“What kind of father would put his kid at risk like that?” Bear adds, shaking his head in disbelief.
“I haven’t told Mira yet about Ryan or my stalker. She’d insist we move, possibly do a full identity change. I just can’t face it.”
“But if you tell Mira, the cops could just interview Volkov, find out if he’s the one behind all this.”
I take a deep breath, preparing to tell them the worst news of all. “I can’t, because Viktor Volkov was released from prison three months ago. He got out on a technicality.”
“Shit, Harper, why didn’t you say something sooner? If not to us, then to Mira?” Wolf says, pacing the room.
“I guess I was just burying my head in the sand, praying that he couldn’t possibly have found me. I didn’t think he would look for me so soon, that he would find me so easily. I kept tryingto find other explanations.” I admit, feeling pathetic and foolish. “I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want to scare you off, plus they drill it into us how we’re not supposed to reveal our identity. Then, I didn’t tell Mira because I didn’t want to leave. I don’t want to leave. I’m happy here, and there’s no way I could ask all of you to uproot your lives, but I can’t leave you either.”
“Don’t worry, you’re not going anywhere; we’ll protect you,” Wolf promises.
“How? You don’t know what he’s like, what he’s capable of,” I say fearfully.
“Because he doesn’t know what we’re capable of,” Hawk says darkly.
“Look, Harper, if you want to leave, to run away and hide again, we’ll understand. But if you stay, I promise we’ll protect you,” Wolf says.
“I want to stay. Now that he’s out and found me so easily, what’s to stop him from doing it again? I don’t want to run for the rest of my life. I can’t uproot my life and leave everyone I care about behind again. Mira wouldn’t even be able to know my new identity if I did. I don’t want to lose you all, not now that I’ve finally found you and found happiness. I won’t let Viktor take that from me,” I pause. All three men are looking at me and the compassion and love I see in their eyes almost undoes me. I continue, “He took everything, my life, eventually my marriage. Ryan never got over the resentment of giving up everything for me. He believed that if he didn’t have things, they would somehow magically be better for him. He blamed his lack of success and fulfillment on me. I’ve spent six years being terrified that one day Viktor would find me and get his revenge. I don’twant to be afraid any longer,” I say, determined, wiping the tears from my eyes.
“That’s my girl, we’ll make this fucker pay,” Wolf promises.
Hawk clears his throat. “Seeing as we’re confessing things. I think I know how we can catch the guy who’s leaving the messages.”
“Why the fuck didn’t you mention it before?” Bear snaps, with uncharacteristic venom in his voice.
“Because it involves using Harper as bait.”
I reply without hesitation. “I’ll do it. It’s time to end this.”

We spend the day planning. Jenny’s safely in bed, tucked up asleep, oblivious and excited for the sleepover she’s going to have tomorrow. I feel confident in our plan, but there are still so many variables, with so many potential pitfalls. When murmurs of needing a good night’s sleep begin, I shake my head. I can’t be apart from them, not tonight.
“Will you all stay here with me tonight? I need all of you.”
“Of course we will,” Bear replies, pulling me to his chest, and I inhale the comforting smell of his skin.
“Nothing bad will happen, you’ll be right there listening in,” I tell them, as much to reassure myself as to reassure them.
“We’ll find this bastard and make him pay,” Wolf promises.
“It will all be over soon,” Bear says reassuringly.
“I know,” I reply with a small smile, touching the warm tangle of his beard, standing on tiptoe so I can kiss his soft lips.
That kiss changes the energy in the room as I’m suddenly overcome with the need to be with them, to connect with them on a deeper, physical level. The guys sense the shift, too. With practiced ease, Bear lifts me, carrying me upstairs to my bedroom, kissing me as we go.
He sits me on the edge of the bed and I tug my shirt over my head, pulling at his with a hungry need. Wolf comes behind me, kissing my shoulder and unhooking my bra. My breasts tumble free, and Bear catches a nipple in his mouth, making me gasp. There’s a flurry of movement as we all wrestle our clothes off.
I’m filled with an aching need for them. To be with them. To show them exactly what they mean to me. Bear moves me further up the bed, tenderly kissing me and laying me down before he works his way down my body. As usual, he enjoys paying extra attention to my breasts, nuzzling between them, teasing my nipples, and taking his time to worship them. Hawk and Wolf sit on either side of me at the top of the bed. I reach out to stroke their hardening cocks with each hand as Bear continues his exploration of my body.
He parts my thighs with strong, assured hands, and I can feel myself getting wet from the sheer anticipation. He buries his face between my legs, his breath warm as his tongue flicks out to linger on my clit, tasting me. His fingers dance along my slit as he strokes me, getting me wetter and wetter, my slickness coating his fingers as they glide inside me.
Hawk and Wolf reach out to squeeze and stroke my nipples, sending a direct line of pleasure through my body towhere Bear continues to worship my pussy, eating me like a starving man. I turn my head to Hawk, licking the salty precum from the tip of his hard cock, and he groans as I take him in my mouth. I can feel Wolf’s gaze on me, watching. I know the sight is turning him on, and it makes me even hornier. I take Hawk’s cock as deep as I can in my mouth. So big it makes me gag a little.
Wolf moves his hand to join Bear’s between my legs. It feels incredible as they both touch me, an unexpected and exciting sensation. Wolf’s fingers stray lower, stroking my asshole and making me moan with aroused surprise.
