I looked up at them both, my eyes half-lidded.
“We want you,” mouthed Ripley.
I was so turned on I could barely think straight. Bouncing slowly, forward and back, I smiled at him.
“Seems like you already have me,” I joked. “No?”
“What he’s trying to say is we’ve fallen for you,” Theo explained, gently. “We’re in love with you, Peyton. No matter what happens next, we want you to be ours.”
Ours…
Even drunk with lust, the word made me feel warm all over.
“But I can’t be—”
Ripley shushed me with a kiss on the lips, both gentle and sweet.
“Yes,you can,” he murmured. “Not mine. Not his.Ours.All of us.”
Colson’s hands gripped me even tighter about the hips. He still drove into me, only with slow, deep strokes that gave the others their turn to speak.
“We love you,” Theo reiterated, “and we want you to ourselves. But the only way that works is if we share you, equally, between us all.”
“Share me?”
“Be our girlfriend,” Ripley shrugged, as if he were pointing out the answer to the simplest question in the world.
“Girlfriend.”
“Yes.”
“But—”
“We foughtforyou, but we’re not going to fight over you,” said Theo. “No jealousy. No bullshit. Just the three of us… and you.”
“The way it has been,” said Ripley.
“The way it should always be,” Colson whispered.
The heat of his breath set the whole right side of my body on fire. My mind was a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts.
Girlfriend.
The word meant nothing, considering our current situation. But what happened if we won? What came afterward, if we beat Donovan and went back to normal lives? And what the hell did ‘normal’ even look like, after something like this?
They love you.
Deep in my chest, my heart raced wildly, fighting for something my brain told me wasn’t remotely possible.
And yet…
I glanced back at Colson, then up at the others. One at a time, I reached out for them. This time, they didn’t swat my hand away.
“Show me how convincingly you can make me yours,” I winked, giving them each a promising squeeze.
Their two thick shafts felt like pistons, pulsing against my open palm.
“And I’ll give you my answer in the morning.”
