She stepped into my space and rubbed her hands up my shoulders. Her mouth turned down as she dug her fingers into my tense muscles. “You’re all tight. Let’s get in the hot tub and loosen you up.”
I settled my hands on her hips. “You really want to get in the hot tub, huh?”
She kissed my chin. “Yep.”
I looked over at her bag. “Do you have a swimsuit in there?”
She shook her head. “Nope.”
Fisher pumped the air behind her. “Let’s hot tub.”

***Ella***
Iwatched the guys strip down to their boxer briefs and climb into the hot tub while I shivered from the cold. The hot tub seemed like a good idea when I wasn’t standing on the back porch with an icy breeze chilling me to the bone. The only thing that motivated me to pull my clothes off was the vision of the guys and their bare chests.
Stripping down to just my panties, I quickly climbed into the tub and sank down to my neck. The water melted me and I groaned out loud. “Oh, my god. That’s heaven.”
Fisher was closest to me and he took advantage of it by pulling me into his lap. He wrapped his arms around my stomach and nuzzled his mouth against my neck. “That’s a sight I’ll play over and over again in my head for the rest of my life. Your body is beautiful, Ella Rae.”
I shivered and tried to sink lower into the water. “My body is freezing cold. Am I an idiot?”
He grunted. “Well. You’re here with us, so…maybe?”
I laughed and then locked eyes with Vaughn. “For that, Fisher, I’m leaving you.”
Vaughn let me pull him away from the corner seat he was on and laughed when I took his spot but pulled him back so he was almost sitting in my lap. “This is weird.”
I dug my fingers into his shoulders, doing what I could to loosen him up. He immediately sank farther into me and groaned. Rubbing him until my hands were too cold to keep out of the water, I listened to the sound of his moaning and felt my body responding. “Thanks for driving us.”
He leaned into my chest and gripped the outside of my thighs. “I’m glad you came with us. And that you forgave us.”
“I’m glad you guys showed up for me. The last month has been hard. I missed you so much.” I pressed my cheek to Vaughn’s shoulder. “I don’t know how you three did it, but you made me care about you. So, please never do anything stupid again.”
Booth reached out and ran his thumb over my bottom lip. “Did you mean what you said?”
I knew exactly what he meant. He wanted to know if I loved them. I swallowed my nerves and nodded. “I do love you. Each of you. I didn’t mean to fall for you guys but you’re each so funny and sweet in your own way. You make me feel more like myself than I’ve ever felt before.”
Vaughn stood up and climbed out of the tub. I thought I’d said something wrong but he reached over the side and scooped me up. “Time to figure out the logistics, Ella Rae.”
I shivered as he carried me inside and to the giant shower. While the water warmed up, he put me down on the bathroom counter and the three of them stood in front of me, looking not unlike a pack of hungry wolves.
“I love you. I don’t have the pretty words to explain to you how much right now but I will someday.” Vaughn smiled. “Until then I’ll just have to show you.”
“I love you, too, Ella.” Fisher cupped my face and searched my eyes. “I’m crazy about you. The amount of shit I would do for you to prove it is scary.”
I bit my lip and looked up at him through my lashes. “You don’t need to prove anything. I believe you. The three of you are willing to all be with me selflessly. It would be so easy for you guys to demand that I choose one of you. It would be the expected thing but you guys never made me feel like I had to choose one of you.”
Booth tested the water and edged the other guys out of the way so he could pick me up. He carried me under the stream of hot water and kept me plastered to his chest. “I will never let anything bad happen to you again. I love you and I only ever want to make you happy.”
“I feel so lucky to have you guys.”
Fisher gently took my hair out of its ponytail and tipped my head back so he could wet it. “We have a lot of making up to do.”
I held onto Booth’s neck as Fisher massaged shampoo into my hair, rubbing my scalp as he did. “As much as it pains me to say this when you’re washing my hair for me, you don’t have to make up anything. I forgive you. That’s the end of it.”
Vaughn watched us from the back of the shower. “You should let us make it up to you, Ella Rae. Tonight.”
