“Either will do,” Orpheus said, nodding, then moving to snuff out the candles.

I bolted forward and snatched his hand before he could.

He stilled and eyed me in surprise.

And then I grabbed his nape, jerked him down to me, and crushed my lips to his.

As soon as he kissed me back, I could feel that connection between us, that intensity, taking me over.

I focused on it and not my nervousness, and sank into the kiss, until it ignited to a ferocious passion, lips, tongue, and teeth clashing wildly.

I grabbed his ass and he growled, then I briefly felt his magic as he stripped me naked in a blink.

Then he hoisted me up against him, and carried me over to the bed where the boys were waiting.

By the time he eased his mouth from mine, we were both panting.

“Sinful kisser,” he said, smirking at me.

He slowly lowered me down onto the bed on my back.

I watched him give a nod to Xavier, Talon.

As Xavier straddled me, he leaned down and brushed his lips over my cheek, my jaw, my lips, while softly stroking my hair, reassuring me, giving me comfort as he also turned me on, building on what my kiss with Orpheus had already stoked in me, and us all.

“I love you,” he whispered at my ear.

I kissed his neck and confessed, “I love you too, sweet Xavier.”

He eased back a little and smiled sweetly at me.

And then he kissed his way down my throat, across my collarbone, over my breasts, and all down my body as he uttered, “I love you. I love you. I love you.”

He had me giggling and stroking his hair.

Orpheus and Talon were grinning as they heard me and saw my happy reaction.

I held out either hand, beckoning them to me.

Talon moved to my left side and leaned in and started kissing my breasts, just as Xavier’s kisses reached between my thighs.

He stilled and eyed me in question and I gave a nod.

Orpheus was there then, slowly spreading my thighs open for him.

He stroked my skin softly as Xavier dipped his head and dragged his tongue through my folds.

The moment he did, I tensed, as a memory of a certain psychopath rose to the surface and threatened to take me over.

I whimpered as I fought it away, and when I focused back on my men again, I saw Xavier was now sitting up between my thighs, Talon no longer licking my breasts, and Orpheus no longer touching my thighs.

“I’m sorry,” I said, scrubbing my hand over my face.

“You were triggered?” Xavier asked. “By what I was doing?”

I squeezed my eyes shut, hating it. “Yes. I… I don’t know why I can’t just…”

“It’s okay,” Talon said, taking my hand and pressing a kiss to my knuckles.
