Free Blue (Darkness Falls #3) by Ivory Quinn

songs are driving him crazy, but he’s producing some of his best work. He can’t be far from snapping and going out and grabbing someone, so I’m thinking it’s maybe time to bring out the big guns.”
    “What game with Jax?” Blue interrupted before Storm could say anything.
    “He’s still pining.” Red sighed. “So I’m driving him crazy and he’s getting angry at me and horny at the same time. The hope is that he’ll go out on a revenge fucking binge and get it out of his system. He’s been pretty messed up since Sean broke up with me.”
    “So what are the big guns?” Storm asked. “If the sappy love songs are driving him crazy, what’s going to send him over the edge?”
    “I’m bringing the church into it.” Her smile was wicked. “I wrote a whole song about sex but put it in religious terms. He’s going to freak!”
    “You didn’t!” Storm gaped.
    “I did. I’ll read it to you tomorrow. I don’t have it on my phone.”
    “You can’t just mess with a guy’s feelings like that!” Blue felt outraged on Jax’s behalf.
    “The alternative was to let him fester. Have you seen him lately?” Red shook her head. “He’s grown a beard and he’s only showering once a week. He barely leaves the house any more. I had to do something.”
    “How is it any different to what we do in our dungeons?” Storm sided firmly with Red. “We read people, we take the appropriate action.”
    “Just don’t come crying to me when it all comes crashing down.” He shook his head. “You play a dangerous game.”
    “They’re the ones with the best rewards.” Red leaned her head back against his chest. She barely came up to his chin. “Some things are worth risking it all for. I love him very much as a friend. I just want him to be happy. If he has to hate me in the process, it’s a price I’ll pay.”
    There wasn’t much he could say to that and they travelled the rest of the way in silence. At the Manor, he helped her out of the car and up the steps. The lights were all off except for the ones in the hall and landing and he remembered it was Sunday. They tended not to do late sessions on Sunday evenings.
    “You want a night cap?” Storm headed in the direction of the bar.
    “No thanks.” Noelle smiled a pale, wan smile as she started up the stairs. “I’m exhausted. I’m just going to go to bed.”
    “No you’re not.” Blue was not letting her forget it. There was no way she was backing out of this one.
    “Look, I’ll go for the bath. I’ll even go for some gentle screwing, but I’m just not up to alpha on alpha wild screaming jungle sex tonight.” She frowned and Storm burst out laughing.
    “And they say romance is dead. Sleep well , kiddos.” She disappeared through a door, mocking laughter trailing behind her.
    “Come here.” He scooped Red up and carried her up the rest of the stairs and across the landing to her room. Thomas was reading quietly in one of the armchairs when they entered.
    “Hey.” As soon as Blue put her down, she went to him. “Did you have a good night?”
    “Yes thank you, Mistress. I got a lot of work done.” He smiled. “I’ve had an idea for a new project.”
    “That’s great news.” She squeezed him in a hug. “Do you think you could help me out of my clothes? Blue and I are going to take a bath.”
    “Of course, Mistress.” He grinned and Blue pondered the sub’s expression as he began unhooking his Mistress from the tight, restrictive leather. It was one thing to like something in theory and quite something else to actually see it in person. Thomas said the idea of cuckolding pushed all his buttons in the best kind of way, but how would he react to seeing it? He was of half a mind to ask Noelle to send Thomas to a different room for the night, but he seemed so thrilled. He was still smiling as he removed her boots and skirt and set them aside for cleaning in the morning.
    “Thomas, I’m only going to ask this once and I expect an honest
