The scary, exciting, wildly enticing and forbidden future.
Tonight was about me, and the three captivating, incredible, all-consuming men who’d come into my life and held on tight.
Tonight was about letting go, diving in, and seeing where I came up for air.
I shivered as the car drove into the night.
Chapter 12
Julia
The manor house was way out in the country, out past the farmlands west of the main capital and through the forest beyond that. We’d driven in silence — calm silent from them, nervously excited silent from me — but when we pulled through the wrought-iron gates and up the curved, landscaped drive to the old stone mansion covered in ivy, I turned excitedly to them.
“This is it?”
“This is it,” Luke said with a glimmer in his eye, his hand dropping to my knee. “At least for tonight. Like I said, the location changes every time.”
The car came to a stop, and I shivered.
“Here, gorgeous,” Victor murmured, handing me a lush, black velvet mask. It was totally different from the cheap plastic ones we’d worn at the Masquerade night before — this one was rich, opulent, and somehow sexier as I ran my hands over it.
Or maybe it was just what I knew wearing it would bring tonight.
We put our masks on as we stepped from the limo and walked up the large stone steps up to the huge wooden front door. Two huge men in black suits blocked our path, but Micah stepped forward.
“Crown, castle, throne of old. Three kings seek to enter this house of gold.”
The men nodded as they stepped to the side.
Whoa.
Victor and Luke, on either side of me, found my hands, taking them in theirs as we stepped through the entryway and into the darkness beyond.
I gasped as we entered the manor. The place was all low light, dark wood, and red velvet — the very walls oozing raw sexuality and the floor practically pulsing with sexual energy.
I shivered.
Other men — all wearing tuxedos and masks like my three princes — moved past us. Some turned, their eyes behind their masks lingering on me in ways that had me blushing and biting my lip.
“Ours,” Micah growled, stepping towards a group of three men who’d lingered a little longer, their eyes sweeping over me.
“She’s spoken for,” he said menacingly, his hands tightening to fists at his sides.
The men nodded wordlessly and moved on.
We moved deeper into the house, and I felt my pulse roaring louder and louder with each step. There were other groups there — foursomes of three gorgeous men in tuxedos with stunningly beautiful women in elegant gowns and cocktail dresses. The masks made the whole thing somehow even sexier, and the fact that I knew the men were all royalty made it even more scandalously hot.
It was like a dirty little secret that burned deep inside, sending tendrils of fire through my body.
Luke passed me a flute of champagne as we stepped into another sumptuously elegant room. A woman with chestnut brown hair sat on a couch, moaning softly as a man in a tux sitting next to her kissed her deeply. On her other side, a second man nuzzled her neck, his hands skimming up her sides before he pulled her from the first man and twisted her head. He kissed her next, harder than the first man, his hands wandering boldly over her breast. Behind the couch, a third man leaned down, pulling her hair back and bringing his lips to her bare shoulder.
Raw heat pulsed through me, and I squeezed my legs together as the tingling feeling teased through my pussy.
The scene in the next room made me gasp. In there, a woman in a black cocktail dress similar to mine sat astride a man’s lap in a big chair. Her dress was pulled up around her waist, the man’s hands wandering her ass and teasing over her black thong. Her hands were between them, and my eyes went wide as I saw the way her arms were pumping.
Behind me, I felt one of my guys move in close. He growled, both he and Victor, teasing kisses up my neck as I watched the couple in the chair. A second man moved next to them, and wordless, she turned and started to pull at his zipper.
My jaw dropped.
Victor, Micah, and Luke had told me exactly what this place was, but watching it here in the flesh was another thing altogether. I gasped as she reached inside and pulled out his thick, rock-hard cock. My eyes wide, my breath hovering on my lips and Victor’s hands sliding up my sides, I watched as she leaned forward and wrapped her pouty lips around his cock.
It was the third man, moving to her other side and pulling his own cock out that sent a tremor through me. She turned, a hungry moan dripping from her lips as she opened her mouth and slurped him inside. Beneath her, the man whose lap she was straddling pushed her up a little. I watched, almost gasping out loud as he stroked his huge cock. He slipped her panties to the side and eased his head against her glistening pussy. She sat down on him, taking every inch of him and crying out as she sucked at the other man’s cock.
I was soaked.
I was buzzing with energy, and as I felt Micah and Luke move in around me, lips and fingers stroking my skin, I knew why I was here.
…I wanted this.
I wanted to experience this, and jump into the deep end.
I wanted them, and I wanted it all with them.
I turned my head, and before they could say anything, I grabbed Micah by the collar and yanked his mouth to mine. He growled into the kiss, his tongue seeking entrance as he pulled me against him. I turned, falling into Victor and doing the same to him. His hands grabbed my ass, grinding his thick erection into my belly as he tugged at the hem of my dress.
Luke was next, cupping my jaw and kissing me hungrily.
“Tonight is whatever you want it to be, beautiful,” he murmured.
“I want it all,” I gasped quietly.
“Soon,” Micah purred into my ear. “There’s more first.”
They started to pull me into another room, when suddenly, something flashed at me from my peripheral vision.
I yanked my head around, my pulse skipping a beat as I watch the brunette disappear around a corner.
No. Freaking. Way.
I wanted to say I was of course mistaken, and that there was no damn way I’d just seen who I thought I’d seen. But there are some people you know so well that even a mask won’t hide who they are when you see them in a place like that.
And I was ninety-nine percent sure I’d just seen my cousin Anya disappear around the corner of the Triple Crown Club.
“I’ll be right back,” I said absently, pulling away from my men.
“Wait,” Luke pulled me back by the wrist.
“I just need to—”
His smile stopped me. “I don’t mean wait like you’re not allowed to go anywhere, Julia.” He shook his head. “I’d like to say you’re mine — that you’re ours — but you’re not our property. You can go where you please here, but before you do…”
