Behind the Mask

Chapter 34

Marissa's POV

I had fallen asleep in Silas's arms on the way home and woke the next morning tucked into his arms with North pressed against my back. My hand ached a bit when I stretched. "Sean sent some medicine for you, babygirl," North said, leaning over and grabbing a pill bottle off the nightstand. "He said you might be a bit sore for a day or two. It's just a mild painkiller, non-narcotic."

"Thank you," I said and took the pill with the water he'd handed me. "Sorry I was so much trouble last night.

North pressed a kiss to my forehead, "Ris, you weren't any trouble. We love having you here."

"He's right, agápi," Silas's voice was groggy with sleep, "I sleep better when you're here. Even if it isn't in our bed," he laughed as he reached out and tickled my ribs. I squealed and tried to get away but North blocked my escape and then began tickling me as well. By the time they stopped, I was breathless and flushed. My shirt had ridden up and left me half exposed to them. Silas's eyes darkened as he took in my appearance. He caged me beneath him, "I could get used to waking up with you, agápi mou," his head dipped as he placed kisses along my stomach, "you are the perfect way to wake us up every day." I whimpered when he sucked the skin just below my breast so hard that the skin darkened.

North's hands cradled my head as he bent down to kiss me, murmuring, "Our beautiful girl." I could feel the callouses on both their hands and remembered how Silas told me about them building the house themselves. My back arched as I felt North's fingers pinch my nipple.

Our moment was interrupted when Luke knocked and hollered through the door. "Hey guys, sugar has to get going or she'll be late for her playdate!"

"Cock-blocker!" they both yelled as I giggled. I could hear Luke's laughter from the hallway as he walked away. North rolled off the bed with a groan and held his hand out to me. "Let's get you dressed, Ris," he grinned then pulled my pajama pants down as I gasped. "What?" he said innocently, "You have to get undressed to get dressed."

"Okay, smarty pants, where are my clothes?" I said, stomping my foot. He backed toward the door holding my top and pants. "North, where are my clothes?" I asked again in a warning tone.

He opened the door slightly and smirked, "Down the hall in Gabe's closet. Good luck!" With that, he bolted out the door, roaring with laughter.

"Jerk!" I yelled after him, still hearing his laughter and now listening to Silas snicker behind me. I spun around and pointed my finger at him, "Fine, I'll teach you two." I flipped my hair, held my head up, and walked into the hall. "Hear ye, hear ye, I have been robbed! Would any kind soul like to offer me warm clothes?"

Every damn door opened.

In seconds, Owen was on the landing with a shocked expression. "Marissa, why are you naked in the hallway? Are you okay?"

I cleared my throat, "Yes Owen, I'm fine, however, North thought it funny to strip me and then steal my clothes." I shot North a look and was pleased to see his shock also. "I do believe he thought I would be too shy to strut down the hall in front of all of you. How's that assumption working for you, Daddy?"

His eyes darkened, "That's one, little girl."

I shook my finger at him, "Oh no, Daddy. You didn't play fair. I think that means you are at one, not me." His jaw dropped. I confidently strode down the hall and stood in front of him. I ran my finger down his nose and over his lips, then pushed his chin up. "Make no mistake, North, I love being a sub, but I'm also used to facing rooms full of men who constantly underestimate me in the legal arena. I can play the switch when needed, Daddy."
