Surrounded by cinnamon and orange, my body grew taut until finally, the tingling sensation became too much. I shattered, shaking as I clutched to King’s shoulders. His flannel softened the sound of my whimpering cries as he slowed his pace. After a few moments of letting me come down, I pulled my face from his shoulder and flopped back against the bedding so I could look at him. Warm, half-lidded coffee-colored eyes watched me, a tiny grin curling his lips.
“Wow,” I breathed, panting in King’s embrace, happy that I was lying out on the bed. Honestly, I was feeling too weak-kneed to stand. “That was amazing.”
“I’m glad I did all right,” he said, kissing my cheek as his hand withdrew from my panties and unbuttoned jeans. What he did next surprised me, instead of wiping his slick fingers on his jeans or on a towel, he popped them in his mouth and sucked them clean.
Holy crap, I think I may melt from that display alone.
“I’d say better than all right,” I whispered with a giggle, the giddiness starting to build through me now that our fun was over. “I want to return the favor,” I murmured, reaching over. He chuckled softly and grabbed a hold of my hand, our fingers intertwining.
“Raincheck, okay? I don’t want to hog you the entire time of our first Valentine’s Day together,” he teased. I felt my stomach tighten, and I grimaced.
“Hopefully the others aren’t upset.”
“Shh, Babydoll, they’re fine,” Kingston reassured, wrapping an arm around my waist so he could hold me. “All they care about is making sure you’re enjoying your Valentine’s Day.”
“I am, I just don’t want anyone to feel left out.” Burrowing into Kingston’s chest, I hugged him back. It was slightly awkward since we were both still on the bed, my other arm tucked into my chest.
“If anyone ever feels that way, we’ll talk about it, remember? That was one of the things you brought up when we got together. Don’t think we’ve forgotten.”
“You’re right.” Taking a deep breath, the worry faded away leaving satisfaction in its wake. “Let’s get a movie and head downstairs. Otherwise, I’ll end up taking a nap right here.”
Kingston laughed but let me go. Clambering off the bed, I quickly buttoned up my pants before scanning the batch of movies King had in his room. After a couple passes, I grabbed The Proposal, figuring it would be a good Valentine’s Day movie.
“Never expected you to have a rom com in your movie collection,” I told King as we headed back downstairs.
“I like Ryan Reynolds. Besides, Betty White totally makes the movie,” he explained shamelessly, smiling at me when I chuckled.
“So, what are we watching?” Reid asked when we stepped into the living room. While he didn’t say anything about how long it took us to come back down, I could tell he was aware of what happened based on his knowing smirk and glimmer in his gaze. “Hopefully nothing too girly.” I stuck my tongue out at him, holding up the movie for him to see. “All right, that’s an acceptable choice.”
“If it wasn’t, you could have picked one out, you know,” I challenged playfully, flopping in the space between him and Jesse. “You good with the movie, Jess?”
“Yes, ma’am,” he murmured, settling me under his arm so I could snuggle into his chest. Reid took the hint, picking up my feet so I was sprawled down between the two of them, tossing a blanket over me while King put in the movie. As soon as it was playing, Kingston sank into the chair on the other side of Reid and got settled.
It was nice, getting to relax and enjoy spending time with them without worries or fear of my mom watching over my shoulder. Only… after a little while, Jesse shifted, nestling into the couch a bit more, and my heart rate picked up as I remembered the last time we had movie night. Reid readjusted, catching my attention as I waited to see if Jesse would do what he did before. A sly smile and side-eyed gaze came from Reid when he glanced over, knowing exactly what was about to happen. My cheeks burned at the attention, but as much as it was odd to have his attention while Jesse’s fingers crept down my belly, I didn’t mind it either.
“Seems someone was a bit busy upstairs,” Jesse whispered in my ear when he reached my core, the tips of his fingers running along my lips agonizingly slowly. His teasing words were hushed enough that I knew only I could hear him. Before I could say anything, he started to rub circles over my sensitive bud. I bit my lower lip to keep from making any noises, not that it mattered since I could see Reid watching me out of the corner of his eye. The added sensation of being watched, and Reid’s hand massaging my calf, only added to the excitement flowing through me.
As if I was extra sensitive from my time with Kingston, it didn’t take long for Jesse to work me to the edge of an orgasm. Biting my tongue, I grabbed hold of Jesse’s muscled thigh, squeezing as I tried to stay still between the two of them. Jesse’s chuckle was barely audible, but it filled my ear as he gave my head a kiss and slipped out of my panties.
“Well, I’m certainly in need of some sweets,” Reid exclaimed, shifting my legs off his lap as he stood. “As I know some of you guys are as well.” I felt my cheeks burn when he flashed me a knowing smirk and wink. “I’ll go grab some for all of us. What does everyone want?” Once everyone rattled off their request, Reid headed into the kitchen. Shifting to sit up, I glanced over my shoulder and narrowed my eyes on Jesse.
“I’m going to sit with Kingston for a bit,” I told him, pressing my lips against the curve of his ear so I could whisper, “since someone can’t keep their hands to themselves.”
“You love it,” he countered unapologetically. Laughing, I shook my head and crawled out from under the blanket then walked over to Kingston. My laidback boyfriend gave me a warm smile and held his blanket up so that I could climb onto his lap. As I got situated, Reid came back in, passing out our treats. Before heading back to his seat though, he gave me a passionate kiss, not caring that I was perched in Kingston’s lap.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Cali girl,” Reid murmured against my lips. “I hope you had fun,” he teased with a chuckle as he pulled back and flopped into his seat by Jesse.
“You having fun?” Kingston asked as we munched on our treats. I nodded since my mouth was full. “Figured you would; hopefully Jesse didn’t scare you away from sitting with them though.” At being so casually called out, I choked on my cookie, coughing up the chocolate chips.
“You…” I tried to talk, but my throat burned from the cookie fiasco, stopping any excuses I might have made.
“Neither of you are subtle,” Kingston stated simply, giving me a soft smile. “It’s okay. We’re all dating you because we all love making you happy, and part of that is appreciating your happiness even when it comes from one of the other guys.”
“And other things,” Reid added with an eyebrow waggle. By now, my cheeks were on fire, and I didn’t have anything to say to them ganging up on me. So, like a mature eighteen-year-old, I stuck my tongue out and snuggled into Kingston so I could watch the movie.
“We love you, Emma,” King said after a little while. “You don’t need to be ashamed.”
