He lifts his hand and captures the lone tear that’s escaped my eye. He looks at it with disbelief and… I don’t know, maybe it’s curiosity. “You’re doing it. I see you, Gus. I see your beautiful heart.” I swallow the lump in my throat. “But I don’t know how to show you mine.”

The corners of his mouth quirk up in a blinding smile, my own mirroring his, that’s how infectious his smile is. Then he finally moves, ever so slowly sliding all the way inside me until he’s as deep as possible.

I moan as my body stretches to fit him, and I love how it feels. “You have shown me time and time again, Cia.” The way he says my name makes it sound like a prayer. “I don’t know how I could ever doubt you. That’s on me, though—” His words are transformed into a guttural groan as I tighten my inner muscles around him.

My face must betray how much I dislike when he talks negatively about himself—and I just know that’s where his words were headed—because he clamps his lips together and starts moving inside me. With long, slow strokes he slides in and out.

Our breathing is heavy pants as we move in tandem, and even though I want his lips back on mine, I’m downright craving the way our eyes are locked together. My thoughts are all focused on this beautiful man, and the way he’s giving me more than what I asked for. Or maybe he isn’t giving me more, I guess it’s possible I just wasn’t prepared for how deliciously overwhelming it would feel—and right now I feel like I’m drowning in his love.

“Fuck! Cia!” Gus groans, slamming into me harder and faster. “I can’t… I need to…”

He doesn’t need to finish his sentence, I know because I feel the same way. “Come with me,” I moan.

My hips are moving in perfect synchronicity with his, and with each thrust, I chase the friction on my bundle of nerves, needing it to send me higher. Pleasure is building inside me, making it harder to keep my eyes open. It’s like a tidal wave brewing, and I know it won’t be long until I explode.

“Gus!” I scream his name over and over as I fall over the precipice, coming so hard my eyes are forced closed as my entire body squeezes him.

My fingers dig into his back, my cunt clenches around his cock—forcing him to come with me, and my leg is digging into his hip bone. I’m so deep in the throes of our passion that I barely register Gus being ripped out of my arms.

“What the fuck are you doing to her?”

Although my eyes are open, I have to blink a few times to see what’s going on in front of me.

“Get the fuck off me!”

The angry snarls and shouts sound as though they’re coming from far away, but the scene playing out in front of me assures me it’s happening right here.

“Liam?” I ask, feeling dumbfounded as I watch him punch Gus square in the face. “Liam!” This time I scream, scrambling to my knees, the mushy feeling long gone.

“What did he do to you?” my consort snarls, spittle flying from his mouth.

My entire body is trembling as I look at my men. Liam’s knee is digging into Gus’ stomach, while Kai’s hand is around my cousin’s throat, and he… a sob escapes me when I realize that not only is he bleeding from his nose and lip, his face is getting redder by the second.

“Enough,” I scream.

The longer Kai obstructs his airway, the more resigned Gus looks, and that just about breaks my heart.

“Why was she screaming?” I can’t even make out who’s talking, all I can do is stare at Gus.

“Enough!” I scream again, but they don’t hear me, or maybe they do but choose to ignore me.

The realization that they might ignore me breaks the confused stupor, and before I can stop myself, I leap off the bed. Liam’s back is to me and without thinking, I swipe the machete from his back and kick his knee as hard as I can to get it away from Gus’ stomach.

“I said,” I pause and look at Kai. “That’s enough.”

“Did he hurt you?” my husband asks, his green eyes wild as the ocean during a storm. “Are you okay?”

Shaking my head, I answer, “He didn’t hurt me, but I’m far from okay.” When Kai flexes his hand against Gus’ throat, I realize how poor my word choice was. “Let him fucking go. Now!” I demand, no longer screaming as that doesn’t seem to help.

Kai lets go, and I drag Gus’ head into my lap as he coughs and sputters for air. It’s my turn to ignore the other two while I stroke my cousin’s blonde hair, murmuring soothingly until he’s no longer gasping for breath.

“How dare you?” I ask so softly I’m not sure if they can actually hear me. “What gives you the right to barge into my bedroom like that? And to… to…” Since I have no idea what to say, I gesture at Gus instead.

I feel as though I’ve been split in half. One part of me wants to scream obscenities at Kai and Liam, while the other wants to coo comfortingly to Gus.

What the fuck am I going to do with these three? Now that I have time to gather my thoughts I can’t blame Liam and Kai for acting first and asking questions… well, never. By his actions one night where he wasn’t in the right headspace, Gus has been sowing seeds of distrust, and now he’s reaping the consequences.

I get that… but I shouldn’t have to.
