While it wasn’t as satisfying as punching him, watching Sara tell Tom off definitely made me want to carry her like a caveman back to our cave, strip her naked and have her begging for release.But I have to talk to her first.
Natasha’s eyes are apologetic as she and Tom leave the room.Tom storms off, unhappy that Sara is finally standing up to him.Natasha and Tom both knew better.They knew what we’d be up against and left us woefully unprepared.We knew to be cautious and protect her, but if she’d known she could have been kidnapped off our street, she never would have gone out alone at night.
They could have taken her at any point when she was in the townhouse.They proved that by slipping in and searching Tom’s and Sara’s rooms.It may not have made us feel better, but we figured Sara wasn’t the ultimate goal.
And she hadn’t been.
Finn tips Sara’s face his way and kisses her.She melts into his touch.
“What are we going to do for the rest of the day?”Drew kisses Sara’s neck.
When she turns to face us, her pale green eyes have darkened.The need I feel for her is reflected in her gaze as she meets mine.She swallows.
“We should probably talk?”she says.It’s a question, but she says it more like she doesn’t want to ask it.She wants to fuck.Her tongue darts out to wet her lips.Her pupils are blown.If I touched her pussy, I’d probably find her wet and aching for relief.
My cock twitches, ready to be reunited with her again.
But we need to discuss things.She needs to know about my shit before we go any further.Before Tom can swoop in and destroy everything.
“Yes, we should talk, trouble.”
Her eyes lock with mine as I stand.I hold my hand out to her, so she knows I’m in.If that’s what she still wants, I’m all in.After.She rises and takes my hand and a piece of my heart shifts into place.I don’t know that she’ll still want me after I tell her, but I won’t ever stop wanting her.
I draw her into my arms and lean in to take her mouth.She rises on her toes to meet me halfway.When our lips meet, sparks light throughout me.I could have her one more time before this all ends.
Sink into her warmth and feel her come around me.But that’s not fair.
This would have been the end if everything stayed the same.If my feelings hadn’t grown and deepened.It still could be if she decides it’s over.
My chest aches but I pull away.Her eyes search mine, and I let her see how much she tears me apart inside.She touches my jaw.
“Let’s go talk.”She turns to the others.“All of us.”
They rise and everyone takes care of the dishes in silence.It’s like someone made a rule, but when we finish, Sara returns to me and takes my hand.
I lead her back to our bedroom.The others follow.This is our make-or-break moment.She may decide she doesn’t want all of us or any of us.I don’t think that will be the case.Drew, Finn, and Dante won’t make that decision easy.
But if she doesn’t want me…
I rub at the pain in my heart.If she doesn’t want me, I have to let her go.I’ll stay to protect her, but I won’t force her to be with me.Once she’s safe, I’ll leave.
She looks up at me through her lashes as I release her hand.She goes to the unmade bed and sits on the edge.Every inch of her is perfect.The robe splits as she crosses her legs, tempting me to worship on my knees before her.Part her legs and inhale that delicious scent of her before tasting and rediscovering every inch.
Make her cry out my name one last time.
Instead, I sit on the couch facing her.She cocks an eyebrow, but doesn’t move.The others join me on the couch and in the chairs.She has our full attention.
“There’s something you don’t know about me.”I run a hand through my hair.
“I know enough.”Sara sighs, and before I can dig in, she says, “I don’t want this to end.I know Tom is back and that was supposed to be our date, but fuck that.Fuck Tom.I don’t owe him a damn thing.He’s my brother, and he might have something to say about this, but I don’t give a fuck.I want to be with all of you.Not just fucking you in secret while dating Drew, but actually be with each of you fully.”
Her gaze flows over us before landing on me, and that’s where her confidence dies a little.I drop my gaze to my hands.I hate that I can still do that to her.
“I’m all in.”Drew straightens.“I’ve been all in from the first time you called me to ask me out.I knew you wanted a fuckboy, but I didn’t want to be that.Not for you.”
Her smile is soft as she meets Drew’s eyes.For once, that rage of jealousy is quiet.Drew’s a good guy and she deserves someone like him.Drew doesn’t stop talking, but that’s nothing new.
“You want me.I’m in.You want them too.I’m in.We’ll figure this mess out.We’ll make it work.”Drew fake punches me in the arm.“Even this guy.”
