Leaning my head against the back of the couch, I close my eyes, knowing that when I wake up the next morning, they’ll still be here, and they’ll still be mine.
Chapter Twenty-Six
Amos
When I wake up the next morning, the den stinks of sweat and sex, but I’ve never felt as content as I do now.
I stretch my arms over my head, glancing at each of my cohorts in turn. Xavier, the dominant who refuses to submit to anyone, then Colin, the eldest who wants to be used repeatedly by two men he barely knows.
With a smile, I get up and walk quietly toward the bathroom, step inside, and close the door behind me. Flipping up the light switch, I smack my lips together before I look at my reflection in the mirror.
My smile widens as I see someone I’m not entirely sure I know looking back at me. Someone who’s braver, who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to take it, and someone who may have finally found what he needed in life.
A lover to take what he knows is his and another to give everything in turn.
The perfect balance in a life that got turned upside down ten years ago, I think with a quiet chuckle as I shake my head, then turn on the sink. I go through my morning routine as usual, scrubbing my teeth, then taking a leak.
Remembering how Xavier disappeared in here the moment he locked us in, I know he must have hidden the key to the den in here somewhere. Quietly snooping around, I check everywhere in the little bathroom until I find it in a prescription bottle, nestled amongst the pills. I replace everything where it should be before turning off the light and stepping back into the den.
Xavier and Colin are still fast asleep, and it makes me smile that the latter is a soft snorer. I don’t know why, but I think the sound coming from him is kind of charming.
I pause for a moment to watch them.
Who would have known that the night before, the three of us had been tangled up in a game of push and pull, of come and swallow, of obedience and surrender?
I let out a happy sigh as I push my hair out of my face, then start to make my way toward the stairs. I could use the shower down here, but I know that upstairs, neither of them will make a move.
Not with Dad and Mom around.
They think that both of their sons are straight-laced and proper boys. Working hard in my instance, and staying out of trouble in Xavier’s. Little do they know that the only thing I ever want to apply myself to so vigorously again, is being Xavier’s dirty, little slut.
I roll my shoulders on the way to the door that leads to upstairs, unlock it and pull it open, then take them up two at a time.

Yawning, I step outside a few hours later and glance around the street. Things look different today; the sun is brighter, the birds are singing a happier melody, the wind doesn’t feel as crisp as it usually does.
In any other situation, I would wonder if this was something like love, but I know better. Xavier doesn’t love anyone except himself, and I don’t want the burden of having to care for someone else’s heart.
I have enough trouble dealing with my own.
Reaching into my jeans pocket, I pull out my damn near crushed pack of cigarettes and shake one out. Casting a glance to the left, I press it between my lips, lighting it quickly, then give Dad a wave when I see him backing out of the driveway.
Funny. I didn’t even hear him come outside, I think as I pull on my cigarette, then let a steady stream of smoke slip through my parted lips.
My father taps the horn lightly on his brand new Cadillac Escalade—the one Mom bought him for keeping her insatiable appetite whet, and I chuckle.
“Nope, don’t need a ride at all, thanks,” I mumble as he heads up the street. There are days where I feel like he’s starting to become more like her with every passing minute. Money seems to be the only thing he cares about lately, but I guess it’s because he’s never had any before.
It’s a new experience for him, and as such, he’s become seduced by its power.
Speaking of seduction, I think as a sly grin takes up half of my face.
“Good morning to you too.”
Xavier chuckles, removes his hand from my ass, then lets out a sigh.
“Working again today?” he asks.
