Chapter 37
Bang-Bang
Harper
A nap is the right thing. My body feels weird, like I’ve exercised too much. Luke pulls his shirt over my head. That soft, seductive scent of his cologne mixes with something undeniably Luke. It makes me warm all over.
Not that I would ever tell him that. He doesn’t need any more ammunition to use against me. He already has plenty.
Nico opens the door to the bedroom, and Luke scoops me into his arms.
“Hey!” I cry out, surprised, wrapping my arms around his neck.
Luke smirks. “If I’m taking you to bed, princess, I’m doing it in style.”
I tug on his blond hair, and the smile he gives me makes my heart melt. Fuck, that’s dangerous. Luke wouldn’t know love if it smacked him upside his head. I’m not the one who’s going to show him and live happily ever after.
I’m only eighteen years old. We’re not even in a regular relationship. I’m owned by the horsemen for the year. Like everyone hoped, I gave it up quickly, but that doesn’t mean they get to stray.
Luke lowers me to the bed, and Caden makes his way over to us.
He grabs me and lifts me into the middle of the bed before crashing down beside me. “Did you have a good morning, little nympho?”
He plucks at the hem of Luke’s shirt. Luke lies down beside me. Suddenly I’m aware of the fact I’m not wearing panties. I pull down the hem of the shirt to cover me. After all, I’m technically open for business now.
I gave them what they wanted, but I wanted them too. I want them. But maybe a break would be nice.
“Maybe someone should get my panties?” I glance at Jack as he climbs on the bed.
He chuckles darkly. “If you’re looking for a savior, sweetheart, you’re looking at the wrong man. I like that you’re all soft and naked under Luke’s shirt. Easy access.”
He strokes his hand down my leg, sending sparks through me. Yeah, that’s what I’m afraid of.
“Easy, princess.” Luke draws me back down into his arms. “You’ve just gone round one with the horsemen. You need some time to adjust. So sleep. You won’t wake with a cock buried in you.”
Luke whispers next to my ear, “Yet.”
My eyes widen at the possibility. Fuck, that could happen. What would that be like?
I press my thighs together at the need throbbing there. How could I be horny already? Seriously, I just got fucked by five guys. My skin feels tight as Luke draws me in closer to him.
In front of me, Caden opens one eye. “What’s wrong, little nympho?”
I’m forcing myself not to squirm back against Luke, but there’s this restlessness beneath my skin I can’t seem to calm down. Caden smiles like a predator who’s found his favorite prey.
Grabbing my leg, he drapes it over his hips, opening me up as he slides closer. The guys are all back in their boxers, but it wouldn’t take much to pull them down. I groan thinking about going another round with Caden.
I’m tempted to roll onto my back and just let them have their way with me.
“Shh, let me take care of you.” Caden’s finger trails up my inner thigh, and I suck in a breath. His fingers slide between my folds, making liquid heat flood me. Oh god, that feels good. His green eyes remain locked with mine.
Luke’s hand slides over my ass cheek, and I forget to breathe as tingles course through me. Their fingers meet in the middle and push into my pussy. My lips part and my eyes close as my senses go into overload.
“When I can’t get to sleep, sometimes I have to jack off to ease the tension, so I’m not so tightly wound.” Caden brushes his nose against mine. He presses featherlight kisses over my eyes and nose.
I gasp as he caresses my clit, while his and Luke’s fingers gently work in and out of my pussy.
“Just let go, princess.” Luke’s voice makes me arch into Caden as they take me higher and higher. “Come one more time and you’ll go right to sleep.”
Caden captures my lips, teasing them with his lips and tongue. I can’t breathe as they quicken their pace. The climb is steep, and when I get to the edge, I fall over it. Moaning into Caden’s mouth as they work me through my orgasm.
As I come down, sleep rises up and draws me down into its depths.
I wake to the sounds of actual battle. Machine guns, guys yelling, explosions. I blink the sleep from my eyes and sit up in Caden’s bed. A blanket falls to my lap. For once, I’m all alone on the bed. The guys are sitting around the TV with controllers in their hands.
All except Caden. I look around the room, but he doesn’t seem to be hiding anywhere. Not that someone his size could hide.
I stretch and yawn before scooting to the edge of the bed.
Walking behind the guys, I pad barefoot to the bathroom, so they don’t notice over the noise from the game.
After I use the bathroom, I find the toothbrush Caden let me use over the weekend.
He put it in the space next to his in the toothbrush holder.
He even found me a hairbrush, said it was his sister’s and she wouldn’t mind.
Falling asleep with wet hair gave me weird kinks, so I braid it and tie off the end. I’m still in Luke’s shirt. All my clothes are out there. I should check my phone to make sure Mom didn’t try to get ahold of me.
Today was a fun escape, but reality waits for us. Before I walk out, I look at myself in the mirror, trying to see if I can tell the difference, but it’s just me staring back.
It’s weird. I feel different but don’t look different. Shaking my head, I return to the bedroom. Someone folded my clothes and put them in a pile. I pull on my panties and jeans, but I leave on Luke’s shirt. It’s warm and smells so fucking good.
I’m not going to dwell on that.
