“I’ll get Jason to come and see you when he returns, so he can tell you himself that you have nothing to worry about,” Sean says kissing me gently. I nod before walking away from them and heading back to my room as my head spins and my heart races.

I walk out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body to find Jason in my wardrobe. I stop in my tracks, wondering if he knows what occurred downstairs between his brothers and me. Jason turns to place something in the drawer and spots me standing aimlessly behind him.
“Hey, Jazzy. I’ve picked you up some new clothes. If you don’t like anything we can take it back and pick something else,” he says smiling over his shoulder. I chew on my bottom lip as the guilt consumes me. Jason turns to face me with a soft smile. “I’ve spoken to Christian and Sean, I’m not upset Jazzy,” he says walking up to me and pulling me into his arms.
“Really?”
“Come here, angel.” He takes my hand and pulls me onto his lap as he sits on the bench holding me close as I rest my head on his chest.
“I promise you; I am far from upset. In fact, I’m relieved,” he starts as he runs a hand over my bare arm.
“Why?” I ask confused.
“Because it means none of us needs to hide how much we care about you anymore. It’s been the hardest few years waiting for this day to come. We’ve cared about you for so long and now we can finally show you. We can hold you and kiss you and worship you, just as you deserve.”
“This is a lot to get my head around, it doesn’t feel real,” I admit as I look at him. Jason smiles and kisses me gently on the lips.
“I can imagine. Get dressed and the five of us can sit down with some food and talk it all through. Hopefully, we can help put your mind at ease. Maximus is home, and I know he can’t wait to finally hold you,” he says standing up and placing me on my feet. I quickly grab some clothes and head back to the bathroom to get dressed and dry my hair, still feeling a little confused but relieved Jason isn’t angry.

I’m just running the brush through my hair when someone knocks at my bedroom door.
“Come in.”
I watch the door open and Maximus walks in smiling.
“Hey, shorty,” he says grinning as he walks to where I’m standing and pulls me into his arms, before leaning in and kissing me. I instantly melt against him as I wrap my arms around his neck, still unable to believe that after all this time of wanting him to kiss me, he actually is. As he pulls away from me smiling, I can’t hide my own.
“I just wanted a moment with you to myself, as the others have all gotten one,” he winks. “How are you feeling?” he asks running his hand down my face before cupping my cheek.
“Confused, excited, a little overwhelmed and hungry,” I chuckle. I feel Maximus’s thumb stroke across my skin.
“I can imagine.” He leans down and softly presses his lips to mine before looking deep into my eyes. “Come on, the others are all in the sitting room waiting for us. There’s even some food in there as well.” Maximus takes my hand and leads me out of my room and towards the sitting room where we all chatted last night.
As we walk into the room, I see the others sitting around with plates of food. My stomach flutters with anticipation, as to how this is all going to go.
“Breathe shorty, we’ve got you,” Maximus whispers into my ear before kissing my cheek. Christian must hear us because he looks over his shoulder and smiles.
“Sweetheart, sit and eat this, please. You haven’t eaten since you woke up.”
I walk over to the sofas and sit down with Maximus next to me. He passes me a plate from the table which is filled with chicken caesar salad, one of my favourite meals. I thank him and start eating instantly as my nerves settle a little and I realise how hungry I am.
We sit eating as Jason and Christian talk business and Maximus fills me on the guy he’s been training with today. Sean sits on the other side of me and asks about the next production we are putting on at the dance school and when my next exams are. I relax further as it’s like any other meal I’ve had with them all. Nothing ever feels forced when it’s just the five of us, the guys are the only people I have ever truly relaxed around and tonight is no different. I’ve never had to try and be someone I’m not. It’s something that took a little getting used to, even with my mother a simple conversation is forced. We’ve spent more time silently disliking each other than we have talking. But since that first night, the five of us sat on the beach it’s been easy.
I hear Christian clears his throat and I turn my attention to him.
“I hate to rush everyone, but there are a few things we need to discuss before anyone gets called away,” he says as he gives me a soft smile. I have to force myself to swallow the last mouth full of food before I place the now empty plate on the table in front of me.
“I know Jason’s spoken to you and you’re struggling to get your head around the four of us wanting to be with you.”
I nod and look around at the guys. “I don’t understand how this would work, the five of us together,” I admit. Maximus places a hand on my back, and I lean into his touch, thankful for the moral support.
“It works however you want it to work. You don’t have to choose one, two or three of us, you get us all. We want to take care of you and be with you in a romantic, sexual relationship. There doesn’t have to be a schedule or plan we just go with the flow. You’re not obligated to just pick one of us at a time. We are all here for you, no matter what you want or need,” Maximus explains as he runs his hand up and down my back.
