Ashmine giggled, snuggling further into Hawk. “Shower first.”

Happiness pilfered its way into Hawk’s heart. He hadn’t felt this much joy in too long.

Ace appeared from down the hall, a billow of steam behind him.

“Water’s ready for you.” Ace ignored Silas and Hawk, his entire focus on the woman in Hawk’s arms.

Hawk didn’t care. They would need to figure out where they stood,howthis would work, where they would go.

But Hawk knew one thing for certain. Ashmine would be stuck with them all from here on out.

They had come to this cabin expecting revenge. Expecting to hurt and kill her.

Hawk walked carefully to the bathroom, not wanting to jostle Ashmine. He was sure she was sore and littered in bruises. In their marks.

Instead, they would leave together. As they were meant to.

As a family.

Chapter 23

Ashmine

Iwas warm, dried off, and laying across three men’s laps on the small couch in the living room of the cabin.

Mythree men.

“Do you understand now?” Ace asked as he focused his attention on me, his hands finding their way into my hair.

“We do,” Silas said as his fingers trailed across my naked stomach leaving goosebumps in their wake. He leaned against Hawk. “I’m sorry brother, I didn’t mean to leave you the way I did. I wasn’t thinking. I should have known better.”

The men were all clothed, but I deemed to remain naked. For now, at least. I had another plan in mind for later.

“I know you didn’t, it’s in the past. We can’t leave each other again. We need each other,” Hawk muttered.

“I’m sorry to you too, little girl.” Silas fingers flexed across my stomach, shifting downwards. “But I want the baby you promised me. I will be filling you with my cum until this is swollen with my child.”

I chuckled. “And what if it’s Ace’s or Hawk’s?”

“Then it will still be mine. But why did you even have that IUD? If you have waited for us…” Silas asked.

“Because I knew it would set you off. If you removed it, I knew there was hope.” I hummed softly. Contentedly.

Silas grumbled but didn’t say anything else.

“I missed you all. Every day was an uphill battle to simply make it to the next. I held onto the hope that I would reunite with you two. That you would both make it back to me again.”

“What’s the plan now?” Hawk rested his arms across my legs, his striking blue eyes meeting mine.

“We leave.” It was time for us all to find our way outside of this horrible town and all the memories that came with it.

“How?” Silas’s voice was stern, critical.

“With what money?” Hawk cut in. “I understand now why you didn’t want to use William’s.” His voice broke in the middle.

“Ashmine has been funneling her uncle’s money away,” Ace said on my behalf.

He was correct. I knew that we would need to facilitate our escape. Knew that William’s money would be traceable. Knew that I would need to stash money away that wasn’t as easy to follow.
