Page 9 of Sinful Desires

If her stepfather had figured out her dreams, she would have been locked in her room forever.But thankfully, the daydreams were all hers, the only thing she had of her own, and no one could take them from her.

Just then, the lights flickered and went out.She sat up abruptly with fear taking over.

“Easy, love,” Aiden said.“It’s just the electricity.We knew it would go out.”

“What should we do?”

The men smiled at her.

Malik brushed the hair from her face.“Nothing we can do.Whenever it storms, it goes out.It's part of living the way we do, so we’re used to it.”

“How long have you lived here?”

Malik thought about it for a minute.“About five years, right, Aiden?”

Aiden nodded.“I think that’s about right.This used to be Malik’s uncle’s place, but he gave it to Malik when he passed.At the time, we were overseas.”

“You traveled?”

Malik grunted.“Not the way you’re thinking.We were in the military, and we spent a few years over there.”

He didn’t say where they’d been, and she got the feeling they didn’t want to talk about it.

“So, you came back and made your life here?”

Malik smiled.“Yes, it seemed like the best place, and we’ve been very happy here.”

She smiled at Malik.Happywas a term she didn’t know a lot about.

“Do you miss going to the movies, bars, anywhere guys hang out?”

Aiden shook his head.“No.I can honestly say I don’t care if I ever see any of it again.”

Camila tilted her head.“It’s got to have its drawbacks, like losing the electricity.”

Malik and Aiden shared a look.

Aiden cleared his throat.“The only drawback we’ve learned is that it’s hard to meet women.This might shock you, but Malik and I share.”

“Share?”she asked, confused.

“Women,” Aiden said bluntly.

Her eyes widened.“Women?”

“Yes,” Malik popped into the conversation.“We want a woman to live here with us, have our children, and make a family.”

She sat in stunned silence because she had no idea what to say.She’d never heard of such a thing.

“It happens more than you think.”

She turned back to Aiden.“Seriously?”

“Yeah.There are towns that have popped up all over the US for people in menage relationships.”

“Do you find that offensive?”Aiden asked.

She shook her head at Aiden.She really didn’t know what she thought, but she wasn’t repulsed at all.In fact, the opposite could be true.
