***Ella***

I watched the guys strip down to their boxer briefs and climb into the hot tub while I shivered from the cold. The hot tub seemed like a good idea when I wasn’t standing on the back porch with an icy breeze chilling me to the bone. The only thing that motivated me to pull my clothes off was the vision of the guys and their bare chests.

Stripping down to just my panties, I quickly climbed into the tub and sank down to my neck. The water melted me and I groaned out loud. “Oh, my god. That’s heaven.”

Fisher was closest to me and he took advantage of it by pulling me into his lap. He wrapped his arms around my stomach and nuzzled his mouth against my neck. “That’s a sight I’ll play over and over again in my head for the rest of my life. Your body is beautiful, Ella Rae.”

I shivered and tried to sink lower into the water. “My body is freezing cold. Am I an idiot?”

He grunted. “Well. You’re here with us, so…maybe?”

I laughed and then locked eyes with Vaughn. “For that, Fisher, I’m leaving you.”

Vaughn let me pull him away from the corner seat he was on and laughed when I took his spot but pulled him back so he was almost sitting in my lap. “This is weird.”

I dug my fingers into his shoulders, doing what I could to loosen him up. He immediately sank farther into me and groaned. Rubbing him until my hands were too cold to keep out of the water, I listened to the sound of his moaning and felt my body responding. “Thanks for driving us.”

He leaned into my chest and gripped the outside of my thighs. “I’m glad you came with us. And that you forgave us.”

“I’m glad you guys showed up for me. The last month has been hard. I missed you so much.” I pressed my cheek to Vaughn’s shoulder. “I don’t know how you three did it, but you made me care about you. So, please never do anything stupid again.”

Booth reached out and ran his thumb over my bottom lip. “Did you mean what you said?”

I knew exactly what he meant. He wanted to know if I loved them. I swallowed my nerves and nodded. “I do love you. Each of you. I didn’t mean to fall for you guys but you’re each so funny and sweet in your own way. You make me feel more like myself than I’ve ever felt before.”

Vaughn stood up and climbed out of the tub. I thought I’d said something wrong but he reached over the side and scooped me up. “Time to figure out the logistics, Ella Rae.”

I shivered as he carried me inside and to the giant shower. While the water warmed up, he put me down on the bathroom counter and the three of them stood in front of me, looking not unlike a pack of hungry wolves.

“I love you. I don’t have the pretty words to explain to you how much right now but I will someday.” Vaughn smiled. “Until then I’ll just have to show you.”

“I love you, too, Ella.” Fisher cupped my face and searched my eyes. “I’m crazy about you. The amount of shit I would do for you to prove it is scary.”

I bit my lip and looked up at him through my lashes. “You don’t need to prove anything. I believe you. The three of you are willing to all be with me selflessly. It would be so easy for you guys to demand that I choose one of you. It would be the expected thing but you guys never made me feel like I had to choose one of you.”

Booth tested the water and edged the other guys out of the way so he could pick me up. He carried me under the stream of hot water and kept me plastered to his chest. “I will never let anything bad happen to you again. I love you and I only ever want to make you happy.”

“I feel so lucky to have you guys.”

Fisher gently took my hair out of its ponytail and tipped my head back so he could wet it. “We have a lot of making up to do.”

I held onto Booth’s neck as Fisher massaged shampoo into my hair, rubbing my scalp as he did. “As much as it pains me to say this when you’re washing my hair for me, you don’t have to make up anything. I forgive you. That’s the end of it.”

Vaughn watched us from the back of the shower. “You should let us make it up to you, Ella Rae. Tonight.”

The way his tone dropped and got all warm made me tingle. I was nodding before I could even think ‘yes’. “Okay. That sounds okay.”

Booth held me the whole time Fisher washed my hair and then Fisher stepped back and let Booth take over washing me. He slowly peeled my panties from my body and took his time stroking every inch of me with his sudsy hands. By the time they were drying me off, I was wetter than ever.

I bit my lip to stop the groan of displeasure from escaping when Booth put me on the counter again instead of carrying me to the bed. I had to grip the counter as they each fussed over me. They brushed my hair and even rolled on my deodorant for me before they each took their time rubbing lotion into my skin.

“Are you trying to kill me?” I was breathless from the nonstop stimulation. “Seriously. I tell you that I love you and then you torture me?”

Vaughn stepped back and smiled at me. There was something hesitant playing in his eyes. “I’m getting up the nerve to pull out my dick in front of my best friends.”

My heart swelled at the vulnerability he was showing. I slipped off the counter and hugged him. “We don’t have to do anything. We can take our time.”

He scoffed. “Fuck that.”

I gasped as he picked me up and carried me to the bedroom. “Okay, then. Pull it out.”

Fisher laughed as Vaughn dropped me on the bed. I went up on my elbows and watched as, one by one, the three of them pushed their wet briefs off. I swallowed audibly as I looked at each of them.

“Okay. I’m realizing just how much penis I’m supposed to take and I’m a little worried.” I sat up and licked my lips. “So, I’m excited about the prospects here. Let me start there. I’m just having some concerns about where you’re going to put all of that.”

Vaughn tugged me over to him and kissed me hard. “One step at a time.”

I opened my mouth to ask him what he meant but he was faster in showing me. I was flat on my back and his face was between my thighs fast enough to make my head spin. My mouth fell open as he stroked his tongue over my clit.
