I give her a hopeful smile and her shoulders relax.This is going to be hard on everyone, and she doesn’t need to come into this family with strikes against her.Mom might think it’s all her fault that Tom abandoned me and got me kidnapped.
Stepping forward, I say, “Tomorrow, we can talk.I’m still tired from what I went through.”
She returns my smile.“Okay, tomorrow.”
She looks around at my guys, not knowing they’re all mine.Just knowing they’re protective of me.Maybe she knows more?Or suspects more?
Nodding to me, she ducks out of the room.
Does she talk about it with Tom?I shake my head.
“Come on, princess.Let’s get you into something more comfortable.”Drew carries his plate and mine through to the kitchen.
“I’m already pretty comfortable,” I murmur.
Dante tips my chin up and his light blue eyes search mine.“I think we can get a lot more comfortable, pip.”
Heat stains my cheeks.Yes, we can.
Chapter25
Substantive Tests
Dante
As we do the dishes, Sara makes some frosting for the cupcakes on the cooling rack.They smell as delicious as she is.I don’t think Tom will be brave enough to come down tonight.Not after what Sara said this morning.
He knows to give her space.And we know she’ll forgive him because when it comes to Tom, we all forgive him.He’s an ass sometimes, but what he does when he’s being your friend usually makes it worth it.
But I can’t mesh the Tom I know with the way he treated Wyatt.I knew Tom held something over his head for years to keep him away from Sara, but not something like this.Tom blackmailed him with not only Wyatt’s future, but Wyatt’s mother’s too.What kind offrienddoes that?
It’s hard to reconcile that with what we’ve always known about Tom.If it weren’t for Tom, none of us would have had a home to go to when things got bad.Whether I needed somewhere to hide from my uncle or Finn needed to get away from his father’s schemes or Wyatt just needed somewhere he could breathe without being made to feel less than his siblings.
Tom collected us as friends and made us a group.Even though right now I want to pummel him for what he did to Sara, I can also see how he wouldn’t want to see that coming.How he could ignore the warning signs.Because at the end of the day, Tom is a dreamer just like Sara.
He wants to believe the best in people.But fuck, with Wyatt, Tom tore down the whole basis of our relationship.The trust we give each other.How could I not know that Tom was holding this over Wyatt’s head for years?How can I ever forgive him for what he’s put Sara through and what he’s put Wyatt through?
How can I ever be Tom’s friend again when I don’t trust him?
Sara’s laugh draws me out of my thoughts as I load the last dish.
“Just think what we can do with that frosting, princess.”Drew is pressed against her back, pushing her into the counter.
Sara’s green eyes sparkle as she gathers some frosting on her fingertip and brings it to her lips.When she slides her finger into her mouth and moans, I’m not the only one in the room who grows hard.
In a low voice that doesn’t carry, Drew whispers, “I could bend you over this island and slam my cock right into your cunt.Fuck you hard and fast and then let the others have a go at you until you’re messy with our cum.I’d dip my fingers inside your cunt and gather our offerings before sliding them into your mouth and letting you taste how good we all go together.You could decide whether you prefer us or frosting.”
She moans softly.“You’re distracting me from my cupcakes.”
He chuckles.“I don’t give a fuck about your cupcakes, princess.I just want your tight little pussy to choke the life out of my cock.”
She slides out from between him and the counter and moves to the sink to wash her hands.Her gaze collides with mine.
“What do you think, boss?”She arches a challenging eyebrow.“Should I let you all fuck me in this kitchen while I frost my cupcakes?Where someone could walk in and find you fucking me hard and so good?”
She dries her hands and closes the space between us.“Do you want to risk getting caught?”
Her eyes sparkle with mischief.Do I think Tom will come in?No.But does it make it a little hotter to pretend he could walk in to find me fucking his sister on the counter?Fuck.My dick is throbbing it aches so much.
