“But if you guys have…” I pause. I need to come to them. They were waiting for me to decide to take a chance. They weren’t jest inviting me to join in their exercise routine, they were trying to get to know me better and giving me a chance to get to know them. Colton already knew the others would be keen to join in because he made the deal. That’s what they want. I lift my chin, feeling braver. “I told Colton that I wanted you and Hargrave to join in.”
Priest smiles. “Is that right?”
I don’t care about what’s right anymore. Playing within the rules kept my life small, not safe. I don’t want regrets. “It doesn’t seem fair otherwise.”
I might only be this brave because I nearly died and sitting in the middle of the storm, the rest of the world with its expectations and rules seems so far away. This moment. This is all that matters. I don’t want to think about what might happen.
I lean in to kiss him and he tilts his head back to avoid the kiss.
Oh God, there it is. The rejection because he is horrified at my admission. What if they didn’t all want to sleep with me, and it was more about not creating tension between the men. Did I misread everything?
He holds me tight, his hands on my ass so I can’t escape. From the hardness of his cock, he doesn’t want me to move either, or at least not off him.
“I’m not normally like this. Forget it.” I’m dying on the inside.
“I can’t, and I don’t want to. But I need you to be clear. You want all four of us? ‘Cause that’s the only way this works. It can be one off, or it can be more. That’s up to you.”
“That’s what you want?” Because I need to be sure.
“It will be one hell of a way to celebrate getting Reed back.” His finger strokes my cheek. “I’ve wanted you since I saw you. I don’t mind sharing. We’re all here for this job, but I don’t know if we’ll remain a team or end up in different teams. That depends on the company we work for. But it would be nice to have someone to come home to, and you’d never be alone. We’d always make sure someone is home with you.”
He's already imagined a future, and it sounds perfect. So perfect it can’t be real. It will never work. I’m picking holes before I even give it a chance. I need to let go, and see what happens. “You’ve thought about this a lot.”
“I need something to do while lying awake in bed, but I don’t want to rush.”
I do. I want it all now. What if I get cold feet later?
I roll my hips so I can feel the length of him grind against me. If I wasn’t wearing pants, I could ride him the same way I did Reed. I close my eyes, my body craving release.
I want him to make the next move, and I’m not disappointed when he undoes the fly of my pants.
“I’m not doing anything without the others. Reed gets a pass, but only because he’s been shot.” He draws in a breath. “But I can give you what you need.”
His hand slides into my panties and finds my clit, rubbing it as he fucks me with his fingers. My body is primed from fucking Reed not that long ago, so it doesn’t take much to push me to the edge. His other hand cups the back of my head and he kisses me. I gasp as I come, grinding against his hand. I want more, even though it’s not on offer.
I moan as the ripple of an aftershock flows through me.
He pulls his hand free and licks his fingers. “I look forward to eating your pussy properly.”
Then he does up my pants while I sit there a little dazed.
“You don’t want me to…”
Priest shakes his head. “I’m going to do a sweep of the area. When I return, we can finish the coffee and cookies. They should be on their way back by now.”
He lifts me off him and sets me on the leaves. They shift a little because of the mud and water underneath, but I’m grateful for them and the shelter.
“And if they aren’t?” I’m still a little breathless and my pulse is rapid.
“We have a very big problem.” He picks up his rifle and leaves the shelter, disappearing into the rain. It takes only seconds for him to vanish.
CHAPTER21
Priest
Not even standingout in the storm softens my hard-on. All I wanted to do was spread her out and take her. I’ve been waiting for so long, and even though I’ve played it through so many different ways in my head, it was never like this.
As much as I want her, I need to be alert and on guard. Not caught with my pants down in the mud. And definitely not breaking the deal that I made with the others. I’m not surprised Reed did. I think anyone of us would’ve done the same thing.
