was more of a need.

As Noah’s right hand moved down my body and under my shirt, I heard a noise.

I quickly moved and nudged Noah away.

Then came the sound of someone clapping.

I sat up a little and saw Easton standing near the end of the bed.

A smile on his face.

“Good morning,” he said. “Anyone need some coffee?”

Noah jumped out of the bed and went after Easton.

Easton danced around to my side of the bed, laughing his ass off.

He jumped on the bed, over me, bouncing, sitting next to me.

“My turn,” he said with a laugh.

I made a fist with my right hand and hit Easton in the face.

I got him good enough on the nose that he started to bleed.

“You deserved that,” Noah said. “You’re lucky it wasn’t me. I’d smash your nose through the back of your skull.”

I sat up more in the bed and was between Noah and Easton.

“Oh, damn,” Easton said. “I just wanted to see if anyone wanted some coffee. We all had a long night.”

“You’re an asshole, Easton,” I said.

I felt my face burning ten shades of red.

My mind and heart flirting with what would have happened with Noah.

But the moment had been there and was way gone now.

I threw the covers off my body and got out of the bed.

“Look at those shorts,” Easton said. “And those legs.”

I stopped and turned. “What is your problem this morning?”

“Nothing,” Easton said. “You’re beautiful, Winter. Did Noah tell you that too?”

I looked at Noah.

He was enraged.

I shook my head. “This is sad to see. You two. Fighting.”

“Over you,” Easton said.

“No. Not over me.”

Noah looked at me.

He was sad. Angry. Dangerous.

His eyes hinted at that L word he dropped which I refused to think about.

I walked away from the massive, comfortable bed, and went to the bathroom.

I opened the door and was hit with steam and the smell of men’s soap.

The smell tickled my nose and tickled everywhere else on my body.

I guess that meant Xavier had gotten back and showered.

I went to the sink and ran the cold water.

I splashed a little on my face, bringing myself back to normal.

That had been close with Noah.

I wasn’t so sure it was a good idea to let myself slip. Or even if it wasn’t a slip, I wasn’t so sure I should do it anyway.

When I lifted my head, the mirror was still fogged up.

I grabbed a towel and wiped down the mirror.

I screamed when I saw someone standing behind me.

I spun around and saw Xavier standing in a towel.

“You can’t knock?” he asked.

“The door was unlocked.”

“I was in the shower.”

“The water wasn’t running,” I said.

“I was drying off.”

I opened my mouth but my eyes took over.

There was no hiding as my eyes moved all across the parts of Xavier’s body that were exposed.

I felt myself blushing as I looked at the muscles.

They. Were. Everywhere.

He was built like… wow.

“Did you go for a run or something?” I asked.

“A run and weights,” he said. “What I always do.”

Xavier liked to run. Just like his sister.

Whoa.

I noticed a few droplets of water on his right shoulder.

My fingertips begged to touch and wipe the water away.

“I guess you need the bathroom,” he said.

He took a step and I moved in front of him. “No. Sorry. I just had to get away from the other two. They, uh, were kind of fighting over me.”

“What?”

“It’s stupid. I punched Easton in the nose. He’s bleeding.”

“Nice,” Xavier said. He took another step closer to me. “Want to punch me?”

“Maybe,” I flirted.

“Think you can make me bleed?”

“At least if I do you’re already naked and can just jump into the shower.”

“Yeah,” he said. “Maybe you could join me next time, Winter.”

I let out a weak sounding haha and Xavier walked around me.

He left the bathroom and I followed a few seconds later.

I was burning in more ways than I wanted to admit to myself.

I rushed to the kitchen and found comfort over a hot cup of coffee.

When I realized it was already after noon, shock rippled through me.

Time was flying by up here.

Which was a good thing.

I felt like I had enough information to figure out my next step with the guys.

Little hints of truths were all around me. I just needed some time alone to put it all together. Or time with Gia. And Talon. I could pay that Troc one more time and then be done with him for good.

I took my coffee from the bedroom and saw Noah, Easton, and Xavier on the opposite
