When it’s over, she meets my eyes, grinning from ear to ear. “Thank you,” she mouths.
“Thank you, Vin. Now take a bow,” I reply, and when she turns around, she bows with a laugh. My guys and Beck clap and whistle for her. Flowers rain from above as she laughs and bows, and I can’t help but feel so full, I might burst.
I wanted to track down the man who attacked her, I wanted justice, but the truth is, that was my selfish wants. She never wanted that. All she ever wanted was to finish her dance and say goodbye to her dream.
Vin never wanted revenge, just a second chance, and I can understand that.
Under the falling petals, she has just that, and I’m right there with her.
SIXTY-FOUR
Three weeks later . . .
Iam officially cleared by the doctor. I didn’t tell them that was the reason I went for the checkup or why they had to wait outside, but it puts my plans in motion as we head home. As we drive, they innocently plan tonight’s meal and choose a movie like we have every evening while I’ve been healing.
Once in my room, I put my necklace back on, one I never should have taken off. My fingers slide over the cool metal before dropping to the cheap bracelet I couldn’t bear to part with.
“You know it has a tracker in it, right? That’s how we found you.” I jerk around at Cil’s teasing voice, even as my mouth drops. “Raff added it one night while you were sleeping. Don’t tell him, he thinks he’s slick like that.”
“I should have known.” I chuckle. Rather than feeling controlled or held back by that, it makes me feel loved and protected. Without it, they never would have found me. Who knows what could have happened then?
They saved me in more than one way.
His arms wrap around me as I hold the necklace and turn my eyes to the city beyond. I have answered so many questions and taken part in so many interviews since the incident, but I refuse to give them any information on my private life. Some are speculating that I’m dating someone, but the truth is, they don’t get to know.
These men are mine, and I plan to keep them that way.
I know who is important now, who I need, and it’s these four men I love and the true friends I’ve made. Beck, who often stands up for me in interviews, has become my biggest supporter, and she wants to bring down the patriarchy together.
In time, we will, but right now, rather than fucking over the men in my life, I want to fuck them.
It’s been too long since I’ve had them inside me. I miss it, but more than that, I need it with a ferocious desperation that borders on obsession.
Grinning evilly, I kiss Cil’s arm and slide from his embrace. “Let’s go for a swim. I’ll get changed and meet you down there.”
“Sounds good. Swimming will be good exercise.” He kisses my cheek on the way out. “I’ll tell the others.”
I hurry as I shed my clothes, leaving nothing but the necklace and bracelet on before redressing. I blow a kiss into the mirror and turn to leave to find my bodyguards.
They are already in the pool when I make it downstairs, and I don’t stop until I stand at the edge where they stood all those months ago. They smile at me, their eyes filled with love as they wait for me.
“Hey, Miss Harrow, do you want to play?” Astro calls teasingly.
“With you? Oh, I want to play alright,” I purr, and I watch their eyes darken as the sun kisses their bodies.
“Let’s start our forever the same way we started, shall we?” I open the robe and let it drop to the ground.
I’m naked, just like the day they met me, and I dive into the pool, knowing they will follow me.
I come up and slick my hair back as they swim to me. Raff reaches me first, tugging me into his arms. Desire ignites in his eyes even as he resists it.
“Miss Harrow,” Raff warns, but I cut him off, kissing him quickly.
“The doctor said I’m fine, so fuck me, Raff. Remind me whom I belong to while everyone else clambers to own me. Remind me who is mine while everyone fights for it.” I pull away with a smirk. “Fuck me here, where we met, like we all know you wished to that day.”
“Reign.” Dal reaches for me, and I swim backwards with a grin.
“I’m an artist.” I smirk. “So inspire me.”
