Marcos’s fingers tightened around mine. He leaned in close to my face. “I love you with everything that I am, Maya. You are the light of my life. My reason for living.”
I smile sleepily and let go of his hand to cup the side of his face. I pull him into a passionate kiss. “I never stopped loving you, Marcos. Any of you. You’re mine.” I kissed him again.
Marcos pulled away after a moment, giving me another peck to the lips before he laid back down.
Jason tilted my head up on his shoulder so I’d look up at him. “I love you too, Darlin’. More than life itself.” He kissed me deeply.
“I love you too,” I murmured as we broke apart.
I laid my head back on Jason’s shoulder when Nico pressed a soft kiss to the middle of my back. “Love you, Little Dreamer.”
I smiled and closed my eyes. A feeling of deep contentment washed over me.
I had my guys. I was home. I was safe.
Maya
Intheweeksincewe finally slept together, it was like the flood gates had been opened on our sex life. Every night after Luke went to bed, they were on me. Or I was on one of them, or sandwiched between two of them.
It quickly became one of the best weeks of my life. Luke even commented that I seemed happier. And I was. Life was great. I was getting stronger every day. My therapist mentioned that we could drop down to once-a-week sessions, and I didn’t freak out.
Luke was doing well in school. He was going to his weekly therapy sessions and training for his upcoming competition.
Things felt almost back to normal.
Dax Hillcrest was still a lingering threat, but he was lying low.
I knew Marcos and the guys were still digging into him, still had people searching for him, but I didn’t want to know. I needed to take a break from some of that worry.
My guys must have had the same idea, because they booked me a weekend getaway at the local spa hotel. They didn’t just book it for me; they also invited all of my girlfriends.
I was shocked when they dropped me off at the hotel and I saw Kara, Slade, Stephanie, and Karma. I screamed and practically threw myself out of the car to tackle Stephanie and Karma. Life made seeing them so hard sometimes. “I missed you!” I hugged them both tightly. I kept in touch with my girls after all these years, but it had been about a year since I’d seen them last.
They were both crying as they hugged me tightly. Slade and Kara joined us, forming a group hug. “I fucking missed you guys, so much.” I wiped my tears away as I pulled back to look at my girls. It had been a decade since the four of us—Kara, Stephanie, and Karma—had hung out together. Slade might not have gone to college with us, but she tattooed all my friends and I grew up with her. It was going to be a fantastic weekend with the five us together.
I turned away from the girls to look back at Marcos’s truck, where all my guys, Luke included, were watching me. “Luke, come say hi!” I waved him over.
He enthusiastically jumped out of the truck and threw himself at the ladies. Slade grabbed him up first, hugging him tightly, before Stephanie and Karma also moved in. “Damn, I missed you, kid,” Karma grinned.
“Same! How’s Uncle Turo?” Luke asked about Arturo, Karma’s husband.
“He’s good. He’s gonna be upset he missed you.” Karma ruffled Luke’s hair.
“You guys will have to come out and see the new house. I’m gonna do Luke’s birthday party at home. He wants a Halloween themed party,” I said.
“Hell yeah, little dude. We’ll be there,” Karma grinned. Her and Luke do some overly elaborate handshake that they’ve been doing for years.
I laughed and shook my head. I walked over to the truck where the guys were standing to say goodbye. “Are you sure this is safe?” I asked again.
“Yeah, Little Dreamer. Trust me, we’ve got it covered,” Nico said, tucking my hair behind my ear.
“Let me guess, this is one of Leo’s places?” I smirked.
“Nah, it’s Tino’s.” Nico chuckled. He kissed me softly then stepped away so Jason could move in.
Jason gripped my jaw and placed a gentle kiss to my lips. “Have fun.”
“Thank you,” I murmured against his lips.
