Drew smiled. “You were in bed with us about thirty minutes ago, weren’t you?”
She blushed. She was beautiful and sexy. Still so innocent. “Yes.”
“You belong to us. We belong to you. That means something, Alison. Those weren’t just words. We are men of honor. Our word means something. Hunter and I will take care of your cousin. You aren’t alone anymore.”
There was alarm in her voice. “What are you going to do to him? Are you going to pay him off?”
Hunter scoured the room for his clothes. He threw a shirt at Drew. “He’s not going to bother you. That’s all you need to know.”
“Wait. Please tell me something. Anything,” she pleaded. “Don’t do something stupid. I don’t want either of you to get hurt. Leo is crazy. You can’t trust him.”
Drew leaned to kiss her on the cheek before he and Hunter left. “We’ve got you. We’ve got this. Try to get some sleep. We can handle him. Stop worrying.”
“Sleep? You expect me to sleep?” Her eyes darted back and forth. “There’s no way I can close my eyes.”
“Work?” he suggested.
She bit her lip. “Maybe. I can try. I do have to get to the office. I have another Soar meeting.”
“Good. Focus on that today. We’ll meet you there. And stop worrying.”
If he could, he’d stay in bed with her all day and kiss away the fear that was in her eyes, but there was a way to make sure the fear never returned. And for that, he and Hunter were going to have to deal with Leo Rossi.
Thirty-Five
Alison
They were gone. Alison blinked at the door. It could have gone worse—much worse. The way Drew and Hunter handled the news impressed her. There was no end to how amazing they were. She knew as long as she lived, she’d never meet anyone else like them.
There was no point in sitting around her room, worrying about what was ahead of them. Alison hopped from the bed and walked to the master suite. She started the hot water in the shower. At least if she were in her office she could be distracted by Soar. She’d rather listen to Maureen ramble on about her dating life than sit alone and worry about what could happen when Drew and Hunter faced Leo.
She had never expected them to take on her problems. As she stepped in the shower she wondered if knights in armor were a real thing. Were Drew and Hunter her knights? It didn’t seem possible they could forgive her after what she had done.
But they had rushed off to fix everything.
The water ran over her shoulders and down her back. On top of everything, she had shared something with them this morning she never imagined she could experience. They had both been inside her at the same time. She wrapped her arms around her body trying to hold on to that feeling.
What it felt like to be totally possessed. To be filled beyond her dreams.
Leo couldn’t take that away from her. Leo didn’t control her destiny anymore. She turned off the water, watching the last bubbles slide down the drain and disappear.
Alison reached for a towel, wrapping it around her chest. She loved Hunter and Drew for what they wanted to do, but this was her mess. She had to clean it up. She couldn’t stand by while they faced Leo. She had to do something.
She got dressed and grabbed her keys.
Alison squared her shoulders as she faced the Rossi compound. She had prayed she would never set foot inside this place again, but she couldn’t run from her problems. And she couldn’t send her knights in to rectify something she had done. She needed to be the one to face the demons of her past.
She took each of the stone steps with confidence. This wasn’t like the last time she was here. No one would ever drag her out and stuff her in a trunk again. She had the love and support of the two most incredible men. They had given her the strength to face this. Because of them, she had to do this. She loved them enough to put herself here again—the last place she ever wanted to be.
Hunter’s sports car was parked in front. As she climbed the front porch steps she could hear loud voices from the other side of the door. Panic shot through her. Hunter and Drew were irate.
She didn’t hesitate. Alison burst inside, landing in the middle of their circle. Their eyes darted toward her. She suddenly felt like she was surrounded by a pack of lions. Luckily, two of them were hers.
“What are you doing here?” Hunter asked. His face was stern. Drew was as determined as his friend. He made a protective stance toward her.
“Alison, you don’t need to be here.” He shook his head.
She stepped forward, locking eyes with her cousin. “Yes, I do. Leo has no right to do any of this. I can take care of my family problems. It’s what I should have said this morning.”
