“Don’t push me,” he says, narrowing his gaze at me, and I know this is it, his final warning.
With a sigh, I press a kiss to his nose and back away. As much as I would love to explore his threat a little more, I really do want to go to the doctor’s and get some medicine so I can get better.I’d feel so bad if any of them got it, and it seems they enjoy playing with fire.
“I’ll see you later.” I turn and take off out of the kitchen with little more than a glance. I’m too weak to resist him as it is; I don’t need to tempt myself any more than I already have.
Damn, Nathan.
Damn him and his stupid idea to give me a job, and damn him and his stupid family that kept me here. First Des and Oli, and then Addy.
Now Kat.
Fuck, Kat.
I’d never wanted to settle down; I enjoyed my freedom after years in the military. I was free to work with who I wanted, be who I wanted and with who I wanted.
Nathan was the one set on and settling down with a family, even if he didn’t require a wife, and while I was glad it wasn’t Natasha’s hateful ass, I never thought their little crazy arrangement would actually work.
How could it? Yeah, Alex and Desmond have been known to share. Hell, Alex and Nathan were known to as well, but they have way too much possessive alpha male shit to do it long-term.
One woman, four men.
Oliver never would have stood a chance; he would have been pushed aside for them.
None of it should have worked…
But it did.
It is.
And not just with those four, but maybe with me too.
Fuckkkkk.
How did this happen? How did that adorable, fiery, stubborn little woman change everything I thought I knew about myself?
More importantly, do I even really give a damn?
No.
It’s the easiest question I’ve ever asked myself because it doesn’t matter how it happened or why or even who’s to blame, even though it’s definitely Nathan, because I want Kat forever.
If I take a second and let myself admit it, only to myself, I’ve wanted her for a while.
That night when Des almost fucked her at the tree last year, fuck, I’d wanted her then.
I’d never shared a woman with them, but I’d been tempted to ask that night.
After she disappeared, I considered looking for her myself to have a taste, but I never went through with it.
I was so sure that her getting away from them that night was a blessing in disguise.
I’d never seen those two so hung up over what was supposed to be a one-night stand. The last person to catch both of their attention like that was Natasha, and she had almost blown everything to fucking pieces.
But I was wrong, and I’m not too proud to admit that now.
I glance up at the rearview mirror to see Kat and Addy in the back seat, playing eye spy from the sounds of it.
She must feel my gaze on her because she looks up, her eyes meeting mine, and the smile that pulls at her lips and the slight hint of color that stains her cheeks makes my cock jerk to life.
