Secrets Worth Keeping (Finding my Home #2)- Nikita Parmenter Page 0,23

as Trick’s arms tighten around me obviously having heard. The parents all walk in just as Rafe crouches in front of me, Jensen doesn’t take his eyes off me or his hand as Rafe lean’s forward and kisses me senseless, right there in front of everybody whilst I’m sat on Trick, with both Jensen and Riot touching me.

It feels right but it shouldn’t, should it?

Society dictates that it shouldn’t but then again society is fucked so should I really pay any attention to it?

“What was that for?” I ask.

“You were sad, and overthinking, us three are at awkward angles to kiss you and catch you by surprise and Rafe was the first name that came to me” Jensen says casually and my mind stutters.

Is it really that easy for him to share me? He wasn’t in a position, literally, to comfort me how he thought I needed to be comforted so he asked one of the others too?

That’s pretty fucking amazing.

It makes the claws of hope dig in deeper. There’s no getting rid of it now.

Fuck.

“Distraction” Rafe answers effectively pulling me out of my thoughts again, his voice grumbling.

Riot chuckles next to me and Rafe turns to him and smirks, planting a soft kiss on his lips. That effectively stops what ever was going to come out of his mouth.

“Haha, it works on you too” I tease turning to Riot he darts forward and captures my lips in a searing kiss.

“Dude, that’s not playing fair” I say breathlessly and all my guys chuckle.

“You guy’s are adorable” Kat suddenly says.

The guys all freeze seeming to have completely forgotten where we are for a moment and that they were nearby. I chuckle quietly and they relax. Rafe finally gets up, moving to sit on the arm of the couch near Riot and wrapping his arm around him as Riot leans into him. A content smile on his features, his hand still on my leg.

The doorbell rings and Marc and Rich get up from where they’re sitting either side of Kat to grab them since there’s so many of us and the guy’s tend to eat a large one each, it’s going to take the two of them to carry them all. The next hour or so is spent eating pizza and laughing. It’s amazing to me that this sort of thing happens in real life. Family night, with pizza. No drugs, no pervy men, no threat of violence. Just happy people enjoying spending time together.

“Well we’re going to take off, see you at the Christmas eve tree decorating on Monday!” Marc says, “I’m assuming you’ll be here until the last possible second?” he chuckles his question aimed at Cash who just shrugs and grins.

Marc, Rich and Kat all get up together and start to make their way towards the door, all of us yelling goodbyes. I watch as Kat pulls him down and whispers something in his ear before grabbing Rich and pulling him out the door, Cash and Jensen have little confused frowns on their faces as they watch their parents and it’s adorable. Marc doubles back to where we are all sat.

“Can we talk for sec Cash?” he says.

“Sure dad,” Cash answers. Getting up and walking over to where his dad is standing just out of hearing range.

“Do you want to go and watch a film, Dragonfly?” Trick asks from behind me and I nod.

“Maybe explain what was going on between my dad and Cash’s parents?” Jensen asks raising his eyebrow as we all make our way upstairs.

“Nope we’ve got to wait for Cash before I’ll explain that, it’s only fair since it concerns his parents too” I tell him.

“Fine” he huffs exaggeratedly, before a mischievous grin lights his face. He quickly but gently scoops me up being careful of my injuries and runs up the stairs with me.

Seriously impressive.

“What are you doing?” I ask between giggles.

“Snagging the best spot again” he grins cheekily, before gently placing me at the top of the bed so I’m sat up and the crawling on top of me and setting his head on my stomach again. It seems like this is his favourite position.

“You fucker” Riot growls as he enters, making Jensen and the guys laugh. I just grin happily.

Cash

Mom, dad and Rich have been acting weird all evening to be honest. I can’t quite put my finger on it, they just seem closer than they ever have before. I’ve caught looks between them and Rich at family events before that seemed almost
