“Next time,” I promised him.

And while it excited me to be shared by all four and not just three, I hoped to also get alone time with each of them. I could sense special bonds being formed with them, no matter how many of them were around.

Chapter 28

LOLA

As much as Ben wanted to go for round two, he was pretty exhausted, and I told him to rest. He wasn’t very happy about it, but he knew better than to challenge his body when he was basically still sick.

I brought another cup of tea and made him take one more pill to help keep his fever down, and we cuddled up on the couch with a blanket and the TV on.

My head was on his chest, and my arm wrapped around his waist, and I absentmindedly watched the movie he had put on.

His hands kept caressing my back and arm, and every once in a while, he kissed the top of my head.

I smiled when he did it again, turning my head to look up at him. I caught him looking down at me, his eyes full of admiration.

“Are you tired?” I asked quietly, rubbing his chest.

“No. Don’t think I’ll ever get tired watching you.”

I sighed, feeling my cheeks flush. “It’s not fair, you know? Saying those sweet things with that deep, sexy voice.”

He chuckled and squeezed me tight, pressing another kiss to my head. “You can just kiss me if you want me to shut up. Or, even better, you could ask me to put my mouth on your pussy again.”

I pressed my thighs together to stop my clit from reacting.

Damn him and his dirty mouth.

I laughed and rolled my eyes at him, slapping his chest gently. “Stop.”

Ben grinned and cupped my cheek with one hand, and he leaned in to kiss me. It was a gentle and quick kiss, though I knew he was tempted to turn it into more.

“They guys should be home soon. Are you staying for the night again?” he then asked, caressing my cheek with his thumb.

“Yes. I even brought my toothbrush this time,” I told him proudly. “And a shirt to sleep in.”

“Good. Don’t think I would’ve let you go anyway.”

I cuddled up to him again, and we continued to watch whatever was on TV.

Later on, I got a text from Willa, asking me if I was doing okay since I hadn’t shown up at The Hot Spot.

“I’ll give her a quick call,” I told Ben, and he turned down the volume. After dialing Willa’s number, it took two rings before she picked up.

“Hey, where are you? I thought you’d be here tonight. The guys are putting up an insane show.”

I laughed softly. “So you’re watching this time?”

“Morris made me,” she said with a sigh, not sounding happy. “He said he had to focus on work. How focused does one have to be checking IDs and guarding a door?”

I pursed my lips. “Pretty focused, I would say. He’s just doing his job, Willa.”

“I know, I know. It sucks though. I didn’t come here for your sexy men. I came for mine.” She wasn’t being as serious as she made herself sound, and I knew after just one drink, she’d get over it and enjoy the show.

“At least you’ll get to leave with him.”

“Oh, that’s for sure. I am only having one drink tonight, and afterward, he’s taking me to grab something to eat. I guess it’s not a bad evening after all.”
