Page 78 of Sanctuary (The Wanderers 1)

“Get used to it. My greedy cock will always be willing and ready to enter you, but I have the willpower to make sure you come before me, and you will. Always.”

She moaned. His words were filled with conviction. There was no way she could argue with him, and why would she want to? He was promising her the world.

She held his gaze as she let the arousal rise higher and higher, consuming her until it seemed like she might shatter and splinter into a million pieces all over the room.

God, this was amazing. Looking into his eyes as he took her, his erection buried deep. She loved this connection.

He rubbed harder and then pinched her clit. That was all it took. She cried out as she came, her channel pulsing around his engorged shaft.

It was heaven, and it left her with barely enough energy to lift up and down, but she did because she wanted to know what it would feel like to make him come with her vaginal walls clamping down on him.

Moments later, his eyes rolled back, and she read that as a sign that she should thrust down one last time and let him ride the waves of his release deep inside her.

Nothing was more beautiful than watching her men come, pure bliss on their faces.

When he was spent, she rose off him, wincing enough that he frowned. “That’s it for you for today, hon. You need to heal.” He slid off the side of the bed, lifted her into his arms, and carried her out of the bedroom and into the bathroom, not letting her down until they were standing next to the shower.

Someone else turned the spray on, and she twisted her head to find Nile holding his hand under the stream of water. He was naked, and from his expression, he’d come a few moments ago too.

Thank God none of them minded taking care of themselves while they watched because no matter how much energy and determination she had, she’d never be able to give them each quality time every single day.

For the next hour, the men doted on her, taking turns shuffling her between them. Nile washed her. Ledger dried her. Jay slid a shirt over her head. Gatlin straightened her bed so that it was no longer a jumble of sheets and blankets.

She sat on Jay’s lap while they watched an old movie that afternoon and snuggled up next to Nile while they ate their evening meal in the privacy of their apartment. Gatlin had been thoughtful enough to go retrieve food from the cafeteria.

When it was time to sleep, they offered to let her sleep alone in peace, concerned they were hovering too much, but she turned them down, and in the end, Nile and Ledger joined her in what had been declared her room.

That worked out perfectly because eight hours later she woke them both up to the feel of her lips circling their cocks, switching back and forth between them until she made them both come against the back of her throat.

By the time they all emerged to resume their jobs and start the first day of their new officially combined lives, Layla was so happy she couldn’t stop grinning.

It was weird walking away from them to head for the agriculture department at the other side of the compound. It was nerve-wracking knowing at least two of them would be leaving the compound entirely to make a run and pick up someone new from one of the outposts.

There would always be danger and uncertainty in their lives. It was unavoidable. But there would also be love and commitment and strength in knowing that eventually, they would all come back together to recreate the slice of heaven she knew she would always find in their arms.

She missed her parents terribly, and she always would, but finding The Wanderers was a godsend that saved her life and her sister’s. Thank God her parents had given them the information to make this connection and the skills to survive until they could arrive.

As Layla headed toward the agriculture department, she knew she was practically skipping. There was a permanent smile on her face, and her skin was glowing.

When she reached that end of the compound, she hesitated for a moment, hearing voices inside, arguing. She gave them about two seconds before barging into the room, hands on her hips. It was time for her to have a head-to-head with two very stubborn men.

She glanced from Stuart to Tarin and shook her head. “You two better find a way to put your differences aside and get along if you have any hope of winning my sister over. She may be young and quieter than me, but she’s got a spine. She trained alongside me all of our lives. She has a determination in her that far outweighs her age. If you want a chance with her, I suggest you work through whatever happened in the past to piss each other off and fast. I’d do it before you approach her, or she’s liable to tell you both to take a hike and find a family unit to spend time with that isn’t always bickering.”

Tarin swallowed as he glanced down at his feet.

Stuart opened his mouth to speak and then seemed to think better of it and clamped his lips closed. “Layla…” he finally murmured. “Shit. We didn’t mean for you to hear us arguing.”

“Of course, you didn’t, but it’s not exactly a surprise. The tension between the two of you is obvious to everyone who comes into contact with you. And that includes Ariel.” She lifted a brow.

Tarin sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “I’m sorry, Layla.”

She shrugged and walked right past them, heading for her station. “No need to apologize. I’m just warning you. Fix this fast or miss out. Your choice.”

Yeah, Layla had grown bolder in the last twenty-four hours. Not that she’d ever been weak, but now she was far more certain of a lot of things. One of them was that life was too short to waste time.

She could only hope her warning didn’t fall on deaf ears because Tarin and Stuart weren’t the ones she cared about in this arrangement. She knew Ariel had her sights on both of them. It was Ariel’s feelings Layla was concerned with, and for her sister’s sake, Layla hoped to God these two men would find a way to set their differences aside and come together.

She was still grinning as she took her seat, grateful that no one could see her face. She had a lot to be happy about and she was so thankful for so many things.
