Calix stood in the doorway, frozen to the spot as he stared at the three of us.
“Calix?” I murmured, chest heaving up and down as my thoughts started to clear.
He blinked a few times before he stumbled back and scrambled out of the room with a sharp breath.
I shot up and closed the flannel around me before running a hand through my hair. “I amsosorry.”
“Sorry?” Nathan shook his head before removing his fingers and bringing them to his mouth and sucking them. “I’m not. You took what you wanted, and we were happy to give it.”
Heat streaked through me as I ducked my head, but Micah gripped my chin between his index finger and thumb and turned me to look at him. His eyes burned with heat. “Don’t apologize. I loved every minute of that.”
“But Calix…” My lips curled downward.
Micah reluctantly let go of me with a sigh. “I’ll go talk to him.” He hauled himself out of bed and grabbed his sweats before shoving his legs through and pulling them up. “He’s probably just embarrassed.”
I fumbled with the bottom of the flannel before trying to button them up, my face flaring with heat as I tried to control my breathing. “I—”
“That better not be another apology.” Nathan sighed and knocked my hands out of the way before buttoning it up the rest of the way, then he cupped my face in his hands and forced me to look at him. “Calix is going to be fine, and so are we. More than fine, really.”
“Don’t stress about it, darlin’,” Micah murmured before heading out of the room.
“How can I not?” I mumbled, and Nathan leaned forward to meet my lips with his.
His lips were soft, and his tongue glided over the seam of my lips before I parted them. Our tongues twirled around each other, as I wrapped my hands around his wrists and moaned into his mouth. He kissed me tenderly, almost as if he was trying to show me that whatever this was between us wasmorethan physical attraction.
Pulling back, he kissed my nose before resting his forehead against mine. “Ilikeyou, killer. Micah is so into you that he can’t take his eyes off of you, and Calix likes you so much he’s been thinking ofhuggingyou. That’s big for all of us. I know you don’t know us all that well, and maybe wearejumping the gun a little bit, but…”
I swallowed the heavy lump in my throat, and his palms were so warm against my cheeks. “But what?”
“Let’s head out there.” He pulled back, and the cold air of the room replaced where his hands had been, and he got out ofbed before tugging a long-sleeved shirt over his head from his dresser and tossing me a pair of sweatpants.
I took them and got out of bed before putting them on and tying them tightly. “Thank you.”
He held his hand out to me before lacing his fingers in mine and tugging me into the living room where Calix and Micah were waiting.
The atmosphere was tense as we went in and sat on the sofa next to Micah, me in the middle. Calix sat straight on his recliner, and I could practically feel the nervous energy wafting off of him.
“I’ll be blunt,” Micah said, scratching his beard as his gaze locked on mine. “All three of us are interested in you.”
“Interested how?” My throat tightened, and I waswell awareof their eyes on me.
Even with the undead horde making noise under us, I wasn’t the least bit scared or nervous about the state of the situation or the world. The only focus I had in that moment was on the three men in this room with me.
“Romantically,” Calix answered.
“And sexually, obviously.” Nathan winked, and I groaned before covering my face with my hands. “I’ll let you take a minute to think that over while I get us coffee.”
The couch shifted as he got up, and static filled my ears as I thought about what that meant.
They wereall threeinterested romantically and sexually, in me.
I already knew I was attracted to all of them, but what exactly were they asking? Did they want us to start dating? If so, what were the rules of having such a dynamic in a relationship?
My head reeled with so many what-ifs, but more than the indecision, Iwantedto try it.
The smell of coffee filled my nose, and I slid my hands down my face to see the coffee mug being held in front of my face.
“Thanks.” I smiled and took the cup from Nathan, and he finished passing the mugs around before taking his seat next to me.
