This is nice. All of us, having azy Sunday morning, talking about anything and everything

    When Xavier spoke directly to me earlier, I could have been a bitch and ignored him or even asked him to leave the rooms Rot That’s not me.

    And being kind to him doesn’t have to mean that I let him in again. It just means I don’t want to cause unnecessary tension between the guys. They now, after all, the ones who live together. And when I leave hereter, awkwardness under their roof will benefit no one.

    My phone chimes on the bedside table beside me, reminding me to start getting ready for my visit with Moira and my meeting with Michael,

    Putting my mug down, I throw the sheets from my legs and slip from the bed. When I’m on my feet, I lift my hands above me, tip my head hack, and wech out my back. I realize toote that Hunters boxers have ridden up during the night and now sit like short shorts around my hips and are Theeshan has also lifted with my movement, which means my upper thighs and groin area, which is luckily covered, are on disy.

    When I hear a stifled groan and a muffled “Fuck“, my head snaps back down, to see what caused those responses. Their eyes are glued to my lowes hell, and they all have varying looks of desire swimming in their hooded eyes.

    “Shit, sorry,” I say as I pull down the shirt in the front to try and cover upb, /beven though I think the damage has been done.

    Cade answers me with a mischievous grin: “Sunshineb, /byou never have to apologize for letting us see more of that delicious body of yours.”

    A sudden blush tints my cheeks as I dip my chin to my chest to try to hide the effect his words have on me.

    The bed creaks secondster, and I see bare feet enter my downcast vision. With a crooked finger under my chin, bAJ /bes into view bas /bhe blifts /bmy head slowly until his beyes /bcan peer into mine. “Never hide from usb, /bCupcake,” he says affectionately.

    Then, he leans in and kisses me. Softly at first. As if he only wants the slightest taste of my lips. Then he pulls away slightly, and a whimper of disapproval slips from me, making him grin at me.

    It doesn’t take long for him to return to me, though. He steps into meb, /bgrabs onto my hip with his left hand, and slides his right up my side, and over chest to cradle my neck with his palm while his fingersce into the hair behind my ear. Instinctively, I lean into him with a contented sigh, my eyes drifting closed.

    I feel him leaning into me, his breath skating over my lips for a second, and then he seals his lips bover /bmine. Slowly at first, even tentatively. But it won evolves into him iming my mouth for himself as he nips at my bottom lip, which causes me bto /bbgasp /bin bsurprise /bat the bite of pain. He takes advantage of my moment of shock by slipping his tongue into the small space between my lips and licking the inside of my mouth with a slow swirl–like motion

    After that, I’m lost to him, and how he kisses me with a passion which has my toes curling and my mind losing track of time. The presence of the other men in the room is lost to me as AJ devours me with a possessiveness that should scare me but only serves to make my core heat as if I’m standing in front of a zing bonfire.

    My hands slide to his back and then dip beneath his bt/b–shirt to have skin–to–skin contact with his warm skin and strong back muscles. He groans when bany /bnails lightly scratch down the sides of his spine, and the guttural sound makes me instinctively grind myself against his hardening bcock/b.

    Suddenly, I’m yanked from our moment, when my phone chimes again with my second reminder of what I must do today. Leaning my forehead against APS chestb, /bI use my one hand to swipe the snooze button on my phone screen off.

    “Beautiful,” Hunter’s voice drifts to me from behind bAl/b, his toneced with desire, making me realize we had just put on an unintentional naughty show for the guys. Shit.

    “Why is your rm going off the whole time?” he continues when I lift my head to peer at him over the broad shoulder in front of me.

    With a heavy sigh, I answer him with no enthusiasm, “Because I need to get ready to go and visit Xavier’s dad.”

    Xavier suddenly sits up from where he’s leaning on the windowsill, his full attention on me now as he crosses bhis /barms, and his voice thick bwith /bbsuspicion/b, “Why do you need to go see my dad?”

    He must hear himself, because he quickly backtracks, and then bsays /bin a calmer more even tone, “Shit, sorry. Why do you bneed /bto see my bdad/bb? /bAnd b1 /bpresume byou /bmean at his houseb?/bb” /b

    The whole blow up in the parking lot might have thrown a spanner in our nsb, /band where I eventually ended hoping thing about howst night ultimately went down.

    “I’ll take you,” he starts in his domineering voice, but catches himself being a pompous bass/b, then says in a moscading time. “F we’ll go to Tessa’s so you can get changed, and then to my dad’s ce. If you don’t mind, that is.”

    “Uhm, that’s kind of you to offer, but I know you’re busy and I couldn’t expect that of youb,/b” I hedge, not wanting him to do des

    “I’d like to take you, please. It’ll give me a chance to apologize properly for my shitty behaviouri,/i” he dips his head as the finishes of shame is evident in his hunched shoulders and the defeated look on his facei. /i

    Cade catches my beye /band then nods as if telling me to give Xavier a chancei. /i

    Tipping my head from side to side, I contemte my answer, hoping I’m making the right decision when I eventually say, “Okay, but only em coffee on the way back to say thank you.”

    The way his head suddenly snaps up, with a look of surprise clouding his eyes, is quickly overshadowed by the devastatingly hand on her you “You, Princessb, /bhave yourself a deal.”
