Kylo
It was so damn hard to not rip the towel off of her and explore everything we so clearly both wanted right now. My cock was straining so fucking hard in my wet pants, not even the bite of cold could douse it. Yes, I wanted to take things further and see her perfect breasts bouncing as she rode my cock, but my erection was from the way she’d screamed my name with her orgasm.
The sound stoked my confidence and emboldened me to see how many times in a row I could make her come until I had learned every little thing that made her body writhe for me. She’d scream my name until I could commit the way it sounded to my memory, so that when I fell asleep at night I could relive it all over again.
There was no denying that I loved the fact she had never been touched by another, as well. It wasn’t because she had to be a virgin for us—because I would love her even if she wasn’t—it was the fact that no one else was worthy of touching her like that.
Her heart and body were a gift, and I was honored to hold both in my hands. I knew my brothers and I would worship every facet of her the way she deserved.
Realizing my grip on her hips was way too hard, I relented and took a step back, closing my eyes and taking a centering breath.
There was so much we needed to talk about that kept getting put off, and I couldn’t be the reason that happened again. Our lives couldn’t revolve around my wants right now, and I knew it wouldn’t be long before Lucien broke the fucking door down anyways.
Lucien had been practically pacing a hole in the floor when Elwin was in the room with her, and I knew he’d need to see her soon to calm down. There was only so much Elwin or I could do for him. I’d helped Victoria bring all the supplies in and distributed them to the different bedrooms in the house, besides the clothes for Alexandra. Those were all waiting in the living room for her until she and Elwin were done and we could access her closet.
Right as I’d decided to back off, her stomach let out a rumbling gurgle, making us both laugh at how damn loud it was.
“Let’s go join the others and get some food for you,” I suggested, holding my hand out for her, accepting that we had our entire lives ahead of us to enjoy each other. There was no way I was going to rush the things I had planned for her body.
As she placed her small hand in mine, I reveled in the beauty of this delicate woman who had claimed our souls. I’d say our hearts, but I had a feeling that wasn’t what we possessed. It felt right to say she was our soulmate instead. It was the only way to describe the way in which we challenged each other and brought the best out of each other.
Opening the door of her ensuite bathroom, I wasn’t shocked to see Lucien laying on his back, splayed out like roadkill on the bed. Meanwhile, Elwin was making trips back and forth with her clothes, hanging them up in the large walk-in closet.
“What are all of those?” she asked curiously as she squeezed around me to see better.
At the sound of her voice, Lucien bolted up and grabbed her from her spot next to the bed. “Fuck, angel. You scared the shit out of me. Don’t do that again,” he scolded as he tucked her firmly against his chest, resting his head on top of hers.
Her words were muffled, but I still heard them, and they squeezed at my heart.
“I’m sorry I scared you, but I’m okay now.”
She was apologizing to him, despite it being out of her control, just because she hated to see him worked up like this. Seeing the way she handled each of us, knowing our needs and flaws, was something else. There was no one out there who could love us the way she did.
“Make sure she gets some clothes on,” I directed towards Lucien as he flicked his gaze up to mine. They had already changed clothes, and I needed to run and do the same.
“Yes, sir,” Lucien grunted before mock saluting me with two fingers and smirking.
That little devil was in no rush to do that, not that I could blame him.
“Let’s meet in the kitchen in five,” I suggested, swinging my gaze to Elwin, who appeared from the closet.
He nodded, and Alexandra squeezed an arm up between Lucien and her, giving me a thumbs up and calling out, “I’ll be there, demanding and hungry stomach and all.”
Knowing Lucien would put her needs above his, I was certain he would make sure she got food now that she’d mentioned that. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if he found a way to have a five-course meal in front of her before I came back down from my room.
As I passed through the kitchen towards the stairs that led to the three bedrooms on the second floor, I glanced out the large windows that led out to a patio and pool space. The sun was gone, leaving the glow of the moon glistening against the glassy water.
I was shocked at being given this beautiful space here. It was big enough for us all to have our own bedrooms, despite the fact it wasn’t needed. Thankfully, the beds here were all massive in comparison to the one in Alexandra’s previous room. It would be much more comfortable when we inevitably crammed into one bed at night, no matter the room it happened in.
Taking the steps two at a time, I took the first right and dug around in the sleek black dresser. Victoria hadn’t been joking around when she said the school would provide everything we needed. Boxes upon boxes had arrived with her, each with our names written on them.
As I pulled out a pair of boxer briefs and a pair of athletic shorts, my skin shivered at the thought of someone sizing us up. When I had asked how they knew our sizes, she’d simply wiggled her fingers around and whispered, “Magic.”
It was weird for underwear to be picked out by someone else, but beggars couldn’t be choosers, and I appreciated them for providing what we needed.
Picking up my wet joggers, I tossed them into the beige laundry basket next to the dresser and ran back down the steps.
Unsurprisingly, Alexandra was already settled into a barstool at the kitchen island as Elwin and Lucien pulled out ingredients from the fridge and cabinets. Eyeing her large black shirt, I was confused as to where it had come from, seeing as I hadn’t seen it in her boxes.
