The silence that met her question was thick. Tension filled the room and it was clear that something was happening.
“It doesn’t seem like any of us are done, babygirl.”
Something about hearing that name broke the balance we’d been resting in. With a single whimper from Poppy, everything spiraled.

***Poppy***
Sam’shandtightenedonmy thigh and Jude stood to work his hand into my hair. Cyrus was rock-hard under me and I heard the hungry growl he released before pressing his mouth to my bare shoulder. In a second, they were all touching me and I nearly flew off the couch I was so shocked. If it hadn’t been for Cyrus’s arm across my upper thighs, I probably would’ve hit the roof.
“Wait, wait.” I held up my hands to stop them and struggled to make sense of what was happening. “You’re not mad at me anymore?”
Jude laughed and ran his thumb over my lips. He applied the slightest pressure and slowly pushed his thumb over my tongue. “I was never mad at you, Poppy. I don’t think anyone was.”
I sucked Jude’s thumb and twirled my tongue around the digit, my body taking over for my brain. I tried to press my thighs together to feel even a bit of friction where I needed it, but Cyrus’s arm was still locking me in place.
“Fucking hell.” Sam’s gravel-filled voice sent chills down my body and more liquid pooling at my core.
Bogie’s whine kick-started my brain. I all but spit Jude’s thumb out and forced my way out of Cyrus’s lap. Moving to the other side of the living room, I put my hand over my mouth as I faced them. What the hell was that?
They were all three staring at me, their blatant want clear on their faces. Seeing them watching me like they were, the men I trusted with my life, it made my knees go weak. My body was buzzing with energy and I felt my sex clench down, searching for something, anything. Pressing my thighs together as tight as I could, I fanned myself and licked my lips.
“Um. What’s happening?”
Cyrus stood up and took a step toward me. “Fuck if I know. Jude? Sam?”
Jude watched me like a lion watching its next meal. “Skip me and come back for the next question.”
I backed up as they all three moved closer and gasped when my back hit the wall. “This is going to sound crazy, but I’m getting strong sex vibes from all three of you. Maybe I’m confused because I’ve only slept with each of you once, and that hardly makes me an expert, but you’re all three looking at me like I’m the last roll on the dinner table. There’s only one of me, though. As you can see. So…”
“I don’t think I can walk out of this house right now, knowing someone else is touching you, Poppy.” Stepping even closer, Sam searched my face. “I am dying to get my hands on you, but it’s your choice.”
Jude looked at Sam and Cyrus. “Are we all willing to try something? Test the waters?”
I held my breath as they nodded. “What waters are we testing?”
Jude closed the space between us and jerked me into his body. Slamming his mouth over mine, he groaned into my mouth while sliding his hands down to my ass. His hardness pressed into my stomach until he picked me up and settled my middle over his. He kissed me with so much passion that it took me a moment to realize that the wall I felt at my back wasn’t a wall at all.
Jude’s gaze was scorching as he watched me understand that Sam was at my back, hands on my hips. “Sam? Are you any more willing to leave now than you were five minutes ago?”
Sam’s body pressed harder against mine, pinning me between the two of them. “No.”
“Cyrus?” Jude still didn’t look away from me.
Cyrus’s voice was rough as he moved to stand next to us. He took my face in his hand and turned it to his. “I don’t want to leave. What about you, Poppy?”
I swallowed a wave of nerves and gave in to my body. “I don’t want anyone to leave.”
Jude pulled my face back around to his. “When I watched you kiss Cyrus and Sam the first time, it made me fucking hot for you, Poppy. If I’m being honest with myself about my feelings last week, I was jealous. I wanted more time with you and I hated the idea of the guys being closer to you than I could be. This way, no one gets left out. Maybe we try it this way and see how it goes?”
My voice shook as I made up my mind. “You all want to try this?”
Sam blew out a sharp breath against my neck. “I’m seconds from begging.”
Cyrus nodded. “Yeah, babygirl. I want to try this.”
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. “Me too. It’s always been the four of us.”
