Page 40 of My Ex's Roommates
Dylan stroked the hair out of her face. “And me.”
When those tear-filled hazel eyes turned on me I just smiled. “You have me, too, princess.”
36.
***Harper***
“I’m so embarrassed.” Those were the first words I spoke the next morning when I woke up in a human dog pile of naked men. I felt one of them tighten their grip on my ass and groaned. I was sore. Sore in a way that I’d never known sex could leave me.
Dylan lifted his head from my chest and the sight of his messy hair and sleepy eyes hit me dead in the chest. “You better not be having second thoughts. Not after we pledged our bodies to you for as long as you want them.”
I laughed and stroked his cheek. “No second thoughts. I’m just embarrassed that I cried after sex. That’s so lame.”
Carter’s head was on my thigh and he didn’t seem motivated to move anytime soon. “We weren’t easy on you, Harper. It was intense. I think I saw Silas crying, too.”
Silas grumbled from behind me. “Everyone who isn’t Harper needs to shut the fuck up. I’m trying to sleep.”
I grinned. “You don’t need me to shut the fuck up?”
He nipped at the back of my neck. “No, you’re special. You can talk. They can’t.”
“It’smyroom.” Dylan rolled his eyes but he was still smiling as he watched me. “You’re beautiful, Harper.”
I blushed, which was ridiculous after all we’d done the night before. “So are you.”
Silas lifted his head and I knew he was going to take his shot to mess with Dylan. “Aww, Dylan, you’re beautiful.”
Carter planted a kiss right over my sex and then stood up, as naked as the day he was born without an ounce of shame as he stretched. “We’re going to need to work on a sleeping plan. These beds aren’t meant for three big men to share. I wonder how soon I could get a custom bed delivered. Something big enough for all of us but also maybe something we can pull up to separate Silas away when he’s moody.”
I watched him stretching and then his words filtered through my groggy, sex hazy brain. “Did you just say you’re going to order a custom bed?”
He shrugged. “I have the money and I like to be comfortable. Why not order a custom bed?”
“Is he for real?” I could tell by the looks on Dylan and Silas’ faces that he was. “Carter, don’t waste your money. This is fine. I kind of liked waking up in a pile of men.”
“Onlythesemen.” Silas groaned and rolled over to grab his phone. “What time is it? This is awful.”
Something about the ease that they were talking aboutusmade me giddy. I felt ridiculously happy just listening to them grunt at each other. I decided that I wanted a snapshot of the moment, something I could always have, even if things fell apart. I wanted to remember the feeling I had in that moment, theexcitement for whatever came next. I really wanted to remember that I’d been myself to get there. Not the Stepford wife version of me, but just me.
“Let me see your phone?”
Silas handed it to me without any hesitation, something else that made me want to kiss him. Jake would’ve never. I pulled up the camera and looked at Carter. “Come here. I want a picture.”
Silas rolled into me, hands settling on my body eagerly. “I didn’t expect you to be into-”
“I just want a selfie, Silas.” I laughed and shook my head. “Never in a million years would I chance the image of my body gyrating around being seen. No, thank you.”
“I happen to think it’s pretty hot.” Dylan pressed a kiss to my jaw and then got into frame for the picture.
We all shoved in, with plenty of complaining from Silas, but I got the picture I wanted. The four of us looked happy. Thoroughly rumpled, but so happy. I ran my finger over the screen and then sent myself a copy. “It’s perfect.”
“Okay, now I need the two of you who aren’t Harper to go away.” Silas threw his arm over my waist and pressed his face into my back.
“Again. It’smyroom.”
Silas let out a deep laugh. “We share now, Dylan.”
I made him unhappy by sitting up and tugging the blanket up with me to cover my naked body. “I know I already said it but I’m really proud of y’all. That game was amazing. I’m surprised the cops didn’t get called here for a noise complaint. I lost my shit. And then my brothers called and they were losing their shit, too. They never did that when Jake was playing. Not once.”
