Chapter 33
The Acceptable Loss
Caden
The drive to my house is short. Luke and I are in Harper’s little car. Last night, Nico drove us to her house so our cars wouldn’t be in the driveway. That would have been pushing it with Harper’s mother.
Harper’s been quiet since the Cheermonsters tried to assert their dominance again. Fuck those chicks. They need to be knocked down a peg.
“I don’t see why I couldn’t drive my own car.” Harper sits with her arms crossed in the backseat.
I chuckle and glance at her in the rearview mirror. “I’m being chivalrous. Luke’s being an ass since he called shotgun.”
“Fuck off.” He’s been a little pissed since last night when I cockblocked him. But he had to know it wasn’t the right time. Fuck, after hearing my sister’s story and his father’s interrogation, our girl was traumatized. She wasn’t in the right place to lose it.
She’s definitely getting there though.
I want her writhing in pleasure, which she was, but there was a sad edge to last night that seems to have cleared this morning. Not going to get my hopes up, but the way she looked at me in the restaurant, like she was really seeing me, made my chest puff up a little more.
When I pull into the driveway, three other cars pull in behind me. Eager little bastards all of them. Not that I blame them. They didn’t get a taste of our girl last night. I could use another taste of our girl.
Opening my door, I get out and open Harper’s. She steps out and stands in front of me. A thoughtful look of determination on her face as she looks at me. She doesn’t say a word, but her lips part and that flush works its way up her neck.
She’s gorgeous when she gets turned on. Even more so when it’s me who turns her on.
I press her up against the side of the car, grab the back of her neck, and claim her mouth.
She arches into me and opens beneath my lips.
I’m fighting a losing battle when it comes to her.
I know we should wait, give her space and time to adjust to us.
But when she’s in my arms, my brain isn’t the thing that’s working hardest to get my attention.
Dipping down, I grab under her knees to lift her up against me, pressing my cock against her pussy. She’s wearing jeans again. If I had my way, she’d wear nothing but skirts, so I could just thrust deep into her whenever the mood struck.
The way she clenches around my fingers when I’m buried deep in her pussy… Fuck, I need to feel her around my cock. Her mouth is divine, but I’d prefer to fuck her cunt.
Her fingers dig into my hair and tug lightly. I’m going to need her to suck me off or to take a cold shower. But I don’t want to relinquish her mouth quite yet.
We all stole a mint on the way out of the diner. So she tastes fresh and sweet. Last night, it damn near killed me to let her chase her pleasure on me. Her pussy hot and wet dragging over my cock. It took all my willpower not to flip her under me and give her exactly what she needs.
Fuck me. I need her.
“Caden?” she whispers as she pulls away and presses her forehead against mine. She opens her dark brown eyes, and my heartbeat stops for a second. Passion dilates her eyes, making them look like deep abysses. I want nothing more than to dive in and drown in her.
“Yeah, little nympho?” I rub my nose against hers as I grind my cock between her legs. So much better without the jeans in the way.
“Can we continue this inside?” She leans in and kisses me, running her tongue along my bottom lip. Her eyes open and meet mine. “In your bedroom.”
Hell yes. I hold her tight against me, refusing to put her down. She wraps her legs and arms around me as I walk to the back of the house with four shadows following close behind. If my little nympho wants to play games, I’m all for it.
We walk through the lower level and the dark hallway. We don’t pass anyone on the way to my bedroom, but I know they’re there. The household staff my parents pay to watch over me.
My parents don’t assert their will on me very often, but they keep track of all the comings and goings. By now my father knows a girl has been present and four of my friends have stayed at my house with me and the girl.
I don’t give a fuck what my parents think. They can think whatever they want. They don’t matter, but as I push in the door to my room, the only thing that does matter is the girl currently clinging to my body.
And how I’m going to get her off this time.
Harper
Caden sets me down, and I step away, needing to catch my breath. That kiss only solidified my decision. My panties are damp, and this buzzing sensation lives under my skin, needing more.
Jack flops down on the bed behind me. Eli leans against the couch. Nico sits on the arm of a chair. Luke crosses his arms and leans against the closed door. They’re all hot and so focused on me.
