Chapter 39
CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
Dallas
I spent an hour washing, rubbing, and pampering Madi and June after our hunt. It would be morning soon, but I’d already pushed June to go in to work late so we could all sleep in.
After our shower, I picked June up and put her up on the bathroom counter.
“Oh god,” she giggled, leaning back. Water rolled down her chest and I smiled as Madi joined us, leaning over to drag her tongue up a line of water around her nipple. June’s breath huffed out, her eyes glazing over.
“There,” Madi murmured, kissing June’s other nipple and licking up any other droplets. “All better, huh?”
“Almost,” I said.
Madi leaned in as I knelt down, pressing a kiss to June’s knee right above the cut there.
The bleeding had stopped, and it was deeper than I’d expected.
All three of us were covered in scratches and bruises, but this was the only one that had drawn blood.
I wasn’t sure when it had happened. Maybe when I was fucking her into the ground, or when I tackled her.
Regardless, I took my time cleaning it and working the antibacterial cream into it.
She let out a soft hiss. “Don’t kiss my wound, silly,” she whispered, although her voice held no bite.
I chuckled as Madi handed me a bandage.
June rested her head on Madi’s shoulder, both of them watching as I patched her up. I kissed her knee again, gripping her calf gently.
“All better?”
“Yeah,” she whispered. “All better.”
Madi let out a hum. “Note to self, trip over things and get scratches so our boyfriend can patch me up.”
Boyfriend. I audibly sucked in a breath and while I felt June’s leg tense in my hand, forced an easy smile. “That’s what I’m here for.”
June didn’t argue. Instead she kissed June’s shoulder with a sigh. “I think it actually happened when I was on my knees. I think it was a rock or something. Worth it.”
Madi nodded, her lids growing heavy. “I need to sleep.”
“Me too,” I sighed.
“We can fit into my bed,” June said.
I raised a brow. “Are you sure?”
“Of course. It’s not as big as yours, but we’ll make it fit.”
I narrowed my eyes on her. “Have you been stalking my Goodreads again?”
“Yep. I saw that quote highlighted.”
I groaned as I stood up, peppering kisses on top of their heads until they were both laughing. I linked my pinky with Madi’s and pulled June off the counter, leading both of them to her bedroom.
The three of us collapsed into the blankets, wiggling around until we got comfortable. Pretty soon, the two of them were out, soft snores following.
I couldn’t sleep.
I should have been exhausted, especially after that much physical exertion. And I was. But my mind couldn’t stop spinning.
For better or for worse, I had fallen in love. Not only had I fallen in love with one person, but two.
Maybe I'd already been in love with June. For the last few years, I’d wanted her. I’d never been brave enough to do anything about it though until New Year’s Eve.
Then when Madi came to Whynot . . .
Everything had changed.
She was probably going to leave.
I would be here.
June would be here.
Nothing would feel right if the three of us weren’t together.
I've watched one of my best friends fall in love. Completely head over heels. Mateo talked about Levi and Avery like they were the center of his world, and while I’d always found it sweet, I never really got it.
This was different than with anyone else I’d ever dated. I've never been with another person that made me feel this way.
My life was better with Madi and June.
But how was I going to keep them in it?
