“We’ve been talking,” Adam said. “Sam and I. Charlie and Liam, too. We’d like to give us a shot.”
“You mean…”
Sam nibbled on her bottom lip, gently stroking her marked neck. “I’ve never done anything like this before,” she said softly, “I’d love to give it a try. I’m… very attracted to all of you. And from what Adam’s told me, you all seem to want me too?”
She didn’t sound insecure, per se. It was more like she was seeking confirmation, like she wanted to make sure she heard a rumor correctly before diving off the deep end.
There was nothing but truth behind her question. I’d seen my friends around her. In the weeks leading up to our departure to Macau, their sideways glances were always heavy with restrained want. Even I found myself thinking about her. Constantly, at almost every minute of every day. And yet…
Would you like to meet my son?
Despite the nagging voice in the back of my head, I wanted her too. Our kiss in the kitchen had ignited something deep within me. It was a craving, one that nothing other than having her could satisfy.
“You’d be alright with it?” I asked cautiously. “Being shared by the four of us?”
Sam nodded. “If you’ll have me. Ifallof you will have me.”
Charlie smiled. “I think I speak for all of us when I say we’re more than on board. Right, Kris?”
I paused. Breathed. I shoved the nagging feeling away and nodded. “Right.”
Sam’s smile was the most beautiful thing I’d ever been blessed enough to see. “Great. Although I have one request.”
“What is it, angel?” Adam asked.
“Be patient with me,” she quietly said.
I didn’t miss the warmth in Liam’s eyes. It was his version of smiling like an idiot.
“Likewise, Sam,” Charlie replied.
“Okay,” she muttered softly, smiling up at all of us. “Well, um… I think I might go to bed. It’s getting really late, and the duchess has an early meeting tomorrow.”
I nodded. “Right. Good thinking.”
“So, what exactly are our sleeping arrangements now?”
“You’re free to come to ours whenever you see fit,” Charlie said, “or us in yours if that’s what you’d prefer. But I think tonight you should have your own space. We don’t want to overwhelm you.”
She rose from her seat and glided across the tiles smiling, appreciatively. She made her way over to Adam first. “Do you think I could ask for a goodnight kiss?”
Adam chuckled. “You don’t need to ask, Sam. C’mere.”
He planted a sweet kiss on her lips, lingering ever so slightly. She moved onto Charlie next, blushing as she kissed him chastely on the corner of his mouth. When she got to Liam, she hopped up on her toes and braced herself against his chest. She was still too short to reach his lips, so Liam was the one to bend down and plant a small peck on her forehead. When she got to me, her cheeks and the tips of her ears were bright pink.
“Goodnight,” she whispered to me before kissing me on the cheek.
I wanted way more than a schoolyard sort of kiss, but Charlie was right. I didn’t want to overwhelm her. She was already giving us so much by agreeing to be with us, to give the four of us a try. I was more than happy to take things slow for her sake.
It was better to savor a good thing than waste the opportunity.
“Goodnight, Sam,” I said.
“See you in the morning, boys.”
She practically skipped off down the hall, so damn cute it nearly took my breath away.
“Lucky son of a bitch,” Liam said, clapping Adam across the shoulder. “I knew I shouldn’t have volunteered for security detail tonight.”
