Share Us
He doesn’t go easy on me at all. Oh no, he pushes me to see how far I can really go, testing how strong, fast, and agile I am. Two hours later, I collapse onto the grass, breathing heavily with that elated feeling I get after a great workout, the likes of which I haven’t had in a long time.
“Need a hand . . . or some new lungs?” Nico grins down at me.
“Sadistic bastards. All of you,” I retort, even as I groan and sit up, accepting the cold water he hands me. “But damn, that was good. I haven’t worked that hard in too long.”
“Oh, I don’t know. I think you worked pretty hard last night,” Jonas teases, wagging his eyebrows. I throw my water at him, making him laugh as he catches it and takes a big gulp.
Louis is about to respond when a buzz goes off, and all of us turn to the kitchen where D’s laptop sits. Sharing a look, we scramble to our feet and race inside, hoping for the best, for more information to lead us to the next step.
FORTY-EIGHT
We all gather around the laptop as D works through the information, but when he starts to get annoyed with us hanging over his shoulder, Louis barks at us to shower and hydrate. Realising it will be while, I kiss D’s cheek to let him know it’s okay and head back upstairs to shower once more.
I take my time and dress in a comfortable but moveable outfit in case we need to go out, sticking to my jeans, boots, and a jumper before grabbing my jacket and taking it downstairs with me. I hear bickering on the second floor.
“We do not share showers!”
“Then get out!”
“Get your dick away from me! Nova, help!”
Laughing, I shake my head as I head to the bottom floor. Louis is on the phone, shirtless with his workout shorts still on and coated in sweat, looking fucking delicious. His eyes heat and turn hungry as he looks me over, even as he carries on talking without even a hitch in his breath.
The possessive lust in his gaze makes me lick my lips before I turn to D and sit next to him. “Everything okay?”
He nods, typing away. I lean back, letting him work, but he blinks and looks over at me. “I’m sorry. I just get so into—”
“Never apologise.” I lean over and drop a kiss onto his lips. “You want a drink while you work?”
He blinks at me slowly before a wide smile crawls over his face. “Coffee, please.”
“You got it, babe.” I wink as I stand, and when I pass him, he grabs my waist and hauls me back, tugging me down so he can kiss me properly. When I break away, breathing heavily, his eyes are molten. “I forgot to tell you that you look beautiful today,” he purrs and then smacks my ass and goes back to work.
As I start making everyone coffee, Louis hangs up with a disgusted sneer on his lips. “Fucking soldiers and their sticks up their asses,” he mutters as he leans back next to me. “Where are the others?”
“Last I heard, it sounded like Jonas was trying to scare Isaac out of the shower with his dick.” I shrug, and we share a grin as we hear their thundering feet upstairs. “So, the usual.”
“You are too good to us,” he murmurs as I hand him a coffee.
“Don’t forget it. Now go shower,” I order.
His brow arches as he leans in. “Don’t like me all sweaty, baby?”
“Oh, I do,” I purr as I lick a long line up to his ear, tasting his musk. “But if you continue standing there shirtless, I’ll end up fucking you and getting you all distracted.”
“I wouldn’t mind that,” D calls out absentmindedly, making Louis and I chuckle as we break apart.
“Next time,” Louis promises and drags himself away from me. I hear him heading upstairs as I turn back to the coffees, making them to each individual person’s tastes.
“Fucking hell, Nico, get the knife out of his balls!” I hear him snap a moment later. “Behave, all of you. It’s like living with animals. Jonas, stop chasing Isaac with your cock.”
He sounds exasperated, and I giggle as D laughs.
Just as I’m laying out some biscuits and snacks, Nico comes in, wrapping his arms around me from behind and burying his face in my neck. “Save me from the madness.”
“Nope, sorry.” I pat his hands, leaning into him for a moment before dislodging him and handing him a coffee. “But here’s a peace offering.”
He takes it and sips it before his eyes close. When they flutter open, they are blazing as he backs me into the counter. “Fucking perfect.”
