Breathing easier, I follow her down a long hallway, stepping out almost to the end. Andrya is careful when we walk out again, but this area is completely deserted.

“Made it,” she giggles, knocking on a door.

Isaac opens, grinning at both of us. He looks edible in his long-sleeved blue shirt and black pants.

“Both of you look perfect. I hope you’re ready for a great night. We all deserve it,” he chuckles as he lets us in.

The room has an open space, all of the chairs are gone from it. There’s mattresses, pillows, and blankets artfully strewn over it, what looks like a picnic, and candles everywhere.

Is that music too? “This is the world’s most romantic thing anyone’s ever done for me,” I tell them in awe.

“Good, because I’d want to kill anyone else who did anything remotely like this for you,” Ayden grins, moving over to us to kiss me.

“Did you manage to eat very much for dinner, Dangerous Girl?” The Warden asks, reaching between the guys to grab my hand.

“Are you planning to feed me if I say no?” I ask with a smile. I don’t know why, but I had a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach all day. So I didn’t eat very much.

Anxiety is the worst.

“I have fruit, cheese, and some chocolate,” he coaxes, helping me sit down. There’s four mattresses on the floor, and there’s a large space between them all that confuses me.

Shrugging it off, I part my lips when Gray pulls out a piece of cheese.

“Making me feed you is not a punishment, Beautiful,” he chuckles, and the butterflies decide to take flight again in my stomach. Chewing the cheese he gives me helps me try to relax.

Ayden throws himself down next to me in that lazy way that reminds me of a cat. He snuggles in my lap at times as we all talk and laugh, and others he stretches, so he wiggles his butt at me.

Laughing, I realize I haven’t been able to just be in over a week. I’ve gotten so damn used to being around them all.

“This is amazing.” I sigh. “I know I said it before, but everything is always so busy, I love that I get to be with all of you in the same room. I don’t know why this means so much to me, but it does.”

“I already told you that you’re ours, Little Love,” Sidney rumbles, clambering over to my mattress to hoist me into his lap. “This color is gorgeous on you. In case I’ve failed to say it.”

“You did, but I’ll allow it,” I giggle.

“She’s got jokes.” Isaac smirks. “Shall we get to the next part of tonight?”

“Umm, there’s more?” I ask, glancing at Andrya for a clue.

“I really don’t know.” She grins back. “I decided that I would spoil everything if I knew, so I’m flying blind too, Beautiful.”

“Fair enough,” I tell her, looking back at Isaac. “What’s the next part of tonight?”

“Spin the bottle, but the dirty edition.” Ayden grins, next to us. He had to move over to accommodate Sidney’s frame, but he didn't seem bothered by it.

“Oooh. What are the rules?” Andrya squeals, and it’s absolutely adorable. “What, I love fucked up and twisted games.”

“I’ve noticed,” Grayson snorts across from her. “There’s a large space between the mattresses, and that’s where the empty bottle will go. Whoever it lands between, has to typically kiss the other.”

“However, this is also an exercise on figuring out how well we all share. In case you haven’t noticed, you have quite the collection of people who adore you, Little Hacker,” Isaac explains.

“We haven’t been able to explore very much within the confines of this building. If it lands between Ayden and Andrya, they get to choose what and with whom the act happens,” Sidney smirks.

“Huh. This sounds fun, but I think we may be wearing too many clothes for this,” I tell them, much to their surprise. I’ve been wanting to explore things with them, but it’s difficult between curfews and surprise guests. I’m so glad that bitch is gone, in case I haven’t said it yet.

“Little Love, I guess this means you approve?” Sidney asks, helping me up to undress.

“Yes, very much so.” I sigh as his fingers brush along my collar bone before settling on my zipper to pull it down.
