Watch Me - Page 77

Maybe it’s because she’s vulnerable right now, but the other women weren’t like this. They definitely didn’t get fucked from the time they got up until they went to sleep. And if they had, they would have complained about it.

But not Madison.

Work starts again tomorrow, and that means back to the real world.

“How do you feel about work tomorrow?” I ask Madison.

She puts her fork on the edge of her plate. “I should be fine. It’s mostly desk work, and if I get worn out?—‍”

“You’ll come down here and nap,” I insist.

She nods as she picks up her fork and spears a piece of sausage.

“You won’t leave the top floor except to get groceries.” I meet the others’ eyes in turn, and they each nod subtly in agreement.

She shrugs. “I don’t have any reason to go downstairs unless one of you tells me to.”

“You need to heal, and we don’t need to start rumors about one of us choking you.” I arch my eyebrow.

She touches her neck. “But you didn’t?—‍”

“We moved you in a week early. There will be talk. It’s best if you lie low until your bruising fades.”

The rumors after Rachel left were awful. Some said we drove her out. Others thought we got rough with her. There were more rumors than truth flying around downstairs.

“That’s fine.” She chews a bite thoughtfully. “Can I have Hope up sometime this week?”

I check with the others. “It shouldn’t be a problem. You can entertain her in your suite.”

She smiles at me. “You guys intimidate her, so yeah, we’ll hide in my living room.”

I nod curtly. Hope Williams has been with us for a while. She’d make an excellent assistant if we didn’t have the qualifier on it. It’s not like we couldn’t find a woman to sleep with and have an assistant too.

It just seems more convenient to do it this way. To have an all-in-one solution. We can discuss anything with our assistant present, but not always with a lover or lovers present. Not to mention having multiple women in our space hasn’t always worked out well. Coop had a girlfriend that almost tore us all apart. Girlfriends don’t like the time we spend together.

Besides, Madison is perfect for us. She’s curious and submissive but intelligent and warm.

“I think we should sleep in our own beds tonight,” I announce when we’ve almost finished our dinner, ending a conversation about zombie movies and shows.

Madison’s eyes dart to me and then to each of the guys. “Did I do something wrong?”

I take her hand. “You need rest and recovery. Not someone jabbing you with their cock during the night.”

She glances down at our joined hands. She straightens and smiles. “Of course. Whatever you need.”

My brow furrows at that, but that’s exactly the way she should act if this goes forward. This is what we want: a compliant assistant to help organize and work for us, plus someone to satisfy our carnal needs. Both of which Madison embodies beautifully.

“We should watch a movie tonight.” Coop glances at everyone around the table.

We’ll never all agree on a movie. But it’s worth a shot.

I glance at my clock. One o’clock in the morning and I’m wide awake. Fucking Seth and his rules. I kick off the sheets and tug on some boxers before heading out to the kitchen.