“Umm.” I twist my hands in front of me, suddenly nervous about what I want to tell them. Worried about their reactions. What if they decide they don’t want to do this all together? What if they’re upset I didn’t choose them? What if Luke gets angry and leaves?
It wouldn’t be the same without him. It wouldn’t be the same without all of them.
Luke must sense my drowning. He drops his arms and strides over to me. Cupping my cheek, he tilts my face up to his.
“What do you want, princess? Anything you want, we’ll give it to you.” His thumb brushes over my lower lip, and my lips part on an exhale. This hum of energy vibrates beneath my skin, so in tune with these guys.
This seemed so easy in my head. I glance at the others, watching me with curiosity. I don’t want to tell them my reasons for choosing Caden over them, but maybe I can make them understand how much I want them all.
I swallow. “I don’t want to be a virgin anymore.”
“If this is because of what those girls said—” Nico stands, ready to fight for my honor. My heart thumps a little harder for him.
Shaking my head, I smile. “It’s not about them. It’s about us. All of us.”
I hope Luke can see what I need in my eyes, like he always does.
His face softens. “You’ve made a choice?”
I nod and swallow at the thickening in my throat. “All my firsts are gone except two. I’m sure we’ll get to the other one, but I’m ready to give the first one.”
Luke steps in closer, and I put a hand against his chest, not to stop him but to finish what I have to say. If he puts his hands on me more, I’ll succumb to my desire.
“I want to have all of you, but someone has to go first.” A lump forms in my throat as I meet Luke’s eyes. I don’t want him to be mad at me, but I have to go with my heart on this one.
I feel a connection to each of them, but there’s one connection that’s been stronger than the others. One that’s growing into something I never expected.
“Who did you choose, princess?” Luke brushes my hair behind my ear, sending pleasure spiraling through me.
“Caden.” My gaze finds those green eyes wide and shocked. He looks shell-shocked, like he can’t believe I chose him, which makes me glad I did. I give him a smile.
“I’m honored, little nympho, but fuck…” Caden’s hand digs through his hair as he steps toward me, closing in on me and Luke. “I know what I said the other day, but I knew you weren’t ready. What if I hurt you?”
I shrug. “It might hurt with anyone. It might not. You’ve had other virgins—”
He shakes his head. “No, I’ve aided Jack in devirginizing women, but I’ve never taken anyone’s.”
Okay, that surprises me. My mouth drops open, but Luke tips my chin up, capturing my eyes. He searches them for several seconds before he nods slightly.
“We’re all here for it.” He strokes his thumb across my cheek.
I glance at Caden, who still looks worried. I admit, “I want you all. All of you to be a part of it, like everything we do.”
Eli moves to join us. His hand claps on Caden’s shoulder. “If we get her ready, it will be easier.”
“Especially if she has a few orgasms first.” Nico gives me a nod as he joins us, like he understands my thinking. His words make me burn. They’ve all made me climax, and the anticipation of more orgasms makes me squirm.
Jack steps behind me. The crisp scent of apple joining the combination of scents from the guys. His hands curl around my hips as he draws me back against him. “We could spend all day getting her ready to be fucked.”
Leaning into Jack, I glance back at him, but his eyes are on Caden.
“We won’t let you hurt her,” Jack promises.
Someone has to take charge, and I know it won’t be me. My gaze returns to Luke, and I give him a pleading look.
He steps into me, trapping me against Jack’s body. “Once he’s done, we’ll all claim you, princess.”
My breath catches, and an ache starts low in my gut. This is it. This is what they’ve wanted from me. At least in the beginning. They all have admitted they don’t care about my actual virginity, but they want to fuck me.
“We should play spin the bottle.” Caden steps back and finds the bottle we’ve used before. “It seems fitting we let the bottle help get you ready.”
I wet my lips and gaze up into Luke’s eyes, waiting for him to give us rules. Leaning on him probably more than I should in this moment, when I’ve basically said I want another man to fuck me first. But we’re all a part of this.
Like Luke said in the beginning, only one of them can fuck me first, but they can all be there.
That terrified me at first, but now, I wouldn’t want it any other way.
He searches my eyes and traces my cheekbone lightly with his thumb.
He kisses me softly, briefly, before stepping away, taking my hand, and leading me to the couch.
