He leans his forehead against mine as we just breathe each other in. “I love you, little nympho. I’ll make sure everything is all right.”
Sighing, I drop my legs. “I believe you, War.”
He searches my eyes. A moment of vulnerability flashes in them.
I press up on my toes and brush my lips against his. “I love you.”
He captures me against him and takes my lips with his. It’s still a battle, but one that leaves both of us victors. He draws away.
“Tomorrow,” he whispers like a promise.
He presses his forehead to mine and my body softens. It’s going to take a while for me to fall asleep without them. Especially since they’re all winding me up.
Caden steps away and helps Nico to his feet. Jack captures the back of my neck and draws me in against him.
“No one will ever love you as much as we do, sweetheart.” There’s a world of love in his eyes and it’s all focused on me.
When I press up, he lowers to meet my kiss. I can’t begin to imagine any other life than one with these guys now. He lingers for a second as we explore each other. When he pulls away, I take a moment to savor his kiss before opening my eyes.
“I’ll figure this out, Harper.” He cups my cheek and I lean into his touch.
“We’ll figure it out. We’re in this together.”
His heart pounds beneath my hands on his chest.
When Jack nods and walks to the door, Caden brushes his hand over my hip as he passes me. Awareness trickles through me, and I really don’t want any of them to go.
“Hey, sunshine.”
I turn to Nico on his crutches. My brow furrows. “Are you going to be able to come tomorrow?”
“I certainly hope so.” He winks and the smile he gives me makes my insides flutter.
“It shouldn’t be an issue.” Eli wraps his arm around my waist from behind, drawing me into him. “If his parents protest, we’ll just kidnap him.”
I lean into Eli’s warmth. Nico’s injury might change some things, but I need him there tomorrow. I want to feel close to all my guys and hold on to them tight before the storm.
Nico cups my cheek and trails his thumb over my jaw. “You’d be surprised how much I can get done while resting.”
Grabbing the front of his shirt, I go up on my toes to try to reach his mouth. Eli tightens his arms around me and my feet lift from the ground.
“It’s good to have friends.” Nico smirks before capturing my lips. His kiss is devastating as usual. I could spend all night reexploring each of them, figuring out how being in love changes us. Or doesn’t. We’re still who we were.
Nico pulls away and Eli lowers me back to the floor. He turns me in his arms and kisses me. I surrender beneath him. I’ll still fight, but right now, I just want to bask in the fact these men love me.
Eli’s kiss softens, and he rests his forehead against mine. “This week, kitten.”
My eyes open to his darkened brown ones. I push my hand into his thick brown hair. “What about this week?”
“I’m claiming Jack’s and my night.” Eli smirks.
My mouth opens, but I close it. I’d almost forgotten about the bet. But remembering how they won makes me press my thighs together against the ache.
“I look forward to it.” My cheeks feel warm.
“We also need to go out on our date.” Nico’s voice makes me turn to look at him. He smirks. “Maybe Sunday night before everything starts snowballing on us.”
“I’d like that, but only if you’re allowed before surgery on Monday.” A little chill races through me. Nico’s having surgery on Monday.
