Desolation(35)
Author: R.L. Caulder

Why do they all have to be so damn hot and clustered in one bedroom together? Have some consideration for a girl’s sanity!

Since there’s no point prolonging the inevitable, and I’m past the stage where I can feign ignorance. I clear my throat and call out nervously, “It has come to my attention that you would all like the honor of romancing the Queen and, truly, this is not an opportunity to be taken lightly. If you are looking for a passing fling, well, then … off with your head!” I end with miming a decapitation with my finger and throwing my chin up in the air.

I may have edged into dramatics at the end there but I’m damn nervous. I know they know me well enough to read behind the lines and I hope they know I’m being serious about the fling.

That’s not an option. Not with them.

If we’re going down this road, I’m here until the end. I want them all and I want their all—physically and emotionally. If I’m ready to give them everything, I’ll be asking for the same.

Leo trails a finger over the back of my arm, leaving goosebumps in his wake. “I’m in it to win it.”

A soft kiss lands on my shoulder and I turn to Luke, staring at me through his long, blonde lashes. I want to swim in his eyes, as deep and blue as the ocean. “Anything for you.”

At this point, I’m ready to combust under the heat of their touch and attention.

Though he doesn’t touch me like the brothers, Zedd’s gentle presence draws my attention. “It’s always been you for me, Lana.”

Stick a dick in me and call it a day. My heart swells at his soft words, so raw and honest. Any day now, I’m expecting a confession that he didn’t date because of his feelings for me and when that happens, I don’t think I’ll be able to keep myself from jumping him.

That leaves Ash and Hale. I swing my gaze between the two, ping-ponging to see who’ll speak first. From their behavior and their kiss, I know they want this but I need to hear the words. I need something to remember if I’m ever feeling unsure.

Ash groans and bangs his head against the wall. “Yes, Lana, I want to date you. I thought it was obvious.”

I smile goofily at him, not even a little put-off by his exasperation. “Don’t sound too excited, dude.”

He rolls his eyes and I move on to my final victim, levelling him with the best puppy dog eyes he’ll ever live to see.

“Little One, you own me. That is not something I want to fight anymore.”

At his answer, I can’t help the delighted squeal that escapes me. Mine. They’re all mine. And I’m theirs. Something in me settles with that knowledge and I file it away as irrefutable fact.

“But,” he says, sobering me up with his serious tone. “There are a few things we need to discuss as a group so that we avoid crossing any lines or hurting anyone’s feelings.”

Ugh, what a drag.

I lean back against the pillows and the twins immediately snuggle against me like newborn kittens searching for a heat source. My sides are burning from the heat they radiate but fuck it. Running my fingers through their short hair, I listen as Hale lays down the law.

“Jealousy is going to be the number one issue for us, especially at the beginning. Clearly, there is only one Lana and five of us. We’re going to need to learn how to share.” He levels the twins with a look that has them burrowing deeper into my sides and I almost expect them to hiss at him. They both throw one arm over my stomach and I’m on cloud-fucking-nine. No one can bring me down from this.

“There’s also the topic of sex.”

Ooooh, yes. Turn up the heat!

“I think we all need to hold off on sex until we settle into this and find a way to equally share Lana. We don’t want to rush her.”

Hold up.

I try to sit up but the twins have arms as heavy as boulders. Giving in, I flop back down and try to sound authoritative from under the snuggle pile. “Um, excuse me? I’m right fucking here. I don’t need you or anyone else making that decision for me. If I want to suck and fuck someone’s cock tonight, I’m going to do that. If I want to give you guys blue balls for the next three months, I’m going to do that. I will be going at my own pace with each individual person.”

Hale wears a look of shock and holds his hands up in surrender. “Woah, I was just trying to make sure you don’t feel pressured by anyone.”

I know he’s trying to look out for me but he doesn’t get to decide how to do that. No one else is making these decisions for me. I don’t want anyone tip-toeing around me because of some proclamation he’s made.

“I know that, Hale. However, as you said, there’s only one of me—and the vagina rules.” I smirk at him, daring him to challenge me on this.

A deep, throaty laugh sounds from Ash. “Holy shit, hearing her say suck and fuck a cock might actually give me blue balls for three months.”

Laughter rings in the room at his comment, lightening the mood tremendously.

I notice Zedd squirming a little, not meeting my eyes and not laughing along as enthusiastically. “Zedd, baby? Are you sure you’re okay with all of this?”

Zedd, baby … I like the sound of that.

As the term of endearment rolls off my tongue, his face instantly flushes red as a tomato. He’s sweet and innocent and so easily flustered. Since I wasn’t high on the ‘experienced’ list, having this effect on him was always a boost to my confidence.

He rubs the back of his neck, nervous. “Yeah, I’m fine.” After a beat of silence, he says, “I’m just going to be honest—I’m a virgin. So, we can go at whatever pace you want. I won’t rush you.”

Deep down, I expected that from my sweet man. To avoid making him feel embarrassed, I quickly blurt out, “Well at least someone saved themselves for me! The rest of you are heathens.”

Hale chokes slightly before patting his chest. “Actually … I’m also a virgin.”

Mic fucking drop.

I gape at him as the rest of the guys snort or cough at the revelation. Clearly, none of us saw this coming. He’s been on plenty of dates and, with his good looks and charming nature, I’d always assumed he’d have easily scored.

Feeling slightly taken-aback, I amend my previous statement. “Fine. Only Ash, Luke, and Leo are heathens.”

Two noses nudge into my side, sliding my shirt up with the action, exposing my tanned midriff. Small, wet kisses land on my stomach and my vision dots from the rush of arousal.

Leo whispers against my skin. “You’re right. We’re definitely heathens. That just means we’ll make you cry our names out as you cum on our tongues, fingers and cocks.”

A lightning bolt of pleasure shoots straight to my vagina as I imagine the vivid scenes their dirty words evoke.

“Alright, well, I’m going to go cook us all dinner.”

Zedd’s voice breaks through the cloud of lust.

“Wait! Do we still need to discuss anything else? I want everyone to feel comfortable.”

He’s already gone, heading downstairs to escape.

Did I offend him or hurt his feelings? Wow, you already fucked this up, Lana. Great job.

I throw the twins’ arms off me. “Listen! Just because you guys are comfortable with displays of affection doesn’t mean we need to rub it in his face. I shouldn’t have let you do that in front of everyone this soon.”
