“I’ll take her to the bathroom and clean her up. You go get a bedroom ready. Or better yet, let’s pull the mattresses out here again. She enjoys having us all with her,” Ezra tells us.

I nod, letting him pull her from our arms.

He loves the aftercare of sex. It’s why we haven’t fought him on it when we are all together. He needs it to feel like the task is complete. It’s odd, but we let him be him like he lets us be us.

I smile as he takes Aurora down the hall.

Then I jump up, moving all the furniture out of the way. Santi comes down the hall carrying his king mattress. I arrange it on the floor as he heads back down the hall. He repeats this process until we have all four beds out here. Liam helps me make the beds while Santi brings the pillows and blankets. Once it’s all set, I look down at it.

“A perfect nest for our queen, wouldn’t you say?”

Both men nod in agreement.

Then I crawl into the new bed, making myself comfortable as I wait for our girl to come join us.

Aurora is asleep in my arms as I use a wet washcloth to clean her up the best I can. A shower would be best, but she’s out. There’s no waking her up. Besides, she looks like such an angel. I can’t bear the thought of disturbing her any more than necessary.

So instead, I keep her in my arms, awkwardly moving her so that I can make sure she’s nice and clean.

This is my favorite part of sex with Aurora. Seeing how much pleasure we have brought her and caring for her so she can accept even more pleasure later. I don’t care if it makes me a caveman, I love it.

If I had to die right now, I would die happy knowing our girl is taken care of not only physically but emotionally. She will never want for anything ever again. Especially love.

Between the five of us, there’s enough love to go around to fund a small third-world country.

She doesn’t know it, but I’ve been fucking with her family too. Messing with the stocks her dad invests in. Sending porno mags to their house. Expressing interest in different religions, that way people show up at their door and refuse to leave until you hear their spiel. I mean, it’s quite easy to make someone’s life miserable.

I’ll never tell Aurora though. As much as they have hurt her, she’d never want to retaliate. That’s just who she is.

Too bad I don’t let go of grudges. I refuse to let them think they got away with treating her so poorly. They will learn that you don’t fuck with what’s mine.

I’ll keep messing with them until my anger subsides. So it will probably take years.

Note to self: look up other ways to irritate people from afar.

As soon as I have Aurora cleaned up, I take her back out to the bed. Pausing at the opening between the hall and the living room, I smile. The guys did good. It looks fit for our girl.

Moving forward, I bend my knees and gently lower Aurora. I lay her down between Drake and Santi. Liam is cuddled up on Drake’s other side.

I lean down, kissing her head softly. She’s so out she doesn’t even register the disturbance. Honestly, if she wasn’t breathing as evenly as she is, I would be concerned.

“Do you want to sleep next to her?” Santi asks quietly.

I shake my head. “You take tonight. We have the rest of our lives with her. We can take turns.”

He gives me a grateful smile.

I know he still hasn’t forgiven himself for what his sister did. Not that he could have stopped her, but he still harbors that guilt. He needs a little extra time with our girl, just like they let me have my cleanup time with her.

Maybe I should add Val to my list of people to piss off next to Aurora’s parents.

Would it be wrong to pay someone to make her their bitch and make her life hell when she’s serving her time?

We weren’t sure how this arrangement was going to work, but it’s plain to see now that it’s natural. We each give and take the way we have from our friendship for years, only now Aurora is added in. We should have never doubted it. We know each other so well that it’s like when one person makes a move, the next is already moving in tandem.

When one of us drops the ball, another is there to pick it up without a pause.
