I laugh at his eagerness. I swear he’s like a damn puppy. A puppy that will chew your leg off if he wanted to, but still, a puppy.

“No one is having sex with Cove.”

“What?!” Shepherd shouts, gaping at his brother like he grew another head. “Why the fuck not?”

“Yeah. Why the fuck not?” Saint grunts.

“How the hell are we supposed to get her pregnant if we can’t fuck her?”

Maverick looks to his brothers, then back to me. “That’s why. Cove doesn’t want to get pregnant. And we need to respect that. But that also means, until she’s ready, we’re not having sex with her. None of us.”

“You know...” I lean forward, my ass rubbing against Saint’s dick. I feel it hardening under me as he lets out a low groan. Heat sparks in my lower belly, but I push it down and keep talking. “You should be happy that I want to have sex with you three. After everything you’ve done, I should be trying to kill you in your sleep.”

“Oh, please.” Maverick sits back in his chair, crossing his arms as he narrows his eyes. “You damn well know you’re loving this. All of this. You keep forgetting, malen'kiy zaychik, we know you better than you know yourself.”

“Because you're all creepy stalkers.” I throw my arms up. “Also, why do you keep calling me malen'kiy zaychik?”

“It means Little Bunny,” Maverick explains.

“So why not call me Little Bunny like you have been?”

“Because I saw the spark of heat in your eyes when I said it in Russian back at the gym.”

“So you like teasing me? Of course you do. Because you’re an asshole. And creepy. You’re a creepy asshole. All of you are.”

“Hey! That's mean. I’m not creepy,” Shepherd grumbles. “Am I?” he asks, looking at his brothers.

“A little bit,” Saint chuckles in confirmation.

“Why? Because I’ve been watching her sleep for years? It’s not like I jerk off while I do it.”

My head snaps over to him so fast I almost get whiplash. “I’m sorry, what!?”

“You’ve totally jerked off while watching her sleep. Who do you think you’re fooling?”

Shepherd’s lips twist into a grin. “Okay, yeah, I have. But I’m not an asshole.”

My lips part as I gape at him. “Perv.”

Shepherd’s lids lower, arousal filling his gaze. “But I’m your perv.”

“What is my life right now?” I groan, lowering my head to the table.

“We can give you everything you want, Cove,” Maverick says. “Not just your deepest, darkest desires, but a stable life, a loving home, our devotion to you and you only. But you have to want it.”

“And if I don’t?” I ask, narrowing my eyes. “Will you let me go?”

He stares at me for a moment before answering. “No.” He leans in, getting closer to me. “Because you are ours, Cove. Like it or not, we’re never letting you go.”

“So you’d just keep me locked up for the rest of my life?” I snarl. “Even though I wouldn’t want anything to do with you. Why the fuck would you want that?”

“Because we know that we’re inevitable. You act like you're pissed off, that you're upset by all of this. But we know that at the end of the day, we’re going to give you everything you could ever want. Everything you already want. You just need to get over your pride and take it.”

Like he did before, he gets up and walks away. “Eat your food. It’s getting cold,” he demands over his shoulder as he leaves the room.

“Go fuck yourself!”

“Don’t need to. That's what your mouth was for,” he chuckles.
