“I’ll take the blame,” Lance laughs as he walks into the bedroom. “How do you feel?”
“Like I got railed by three hulks in a kitchen,” I say as I close my eyes. “I love you guys.”
“We love you too,” Lance says as he lies beside me and pulls me to his chest.
“I feel like that was meant to be a punishment in the beginning,” I say as I snuggle closer. Mason slips into bed behind me and I am sandwiched between them.
“It was meant to until you had to go and moan while getting spanked,” Lance says.
“Are you two sandwich-cuddling me as an apology for trying to destroy my internal organs?” I ask and Dean laughs.
“I make no apologies,” Mason says, kissing my neck.
“Would you apologize if I said I’m getting a migraine?” I ask.
“Wait, really?” Mason asks. He props up on his elbow and pulls me back to look at me. I giggle when I see how worried he looks.
“Ow,” I giggle again when he smacks my ass and resumes cuddling me.
“Go to sleep, ya little brat,” Mason says.
Chapter ten
Sadie
Five Days Later
All week things havegone smoothly at work, once we managed to get into the building. Yesterday we finally got the police to get the media out of our parking lot so the day went by much smoother. We’ve had issues with people approaching me in public, but I never leave the house alone anymore.
The police positively linked the camera back to Alex and the video was uploaded to the internet from a device under Angela’s home WiFi. They were arrested on Wednesday morning and are being held without bond.
There has been no word from my parents since I talked to them last weekend. I know that won’t last forever. I expect them to call any day now. There is no way they will stay away forever. They like to try and control me too much to stay out of mylife. However, the fact that they are so quiet makes me think I actually did hurt their feelings this time. I shouldn’t care, but I do for some reason.
“I’m so tired,” I complain as I sit in the grass and lie back on the ground.
“Why are you so tired?” Todd asks.
“Yeah, Sadie. Why are you so tired?” Lance asks with a grin.
“You shut it,” I say, pointing at him. “This is your fault.”
“No… It’s your fault for continuously saying ‘make me’ when we ask you to not do something,” Lance says as he lays beside me and props on his elbow.
“I am an adult,” I say.
“An adult that I will fuck to tears every single time you say something bad about yourself and refuse to be open to redirection from your negativity,” he says coolly.
“Is that how you deal with her shitting on herself?” Todd asks, laughing.
“Yeah,” he smiles. “She can’t think about the stuff that makes her feel bad about herself if I fuck her so hard that she forgets her name.”
“All three of you are monsters. Y’all fuck like the Hulk smashes. It’s unforgiving and relentless,” I say and everyone laughs.
“Ready to go eat lunch?” Dean asks, putting his hand out for me to take.
“Yes,” I say as I grab his hand and he pulls me up to stand.
“Hello?” Todd says as he answers his phone. He steps away to talk as we gather our belongings and walk to the parking lot. Before I can get in the truck Todd shouts at me. “Sadie!”
