I peered at the door. "It's not like we don't have everything we need, but I'm wondering if Jay and Ramsay are up to anything."
"I was wondering the same thing," Dallas said. "Maybe they’re bringing you the heads of your enemies. That might take some time."
"Especially given we don't know exactly who our enemies are," I agreed.
Honestly, I didn't want a disembodied head, but if it meant this was all over, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Just this once. I would prefer they not make a habit of it.
Jay stepped into the doorway and tapped on the frame. "Hey, would it be too corny if I played you something on my guitar?" He held up his hand, his fingers curled around the neck of his instrument.
"I didn't know you played, but that would be perfect," I said. I should have guessed that was coming next. If not an actual instrument, then speakers and soothing music.
"I'm not the best guitarist in the world." He shrugged, leaned against the vanity, positioned the guitar and started to play the opening chords ofHallelujah. That was followed by a ballad from Wolf Venom, and then one by Ice Blue Roses.
"You're putting me to shame," Ramsey remarked. He'd stepped into the bathroom halfway through the second song. He also carried a guitar.
"I can't help being awesome," Jay said, humble in spite of the words. "Do you know this one?" He played a few chords before raising an eyebrow at Ramsey.
"Course I do." Ramsey leaned against the wall and played the next few chords of what I recognised as an Abbie Hart song.
Jay joined in again and the pair played together, Ramsey singing softly and in key.
"I've never been serenaded before," I said to Dallas.
His body rumbled as he chuckled. "Me either. Especially not while in the bath with a beautiful woman. I think I'll stay here forever."
"Me too." I sipped wine while leaning against him and watching the other guys play.
This was like something out of a dream, or a movie. The whole world melted away and all that was left was us and this moment. Six wonderful guys all working together to make me feel special. Somehow, they all knew what I needed in order to unwind and forget about things for a while.
I couldn't help myself; I fell in love with each of them a little more. Chances were, I’d never fully understand why or how I got so lucky, but I was counting every single blessing. If I could capture this moment in a bottle, I'd keep it close forever. As it was, I savoured it, committing it all to memory, in case everything came crashing down around us tomorrow.
In unison, Jay and Ramsey finished the song and bowed over their guitars.
Careful not to spill my wine in the bath, I clapped. "That was so good. When you finish playing football, maybe you should join a band."
"I've always wanted to be a rock star," Ramsey said wistfully. "But only if you'll go on tour with me. Otherwise, I'll keep my music for times like this."
"What he said," Jay agreed. "It's fun once in a while, but I don't think I want to do it all day. I'll play for you anytime you want me to, though."
"Me too," Ramsey said. To Jay he added, "Any time you want to jam, hit me up. I'm always down for a session."
"I'd like that," Jay said, suddenly looking shy and awkward. "I haven't had anyone to play with for a long time. It's… Kinda… My happy place, you know?"
Ramsey grinned. "Mine too. One of them, anyway. After football and the gym." He lowered his guitar. "I might put this away, the steam isn't good for it."
"Yeah, good idea." Jay followed him out the door, leaving us in silence and the light of a dozen flickering candles.
Chapter Fifteen
Chelsea
I wokelike I often did these days, with Dallas parting my legs and sliding his cock into me. He let out a long breath, his eyes closed against the morning light that peeked through the curtains.
"What would I do without you?" he whispered.
"What would any of us do?" Frost asked from one side of me. He rolled over and kissed his way down from my shoulder to one of my breasts.
"Let's not find out," Storm said. He was on the other side of Frost, his arm draped over his hip, hand hovering near his rapidly growing erection.
