Simon stalked over to me as I reached for him.

Evan stepped between us. “Seriously, both of you carb up.”

Jerrick handed me my plate again. I eyed Simon as I shoved fettucine carbonara into my mouth.

Evan looked between me and Simon, and grinned. “My day was boring. I’ve got next week off, so my third-grade gym class was extra rambunctious.”

I waved a piece of garlic bread at Evan. “If you don’t want me to jump you before I finish my food, don’t talk about how adorable you are with your class.”

Evan’s beachwater scent grew stronger. “Yes ma’am.”

After the fastest meal in history, I dragged them to my bedroom. I clambered onto the bed before turning around to face them. Simon stood, watching me like a hawk, as Evan stalked around the side of the bed. Jerrick hung back, standing in my doorway.

I leaned back on my elbows, languid warmth curling through my body, like I was taking the world’s most luxurious bubble bath.

Simon glanced at Evan, who shifted his weight forward and then stopped. Evan looked at Jerrick, who looked between him to Simon.

I cocked my head. “Everything okay? I expected to be covered in men by now.”

“Yes.” Evan brushed his hand on the bedspread. “Are you comfortable? Should we…?” He glanced at Simon and Jerrick again.

I sat up. “None of you have been shy until now, so what’s going on?”

My pussy wanted to know why I wasn’t knotted and coming already. Liquid heat curled through me, sending small pulses of desire to my breasts, my stomach, and lower.

Simon was staring at me like a drowning man looking at dry land, but Evan and Jerrick kept looking at each other and then me.

Simon blinked and seemed to notice his other two packmates weren’t on the same page as him. “Evan? Jerrick?”

Evan rubbed the back of his neck. “If you’d rather start off slow with you and Simon...”

“Would you rather not be together?” I had assumed they would all want to have sex at the same time, but maybe I was wrong.

The thought of the four of us writhing together in ecstasy made heat pulse straight to my pussy. My vagina wasn’t happy and wanted to know why we weren’t in phase three: all the cumming.

Evan sucked in a breath. “I want you happy.”

“We don’t want to rush you.” Jerrick twisted his hands together.

“Ava never…” Simon started quietly. “She made sure we knew she only wanted me.”

I held my arms out. “I want all of you. If you’re not ready—"

Evan and Jerrick had closed the distance before I could get out another word. The mattress dipped as the three of them climbed on at the same time.

Evan dropped a kiss on my shoulder. “I want to be sure you’re comfortable with the three of us at the same time.”

“I want all of you. At the same time.” I figured that would cover it.

Simon slid behind me, and I leaned back against him. Jerrick sat closer to the foot of the bed, his rough hands caressing my legs.

Heat pulsed through me until I stopped thinking about how much it would hurt when they left and allowed myself to simply enjoy the feeling of their closeness.

“Evan,” I breathed. He nibbled the side of my neck, sending sparks of pleasure over my body. “Jerrick.”

My big beta trailed his hands over my legs, running them up to cup my calves then back down to my ankles.

“No bonding.” I needed the ground rules set before I went too far over the edge. “But I like biting, so I’ll probably beg for it.”
