Seeing him take a part of me into his body made another bolt of desire move through me.
What were these men doing to me?
“Nothing?” It came out as more of a question than a statement.
“Are you sure?” He tugged a strand of my hair.
“I’m just so happy that I found you three.” I grabbed his hand and squeezed it in mine. “Now hand me my coffee before I mess you up.”
John smiled and handed me the cup. “Well, I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say that the feeling is mutual.”
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in,” John said in a cautious voice.
At the same time, each of my men positioned themselves between me and the door. The door swung open, and a nurse walked in.
“It’s time for you young men to leave. Our patient needs rest,” she said, walking over and taking the coffee out of my hand. “No stimulants. If you get a good night’s sleep, you can leave first thing in the morning.”
I scowled as she entered the bathroom and poured my coffee down the sink.
“We’re going to stay with her and make sure she rests.” Jesse inserted all of his considerable charm into his voice.
“Are you Faction?” Nurse Ratched asked, already knowing the answer.
“No, we’re just first years, but we are her Potentials,” John said, knowing where the woman was going with her question.
“I’m afraid that’s not good enough. Only family or Faction is allowed to stay with a patient.” She smirked.
“Those are the rules, but I’m sure exceptions can be made.” Frosty stood and reached into his pocket.
The nurse frowned, “I know you’re not suggesting bribery, Mr. Walters.”
He pulled his hand out of his pocket, appearing more than a little frustrated. “Apparently not.”
I’m sure he wasn’t used to not getting his way, given his family's wealth and standing in the Aurathion community.
"Guys, I’ll be fine. Get some sleep, and I’ll see you in the morning.”
I knew if I didn’t speak up, they would get themselves into trouble. The academy had been known to dole out punishments itself; Anything from early initiation to making your dorm the size of a broom closet. I wasn’t willing to see what it would do to the guys.
John stared at the nurse, looking like he wished he could melt her with his gaze.
Jesse and Frosty weren’t any happier with the situation.
“Please, guys, I am feeling a bit sleepy.” I needed to end this standoff before she called for reinforcements.
“Okay, but we’ll be back first thing in the morning,” John growled in the nurse’s direction.
She just nodded, then opened the door and motioned them out.
Jesse blew me a kiss, Frosty and John followed suit, then left the room.
“I’ll bring you some real food, then you need to rest.” She frowned at my donuts. “And don’t think those men can sneak back in here; I’ll be watching.” She gave me one more disapproving look before leaving the room.
I leaned back and closed my eyes. This day had been FUBAR, as my dads would say. Even though meeting the guys was a dream come true, I was looking forward to a new day. I understood it would get harder before it got easier. Right now, I just wanted to finish the initiation so I could do the ritual with my guys.
I drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face, thinking about those incredible kisses I’d gotten. Too bad, nurse cockblock, came in before Jesse got a turn.
