“What the hell, Levi?!” Evie shouted. “You locked me in here without even my phone!”

“We just want to keep you safe,” Tucker said.

Evie turned on him, her eyes flashing. “Did you know he locked the door?”

Tucker shook his head, but Evie didn’t look like she believed him. And then she turned on me.

“What about you, Mason? Are you onboard with this whole ‘keep her safe by locking her up’ thing?”

As I looked at her, all I could think was that we were about to go into a dangerous situation. No matter how careful we were or how invincible we felt, there was always a chance we wouldn’t come back. It happened to my dad when he was barely forty. There one minute and gone the next.

So I did the only thing I could.

I kissed her.

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Evie

Ilet myself explode on the brothers as soon as they came into the room, but the moment Mason’s lips touched mine, the adrenaline coursing through me switched from anger to lust with barely a pause. I’d experienced something similar when Mason had been shot, but this time, it wasn’t a reminder that he was alive, but rather that I was.

He dropped a hand to my hip as he pushed his tongue into my mouth, his fingers digging into me as if he had the same thought. I grabbed the front of his shirt, pushing myself up on my toes to tangle my tongue with his. His kisses were addictive, washing away thoughts of anything but him. I even forgot that we weren’t alone until I heard Tucker clear his throat.

Mason broke the kiss, but kept his hold on me as he looked over at his brother. While I struggled to catch my breath, something seemed to pass between the brothers because Mason gave me a nudge toward Tucker and moved over to where Levi stood, expression unreadable. As the older brothers started to talk quietly enough that I couldn’t hear them, Tucker cupped my face and kissed me like a starving man, teeth and tongue consuming me. He walked me backward, hands moving down to tug at my clothes, so that by the time he tipped me onto the bed, my shirt had disappeared.

And I had three very large men staring down at me with hunger written on their faces. The sort of hunger that sent a very primal thrill through me. I felt a rush of power, knowing that I could make men like these look like that, but it was quickly followed by the reminder of how easily just one of them could overpower me. While I had no doubt whatsoever that they’d stop everything the moment I asked them to, my pulse fluttered with the knowledge that it would only be because they were good men.

Even if one of them had locked me in his bedroom.

“We told you we wanted to share you,” Mason said. “Maybe this is a good time to show you what that would look like.”

I swallowed hard, equal parts anxiety and excitement thrumming through my veins. When my tongue darted out to wet my lips, Levi chuckled, his eyes darkening to near-black.

“Who would guess little Evelyn Hayes is such a greedy girl.”

And then he stripped off his shirt, and all those rippling muscles and tattoos sent any semblance of coherent thought flying out of my head. Along with the ability to speak. Or remember why I was supposed to be mad at him in the first place.

I waited for him to join me on the bed, but even as he flicked open the button of his jeans, he walked over to the only chair in his room and settled there. The arrogance on his face as he read what must’ve been surprise and disappointment in my expression should’ve turned me off, but it didn’t. He smirked at me and adjusted the bulge already pushing at the front of his pants.

“Don’t worry, hellcat,” he said. “I’ll take my turn, but I wanna watch first.”

With that promise still echoing in my ears, Tucker and Mason leaned over me, quickly stripping off the rest of my clothes and leaving me naked, spread out on Levi’s bed, every inch of me humming with anticipation.

The two brothers exchanged another one of those silent looks, and Mason’s mouth curved up into a grin that made my stomach flip. He jerked his chin toward me, and Tucker stepped forward.

“Rule one when it comes to sharing,” Tucker said as he removed his cut and the shirt underneath. “Please your woman so thoroughly she’ll never want to go back to one man.”

“But rule number two is just as important,” Mason said as he sat at the end of the bed. “Make sure you put on a good show for anyone who likes to watch.”

I gave him a skeptical look. “I’m pretty sure you just made those up.”

He grinned and shrugged as he leaned back, toeing off his boots. “Those could just be our rules for sharing.”

I didn’t like the idea that they’d shared women before, but then Tucker sat on my other side and he was completely naked. I had to admit, this whole sharing thing seemed to have a positive point I hadn’t thought of.

There were way too many things going on for me to get lost in my head.

And, as I heard the slick sound of skin on skin and turned to see that Levi had taken his cock out of his pants and was now stroking it, I realized it also meant I wasn’t going to be able to keep track of everything going on around me.
