Page 23 of Room One Hundred and Nineteen: Watching Her

“You want all that?” she whispered, licking her lips, leaving them shiny. I knew firsthand how sweet that mouth tasted. How passionate and tempting it was. I had no idea how the hell Miles, as on edge as he was, had the self-control not to steal a kiss. To slam his mouth on hers without abandon like a man possessed.

I was man enough to admit I didn’t have that in me. I’d be weak and take her.

“Fuck,” Josh mumbled next to me.

“We want that and more,” Miles promised, brushing her nose with his one more time. Her lips parted, and mine tingled to feel her every exhale.

“You do?” She wasn’t hiding the vulnerability in her voice.

“Very. Much,” he enunciated slowly. Her big brown eyes hooded behind her glasses.

“How?” she whispered before she shook her head. “I mean, when? Where? Here?”

“That mean you want us, too?” Miles asked, his voice dropping an octave.

“For a night?” She ignored Miles’ question. Josh started to walk toward her, and she didn’t miss the movement. I joined him until we stood beside Miles, one on each side.

“That all you want?” Josh asked, cupping her face, the first of us to touch her that way. “One night?”

“What if… what if that’s all I can give you guys? I’m not sure…” Her eyes dropped. I stepped in, and Miles moved, giving me the space to do so. Not because I pushed him out of the way but because we were a team.

“Hey, look at me, gorgeous.” Her dark eyes rose, and I smiled at her. The tips of my fingers roamed up the line of her neck and to the side of her face. She leaned into my touch and shut her eyes for a moment. “We can take it one day at a time. Or two for now.”

“What?”

“The four of us have the next two days off.” I glanced at Josh, who took my place without me needing to say a word. She smiled at him.

“We want you to be our guest.” He handed her a card, and her brows bunched.

“Should I open it?” We nodded. Elena carefully opened the delicate envelope.

Her lips moved as she read the invitation to be our exclusive guest at Club Sin. A very exclusive sex club we were members to. One we had been to but hadn’t participated or engaged in any kind of activity since we decided Elena would be ours. A place where we had reserved a room for two nights, just in case she turned us down today and somehow, by some miracle, changed her mind tomorrow. Or if we were lucky enough for forty-eight hours of Elena time.

She glanced up at us with that pretty blush on her cheeks as her eyes touched each of us. “You guys want me to go with you here?” She lifted the card, and we nodded. “Don’t you need to submit something from me? Medical records or?—“

“We took care of everything,” Josh cut in. Miles and I nodded. It had crossed all sorts of lines, not just blurring them but very obviously crossing them. But we didn’t care. She was ours, damn it! We had used her test results from her yearly physical from the hospital’s system as well as confirmed she was on the pill.

Every nerve ending in my body was awake and chomping with anxiety. Would this be the moment she told us to go to hell?Will she turn us down?We were prepared for that. Ready for her to kick us out.

I was pretty sure the three of us almost expected that. And maybe that was why, when she looked at us and agreed, she shocked the hell out of us.

“Okay?” I rasped, and she nodded.

“Okay,” she repeated. I glanced at Josh and Miles. Both of them were as surprised as I was. “What time do we— or do we go now? I’m sorry. I’m not sure how—“ She was rambling. Miles gently closed in and grabbed her hand.

“A car will be here to pick you up in two hours,” he shared, and she inhaled deeply.

“Two hours,” she repeated, and I saw the hint of doubt in her gaze. It was clear she was overwhelmed.

“Unless you would prefer to ride with us. We figured you might feel safer and better about this… situation if you had a way to leave on your own,” Josh explained.

“The car would wait outside of the club, too. Just in case you change your mind at any point during our… time together,” Miles added. As much as I preferred her not to leave, it was important for her to have a way out and to feel comfortable.

I wanted all the time possible with her.

But at the end of the day, it was important to us that she felt safe, no matter what happened.

“It’s totally up to you,” Josh added, and she nodded.
