“Wah, wah, wah, when you left, how long did it take you to become a pussy?” I yelled and he growled and swam towards me, I shrieked and jumped out of the pool right as he got to the edge. I stuck my tongue out at him. “Na, na, na, na, na,” I sang. I was having way too much fun with people I thought I was still resentful towards.

I spun around when he jumped out of the pool and walked straight into Hunter and Grayson, and Ryder pressed against my back. I looked up at them and it took everything I had to not rub against their chest and purr like a kitten. “What was that about me not getting you?” Ryder whispered.

I huffed. “Well this is just an unfair advantage to use yourwalking sexfriends to distract me from running away successfully…” I tapped my chin and smiled. “Actually, I think it means I win because you couldn’t get me on your own.”

Ryder grabbed my waist and leaned forward to whisper in my ear, “No, I still win, because I’m the first one to have his hands on you,” he chuckled. I rolled my eyes.

“Actually, that was Zane, and look how fast he ran. Be careful, I may have the fucking crotch cooties.” I heard Zane make a sound and I ignored him. “Anyways, whatever, sore loser…” I grumbled and pushed against the wall of muscles in front of me.

“Are you guys going to let me pass or are we having an orgy? I read about those; totally fun.” They choked while Zane reached over and grabbed my hand, bringing me up against him. Seriously, all this manhandling is doing shit to me, secret vaginal things. The kind that are going to have me humping my damn pillow. X took that opportunity to throw her full strength at the three boys behind me and they all fell into the pool.

She swished her tail and walked off. “My hooman.” I shook my head at her declaration and laughed.

“She isn’t a big fan of manhandling, apparently,” I giggled as they all trudged out the water but quickly stopped when they stripped off their shirts.

“Holy shit,” I whispered, I swiped my hand across my mouth because I was most assuredly drooling. I mean, how couldn’t I? Ryder, Hunter, and Grayson looked smugly at me while I stared until I felt my hand get tugged on again.

I looked up at Zane, who had the cutest tick in his jaw and refused to look past my eyes. “What are you wearing and why are you wearing it?” I laughed at him. Really laughed. It's been two years, and honestly, it could’ve been two hours and it wouldn’t have made a lick of difference, we were not going to just be okay. I was still hurt, apparently, and I couldn't get a read on him. I wish I could just completely avoid him right now; my stupid heart was in pain. Although now, what Dad told me is certainly a complication. I sighed, I was going to have to deal with that come Monday, today and tomorrow were mine and I was going to enjoy it, with pranks, torture, and sexual tension. He could bitch all he wants but I know damn sure despite how we felt about each other right now, nut punch and all, deep down we still thought about that night.

Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t suddenly make me that girl who forgets everything, but I was going to embrace my freedom, whichever way I wanted to. Ryder, Hunter, and Grayson were fucking gorgeous and I felt something weird around them. Have you seen Hotel Transylvania? Yeah, I felt the zings. Sigh, women can be sexually free, they just needed to embrace it, even if you zing the shit out of some extra dicks.

“It is a bathing suit, Zane. See, there are these things that you wear in the water that cover up private parts from being exposed to the world. Would you like me to demonstrate how I put it on? I could take it off and slide it back on and show you how if you’re confused. It would be hard considering how wet I am but…” I laughed at his expression. “I imagine you’re dressed every morning by a fucking house elf.” I went to untie the top of the suit and he grabbed my hand and snarled. He and Father should have a snarling contest, I’m sure it would be quite entertaining to watch, with a face shield of course. I caught the sound of choking from one of the guys in the back, Ryder was thumping Hunter in the back while Grayson just looked at my hands being held by Zane. I turned my head to look at Grayson’s face taking in the hyper focused, heated look, the way he licked his lips and shivered. He winks at me and I look away,my vagina is my own worst fucking enemy.

