and he kissed their sub, their mouths mingling in a way that made Grim’s cock tighten. His whole body came alive as though recognizing the hard part was over and it was time to play.
“Are you all right now?” Josh asked when he broke off the kiss.
Nic nodded. “Yes, Sir. I’m sorry. I got nervous. Everyone here is beautiful, and I met your friend Harlow and she’s intimidating. I think she might like you.”
Josh snorted. “She absolutely does not. Not in the way you’re implying. We’re only friends. Well, we’re family, but she comes from paranoid stock. I swear if you ever meet her dads, you’ll be able to figure out which one’s sperm created her.”
Grim disagreed. “Nurture is every bit as important as nature.”
“And she had two completely lovely normal parents and one paranoid asshole. Using that name doesn’t mean I don’t love and respect Uncle Chase. He would nod and say that’s a fair assessment. He’s a lot to take, and Harlow got some of that drama in her. Was she rude to you?” Josh asked.
Grim would be shocked. Harlow was one of the kindest women he knew. Though she did have a habit of protecting the people she loved. In brutal ways, sometimes. Harlow was the first woman to show Grim female badasses weren’t some movie myth. Women in his old world were meant to defer to men, to be godly and quiet and never complain. Abby and Olivia had taught him how amazing women could be, but Harlow…well, she scared him sometimes.
Fuck. If Harlow found out something about Nicole she didn’t like, he wouldn’t put it past her to take matters into her own hands, and that could go very wrong.
“She was nice, but I don’t think she liked me,” Nic admitted.
“Like I said, she can be eccentric,” Josh explained. “We’ll spend some time with her while we’re here this weekend, and I promise you’ll come to love her. She’s a wonderful friend.”
Nic nodded though she didn’t look sure.
He needed a moment with Josh. “Baby, settle yourself on the spanking bench. You’ll take thirty for the lying and another thirty for whatever the hell that was when you greeted Josh.”
Her eyes went wide. “But…”
“Or we can try the exotic lube,” he threatened.
Nic moved her ass toward that spanking bench.
“You’re wearing too many clothes,” Josh remarked.
Her eyes flared. “I’m barely wearing anything.”
“And that’s twenty more. You need to think about what shape your ass is going to be in when I fuck it tonight.” Grim moved to her, his hands going to her bare shoulders. He loved how small and curvy she was. She was everything he wanted in a woman. Sweet but strong. He thought he was going to find out exactly how strong she was soon. He gently tilted her head up. “Those clothes are for the club. We’re alone now.”
“Mostly,” Josh added, and he moved in behind their sub.
“Mostly?” Her pretty eyes had gone wide.
Josh pointed to the big mirror. “See that, baby? It’s a two-way mirror. We can’t see who’s on the other side. Maybe no one. Maybe a whole crowd.”
She stared at the mirror. “Watching us?”
“Watching how gorgeous you are. Looking at you and getting hot enough that they probably go and fuck on their own,” Josh explained.
“It can get wild in that room.” Grim smoothed back her hair. “We would love to show you off one day. We enjoy running scenes on the big stages so everyone can see how gorgeous our sub is. And also, Josh likes to show off his abs.”
Before Josh could protest, a glorious grin covered Nicole’s face. “Well, they are pretty nice.”
Josh’s hands ran down her torso and over her barely covered hips. “I’m glad you think I’m pretty, baby. Because I know you’re gorgeous. Did you like the scenes? Did they get you hot? I got so fucking hot setting up our room and imagining what you would look like here.”
“You look like my every fantasy,” Grim admitted. “When I started this, I knew I wanted to end up here with one sub. I know it’s not cool to say, but I only ever dreamed of having one woman.”
“Well, half,” Nic teased.
He wasn’t going to let her think that way. “You are more than enough for both of us. You are the complete package for me and Josh.”
“That’s all I want. To be enough. For you and Josh. For me.” There was an odd pleading in her expression, something that practically begged him to understand.
