“I’m sure they would,” Cam said, tilting Josie’s face so she was looking at him. “But let’s not test out the theory, okay?” He pulled her in for a kiss before she had a chance to protest.
I smiled and pulled back out onto the road and headed home.
ChapterFifty-Seven
Josie
Itried to shimmy my way out of my pile of alphas without waking them. Ben had both arms wrapped around my waist in a vise grip. I allowed myself a small huff as I continued my extraction effort. I tried rolling my way out of his grasp, only succeeding in somehow being pressed more tightly to his chest. A gentle rumbling met my ears, and I realized the chest below me was shaking.
“I’m sorry to tell you, being a secret spy is not in the cards for you, precious,” Ben said in a whisper, his voice trembling with restrained laughter. “That was such a weak escape attempt.”
I huffed. I should have known there was a reason his grip had only grown tighter.
“Why are you getting out of bed?” he whispered, his breath running down the shell of my ear and making me shiver with pleasure. “Is something wrong? You need food?”
“Everything’s fine,” I said, stretching so I could plant a kiss on his lips. “I’m just going to meet Sam.”
“Mmm, what will you give me to release you from my clutches?”
I smiled in the dark, nuzzling my face against his neck.
I felt happier and lighter than I could remember between Sam’s visit, getting to drive, and forcing the guys to watch my favorite movies. Theo and Cam had finally relaxed this evening; even Ben had been more lighthearted than usual.
I decided I wanted to be playful.
“I’ll give you a blow job tomorrow.”
“Fuck. Fuck!” Ben hissed out, his hips involuntarily thrusting against my core. A shock of pleasure radiated through me. I smiled into Ben’s chest, loving that I made him lose control enough to swear.
“So, I take it we have a deal?”
“Only if I get to eat you out. It’s been way too long since I got to lick your delicious, plump pussy.”
A burst of slick wet my underwear and I perfumed. I glanced over to where the sliver of moonlight through the curtains illuminated Cam and Theo’s sleeping forms.
“You drive a hard bargain,” I said dryly. “But you’ve got a deal. Now let me up.”
I wriggled out of Ben’s grasp and headed towards the balcony. I’d managed to carefully open the balcony door when hands landed on my hips.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Ben asked, his whisper sending shivers down my spine and causing me to arch my hips against him.
“I’m meeting Sam outside,” I said, forcing myself to pull away from Ben and step out onto the balcony. He followed me out, shutting the door behind him.
He raised his brows at me.
“Sam and I have late-night talks on the roof. It’s our thing. Don’t worry about it. Just go back to bed.” I made a shooing motion with my hands.
Ben stood back, arms crossed, looking between me and the roofline.
“What’s the plan?”
I huffed. “I said don’t worry about it.”
I dragged the balcony table closer to the roof overhang. I had checked it out earlier and was pretty confident standing on the table would give me enough leverage to pull myself over the roof’s edge. While I was not generally physically agile, I’d had enough roof-climbing experience in my childhood that I felt like it was in my wheelhouse.
The moment I got up on the table, Ben’s hands returned to my hips. I turned to look down at him from my elevated perch.
“You can’t possibly think I’m going to let you climb onto the roof, precious,” he said, humor in his voice.
