And the moans are getting louder along with the sound of the shower turning on.
Cursing under my breath, I dump my backpack onto the ground next to the kitchen area and hightail it out of there. There’s no way I’m going to keep my sanity if I stay here, not when everything inside me is screaming to join them.
But I can’t. We’re friends, remember?
Yeah, I’mreallystarting to hate that fucking word.
Ruined Moments
Olivia
I’m still shaking fromthe two earth-shattering orgasms Theo and Alex gave me in the shower as I explore the rest of the cabin wrapped in a towel. Much to Theo’s disappointment.
“Come on, baby. We could make you come at least one more time,” he says as he trails after me like a lost puppy.
“Leave the poor woman alone, man. We can always pick up where we left off.” Alex shoots me a look filled with smouldering heat before he grabs his best friend and leaves me to explore.
The cabin has a cosy mixture of old, dark woods and supple—if slightly worn—leather furniture. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open-plan kitchen and living space, it’s far exceeded my expectations when it comes to a home during the apocalypse.
Sure, my cottage was a cosy, warm space that I loved before the world ended, but it hasn’t been home in a long time. Not likethis cabin; filled with the unique scents of Rhys, Alex and Theo and their little touches that are all them. A guitar that no doubt belongs to Theo lying against the wall beside the fireplace; the kitchen is well-stocked with high-quality copper pans and notebooks filled with Alex’s scribbled writing and a large black metal gun safe sits next to the door along with various blueprints and notes on Haven’s security that screams Rhys.
“Feel free to take the loft bedroom if you’d like your own space. It even has its own bathroom. Or you can share one of our rooms,” Alex says, pointing towards the spiral staircase at the end of the hallway.
I climb up the staircase. It’s a massive space and while the ceiling is low in places and the bed that’s currently up there is a small single, the windows overlooking Haven and Bristol Channel beyond more than make up for it. I instantly fall in love with it, knowing that I can make this space truly my own. The small en-suite bathroom is also a huge bonus.
After changing into some clean clothes, the three of us make our way to the communal kitchen and dining building. Harlow bounds ahead of us, tail still wagging as she continues to sniff and frolic, acting like a puppy as she explores her new home. Not that I blame her, since I do the same thing, gawking at all the sights and people.
Haven is both amazing and overwhelming—mostly overwhelming. While it’s nice not to be totally alone, the noise and amount of stares I’m getting are already starting to grate. Even more so when Theo holds one of my hands while Alex holds the other as we enter the cavernous dining room. In fact, a few people even stop eating and just stare at us. There are a few disgusted looks but most people are just curious.
My hands tighten in theirs as unease slithers down my spine and the familiar self-consciousness I thought I’d got rid of after society fell rears its ugly head.
“Just ignore them, sweetheart,” Alex murmurs as he presses a kiss to the top of my head.
Theo hums in agreement and steers us towards where the hot, steaming food is laid out buffet-style to join the short line. The scent ofcooked meat, vegetables and spices fill my nose, distracting me from the uncomfortable stares. I grab a bit of everything, my stomach gurgling at just how good everything looks and smells.
The guys grab their own food and lead me over to a smaller table to the side. Rhys is already seated there, eating distractedly from his half-empty plate as he focuses on a pile of papers in front of him. He snaps his gaze up as the three of us take our seats at our table.
“I wasn’t expecting the three of you to be here this quickly,” he says with raised eyebrows.
The implication in his words is clear, and I just about want to die as my cheeks heat and I sink further into my chair. Alex snorts on my other side while Theo outright laughs.
“Jealous?” Theo goads with a mischievous lilt to his voice as he grins at Rhys.
I kick his shin under the table, causing him to grunt and glare at me.
“Rude.”
I point my fork at him. “Behave, then.”
Alex huffs a laugh at our antics and shakes his head as he turns his attention to Rhys. “What are you reading?”
“I’m updating myself on all the incidents that were reported while we were away.”
Theo frowns, his earlier mischief gone. “You’re already working? We only just got back like two hours ago!”
Rhys shrugs. “I had to go find something to do since you three were…busy.” He gives me a significant look.
My face flushes and I wince. “Sorry.”
