sorry I wasn’t talking to you. I’m talking to the ones who will be getting sex later if they humor me.”
“Fuck, I’m sorry. Tell me what you need and I’m yours.” The guy backtracks, making me laugh.
“Fuck off, Rebel,” Bates snaps before shoving the other guy so hard he sprawls across the floor.
“What’s up, Trouble?” Saint asks, reaching me first, Priest and Bates right behind him.
“I’m just trying to help Diesel out here. He is a resident of Lala land, and I’m trying to bring him back down to earth.”
“Tell her I’m hot, dammit,” Diesel yells, making Bates scowl at him.
“Can’t say you’re my type,” Priest answers wryly.
“Can you lift your shirt again, Diesel? I feel like I might have judged you prematurely. I should take a second look, you know, in case I was wrong.”
Looking smug, he lifts his shirt to reveal his still nicely toned abs.
“Hmm... no, not wrong.” I sigh, making Luna laugh again.
Turning to face my guys, I pout playfully. “Can you lift your shirts for me, please?” I’m not sure they’ll do it until I see the twinkle in Bates’s eyes.
One by one, they lift their T-shirts and hold them for a moment.
“Holy mother of god,” Luna says with a whimper from beside me.
“Hey!” Gage yells, making a beeline for us, but she ignores him in favor of getting a closer look at the ab fest in front of her.
“Oh, come on!” Diesel throws up his hands.
“It’s like they’ve been photoshopped,” Luna whispers to me, reaching out to touch Saint’s stomach, but she quickly finds herself up and over Gage’s shoulder after he appears behind her. It’s just as well. I would hate to have to break her hand.
“Thanks, guys,” I tell them, turning back to this Diesel guy. Not gonna lie, this guy is hot, with his dark hair, bright blue eyes and dimpled smile. If I didn’t have the holy trinity of hot guys at my back, I’d likely find him a whole lot more appealing. Plus, he seems a little too stable for my liking, I tend to lean more towards men of the unhinged variety.
“Now, that is the difference between a five-course meal,” I point at my guys before looking back at Diesel, “and something off the dollar menu,” I tease.
He mumbles something about going to the gym before turning around and walking off.
“I’m not sure I like the idea of you and Luna together.”
I look up at the sound of the amused voice and find Halo staring at me from beside Priest. This guy looks like he could be a model. Blond to Diesel’s dark with a definite resemblance to the actor who plays Thor.
And now I’m thinking about his mighty hammer.
“I resent that, but I’ll let you get away with it if you let me stand here and stare at you for a minute because you sure are pretty,” I answer without thinking.
“See, I told you, pretty boy,” I hear Luna shout, but I can’t see her because Bates has stepped into my pathway.
“Pretty?” he growls.
Oops, let’s not antagonize the bad man.
“Did I say pretty? I meant feminine. I like men who put the hot in psychotic, don’t worry, princess,” I tell him with a quick kiss. Or at least it was supposed to be a quick kiss, but Bates now feels the need to show every man here who I belong too.
Oh well, there are worse things in life than having a biker feeling you up.
“Did she just call him princess?” I hear someone ask, but I’m too busy trying not to have an orgasm in a room full of strangers to pay it much attention.
Bates pulls away, eventually making someone groan.
Oh, right, that would be me.
“Damn, just when it was getting good,” Diesel grumbles.
When the hell did he come back?
“It’s like you want him to kill you,” I hear Orion say with snort before Halo speaks.
“Come on, I’ll show you to your room and then you can get some shut-eye before visiting hours start up again at the hospital.”
Even though I slept the whole way here, I’m still tired, and the guys must be beat from being up all night.
“That would be great, thank you,” I tell him gratefully.
Bates slings his arm over my shoulder and leads us behind Halo across the large room to the door at the back, which in turn leads us up a long corridor where I assume all the bedrooms are.
“Here, we’ve given you the large one at the end. There are
