“Turning the lights off now. Keep it in your pants, Ian.” Jayden dropped back down on the couch next to me a few seconds later, after clicking us all into darkness.
The movie started, the TV lights casting shadows across the room. I took turns peeking at each of the men around me, amazed that they were there. I sat perfectly still between them, not touching anyone. There seemed to be a delicate balance between us, and I was terrified of upsetting it by doing the wrong thing, even accidentally touching one of them.
That all changed when the first jump scare in the movie happened. I jumped nearly a foot off the couch and screamed, coming down just to dig my nails into Jayden’s arm and cling to him. He tucked his arm around me and grunted at my knee digging into his side. I couldn’t regain my concern for him with the killer on TV hunting his prey.
When the masked man jumped out and grabbed another co-ed, I screamed again and smacked my hands over my eyes. Jayden grunted and then muttered a word of thanks after Adam pulled my legs away from his main organs.
14.
***Violet***
Adamheldmylegson his lap, holding them firmly to keep me from flailing each time something scary happened. Jayden had shifted so my back was pressed firmly to his chest, with his arms wrapped around my upper half. I was surrounded by them, and I decided it was the only way to watch a horror movie. I was still petrified each time something happened, but it wasn’t as terrible.
“You okay?” Jayden whispered against my ear, sending chills down my body.
I sank farther into his chest and nodded. “Yeah, I love scary movies.”
Adam snorted. “You’ve always had a funny way of showing it.”
I lightly dug my foot into his thigh and then froze when his hand wrapped around my ankle, and I saw his eyes flutter closed. I held my breath and did it again, more softly and slowly. The responding grunt from him sent fire washing over me. Sitting perfectly still, I stared at the TV and told myself to knock it off.
What happened next was the start of a different stage of my life. I knew it, and I was helpless to do anything but let it happen. I didn’t want to do anything to stop it.
Jayden’s hand moved higher on my side, and the tips of his fingers brushed the bottom curve of my breasts. At the same time, Adam’s fingers tightened around my ankle, and I felt him shift under my foot. The two of them touching me at the same time was too much for my brain to handle while remaining fully functional. I let out a breathy sounding whimper and went absolutely still when it was obvious that everyone had heard it.
The killer on screen was chasing down a woman, but I wasn’t watching. I held my breath and stared in the direction of the TV, hoping I’d been wrong and that no one had heard me.
Jayden flattened his hand over my stomach and growled against my ear. “Breathe, Angel.”
I sucked in a loud gulp of air and shakily blew it out. My body felt like a cord pulled too tight, every muscle on alert for the slightest touch. Worse, my panties had grown uncomfortable with dampness. I was turned on, sitting in a room with three of my exes. Something had to be wrong with me.
Adam’s fingers traced the hem of my leggings, lightly stroking my ankles. He took my other foot in his hand and began rubbing it, massaging deep. Jayden stroked his hand higher, fingertips touching my breasts, and then lower, those same fingertips touching the tops of my legs. It was crazymaking.
The music grew louder at the movie grew towards its climax. Panting from the hero filled the room, heard just over the deep beat of the song. Adam worked his hands up to my calves. Jayden’s fingertips brushed across my nipples. It was too much. I cried out as an orgasm took me by surprise. It was small, but it was shocking. I’d never come without being touched more purposefully. I’d also never come in front of three men.
Any hope I had that they hadn’t heard was dashed by the responding swears and groans from three different voices. With my heart slamming against my ribcage, I jumped up from the couch and rushed into the kitchen. Burying my face in my hands, I stood in the corner with my back to the rest of the room. I was mortified. I wanted to crawl into one of my cabinets and hide. It was too bad my cabinets were tiny, and my hips weren’t.
“Violet.” Ian came closer when I didn’t answer him. “Are you ignoring me now?”
I shook my head and groaned. “No.”
He put his hands on the counter on either side of me, but he was careful not to touch me. “Talk to me.”
“I can’t. I’m too embarrassed.”
“Why?”
I braced my hands next to his and dropped my head. “You know why.”
He shifted closer and his thumbs moved just enough to brush against my pinkies. His breath washed over the back of my neck as he spoke with a lowered voice. “You orgasmed in front of us. You whimpered and moaned as you got off.”
“Shut up.” I shook my head and then pressed back into him. His hard body was hot against mine, and the steel length behind his pants pressed directly into my ass. I squeezed my eyes shut and threaded my fingers over the tops of his, unsure what I was doing. I was scared, but not of him, or even all of them there together. I was scared ofmyself, of whatIwanted. “Ian…”
He brushed his mouth over the shell of my ear. “You’re at another crossroads, baby.”
I knew what he meant. I had to pick. I couldn’t, though. I just couldn’t.
“Pick one of us, Angel.” Jayden spoke from the entranceway into the kitchen. “Or…”
