Page 12 of Their Wicked Secrets: Untouched, Vol 5 of 6

She nods. My chest is wet where her tears land.

“We won’t let anything happen to you,” I say roughly. She’s mine. I’m not about to lose her now.

“Mom left me behind. Why didn’t she take me with her?” Her words are soft, but the hurt is obvious.

I blow out a breath. Jennifer is the best mother any of us have ever met. “Your mom has her reasons, Harper. She loves you and must know this is what’s best for you. She knows we’ll do anything to keep you safe, even defy our own parents.”

She lifts her chin and I look down into her watery brown eyes. “I don’t know how to do this without her.” She swipes at her cheeks. “Obviously I’m not afraid to be alone, but this isn’t like the times she had to work. If I needed her, she would drop everything to be here for me.”

“And she still would.” I brush my thumb across her tears. “If she thought for one second that you needed her, she’d be back here. But you have us.”

“But I do need her.” She tucks her face against my chest and tightens her hold on me. “I can’t do this on my own. She’s my rock.”

I drag in a breath, because we’ve always had to be each other’s rocks. Jack, Eli, Luke, and I. Even Nico.

“You have Kenz, Luke, Eli, Jack, Nico, and me, little nympho.” I kiss the top of her head. “You aren’t alone in this. We’re all here for you. Your mom knows this, and that might be why she felt safe leaving you in our care. Because we’re not going to let anything happen to you on our watch.”

She releases a breath across my bare chest. “I just don’t know who I am without her.”

“You’re the woman she raised you to be. She put every piece of herself into you to make you the strong woman you are now.”

She lets out a derisive chuckle. “I don’t feel strong.”

“You are strong, Harper, and no matter what happens you have us at your back.” I rub her back as she calms down. This is a mess, but Jennifer knows what she’s doing. We’ll keep Harper safe until she gets back and continue protecting our girl from the assholes who think they can use her to destroy us.

They’re not wrong, losing her would destroy us, but they underestimate her and us. She’s not some naive girl. She’s intelligent and kind. Love hasn’t made us weaker. If anything, she’s given us something to fight for.

“Caden?” she says sleepily.

“Yeah?” I breathe in her vanilla scent and let it settle me.

“Tell me something good.” It’s a quiet request.

“Something good?”

She nods. “Like I have you and Kenz and Luke and Eli and Nico and Jack. I’m safe and warm in your arms.”

“You, little nympho. You’re the best thing I’ve ever had.”

Her breathing evens out, but I stay alert for a while, watching over her as she sleeps. Claiming Harper has been the best thing to happen to any of us.

I wake to Harper pressed against me and a hard-on that won’t quit. I nuzzle my face against her neck, and she makes a low moan at the roughness of my morning scruff. If I pushed her onto her back and fucked her awake, she wouldn’t mind.

As tempting as that is, she might be sore. So I roll her under me, careful not to wake her yet. Her pajama top is bunched up and I slide my hand across the bared skin there. Her breath catches slightly, but she doesn’t wake.

I should have stripped her naked when I brought her to bed last night. There’s nothing like sleeping skin to skin and waking with her pressed against me. These thoughts are doing nothing to cool my erection.

I ease my fingers beneath the elastic of her shorts, watching her face carefully. Her legs fall open, like she knows exactly what she wants. I chuckle lowly and slide down to kiss her stomach as I strip her shorts and panties down her legs.

When I look up at her face, she’s still asleep, but her lips are parted. The scent of her arousal always drives me almost feral, and my mouth waters at the thought of tasting her. I toss her pajamas and panties onto the floor, before lifting her knees and opening her up to me.

Her pussy is a fucking work of art I could spend hours studying. But I have better things I can do. I close my mouth over her and rediscover her folds with my tongue, finding those spots that make her twitch and moan as I hold her legs out to the side, leaving her open for me.

I could spend all day between her legs and not come up for air. My cock throbs with the need to fuck her, but it can wait while I sink my tongue into her cunt, thrusting over and over again until she tenses above me with a little whine.

She slips her hand into my hair and holds me there as she works her hips against my face. So fucking sexy. I don’t know how I ever thought I’d let her go. We created her, she’s ours now. No one else gets any part of her.

When I growl against her clit, she moans loud enough to wake the dead as she comes and gushes against my face. I lick and suck her through her release until she tugs at my hair.
