"Esos hijos de puta!" he barks. "I will fucking kill him!"

I keep my face impassive, even as a smile threatens to break loose.

Fuck. At least one thing worked out in our favor today.

“Whydowehaveto do this shit? We’re rich. Can’t we just hire someone?” Maddox whines as he picks up an armchair as though it weighs nothing.

Gage picks up the other club chair and thrusts it at an irritated Nyx. “Because paying someone to do this is not only a waste, but it’s idiotic. You want to invite some random motherfuckers in here to move all of our surveillance and tech equipment?”

Maddox rolls his eyes and grunts but doesn’t disagree as he moves to the elevator, taking the chair downstairs. Gage smirks at me and follows his brother, carrying a box of paperwork.

“You guys really don’t have to do this. I’m fine on the bottom floor,” I protest as I struggle with the throw pillows, the only thing they allowed me to carry. Really, holding them isn’t the problem. The issue is the fact that Maddox haphazardly piled at least 7 into my arms at once. Who would have thought that four gang-banging bachelors would have so many decorative pillows?

Stone comes up behind me, gently pushing me further into the elevator so he can squeeze in behind me. Really, this thing isn’t big enough for us four plus the crap we’re all carrying. I’m only thankful that Nyx hasn’t tried to squeeze his big ass in here with us. He insists on using the stairs, which is stupid considering the heavy chair he’s carrying but if he wants to suffer, who am I to begrudge him?

“Baby girl, for the last time, you’re moving. You’re getting a room that’s actually yours, and you’re going to shut up about it.” Maddox smiles down at me before throwing me a devilish wink. My thighs clench together but I muster all of my annoyance and scowl at him. His chuckle deepens my irritation and doing the only thing I can with my arms full of crap, I stomp on his giant foot.

“What the fuck!” he grunts just as the elevator door opens. Gage and Stone’s laughter follows me as I dart quickly away, giggling at the angry man-bear attempting to chase me. “Get your ass back here!”

“Bite me, asshole!” I screech, dropping the pillows onto the couch and running back into my room. I slide across the shiny wood flooring in my socks and skid to a stop when I hit the bed. Nyx is already there and the irritated look he throws in my direction would be enough to make a weaker man cower. Good thing I’m not a man.

“What the fuck are you doing?” he growls, dropping an empty box onto the ground in front of the dresser. I shrug and smile, as I wait for Maddox to find me.

Everyone got home last night. Their ‘business’ issues requiring them to travel are supposedly done for a while. I’ll believe it when I see it. After that weird situation with Stone yesterday afternoon, I wasn’t sure how today would go with him. I still have no idea what happened but no one has said anything and everyone is just acting normal, so I’ve chosen to ignore it. I suppose if he wanted me to know, he would have told me.

This morning, Maddox woke me up in my bed with a sweet kiss and the promise of coffee and bacon. I gladly joined him in the kitchen, only to come to a grinding halt when I found not just one sexy gangster at the table, but four. To say I almost passed out from the sight is an understatement.

Seeing them all first thing in the morning, in their various states of undress, doing normal tasks like buttering toast, was fucking odd. But it was also hot as hell. Nyx grunted through the conversation, barely dragging his eyes off of his phone. I continually caught Stone staring at me with an odd look on his face, but he was polite, talkative, and smiled at me so it didn’t make me feel weird.

Gage and Maddox were their usual selves. Gage making sure I’m squared away and eating, Maddox being touchy-feely and flirty. It was all so very...normal. We haven’t done anything sexually since that day in the gym, probably because they haven’t been here. But I also can tell they are trying to give me time to adapt to this. I would be a big fat lying liar if I said I wasn’t secretly waiting for one of them,or both of them,to pounce on me. But apparently, I’ll have to be the one to initiate it this time.

I know I’m fifty shades of fucked up from my past, but I have never wanted anyone the way I want these men. Well, I want all three of them. Even Stone is sexy as fuck and his smile could literally melt the sun, but I hardly know the guy. I guess I hardly know any of them. Doesn’t stop me from being constantly horny though.

“What are you looking at?” Nyx barks, pulling me out of my deep thoughts. I blink up at him, realizing I’ve been staring in his general direction this whole time.

“Calm the fuck down, dickweed,” Maddox snaps as he walks into the room and glares at Nyx. Madd turns his gaze on me and a mischievous grin takes over his stupidly perfect face. “You’re going to pay for that, baby girl,” he murmurs, prowling toward me.

I can’t help it, I giggle like a 12-year-old girl as I dive onto the bed, evading him when he attempts to grab me. Maddox chuckles darkly seconds before launching his tall ass self across the bed. His arms fly out as he makes to grab me. I dart out of his reach right before he makes contact. “Fuck,” he grunts, landing hard on the bed, the air whooshing out of him with anoof.

“You’re gonna have to try harder than that, big guy,” I snicker, looking down at his dimpled smile.

“Oh, I’ll fucking catch you and when I do, you’re going to regret running.” Maddox shifts onto all fours, getting into position like a rabid animal about to attack. His grin is huge and infectious and I can’t help but smile back at him. I dance back and forth on my toes, preparing to run the moment he moves.

He licks his lips, pulling his lip ring into his mouth and tugging it between his teeth. The movement instantly drags my gaze down and I can’t help but follow the movement.Why is that so fucking sexy?Momentarily distracted, he uses the diversion to make his move. He flies off the bed in a way that shouldn’t be possible for someone so tall. I squeal loudly as his arms wrap around my waist. He hefts me over his shoulder and locks his arm behind my knees before landing a loudsmackon my ass.

“Oh my god! You did not just spank me!” I scream as I freeze in shock. My arms are planted on his broad, muscled back and I push myself up so I’m not just hanging like a limp noodle. Maddox barks out a laugh and slaps my ass again. It doesn’t hurt, but it makes me jump.

“What did I tell you, baby girl? Told you that you’d pay when I caught you.” I huff out a breath and drop down onto his back, using my new position to repay the favor. My hand lashes out, striking its target with as much force as I can muster from this angle. The big dork doesn’t even wince, just cackles at my failed attempt to cause him pain and misery.

Deciding on a different route of certain pain, I swallow down the evil cackle that is currently making its way up my throat as I gently sneak my hands up to the waist of his gray sweatpants. Hooking my thumbs into the band of his boxer briefs that are peaking out, I prepare myself to yank and gift him the most epic wedgie of his life when Nyxon interrupts.

“If you two are done fucking around, we’ve got shit to do and I’m done being the only one doing it!” Nyx snarls as he kicks the empty box in our direction. I instantly sober, my good mood deflating.

“Seriously, Nyx. You need to chill, bro,” Maddox sighs but reluctantly puts me down anyways.

He slides my body down his in a way that is nothing but intentional. His hard, fit body makes contact with every available inch of mine until my feet reach the floor. He looks down at me, all playfulness gone. The sweet smile that graces his face makes me melt into him. He drops his mouth and kisses me, long and deep. By the time he pulls away, we’re both breathless and I’m a little woozy on my feet.
