I meet Wyatt’s eyes over Sara.He’s concerned.Is he thinking of the immediate threat of Peter or is he worried about how this works long-term?Maybe both.Fuck.
We can’t do shit for a few days at least but lie low and enjoy this time with Sara.We’ll have plenty of time to sort this out.
Chapter24
Declare
Sara
I woke up cuddled up with my guys, still deliciously sore after my nap.
My guys.I can’t wipe the smile from my face as we walk toward the kitchen to find something for dinner.Wanting to stay in our little world, we can only hope that Tom and Natasha take their dinner to their room and leave the kitchen to us.
Tom owes me this time.And I need space so I don’t go off on him again.
When we walk into the kitchen, it’s blissfully empty.No idea if Tom and Natasha will come in while we’re here.Am I ready for him to find out about the others?Not that he has any room to talk right now.He has no right to an opinion after what he did to Wyatt.
“Are we telling Tom yet?”I look to Wyatt.He still cares about Tom.Part of me is glad Tom delayed me hooking up with Wyatt, because I would have never had Dante or Finn.And never would have met Drew.I can’t imagine loving just one of them.
“It’s up to you, trouble.”Wyatt walks over to the fridge and starts putting vegetables on the counter.“Do you want to tell him, or do you want us to?”
I bite my lip.I’m not ready to be out of this bubble yet.Dealing with reality seems like a bad idea.And facing the consequences of what we’ve become… Everything is so new.I don’t want to spoil this little respite from the outside world.
“Not yet.”I blow out a breath and Wyatt nods.I don’t want to hurt Wyatt.“It’s not that I don’t want to claim you.I just don’t want to do the whole blame game, and Tom doesn’t deserve to be hurt or get to play the victim in this.”
“He won’t, pip.”Dante’s blue eyes meet mine.“But we can take it one day at a time, and you can let him in on it when you’re ready.”
“We picked up a lot of groceries that I hope these others can do something with.”Drew smirks as he grabs my hand and draws me against him.I snuggle into his warmth as the others move around the kitchen.
“I’m mostly good for breakfast.”Finn touches my back.“But I can follow a recipe.Sara is the best at desserts.”
I turn and meet his green eyes with a smile.“It depends on what I have to work with, but if you want, I can make dessert.”
Finn tips my chin up and kisses me softly.“I’ll have you for dessert any day, flower.”
Heat floods me, but he doesn’t do anything to instigate more.When he backs away with a cocky smile, I glance around to make sure Tom didn’t come in.This feeling of guilt is unwelcome and totally irrational.Just because they’re his friends doesn’t mean I can’t have them.That’s his rule.Not mine.
Fuck it.I need something to distract me.I wade into the guys as they are pulling out things to cook for dinner.The pantry is actually decently stocked.
Arms wrap around my waist from behind and pull me into a solid form.
“Can I help you, princess?”Drew says softly into my ear.
Little sparks light beneath my skin.I lean back and soak in his warmth and breathe in his spicy cologne.“I was thinking a cake.Maybe cupcakes?”
He presses a kiss to my temple.“Tell me what you need and I’ll find it for you.”
His chest rises with mine, and I kind of don’t want to leave his arms.This is nice.This is what I want.To be close to them and just hang out, like the movie earlier and even the walk.I want to be able to go out on a date like I had with Drew.
I love being fucked by them, but I also long for these quiet moments.
What would a date be like with Finn?Would we go to a club?Some trendy new restaurant or bar that has live music?Dante?Watch a horror movie like we did before?I shiver remembering his tongue working me until I came so hard.
Wyatt?I glance toward Wyatt as he turns on a burner on the stove to heat a pan.I’ve seen him out on dates at restaurants, but that doesn’t feel like something we would do.For appearances, of course, but what would a date with Wyatt Hawkins be like?
Wyatt catches me looking at him and gives me a grin that makes my insides flare hot.Not that we can do anything about that heat in the kitchen.Maybe it’s a good thing we’re down here because I can’t just pull someone’s cock out and start an orgy in the kitchen.
Nope, can’t do that.I shake myself out of it and turn my gaze back to the pantry.
