Sawyer smiles as he then stands up, “That sounds great. We’ve got a lot to get on with as it is, so it’s going to be a busy week until we can announce everything. It’s getting late, so we’re going to take off, but we’ll be back tomorrow to go over some more stuff.” He then pauses and looks at me, “Jynx, could I have a quick word before we leave?”
I nod, “Sure, I’ll walk you out.”
“I’ll be out in a second, I'm just going to say goodbye to the guys and help tidy up,” Dax adds, a blatant attempt at giving us privacy.
The guys all give me curious looks, and I shrug. I honestly have no idea what Sawyer could want, but I am curious, which is why I quickly get up to follow him.
“What’s up?” I ask as soon as we’re out in the vast hallway and nearing the front door.
He stops and turns to look at me, slightly uncomfortably, “I just wanted you to know that your mom is now buried and has a gravesite with other fallen Ravens in the woods on the Raven mansion grounds. My mom wanted you to know that you are welcome to visit whenever you’d like.”
I should be feeling something. I know I should. The thing is, I’m not, there’s a slight pang of sadness, but I have no desire to go and visit, at least not yet. When it comes down to it, she was very much a stranger to me. I raised myself and looked after her for so long that I wasn’t exactly close with her. Couple that with the fact that she spent more time off with her latest fling than with me, and I think it might take a while before it hits me that she is never coming back.
She was my mom, but when it came to our relationship, that meant very little.
“Thank you for letting me know,” I reply, and judging from his raised eyebrow, my reply is not what he was expecting, so in order to get this conversation over with as quickly as possible before he thinks I’m any weirder than I am, I add, “thank your mom for me as well, and if she needs anything, please let me know.”
Sawyer nods, and Dax comes out into the hallway, talking loudly to let us know that he’s coming, and Sawyer replies, “Yes, of course.”
Once I’ve said goodbye to them both, I head back into the front room, still somewhat lost in my mind. That is until Mal pulls me into his arms and kisses me senseless, thoroughly distracting me from my wayward thoughts. He holds me tightly against him, his hands clenching tightly on my hips as his mouth devours mine in a kiss that has my pussy clenching and my underwear damp.
When he pulls back, I’m entirely unashamed to say that I try to follow, unwilling to have this welcome distraction over so quickly. It’s only when I hear multiple different chuckles that I’m reminded that my other men surround me, and I concede that maybe we should stop.
Looking up at him, I ask, “Not that I’m complaining in the slightest, but what was that for?”
Mal gently sweeps the hair off of my face and replies, “One, I hadn’t kissed you for far too long, and two, we all tried to talk to you to see what Sawyer had said to you because we’re nosey fuckers, and you completely blanked us.”
My eyes widen slightly, “You did? Shit sorry. He said they’d buried my mom, and I can visit if I want to, and I just keep thinking I should care more.”
Rip shrugs, “I don’t think so. The way you feel is valid, and it doesn’t make you a bad person. It’s just the way it is. I know I wouldn’t be sad if my parents died.”
The others grunt in agreement, and I can’t help but reply, “Yes, but your parents are fucking evil. Mine was mostly just neglectful.”
“No, she wasn’t. She was neglectful and, at the very least, emotionally abusive,” Rome adds firmly.
I nod, he’s right, and there are some other words that I can add on to that as well that would prove him even more correct.
“We’ve had a long day, and it looks like tomorrow isn’t going to be any less busy, so why don’t we all head up, get in our pajamas, and watch a movie? We could do with some relaxing downtime,” Mason suggests.
“I’m definitely up for that,” Rip mutters, moving his neck from side to side as it cracks.
“I need a shower first, I feel like I need to wash off all the shit that’s happened today, and then we can meet in my room?” I suggest, still wrapped in Mal’s arms, and I reluctantly pull away and take his hand instead.
“Actually, yeah, that sounds good to me.” Rip replies, the others nodding as we start to head up the stairs.
“I need to feed my animals as well, and I’ll grab some snacks for us. Your little kitchen up there is getting a bit low on snacks.” Ace adds.
We all split up, and I head up to my room. It’s still my favorite place in the house.
Chapter Three
Iknow it’s most likely an odd thing to say, and I’m most likely one of the only people who think like this, but my room has a specific smell that is unique to my room, and the scent is comforting and just simply makes me happy.
I head straight for my closet and pull out my comfiest sweats and my shirt that has so many holes in it that I should probably throw it away; that won’t happen until it actually falls apart though because it's become a comfort item for me.
Laying out my clean clothes and underwear on my bed, I then head for my bathroom, not bothering to shut the door because, if I’m being entirely honest with myself, I am still feeling the effects of Mal’s kiss, and I’m really hoping that one of my men decides to join me. I’ve just stepped under the spray of the shower when a throat clears behind me, and there’s no point in trying to hide my giant smile as I get my wish. Turning around, I am slightly surprised to see Rip standing in the middle of my bathroom, the door firmly shut behind him and his eyes blazing with such heat that I feel like they’re caressing my body. My own eyes travel down his sculpted and naked chest, his stomach muscles flexing underneath my gaze.
My thighs clench as my eyes catch on his erect dick straining against the loose material of his shorts, and I slide the glass door of the expansive shower open for him. I don’t think I could get any coherent words out right now even if I fucking tried, but thankfully I don’t need to. He immediately drops his shorts and then, with no urgency at all, walks towards me, not only allowing me time to admire him but also giving me time to get even more turned on.
