“I—l—” He sighs. “I really fucking like her. I liked what we were doing. I like it being all of us and I don’t want it to change.”

“Me too, but I’m worried she’s going to come back and want something different,” I admit the one thing I haven’t even wanted to think about. It’s a fear that’s been lingering in the back of my mind.

“If she does, we do what Caine did and show her what she wants,” Drew attempts to joke. Though, it may not be a joke.

“We could always chase her through the forest again.” I smirk at the memory. The way she felt wrapped around me. Pinned underneath me. Fuck. I want that again and I can’t wait for it.

Or maybe have Athena wrapped around her delicate throat while I fuck her. The way she looked so scared and out of breath is the hottest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

I bet she would like doing that again but with both Drew and myself fucking her at the same time.

“I think she’ll always enjoy us chasing her,” Drew agrees.

“What about where we stand?”

“I like what we were doing. Everything together just felt right. You, me, Max, and even Caine I guess. I’ve always just wanted people around who I like to be with and that’s what this has been, right?”

“Right.” I nod. “So we’re good, no matter what?”

“As long as Max is good, then so am I.”

“Then we are on the same page.”

“And Caine?”

I chuckle. “Caine is going to do whatever he wants to do, just like he always does. But if he really wants her, then he’s going to have to continue to deal with us too.”

“It’s good for him.”

I agree and I just hope that once we have our girl back, she’s going to still want us the same way. Or even more, because I’d give her whatever she wanted for the rest of her life.

Even things she doesn’t know she wanted. I’ll always push her boundaries, expanding them to let her learn more about herself than she ever thought was possible.

She may be stuck with us, but she controls all three of us, whether she knows it or not. Whatever prison she’s living in now will be the last one she deals with. Because with us, the last thing she will be is contained.

CHAPTER 14

MAX

Everything about planning this wedding has been worse than last time. Not only because it’s so much faster, but because I’m also trying to plan my escape at the same time. Before, I had months to plan, make sure I was hiding my trail and think of all the possibilities to make sure I wasn’t caught.

I don’t have that luxury and I know it’s only a matter of time before I get caught, or worse, my plan fails.

I wish I had help, I wish the guys were here. I wish I was back home.I wish this just wasn’t my fucking life.

I can’t let myself dwell on any of that because the only thing that will do is hold me back, and I have a home to get back to. I can have a breakdown once I’m back home, in my own bed, with the comfort of three large men crowding me and causing me to overheat. I would give anything to have that right now.Soon. I’ll be home soon.

This time, I know these people won’t let me get away easily again. There’s no way anyone will leave me alone like before. No,I’m sure that I’ll have eyes on me at all times.That’s why I’ve decided that I need to make my escape the night before.

And I know it’s not going to be easy.

I’ve maintained my workouts daily with what I can do from my room because I need to keep my strength up. Especially because I know I’m not getting out of here without a fight.

A couple of days ago, as I made my way back to my room, I managed to grab a fire poker when Carson had his back turned, grabbing himself another drink after making me dance for him. It’s been hidden under my mattress and I have a feeling I’m going to need to use it.

It’s been killing me to play nice with him and my parents during all their planning sessions. I’ve been quiet, agreeable, the way they expect the demure Maxine to behave. I nod along to everything they suggest because I’m not going to be around to see any of it, nor do I want to be.

“Yes, that sounds good.”
