Julian and Xavier turned to me with huge grins on their ridiculously handsome faces. “His name is Pinky?”
“Hername is Pinky,” I insisted.
Elias’ chest shook against me as his laughter spilled out. He kissed the top of my head and swept me up through the front door. “You’re utterly adorable, little mate.”
As we ascended the stairs, I sank into Elias’s embrace. My heart fluttered in my chest, quickly syncing into rhythm with the beat under my palm.
Julian rushed past us as we stepped onto the landing, opening the door to my little oasis.
“You can put me down, Elias.” I scraped my nails along the back of his neck and through a few of the shaggy strands of his dark hair. “Hmm. I think you need a haircut.”
Elias chuckled as he carried me into the bathroom and set me down on the counter next to the sink. He bent low, his hot breath fanning over the nape of my neck. “I think I like it a little long so you can sink your fingers into it while I’m eating that perfect pussy of yours.”
His words made my thighs clench as a hot wave of arousal assaulted me. I’d just come a handful of times in the last hour and I still couldn’t get enough of these guys. I loved running my hands through his hair, even tugging on it a little.
But the memories still remained.
I tucked my chin down and my shoulders slumped.
Elias paused, his hand reaching out and cupping my cheek. “Hey, don’t pull away. I’ll try to cool it on the sexual talk. I can’t help telling you how much I desire you. And not just your body.” His lips brushed over my forehead in the barest of kisses. “Your mind, your heart, your spirit. Everything in you calls to me.”
Tears burned in my eyes as I wrapped my arms around his middle. He returned my embrace and drew my head against his chest. “I would say something right now but I have a feeling you’d tell Xavier, and I’d be in trouble.”
His chest rumbled beneath me as he laughed. “You’re probably right. Knowing him he’s probably in your room with Julian and listening to our conversation.”
“Don’t you dare talk down about yourself, Princess,” Xavier growled. I lifted my head from Elias’s shoulder to peer around at him as he leaned against the doorway.
“That's why I didn’t say it.” Unable to resist the urge, I stuck my tongue out at Xavier.
A rare smile graced his lips. “Next time be ready for the tickle monster. Once you’re more comfortable with us, I’ll give you a nice swat on the behind.” Heat turned his eyes into molten obsidian as his tongue darted out to moisten his lips.
“You guys are horrible.” I giggled as I shook my head. I don’t know how they managed it, but any time I was feeling down or retreated into myself, they managed to bring me back to the present with a smile.
“You know you love us,” Julian said with a wink as he came to stand behind Xavier. “Guys, let’s leave her to get cleaned up. Come downstairs when you’re ready. No rush.”
They filed out of the bathroom, leaving me with a smile to reflect on what Julian just said. Loved them? I know it was a figure of speech, but damn, the word made me rub my chest.
It was too soon for love.
But I knew it could turn into that quickly.
Now, the problem was, I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
CHAPTER11
Simon
Ifocused on gathering the ingredients I needed to make teriyaki chicken and stir-fry, trying to keep my mind from wandering to the woman upstairs that had turned my life upside down.
Not in a bad way. Quite the opposite. She’d been exactly what we all needed and at the perfect time too. We’d been drifting further and further apart. Burying ourselves in work to hide the fact we were discontent with our lives.
Knowing how she’d been treated in the past, we wanted to take things as slowly as possible. Learn her reactions, predict her desires and fulfill every dream.
The nest she created in the spare bedroom upstairs made my chest ache. It was a thing of beauty. All soft fabrics and pillows. Plus objects she’d taken from each of us.
She didn’t think we’d notice the small things go missing. But we did.
And none of us minded one bit.
