“Yeah, and he did it as he was talking to me on the phone, knowing I was watching from the security cameras.”

“What an asshole,” I yelled, unable to keep my rage in check when it came to my best friend.

“Couldn’t agree with you more. He also somehow managed to break into a safe in the house and steal my parents’ wedding rings and my mom’s locket that Dad gave her when we were born. The cocksucker took the last things I have from my parents and left a note in its place,” Dax growled.

“Please, tell me there is something I can do? Or maybe the guys, I know you want me to stay hidden, but I can’t stand by while this bastard is coming after you,” I pleaded.

“Let me talk to Magnus, and I’ll explain what I need done,” Dax answered just as the timer started to chime, letting me know our girl time was up.

“I’m surprised they aren’t all in here, having had to survive a whole hour without me. Hold on while I go get him,” I commented as I wandered out of the bedroom. I didn’t see them in the kitchen or living room, so I headed back outside. Jaxson and Ghost sat next to each other on the lounge chair, looking glum but perked up the second they saw me.

“Hey, Magnus, Dax wants to talk to you,” I said, offering him the phone, which he promptly took off speaker.

“Hello,” Magnus greeted as he walked out further into the backyard, so I couldn’t hear what he was saying.

I got up to follow after him, but the other two snatched me up and snuggled me between them.

“Nope, you’re not going anywhere, missy,” Ghost scolded, booping me on the nose. “We gave you time with Dax. Now you’re ours. Trust me, if Mag feels like we need to know what they are talking about, he’ll tell us. Those two have an odd understanding when it comes to business, and I can tell by his face, this is absolutely shop talk.”

Chapter twenty-one

Jaxon

While Ghost kept Harper busy, I watched Magnus talking to Dax. Whatever she was telling him, he found extremely interesting. The asshole even smiled like a Cheshire cat looking far too pleased with itself. What could Dax possibly have up her sleeve? I knew whatever her request was, it would be good. She seemed to be on the warpath.

“What do you think they’re talking about?” Harper asked me as she draped herself over my back, wrapping arms around my neck and setting her face next to mine. “I don’t like how happy he looks. Dax makes that same face before she runs off to do something important. Which I now realize had meant something criminal.”

Turning my face, I blew a raspberry into her cheek, making her squeal. She tried to back away from me, but I caught her and tackled her to the lounge. Nuzzling my face in the crook of her neck, I did it again, making her shriek, then devolved into laughter as I started tickling her sides. I didn’t want her to think about the battle that was coming. We’d managed to stay out of it, for now, to keep Harper safe, but I had the feeling that time was coming to an end.

“Why don’t the three of us head back to the bedroom and finish what we started on the phone?” I purred in her ear, nipping at her earlobe. “Magnus will tell us if we need to know, so let’s worry about that later.”

“I like the way you think, Jax,” Ghost agreed as he yanked her out from under me and tossed her over his shoulder, slapping her ass. “I think it’s time we showed her just how good the two of us can share. Maybe even grumpy pants will come play when he sees what he’s missing out on.”

Harper slapped Ghost on the ass as he jogged into the house and toward the bedroom. “Put me down right now. I can tell when you are trying to distract me, and I hate that it works!”

Our gorgeous girl was right. We’d quickly learned how to change the moment with a few sensual touches here and there. Magnus loved the fact she was developing a praise kink for him, and I was going to see if I could finally talk her into letting me shave her the way I wanted to. I think we were getting close, but you can’t rush that kind of trust. Allowing a man to use one of his knives to shave your pussy was a special kind of bond. One day we would get there, then she would see how it was a far superior shave to that of a razor.

Ghost tossed her on the bed only to pounce on her, snatching up one of the strings to her top with his teeth and pulling it loose. “I want to see the pretties. They were crying out for attention a bit ago. I need to make sure they know I still love them.”

I rolled my eyes at his absurd behavior, but I had to hand it to the man. She was eating it up as he had his face buried between them. While he had his moments with the girls, I stripped out of my clothes and joined them, knowing once Harper’s bottoms were off, things would happen quickly. I decided to beat Ghost to the punch and shoved him off so his body was now next to her, and he could still get to his titties.

“The fuck, man? We are supposed to be showing how we work together, not shoving each other around,” Ghost complained.

I just cocked a brow at him. “Right, and you laying over her whole body was doing a much better job expressing that idea.”

Harper just snorted, looking at the two of us as she pushed up on her elbows. “God, if this is what siblings are like, I’m glad I never had any. You two can’t seem to figure out how to handle anything between the two of you.”

“Oh, is that so, gorgeous?” I asked, crawling up her legs. “I’ll have you know there is one thing we know exactly how to handle between the two of us, don’t we, brother?”

Ghost’s eyes glowed with heat as he reached out and plucked one of her nipple piercings. “Oh, that we certainly do. It seems we haven’t done a good enough job if she’s doubting us.”

“I suggest we switch things up a little and prep both entrances for us. That is the best way to show our amazing teamwork,” I offered.

While all of us knew there had been other partners before each other, the three of us didn’t like to talk about them in front of Harper. We knew all about the men she’d slept with, but I didn’t ever want her to doubt our feelings for her. I considered it practice to be the best I could be for the woman I wanted in my life forever. No one wants a man who doesn’t know how to please a woman. The physical part of a relationship is just as important as the emotional.

“That,” Ghost started, pointing a finger at me. “Is a brilliant idea. All right, angel, get up on your knees,” Ghost instructed, clapping his hands. “Up, up, up.”

She frowned at us but did as we asked. I grabbed one side of the tie and Ghost the other, pulling the strings and letting her bottoms fall away. “I don’t think there is anything sexier than just you, Harper. God, I look at you and can’t believe you’re ours.”
