“I’m not stopping you,” I whisper back. His body shudders and I feel his cock grow impossibly hard beneath me.

“Soon, baby. So fucking soon,” he grunts before pulling away. I move to stand up but Gage bands an arm around my waist and settles me more comfortably on his lap.

Okay, apparently I’m staying here.

“Argument aside, I really meant what I said. Other than training, we need an exit plan for me so that I can get some freedom back." I lean back on Gage, enjoying the feeling of his body against mine as I look at the other two gorgeous men at the table. Maddox has a heated look in his eyes, and he makes no move to hide his hard dick while watching me with his brother. The amount of fire and lust in his eyes is enough to have me swallowing down a groan.

I drag my eyes away from Maddox and over to Stone. His expression has me damn near choking on my fucking tongue. His eyes arewildwith need. Their bright blue color has changed to a darker hue, the blackness of his pupils blown out. His nostrils are flared and his cheeks pink. Glancing down, I can't see his lap but I do see his fists clenched so tight, his knuckles are white as he stares at me sitting on Gage’s lap.

I can feel the sexual tension at the table and I suddenly don’t know what to do with my body. Holy shit, these men are going to kill me. I feel like I could cum just from their heated stares alone. I swear to everything that is holy, if one of them touched me sexually right now, I would combust upon impact. Like immediate detonation.

“Soon,” Gage whispers as though he knows exactly what I'm feeling. His breath skitters over my ear, making me shiver. “And yes, I agree Nyx should train you. But if you feel uncomfortable with him, or he treats you like that again, Maddox or I will do it, got it?” I nod and he goes on. “The problem isn’t you, it’s the fact that we have so few Los Diablos members we can trust right now, to protect you, or at least keep an eye on you. But I will set up Quan and Raptor to sit outside ofThe Grindwhen one of us cannot be there, so you can go back to work. Your friends can continue to come here whenever you like. All four of us are runners, so whenever you want to run outside, just find one of us and we will go with you. Am I missing anything?”

I appreciate all they are doing and I don’t want to be greedy or take up more of their time, but even those exceptions don’t feel like enough. My parents will be fine as long as I continue to call my mom regularly. She’s been worried but it’s not unlike me to retreat into myself or to be busy so I know she’s not freaking out yet.

Hunter, Olivia, Gianna, and I all talk daily through text and FaceTime. The concession I’m willing to give for now would be volunteering because there is no way I can do that with a protection detail. But—

“Yes, you forgot one thing.Fun. I want to go out and have fun. Oh! I know! Let’s go dancing! We could go toRushtonight! Hunter is working and I’m sure we’re safe in your own business.” I turn my body to face Gage before wrapping my arms around his neck. “Please, please, please.” I jut my lower lip out in my best impression of Gianna. I am not a pouty, beggy kind of woman, but I am going to shrivel and die if I don’t get to leave soon.

Gage grits his teeth and shoots his gaze to his friends, one of their world-famous silent conversations taking place. He turns his irritated gaze back to me before nodding once. I squeal in excitement, tugging him in for a hug. I squeeze his big muscles hard and drop a quick kiss onto his lips. Gage being Gage pulls me in closer and shoves his tongue in, devouring my mouth.

I fight the urge to sink into him and get carried away. I force myself up from his lap, tearing my lips from his before turning to Maddox. I haven’t been the one to initiate intimacy with them yet, not really. I hesitate for a moment before saying fuck it and diving in. Bending down, I circle my arms around his body, hugging him tightly in both gratitude and excitement.

Madd chuckles and yanks me into his lap, just like his brother had. “If I knew taking you dancing would make you so screechy and happy, I would have offered weeks ago.” In response, I drop my mouth to his, letting his lips guide our kiss. I really could spend all day kissing these men. Maddox’s tongue tangles with mine and I pull away slightly so that I can suck on his lower lip and tug on the hoop. I don’t know why it turns me on so much, but it does.

It really fucking does.

He groans and his hands shift, moving towards my breasts. I jerk away and stand before things can get too heated. He protests, making grabby hands in my direction. I grin and dance away from his grasp.

My eyes dart to the other side of the table where Stone sits. His expression is just as it was earlier, only more intense. Before allowing myself to think twice, I quickly make my way over to him and throw my arms around his body.

Maddox and Gage both suck in gasps of air quietly, but I hear them.

“Thank you, Alec, for everything,” I whisper.

I go to pull away but his hands wrap around my waist, surprising all of us I think, as he returns the embrace. His arms are tense and there is a slight tremble to them, but he doesn’t relent in his hold. We stay that way for a few moments and the longer I’m in his arms, the more he relaxes and sinks into it.

The more I sink into it.

My eyes close and I release a contented sigh. He feels so good in my arms. Like, way better than he should. I feel like I could happily stay here, wrapped around each other. It feels almost cathartic. It feels familiar.

I shake the odd thought away. I move to stand, slowly releasing him. He follows suit, though it feels reluctant. I place my hands on his shoulders and turn my head to face his, before pressing a sweet kiss on his cheek. “Thank you,” I whisper once more. I pull away completely and stand.

Stone’s eyes are squeezed tightly and his fists are once again clenched. A band tightens around my heart.

Fuck.

He doesn’t like touch. Did I do too much? Did I hurt him? Did I violate him? The thoughts spiral to the point that I almost feel sick.

But then, he rubs a hand over his cheek, touching the place I kissed almost reverently. His eyes open and he smiles at me. It’s such a warm smile, that it melts my anxiety immediately. I nod once before turning to look at Madd and Gage.

“I’m going upstairs to change and get ready to train with Nyx. What time are we leaving tonight?”

“9,” Gage grunts, rolling his eyes.

“Thanks, babe,” I giggle, making his eyes widen.

I blow them all a cheeky kiss before skipping out of the room, thoroughly impressed with my coercion skills.
