I rise to the tips of my toes, pressing my palms against his hard pecs. “I move that zipper down a little and I’ll find an angry, hard cock thirsty for my juices, won’t I?” I whisper in his ear before pulling back.
“You’re playing a game you don’t know how to play, little girl.”
“Then teach me, touch me. Just don’t leave me like this…wanting and aching. I need you.” I take a breath, turn my head enough where I can look each of them in the eye and say the truth. “All of you.”
“Silence, woman. Wanting you is the worst possible idea.”
Grant’s words are more gargled hisses through clenched teeth than actual talking, and the bulging tendons in his neck tell me he’s about to snap. But it’s the other bulge that has my attention. Jeans can’t hide that massive hard dick any better than my thumb can hide the sun.
His eyes darken, flashing over me.
My gaze falls to his lips.
“Look at me,” he gruffly commands, and I purr with a little shiver.
I drag my gaze up his bare chest and whimper from the fiery need I see there in his eyes. But I also see anger glitter in those depths, and the fine lines of control he’s exerting over himself ripple through the deeply contoured muscles.
Holy fucking hotness.
I moan quietly, but I know he hears it.
Grant’s nostrils flare, and he growls like a beast edging out all the sensual pleasure I saw there a moment ago.
The room draws uncomfortably quiet. “What the hell just happened. You guys act like you weren’t doing exactly what I wanted.”
When I think my heart can’t take another hit, Linc pushes past us and walks out the screen door, making me jump when it slams shut behind him.
“Go the fuck upstairs, Mercy, and lock the fucking door for the night.”
I can’t move, can’t believe what I am hearing much less convince my feet to obey.
Grant roars and brings his fist down on the marble with a loud thud. “Now, Mercy.”
My eyes go wide when I see a fracture run down the middle of the black and gray marble.
“Grant, Cain—” My voice is a hollow, rasp. I don’t know what they need me to do to make this okay for them, but I’ll try anything.
Grant turns his fiery blue eyes on me, shaking his head. “You have my word this will never happen again. We leave in the morning, honey. Another tour that will take us from here so you can have a normal life.”
I don’t believe what I am hearing. My gaze flashes between Cain’s and Grant’s, confused as the room draws uncomfortably quiet.
Only a single word he said registers.Leaving.
“Don’t go. Stay. For me.” I reach for them, turning to see Linc outside looking in.
“You know we can’t. You’re too innocent and young for what we want.”
Cain turns and comes to stand in front of me. “Please forgive us. We didn’t mean to take advantage of you. One too many beers maybe, but… fuck it. Like Grant said, this will never happen again. You have all three of our promises.”
Grant leans into me and places a tender kiss on my forehead, and it feels like the seal of death. “We shouldn’t have come here. Being alone with you was too damn tempting and we caved.”
With that, both men turn from me, and I watch their retreating backs fade into the darkness, taking my heart with them. That’s the last time I saw them but not the last time my heart shatters into a million jagged pieces.

Mercy, seven years later
“I’m doing this, Mom. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. It’s not like I’m going off-grid forever or running away to some nudist colony off planet.”
