Someone lifts me from where I kneel on the bed, cutting me off abruptly.

I wrap my legs around them and let them pull me to them. Who? Who knows? Another moves in so fast and takes my mouth in a kiss so delicious I can’t find it in me to lift my eyelids. There is no way I will break the spell that has fallen over us. A hand claims my chin, and another takes my mouth. This one is gentle. He takes his time to savor our moment and so do I. My fingers glide into his thick hair. Light stubble drags across the soft skin of my chin.

Delicious, I find myself thinking when I’m passed to another.

Hands roam. Mine and theirs. Warm lips curl around a hard nipple and I break my kiss to find Emilio sucking me through the thin silk of my dress. Pleasure sends my eyes rolling. My entire world is not tilting anymore. It is flat out rolling downhill at a life-altering speed.

“Come,” his friend with the dark brown eyes quietly commands with a husk of arousal.

I could. My body already pulsates with a building release. It wouldn’t take much for me to find my release under their attention.

“Hold her close, Stefan.”

I open my eyes to find I’m in the arms of the man with golden eyes the color of heated amber.

Stefan.I mentally repeat his name.

Strong hands grip me through my dress. One by one, each of his fingers dig into the plump flesh of my ass. It’s short enough to not rip when I wrap my legs around his middle. But the material rides up far enough to expose what I have on underneath.

The thick length of his arousal presses against the wet material of my thong.

All three surround me. Our body heat mingles to the point I can’t tell where we stop being one unit.

Brown Eyes takes my face in his hands again, something I am quickly learning he likes to do and draws my attention fully on him.

“Adrian. Let me hear you say my name and then we want to know yours. You know Emilio and Stefan. I don’t want to spend another minute not knowing yours.”

“Adrian.”

I look to Amber Eyes next. “Stefan.”

His slow smile melts me to him.

“And Emilio.”

“Yes, beautiful flower.” He moves in and I take his kiss with renewed hunger.

I don’t know why or how, but their names sound familiar to me. I know for sure I’ve never met them, but I still have a sense of déjà vu.

None of that matters. I push that aside and mentally collect my heart off the floor at the meaning behind Adrian’s softly spoken words. No one besides my sister has cared enough about me to want to know my name. I’m always the baby sister stuck in her room with her shelves of books. It’s no exaggeration either. After our parents died, I buried myself in books and writing. She turned to a life of crime.

And then I got sick. Then there was William.

Ugh. I do not want to go there. I stomp on that memory and try to crush him and his ugly face into a pile of rubble in my mind. Neither have a place in my head tonight. And definitely not in my heart.

I place my hands over Adrian’s, our warmth becoming one. His body is turned into mine though I’m in Stefan’s powerful arms.

I can’t explain it but I feel their names carve into the softness of my heart with every single letter of their names. I swear with every ounce of my being a connection forges between us. I will forever carry these men with me. I can only pray they remember me after tonight.

“Stella,” I offer purposefully leaving off my maiden name. A lot of people recognize Moone and I don’t want to talk about my father, his criminal record or anything else for that matter.

Adrian, the man with the rich black hair and captivating brown eyes takes my hand in his and turns it over. He places a fervent kiss to the center of my palm and from there on out the entire evening is a blur of pleasure.

“Stella suits you beautifully.”

Stefan slowly lowers me to the floor. He takes so much care that he doesn’t fully release his hold on me until I am sitting on the edge of the bed where I am safe.

All three take a step back to discard their shirts and I do nothing but marvel at the sight of them standing fully naked in front of me a moment later. Muscles bulge and ripple. Soft light cascades over us and the shadow play is just right.
