He glanced at Haina but didn’t say anything. She glared back at him, which made him lift his scarred brow half an inch and a small smile tick at his lip. After several tension-thick moments, Zane exhaled and turned back to me like he and Haina hadn’t just had a mini mental showdown.

“Anyway, I snuck into his room one night. Killed him with a dagger. Fucker didn’t even wake up. And just as I was leaving, in she walks, naked. I guess she was back from her mission early. Had she been armed, she most definitely would have killed me. But I got the element of surprise on her, and the fact that she was unarmed made it easier. I killed her with the dagger, too. But made it look like a suicide.”

“So to anyone who found them, it looked like a murder-suicide,” Jorik said, his—and all of our theories—being confirmed with Zane’s nod.

“That’s really smart,” Haina said.

Zane’s lip lifted on one side. “I’ve been known to make a good decision or two now and again.”

Our girl snorted and snuggled into him deeper, which was surprising given his earlier insinuation that perhaps she had been sleeping with Moord.

But I was the first to have her, and not that I’d been with a ton of virgins in my life, but Haina had definitely never had sex with anyone else before me.

Zane’s fingers mindlessly traversed Haina’s back. He seemed to be taking comfort from her touch and presence just as much as Jorik and I did. She knew when he told us about what Unte did to him that he’d need that bit of grounding. As much as I missed her sitting on my lap and had felt the green tendrils of jealousy threatening to coil around my heart, I was happy enough to share this amazing woman with my brothers. The ache in my heart eased when I saw that Zane was not nearly as haunted by what had happened when he pressed his nose against the top of her head and inhaled.

“Nobody knew I’d killed them. I knew where all the cameras were in the hallways. I avoided them, kept to the shadows and blind spots. Wore gloves and a hoodie. No trace of me was left behind. They ruled it as a murder-suicide, and the investigation was dropped—or at least I’m assuming it was. And that’s when Moord and Kitten were brought in.” His hands shifted from her back to her front and pushed up beneath her T-shirt to find her breasts. She squeaked when Zane twisted her nipples, making my cock jerk.

“Thunder has rumbled a few more times, and there have been smaller flashes of lightning, but they haven’t spooked me like that first time,” Haina said, grinding her hips down on Zane’s growing erection. “I think it’s because I’m here with you guys. You’ve distracted me and comforted me. I’m making new connections with lightning, and they’re not nearly as scary.”

Zane’s hips bucked up. “Just different things that gobumpin the night, right, Kitten?” His brows waggled, which drew a throaty chuckle from our girl.

Haina slid her gaze to me and then Jorik, a small, sly smile curling on her lips. Lips that I was just aching to slide my cock back between. Her brows lifted, asking the question that I was pretty sure we were all thinking.

Her shoulder lifted. “We’re all awake …”

“Can’t think of a better way ride out a storm,” Jorik said, standing up and dropping his boxers to reveal his erection.

“You sure you’re ready for this, Cat?” I asked.

Haina nodded eagerly, sliding her tongue across her bottom lip and looking at us all hungrily before she tugged her T-shirt over her head to reveal her tits with their taut, pink nipples.

I stood up, too, and yanked my underwear down as well.

Haina grinned. “Let’s make a storm something we look forward to, boys,” she said, reaching for me. “Because what else is there to do but keep warm with our bodies?” And at that, she slid her slender fingers around my cock and guided me into her mouth.
