Chapter 15 #2
“I didn’t want your come leaking all over the place, so I ninjaed myself into the bathroom.”
“Is that what you call it?”
“Yes.” I start peeing. This should be awkward for me, but it feels so natural. “You probably didn’t even see me because I moved so quickly.”
He takes the small towel in his hand and rubs it through his hair. “I was getting you a towel. They didn’t have any in here, so I had to go to the other bathroom. When I got back in the hall, I saw…” he shakes his head, chuckling. “You.” He struggles for the words to describe me.
I stand up, wiping several times. “You have a lot of come.”
He throws the towel at my face and walks away.
I’m still laughing when I go back into his room a moment later. “I have nothing to wear.”
“What you’re wearing is fine.” He zips up his suitcase.
“I’m naked,” I retort.
“I see no problem with that.” He sets his suitcase on the floor.
I tilt my head to the side. “So you won’t mind everyone at the airport seeing me naked?”
His eyes narrow into thin slits as he stomps across the room in two steps. He uses his two fingers to lift my chin. “You’re our little bunny and no one else’s. If another man sees your naked body, I will cut his eyes out and serve them to him on a fucking platter.”
A puff of air escapes as a wave of passion and desire pulses through me.
“Is it safe to approach?” Emmett asks from down the hall.
We slowly turn our heads to look at him, and Callum drops his hand. “All good. I was just reminding her who she belongs to.”
Pressing my hand against his chest, I push him away. “I don’t belong to anyone but myself.” I walk down the hall, but not before Callum reaches out and slaps my ass.
“You can belong to you, but that ass is mine.”
“Nope. It’s mine,” Emmett says, grabbing it. When I try to reach for my clothes, he holds them just out of reach with a mischievous grin. “I dried them for you while you were… showering. Or whatever you were doing.” He smirks.
I grab under his chin and stand on my tiptoes to give him a kiss. “Thank you.”
I slip on my underwear, bra, and dress in the middle of the hall and pause for a second.
Never in a million years would I have ever thought I’d be in a relationship with four men at the same time.
I’m still getting used to the idea of this lifestyle and occasionally it catches me off guard. But damn, is it great!
I follow Emmett and Callum downstairs. “Your brother just dropped off your suitcase, so we can leave whenever you’re ready,” Emmett calls over his shoulder.
“Nice shower?” Jax asks, walking through the room, letting his hand glide from one side of my waist to the other.
“It was great.”
My phone dings.
Beckett.
I roll my eyes before I even open his message because I know it’s going to be some smart-ass comment.
Beckett: Have a safe flight.
Everlee: That’s it?
Beckett: I love you? When did you get so needy and sentimental?
Beckett: I would have thought those boys took care of that.
Everlee: There it is. I was waiting for some smart-ass comment.
Beckett: Glad I could oblige.
Everlee: How’s Will?
Beckett: What do you mean?
Everlee: Seems like you two were cozy in the back.
Beckett: You mean when you were straddling Emmett while making eyes at Jax?
Everlee: Because your stupid ass almost gave me hypothermia.
Beckett: Hypothermia, schmipopermia.
Everlee: Bye.
Everlee: And love you too.
Beckett: Use protection.
Everlee: You too!
Beckett: Everlee!
Everlee: You and Will need to come see me sometime.
Everlee: And bye for real this time.
Everlee: We’re headed to the airport.
“Everything okay?” Emmett asks.
“Yes, Beckett being Beckett.”
“He and Will seemed to be getting along.”
“That’s what I said, but he won’t admit they’re dating or anything more than buddies.”
“He seems to have his theories about us.”
“Well, it didn’t help you undressed her, then had her straddle you in the car,” Callum says, walking back in.
“Please. He already knew or had his thoughts, and she was a fucking ice cube. Sorry, not sorry. She’s more important than keeping this secret.”
I pat him on the chest. “Aww, boo boo.” I feel a brief pang of guilt using Lizzy’s name on him, but what he says gives me all the feels. I look over at Callum. “He’s the male version of Lizzy.”
“Shit.”
“Yeah. Plus, he doesn’t care. I can have him sign an NDA or something if you want.”
Callum looks at Jax, who shrugs. “We’ll wait and see what happens.”
“With?” I ask hesitantly, nervous of the answer. Is that a we’ll see what happens with our relationship?
I must have a certain look on my face, because seconds later, all four guys are shoulder to shoulder, surrounding me. I turn in a circle, looking at them, confused, but also smiling.
Jax grabs under my chin. “Not with you. You are ours.”
Callum spins me around so I’m facing him. “You’re never leaving us again.”
Knox grabs me. “And if you even think about leaving-”
Emmett spins me around so I’m facing him. “We’ll burn down the world to find you.”
Knox spins me back around to face him, my head woozy from the spinning and their words. “But not in a creepy way.” He smiles before he boops me playfully on the nose.
Jax huffs, and Knox defends, “What? It sounded a little creepy.” He imitates in a deep, robotic, caveman-like voice. “You shall not leave. We will burn world to find you.”
My insides get all oooey gooey. “Let’s go home.”