“What I mean,” he bit out, “was why are you wearing this bathing and not something less revealing. For fuck’s sake, Hudson, it is see-through.” He waved his hands as if that was going to suddenly conjure Delores Umbridge’s kitten covered snorkel gear.

“Oh, you mean like the shit I used to be forced to wear back at home? Yeah, I threw all of that shit away and have fully embraced being a sexier version of me. You should try it, but maybe not with this bathing suit.” I turned my head and pretended to look him over. “Well, not all of us can get the good genes.” I winked at him and reached over to give him a nice hug, soaking him. He pushed me off of him and I laughed and side-stepped him to get into the kitchen through the sliding doors behind him, suddenly hungry. Except, I was hungry for something else at this point too,I’m going to put my toys to work tonight.

I walked in expecting a kitchen, but it wasn’t just a kitchen, it was a freaking playground with knives. It had every chef’s dream; stainless steel appliances and the most charming light granite waterfall style island surrounded by stools on one side. The entire kitchen led into an open concept living room with two large light grey brick columns on either side of the area, the only indication that you were going into another section of the home. God, it was beautiful. I looked around in a daze until my stomach grumbled and I realized I was still hungry. Fine, stupid stomach, discovery later, food now. And with a house full of grown men, there should definitely be something to eat.

Noticing the music from outside played inside, I danced and sang along as I started taking stuff out of the fridge to make a sandwich and searched around the kitchen looking for the bread. My lips pursed and I started going through the cabinets and drawers and realized one drawer was full of condoms. I rolled my eyes, even as a spike of jealousy went through me. Ugh, I ignored that and reached up to one of the cabinets and found the bread, but, of course, with these 6 feet fuckers, that shit was high as fuck, I reached for it and I felt a warm body press up against mine and reach over me to pass me the bread. I turned my body to see Hunter now firmly pressed against me, and I swallowed thickly at the expression on his face as he looked down at me hungrily. His body radiated tension, he felt like he was a coiled snake ready to strike and sorry, but unlike Samuel L Jackson, I was totally ready for some snakes to board this motherfucking pussy plane. I shifted my body as much as I could with the damn granite sheetrock parked in front of me and pressed closer against him. I drew my hand up his chest, reaching up to caress his jaw, then I moved across his shoulder, down his arm and snatched the bread out of his hands.

“Thanks, dickhead. Much appreciated. Chivalry and all that.” I ignored their pointed stares and pushed him off, ignoring him as he adjusted himself and then I continued to make, then eat my sandwich. I chewed and looked at them while they stared at me.

“So, are you guys going to just sit there and stare? I haven’t seen your asses in a few years,” I said, pointing at Ryder, Hunter, and Grayson. “And I haven’t seen or heard from Zane in two, hell I didn’t even know he was still alive. All this big dick energy is stifling. I’m sure you’ll be glad to have me and X around to balance it all out.” Speaking of said lion, she pranced herself right into the room and sat down next to me.

Ryder laughed, “Yeah, we’re looking forward to stifling something all right.” Zane smacked him upside the head.

“That’s not even the correct use of the word, idiot,” Zane grumbled. Ryder just laughed harder. I smiled and rolled my eyes, finished off my sandwich and cleaned up, walking around them to put everything away.

“You lost the right to smack anyone who wants to flirt with me two years ago, asshole,” I threw over my shoulder while I cleaned up.

They even watched me while I did that. I walked to the other side of the island where they were sitting and pushed myself up to sit on it. Not sanitary but whatever.

“What’s with the lion, Hudson?” Grayson asked, stepping closer to try to rub her head, X narrowed her eyes and watched him while he scratched her ear.

Eat, now?

“No, X, no eat.” I laughed as Gray pulled his hand back slowly.

“Like him, he is not scared, no one is. I like that.”

“She said she likes you all because you're not scared of her.”

“But still eat if they hurt you.”

“But she will eat you if you hurt me.” They laughed, but X growled. She wasn’t joking. I smirked.

“X?” Ryder asked.
