Somehow, I held out until she had screamed through her fourth orgasm before I rolled us once more and set a punishing pace to find my own release.

As we panted in the quiet night air afterward, her huff of a laugh caught my attention. At my questioning look, she grinned.

“Remember I asked what monster your dick was? I’m going with the Hulk. The more hits he takes, the bigger and stronger he grows.”

My bark of laughter may have woken my brothers, but it turned out it was another kind of release that I had been equally in need of.

I awoke the next morning to the smell of frying bacon and wandered out into the kitchen to find Jace in one of my t-shirts, shaking her ass and singing off-key. I smiled and leaned casually against the door frame to watch the show.

She was gorgeous. Well, she always was, but in that moment, she was so carefree that her beauty was transcendent. As she off-loaded a pan full of bacon onto a plate, she noticed me and grinned.

“Morning.”

“Morning.”

She turned away and shook her ass, heading back toward the stove.

Halfway there, she paused and faced the open dining space, a confused look on her face. She uttered something that sounded like ‘Harley’ and collapsed.

CHAPTER 47

Jacinth

Harley Quinn.In the kitchen. With the baseball bat.

I felt like I was in a freaking murder mystery.

I had woken to find Skyler still passed out beside me, comatose after our epic sex session last night. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was.

Having one sex god was a miracle. Having three?

I was going to be happily walking funny for the rest of my not-so-natural life. I had decided to make breakfast for my men, while singing the obligatory ‘I’m-sickly-happy-and-everyone-should-know-it’ anthem. I really was walking on sunshine as I cooked up all the breakfast foodstuffs in the kitchen. I danced around the space in my own world until I sensed Skyler moving into the room.

Putting a little extra shake into my booty, I was just planning...

Harley came striding through the house like she was on a mission. With a start of surprise, I realized she was gunning for me.

Was she upset that I had a body? That I was alive now?

I figured the best bet was to err on the side of caution and try to figure out what kind of crazy was going on today, but I had barely got her name out before she stopped an arm’s length away, drew back, and punched the end of her baseball bat into my chest, knocking my soul clean out of my brand-new body.

What the hell?

Skyler panicked, and I watched from my vantage point as he tried and failed to find a pulse.

He was screaming. For me? For Orion?

“Why?” I asked, keeping the accusation from my voice. Hadn’t we been through enough?

Orion came running, closely followed by Niko, who pulled up short the second he made it into the room. Of course, he could see me.

“This is the way it has to be,” Harley said, almost gently.

I had never seen her look so serious. Her eyes were grave as she watched the guys struggle to reconcile the idea of losing me again so soon after working so hard to get me back.

All of a sudden, I wasn’t feeling quite so amicable.
