She continued. "I need the warmth of your big arms wrapped around me."

"So, I guess I didn't factor into your memories then," Matt joked, flexing his scrawny arms.

"Me either, it seems," I interjected, trying to keep this as lighthearted as possible.

"Of course you were. All four of you. You were wrapped around me. I was wrapped around you." She leaned in to kiss Matt and pulled my arms tighter around her body, back from where I had removed them, and up against her breasts. I cleared my throat. She didn't know what she wanted right now...so self-control, Ryan, have some self-control. Don't stick your hands into the waistband of the borrowed sweats the hospital gave her. Don't rip it down her hips and slam your dick into her.

"Lily." Ethan groaned, and when I looked down, I could see her rubbing her foot up against the crotch of his pants. Again, he held her ankle still. His self-control was my current role model.

"Eric?" She breathed.

Eric was gripping the arms of the recliner seat, his jaw tense. Ethan was going to have to get the leather on those arms replaced. Most of it was under Eric's nails.

"What?" Eric asked.

"Come over here." She purred.

He chuckled a little, pulled out his ponytail and ran his hand through his hair before tying it back up, taking a deep breath and turning to her. "I want to hold you, not Ryan or Matt. No offense." He looked over at all of us surrounding her body, before winking at her.

I didn't even care that he wanted us gone so he could have her to himself. Those were my sentiments, exactly. Even with this uproar in my body while I was fighting the urge to give her what she was asking for, and respect her recovery time, I was not letting go of her anytime soon. I'd endure the torture of wanting more than I was able to have. I was too selfish to let go and let him or any of them wrap their arms around her.

She didn't accept defeat so quickly, rolling onto her back and opening her arms out to him. "Come on top then." She grinned, biting her lip.

He exhaled. "I'd crush you," he said, joking.

"Mmm." She moaned. "I'd like that."

He breathed a laugh, shaking his head.

She huffed. "I won't break, you know." Batting her lashes at him, she beckoned him forward. "Please?"

Eric sighed and regarded her with a tickled smile, before getting up and leaning over to give her a brief kiss. But as he started to pull away, she pulled him down on top of her, grinning. He grunted.

"Oh, I'm sorry." She gasped. "I forgot. Did I hurt you?"

"Me?" He jumped up and started running his hands over her as if he had almost shattered her. "Are you okay?"

"Eric." She sighed in exasperation. "I'm fine." She cupped his face, but he just turned to kiss the palm of her hand, his eyes still wild as they searched her body.

"Are you sure?" He insisted.

"Yes." She breathed, giving up. "I think I'll have that nap now." She released him, flopped over onto her belly and buried her face into the crook of her elbow.

Okay, I recognized that move. It was the same move she did when she was on her period and we didn't give a fuck about sexing her through the blood and all. When we tried to convince her we didn't care about the mess and she could stick a tampon in while we made love to her ass. That's when she looked at us horrified, but interested. Still, it was a big no-no from her. So, once we saw her get in that position, we knew it was time to fuck off.

She was shutting us out and that's what we wanted, right? Yet, 'What have we done wrong?' was written all over our faces as we regarded each other, took a deep breath and went back to training our stalker eyes on her every movement.

"Everything okay, Sir?" Ethan's pilot stepped out of the cockpit into our space. We all jumped and turned to look at him. That was a close call. If things had gone the other way, he'd have been in for quite the shock.

"Yeah, everything's okay." Ethan crossed his legs to hide his semi.

"Alright, sir. We're ready for takeoff." The pilot announced with a nod before disappearing.

All of us turned to look at each other and I couldn't help the soft laugh that escaped my lips. Man, even brief laughter was such a relief. Within seconds, Lily was already snoring, letting sleep replace her hunger for dick. Thankfully, there was time for all of that later, when she had recovered and rested. For now, I stroked her back, syncopating her snores with the rhythm of my pulse.
