Tamsyn turned back to Hux, and Lowell’s chest clenched painfully. He knew he had a bit of imposter syndrome when it came to his twin, but when it was borne out this way—
Except that after pressing a chaste kiss to his brother’s clean-shaven cheek and whispering something he couldn’t make out, she was turning back to him, covers slipping low so the sheet just covered her rosy nipples.
“Is that for me?” she asked, tipping her chin toward the tray.
“It’s for all of us,” he corrected. “Time to sit up, princess.”
He and Hux both lent a hand to help though she didn’t need either of them, and arranged pillows for her to lean against. The bed linens slipped still lower to reveal her full breasts, and his dick perked when she didn’t tug a blanket up to cover herself. So beautiful, and so free with them.
That done, he reached for the pitcher and glasses he’d brought up, poured water for Hux, and then another glass that he took a draught from himself. When Tamsyn reached for it, he tutted at her.
“I don’t think so, babygirl. You’re going to let me do it. Lean back.”
Protest flashed in her eyes and he could see what Hux meant about her fighting her needs and impulses. Lowell wasn’t the kind of man to tell someone what they wanted—how the fuck was he to know, really?—but he was absolutely the kind of man who would try to suss out people’s desires and then use those to his advantage.
It seemed to him through what Hux had told him and the little time he’d spent with Tamsyn himself that she wanted to be overtaken but that had to be earned. Part of earning that would be to show her that he wasn’t—within reason—going to back down. This was a test of sorts, he thought, whether she was conscious of it or not.
He suspected, too, that her insistence on being a middle and not a little had far more to do with her friend Maddie than it had to do with her own inclinations. She was like Hux that way, being willing to set herself on fire to keep someone else warm and then claiming she liked the feel of the flames. Thank goodness for selfless martyrs, but he wasn’t going to allow anyone he loved to burn themselves down to dull soot.
“Now or I will take you over my knee and spank your bottom, and you won’t be getting the rest of what we’re very eager to give you.”
Her plush lips parted before she pinched them together but she should know he wasn’t going to yield. If Hux wanted to be a soft daddy, he could do it on his own time. After a few tense seconds, Tamsyn sighed and leaned back on the pillows, fingers knit together on her lap.
“There. That’s what I like to see. What a well-behaved, obedient girl. And good girls get rewarded. But first they get fed, and drink some water. We put you through your paces and you’re going to need some nourishment before we do it again.”
He didn’t fail to notice the way her hands twitched in her lap as he put the glass to her lips, the urge to do it herself so strong. But she closed her eyes, took a breath and parted her lips enough for him to trickle the cool water into her mouth and down her throat.
It wasn’t easy for her, that was clear, but he could make it pleasurable enough that she’d feel it was worth feeling off-kilter.
“That’s a good girl,” he told her, brushing a stray strand of hair off her forehead and tucking it behind her ear.
He pressed a kiss tot he hollow just above her jawbone and she made a contented little noise. So pliable and sweet once you proved you wouldn’t be easily moved.
After she’d had a few sips, he took the glass away and had another swallow himself.
“More?”
“Not now, please.”
“Very fine manners,” he said, mindful that Hux had said she was a sucker for praise. “Now you’ll eat.”
He’d put together a plate with grapes and figs and cheese and cashews and dark chocolate, and fed her bits at a time, her dainty little tongue darting out to lick his fingertips, and then playfully nipping at the pads. Fresh little thing. He’d show her what teeth could do and he wouldn’t be so gentle.
Tamsyn didn’t resist drinking when he brought the glass to her mouth again but took a few dutiful sips.
“Do you need anything else or are you okay for now?”
The corners of her mouth curled up in a mischievous smile and she looked between him and Hux who’d been stroking her hair and nibbling at her shoulder.
“I…I need you two. More, please.”
Fuck he needed that too, and arousal flooded his system as he looked her in the eye and told her, “It would be our utmost pleasure.”
