“What’s that supposed to mean?” I ask, frowning.
“Carrie, we aren’t blind,” Levi says, nudging me. “We saw you, and holy shit, you literally rocked our worlds the first time you walked onto the basketball court dressed like that.”
My cheeks turn pink at the memory. I had stayed up all night, debating whether I could actually pull off wearing something like that.
Nico gives me a look, half-teasing, half-serious. “Yeah. Watching you with the warden…hell, you were a different woman. I kept thinking, where did Carrie go?”
I duck my head, cheeks burning. “I know I embarrassed myself. It was awkward as hell. But I had to do what the plan needed.”
Nico shakes his head, voice gentle. “That’s not what I meant. You’re hot, Carrie. You always were. It’s just…Jinn dimmed your light.”
His words hit deeper than I expect. I think of all the little jabs Jinn used to make, especially right after we were close—how he’d pinch at my waist and smirk, or make some veiled comment about how I could “stand to lose a few,” always right when I felt the most vulnerable.
I swallow, meeting Nico’s eyes. “Yeah. He did.” The firelight makes everything soft. “You all make me feel seen. I didn’t even know how much I missed that.”
Levi moves closer, slipping an arm around my waist. “You should never have to hide who you are.”
That brave feeling rises up in me. For once, I don’t hold back. I turn and slide into Levi’s lap, my arms winding around his neck. I kiss him, letting every ounce of gratitude and longing show. He holds me tight, and for a moment, I’m weightless.
Jace tugs my shirt up, his knuckles grazing my skin, while Levi unfastens my jeans, kissing me deeper, his fingers slipping inside the waistband. Nico is all heat and hunger, tugging my socks off and sliding his hands up my calves, massaging every inch.
My shirt is gone in a moment, my bra following, the straps slipping down my arms as Levi’s mouth finds the curve of mybreast. His tongue circles my nipple, making me moan, arching into him. Jace’s lips press against my shoulder, then trail down, kissing along the line of my ribs as he helps peel my jeans down, inch by inch. Nico’s breath is hot on my stomach as he kneels, mouthing along the waistband of my panties, fingers teasing at the thin cotton.
They strip me slowly, savoring every reveal—exposed skin, goose bumps, the heat growing between my thighs. My panties come off last, Nico’s hands guiding them down my legs, his mouth finding my inner thigh, licking a path up, up, until I’m whimpering, hips bucking for more.
Jace and Levi join him, their mouths everywhere—Levi sucking the tip of my breast, Jace nipping at my ear, Nico’s tongue tracing the slick heat between my legs. I can’t help it; I moan louder, my fingers fisting in Nico’s hair, Levi’s name on my lips as he sucks me harder, his teeth grazing just enough to make me squirm.
They don’t stop until I’m shaking, trembling, begging. Only then do they pause—just long enough to undress themselves, shirts hitting the floor, jeans sliding down, boxers following. For a second, I just stare, drinking them in—Jace’s hard lines, Levi’s solid strength, Nico’s wild, hungry eyes.
I reach out, pulling them closer, craving the press of skin on skin. They tumble me back onto the blankets, hands and mouths claiming me all over again.
They ease me down to the rug, gentle but hungry, their hands everywhere. My knees sink into the plush fibers, and I feel warm, not just from the fire, but from their bodies close around me. Levi’s hands smooth over my shoulders, coaxing me flat, my cheek against the rug, my body open and bare for them.
Jace kneels beside me, kissing a path down my spine, slow and unhurried. I feel every press of his lips, every drag of his breath on my skin. Nico settles behind me, his grip firm on myhips as he nudges my legs apart. I hear the soft rasp of his breath, the low, almost guttural sound he makes when he sees me like this.
Fingers trail up the backs of my thighs, teasing, spreading me wider. My breath stutters. Someone palms my ass, squeezing, and then I feel Nico’s mouth. He licks me, slow and hot, tongue gliding over my folds, dipping lower to taste everything. His stubble scratches, rough and perfect, and it makes me whimper.
Levi’s hands slide under my body, cupping my breasts, his thumbs circling my nipples until I shiver. Jace’s mouth is at my neck, teeth grazing my skin, his hand tangled in my hair.
Nico’s tongue is relentless, working my clit, pushing inside me, everything wet and filthy and so, so good. My hips move on their own, rocking back, chasing his mouth. I bite my lip to keep from crying out too loud, but I can’t stay quiet. Pleasure builds, tight and hot, until I’m trembling, legs shaking, fingers clawing at the rug.
They don’t stop. Nico licks and sucks until I’m lost, the world narrowing to nothing but mouths and hands and heat. When I come, it’s a shock through my whole body, my pulse pounding, my vision going blank for a moment. All I feel is them, holding me down, keeping me right where they want me.
I barely have time to recover before they’re touching me again, hands coaxing, mouths finding every spot that makes me melt. Jace eases me onto my side, his body curving behind mine, his cock thick and hard against the back of my thigh. Nico slides in front, kissing me slow and deep, his hand tangled in my hair.
Levi kneels behind Jace, watching, stroking himself, eyes fixed on where I’m already swollen and slick for them. Jace lifts my leg, hooking it over his hip, and pushes inside me slow, the stretch and heat making my breath hitch. He moves unhurried, his hand splayed over my belly, anchoring me. Nico kisses me through every shiver, his mouth fierce and soft at once.
I reach for Nico, wrapping my fingers around him, stroking him in time with Jace’s thrusts. He groans, low and desperate, then shifts closer, letting me taste him. My lips close around the head of his cock, tongue swirling, and his hips jerk, a sharp gasp muffled by his teeth sinking into his bottom lip.
Jace fucks me slow, rolling his hips, keeping me on the edge without letting me fall. Levi moves behind me, hands sliding up my side, his mouth at my neck, biting and soothing, his cock pressing against the curve of my ass, teasing, promising more.
When Jace finally pulls out, Levi takes his place, the change sudden and perfect. He fills me, thick and deep, holding me flush against his chest, his thrusts measured, almost lazy. Jace kneels in front of me, offering himself, and I take him in my mouth, savoring the salt and heat, the way his hand fists in my hair, gentle but needy.
They move me again, rolling me onto my back, lifting my legs, spreading me open. Nico slides inside this time, his rhythm slow and relentless, stretching the moment until I can’t breathe, until I’m begging for more, for faster, for all of them at once.
Hands stroke my thighs, my breasts, my face. Mouths kiss and suck, teeth graze, voices low and rough in my ear. I lose track of whose touch is whose, just knowing that I’m surrounded, possessed, filled again and again.
They take turns, sometimes one fucking me while another kisses me, another thrusts into my mouth, then they switch, trading places, drawing it out until I’m wrecked and sobbing, coming again and again. My body aches in the best way, limp and satisfied, every nerve singing.
