“Wow,” Emily said.
I leaned over her, kissing her neck and running my hands over her back. “I need to take you for a shower.”
“A shower sounds good. I had no idea it could feel like that.”
“It gets better. Wait until you’re used to taking cock, you’re going to crave it.”
I kissed her, pulled out of her ass, and I had time to see some of my cum spilling from her cheeks before I picked her up in my arms and carried her through to the bathroom.
“Thank you for the distraction, Vadik, but I still don’t have a clue what to wear.”

The moment Earl Valentine walked into our home, I wanted to kill him. The only thing holding me back was seeing Emily and Ashley rush at each other and hug. I got that level of friendship, I did.
Caleb, River, Vadik, and I, we weren’t huggers, but we were closer, always had been and always would be. I loved my brothers and I’d do anything for them. Earl had his own men at his back. He was a tall and well-built fucker. When I first heard about this bastard all those years ago, I’d expected some old dude with bald hair and a large beer gut. Not a clue why, but Earl, if we’d given him a chance, could have well and truly won our girl over, no doubt about it. As it was, he wasn’t going to win anything, not from us, and certainly not our woman.
“I’ve missed you so much,” Emily said, drawing my gaze.
“Missed you too.” Ashley cupped her cheeks. “It doesn’t look like you’re happy.” She shot a glare at us. “What did you do to her?”
“None of your business,” Caleb said.
Emily waved her hand at us. “Don’t mind them. I’ll tell you all about it. Come on.”
“What about dinner?” Earl asked.
I noticed Ashley tense up the instant asshole spoke. I couldn’t see any visible bruises, and as Ashley glanced behind her, Earl was only interested in her.
“We’ve got business to attend to. If it would make you feel better, I’ll have one of your men, as well as one of mine, escort them to a safe place where they can’t run away together,” Caleb said.
“I don’t find this amusing.”
“Well, seeing as we played our part in the deal and you didn’t, I’d say you’ve got a lot to be worried about. As it is, so long as our women wish us to play nice, nothing bad is going to happen. Ashley, do you want me to end this fucker now?”
In answer, Ashley looked behind her at him. She nibbled on her lip and finally, after a few minutes, she shook her head. “No, it’s fine.”
“I’ll call our man,” Caleb said, pulling his cell phone out.
“I’m already here,” Drake said.
“Holy crap, Drake! As in crazy Drake?” Ashley asked.
Drake whistled and winked at her. “You sure look fine, sweetheart.”
Emily rolled her eyes. “He doesn’t even remember you.”
“Sure do. New girl. You actually got this chick here all fired up in protecting you. I thought that was damn fine!” Drake whistled. “Where do you want them to catch up?”
“The library,” Caleb said.
“Not a chance.” This came from Earl.
We all turned toward him. I hadn’t taken my attention from him, but now I looked at him.
“You think I don’t know there’s an exit in the library? Not happening. You’re not stealing her away.” Earl tensed up and I put my hand to my gun hidden beneath my jacket. I wanted any excuse for us to make this right with our woman, and if that meant popping him, then I was in a good enough mood to do it.
I watched him in case he decided to make any sudden moves.
“Our intention is not to steal her away.”
“Good. She can go to your office then, Caleb. You’re the one in control. We’ll be the ones to go to the library.” He moved toward Ashley, leaned down, and whispered something to her ear.
She pressed her lips into a firm line but stepped away from him.
That clearly displeased Earl.
It would all be easier if I just took him out. One glance at Caleb and he shook his head at me.
Fucker. It would do the entire world good to end this asshole.
But then, it would probably do more people good to end us. I kept my hand on my gun, but I didn’t kill him. I considered this all progress.
Drake led the two women toward the office, while Caleb took the lead in walking us all the way to the library. I couldn’t believe Ace was dead. Out of all the men, he’d caused us the least trouble during our takeover plan. He’d wanted death, and we’d kept him alive.
“You betrayed us and now you think you can come into our domain and bark orders?” Caleb asked.
