Melody looks up at me with pretty hazel eyes. She looks scared, but ready. “This could be it, I guess. The last time before everything might go horribly, horribly wrong.”
“It won’t,” Mad Dog says firmly.
“Of course not, but, just in case, could we…” Melody nibbles her lower lip. “I don’t want to waste the time we have left.”
“C’mon. Let’s make sure you know what you have to come back to.” Taking her by the wrist, I pull her with me toward my bed. “Plenty of room on it.”
Melody ends up with me on one side, Riptide on the other, and Mad Dog on the end, rubbing her feet. Riptide strokes her hair while I caress her hip. I want to spend all the time in the world on her, and keep her like this forever, but she’s right, everything could change tomorrow. She lets out a soft sigh and snuggles deeper between us.
Riptide slips down so they’re face to face. “I wanna kiss you. Make sure you don’t forget me.”
“I won’t forget—” She’s cut off by his lips covering hers.
“Let’s make it memorable,” Mad Dog says with a laugh. “I want a turn, too.”
“Not a bad idea, to be honest.” I grin as I move to her other side. As soon as Riptide lets up, I turn her head to me, pulling her close.
“Please,” she whispers.
She tastes like everything I fucking want in a woman. It takes just a moment after my tongue finds hers before she’s kissing me back with the passion of someone who doesn’t know how much time they have left.
When I let up, she’s breathing heavier and there’s a spark in her eyes that wasn’t there a moment ago. Mad Dog crawls up the bed, pulling her closer so he can reach. He pauses. “All of us?” he asks softly.
Melody nods. “Always.”

MELODY
Mad Dog pushes himself up into a plank position over me. “What do you want tonight, baby?” I’ve never seen such a focused blend of concern and lust in someone’s eyes before.
“I…” I feel like a prisoner being offered their last meal. How do you pick? “I want everything.”
“This won’t be the last time,” Riptide rumbles next to me, like he can read my thoughts and doesn’t like what he sees. “We’re not gonna let you stay away from us long, babe.”
I don’t like it either. I reach out to touch him, and he covers my hand with his. “I wish you could promise that.” Reaching in the other direction, I find Rebel. “But… since it could be a while…”
Mad Dog pushes himself up onto his knees so he can tear off his shirt and throw it aside. The corded muscles in his arms and torso ripple as they move, making his tattoos almost feel alive. “Only had to ask, honey.”
Rebel makes me look at him with his strong hand under my jaw. “Do you want gentle?” He places a soft kiss on my lips. “Or do you want us to make you feel it for days to come?”
The words send a wash of heat to my core. What I love about them is their wildness. Their strength. Their ability to drive me crazy. And that I can trust them to know what the limits are. “The second one. I want to remember what I have to come back to. I mean, if you’ve got it in you.”
Maybe I shouldn’t sound like I’m daring them.
Riptide grabs me from behind and flips me around. I land on all fours, facing him. “Yeah, is that what you want?”
“If you’re going away, I’m gonna fucking take all I can get, honey. Hope you’re ready for that.” Mad Dog presses up against my ass, reaching around to undo my pants.
Rebel chuckles as he starts taking off his shirt. “You okay?”
“Stop asking,” I whine. “I want you, all of you. And I need you to drive me so crazy that I forget about everything that’s going on right now. Can you do that or not?”
Mad Dog smacks my butt. “You bet your fucking ass we will.”
Never imply bikers aren’t moving fast enough unless you’re willing to get tossed around like a rag doll.
I laugh as my clothes go flying piece by piece. It’s hard to tell whose hands are doing what. All I know is that a few moments later, I’m completely naked, and surrounded by three equally naked men.
