“There’s our girl,” Axe said as he turned the corner and came out of the kitchen.
“We were wondering how long it would take Jax to pick you up,” Dee said with a grin, coming down the stairs.
I heard the crunching of food before I ever saw his face, and yet I knew exactly who it was. “I don’t know what you’re eating, Mav, but I’d like a piece of it.”
And when I turned around, he held out the sandwich he had been chomping on. “Hope you like ham and turkey.”
I leaned forward and took a gigantic bite as my gaze locked with his. “Mm, mm, mm. This is good.”
He chuckled, gripped my chin, and swiped something off my lower lip. “So are you, beautiful.”
“Come here,” Axe said gruffly.
Feeling him scoop me against his body brought tears to my eyes. He hugged me from behind, my back flush with his bulging muscles as Dante scooted around Mav just in time to wrap his long, taut arms around us both. He squeezed tightly as his lips brushed the shell of my ear, and the heat of his breath made my knees quiver.
“I thought you guys had left me,” I whispered, throwing my arms around Dee’s neck.
“You didn’t think we’d let you go that easily, did you?” he murmured before kissing my forehead.
Mav sneaked his way in between me and Dee, and his arms disconnected Axe from my back as he pulled me close. He enveloped me, drowning out the rest of the world as it threatened to creep back in. His hand tucked my head into the crook of his neck. His body heat alone comforted me, relaxing me so much that my legs gave way. Tears of happiness flooded his shoulder, and he held me close to him, refusing to let me drop. Then, my body levitated through the air, rising up a set of steps my feet never once touched.
And when my back touched down against that mattress, I looked up to find all three of them staring down at me with smiles on their faces.
“Welcome home, my queen,” Axe said.
Dee perched at the foot of the bed and pulled my feet into his lap. “Let’s get these off. I’m sure you feel stifled.”
Mav clambered onto the bed and lifted my head, placing it softly in his lap. “You hungry?”
I shook my head. “No.”
Axe stood at my side and reached down for my hand. “Thirsty?”
“Mm-mm.”
Dee eased my shoes off my feet. “Tired?”
I drew in a deep breath. “No, actually.”
“Can we get you anything, then?” Mav asked.
And as I tilted my head back, looking at his handsome upside-down face, only one thought crossed my mind.
“The three of you,” I said as I reached up and cupped the back of his head. “I want the three of you. Now.”
I pulled his lips down to mine, crashing them together in an earth-shattering kiss.
EPILOGUE
BRIELLE
I knew nothing else except his tongue as it brushed against the roof of my mouth. Maverick intoxicated me, sliding his hand down between my breasts before he gripped the fabric of my shirt. He yanked it up and I felt someone dip their hands into the cups of my bra. Those long fingers, sliding their way along my puckered peaks as he freed them from their confines made me gasp against Mav’s lips.
But it was Axe’s voice that made me smile.
“Everyone!” he bellowed down the hallway. “Clear the clubhouse! Go have a fucking life for once! See you for church tomorrow morning at noon! Spread the word!”
“Perfect,” Dante whispered as something warm touched down against my nipple.
