Page 51 of Crave: A Reverse Harem Romance

I continued. “You guys have no idea what you’ve done for me. Just being with you has changed me. I’m a different person than I was last month, even Liza can attest to that. Before you guys, I was just sitting at home, alone, writing my books and living vicariously through the characters that I made up. But because of you, I’m actually living. Because of you, I’ve got this life. And it’s fun and adventurous and sexy, and it brings me so much joy. I look at you, and I know that I’m falling for each and every one of you. So maybe it’s weird, but you guys all mean so much to me. You just can’t ask me to choose between you, because I can’t do it. It’s not fair. I need… I just need all of you.”

Ryker’s expression seemed to soften as I spoke. “You really think we can do this? Just all be in one big, happy relationship?”

“Why not?” I asked. “You care about me, right? You guys all care about me?” They all nodded. “So why can’t we be happy? Why can’t we put aside jealousy and resentment and anything that could possibly be holding us back and just… jump head first into this thing? That’s what I want, desperately. If there’s even the smallest chance that this could make us happy, all of us, shouldn’t we do it?”

“Okay, sure.” Ryker shrugged. “Why not?”

“Really?” I squealed. “You mean that?”

“You’re right,” he said. “I care about you. I think we all do. And on the drive over here, all I could think about was how happy I would be if you wanted to be with me. And you’re saying you do. So what if you also want to be with Diesel and Axel? As long as I get to have some of you, too… then why not?”

I couldn’t control myself. I ran to him and threw my arms around his neck.

He wrapped his arms back around me tightly, pulling me close to him. I could smell the cologne on his neck, so I lingered there. The comfort of him felt so good.

“Ahem,” Axel coughed, clearing his throat. I looked over at him and Diesel, who were staring there awkwardly.

“Well, why don’t you guys get in on this?” I asked them. “You know, you’re going to have to get used to sharing me.”

They shrugged at each other and then moved in to me, joining in on a group hug.

I knew that it was weird. I knew that it was different. And yet, it felt right. It felt like I was with the men I was supposed to be with.

It may not have been the happily ever after I used to picture for myself. But then again, my life was now nothing like I used to picture, and I was the happiest I’ve ever been. Maybe it was time to throw out the generalizations of what my life should be like and how I should act. Maybe I needed to just… be happy.

They made me happy.

They all squeezed me tight, and I squeezed back. We were huddled there for a moment, but it didn’t take long until I felt something familiar on the back of my neck.

It was a kiss. Someone’s lips were on me, but I couldn’t tell if they were Diesel’s or Axel’s. All I knew was that someone was kissing me… and pretty sensually.

I realized I was going to get the thing that I had been fantasizing about for so very long. Something that I thought was only going to happen in my dreams…

I was going to get to sleep with all of them, all at once.

As right as the hug had felt… somehow, this felt more right.

I wanted and needed them all.

I turned around on whoever was kissing my neck. It was Diesel, and when I did, his lips met mine and we began to kiss passionately.

For a moment, I was worried about Axel and Ryker. As much as I wanted all of them, it was going to be tricky to navigate this to where they all felt like they had my attention.

Thankfully, though, they seemed to take matters into their own hands. As Diesel kissed me, I felt Ryker begin to unbutton my blouse. He had to reach behind me to do it, and he ran his hands slowly over my breasts as he did.

I was so damn turned on already. I was kissing one man while the other was running his hands over my body? God, it felt so good.

So, naturally, when I felt Axel begin to unbutton my pants, I was overwhelmed with how sexy it all was.

I pulled my mouth away from Diesel’s. “Let’s… move this to the bedroom,” I said.

They all agreed, and as I began to walk down the hall to Axel’s bedroom, I also started walking out of my clothes. Though I wasn’t looking behind me, apparently the boys had been following my lead because when I reached the bed and turned around, they were all naked in front of me.

Naked and perfect.

Each one of them had a stunning body that I simply could not get over. They were the three most handsome men I had ever met in my life.
