The Protector
Sizzling Miami #3
by
Jessie G.
There was a time when Master Saul Alvarez filled his days fighting and his nights teaching willing subs the pleasure of his whip. His compassionate understanding of the masochist mind makes him the most sought after professional sadist in the Miami BDSM community. Neither role invites long term relationships, but he’s comfortable with his solitary existence until he is charged with guarding Durango’s prized whore. One look into those terror filled eyes has him vowing to risk it all to save the beautiful man.
Javier Escardo had been praying for death, but never expected the stone cold killer he got in response. One glimpse into those sinful eyes reveals not only the promise of retribution, but a reason to live. Eight years later, free and mostly sane, Javier is determined to take what belongs to him. Saul’s heart. Through hell and back, through layers of pain and shifting realities, that one truth has remained firm. His protector needs saving and he can’t do it alone.
Hidden beneath the public persona, Kyle Jensen is a man who craves to be invisible without being insignificant. He longs to find a Master who will see his need to be taken over without abusing him and a lover who will care about him beyond the sexual games. It isn’t until he encounters the smoldering combination of Saul and Javier that he realizes it was never supposed to be just one partner at all.
Can two battered hearts be mended by the love of a third? Kyle becomes the light to their darkness, and he’s willing to risk his heart for theirs, but when the past threatens Saul, will Javier’s sacrifice destroy them all?
Author’s Note:
The Protector deals with issues of sexual abuse and forced prostitution. While these acts are not detailed on the page, there are many references to them and the ongoing fight to heal and overcome. This book should not be read by anyone who would be adversely affected by these references.
Instead of listening to me drone on and on about how absolutely awesome I think the new book is, some beta readers put together a list of questions. I hope they give you a little insight into my guys.
Q. Saul, what was your first thought when Javi suggested a third?
A. Sad, but not surprised. After seeing Bull & Red fall in love, it was something he wanted for himself. Our circumstances didn’t allow for courtship or romance, and he deserves both.
Q. Javi, did you suggest a third for Saul or for yourself?
A. For both of us. I knew I wasn’t equipped to save Saul on my own and he very much needed saving.
Q. Saul, it’s been seven years (since you left the BDSM lifestyle), do you miss it?
A. Did I leave it? I put down my whip, not my dominant nature. If you’re asking if I miss inflicting pain on those who find pleasure in it, then the answer is no, not at all.
Q. Kyle, do you miss traveling and the lifestyle you left to be in this relationship?
A. After ten years on my own, I absolutely love having a home, a family and a fulfilling job. That said, there are a lot of beautiful places in the world and I look forward to sharing them with my partners.
Q. Javi, why aren’t you jealous of the time Kyle and Saul spend alone together?
A. I get so much of Saul that it would be selfish to get jealous of the time they spend alone. And Kyle is always asking for time alone with me…I’m kind of a mess, it’s complicated.
Q. Kyle, do you want more one on one time with Javi?
A. Of course, but there is a fine line between asking and pushing too hard. We have a lifetime to work on us, something neither of them believed in before, so I can be patient.
Q. Saul, Wendy wants to know if you’d let either of your pups top you?
A. Sure, if the stars are aligned, the moon is in retrograde & the Jaguars make it to the Superbowl.
Q. Saul, do you look back on the way you handled Javi with kid gloves and think you should have done things differently?
A. Should have? Absolutely. Could have? No, not after everything I saw.
Q. Javi, knowing how Saul felt all these years, could you have done things differently?
A. No. Like I said before, I wasn’t strong enough. Asking what we could have done differently is pointless. Time eased our wounds enough to let Kyle in. If we had met him a year ago, I don’t know that we would have been emotionally ready for everything he gave us. I only hope we give enough in return.
Q. This is for all of you. How do you handle the comments or bigotry of you being in a Triad?
A. Kyle – It’s rare that anyone dares say anything in front of Saul, but sometimes we get the disapproving frown or the raised eyebrows. If I learned nothing else from being in porn, it’s that if anyone has a problem with how I’m living my life, it’s their problem, not mine. I just ignore them, they have no power here.
Saul – Exactly. We handle it by living our lives in a way that makes the three of us happy. Everyone else can go scratch.
