I let out a shaky breath. I don’t know what he says, but the smile that takes over his face is breathtaking.

He leans down and brushes his lips over mine and I can’t help the small moan that escapes at the contact.

The touch of his lips becomes firmer. I bring myself to kiss him back when I feel the first touch of his tongue.

He softly touches his tongue to mine and gives me the best kiss I have ever had, and one like I have read about it books. It doesn’t last long but, when he pulls away, Asher grabs my chin and moves my head in his direction before he takes my lips in a kiss.

His lips feel softer than Ethan’s, but he kisses me like he has been waiting years to do it instead of the weeks I have known them.

Before I know what’s happening, Grayson spins my chair around claiming my lips with his. His touch is firmer and more demanding than the other two, but not any less hot.

I’m a pile of mess when he’s finished and, when he pulls away, I turn to see Levi give me a blank look before he turns around and walks back to his office.

I can’t help the pang of disappointment that comes over me that I didn’t get to feel his lips. It must show on my face with the look the guys are giving me.

“Don’t worry about him. He wants you too; he’s just having more trouble with how he’s feeling than he’s used to. It has been a long time since we all found the same woman attractive,” Asher says.

I want to question what happened, and if they have done this before because they all seem pretty comfortable with the idea already, but I can’t seem to get the question out.

“We will let you get back to work, but this isn’t over,” Ethan says with a peck to my lips. The others do the same before heading into their offices.

I let out a breath and touch my lips.

Did that really just happen?

Chapter Five

Kyla

I’m not surprised when I get home and Holly is already there. She is sitting in the living room talking with my parents. I go through the pleasantries with them until Holly pulls me away. She heads into the kitchen and grabs a couple of wine glasses and a bottle, and we make our way to my room.

I walk straight into my closet and put on a tank top and leggings. It’s what I like to relax in. I eye the shirt that Grayson gave me that I have been wearing every night to bed, and decided that I might as well slip it on. I’m going to tell Holly everything since I never keep any secrets from her.

I walk out and she’s looking at the shirt with narrow eyes, probably wondering if she had seen it before. I could never get anything past her.

“Explain,” she says as she pours wine and gestures to the shirt.

I shrug. “Well, last week, I spilled Grayson’s coffee all over my shirt and he gave me this one. I told him that I would get it cleaned and bring it back, but he told me to keep it. It’s actually really comfortable to sleep in,” I say taking a seat on the bed beside her.

I grab the glass Holly hands me. “Wow, well it’s a nice shirt. Tell me more about them. It isn’t hard to see why you’re attracted to them,” she says with a knowing look. I can’t help but chuckle and nod my head in agreement.

“Well, I guess there are rumours of them being in a relationship, but it has never been confirmed, so I didn’t think anything of it until today. I admit I am attracted to them and feel comfortable around them in a way that I haven’t been before with anyone. I feel safe on that floor working with them. Ethan, Grayson, and Asher kissed me after you left, and I don’t know what to think about it,” I tell her honestly. It had been on my mind for the rest of the day.

It feels good that I’m able to tell her and she won’t judge me.

“Wow girl, wait… how come Levi didn’t kiss you? Does he not like you? Because I’ve seen the way his eyes were eating you up, and I’ve got to tell you that man is definitely into you,” she says taking a sip of her wine.

I shrug still feeling a bit hurt that Levi was acting a bit cold toward me. “I’m not sure. I see the looks sometimes but, most of the time, he gives me a blank look. The other guys say that he’s fighting his feelings because of something that happened and I wonder what it is, but I haven’t been able to ask them. Have they done this before?”

She nods her head. “Sounds like they might have, but you won’t know until you ask. There’s no harm in asking. It’s better to hear it from them anyways. Do you think you could see yourself with them?”

I blush at the question. The thoughts have been going through my head all day. I have been afraid to be naked with a guy for a long time, but four of them? I’m not so sure. What would they do if they saw the scar and if they freaked out like the guy in the past? I don’t know if my heart could take it. I rub the scar like I usually do when I think about it.

“I’m not sure. It’s hard to wrap my head around it. I’m self-conscious to show anyone again.” I drink a big sip of my wine at the thought.

“I think you should give it a shot. I mean, you could have your own harem! How awesome would that be? If anyone deserves the attention of four men, it’s you. Maybe you should see where it goes? Don’t think too hard about it. It will only drive you crazy. Just go with how you feel,” she says like it’s the easiest thing in the world.

See where it goes? I think I could do that. I don’t need to label it or anything right away.
