I just stare at her.

“Take the leash, Ark,” JD prods.

I wait for her to say something, but she stays quiet. Moments pass. I can hear my heartbeat as I try to think of the consequences of going all in like this. But they are too far away at the moment. Right now all I see are her eyes. Her tits rubbing against my crotch. Her soft mouth curved around the leather.

She places her hands palm down on my thighs, their warmth radiating deep down into my own skin, and she tips her head up even higher. Urging me to take her leash and command her.

“I won’t hurt you,” I say. “I’m not going to play that game.”

“That’s what I’m for,” JD says from the couch. When I look over at him, he’s busy jerking off. His hand is wrapped tightly around his cock, and he’s pumping at a good clip as he watches us. “Don’t worry, Ark. She likes it both ways.”

I am even more turned on by his words than I am by her nakedness. So I look down at JD’s offering and take the leash from her mouth. “You’re mine.” She nods.

“She’s ours,” JD corrects. “Ours.”

I look at him. “OK.”

JD gets up off the couch and walks the few paces over to us. He kneels down, one hand on his dick, the other on the back of Blue’s neck. And he leans into her ear to say, “Take his cock in your mouth, darling.” And then his hand wraps around my dick and he tugs on me. I’m so surprised, I don’t react right away. My cock is so unused to the feeling of another man’s hand on it. I moan.

I’m just about to rip into JD for touching me like that when Blue’s mouth covers my head and begins to suck. JD pumps me as her tongue twirls around my tip. I lean back into the chair, extending my legs out more, pushing myself into Blue. And then JD lets go and begins to take off his clothes. I’m still trying to figure out what’s going on when his shirt goes over his head, revealing his well-muscled chest and the shadows that play along the length of his stomach, outlining his six-pack.

I open my mouth to ask him what the fuck he’s doing, but before I can, he fists Blue’s hair and pushes her head down onto my cock. She takes me into her throat, just like she did JD a few moments ago.

And I lose my train of thought. The next thing I know, JD’s dick is swinging up near Blue’s cheek. She turns her head, grabs him with a greedy fist, and then shoves his head up to her mouth, letting me fall out a little bit. She pumps us both, her mouth eager to try to fit every bit of cock she can inside it. JD moves close. He’s standing over me, my thigh between his legs, his balls bouncing against the sensitive skin near my cock. “Climb on him, Blue,” he says in a deep throaty voice I’ve never heard before. “Sit on his dick, baby.”

Blue looks at me as she rises. Her leg comes over mine and her knee settles on the chair, next to my hip.

“Keep filming,” JD says, pointing a camera down at me.

I’d totally forgotten about the camera in my hand, but now that I remember, I need every moment of this on film. I need to be able to watch this over and over and over again once we’re done.

Blue drapes another leg over me, positioning the entrance of her pussy over my tip. I reach up and knead my fingers through her long blonde hair and pull her face close to mine until we bump our heads. “You sure about this, Blue?”

She looks down at me, meeting my gaze. And then she nods. “I am,” she says in a soft whisper. “I’ve never been so sure of something in all my life. I want you both. I’ll do anything to have you.”

I can feel a sigh escape from Ark. His chest falls with it and so do his eyes. He’s thinking, Should I do this? He’s asking himself what the consequences will be.

JD and I have discussed it all day. And we both knew Ark would not automatically be on board. Even sitting here, my pussy positioned over the tip of his cock, he’s not ready to say yes.

“I want you, Ark,” I tell him softly. “I want you and I don’t want you to change for me. I want what you’re offering.”

His eyes dart up and seek me out. That is what he wants to hear. Needs to hear. That his desires are legitimate. That maybe love can grow out of the sex, if we all get what we need. JD wants to make me submit. I want to feel the pain of pleasure. Ark wants to control.

It works. It will work, I know it.

“Please, Ark,” I beg. “Take me the way you want me.”

He looks up at JD now, this time taking a deep inhale. “I don’t know, dude.”

JD places his warm hands on my chilled shoulders and squeezes. “What’s to object to? I like it my way. You like it your way. She likes it both ways. We got sex, and lust, and maybe even love. What’s confusing about it?”

Ark squints his eyes with disapproval at JD’s words. “You’re my best friend. You’re my business partner. You’re my roommate. And now you want to be my lover?”

JD shrugs. “So?”

Ark pushes me off him, sending me into JD’s arms, and then he pulls up his pants and walks towards his bedroom.

“Hey, asshole!” JD jogs after him, catching him by the shirt. Ark pushes him off, and they stand there, chest to chest, like men do when they feel the need to flex their testosterone.

“Don’t touch me. You think you can just start shit like this and say fuck the consequences? You think you can just play with everyone’s emotions? How far has that gotten you in the past, JD?”
