They got up, and Asher took the cookies from me and returned them to the pantry along with the chips.We walked down the hallway, and I stopped at my door, giving them a big smile before going inside.
“Goodnight,” I said.“Sweet dreams.”
“Goodnight, Vi,” Enzo replied.“Get some rest.”
“I will now that I have this,” I teased, holding up the eye mask.“I haven’t slept well in weeks, so I’m hoping this helps.”
Asher rubbed his lips together as he fought the grin spreading across his face.
“What?”I asked, my eyebrow raising.“What’s that grin for?”
“Nothing.”He held his hands up in front of him, playing innocent.
“Say it,” I pressed with a laugh.“You’re making fun of my eye mask, aren’t you?”
I put my hand on my hip and waited him out as Enzo watched us with a playful look on his face as if he enjoyed this as much as I did.
“I’ll have you know that eye masks help because they decrease the light and make you fall into a deeper sleep.There are scientific studies about it.I’ve been wearing one for a few nights now, and I already feel more relaxed than I have in days.I’m going to sleep like a baby tonight.”
Asher leaned in close enough that I could smell the light scent of his cologne and then whispered loud enough for Enzo to hear.
“Call me crazy, but I think that might be the effects of theorgasmI gave you and not the mask.”
He pulled away as I let out a soft gasp.Hearing him say the word sent a jolt straight through my body, recalling the pleasure he had brought to it a few hours ago.
“Sweet dreams, Vi,” Asher said over his shoulder with a smirk before heading into his room and closing the door as Enzo laughed and headed for his room.
I closed mine and stared at the mask in my hand, knowing that he was right.It wasn’t the mask that was going to help me sleep well tonight.It was him.
Twenty-Five
Violet
Iwoke up the nextmorning with the eye mask on the floor and my body blissfully relaxed.I got up and stretched, excited to start the day.I was off from work, which meant that I would get to spend the day with the guys, unless they had plans.While it was rare that they did anything other than leave the house to take me to work or to get groceries, I didn’t want to rule out the possibility that there was more to their life than they’d let on.Lord knew I didn’t want to be the one who held them back.
I grabbed a pile of clean clothes and took a shower, ready to start whatever the day would bring.I had spent a large chunk of time last night thinking about the conversation we’d had.While I loved the thought of the three of us being committed to each other, I couldn’t help but wonder if that was truly what they wanted.There was a nagging feeling that made me question if all of this was just so they could have sex with me.
