We lapse into silence for the rest of the drive, and e get to Marcus’s place, he slides out of the car and retrievesh h the house and up the stairs to his bedroom

I half expect him to attack ainst it like he did at the bar

But he doesn’t

He laysoff every layer of s his own clothes off and worships me with his hands, mouth, lips, and teeth

His skin is hot againstinside hiathered in his body, feel the restraint it’s taking for hi into me only after he’s peppered every inch of my skin with kisses

Even the way he fucks me is slow, deliberate, and so deep that I lose track of where I end and he begins

I fall asleep in his ar time—maybe even my whole life—I feel utterly safe

The guys have an early flight, so Marcus is up practically before the sun is

I doze while he showers, and he tells oes downstairs to meet the other two—but he doesn’t complain one bit when I throw on a pair of sweats and a tank top and walk doith him In fact, he sticks close to my side, as if he doesn’t want to step away from me until he physically has to

Ryland and Theo are already waiting in the foyer e get down there I’uys all have keys to each other’s places and know the security codes on each other’s alarms and shit They’re so deep in each other’s lives that it makes sense

“Ready?” Ryland catches Marcus’s gaze and lifts his chin He’s wearing a dark blue button up today, and it contrasts nicely with the tattoos that adorn his neck and ar even ed and powerful than usual

“Yeah” Marcus nods

“Let’s get this fuckin’ thing over with then,” Theo says

The saed Marcus’s voice when he talked about it last night seeps into his tone too, and I glance over at him His messy blond hair is shoved back from his face, and his crooked smile is nowhere to be found

I wonder why they don’t just tell their fa I already know the answer I gave Ryland a hard ti part of their faave him credit for
