“You have cameras in every room?”
“Paranoid hermit, remember?”
Sean nods. “And you have access to them from anywhere?”
“I can check them on my phone, laptop, or desktop. Why?”
“You know I’m a nosey motherfucker, right?”
“Sean, what are you talking about?”
“Bring the cameras up.” I turn to my desktop and click on the application that will bring them up. Sean comes to stand behind me and starts clicking through them. He stops on one and enlarges it. What I see on the screen makes me flush from head to toe. “Oh my God.” Axel, Cole, and Nolan are completely naked and cuddled in one of the guest rooms. I try to avert my eyes, but they keep getting pulled back to the screen. “We shouldn’t be looking at this.”
Sean snorts. “I see you trying to get a sneaky peek of all that dick.”
“Sean!” I turn around and smack his arm. “I was not!” I cover my red cheeks with my hands. “How did you even see this?”
“Kai and I were in the guard house with Baxter and Roland, checking to make sure all the footage was clear. And well, we stumbled across this incredibly sexy threesome.”
“You mean…they…I…” Sean laughs at my inability to form a complete sentence. “You watched it?”
“We caught the end of it.” He turns my chair back to the monitor and braces his hands on the arms. “You like what you see, Gorgeous?”
“Is this a trick question?”
Sean chuckles. “No. I like what I see. I know what Cole is made of, and I figured Axel was hung like a fucking horse. But Nolan is a surprise.” I never thought of Nolan that way until this second. He’s attractive, yes, but it didn’t go any further. Now, I’m looking at him in a whole new light. He’s not built as solid as the other guys, and I like that about him. He has a thick head of brown hair that spikes in the front and the sweetest light brown eyes. “So, tell me, Gorgeous. Do you like what you see?”
“Yes,” I say huskily. There’s no point in even trying to lie to him. He’ll see it written all over my face. And I know if he’s asking, it’s not a setup so that he can get pissed at me. Axel shifts on the bed, and my eyes are drawn to the way his muscles shift under the skin. He rolls over on his side and buries his face in Nolan’s neck, making Nolan laugh. Nolan looks so content between them, and I get a little pang of jealousy in my chest because that used to be me. I squash it down because I have Sean and Kai by my side now. Cole, Axel, and I are on our way to being friends again. I’m not going to let anything come between us again.
“Do you want that to be you?” Sean asks like he’s reading my thoughts. I twist to look at him over my shoulder, and he’s smiling softly. “I get it, Chelsea. And it’s something that I’ll never be angry about. Neither will Kai.”
I search his face. “You guys have already talked about this, haven’t you?”
Sean walks in front of my chair, plucks me out of it, sits down, and plops me in his lap. He wraps his arms around my waist, and I snuggle into his chest. “We did today. You guys still have a crazy connection, even after six years. We won’t come between that.” He shrugs. “It’s just something for you to think about if the moment presents itself. And it will.”
“You sound so sure.” I gesture to the screen. “They look more than fine to me.”
“They are for now, but there’s something that has been missing for years.” He pecks my lips. “You.”
That thought both excites and terrifies me. Could I really have what I always wanted with Axel and Cole growing up and keep Sean and Kai? That idea forms, and I can feel the rest of my heart being mended together. I’ve missed Axel and Cole so damn much, even when I wouldn’t admit it to myself. I spent years blaming them for what happened to me, and I didn’t stop to think about what they might be going through. I know why Axel killed Cole’s dad, and I wouldn’t change that outcome. I can’t count how many times Axel and I would have to patch Cole up after one of his dad’s many beatings or reset a joint out of place. The only time we couldn’t do anything is when he would actually break one of Cole’s bones. I know the local hospital knew Cole’s dad was full of shit with his stories on how they happened, but they never did anything about it. No one did. Until Axel did it himself. Axel and I didn’t have it easy, but Cole always had it the worst.
“I’m scared,” I admit.
“I know you are, Gorgeous. But look how far you’ve come with Kai and me. Don’t let fear make you miss out on something special.”
“How are you so perfect?”
“I’m not perfect,” Sean laughs. “But I want you to have everything out of this life. Even if that includes Cole and Axel.” He pecks my cheek. “And Nolan.”
“Nolan?”
Sean shrugs. “If that’s something you both want. We’ve had some hard times lately, but we’re all a family. Plus, look at what he’s been hiding in his pants.”
“Sean!” I laugh. “We’re invading their privacy.”
Sean starts searching on the keyboard, and when he grins, I know what he’s about to do. He stabs a button for the intercom. “Well, well, well. Look at you three sexy motherfuckers. Nolan, nice cock.” I clap a hand over my mouth so they don’t hear me laugh.
“Fuck off, Sean,” Axel grumbles. “Are you spying on us?”
