I raked a hand through my loose hair, my own breathing harder than it should have been. “Christ, can we at least take this back to my house?”

“Nope,” Billie replied, shooting me a loaded glare. “I’m not waiting. It’s notthatcold out here. Right?” That question was aimed at Rhett, since she was already unbuckling his belt and wrapping her fingers around his dick. Lucky bastard.

“What cold?” he mumbled against her breasts. “I’m not cold.”

Then she dropped to her knees right there in the frosty grass and took him in her mouth.Fuuuck.

Rhett’s laugh was low and smug. “Shouldn’t have teased her so hard, Gray. But I’m not mad to reap the benefits.” He grasped her ponytail in his fist, using it to push himself harder into her throat, and my balls tightened up with desperate need.

Jace gave me a long look, then shook his head slowly. “This is insane,” he muttered but couldn’t hide how turned on he was. Our girl had us all firmly wrapped around her little finger, and we were powerless to resist. Jace seemedsotorn, though. Had he shared Billie since they’d started fucking again? I didn’t even know.

They’d been making huge progress to put their past behind them, though. I desperately didn’t want them to slip back into jealousy and hate. So I gave a pained exhale and strode over to where Billie knelt in front of Rhett; her eyes widened as she looked up at me, her mouth stuffed full of my friend’s pierced cock.

“Prickles,” I barked with authority. “We weren’t finished. On your feet, beautiful.”

Surprise registered in her eyes, but she didn’t immediately do as she was told.

My gaze hardened, and a growl entered my voice. “Now, Billie. Don’t make me repeat myself.”

“God damn it, Grayson,” Rhett groaned when Billie released him from her mouth with a wet pop, pushing to her feet like she’d been told. “Seriously? You couldn’t just join in?”

I could have. I absolutelywouldhave, but I felt like maybe Jace was going to get weird about it. So I figured I was better off taking one for the whole team this time. It’d be hard. Really hard. But these were the sacrifices we made for our chosen brothers.

BILLIE

Grayson kept his heavy gaze locked on mine as he tossed the truck keys to Jace. He tipped his head to the trail, his command clear even before he said it out loud.

“Head back to the truck and wait for us there,” he ordered Jace and Rhett. “Billie and I need to discuss her failure during the distraction test earlier. Don’t we, Prickles?”

A shiver of pure anticipation trembled through me, my exposed breasts tightening even more as I nodded. “Yup. We sure do.”

Jace and Rhett grumbled their complaints, but they weren’t immune to Grayson’s authority and did as they were told, no matter how disgruntled they were about the whole thing.

When we were alone, Grayson let his heavy stare rake over my body, pausing at my naked chest. My bra had been discarded, my sweater pushed up, and I’d made no attempt to pull it back down.

“Cold?” he asked when I shivered again.

I shook my head. “Nope.” Such a lie, I was freezing. But I was also flushed to the point of sweating with how worked up and turned on I was.

Gray’s lips tipped in a tiny smile. “Sure?”

I licked my lips. “Uh-huh. Positive.”

His gaze locked on my eyes again. “Good. Strip naked, Prickles. Show me how that perfect body reacts to the wilderness.”

Excitement jolted through me, and my hands shook as I quickly tugged my sweater over my head and tossed it aside. Then my jeans and panties came off in a quick motion, kicked off along with my shoes.

“Ta-da,” I announced, propping my hands on my hips.

“Cute,” he rumbled, gripping my face with his big hand and tipping my head back. His kiss when he delivered it was hot, hungry, and pure torture. He was holding back, and I nipped his lower lip with my frustration.

“Prickles, my little hedgehog,” he scolded. “You didn’t complete the distraction test. I shouldn’t be rewarding you… should I?”

I swallowed hard, my breathing quick. “So punish me instead, Grayson.” Heat flared in his eyes, and I leaned into him so that my nipples grazed his shirt. “You want to, don’t you? You’re all worked up and pissed off that I blew Rhett in front of you. You wanna spank me for making youshare,don’t you, Gray?”

The rumble in his chest was a resounding yes, and a split second later I found myself back on my knees once more. This time, Grayson’s huge, thick cock damn near choked me before he even got halfway into my mouth, but I still enthusiastically tried to take him deeper. My hand wrapped around his base, making up for the shortfall of my oral depth, and he gripped my hair firmly in his fist.
