She squeezes me tighter. “And you’re mine. Forever.”

“And ever!” I add.

“You girls are being dramatic,” Nic can’t help but call us out.

I can feel the amusement of all my guys as they come in the room. They gave us the illusion of privacy but I’m sure they heard every word.

I roll my eyes and ignore him, that doesn’t even deserve a response.

Jay has Anna’s bag in his hand which he sets by the door before coming over and hugging Anna. They all pile on, making her promise to call them if she needs something. I know they’re protective of her and it’s sweet.

After she’s done with them, Anna comes over one last time and gives me another hug before heading out the door to her new place. There wasn’t really anything to move since she only had a bag and her coffee machine here, so we made sure the place was fully furnished. Still, it’s weird to see my stylish best friend leaving with only one bag of clothes. I’m sure she’ll have it all replaced soon.

Bailey is whining at the door after Anna.

“It’s okay pup, she’ll come back to visit you soon,” I say, giving him a pat on the head.

Kiran comes over and snuggles me, wrapping himself around me from behind. “She’s just moving down the street.”

“I know, but it feels like she’s separating herself from me. And I’m not completely convinced she’s okay after everything. I want to be there for her,” I say.

Nic steps in front of me and brushes hair back from my face. “I know, and she’s probably not fine but if this is what she needs to get better then we have to respect that. We will still check in on her all the time, I promise.”

I nod, and he leans in to give me a sweet kiss. I’m completely surrounded by my guys and everyone is safe, I need to enjoy how far we’ve come and embrace the future we have ahead of us.

“Now, let’s talk about something fun. What should we do this summer before we have to go back to school?” Jay asks with a big goofy smile on his face.

All eyes turn to me and I can’t contain my smile. I have five devoted mates who want to make me happy. We all came out of this alive and together, I’m incredibly lucky.

“We should travel. Think of all the cool places we can go with my power,” I say, watching them all for a reaction.

“I love it!” Jax is the first to say. I’m sure he’s planning out logistics in his head as we speak.

“Can we go somewhere tropical, like the Bahamas? I want to see Aly in a bikini,” Kiran says, squeezing me tighter against him.

I’m surrounded by enthusiastic nodding as eyes caress my body. I’m sure they’re all imagining it and I don’t mind one bit.

“Of course, and Paris. I want to go somewhere romantic!” I add.

My guys press in tighter around me.

“Anywhere we are all together will be romantic,” Jeremy whispers and my panties melt.

Damn is that boy smooth.

Jeremy leans in to kiss me, devouring my mouth and proving his words right.

“We have the place to ourselves,” Kiran whispers, brushing his lips against my ear before nibbling on my neck.

“We should take advantage,” Nic confirms.

He brings a hand down to my thigh, slowly sliding it up under my skirt and brushing his fingers against my panties.

Someone else’s hands brush my shirt over my chest before grabbing handfuls of my breasts.

Suddenly, I’m pushed down onto the couch, all my guys surrounding me.

Hands are plucking at my nipples, gripping my thighs and running circles around my clit. It’s maddening and not enough. I reach out and grab the first bulge I find, wishing there weren’t clothes between us.
