Oh.
She seemed to have relaxed further. Is that why Salem kept asking him questions? Was the mundane, everyday talk helping her relax?
“What are you doing today?” he asked.
“I was meant to go in, but I’ve decided to work from home.”
Relief filled him. He’d been worried about her being alone after this. But Salem would take care of her.
And this is why this sort of relationship worked for him. He hadn’t grown up thinking he would ever share his woman. Fuck. He’d always been possessive of his stuff because he’d had so little that was his growing up.
But being possessive of Tamsyn wasn’t what was good for her. What was best for her was having one of them here to look after her needs.
He wasn’t sure he would be able to go to work if he knew she was on her own.
“That’s good,” he said. “Because I think Roman has a meeting at headquarters too. Is it all right if I touch her?”
“Of course. Pet, Alexei is worried about you so he’s going to touch you.”
He ran his hand up and down her back. Despite their best efforts, she didn’t seem to be gaining much weight. They should try harder.
He should try harder.
Maybe it was weird to be kneeling here when one of his best friends was getting their dick sucked.
Ask him if he cared, though?
He didn’t.
All he cared about was her. Fuck, she had him wrapped around her little finger.
He couldn’t let her know, though. He glanced up at Salem who was watching him closely. The other man just nodded at him. There was a look of understanding in Salem’s face.
Yeah, if anyone got Alexei’s feelings for Tamsyn, it would be Salem.
Even more than Roman.
He wasn’t sure how long they all sat there, but eventually, Salem’s breathing grew faster.
Ah.
Shit.
He wasn’t sure that he wanted his face to be this close to his friend’s dick when he came.
Or maybe you’re just jealous that you want to come in her mouth instead.
Perhaps.
He wasn’t above admitting that. To himself at least.
Salem stopped running his fingers through her hair and placed it on the back of her neck.
“Pet, I want you to let go of me now,” Salem said.
She made a noise of dissent.
“Pet,” he said more sternly. “Let go of me now. I’m close to coming and I can’t hold it off any longer.”
She moved back.
“I want you to kneel, Pet,” Salem commanded.
She moved up onto her knees and Salem drew his pajama pants up over his cock. Probably feeling self-conscious about his size.
He was nowhere near as big as Alexei.
“Give me your right hand, Pet. Good girl. Now, your left. Scoot forward and now lift your left leg over my hip. Now your right. That’s it.”
She was now straddling his lap.
“I’m going to remove the blindfold now.”
She shook her head and buried her face in his chest.
Salem reached around and smacked her ass, making her jump.
“Does someone need some discipline?” Salem murmured. “Because you know that I’m in charge right now and not you.”
“I don’t want this to end, though.”
“Pet, if you need to play the entire day, we can do that. You can be Sir’s Pet while I work. But both Alexei and I need to talk to you first and I want to speak to Tamsyn, understand?”
She let out a deep sigh and nodded. Then she sat up and let him take off the eye mask.
Blinking, she looked around for a moment before burying her face in his chest.
Salem placed his hand over the back of her head. “It can be overwhelming for her when she first comes back. You have to watch for sub-drop.”
Alexei nodded. “Let me hold her. I have a way to calm her.”
Salem gave him a curious look but nodded and whispered something in her ear. To Alexei’s relief, she turned and held up her arms to him. He picked her up and cradled her against his chest.
He had one hand on her ass, holding her while the other was wrapped securely around her back.
Then he started to sway as he sang her an old Russian lullaby, he could remember his grandmother singing him.
Bit by bit she relaxed in his arms.
“She likes that,” Salem noted.
Alexei nodded. “I’ve used it before when she’s woken up and couldn’t go back to sleep. Thought it might help in this situation too.”
“A nightmare?”
He hadn’t thought so at the time, but now he wondered.
How many nightmares did she have?
And how often did she hide them from them?
That wasn’t acceptable.
He kissed the top of her head. “She’s still too light.”
“I know. Roman was looking into supplements.”
“I can hear you guys, you know,” she said. “And I don’t need supplements.”
“You’ll take them if Roman decides you need them,” he told her sternly. “I’ll put them in a baby bottle and feed them to you if I have to.”
