I no longer have any fucks to give, so I shrug.“You left her in our care.”
And that’s all he needs to know for now.Sara will decide when we’re ready to tell anyone else.

Dante drops the bags inside the door.The bed is huge and calls to me, but I need a shower first.I catch Dante’s hand and his soft gaze takes me in.
“I need a shower.Please tell me we have a change of clothes for me.”I’m so exhausted.I slept on and off during the drive, but I couldn’t fully relax not knowing what happened with Wyatt and Drew.
We didn’t even know if they’d be here yet.After we parted ways with Sebastian and his crew, we took so many turns to make sure no one was following us that I got completely turned around.But Dante got us here.
I barely took in the downstairs as we walked through.It’s gorgeous and obviously a wealthy estate, but the details eluded my sleepy brain.My hand stings from hitting Tom, but I could have kept going.I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forgive him.
But right now, my lack of sleep is catching up with me.For the past two days, I’ve worn the same thing.I need to get clean.Dante grabs a bag and guides me into the bathroom, closing the door behind us.He sets the bag on the counter and turns the water on.
I rummage through the clothes to find a pair of underwear and something comfy.A glance in the shower tells me the guys already put soap, shampoo, and conditioner in there.Dante takes his shirt off and then his pants.
Sparks light within me but they’re weak at best.I don’t have energy to do much but shower.Before I can tell Dante that, he steps behind me and helps me undress.
“I don’t know if I’m up to playing, boss.”
Dante’s chuckle sends little shivers through me as he releases my bra.“My intention is to get you into bed to sleep, pip.I haven’t slept well in days either and desperately need a shower.”
“Okay.”I release a breath.
When he lowers my pants and I step out of them, the door opens.Finn slips in and shuts it behind him.He gives us a nod before stripping.
My body is getting ideas that it won’t be able to do anything about.Dante leads me into the shower and the warm water hits my skin.I give a little sigh and Finn joins us.
Their skin brushes mine while we wash our hair and then their hands skim soap over my body, making sure I’m thoroughly clean from head to toe.I relax into them as they take turns holding me up.
I didn’t notice the bathroom door opening, but when I’m rinsed, Dante opens the shower door.Drew is there and holds a towel open for me.Stepping into his arms, I let him take care of drying me off.He takes his time with my hair so he doesn’t tangle it.
Then he helps me into my pajamas.His touch is methodical and not meant to stimulate, but I can’t help myself around these guys.I’m warm all over, but I really just need to nap.There’s this part of me that is desperate to reestablish our connection, our bond, but just being with them and knowing we’re finally safe blows apart all that tension that was holding me together.
When the door to the bathroom opens, Wyatt lifts me and carries me over to the bed.He’s only in his boxers.
“I missed you, trouble.”He lays me in the center of the bed and climbs in with me, drawing me into his arms.
I release a sigh and snuggle against his chest into his warmth, drawing in that rich scent of leather.The bed moves as the others join us.Dante presses in behind me, but Finn and Drew put their hands on me so I can feel them too.Tears choke me.
I didn’t think I’d ever get to feel this again.
“Shh, we’ve got you, pip.”Dante strokes his hand down my side.“We’re never letting you out of our sight again.”
It’s ridiculous because eventually they will, but right now, those are the words I need to hear.Finn hasn’t mentioned that he told me he loved me.I don’t know how the others feel, but my heart is all in on each and every one of them.
I love them all so much.This could work.Madison and her guys have made it work.I don’t know if we can, but I want to try.My gaze lifts to Wyatt’s dark eyes, watching me like he’s afraid I’ll disappear.
“I’m here, trouble.”
Fuck, I must be looking at him the same way.
“I’m not going anywhere.”He strokes his hand down my back.“Go to sleep.We have a lot to catch up on.”
Someone drew the curtains to block out the daylight and then the lamp shuts off, surrounding us in darkness, but I can feel them and smell their distinct scents.Fuck, I’m finally home.
