The warning bells are suddenly ringing in my head. Why would I ever need to sleep here?

Axel comes up behind me and places a hand on my shoulder. Ryker moves closer to me as well, and suddenly I'm surrounded.

“You are even more beautiful than your mother.” Rykers leans in and whispers in my ear. His warm breath sent shivers down my spine.

Axel’s fingers graze over my tattoo, and a growl of approval vibrates through his chest. Zane’s eyes zone in on it, and a smile creeps across his face. Someone’s hand lands on my hip, and an arm wraps around my waist. They get even closer to me.

I close my eyes, trying to block out their hands on me. I want to fight them off, but I know I would never manage to defend myself against the three of them. Their hands start moving, exploring every inch of my body they can. Hands trail across my breasts, my ass, up my legs. I hold still while they touch me, trying to stop my body from shaking. The overwhelming need to run to the washroom and purge until I don’t feel this way anymore is coursing through my veins.

A hand clasps my neck, and my eyes fly open. I look into Zane’s eyes, knowing exactly what he wants. Before I can protest, his lips are on mine. He was stealing a kiss from me.

Zane's lips are rough against mine, demanding I kiss him back. His tongue pokes my lips, wanting permission that I won’t give him. The kiss doesn’t last long. An evil glint in his eyes as he pulls away from me. Ryker looks like he is ready to do the same thing.

My body is shaking, and I can’t breathe right now as panic starts to set in.

Zane smirks as the others move away from me. He leans over until his mouth is beside my ear. “Who knows, maybe you will be our new queen.” He whispers before moving away.

I stand still as they leave me alone in the room. The door closes behind them, and I listen as their footsteps move away from me. I take a few deep breaths before trying to calm my body down.

I can’t wrap my head around what just happened. Zane kissed me. Ryker and Axel touched me. They offered me a room here and then said I could be their queen. What did they mean by that? They aren’t insinuating that they want me. I’m half their age.

There is a knock at the door. I jump as the door creeps open, and Zeus pokes his head in. I visibly relax as he walks towards me. I don’t think. I just move into his arms, burying my head in his chest, soaking up his warmth, comfort, and protection. He holds me close and kisses the top of my head.

I need to get Zane’s lips off of mine. I tilt my head up and get on my tiptoes, kissing Zeus. He is stunned but quickly kisses me back. His arms move down to my lower back as he intensifies the kiss. His tongue asks for permission that I readily grant. His tongue against mine, his hands grabbing my ass. I wrap my arms around his neck.

I moan into his mouth, earning me a growl from him. Zeus pushes me until my back is against the door. I can feel his hard-on against my stomach. My hands glide down his neck and chest, wanting to explore further.

He pulls away, breathless, and looks at me. “Not like this.” It’s all he says before pushing away from me. Zeus grabs my hand, lacing our fingers together before opening the door and walking out.

Odin

When our dads walked back into the main room without Serena, instant panic set in for all of us, wanting to rush to her and check she was safe. Zeus, the lucky fucker, beat me at rock paper scissors and rushed off to find her. He has been gone a while now. Panic is setting in that something is wrong. I sit at the bar, my legs bouncing a mile a minute, my eyes not moving from the hallway they disappeared down.

Midas is at the other end of the bar, talking in hushed tones with the prospect. Midas looks pissed, but he is plotting something. I can see the crazy in his eyes from here. What the hell does he have planned?

Before I can even consider what he is up to, Serena and Zeus walk back into the room holding hands. He looks so happy for the first time in a long time. My heart feels full looking at the two of them, but there is also jealousy. I wish I was the one holding her hand.Fuck it.I walk over to them and grab her other hand, lacing our fingers together.

Our dads look over and scowl at the three of us.

Ignoring their weird behavior, I hold on to the most important girl. She is blushing while looking at our hands together. I glance over her head at Zeus. I’m expecting him to look pissed that I am touching her too, but a small smile is there. Maybe there is hope for my sharing idea.

I haven’t told the other two yet about my crazy plan, but I’m starting to think it could work if she wants all of us. Fuck, I hope she does. I couldn’t imagine not having her in my life. I’ve been so happy since she walked into our lives. She makes me smile more than I ever have.

She looks so tiny between us, but she radiates power. She has brought three Kings to their knees and doesn’t even know it yet. I know we all feel the same way about her, even if Midas won’t admit it, and Zeus probably doesn’t understand his feelings yet. I don’t care, though. I know how I feel about this girl, and I would scream it from the rooftops if she would let me. I probably should tell her first before doing that.

Her little body is slightly tense as her eyes lock on our dads across the room. They are sitting on a couch together, talking between them. They seem too happy right now, and that’s not sitting well with me. Like my dad, I am great at observing and putting pieces together. They did something or said something to her in that room. My blood boils with the need to go over there and beat them until they tell me what happened.

“Do you want to leave?” I ask her quietly.

Her eyes are wide, surprised I can read her so well. She nods her head. I squeeze her hand three times and start walking to the door. Zeus doesn’t let go of her hand, and we three walk to the front door. I whistle to get Midas’s attention and nod to the door when he looks at me. He quickly finishes his conversation with the prospect before following us out.

I take her keys from her and walk her to her car. I open the passenger door for her and watch as she climbs in. I lean across her and buckle her seat belt before closing the door. I turn to Midas and Zeus, telling them I will drive her home. She was still a bit shaky, and I didn’t want her behind the wheel. Midas goes to protest, but I remind him that he isn’t her favorite person. He instantly shuts up and stomps off to his bike. Zeus looks at her one last time before walking to his bike.

I climb into the driver's side and turn her car on. Her phone connects to the Bluetooth. Enchanted by Taylor Swift fills the small space. I put the car in drive and pull out of the lot, Midas and Zeus following close behind. I listen to the lyrics as the song plays, thinking about how this is us. When we first met her, she was coerced into being happy. Herboyfriendmade her so miserable, but every time we were around, she would smile so brightly that it would light up even the darkest rooms.

Serena continuously enchants me.

I look over at her. She is staring out the window as the town passes by, lost in her thoughts. I wonder if she is thinking about me. I want to ask. This desire to know everything about her is so potent in me. She looks like she is relaxing more the further we get from the clubhouse. That settles it for me. She will never step foot in there again. I would never want to put her in a position she wasn’t comfortable with.
