“I’m almost positive Tesa and Tori will want to go when they hear about it.” Turner smirks. “I can’t wait.”

We have our village now, and it’s a beautiful one.

“Text them and ask, I know you have your own group chat,” I tease him. Blushing, Turner shrugs as he pulls out his phone.

“I love that we live so close,” Roark says happily, pushing away his plate. Picking up a coveted chocolate chip cookie, he takes a big bite. Eyes at half mast in pleasure, he chews in contentment. “Chocolate was a good choice.”

The rest of the night is spent teasing and laughing, and we all go to bed early.

Tucked into Derek’s arms as Orion throws his leg over us, I think about how damn lucky I am. Even if the nightmares pay me a visit from time to time, I’ll still be waking in their arms every time.

Roark

Walking outside, I give a feral grin. The weather is cooler out, and we decided today would be perfect to chase and fuck in the woods.

Lennon is snuggled in the new swing we set up for her and the babes. It’s a cross between a traditional porch swing and a hammock so she can get comfortable with them. She has a kindle, water, and snacks as well. The heaters are also turned on for her comfort.

“Have fun.” She grins lazily as I pull down my ski mask. We decided that Turner, Derek, and I would hunt Orion. He promised not to give in easily, even though I could see the excitement in his eyes when he ran out to hide a moment ago.

Derek steps outside in an open shirt, ripped jeans, and the mask over his handsome face.

“It should be illegal for you two to look that good,” Lenny chuckles. “I’m excited to hear the echoes through the trees in a bit.”

“Dirty girl,” Derek says as he walks over to kiss her. “Do you need anything else?”

“No, I’m really comfy actually. This swing is amazing.”

We decided to upgrade the swing before we left, and Jordan made sure someone assembled it while we were gone. I have to say her uncle is amazing. I mentioned it to him on a call, and he immediately offered to handle it.

It’s a lot better than cursing it out as I assembled it. I hate putting things together. Turner is much better at it.

As if thinking about him summons him, he walks out.

“Let’s go catch us a fuck toy,” he grins. It’s about five in the afternoon, and it’s slowly getting dark. We’ll catch Orion long before it goes fully dark.

Turner is in soft joggers that show off the hardness of his cock, leather straps across his chest that’ll double as restraints, and looks really fucking hot. Goddamn.

“Stop drooling,” Derek snickers as he opens the porch door to go down the steps. This area is enclosed for Lenny, because we knew she’d love spending time out here with the kids.

I can’t stop staring at Derek’s ass as he walks in his jeans. He’s wearing a dark blue open shirt, and my cock strains in my pants. Fuck, today couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m so glad Layla has her date. Lenny suggested she text before coming home, and her sister’s eyes got wide before she reminded her she can’t have sex.

“She can’t but she said we should and gave us her blessing.”I winked. I wanted her to know how a poly relationship should be, because Mav and Atlas managed to screw things up in that aspect.

Layla blushed and then rushed out the door after telling us to have fun.

Derek and Turner start to stalk forward, and I listen hard for a broken branch or heavy breathing. We told Orion that he could hide anywhere. The bastard can climb well, so my eyes move to the treetops as we move.

“Be a good boy, O, and let me fuck your mouth!” I yell.

“Fuck,” mutters a voice and I smirk.

“That’s exactly what I plan to do,” I yell. Orion bursts out from behind a tree, and we follow in suit.

I know he’s been wanting this, so he’s not trying very hard.

“I won’t use the lube in my pocket if you don’t give us some effort,” Turner taunts.

Orion gasps, and his strong legs pump faster. He jumps and grabs a branch, pulling himself into the tree and jumping from tree to tree.
