But Grayson? He might be a cocky asshole but fuck, he is so damn good to me. Declan might like to be dominated, but he loves to take care of me when we’re done, just like he likes to be cared for too.

I bite my lip and squeeze my eyes shut. I can’t cry, I can’t ruin this.

“Pretty Girl, you okay?” Grayson asks.

“I’m fine,” I rasp.

“Hey.” Grayson moves, kneeling next to Declan on the couch. “What’s wrong?”

I shake my head, not opening my eyes. If I talk, I’ll cry.

“Bad feelings?” Declan asks, seeming to sense what’s going on. I shake my head. “Good feelings?” I nod a little bit. Declanwraps his arms around me tightly, kissing the top of my head as he runs his hand up and down my back. “It’s okay to feel emotional during sex. Especially with what we just did. If you need to cry, don’t feel like you have to hold it in. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about, and we don’t judge.”

I move to bury my face in his chest, and I cry. I do feel stupid because I have nothing to cry over. But with everything that's happened, not only in the past few days but the last few weeks, it’s all crashing in on me.

Declan holds me, letting me cry despite the softening of his cock and the mess we’re making.

“I’m sorry,” I say after I’ve calmed down.

“Don’t be sorry.” Grayson brushes the hair from my face. “You have nothing to be sorry for.”

I laugh. “We just had amazing sex, and I ruined it by crying.” I laugh, moving to sit up. I wipe my eyes, no doubt looking a mess.

“You ruined nothing, Sadie,” Declan insists. “Do you wanna talk about it?”

“It’s silly.”

“Never silly,” Declan counters.

“It’s hard to put into words. When I’m with you guys, I feel safe, wanted, and whole.” I blush a little bit. “You take care of me, treat me like I’m worth something.” I close my eyes as I take a shuddering breath. “I’m not used to that. With...” I don’t say his name. “My ex. I was just a hole for his pleasure, you know? I felt cheap and used and...” I shake my head. “I don’t feel that with you guys. So, thank you.”

“You never need to thank us for treating you how you deserve to be treated. Know your worth, Pretty Girl, and if you can’t, we’ll show you.” He leans in and kisses me deeply. “Now let’s go get you showered.”

He helps me off the couch, and I groan as I feel cum dripping down my thighs. Declan stands awkwardly, using tissues from the side table to clean the mess on him.

I bite my lower lip, trying not to smile.

“I’m going to need to burn that couch.” I laugh.

“We will buy you a new one.” Declan laughs.

Grayson scoops me up into his arms and grins down at me. “Then we’ll fuck you on that one too.”

Chapter 7

Sadie

I’m stepping into the living room, freshly showered, a towel wrapped around my body while I dry my hair when the door to my cottage bursts open.

“Time to go shopping bitch!” Emma shouts as she makes her grand entrance.

My eyes snap over to the door, widening as I stand there frozen in place.

Emma comes to a stop, eyes going comically wide.

“Move, you're blocking the way,” Mia huffs, pushing Emma out of the way so she and Alice can come in.

“Wow,” Alice says, looking around before a grin takes over her face. “Please tell me we just walked in on you getting your brains fucked out.”
