"Shower," I rasped when oxygen finally returned to my brain, my voice scraped raw from screaming. “Toilet first. I can’t fight for my life with a UTI.”
Hael laughed. “That sounds good.”
“It does. But I need you to carry me …” I trailed off when I was met with a barrage of deep male satisfaction. “Hael, take me back to the shower.” I quickly changed my tune, but it was hard to be commanding when your voice sounded as if you’d had back-to-back smokes—which would be fitting right then.
“As you wish.” He obliged without giving me shit, lifting me into his arms with ease. I laid my head on his sweaty shoulder, smiling victoriously when Rafe and Eryx followed.
He deposited me on the toilet and kindly ushered the other two out so that I could handle girl things in peace.
“Finished!” I called out, giggling when they swept right back in and Hael scooped me into his arms again. Dainty I was, damsel I was not, but a girl could get used to this queen treatment.
The shower was still steamy, the water cascading down on us as we cleaned up. Eryx reached for a washcloth, gently scrubbing my body, starting with my breasts and working his way down. His touch was gentle, yet firm, and I could feel the desire still coursing through him.
Hael took over, his hands caressing my skin as he cleaned me. The warmth of his fingers felt amazing on my sensitive flesh. I closed my eyes, enjoying the sensation.
Rafe joined in, rinsing me off with his strong arms wrapped around me.
There wasn’t a lick of awkwardness between the three of them, as if they’d been meant to do this together all along. We finished showering, me leaning against the wall while they washed themselves, enjoying the view.
When we were done, Hael wrapped me in a towel before doing the same for himself, and I smiled up at him. “I found you clothes. Sweats, for comfort,” he explained with a cocky smirk.
I nodded, appreciating his thoughtfulness.
“It’s your fault. I feel like a balloon down there,” I accused, still feeling the lingering sensation of them inside me. It was a strange mix of fullness and emptiness—and an onsetting soreness I knew was going to be a real bitch.
“You should,” Eryx said, catching my eye in the mirror. “You asked for it, after all.”
“And I will ask for it again,” I retorted, a playful grin on my lips.
Rafe chuckled, running a hand through his messy blonde hair. “We’ll give you more, but we’ve got to make sure you’re ready for it.”
“Always ready,” I assured him.
As we dressed, the air was filled with easy silence, my mind still reeling from the experience. It was more than just sex; it was an unspoken connection that left me wanting more. And there was still so much more to discover.
I wanted to know all there was to know about these men, to experience what they had to offer, beyond exploring every inch of their bodies,
We returned to the bedroom after I did battle with my hair using a comb. “I want the least wet spot,” I demanded.
Rafe laughed and drew the entire duvet off, revealing a lighter, not quite as drenched blanket beneath.
“You got it,” Hael obliged like the amazing guy he was.
I climbed onto the dryer blanket with a satisfied smile. “But you’re sure you don’t want to sleep alone?”
Eryx blinked as if just realizing something. “If you need space, you can tell us. I’ll sleep outside your door.”
“Just give me one of those pillows and I’m good right here on the floor,” Rafe added.
I raised my brows and stared at them. “First of all, you know better, Mr. Sinclair. Get your ass in this bed. Second of all, I have no issue communicating my needs. If I want space, you’ll know. Hungry, horny, or both at once, you’ll know. Right now, I would like if someone went and told Aisha she can sleep on the pull-out sofa over there, and then get in this bed with me, too.”
“Well, that’s that then,” Eryx said, giving in. “I’ll talk to Aisha.”
As he walked out of the room to fetch my best friend for our temporary sleepover, the three of us settled in for the night. Hael took the spot on my right, and Rafe on my left. When Eryx returned with not just Aisha, but Liam and Maya as well, my best friend didn’t so much as bat an eye. Maya gave me a surprised look but grinned with a thumbs up.
Eryx claimed his place on the bed only after barricading our door and doing another sweep, finding room for himself without stealing too much of my blanket. I couldn’t help but smile as I drifted off.
