Page 60 of Unwrapping Ember

Baine and Koda nod, their expressions serious now.

“We’re family,” Koda assures, reaching over to squeeze Ember’s hand. “Nothing can change that. We’ll find a way to stay connected.”

Ember’s eyes glimmer with unshed tears, but they are bright and warm—like the fire itself. “Thank you. I needed to hear that.”

As the snow begins to fall more heavily, we huddle closer around the fire, sharing whispers and laughter, and we transform the night into something magical.

Koda

Sitting here playing never have I ever—our way—I can feel a decent buzz running through me as I knock back shot after shot, anxious to hear Ember's input. Nervous; she still hasn't taken a turn, but she's up soon, and I can tell she's having second thoughts.

"What's wrong, my little Ember?"

"I'm nervous for the game."

"You've played truth or dare and been a fucking freak in bed. This isn't the thing to be nervous about." I chuckle as the statement comes out of Everest's mouth, making her smile timidly.

"Fine, but that doesn't mean anything. What are the rules?"

"Well, someone has to ask us if they've ever done anything; if we have, they take a shot. If they haven't, they have to do the thing they've never done.”

“We all know how this goes, right? I'm sure we'll all be revealing some pretty interesting things about ourselves. So, who wants to start?" I say as I give Ember a supportive smile.

She takes a deep breath and nods, signaling that she's ready. "Okay, let's do it," she says with determination. And just like that, the game continues.

We play for a littlewhile longer, enjoying the snowfall and the crisp night air and indulging in our fun, wildest fantasies. By the time the game is nearing an end, the four of us can hardly stand; we're so drunk, but Ember is laughing, and that's always the goal.

"So, there's only a couple days until you go back to school, Em. How are you feeling about it?" Everest asks her as she gets up and sits on my lap, her arms lopped around my neck.

"I'm torn. I don't want to go back, but I know I have to."

"Who said you have to? We talked about you transferring here and staying with us."

"I know, Ev, but uprooting everything is a little scary. And what happens if something happens between the four of us and I'm not wanted here anymore?"

Me and the guys laugh, bringing shock to her face as she looks around, mouth open. "That will never happen, doll. Besides, Koda would choose you over us anyway. So if anyone were to be not wanted, it wouldn't be you."

Ember blushes and playfully swats Everest's shoulder, but her eyes are still worried. I look at her and take her hands in mine. "Em, we love you. We want you here with us, no matter what. And if transferring scares you, we can take it slow. You don't have to make any decisions right now."

She smiles at me, and I feel the tension in her shoulders ease. "Thanks, Koda. I think I just needed to hear that."

She kisses me, wiggling her ass on my lap, while Baine and Ev watch hungrily. Pulling away, she looks around and smirks, giving us all a devious look as if she wants to play.

"What's on your mind, little Vixen?"

"I was just thinking about having a little more fun." She brings her mug of cocoa to her lips and takes a sip, winking at the three of us.

"And what do you have in mind?" I ask, my hands grazing her upper thighs, her legs parting oninstinct.

She licks her lips as the guys move in closer, and I can already tell what she's thinking. "Well," Ember suggests, her eyes roaming over us. "I want to make you guys feel good since you always make sure I do." The fire is crackling and the wind continues to blow, but none of us are bothered by it. Ember looks over at us, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Let's see what other fantasies we can make come true."

The three of us exchange a knowing glance and a smirk before eagerly agreeing to Ember's proposal. As we sit by the crackling fire, we eagerly anticipate what other fantasies Ember has in store for us and begin to let our imaginations run wild, eager to explore more of our wildest dreams together. The sound of laughter and the warmth of the fire surround us as we delve into a night of boundless possibilities and endless adventures with the one we all love.

"If you want to make us feel good, why don't you get on your knees for me, my little Ember? Show us how good you are with that mouth."

She grins, licking her lips as her eyes dart to our laps. Noticing the massive, growing bulges we're all palming, she flips her hair over her shoulder and flashes us a wink.

"How about you show us what those hands can do too?" Baine says, with a gruffness in his voice.
