Page 37 of Mine to Keep
My heart clenches. The last time I heard that was…nope, not going to think about that.
“Thanks, little one.”
He looks up at me with a scowl as Javier chuckles beside me. “I’m not that small. You two are just big.”
Both Javier and I crack up laughing.
“It’s my name for you. Just like he’s my baby boy,” I kiss Javier then watch his eyes glaze over with lust, “you’re my little one. Is that okay?” I kiss Talon before he can answer, swallowing the moan that bubbles up his throat.
“Yeah,” he says in a husky tone when I release his lips. “Definitely okay.”
I chuckle as I lead them down the road.
Just as we reach the train station, we see our train at the platform. I have no idea how long it’s been there, so I say, “Run!”
With laughter tickling my ears, we all run through the doors just as they’re closing. Talon and Javier fall against me, breathing heavily and giggling. I wrap my arms around them, kissing their foreheads.
The train pulls out of the station, but before it does, I catch a glimpse of a red-haired woman and her brown-haired partner, hurrying down the platform looking around frantically.
Even though my mind is telling me it’s nothing, those same alarm bells ring in my head. Seeing them on the train platform after the sketchy shit the pub?
Nah, they were tourists that just missed their train.
That’s all.
I have to tell myself that, or I’ll lose my shit.

let me see
“You’re so warm,”Talon says as he nuzzles against my chest.
“Want me to pull the blanket higher?” I ask.
“Nah. You and Javier are blanket enough.”
I chuckle, turning into Talon, who is nestled between both me and Javier, claiming the spot when we got out of the shower last night.
After we got back to the hotel and showered, we tumbled into my bed, too tired to share anything but soft kisses. It was all the same to me, since my body is still catching up on sleep I’ve missed over the past few months.
Even though we agreed to sleep in the larger bed, we all gravitated to my room, cuddling close together.
Now, both Talon and Javier’s legs are threaded through mine, and they’re both turned into me. One of my arms is under Talon’s head and the other rests lazily on Javier’s hip. They both still have their eyes closed, but we’ve all been awake for the past hour. I like watching them, though.
Javier, with his swarthy skin, prominent cheekbones and plump mouth, and Talon with his flawless dark brown skin, slightly chubby cheeks, and beautiful bow lips. They are…fuck, they’re perfect. There’s something about them that settlessomething in my chest, making me feel whole for the first time in years.
“What are you thinking about?” Javier asks, cracking an eye open to look at me.
I grin at him. “How did you know I was thinking of anything?”
He shrugs. “You don’t seem like the type whose mind ever stops wandering. It’s okay. I’m the same.”
Talon pipes up. “He really is. While I’m more a go-with-the-flow type.”
Javier laughs and kisses the back of Talon’s neck. “That explains this trip.” They both tense, and I understand why.
Fucking Cole. I should have stayed and fucked him up more when I went to his apartment. He probably only had a broken nose, when I should have dislocated his fucking jaw and rearranged his fucking face.
