I spot a familiar look of irritation and hurt on Aziel’s face. If she’s not careful she’ll find herself on her knees, ass in the air, and him spanking her again.
“I’m sorry,” she says softly, dropping her eyes to his chest. Interesting. What is our little mix hiding? I’ve never seen Belle unable to hold our gazes. But tonight, she can’t seem to look the three of us in the eye.
I debate pushing her for answers, but time will do it for me. She’s not one to stay quiet for long, I’ve learned.
“I, um, have something to show you.” She takes my hand, then Aziel’s. “Coming?” she asks Gage, who follows behind us.
She leads us off the dock and closer to the back porch where a large blanket is set out in the short grass. There are small lanterns I didn’t know we had dotting the perimeter of her makeshift bed with a few candles spread out.
I stop her with a pull and gather her in my arms. “Did you do this for us?”
That corner of her lips tilts up and she looks every bit as shy as she did the first day she walked into our lives. “I wanted you to come home to something pretty. I know you don’t have a lot of that in your lives with everything you handle with your jobs.”
I can’t live with the love I hear in her voice and not kiss her.
A crackle of energy pops and hisses between us. It’s as tangible as the heat of her skin and the feel of her lips on mine.
“Share, brother. I need to soothe my beast, too.”
Aziel gently takes our Belle and cradles the back of her head in the palm of his hand. He lays her down and spreads out beside her on the large blanket.
“I missed you,” she whispers to me as I take up the length of her other side. I want to breathe her life force in and hold it inside my chest. Carrying her with me everywhere I go would be a priceless gift. I turn her chin to face me. “Stay with us tonight.”
“I want to, but Gage doesn’t look happy.”
She holds a hand out and he takes it, pulls her off the blanket, and into his arms.
“Are you mad at me for something?”
“You scared me.” Gage drives his fingers into her hair and tilts her face to his. Holding her against his chest, our brother falls to his knees and joins Aziel and me on the blanket. He spreads our beautiful Belle out between us.
He takes either of her calves and places one in my care and the other in Aziel’s. “If something were to happen to you, the world might as well stop spinning.”
“You scared us all.”
Her lower lip trembles.
I take her hands and wrap one around Gage’s length and instantly see him relax into her powerful touch.
Wide eyes flick to me and I move my lips to her ear, my words for only her. “Ease his pain, baby girl. Stroke him just like that. Make him feel how real you are. How safe you are between the three of us.”
Teeth sink into the plumpness of her lower lips and I ease the tortured flesh free, kissing her until she’s breathing in my essence and only mine. To her side, Aziel whispers his own words that have her panting one second and moaning the next.
Kneeling above us, Gage is in his own world with her. “Fuck, that’s all I need. Your heat, Belle. The feel of your skin on mine.”
My brother’s head falls back and I see the shine of heaven in his eyes when his gaze falls back on Belle’s.
“You have no idea how perfect you are.” Aziel grips her hold on him and pumps his hips into their joined hands. Watching her pleasure my brother makes my cock impossibly harder.
We might be physically stronger than the woman we love, but I’m witness to the power she has over the three of us. And my brothers. They’ve fallen for her even if they have a hard time admitting it.
“You care that much about me?”
“You have no idea,” I answer.
Consciously or not her other hand seeks Gage’s and he gives her what she wants. I smile and take her mouth in a slow kiss before pressing my forehead to hers. Sweet, irresistible, hot. “Ours,” I growl and mean it with all of my soul.
Reading my silent cues, Gage sheathes his length, driving in and taking what belongs to us with one fluid motion.
