“Yours. Forever. And you are mine.”
Carter slides the large diamond solitaire ring onto my finger with a whispered promise.
“An eternity. Not a lifetime because it’d never be long enough.”
All three of my men take turns kissing me passionately, cherishing me, making me feel high on their love. Carter pulls back, staring at me, his eyes full of heat as Killian snatches me out of his arms.
“Killer, fucking beautiful and ours.”
Knox kisses me only briefly before picking me up and tossing me over his shoulder.
“Inside. I made a promise of no sand in her vagina.”
The laughter of my men surrounds us, and I have a realization, an awakening.
It doesn’t matter what I was born into.
The broken girl is no more.
I’ve never been weak, but with them I am stronger.
Is there a God? I still don’t know, but I wonder if these men are my salvation. My reward. For a life of persistent anguish. I will cherish every moment I’ve been given. Life is fragile and can be taken in the blink of an eye. Love hard, while you can. This has become my motto because of them. Everything is because of them. My men. My past doesn’t matter, but they do.
Chapter Sixty
KNOX
Isit in the bedroom on the end of the bed waiting for Heather to get ready for our date.
We decided awhile ago that we’d have one-on-one dates with her in addition to our group activities.
The bathroom door opens and Heather comes out.
“Tesoro. You look beautiful.”
She lowers her gaze to the floor, her cheeks blush and then something extraordinary happens. Heather lifts her head and pushes her shoulders back as if she remembers who the fuck she is. Her lips pull up into a smile and she speaks confidently.
“Thank you.”
This is what I’ve always wanted from her—for her. Since the moment I had her in the shower with me. I wanted her to see what I saw. To understand her worth, not only because she’s beautiful, although she is—but to acknowledge her strength. This woman had every reason to run and hide. Yet, she didn’t do that. Instead of protecting herself, she protected others. And that is fucking beautiful.
My eyes travel from her head to her feet, slowly, taking in every stunning inch of her body. She’s wearing a light blue dress with a lace overlay that falls just above the knee. It’s sleevelessrevealing her arms but the ‘v’ neck showing off her ample cleavage might be the most mouth watering part of this outfit. I motion for her to come over to me and when she does I pull her into my arms and cross my feet behind her legs, holding her close to me.
“You’ve created a dilemma for me, Tesoro.”
I run my hand under the back of her dress, squeezing her ass over her lacy panties.
“Do I want to take you out or keep you home and fuck you all night?”
She places her palm under my chin and tilts my head back. Heather stares into my gaze, her eyes a stern warning matching the tone in her voice.
“You are taking me out. You promised me, Knox. I’ve never known you to go back on your word. Then and only then do you get to fuck me. I promise, I am worth the wait.”
I move my hand to the back of her head and push her closer to me. Tugging her bottom lip between my teeth, I groan.
“Good girl, Tesoro. I fucking love it when you stand up for what you deserve. You are right, you’re always worth the wait.”
Pressing my lips to hers, a small moan escapes from her mouth into mine, as I slide my tongue around hers. Moving her hand to my head, she grips my hair holding me close to her as I continue kissing her. Her scent surrounds me, the sweet floral smell leaves me feeling intoxicated.
