CHAPTER 22

MINA

"Don't ask if I'm all right," I told my men as they followed me into Reuben's bedroom.

"Were we going to do that?" Gianni asked. He turned back around to face the other two, his hands spread to either side.

"Yes." Damon stepped around him, into the room. "That's exactly what we were going to do." He looked at me questioningly.

"I'm fine," I said with a sigh.

I touched my mouth, where the duct tape was adhered. Taking it off had sucked like a bitch, but it was better than having it on there. The cable tie only needed a snip with a decent pair of scissors. Being restrained by that was worse than the tape over my mouth.

If anything was going to give me nightmares, it was that.

All three of them looked at me sceptically.

"I'm fine ," I insisted. "Tired, relieved and okay. And in need of some hot water."

"I'll turn it on." Gianni hurried to the ensuite to turn on the shower.

"I'll help you in." Damon nodded for me to raise my hands, before gripping the hem of my T-shirt and pulling it over my head.

Reuben undid the clasp of my bra. I dropped my arms to let it fall to the floor.

Damon undid the front of my jeans and they both worked them down my legs and off my feet.

"Thank you," I said graciously before stepping towards the shower. Gianni was already naked, and ready with the body wash. All I had to do was step under the delicious warmth and let it wash the night away.

"Turn around," Gianni said.

I turned to face the water and let him rub body wash all over my back before massaging it into a lather. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the way his hands felt on me, and the occasional brush of his erection against me.

"You're so tense," he said. He worked out the knot in one of my shoulders while Damon and Reuben stripped off and joined us, using the shower head on the opposite wall.

They moved around each other carefully, not quite touching while they washed, but both with erect cocks.

"It's been a long night," I pointed out.

"Very long." He pressed the head of his cock against me deliberately.

I reached around behind me to grip his length and run my hand up and down from his head to his balls. "Very long and very hard."

He moaned softly. "Accurate." He rinsed the last of the body wash off me and his hands, before shampooing my hair and turning me around to rinse that off too.

While I washed it away, he slipped his hand between my legs and rubbed it back and forth over my pussy.

It was my turn to moan.

After all we'd been through for the last handful of hours, he still got me going. His touch and the sight of the other two men, virtually dancing around each other.

Finally, Damon grabbed a bar of soap and started to wash Reuben's back. That was all he did, but the intimacy was both endearing and arousing.

If I ever doubted the way they felt about each other, I didn't anymore. They went way beyond being boss and employee or even brothers. I wasn't sure when they'd crossed that line, but they had. They'd become something much more. Something deeper.

"Cute, aren't they?" Gianni asked. He let his feelings for Damon show on his face. He cared about him, wanted to be physical with him, but I wasn't sure if they'd ever have a deeper relationship. His heart was with me.

Reuben and Damon, their hearts were with me, and with each other.

"Very cute," I said breathlessly.

Cuter still when Reuben turned around and kissed Damon, while Damon slowly pumped Reuben's cock. Okay, maybe cute wasn't the word. Smoking hot might be more accurate.

Gianni sank to his knees in front of me and gently parted my legs, just far enough to be able to tease my pussy with his tongue.

"Why are you always so delicious?" he asked.

I assumed that was a rhetorical question, because I couldn't respond with words. Just a groan as he slid a finger inside me, then another.

I kept my eyes half open, watching Reuben and Damon become more bold with touching each other. They both had their hands curled around each other's cocks. Reuben’s touch was more tentative than Damon’s. Like he'd imagined doing this, but never thought the moment would come.

I was the next to come, my head back under the hot water as I rolled my hips, increasing the friction as Gianni fucked me with his tongue and hand.

The world exploded in fireworks, and something I'd never experienced before. A true and absolute sensation of letting go. I held absolutely nothing back, not one drop of blood, not one beat of my heart. Heat roared through my body like an inferno, engulfing me, burning me down to my core before I was reborn from the ashes.

In that moment, my past was finally behind me. I could be the woman I was always meant to be. Fully, totally free, belonging only to these three men, and to myself.

Finally, I drifted back down to reality, panting lightly.

I waited until Gianni pulled his fingers out of me to pull him to his feet and wrap my leg around his waist. I positioned the entrance of my pussy against his cock and nudged him with my heel on his ass.

He obliged by sliding slowly and carefully into me, my back pressed against the side of the shower.

