“Merry Christmas, baby doll,” Ricky chimes in.

I just shake my head. Of course they did. But I’m not angry. I’m so grateful I can’t help the tears that now choke up my throat, stopping me from being able to speak. “I love it,” I get out.

I throw my hands around Alex because he’s closest, then Ricky, Geovani, and Maddox, feeling a nervous flutter of excitement run through me. We’re alone out here for a few days. Alex doesn’t have a media empire to run, Ricky has taken time away from the patients he’s started taking on—illegally, of course, because he doesn’t have his license, but that doesn’t bother him when he knows he’s helping people the clinic turns away. Frankie was just the start for him. Geovani and Maddox are off their training schedule, with Maddox’s next big fight rescheduled till next year, and me, well, I’m still trying to work out what to do with my papa’s businesses. The boys helped me sell off the car dealership, and with the tightening of the police around our town, we have let the territory my papa was running go to the Iron Strykers. They were more willing to deal with them than I was. But there is still the online casino, and while it runs itself for the most part, it leaves me with this niggling feeling that tells me I should be doing something with the stupid amount of money I’m making because of it.

I feel Maddox’s hands still on me. One travels down my back, landing on my waist as he pulls me into him. He kisses my neck softly and something inside me turns to a melted pile on the floor. For a second, I let my eyes close, and I lean back into him.When I reopen my eyes, I find Geovani watching us, his lips quirked up at the sides in a sexy question.

We haven’t done anything in so long. I was given the all-clear from my doctor a couple of weeks ago but haven’t felt myself still, and while the boys are respecting my space and time to heal, I can see how desperate they are to have what we used to. It’s getting to the point where I am as well. “I planned a little surprise myself,” I say, feeling shy all of a sudden under all of their attention.

“Do we get it today or are you going to make us wait till tomorrow?” Ricky smirks, way too excited.

“After you assholes blindfolding me for an hour, I should make you wait.” I roll my eyes even though the smirk on my lips is giving me away.

Geovani steps in front of me, his hand moving to cup my face. “But you won’t, will you, Red.” There is warning to his tone that flicks a switch inside of me and sends signals right through to my lady parts, or maybe that’s because I can feel how hard Maddox is, his monster dick pressing into my ass.

My cheeks glow red, feeling embarrassed all of a sudden. What if they think my surprise is stupid compared to theirs? I mean, they bought me a fucking house, and not just any house but a stunning country home.

“What’s wrong, baby doll?”

“Umm. My present isn’t quite as extravagant as yours.” I bite into my bottom lip.

“Your room is the first on the left, I dropped your bag in there already. Why don’t you go get it and let us be the judge,” Alex says from behind us. I turn back toward him and see the longing in his eyes. He’s just as desperate to touch me, but he’s been holding off. He’s waiting for me to give him the go-ahead.

“Okay, but if you hate it, don’t say I didn’t warn you.” I move out of Maddox and Geovani’s hold on me and wander past theother two. Feeling all their eyes on me, my stomach dances with butterflies. Oh, dear God, why am I so nervous about this? I move down the hallway and push open the door Alex said was my room. Inside I find the bag I packed on the end of the bed. I close the door and lock it, not wanting any of them to come and find me before I’m ready.

Inside my bag I find what I’m looking for. I bury my head in my hands.What the fuck are you doing, Harley? This is stupid.And I kind of know it is but also hope that they will understand the sentiment behind it. I love how patient they have been with me and the way they have all taken care of me over the last six weeks since I lost the baby. They were hurting too, but they were always there for me above and beyond their own needs. Fuck it. I undo the zipper on my skirt and let it fall to the floor then remove my top, bra, and panties.

Then before I can over think it any more, I put on the ridiculous set of lingerie Sloane talked me into buying as a Christmas present for them. Last time I go to her for dating advice. I do the red satin ribbon up in a bow right in the middle of my tits, then I sit on the bed while I slip the matching red six-inch heels in place. I fluff out my hair and take a deep breath. I can’t even look at myself in the mirror or I will chicken the fuck out.

I pop open the door. “Okay,” I call down the hall. “I need you all to cover your eyes until I’m ready.”

I hear a few murmurs of protest, but I assume they are complying. I inhale deeply and stride down the hall with my shoulders back and head held high.

Chapter 44

“Holy fucking shit,” Ihear Ricky murmur as I enter the living room, his eyes lit up with mischief.

“Hey, you’re supposed to have your eyes covered,” I complain, not that I’m at all surprised one of them couldn’t follow my instructions.

“Don’t regret cheating for a second.” He chuckles cheekily, not giving two shits about the way his eyes eat up my half-naked body.

My gaze narrows in on him and a hand comes to my hip. “You will when I don’t let you come play.” It’s then the others uncover their eyes as well, three sets of heated eyes all locking on to me and my scantily clad body. I feel like someone just turned on the spotlight and I’m center stage. Fuck, this was a bad idea. I’m going to kill Sloane.

I cover my face, heat radiating off me. “Well, I was supposed to be a sexy present for you to unwrap, but you just get me,” I mutter, wishing I’d had something to drink before I tried this.

A low wolf whistle escapes Geovani’s lips. “Fuck, Red.” He adjusts his pants, taking a step closer to me.

From my other side I hear a growl rumble from Maddox.

Alex steps in closer, and the predatory gleam he used to have in his eyes is now back. “Fuck, princess.” He runs a hand through his hair, tugging at the ends as he moves closer to me, and I can see all his restraint is gone.

I look between them. My boys, all so gorgeous in their own ways and all so very mine in every way. This year should have broken all of us. And in some ways it did. But in others, we are stronger than ever. “I know it’s not a house. But…” Alex presses his finger to my lips. “You’re the most extravagant present I have ever been given.” His tongue flicks out, and he licks over his lips slowly, the dark gleam in his eyes telling me he’s imagining exactly what he’s about to do to me.

I suck in a nervous breath, wanting him so desperately. I want them all. It’s been too long.

He reaches out and strokes up the side of my face, lacing his fingers into my hair before he tugs me closer to him, his lips finding mine in an urgent collision. I melt into him, kissing him back just as fiercely. This is what I have been missing in my life.

From my side, I feel Ricky’s hands on my ass feeling up and over the soft lacy fabric of the thong. His touch sends a shiver over me. “You look so damn sexy in this little number, I don’t want to unwrap you.”
