"Someday," was all I could say right now. Watching all that fucking robbed my brain of coherent thought.

Brooks moaned his agreement, and then he was coming inside Leah, his grunts and groans in unison with Connor as he found his release inside Riley.

My eyes were all on Leah as she came for a third time, her breasts bouncing, breaths ragged, cheeks red. In that moment, she was never more beautiful.

Then and there, I fell in love with her.

LEAH

I didn't knowwhat time it was. Didn't care. All I knew was the ache in my legs burned like fire. From my toes all the way up my thighs was pure agony. I tried to roll over and whimpered from the pain.

"Leah?" A sleepy voice came from beside me. Riley. He lay on one side of me, Connor on the other. "Are you okay?"

"Yes. No." My eyes were full of hot tears, which leaked down my cheeks, even as I brushed them away.

"Why, what?" The bed moved and the lamp beside it turned on with a click. Riley was looking at me, concern in his blue eyes. "Shit. Flare-up?"

Mutely, I managed to nod.

"What's going on?" Connor rolled over and rubbed his face. He blinked a couple of times and frowned. "Did you say flare-up? You have something for the pain?"

"On my…" I flapped a hand roughly in the direction of my dresser before drawing back in on myself.

"I'll get it." Riley rolled off the bed, walking naked to the dresser to pick up a bottle of painkillers. He tossed them to Connor and disappeared out the door, coming back a moment later with a glass of water.

"Can you sit up?" Connor tipped a couple of pills onto his palm and closed the bottle again.

I couldn't respond. If I moved, it would hurt. If I lay still, it would hurt. Lying still was the easier of the two.

"Come on, be a good girl and sit up. You need to take these." He placed his hands on my shoulders and gently guided me so I was barely sitting up against the back pillows. Taking the glass from Riley, he lifted it to my lips and waited until I parted them before tipping a little bit of water inside. The pills were next.

"Be a good girl and swallow." He smirked at the innuendo.

I swivelled my gaze toward him, but this was not the time to be a brat. I swallowed down the pills and lay back down.

"What's wrong?" Brooks appeared in the doorway, Josiah right behind him. There wasn't enough room in the bed for five, so they slept in the spare room. Or at least, they were sleeping. Now, they were both wide awake.

"Flare-up," Riley said, keeping his voice low like he didn't want to disturb me too much. As if he might make the pain worse.

"What can we do?" Josiah hurried in and sat on the side of the bed, careful not to put any weight on me.

"Heat packs," Brooks said. "Where are they?" He glanced around before spotting them on the dresser. He grabbed them up and disappeared out the door. The microwave beeped and started to hum, suggesting he'd put them inside to warm them.

Connor eased the covers off me and moved down to start slowly massaging my feet.

"You don't have to do that," I whispered hoarsely. I felt bad for waking them all up. If they were sleeping in their own houses, this wouldn't have happened. I would have managed to get my painkillers and heat pack. Somehow.

"Yes, we do," Connor said simply. "That's what we're here for." His hands were magic, soothing my skin and taking some of the edge off the pain.

"Here." Brooks handed the heat packs to Josiah, who placed one to either side of my legs.

"Tell me if that gets too hot," Josiah said. "Or cold. Or…" Out of options, he shrugged.

"It's perfect," I said. Of course Brooks would know exactly how long to put them on for. He'd seen me do it. I hadn't know he'd paid that much attention. Clearly he was attentive in ways I hadn't even noticed. I appreciated it now.

"That's helping?" Riley hovered behind Connor, his cock swinging between his thighs every time he moved.