"Why do you always feel incredible?" he said breathlessly. Another rhetorical question, because after that we only communicated with thrusts, rolls of our hips and moans.

His piercings massaged my insides and drove me all the way back to the edge, holding me there for the longest time while he thrust into me with slow, deliberate, savouring strokes.

I sensed he felt my epiphany. Maybe he experienced it too.

Where before we felt like time was limited, now we knew it wasn't. We won, and now we got to enjoy that wonderful, beautiful victory.

The only sound in my ears was the roar of blood and the delicious sound of three men close to coming. Was Gianni waiting for Damon and Reuben? If he did, he timed it to perfection.

Almost simultaneously, all three men reached their orgasm, grunting, groaning and thrusting hard and fast.

Reuben and Damon spilled themselves into each other's hands and Gianni into my body. The hot water from the other shower head quickly washed away the pearly cum, from their fingers, but the sight of it was something none of us would ever forget.

It wasn't just release, it was acceptance.

Love.

It meant everything and it was arousing as hell.

I tipped my head back and closed my eyes, letting Gianni's piercings hit me at exactly the right angle. The friction from them was fucking incredible. The gift he gave me by having them was next level.

I came for a second time, along with them. The shower was awash with steam and bliss. My whole body was alight with pleasure, even more intense and powerful than the first time.

It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. A rush of moisture gushed from me, drenching Gianni's cock even more.

"Good girl," he managed to say, his words strained as he was still coming down from his own orgasm. "You fuck so beautifully. Not like anyone else I’ve ever met. So perfect. So fucking ours."

"So yours," I agreed when I was finally able to speak again. "So yours. You're all so mine."

I was the luckiest girl in the world.

Maybe I had to go through what I went through in order to end up here. In which case, maybe it was worth it. If this was the light at the end of a long, pitch black tunnel, then I was happy to bask in every bit of that glow.

Reuben and Damon exchanged soft looks. They didn't say the words out loud, but we heard and understood. They were so each other's too.

"Let's get out of here," Reuben said finally. "It's past time for us to get some rest." He didn't look as though he regretted taking the time to shower first. Partly because he would have been as dirty as the rest of us and partly because he'd taken this next, huge step.

"Good idea, boss," Gianni said.

"Yeah, good idea." Damon looked like he didn't know if should address Reuben as boss or something else. Evidently, that was a conversation for later. He stepped out of the shower and started to dry himself before tossing a towel to each of us as we stepped out with him.

"This feels like it was always meant to be this way." Gianni dried himself and wrapped his towel around his waist. He grabbed another to start drying my hair. "All four of us. We all had dysfunctional families, to some extent, but we all found each other and now we're family."

"We are," Reuben agreed. He too finished drying and wrapped his own towel around his waist. He seemed lighter as well. Like he'd spent years carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders and now he was sharing that weight. With us and with his brothers.

In spite of his stoic exterior, I suspected this was a relief for him. He had been raised to take over the family, but that was an enormous job for one person. His pride had stopped him from delegating as much as he should have. Maybe now he'd do more of that. After all, the twins did need to be kept busy. And I suspected Caleb would appreciate more responsibility.

I wondered if I could convince Reuben to step down as head of the family and hand it over to one of his brothers. Probably not, but I'd do what I could to lighten his load.

"And family looks after family," Gianni said. He put the towel aside and picked up a brush to start on my hair. "Especially when they're the family you choose. That's the best kind of family."

"They certainly make more sense than people we're related to by blood," Damon said dryly. It seemed as though he and Enzo still had some work to do. Hopefully they'd sort things out. I had a feeling they both needed each other more than they realised.

Which reminded me, there were some conversations I needed to have. Asher was at the top of that list. But that list could wait until tomorrow. For now, I want to snuggle up with my incredible men, and get some rest.

I didn't bother with a towel. Once I was dry and brushed, I padded over to the bed and climbed in, laying in the centre.

Gianni crept under the covers on one side and Reuben and Damon on the other. They all shuffled over closer to me and each other, close enough that I felt their presence, warm and solid.

After so much death tonight, I felt very much alive.

So loved.

The next day wouldn't be easy, but we'd get through it. Together.

I closed my eyes and listened as one by one, they drifted off to sleep. Gianni started to snore slightly.

A smile on my lips, I drifted off as well. Into a sleep full of dreams, which bordered on nightmares. None as terrifying as the ones I used to have. Those gradually retreated to the back of my mind, ready to be forgotten.

Finally.
