"I try." I gave him a careful bow from the waist.
"You can say that again." Brooks smirked. "You've always tried my patience."
I snorted loudly. "That's bullshit and you know it. You don't have any patience."
He opened and closed his mouth a couple of times before grunting. "Okay, I'll give you that. But if I had patience, you'd try it."
"We all know he loves her," Riley whispered loudly.
"No shit." Connor started to place the burgers on plates and carried them over to the table. "We all do."
I looked at him in surprise. I hadn't expected him to make that sort of declaration, especially not in front of everyone else.
"Yeah, we do," Josiah said softly. "Even if some of us tried not to."
"I didn't try not to," Riley said. "I love Leah and I love Connor."
"Love you too," Connor muttered.
"I'm falling for all of you," I said after a couple of moments of getting my emotions under control. "You guys are all amazing."
"No, you." Riley put his arms around my shoulder and guided me over to the table. "You've been standing long enough. Sit."
He was right, I was and I was starting to feel it. Gratefully, I sat and watched all of them take their places around me.
A girl could get used to this.
"Eat." Connor placed a fresh beer in front of me and took his own seat. I almost missed his hint of anxiety as he glanced at my burger. He was worried I might not like it, or his cookingwouldn't be up to my expectations. Judging by the smell, it was going to taste incredible.
I picked up my burger and took a bite, moaning at the taste. "Are you sure you shouldn't be a chef?"
The side of his mouth twitched up in a hint of a smile. "I'm sure, but glad you like it."
"Connor makes the best burgers on the whole continent," Riley said.
"They're all right," Brooks said.
Connor bristled. "All?—"
"He's trying to get a rise out of you," I told him. "Ignore him. He's a shit disturber from way back."
Connor muttered something that sounded like 'he's a fucking prick,' but he settled back in his chair and started eating.
Josiah gave me a look like he wasn't sure what he'd signed up for with the other guys.
I reached over to pat his arm. "They'll get used to each other."
"If they don't kill each other first," he said softly. "On the other hand, that leaves more of you for me." He didn't seem to mind that too much. Of course he wouldn't, sharing with three other guys was a big deal. Especially when we'd just started to get to know each other.
I couldn't help thinking about his piercings, wondering how they'd feel inside my pussy. The idea of the additional friction was enough to make me wet as hell. I didn't like the idea he got them to punish himself, but I'd reap the benefits of their presence. And, I hoped, so would he. Piercings were supposed to give additional sensitivity, weren't they? Who knows, he might even inspire the others to get piercings as well. If they wanted to, they had my complete support. I might even get my nipples pierced the next time I was in the city. Why not live a little?
“And me," Riley said, breaking through my thoughts. He'd probably be first in line to have his cock pierced if any of themdid. And possibly his nipples as well. I could easily imagine him naked, with glittering metal in various places on his muscular body. Unless of course they were a safety issue during extreme sport.
"No one is killing me," Connor said. "Not even that dickhead."
"What he said." Brooks gave him a dark look. At the same time, he seemed to be enjoying himself. As if he were starting to see the others like brothers, complete with brotherly banter. With the bonus of a hint of desire for them to tear each other's clothes off and fuck until they were both boneless.
"Just think, I could have grown up with these three." I jerked a thumb toward Connor, Riley and Josiah.
