I pulled her against me, wrapping my arms around her as I rolled onto my back.She was lying half on top of me as I gasped to take a deep breath, still buried in her silky sheath.Easing my hips back, I slid out of her, hating to end the connection.I wanted to stay this way.Not face reality.Let it just be us.Here.Like this.
She pressed a kiss to my chest and sighed contentedly.My arms flexed as I held her.Neither of us spoke, as if afraid to end the moment.
When her breathing began to slow and deepen, I closed my eyes.An odd sense of something I wasn’t familiar with tugged at me just as I eased off into sleep.
Twenty-Nine
Oakley
“Well, isn’t that sweet?”a deep voice drawled.
I opened my eyes as Wilder’s arms locked around me.
King was standing in the room, looking at us with an amused gleam in his eye.“Y’all got about five minutes before we have company.And one of them is someone you probably don’t want to walk in and see this, but on the other hand, it would be entertaining as fuck.”
“Shit,” Wilder muttered.“Do you not fucking knock?”
King shrugged.“I did.No answer.I thought I might find this and was giving you a heads-up.Thatcher, Storm, and Sebastian are on their way out here.We have an update, and we have to get moving.”
I started to get up, but Wilder didn’t release me.If anything, his hold got tighter.
“Go outside and wait for them.I’ll come open the door when we’re ready.”His voice was thick with sleep, making his annoyance sound sexy.
“If I keep them from coming in, then they’re gonna know why,” King said.
“I don’t give a fuck.Oakley needs some privacy to get dressed.Get out!”
I shivered, suddenly very turned on.That voice with his naked chest pressed against my bare back did things to me.
King gave me a look like he could read my mind and chuckled before turning to leave.“Hurry it up,” he called out.
The moment the door closed, Wilder released me.“Go get dressed or showered.Whatever you need to do.”
When I didn’t move, he let out a groan.“Oakley, please.”
I sighed and tossed back the covers, then stood up.
“Jesus,” Wilder hissed.“Cover up.”
I glanced back at him over my shoulder.“Why?You’ve seen it all.”
He ran his hand over his face.“Fuck, Oakley.We have to deal with the real world this morning.I need my head on straight.”
Knowing I affected him was a balm to my soul.
“Okay,” I replied but continued strutting naked as I made my way to the bathroom.“Do I have time for a shower?”
“Yeah.”
I smiled brightly at him before letting the curtain fall closed.Turning on the shower, I waited for the water to warm before stepping under the spray.I heard the other men come inside.I hurried to finish, and when I opened the shower door, I saw a folded pile of clothing with a pair of my panties and a bra from my house on top.They’d brought me something of mine to wear.
Happy at the idea I wasn’t going to be drowning in a sweat suit meant for a large man, I got out, dried off, and dressed in my jeans and a lightweight cream sweater that hung off one shoulder.Once my hair was towel-dried enough and I found a toothbrush and toothpaste to clean my teeth, I headed out into the room that was now full of men.All of who I knew.
My eyes went to Sebastian.I hadn’t seen him in three years.I smiled at my old friend, who had been there for me when I needed it.I was glad to see him.
“Hey,” I said when a slow smile tugged on his lips.
“Hey, Oak,” he replied.
