It’s weird. I feel different but don’t look different. Shaking my head, I return to the bedroom. Someone folded my clothes and put them in a pile. I pull on my panties and jeans, but I leave on Luke’s shirt. It’s warm and smells so fucking good.
I’m not going to dwell on that.
Caden comes into the room with a tray of food. “Good, you’re awake.”
Someone pauses the game, and they all turn to look at me.
“Hi.” I raise my hand and wave like an idiot.
Seriously, someone should just put me in a place for special losers who don’t know how to interact with society properly. That acronym would be a nightmare. Maybe they could just make it SL for special losers.
“I brought food.” Caden sets the tray on the coffee table.
The game is paused with four little screens of soldiers holding weapons.
The guys all grab a sandwich and sit back where they were before. Their gazes never leave me. I step around and through them to the tray and grab a bag of chips. Settling into the corner of the couch with my feet up on the edge, I open the bag.
I look up and arch an eyebrow. I gesture to all of them with my bag of chips. “Is this going to be a new thing? The staring thing?”
Eli smiles. “Nah, kitten. We’re just wondering what version of you we’re going to get.”
A blush heats my cheeks. Yeah, I felt very self-conscious after sex for the first time. And then with all of them. The flames inside stir. But I’ve rested, and though I’m a little tender between my legs, I’m just famished.
I shrug and put a chip in my mouth.
Chuckling, Caden sits down next to me with his sandwich. He tearsoff half and holds it out to me. When I don’t immediately take it, he shakes it in front of me. That’s weird.
“Thanks.” I take it to get him to stop.
A grin crosses his face. “You need more than chips.”
I must look super confused, because Caden takes food, he doesn’t give it. But when I bite into my sandwich and chew it, he seems pleased with himself. Go figure.
“What are we planning to do with the rest of today?” I glance around at the guys, who are busy eating. I add, “Because I need to get some homework done this afternoon.”
“Did you become a nerd, sunshine?” Nico gives me this fake wide-eyed look.
I shake my head. “Don’t tell me you get jock grades now?”
“I take fluff classes to keep my 4.0.” He wiggles his eyebrows.
“Yeah, fluff.” Jack snorts. “How many AP classes are you signed up for again?”
Nico shrugs and gives me a wink. “Easy A’s.”
I take another bite of sandwich. “I don’t know what we’re supposed to talk about now.”
“The same thing we talked about before, princess.” Luke’s eyes linger on my breasts, but maybe he’s just checking out his shirt. My breasts don’t get the memo and grow heavy under his gaze. I should have put on my bra.
“Do we get our alone time with Harper now?” Nico glances around at the others.
Luke’s jaw muscle ticks. If I’m alone with any of them, he won’t get to control the situation.
“I think that’s fair.” Caden leans back on the couch. “As long as we all agree her ass is off limits for dicks until we decide she’s ready.”
I choke on a chip, and Caden grabs me a bottle of water. Oh god, I’m going to die. I cough and sputter before taking a swallow of water. Grinning, Caden winks.
“While you might want to wait for us to tap that, we need to do some prep work.” Caden draws his finger down my arm, and a shiver ripples through me.
