CHAPTER18

Braylon couldn’t believe what was happening. He’d been so nervous about hurting her, and he’d never expected anything this powerful. His entire body was shaking as he dropped on top of her, found her lips, and kissed her deeply.

She moaned into his mouth, her hands wandering up and down his back, finding his ass and gripping him there next.

His friends were right there with him, each of them touching him, giving him strength with a firm palm on his back, his shoulder, and his neck. He was grateful for this gift. There were no words.

He would never be able to thank them, but they didn’t need thanks. He could feel their combined gratitude for being invited to join, to watch, to stroke her skin and soak up her joy.

Haley belonged to all of them, and they would each get this experience thousands of times in the future. But the gift of being first was something he could never repay.

When he finally released her lips and lifted his face a few inches from hers, his arms were shaking. He didn’t want to crush her, but he wasn’t ready to pull out and leave her warmth yet either.

She stared up at him, her hands still wandering. “Marian left out a lot,” she whispered, a slight grin turning up the corners of her sexy mouth.

He chuckled.

“Also,” she continued, “if there was even a twinge of pain, I don’t remember it now. How often exactly do people do that?” She glanced to one side and then the other.

Braylon groaned. Maybe they all did. He planted one more kiss on her lips. “As often as they want, baby. There are four of us. You will not be left wanting.”

Storm cupped her face and leaned in to steal a kiss. “And, princess, sometimes you will have sex with more than one of us at the same time.”

Braylon watched her face as she narrowed her brows and then her eyes went wide, and then her body trembled. He was pretty sure she clenched her butt cheeks. “Oh,” she whispered.

“Also, let me point out,” Braylon continued, “you’re the first woman I’ve ever had sex with without a condom. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t do that. It would be irresponsible. But you’re already pregnant, and none of us will be having sex with other people again in this lifetime, so…”

She nodded slowly as if this hadn’t really occurred to her either. After chewing on the corner of her lip, she said, “What’s a condom?”

Braylon set his forehead against hers. “Sorry, baby. It’s a tight rubber sleeve. Men put them on their cock before having sex to keep women from getting pregnant or catching any diseases.”

“Oh. That makes sense.”

“You are so precious,” Riggs stated.

“I’m going to reluctantly ease out of you and find something to clean you up with,” Braylon informed her. The last thing he wanted to do was pull out. He could stay here forever, but he was crushing her, and she needed sleep. They all did.

She winced as he slid out, not unexpected. Braylon stood, not giving a shit that everyone could see his naked body. He turned around and found a stack of cloths on a shelf, returning to wipe between her legs.

She shuddered and rolled onto her side, curling into Storm’s embrace.

Storm pulled her against him and kissed the top of her head.

“You’re so comfortable,” she whispered. “I could sleep right here.”

Storm rubbed her back. “And you shall, princess.”

“I’ve never slept with another person,” she said, her voice groggy.

“You’ll never sleep alone again,” Riggs stated as he kissed her shoulder, nibbling a path to her neck. Then he slid down behind her and planted his front against her back.

“I need to put my clothes on…” Her words were slurred.

“No, you don’t, honey. We’ll keep you warm,” Riggs informed her.

Braylon grabbed his jeans and stepped into them as he watched the most important people in his life snuggle into each other. His heart was overflowing. Even Rush was sitting behind Riggs watching the three of them with reverence and affection.

Resigned to the fact that he wouldn’t be claiming a spot against the woman he’d just made love to, Braylon dropped down onto the pallet behind Storm and stared at the ceiling.
