Was it a punishment now? She moaned when Declan stopped to slip his fingers through her soaked folds, one dipping inside her. “I should have come up to your apartment.”
He shifted in his seat, grimacing, and she saw the erection straining against his jeans. She licked her lips. Hungry and shivering with endorphins. “If you had, I could give back a little of what you gave me yesterday.”
Sometimes she couldn’t believe the things that came out of her mouth, but Trick and Declan brought it out in her. With them she was a siren. Shameless and sexy and irresistible. “Don’t you want me to?”
“More than you know.” Declan watched her as he slid his fingers in his mouth, tasting her arousal. He closed his eyes and made a sound of frustration so pained she could feel an answering ache inside her before he turned in his seat and buckled up.
Jen tried to sit up but her wrists were still bound. “What are you doing?”
“I’m taking you home,” he told her as he started the car.
“Your home? Wait. I’m still trapped in this shirt.” She struggled with the knot. “Declan, you can’t drive all the way to your house with me naked in the passenger seat.”
He wasn’t bending. “We’ll take back roads.”
“Declan we—”
“Do you want your ménage? The one Trick’s been promising?”
Jen worried her lip, looking out the window as the scenery started to fly by. What was the Finn motto again? All in or not at all? “Yes.”
Declan pushed a button in the center console and the phone started ringing.
“Hey, I wasn’t expect—”
“Trick?”
“Yes?” Trick said warily.
“I’m on the road to my house. I have Jennifer Finn naked and bound in my passenger seat. Are you busy right now?”
The line was silent for a solid minute, then, “I’m on my way.”
This was really happening. “I need to call Alicia. She’ll be worried when she gets back from the store and I’m not there.”
“Number?” Declan bit out. She gave it to him. “Tell her you’ll be gone all night.”
She did and luckily Alicia didn’t pepper her with questions, like why was she calling from a strange number when she had her phone and why she hadn’t locked the door when she left. Jennifer was glad. She didn’t want Alicia to mention their earlier conversation. Girls’ day was a sacred thing.
After they hung up, the car was heavy with anticipation and sexual tension. She felt vulnerable. She was hot and tingling from the spanking, her arms locked over her head, and the vent was blowing directly on her nipples. She wiggled around, trying to get comfortable.
Declan took one hand from the wheel and covered the mound of her sex. No slapping. No tickling. Just holding it in his hand. It was strangely soothing and arousing at the same time.
“Are we there yet?”
He smirked. “Don’t start or I’ll pull over and we’ll never make it home to Trick.”
Home to Trick. Did he realize how his voice deepened with pleasure when he said that? “Do you live near campus?”
“Not far.”
“Do you have any pets?”
“Miss Finn?”
“I know.” She sighed. “But I’m tied up in a car with no cover and no idea where I’m going, and I realized I don’t even know if you’re the kind of man who likes animals.”
His fingers tightened on her and she shivered. “Is this too fast, Jennifer? Tell me now. Do you want to go back? This doesn’t happen without your full consent and participation.”
“No,” she assured him. “I mean, yes, I am definitely in. I’m just feeling a little…exposed.”
“I see.” He caressed her tenderly, finding and lightly circling her clit without looking away from the road. “I love animals, but I don’t currently have a pet. I travel a lot between semesters.”
“We don’t have any either because Alicia’s allergic,” Jennifer volunteered, watching his hand. “But my brother Owen got Jeremy a puppy about a year ago. They named him Badass. Everyone loves him.”
“Jeremy?”
“Owen’s fiancé. The wedding was supposed to be this month but now it’s Christmas Eve? I can’t believe you don’t know this. It’s all over the news because my other brother Stephen is a senator.”
“That, I knew.” Declan sent her a strange look. “But I don’t usually pay too much attention to local news, I’m sorry. Are your parents okay with the marriage?”
“Are you kidding? My mother has been over the moon since they got together. Dad too. Jeremy is practically family.”
“Practically?”
“He’s been Owen’s best friend since high school. He stayed at our house a lot because…well, his parents didn’t react well when he came out.” Declan didn’t respond to that and she studied his handsome profile. She remembered what Trick had said about Declan’s family. “Was your mother like that when you told her?”
Declan smiled. “She acted like it was perfectly normal until the day she died. When I first worked up the nerve and told her I liked a girl and a guy in school, she praised me for being smart enough to keep my options open. She said it was a sign of an open mind and a creative spirit. She was a bit of a hippie, and she loved art.” Then his smile faded. “My father’s family doesn’t like change, as a rule, and their minds are as closed as they come. I can’t imagine them attending a wedding like that. Not even for a relative.”
