“We’ll come back tonight, after dark,” I told Rush.

He coughed then shot the boy a meaningful glance. It took me a minute to realize what he was getting at. Sighing, I pulled my wallet from my pocket. Zinnia smiled at me until she saw the amount I slipped out of my wallet. She gave me a disappointed frown. Glaring at her, I added more money and handed it over to the boy.

The kid snatched it out of my hand and held it to his chest as he scurried away. Hopefully that would help feed his family because I’d just paid dearly for the information. “It’d better be good intel,” I growled at them.

They both smiled happily at me. We made our way back to our temporary residence. I sat at the table, ignoring Alden and Torque’s curious looks.

“We’re going hunting tonight,” Rush informed them as he went up the stairs to seek out a bedroom.

Alden arched a brow at me. I let Zinnia fill him in. Torque was already making us something to eat. “You’ll want to get some sleep now,” I told them. “Once we hit that house, we’re not sticking around. After we’re done eating, we’ll set up shifts to watch the house, make sure no one leaves.”

We had to keep moving to ensure that if there were any more of Roj’s men around they wouldn’t find us. I watched as Rush pulled Zinnia into his room after lunch and arched my brow at him. He just shrugged and grinned at me.

The only thing that bothered me about their arrangement was that I wasn’t a part of it. Only, I didn’t know how to be. I had no issue sharing her with my men. It was just me being fucking stubborn. I didn’t want to be last on her list. I wasn’t going to beg. I still wanted her to come to me.

I’d never been great at relationships. It was my nature to be sullen and quiet and most women weren’t fans of that. Maybe this arrangement would be exactly what I needed. I could spend time with her, fuck her, and she could get the laughter and cuddles she needed from the other three—or at least from Rush and Torque—since Alden was more like me in terms of personality. I could protect her and lead, something that was entirely in my comfort zone.

Laughter floated through the walls and then a moan sounded. I gritted my teeth. It was going to be hell listening to them all fucking her and not being able to join in.

If you weren’t such a stubborn dickhead you could, too.Burying the thought, I rolled onto my back and glared at the ceiling. The walls didn’t provide much sound proofing, so I could hear each groan and mutter from the two next door. Alden and Torque were first up for covering Roj’s safehouse, so it was just the three of us in here.

My dick hardened and throbbed as I laid there. There was no way I was going to be able to sleep. I stood up and shoved open the door to my room, planning to go downstairs for a glass of water. The sounds filling the hallway made me freeze.

That asshole had left his bedroom door open. I walked over to it as if I was in a trance and dragged in a choked breath.

Rush was flat on his back on the bed and Zinnia was riding him. She rose up over him like a fucking goddess, her blonde hair trailing down her back.

My eyes raked down her body and my already swollen dick hardened further. Her tits looked like the perfect handful, something Rush proved by palming them as she arched her back.

I knew I shouldn’t be standing here watching them, but fuck if I could find the willpower to leave. The sounds Zinnia was making had pre-cum dripping in my briefs. As disrespectful as it was, I found my hand delving down into the sweats I was wearing and wrapping around my cock. It ached too badly not to.

Zinnia’s hands went to Rush’s chest to steady herself while she bounced on his cock, head thrown back, a look of ecstasy covering her beautiful face.

My hand stroked to the timing of her thrusts and soon my fucking knees were shaking. God damn it, I wanted to be the one she was fucking. Who was I kidding? She wouldn’t be taking control; I’d have her bent up like a pretzel as I fucked the hell out of her. I had a feeling that sexy body could contort into all kinds of interesting positions. The mental image of her heels up next to her ears made me groan.

Her head snapped over and our eyes met. There was shock in those lovely green depths, but also heat. She liked that I was watching her. She locked her eyes onto mine and thrust her hips harder into Rush. She was telling me, without words, ‘this could be you. I would fuck you like this.’ Her tempo picked up more aggressively, slamming the bed loudly against the wall. When her gaze dropped down to where my hand was stroking over my dick, it snapped me out of my trance and I let go while shoving away from the door.

It was agony not to finish. Worse still that I hadn’t walked in there and shoved her flat against Rush so I could join in from behind. My chest was sore from the huge gulping breaths I hadn’t realized I’d been taking. She had me more turned on than I could remember ever being. And for some reason, that pissed me off.

The anger turned inward. I wanted her, but for some reason couldn’t seem to get out of my own way. No. That wasn’t true. I was pissed that Alden had gotten to her first. Fuck. They all had. I wasn’t about to be her last choice. Fuck that.

The glass of water I was drinking may as well have been ash in my mouth. I leaned against the counter and tried to picture anything that would make my hard-on go down. I don’t know how long it took, but I’d finally gotten my body under control when a sound alerted me to the fact that I was no longer alone.

Zinnia stepped off the stairs. She was wearing a shirt that didn’t completely cover her belly and a pair of shorts that showed off most of her gorgeous legs.

Fuck me.

She walked toward me, my own personal fucking siren, her hips swaying. I couldn’t read the look in her eyes, but I knew I was in deep shit. Unfortunately, I’d always been the kind of man to fight hardest when I was cornered and damned if she wasn’t making me feel things I had no desire to.

My eyes narrowed on her and she lost a bit of the sultry look on her face. “Need something?”

Her brows pinched together in confusion. She was probably trying to figure out why I’d been standing there watching them fuck. Or maybe why I was back to being a dick again. Kind of wish I knew that second one myself.

“I just wanted to check on you,” she said. “I-”

“I’m fine. Nothing I haven’t seen before.” I tipped the glass back, finishing off the remaining water.

She pressed her lips together, trying to gather her thoughts. Sucking in a breath, she moved closer to me. I swear sparks showered my skin where her fingers rested on my forearm. I looked down at it, amazed and irritated at my body’s reaction to her.
