Crew grins. “Trust me, Boss, I have about a dozen places I can think of where I’d rather put it too.”

“Adozen?” Dani asks. “Do tell.”

I feel some of my own stress melting away as our dynamic starts shifting back to normal and our girl is clearly feeling a little flirty.

I’m behind her, so I move in, my hands on her hips, moving her forward to press into Nathan. What we all need is some sweaty, naked time where we are all firmly in our usual roles. We need to remember that no matter what is happening around us, no matter what other people may come in and out of the outer circle around us, the four of us are at the center and the same, always.

Nathan’s hands settle on her hips, and I run my hands up and down her arms. “So, we’re going to have to be creative,” I tell them. “There’s not a lot of space in here.”

“I don’t want a lot of space,” Dani says, one hand on Nathan’s chest as she lifts an arm to loop it around my neck.

“We’ve had too fucking much space today,” Nathan growls, his hands sliding up under her sweatshirt, stroking her sides.

He leans in and takes her mouth in a deep kiss. She arches close.

Crew reaches around, clearly not caring what Nathan can feel. He squeezes Dani’s hip, and she moans.

I lean in, my knee knocking against the ‘kitchen’ counter. Nathan tries to move to give Crew some room to get closer, but his head knocks against the cabinets over the bench seat.

“Fuck,” he mutters, pulling back and staring at her with heat. “If you won’t let me buy a house, we’re at least getting a goddamned hotel room.” He reaches for his phone again.

“No.” I stop him, pressing Dani closer to him again. “You don’t need to call anyone to fix this.Youjust need to take care of our girl.”

We just need to be us. Right here and now. Where we’re at. We all need to know that we can do that no matter what’s going on around us.

Nathan needs to take control and boss her around. Hell, he needs to direct this whole thing. He’s been out of control the entire day, and I know that’s eating at him.

Crew needs to play with her and just let go and be himself without worrying about her mother thinking he’s too young and immature.

And I need to treat her like our princess.

Nathan’s jaw tightens. His eyes are still on Dani, but I know he hears me.

“Okay,” he finally agrees.

“No, it’s fine,” Dani says, stroking his face. “This is weird, I know. There’s not enough room in here. Let’s just go back to the bed, and we can just–”

“Take your clothes off, Danielle,” Nathan interrupts. His voice is low and firm, and his expression says there will be no arguing.

But this is Danielle.

Probably the only person on the planet who can push Nathan Armstrong and not suffer dire consequences.

Of course, it helps that she likes his punishments.

“Nathan, you’ve been so great today. I know you’re tired and frustrated. I’m sorry today was so much. I know my parents were a lot. I knew this would be…difficult. Let’s just sleep tonight. You don’t have to ‘take care of me’ any other way.”

Nathan growls. “Danielle.”

She hesitates. I squeeze her sides. “Yeah?” she asks quietly. Clearly, she knows Nathan has reached a breaking point.

“Take your fucking clothes off,” he orders.

I decide to be helpful, and I sweep her hoodie up over her head and toss it toward the front of the RV. I unhook Dani’s bra and toss it up front as well. I cup her breasts from behind, playing with her nipples as Nathan watches. She presses her ass back against me, almost instinctively.

Nathan takes a deep breath, seeming to relax. “I don’t want you to think right now, Danielle,” he tells her, cupping her face and dragging his thumb over her lower lip. “I don’t want you to worry or think about how any of us are feeling or how anyone else is feeling. This is about howyoufeel and getting you out of that pretty head.”

I nod. Exactly. We need to help her forget about all the things she’s been worrying about trying to mediate between her parents and the three of us. We just need her in this moment with us.
