push her
too hard this first time. But there was a blindfold sitting in front of the mat, proving
that he wasn’t going to be
that
easy. She slipped on the blindfold, sat back on her legs, and laid her palms up on
her bare thighs. Now she waited.

Grant Waters crossed his arms and eyed Wyatt before looking back to Jace. “Kelsey’s in a training session right now.”
“With who?” Jace asked. “Wyatt just needs to talk to her for a few minutes.”
“And Wyatt isn’t a member here,” Grant said, ignoring Jace’s question.
Jace groaned. “Come on, man. I signed him up for a membership a few months ago. You
already have all his information and approved him back then. He just never took advantage
of the gift. And you know I wouldn’t send anyone in who I didn’t trust to follow the
rules. Wyatt knows how this works. He’s the one I learned from.”
Grant hooked his thumbs in his pocket, stared both of them down for a moment more,
then softened his stance. “You’re lucky we’re friends, Austin. Because I would normally
throw out a member for trying to pull this kind of last-minute shit.”
Jace smiled his most winning smile. “Aww, is that your way of telling me you love
me best?”
Grant shook his head. “Poor Evan and Andre. How they put up with your cocky ass is
a wonder.”
“They both happen to love my ass. And I, theirs.”
Grant let out a long, God-give-me-the-strength sigh and cocked his head toward the
big door on the far side of the lobby. “Kelsey’s supposed to be working with Colby.
If he left the viewing window open to the room, you’re welcome to observe. But don’t
interrupt.” He looked to Wyatt, his gaze all business now. “If you want to talk to
her, you wait for the scene to be done.”
Jace clapped Grant on the shoulder. “Thanks, man. ’Preciate it.”
Wyatt shook Grant’s hand and thanked him, but Wyatt could barely get the words out.
They could go watch? Fuck. That.
The thought of seeing Kelsey touch some other guy or worse, having that guy touch
her, had a sick feeling gathering in Wyatt’s stomach. No way would he be able to stand
by for that.
He caught up with his brother as Jace walked through a door that led from the main
lobby into a hushed hallway. The dark maroon walls and soft scone lighting gave Wyatt
the sense of entering into some other realm. He leaned over to his brother, keeping
his voice low. “Jace, I can’t watch her with some other guy. I’ll want to—”
Jace gave him a knowing look. “That bad, huh?”
“Fuck.” Wyatt raked a hand through his hair, the wave of possessiveness more concerning
than anything he’d felt about Kelsey thus far.
“Don’t worry,” Jace said. “I’ll look in first.”
Jace led him down another hallway and up a set of stairs until they ended up in a
corridor lined with doors and windows. Jace walked ahead of him, peeking in and then
waving Wyatt forward. “Come on, the rooms are soundproof, so no one can hear us.”
The first two rooms were empty, the third had two men and a woman in it—one guy fucking
the girl from behind, the other guy fucking him. All their faces were twisted in the
throes of ecstasy, and the lack of sound gave the sense of watching some porn flick
on mute. Wyatt had never considered himself a voyeur, but the scene was kind of hard
to turn away from. All that flesh.
“You all right, brother?” Jace asked as he turned to see what Wyatt was looking at.
He smirked. “Ah, nice. Don’t think too hard on that one, though. I don’t want you
traumatized.”
Wyatt looked back to his brother. “Why would I be— Ah, hell, never mind.”
Jace laughed. “Come on.”
Wyatt’s brother had revealed to him a few months ago that he’d fallen in love with
not just a woman, but his best friend, Andre, too. Wyatt had been happy for Jace even
though he knew a three-person relationship would be a tough journey to walk. And
