had any air in his lungs to laugh. As it was, he was too excited, too worked up, too fucking ready for this.
“Guess we should give her time to hide. So you wanna work up a game plan, or are we just winging it?” Oscar asked.
“I think we should follow our impulses. Do…what feels right. What feels good. Oscar…” Luca hesitated, and Oscar saw the wealth of emotions written in his expressions. He recognized them for what they were because he’d been feeling the same way.
Oscar reached out and gripped Luca’s shoulder, squeezing it. “I know, man. This is…”
“Perfect,” Luca finished. “The three of us…we’re…”
Oscar sighed and nodded. “Perfect.”
“I just gave your Grand Master the right to marry me to anyone she chooses.”
Oscar grimaced. “Yeah. I’m still trying to get that part of the membership requirements to sink in too.”
“You really are new to the society?”
Oscar sighed. “I know we lied about being part of the Masters’ Admiralty. I fucking hated that, by the way. But nothing else has been a lie. I’ve been a member of the Trinity Masters almost a whole week.”
Luca’s eyes widened.
“We’ll talk more later. Right now,” Oscar glanced over his shoulder, “we have a woman to ravish.”
Luca chuckled, then stepped around Oscar, stealthily sneaking toward the bedroom.
Oscar was hot on his heels, not wanting to miss a second of this action. He figured he could anticipate what most women would do in this situation.
But Selene Tanaka was not most women. She was in a league all to herself, and he was—no, he had fallen head over ass for her.
Luca hadn’t made it one step inside the bedroom before Selene was there, launching herself at him in an all-out tackle.
Luca hadn’t expected the attack, so he fell back into him. The three of them teetered for just a moment, but Selene had come at them with enough force, and there was no defying gravity. They wound up in a heap on the floor, and because he’d been at Luca’s back, Oscar had caught the brunt of it, hitting the floor hard while cushioning the other two.
“Fuck!” He’d landed mostly on his ass, and it hurt like a son of a bitch. Before he had time to reorient himself, Selene was up and racing toward the hotel door. Luca had obviously fared better because he was only two steps behind her, catching her before she could reach the doorknob. Not that she could have escaped anyway. Luca had wisely thrown the chain and the dead bolt.
Oscar rose slowly, gingerly, then followed, his eyes glued to his lovers the entire time.
Luca had Selene pressed firmly against the door, his chest hard against her back.
“Fight all you want. You’re still ours,” Luca murmured in a menacing tone that was completely at odds with the man Oscar had come to know over the past few days.
Oscar stepped beside them, reaching out to grab a handful of Selene’s silky hair. He pulled it roughly, forcing her to look at him.
Her eyes were glazed with desire, the arousal in the room so thick, a knife couldn’t pierce it.
“Carry her to the bedroom,” Oscar said harshly. “We’ll take her there.”
“No!” Selene cried, struggling against Luca’s hold. She almost broke free, but Oscar grabbed her hands as he twisted her, gripping them firmly behind her back.
Selene bent forward quickly, freeing her hands for just a second while nearly headbutting Luca in the process. Fortunately, he’d managed to dodge it, or he’d have ended up with a broken nose. It had definitely been a close call though.
Oscar regained his grip on her wrists with one of his hands, the other wrapping around her shoulders so that he could pull her against his chest. “This one’s a wildcat,” he said to Luca.
Selene was still fighting them roughly, kicking out and catching the side of Luca’s thigh. Damn. She hadn’t joked around about fighting back.
The next time she tried to kick, Luca caught her ankle, and if Oscar hadn’t been holding her, she would have taken a backwards tumble. Once Luca had a secure grip on one leg, it was easier for him to grab the other.
Together, they carried a squirming Selene to the bedroom. Throughout it all, she called them a steady stream of nasty names, promising to cut off valuable parts of their bodies once she got free. The only thing she didn’t say was her safe word.
They dumped her on the bed, both of them ready for her.
