He hums gently, his eyes on me. That calm before the war.
I nod and bite my bottom lip, letting my gaze drift across all four of them.
My men.
The heat moves down my body. It slams into my chest, my ribs, my pulse. I want them.All of them. Now.Before tomorrow steals everything.
I take a step back, heartbeat thundering in my ears. My fingers drift down to the hem of my shirt.
And I pull it over my head.
The air bites at my bare skin, nipples hardening, goosebumps rising.
“Fuck,” Knox grunts.
I smirk, heart pounding, and bend to shove my pants down. I kick them aside and straighten up, completely naked.
Four pairs of eyes on me.
“Oh, sweetheart,” Max growls, licking his lips, jaw tight. “What the fuck are you doing?”
I swallow, trembling but not with fear.
“I want you,” I whisper. “All of you.”
Max
The room’s quiet.
Just breathe, heavy, staggered, and hungry.
The candlelight flickers across the wood-paneled walls, soft shadows that dance over her bare skin.
I glance at Ryker; his cheeks are flushed, lips parted, chest rising fast. Dante’s eyes are locked on her like he’s seconds away from sinking to his knees. And Knox… Knox looks dangerous.
Hands clenched at his sides. Veins bulging. Jaw locked. He’s holding himself back like a wild dog chained too tight. And I know exactly what’s playing in his mind.
None of us move.
She stands in the middle of the room, bathed in firelight, her skin glowing. Her hands ball at her sides, chest rising in shallow breaths. She’s biting her bottom lip, soft and pink.
I step forward, and her breath catches the second I move.
I don’t touch her. Not yet.
I circle her instead, slowly, my eyes trailing down her body like I’m worshiping a Goddess. Every inch of skin. Every scratch and bruise and perfect imperfection.
She’s so fucking beautiful.
“Max?” she whispers.
I stop behind her. Close enough to feel the heat of her skin.
My lips find her ear, and my voice drops. “You sure about this, sweetheart?”
She shivers. I watch her throat bob as she swallows. She’s nervous but nods.
I chuckle low. “Use your words.”
