“I’m going to go grab you some water and a bite to eat.” Rhys walks to the door, resting his hand on the frame and looking back. “Any requests?”
“Just water, mostly. My mouth is dry as fuck,” Adam rasps, smacking his lips together with a disgusted twist of his mouth. “Thanks, man.”
“No worries,” Rhys responds, walking out, flashing a small smile in my direction.
Adam closes his eyes again, his face so ragged and tired I can’t help but reach out and take his hand in mine. Seeing him so out of sorts was so much harder than I anticipated. His fear was palpable and makes me question what all happened to him in his life. Now isn’t the time to bring it up, if I ever even would. He needs rest, not badgering from me.
“Thank you, Lay. I’m so sorry you had to see me that way,” he chokes out, looking away from me shamefully. “It’s fucked up and I never wanted you to witness that side of me.”
“Look at me,” I command softly, squeezing his large hand in mine. Adam shakes his head, refusing to show me the emotions he’s so good at hiding. Climbing into his lap, I place my hands on either side of his face so he has no choice but to look me in the eyes when I talk to him.
“I want every part of you. The good, the bad, and the fucked up. You’ve taken care of me when I was feeling so low I couldn’t even perform basic hygiene.” Leaning forward, I lightly press my lips to his, showing him how much he means to me. “Fucked up shit happened to you just like it did to me. You don’t judge me for the torture I faced, why would I ever judge you for yours? We don’t choose the bad shit that happens to us, we just endure it. I am falling so hard for all of you and that means every side of you.”
“You’re falling for me?” Adam whispers, his voice cracked and hesitant as if he’s afraid of my answer.
“Harder than a comet coming for the dinosaurs,” I joke, bringing a gorgeous smile to his face. “I am in love with you guys which is terrifying to say because I didn’t think I was even capable of love. It should be too soon to know I love you. It’s all moving faster than I thought possible. Yet here I am, in love with three men who by some stroke of luck at least want me around.”
“I’ve never told anyone I loved them,” Adam confesses, laying his head on my shoulder and releasing a shuddering breath. “Maybe I said it to my mother when I was too young to understand what was happening. She fucked me up, though, turned my love into a nightmare, and I vowed to never let myself love anyone, ever. That is until a raven haired beauty punched me in the face for being a complete dick.”
“You deserved it,” I murmur, smiling at the memory despite the agonizing sadness surrounding it.
“I definitely fucking deserved it.” He smiles back, kissing my cheek just shy of the corner of my mouth. “You know, you’re the only one who’s ever pulled me out of a flashback that quickly before.”
“Oh? Does it normally take longer?” I ask, squirming a bit and becoming very aware how undressed we both are.
“Much longer.” Adam’s breathing picks up, his hands moving to sit on my very bare hips. “Lay?”
“Hmm?” I hum, my mind becoming very distracted by the feel of his hot hands on my skin.
“What exactly were you and Rhys up to while I was gone?” Adam’s eyelids droop slightly, his pupils dilating to cover most of the hazel.
My hand cups his jaw, running over the dark, stubbly beard, enjoying the soft scratchiness of it on my skin. Looking down, I breathe deeply as I watch his colourful tattoos move with each muscle tensing and releasing. My other hand traces the designs, my tongue wetting my bottom lip eagerly. What I wouldn’t do to lick every inch of tattooed skin on his body.
“I hope a sandwich is okay!” Rhys calls out, walking into the room and stopping with a surprised face that quickly morphs into a laugh. “I was gone all of two minutes! You couldn’t even wait for me to start.”
My mouth drops open, the images from my shower time fun before my date with Riggs, flashing back through my mind and making me instantly turned on. Adam moans, tossing his head back and tightening his grip on my hips. What Rhys is implying? I want that. Never thought I would care for more than one partner at a time, but I also thought I would never fall in love and here I am.
“Jerk,” I scold Rhys, moving off of Adam and cringing when I see a slight wet spot where my vagina was just pressed against Adam’s light green boxers. Looking back just as quickly, I also take in the large bulge in the same spot and watch transfixed as it twitches.
“Stop, Lay. I swear to god, I’ll lay you over my bed and fuck you senseless right now if you keep it up. I may just pass out during it, though,” he admonishes me, a dirty smirk on his face. “I need food, water, and sleep, so don’t start this right now.”
Snapping my eyes up, I nod in understanding and start reciting the alphabet in my head to keep me from looking back at his member. Rhys and Adam begin chatting beside me, something about a hockey season starting soon. My eyes droop while they talk, the earlier adrenaline wearing off quickly.
“We should get sleepyhead to bed,” Rhys comments, stirring me from my half-asleep state.
“Can we all sleep in the same bed? I don’t want to leave either of you,” I slur, rolling my head onto Adam’s shoulder.
“You got it, Lay. We can stay in my room,” Rhys confirms, picking me up and holding out a hand to Adam. “Riggs is going to be so pissed he missed the snuggle party.”
“Hmm.” I yawn, my eyes fighting to stay awake and losing quickly. “Tomorrow we have a snuggle party again. Riggs included.”
“You got it, babe.” Adam kisses me then lays down in front with Rhys taking the spot behind me. This right here, this is what it feels like when people talk about being in love. It’s feeling safe, nervous, cared for, and like you’re on a thrilling ride all at once. It’s what I’ve been searching for and actively avoiding my entire life. I can see why people write songs and start wars over it. It’s intoxicating.
Chapter Nine
Alayna
Sleeping between two massive, sexy men sounds like a dream come true, and it’s not far off from one. Once we all fell into bed together, I slept better than I have in I don’t even know how long. The one problem I’m encountering that keeps this from being a true dream come true? When two men are pressed against you, holding you and tangling their legs in yours, it’s not easy to get out of bed to empty your goddamn bladder. Holy shit, I may just pee the bed if one of these sexy assholes doesn’t move soon!
