Crawling up off my hot man pillow, I joined him to see what I wanted. Anxiety shot through me again. What did Bren think of me letting Jett fuck me on a lounge chair. Was it weird that I wanted a hand wrapped around my throat?
Brennan ruffled my hair with his hand as his body touched mine. “Settle, Grace.”
The growl in his voice did the exact opposite.
“I trust Jett to give you what you need–as should you. You obviously need a little extra with what you’ve been through, and there’s no shame in that.” His hand rubbed the back of my neck like he had this morning.
The hand stayed there as I entered my selection on the tablet. Even though he didn’t purr, the simple act of his hand on the back of my neck like that did something to me.
My pussy muscles twitched. While they’d gotten two delicious cocks, what they hadn’t gotten was a nice thick knot.
What was going on? While there were times I wanted Brennan, did he want me? Or was this just caring about me? I was so confused.
“My turn.” Evan broke the moment, entering his selection on the tablet.
I used that interruption to duck out of Brennan’s grasp. “I’m going to check on Riley.”
Slipping out, I blinked at the bright sun. My sunglasses were inside. As was my wrap.
Wes was now being buried in the sand by Riley. Wes. More anxiety shot through me. Wes sent back love and winked. Winked!
Strong arms wrapped around me as Spencer hugged me from behind. Spence. Fuck what did I do?
“Easy, Baby Girl, it’s just me,” Spencer growled in my ear, pulling me down into the low chair someone had dragged out of the cabana.
I melted into him, putting my face in the crook of his neck and breathing deep. My heart slowed, as the scent of oiled leather filled my lungs.
Why was everyone being so growly?
Spencer licked the bond mark on my neck in a possessive gesture that sent more sparks through me. His fingers traced my cheekbone. “Were you a good girl for Jett?”
His growl made me melt even more, my breath, once again, catching in my chest.
“Yes, Alpha.” It was breathy and barely there.
“I’m so glad. He’s much stricter than I am, and I’m not saving you from someone else’s punishments, Darling.” The growl turned to a purr.
I curled into his arms. He continued to hold me tight, covering me with a beach blanket.
“That’s it, just settle into my arms right there where you belong,” he purred. “Perfect.”
His praise and purrs comforted me. Spencer’s hand slipped under my bikini bottoms, hidden by the blanket. Fingers slipped inside of me. Burying my head in his shoulder, I let him play with me,in public, with only a blanket to conceal us.
I should be scandalized. But it felt so good. So much love and desire slipped through our bond as I inhaled his scent, sweet with his desire.
“That’s it, Baby Girl,” he whispered, as my body shuddered.
I hid my cries in his neck. Hand slipping out of me, his arms tightened around my body.
“There you go.” Spencer kissed my bond mark.
It wasn’t a knot. But I did feel better. Maybe after lunch I’d drag someone back to the room with me.
Until then, this was nice. I got cozy in his arms as we watched as Jett, Evan, and Brennan came back out and started playing a game with scoops and a ball. Riley made the sand-buried Wes a mermaid tail.
A little girl in a purple bathing suit ran over to Spence and me. Her brown hair was in two little poofs, and she carried a red bucket full of toys.
Her little light brown freckled face broke out into a grin. Her blue eyes, the professor’s eyes, sparkled. “There you are!”
