He walks with me and lowers me onto my bed. Finally. I want to cling to him and draw him down on top of me, get him to burn with me. But the others are waiting in the car just outside. If they come in, they’ll know my parents aren’t here.
“Fuck, pip.” He lifts off me and runs a hand through his hair.
Smiling, I raise up on my elbows. “You can come back later, boss, and finish what you started.”
“Not tonight, pip. Maybe not ever. Fuck. I can’t. It’s you.” Dante shakes his head and those shutters fall over his eyes. Disappointment rolls through me, but I’m getting to him. “I’ll see you at work tomorrow. Call if you need me.”
The door closes behind him. I roll over and grab my clutch.
Opening my phone, I pull up my text messages.
Me:
I need you.
Dante:
Be a good girl
Me:
I’ll be your good girl
Dante:
Sleep it off, pip
I bite my lip and blow out a breath. Fuck. I want to kiss all of them and have all of them kiss me and do so much more.
Dante. Finn. Drew. Wyatt.
I touch my fingers to my lips, still tasting his scorching hot kiss. I’m playing with fire. These aren’t guys who want to share a woman. It’s impossible and I’m going to end up the one hurt in the end. But what a fucking ride it will be in the meantime.
I take an extra long shower in the morning, trying to push through my hangover. A part of me is tempted to call in sick, but it’s my second day of work and they all know what I was up to last night. I’m sure Finn or Dante would show up to bring me in.
The other part of me wants to hide in a hole. Did I honestly kiss Dante Stone? And tell him I was sick of being a good girl. First off, way to go drunk me. Second off, I have to face that man this morning. It was bad enough after the self-pleasuring incident.
He must think I’ve lost my damned mind.
Maybe I have. While I let Peabody out in the backyard, I fill a large, insulated tumbler with coffee. It’s going to take a whole pot to make me feel alive today. When I let the idea of Wyatt go, I figured this would be easy.
I’d find someone who wants to fuck me, aka Drew, and finally be able to move on with my life. But then Finn kissed me. My gaze is drawn to the dining room table. I swear my knees get weak thinking about his tongue.
And then Dante. Holy fuck, Dante. Getting off with him was spectacular. And that kiss... Fuck, I’m melting just thinking about it.
Drew doesn’t seem to mind me being with anyone else, but is it really possible?
Peabody rushes back inside and dances around my feet, waiting for his snuggle and treat.
I scoop him into my arms and give him kisses. Setting him down, I put the gate up. “Tonight I’m staying in. Promise.”
He barks and goes for the toy filled with peanut butter.
As I get ready to leave, the doorbell rings. I don’t even glance at the security camera, figuring it’s Brandon. When I open the door, Drew gives me a smile I feel all the way to my bones.
His light brown hair falls over his mischievous brown eyes.
My mouth opens, but I don’t know what to say.