Caden comes into the room with a tray of food. “Good, you’re awake.”
Someone pauses the game, and they all turn to look at me.
“Hi.” I raise my hand and wave like an idiot.
Seriously, someone should just put me in a place for special losers who don’t know how to interact with society properly. That acronym would be a nightmare. Maybe they could just make it SL for special losers.
“I brought food.” Caden sets the tray on the coffee table.
The game is paused with four little screens of soldiers holding weapons.
The guys all grab a sandwich and sit back where they were before. Their gazes never leave me. I step around and through them to the tray and grab a bag of chips. Settling into the corner of the couch with my feet up on the edge, I open the bag.
I look up and arch an eyebrow. I gesture to all of them with my bag of chips. “Is this going to be a new thing? The staring thing?”
Eli smiles. “Nah, kitten. We’re just wondering what version of you we’re going to get.”
A blush heats my cheeks. Yeah, I felt very self-conscious after sex for the first time. And then with all of them. The flames inside stir. But I’ve rested, and though I’m a little tender between my legs, I’m just famished.
I shrug and put a chip in my mouth.
Chuckling, Caden sits down next to me with his sandwich. He tears off half and holds it out to me. When I don’t immediately take it, he shakes it in front of me. That’s weird.
“Thanks.” I take it to get him to stop.
A grin crosses his face. “You need more than chips.”
I must look super confused, because Caden takes food, he doesn’t give it. But when I bite into my sandwich and chew it, he seems pleased with himself. Go figure.
“What are we planning to do with the rest of today?” I glance around at the guys, who are busy eating. I add, “Because I need to get some homework done this afternoon.”
“Did you become a nerd, sunshine?” Nico gives me this fake wide-eyed look.
I shake my head. “Don’t tell me you get jock grades now?”
“I take fluff classes to keep my 4.0.” He wiggles his eyebrows.
“Yeah, fluff.” Jack snorts. “How many AP classes are you signed up for again?”
Nico shrugs and gives me a wink. “Easy A’s.”
I take another bite of sandwich. “I don’t know what we’re supposed to talk about now.”
“The same thing we talked about before, princess.” Luke’s eyes linger on my breasts, but maybe he’s just checking out his shirt. My breasts don’t get the memo and grow heavy under his gaze. I should have put on my bra.
“Do we get our alone time with Harper now?” Nico glances around at the others.
Luke’s jaw muscle ticks. If I’m alone with any of them, he won’t get to control the situation.
“I think that’s fair.” Caden leans back on the couch. “As long as we all agree her ass is off limits for dicks until we decide she’s ready.”
I choke on a chip, and Caden grabs me a bottle of water. Oh god, I’m going to die. I cough and sputter before taking a swallow of water. Grinning, Caden winks.
“While you might want to wait for us to tap that, we need to do some prep work.” Caden draws his finger down my arm, and a shiver ripples through me.
“Prep?” I thought losing my virginity was going to be the hard part.
“We can work on that when we’re all together.” Jack takes a drink. “We’ll get you nice and ready before any of us takes that ass.”
My toes curl into the couch as I take in the guys surrounding me. “Do we really need to do… that?”
I gesture vaguely in the air. Because seriously, while a finger might feel good, I’m not confident about any of these guys burying their dicks in my ass at this moment. It was a lot to take them in my pussy, and that’s where they’re supposed to fit.
“There’s a lot more we can do together if you’re open to anal, kitten.
” Eli leans back on his hands. His arm muscles bulge with the movement.
I never forget how ripped these guys are.
“You’ll love it. But Caden is right, we need the right prep.
We won’t do anything that might make you not like something. ”
“Thanks?” I squirm in my seat. Still not one hundred percent on board with the notion.
“I’m definitely up for some one-on-one time with Harper,” Jack says. His blue eyes meet mine. “There’s all sorts of things we can get up to on our own, or maybe with a friend.”
His eyes trail to Caden, and an ache throbs through me, remembering taking them both. I’d be more than willing to do that again. But my brain sticks on something.
What if that’s what they did with Parker Ford? She lost her virginity to both of them. So did she take one in her mouth and one in her pussy, or did she do anal and pussy? I want to ask, but I don’t know the boundaries of our arrangement.
Do I really want to bring up other girls? What if they bring up other girls because I did it first? Yeah, not the best idea.
“If we’re going to do homework, I’ll need to go home and grab my books.” Eli stands and brushes his hands off. “Do we want to work here or somewhere else?”
“You mean like the library?” I finish the last bite of my sandwich. The library is my go-to study place. It always feels like it’s abandoned. All the nooks and crannies I can get lost in for hours.
Luke chuckles. “No, princess. We don’t go to the library, but we could go to a coffee shop to work.”
I’ve never been able to go to a coffee shop to work. Too easy for the horsemen to find me there. But I’m not hiding anymore. I get to be a semi-normal teenager with five guys breathing down my neck.
“Yes to coffee. Always yes to coffee.” Leaning back, I look at them. “I’m also up to spending time with just one or two of you. I’d like to get to know you guys better.”
Even if this thing is only for a year. The year’s just starting.
