Free Mia's Masters [Locks and Chains 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage and More) by Sara Kingston

burn the toast, we would be eating better than we are right now. Besides, we’ve all seen and even tasted some of the lunches you bring from home and the breakfast this morning. Trust me, we know you’d do a better job than the three of us put together,” Peter said. He’d gathered himself together again after the shock of what she’d said earlier about the boardroom. It took him a moment to remember that over the past year they’d laughed and joked, and he built a strong friendship. She knew about his position in the trio all that time and didn’t care. She liked him for the person he was. She didn’t pass judgments on the way he chose to live his life. Now, more than ever, he wanted this to work. Mia suited them perfectly, and she would complete their family. He could see trepidation in Dylan’s eyes, mixed with a healthy dose of lust and need. He knew Dylan had been hurt badly in the past. He’d been used and abused by various partners both female and male on his journey to understand what he needed in a relationship. He had closed himself off from the possibility of adding to their family. He’d told them both that he’d resolved years ago not to let anyone else into his heart other than Mathew and himself, although he knew Dylan also felt something was missing.
    “Okay then, that just leaves sexual service. First off, I want to say that I’m open-minded and have dipped my toe, so to speak, in a few kinky things. I don’t think I’m very good in bed, though. I’ve never had sex with more than one person at a time. From what I’ve heard of the things that go on in your lunchtime sex-a-thons, I’m guessing it’s a group sport,” Mia replied.
    “Group sport, I like that,” Mathew said with a chuckle.
    “I prefer sex-a-thon.”
    “What about a group sex-a-thon?” Mathew said. Peter burst into laughter, and Mathew joined him, which released a bit of the tension in the room and allowed them all to relax a little.
    “While you two characters are having your laughs, I’d like to finalize these negotiations,” Dylan said, trying to cover his own laughter.
    “Sorry, Master,” they both replied at the same time.
    Mia chuckled at their synchronized reply.
    “Do you two call him Master all the time in private, or is it just during sex?” she asked. She couldn’t see any problem calling Dylan Master in the bedroom, but outside of it seemed a bit demeaning to her.
    “Well, little Mia, you don’t get to know the answer to that until you sign the contract,” Dylan replied.
    “So what are the contract terms?” she asked.
    “We’re offering either a three- or six-month term. With the three-month contract, you will receive free room and board. You’ll also get to keep any gifts we buy you.”
    “And the six-month contract?” she asked.
    “The six-month contract is the same as the three-month one. With an additional cash bonus,” Dylan replied.
    “How much of a cash bonus?”
    “Ten thousand dollars.”
    “I get ten grand for signing a six-month contract. What happens if I’m not good enough? Or you guys want me out before the six months?”
    “You still get the ten thousand dollars. Unless we ask you to leave due to gross incompetence.”
    “Gross incompetence? Can you give me an example?”
    “Continually saying no to sex, not cleaning the house, or refusing to cook meals and so forth.”
    “Okay, so not because I’m bad in bed or burned dinner once or twice.”
    “You’ve said a number of times you’re not good in bed. Why do you think that, little Mia?” Dylan asked.

    “Well, Jake was my last lover, and sex between Jake and me was…well, bad mostly. He always blamed me,” she replied, looking down in her lap, embarrassed to admit her failures. She couldn’t let them think she was some kind of sex kitten. They would be disappointed and let her go. It was better for them to understand straight up before they took her on.
    “Sweetheart, it’s not one
