Oh my god.
I’ve always hated that name, but now, on his lips, it makes me feel cherished, sexy.
This is so wild. Anyone could walk into the maze. Walk by and hear us. The thought of getting caught causes my pulse to pound harder. But it gives me pause, too, as I try to catch my breath.
When my rhythm falters, Gabe is right there to encourage me. Driving me down onto his lap, against his cock. The layers of clothing provide delicious friction, but I secretly wish we were skin-to-skin. He pinches my nipple again, holding the tension, and I climb. Soar. Spiral up the mountain.
Long, eager slides up and down until I’m aching, ready to explode. Building more and more pressure, trying to time everything just right.
Can’t lose the rhythm again. Don’t dare alter the angle.
So close. So. Close.
It’s like he knows. Somehow senses exactly what I need and tightens his thumb and finger a little more on my nipple. One breathless second. Then he lets go. Pleasure rockets through me.
My thighs clamp around his hips, burning as I hold my position, terrified to move lest I end my bliss. He swallows my moan and makes a delicious sound of his own.
Snatching my mouth away, I gulp for air. His hand is still on my breast, cupping me, while his other hand rocks me against his length in slow, fluid motions.
I come down off my high, melting against him, secure in his arms. Holy cow. That was incredible. Totally unexpected. Everything I ever dreamed of.
“I told you we communicate just fine,” he murmurs, his breath tickling my ear.
I huff a laugh and press a kiss against his neck before sitting up. His eyes are dark, blown with desire, and I’m eager to give him the same heart-jolting, mind-blowing orgasm.
“Your turn.”
“His turn will have to wait,” a deep voice cuts through the night, and I gasp, spotting Alex at the opening of the secret room, staring down at us with an unreadable expression on his face. “Dinner’s ready.”

“New plan,” I murmur, sinking deeper into the Adirondack chair and rolling my head toward Alex. “We don’t ever go back to the city.”
His lips twitch in a way that makes me want to curl up in his lap and kiss him, but unfortunately, we have an audience. And after what happened with Gabe in the maze. . . I’m not sure where I stand with either of them.
My belly is full from dinner, and now we’re gathered around the fire pit with blankets and bevvies. Beer for the guys. Chardonnay for me.
It’s a gorgeous night. The rain left the landscape clean and spring fresh. Lights from surrounding homes reflect off the lake. I’m going to smell like wood smoke later, but it’s worth it to make these memories.
Alex has positioned himself to my left, his big body dwarfing the wooden chair, and Gabe’s on my right, staring into the fire like it’ll answer the questions of the universe. On the other side of the fire pit, Ford and Sutton devour toasted marshmallows with the urgency of five-year-olds who won’t have a stomachache later.
“Don’t let you-know-who hear you talking like that,” Ford says, carefully arranging a hunk of chocolate atop a graham cracker.
“You know who?” Alex asks.
He’s been on alert since this afternoon when the news broke that Alex, Gabe, and I all live in the same building. Without me asking, he’s declared himself my protector. Maybe not in so many words, but he’s been my shadow as he worked with building security to make sure we’ll be safe when we return.
I used to bristle at the team that followed me around, reporting my movements to my mother. Telling me when and where I could go. Those old feelings crawl up my throat and threaten to strangle me.
But when Alex meets my gaze, the death grip falls away. I don’t feel stiffed with him. Or his men.
How odd.
“Our mother,” I say. “Ford doesn’t care for her.”
Alex narrows his gaze on my brother.
