I nod, my voice barely a whisper. "Yes."

Cole's fingers trail up my spine, sending shivers through me despite the warm water. He grips my throat, not roughly, but with a firmness that makes my breath catch.

"You've gotten under my skin, Tessa," he says, his voice low and husky as he enters me from behind. "In ways I never expected."

I gasp at the sensation, gripping the pool's edge. Cole sets a harder pace than Chase, each thrust deliberate and powerful.

"Cole," I moan, overwhelmed by the intensity of it all.

His lips brush my shoulder. "I want a future with you. With all of us. I never thought I'd say that to anyone again, but you...you're different."

I turn my head, meeting his eyes over my shoulder. The vulnerability I see there, mixed with the raw desire, nearly undoes me.

"I love you, Tessa," Cole says, his voice thick with emotion. "God help me, I do."

Tears prick at my eyes as I reach back to touch his face. He captures my lips in a searing kiss, pouring all his pent-up feelings into it. As we move together, I feel something shift inside me—a certainty that this, right here, is exactly where I'm meant to be.

As Cole slowly withdraws, I feel a gentle hand on my cheek. I turn to find Grayson there, his blue eyes soft in the candlelight. He leans in, pressing his lips to mine in a kiss so tender it makes my heart ache.

"Hey there, beautiful," he murmurs against my lips.

I can't help but smile. "Hi."

Grayson's thumb traces my jawline as he studies my face. "Are you okay? Not too overwhelmed?"

"I'm perfect," I assure him, leaning into his touch. "This is...more than I ever imagined."

He smiles, a rare, unguarded expression that lights up his entire face. "Good. Because I'd like to continue, if you're willing."

My pulse quickens. "Yes, please."

Grayson takes my hand, leading me toward the attached jacuzzi. The warm bubbles welcome us as we slip into the water. He settles onto one of the built-in seats and gently pulls me into his lap.

"Is this all right?" he asks, his hands resting lightly on my hips.

I nod, suddenly feeling shy despite everything we've already shared tonight. "More than all right."

Grayson's eyes search mine, and I see a flicker of vulnerability there. "I've been looking forward to this," he admits softly. "To finally being with you, without interruptions."

I wrap my arms around his neck, pressing closer. "Me too," I whisper, my heart pounding with anticipation and something deeper, warmer.

I sink down onto Grayson slowly, gasping as he fills me. His hands tighten on my hips, guiding my movements.

"God, Tessa," he breathes, his voice rough. "You're so beautiful. So sexy. You're...everything."

I can't help the blush that spreads across my cheeks. "Gray..." I start, but he silences me with a kiss.

His lips are soft yet insistent against mine, and I lose myself in the sensation. We move together, finding a rhythm that's slow but intense. Each thrust sends sparks of pleasure through my body.

I break the kiss, panting. "You feel amazing," I murmur, running my fingers through his hair.

Grayson's eyes lock with mine, full of emotion. "You'reamazing," he says. "I never thought...I never expected to find someone who would make me want to move forward again."

My heart skips a beat. "What do you mean?"

He takes a deep breath. "You make me think about the future, Tessa. A future I want to build...with you."

I feel tears prick at my eyes, overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment. Grayson's hands cup my face gently.
