With a small smile, I got to my feet and made my way around the coffee table to him. I leaned down and pressed my lips to his in a soft, sweet kiss. “If I woke up tied to that bed tomorrow, I would fight like hell and endure everything that came after all over again, if it meant I found the four of you.”

When I went to straighten, Knox grabbed me by my arm and pulled me into his lap. “I don’t want us to be the reason. You have to see the value of your life on your own.”

“You misunderstood me.” I got more comfortable in his lap so I could look him right in the eye. “It is hard to see or find value in anything when it’s dark all around you. The four of you gave me light. So I don’t value my life because the four of you are in it. I value my life because the four of you showed me how. Some might find it ridiculous that it took your help to value myself again, but I think it’s all right to get help sometimes.” I gave him another quick kiss and tried to get up from his lap.

His arms came around me. “Where are you going?”

“I’m tired. I figured I’d head to bed,” I said.

“With whom?” Creed asked.

I took them all in and I could see that they all wanted to be with me. “What if we all sleep in the living room by the fire tonight? Falling asleep to that and maybe even a movie sounds really nice.”

Knox kissed my temple. “We can do that.”

The next morning, I woke up somewhat peacefully. My dreams hadn’t been great, but they hadn’t been nightmares. I had dreamt about Logan. He had shown up at the cabin telling me that Mr. X was dead and we could come back to Arizona. It was the type of dream where you knew what was happening wasn’t true, yet you still had no choice but to watch yourself make a terrible decision. I knew Mr. X wasn’t dead and Dream Me was about to go back to Arizona where he’d be waiting. It was a helpless sort of dream. On the upside, I didn’t wake up screaming.

Instead, I woke up between Knox and Creed. Lying on the other side of Creed was Colt and lying on Knox’s other side wasKeelan. Last night we had made a giant bed of blankets and pillows and slept in the living room. Despite the uncomfortable floor, I was already looking forward to when we could all sleep together again.

I was currently lying on my side facing Creed. I could hear Knox breathing evenly behind me. Maybe I was still partially asleep, or I was just simply turned on sleeping next to all my guys. Either way, I was feeling brave and bold.

I scooted closer to Creed and put my hand on his lower stomach. His shirt had ridden up in the night and a few inches of his skin were exposed just above the gray sweatpants he loved to torture me with. I ran my fingers along that exposed skin from hipbone to hipbone. He twitched a little before his eyes opened slightly. It took him a few seconds to see me through the fog of sleep, but when he did, his eyes opened wider. He was about to open his mouth to say something, and I quickly put my finger over his lips.

“Shh,” I whispered as I leaned close and kissed him.

He kissed me back right away and that made me braver.

I slid my hand into his gray sweatpants beneath the blankets and wrapped my fingers around his cock, which was already hard. His breath hitched as I began stroking him. “Want to play out my fantasy?” I whispered against his mouth.

He gave me my answer with a tired, loopy smile. I pulled my hand from his pants and shoved off mine, along with my underwear, while still under the blankets. Then I climbed on top of him and straddled his now-bare hips. As I grabbed him and aligned him with my entrance, I noticed that he’d shoved his pants down to his knees. His hands went to my hips as I sank down on him.

“Fuck,” he hissed, making me grin down at him.

I began moving my hips with slow, lazy rocks. His hands pushed up on my shirt until I helped him take it off me. I shovedhis shirt up to his neck so I could run my hands up and down his chest as I picked up my pace riding him.

Creed moved his hands up to cup my breasts and play with my nipples. My head lolled back and I let out a low moan.

“Well, this was not how I expected to wake up,” Keelan said.

“Really? I had a pretty good feeling something was going to happen,” Knox said.

Without stopping, I looked their way. Both of them were watching, unabashed. Knox had his hands laced behind his head and Keelan was lying on his side with his head propped up on his elbow.

I glanced over at Colt next, and he was still asleep. Returning my attention to Creed, I leaned down to kiss him. “Didn’t you promise to bend me over and fuck me?”

Keelan blew out a puff of air at the same time Knox let out a curse.

Creed smiled against my mouth. “Get on your hands and knees, Shi.”

I climbed off of him and got into position. Creed pulled off his shirt and kicked off his pants the rest of the way. As he knelt behind me, Knox and Keelan both blurted, “Condom!”

Creed let out a curse at the same time I winced. “That was my bad. I was caught up in the moment,” I said.

Keelan rolled and reached toward the end table next to the loveseat. He opened its small drawer that had surely been meant to store the remote for the TV if we’d had one and pulled out a condom. He chucked it at Creed before getting back in the position he had been lounging in. Knox and I stared at him questioningly.

Keelan shrugged. “It was you two that made living-room sex okay. I figured it’d be a good idea to have condoms within reach out here.”

After Creed had the condom on, he grabbed me by my hips and pushed inside me. I let out a sigh.
