Ash lets go.

Cade smiles when he sees it.

Ash grabs the front of his shirt.

Bad decision.

Cade grabs Ash’s wrist. For one second, I genuinely think they are going to fight or kiss.

Owen’s hand slides around my stomach from behind, his mouth coming close to my ear.

“Do you want me to stop them?”

“No, I don’t.”

His grip tightens.

Cade shoves Ash’s wrist down, and Ash steps into him. The red light cuts both their faces into something harder.

“Touch her again like she belongs to you,” Cade says, “and I break your hand.”

Ash’s mouth barely moves. “You had your fingers on her minutes ago.”

“Exactly my point.”

Owen exhales against my neck. It might be amusement or frustration.

I turn in his hold and kiss him before I have to decide.

That breaks Cade’s focus. Ash turns too, and I feel both men watching as Owen kisses me deeper, one hand coming to the back of my neck without waiting for me to guide it.

The heat gets worse.

Cade reaches me first, his palm sliding beneath my shirt as Ash’s hand lands on my thigh.

They skip negotiation and collide.

Cade kisses the side of my throat while Owen keeps my mouth. Ash’s fingers dig into my thigh hard.

My back hits Owen’s chest. Cade crowds the front while Ash stays at my side, looking furious about the arrangement.

I drag him closer.

His mouth replaces Cade’s at my neck while Cade’s hand moves lower. Owen catches it beside my hip.

Cade turns. “Let go.”

Owen keeps hold. “You’re in my way.”

“Then move.”

Cade bares his teeth.

I slap both hands away. “Figure it out without stopping.”

Cade takes my face and kisses me hard enough to knock me backward into Owen.

Owen catches me, his arm locking around my waist while Ash’s hand finds my thigh again.