Javi – I’m trying to be as casual about it as my partners, but the truth is that kind of judgement hurts. We’re in love. It’s not a crime, not a disease, we’re not hurting anyone or engaging in blatant public displays. If I were braver, I’d probably say, “Live your life and let us live ours.”
Like many readers, the dream of being a writer has been with me a long time. After three decades of trying, I’d begun to doubt. Thanks to social media, I followed my favorite authors hoping to glean some words of wisdom as I pounded out half-formed ideas with alarming regularity. Two repetitive themes emerged: To be a great writer you must read a lot and your butt must be in the chair every day like it’s a job. The more you write, the easier it will be to write and the better you will be at writing. I took that advice to heart and write every day. With two published books and counting, it’s been amazing to have made this dream my reality.
I am a firm believer in marriage equality, love at first sight, power dynamics and happily ever after. I’m a lover of strong secondary characters and series filled with families, biological or chosen. All are themes you’ll find throughout my books.

If he had to look in those concerned eyes one more second he was going to lose his shit and he didn’t even know why. What he needed to do was get the ball rolling on their forty-eight hour fuck-fest. The clock was ticking and he refused to waste another second pondering things best left un-pondered. “So what’s the prize?”
“The prize?” Damn but Javier was cute with his nose wrinkled in confusion. Kyle couldn’t resist leaning in and rubbing his own against it, causing Javier to giggle. There it was again, boy on the cusp of discovery.
“For the winner of tongue tag, there’s got to be a prize.” Kyle pretended to think about it and rocked back against Saul, willing him into the game. “I know!”
Vibrating with anticipation, Javier pressed in close along his front, rubbing their cocks together and begged, “Tell me!”
And to think, Javier had called him adorable. “Winner gets to ride his cock.”
Saul rocked him forward and he could feel Javier automatically respond. Just like that they were one fluid movement, now if only Javier were willing to roll over and offer up his ass they could be one fluid fuck chain. Though he was content to be the bottom, Kyle just knew being the guy in the middle of Saul and Javier…in this position…was going to rock his world. The whole staged ménage to get the right camera angle usually included a test of his dexterity and rarely came with a satisfying orgasm. This right here, the leisurely seductive rocking felt so intimate and….damn! Focus, he needed to focus on the moment and store that thought away for the future.
“Well then what’s the loser get?” Javier asked.
It was the perfect response. Not that he thought either of them was going to be selfish lovers, but it was always good to get confirmation. “Uhm, I guess that depends. I’m thinking some oral gratification would be a good consolation prize. Does he do that?”
“Saul? Why wouldn’t he?” Kyle had known many a top who thought it was beneath them to suck cock; apparently Javier never had that problem. “He’s really good, too.”
Hot damn! Did Saul suck cock the way he kissed, like he had all the time in the world to enjoy it? Kyle was so ready to experience that! “How good?”
“Like…” Javier chewed on his lower lip as he sought the right words. “Like mind numbing, toe curling, shake you apart and leave you begging for more, good.”
“Well now—” Kyle teased when he felt Saul’s smug smile against his nape. “—it’s not that I don’t trust your opinion, baby, but I should really judge that for myself.”
“Always best to experience these things first hand.” Javier nodded seriously. How was he to resist this pair, really?
“Are the two of you going to talk about it all morning or will there be actual tongue tagging soon?” Saul grumbled. “Not that this hasn’t been amusing, but one of you better make a move or I’m leaving you both here to suffer.”
“Suffer?” Kyle scoffed, “We’ll just fuck without you.”
Faster than he could think of why that challenge was such a bad idea, Saul flipped him onto his stomach and pinned him. With Javier squeaking and scurrying back, and Saul giving him his best early morning glare, Kyle could not find a single thing to regret in his statement. In fact, it was all he could do not to pat himself on the back and whoop out an enthusiastic Hell Yes!
“I would’ve thought a smart pup like you wouldn’t need this spelled out for him. My pups don’t fuck without me and back talk like that will make me impose further sanctions,” Saul warned.
Kyle really wanted to push his luck. If not for Javier watching them curiously, he would have aimed for the back talker of the year award.
