Today has been perfect. I feel like every time I’m with these guys, I feel this way. Like nothing can touch us.

It’s almost as if we live in our own little worlds. Even Ezra has been different this time. I feel like I’m starting to get somewhere I’ve always dreamed of yet had no idea I wanted. It’s such an odd feeling, but I’m fulfilled.

It’s Friday, though, and I didn’t do my normal Thursday live. Instead, I did a prerecorded video discussing the submission.

The disappointed comments made me feel like shit. I hate disappointing my viewers.

“What’s wrong?” Santi sits next to me on the couch, looking at my phone.

“I didn’t go live last night or Wednesday. My viewers aren’t happy.”

He grunts. “Want me to beat them all up? I can do that, you know.”

I giggle, rolling my eyes. “No. I think I need to go live tonight though. Do you think the guys will mind letting me use your studio?”

That’s right. These guys have a studio in their place to record their videos. It’s ridiculous, but I think it will work nicely for what I want to do. Besides, I didn’t want to out that I’m with the guys without talking to them first.

I’ve posted a few photos, but I’ve made sure not to say who I’m with. Until they give me the go-ahead, I want to be cautious.

“Sure. Why don’t you go get set up and let me get the guys? We can discuss what we should talk about before we go live.” He leans in, kissing my lips.

When he jumps up, his words catch up. “Wait, I didn’t say you guys needed to go live with me.”

He stops at the entrance, turning to look at me. “No, but you aren’t going live without me, Ror. Give me ten minutes to gather the guys.”

I let out a sigh. The man can’t help himself. Not that I really mind. I like the idea of being on camera with them.

Honestly, the thought of claiming every single one of them has been riding me hard. Even Ezra and I haven’t fully consummated our relationship yet.

Leaving my spot on the couch, I stop by the bathroom to freshen up. Then I head to the studio.

Ezra and Liam are already there waiting for me.

“Hey, guys.” I smile.

Liam rolls his eyes, pulling me into his side to nuzzle my neck. Liam loves touching me. Well, not only me. He’s always touching one of us in one way or another. His love language being touch makes so much sense now.

Santi and Drake come into the room behind me, closing the door.

“Set your phone up on the tripod there. We aren’t livestreaming from all of our accounts tonight. Only yours,” Ezra tells me.

I do as he asks. When I turn, I see they have added a fifth seat right in the middle. Drake and Liam will be on my right, while Ezra and Santi will be on my left.

The sight makes my heart skip a beat. It’s like I’ve always belonged there. The feeling is so heady that I don’t move for a good thirty seconds.

“Miss Blake, will you come sit, please?”

I nod, moving to sit between them.

“Good. Now tell me what this live is about,” Ezra asks.

“I figured I would do an ‘ask me anything’ session. Obviously, I wasn’t going to mention you guys or the party, but if you are going to be in it with me, I kind of have to.”

When did his eyes get so gray that they almost look silver? I could get lost in them.

“Snap out of it, Miss Blake,” Ezra teases, squeezing my thigh. “I don’t mind answering questions. Drake is a moderator for you, so he can moderate. The rest of us will choose questions to ask you. You ready for our rules now, Miss Blake?”

My mind flashes back to the night he broke my heart. Ezra reaches up, cupping my cheek, telling me he didn’t miss the pain I must have shown.
