“You guys, this is too much! I can’t accept this kind of offer.”
“But you can,” Trent said.
“And you will,” Caleb added.
“Are you both absolutely sure?”
“As Caleb said, we care about you. We care about you a lot, and we don’t want to be separated from you anymore. You make us so happy.”
He wiped off my tears. They were so kind and supportive, and I had no words to express how I felt about them. Still, there was that suffocating sense of guilt that was getting stronger. I sobbed loudly, pressing myself against Trent as I cried into his shirt.
“But you don’t know everything about me!” My wails were loud, showing the despair that filled my being at the thought of all those people displaced because of me.
Caleb’s eyebrows furrowed. “What do you mean?”
I had to tell them. I couldn’t keep it a secret from them.
“I started the fire. I think I left a pot on the stove, and I forgot about it.” I couldn’t look at them in the eyes, so I closed my eyes, but Trent cupped my chin gently and made me look at him.
“Hey. Don’t say it like that. It’s not your fault.”
“But it is my fault! I was careless, and now I can’t get over my stupid mistake...”
“You’re wrong,” Caleb told me and placed his hand on my back. His caress awoke desire in me, despite my crushing emotions. “It wasn’t your fault.”
“There was a faulty wire in the basement,” Trent said. “That was the reason for the fire.”
For a moment I wasn’t able to breathe as their words sank in. “So it wasn’t my fault at all?”
They cracked smiles, bringing me a huge wave of comfort, and there was no more heaviness inside of me.
“Not even a little bit. Though we’re going to have to work on your fire safety when you come live with us.” Caleb smirked at his own joke.
“Oh God.” I burst into tears again and covered my face with my hands.
I was shaking, trying to process the truth. It wasn’t my fault. I was elated that it hadn’t been me that caused the fire since I’d been carrying so much guilt. “Oh God. I can’t believe it! I’m so happy right now. All this time I blamed myself, thinking the worst...”
Caleb pulled me into his arms and placed my head on his shoulder. I closed my eyes and inhaled his scent. He smelled so good, creating a potent rush of lust that demanded to be satiated.
“Everything is going to be okay, Bree. There is nothing to worry about anymore. So do you accept our offer? Will you allow us to help you with the expenses?”
“And do you want to live with us?”
I took their hands and smiled at them. I’d fallen so hard for them that there was no other way for me. I needed them as much as they needed me.
“It’s a double yes.”
“Yeah!” Caleb exclaimed and kissed me.
His lips slid over mine before he pushed his tongue inside my mouth, and I felt feverish, instantly drowning in pure pleasure. I jumped onto his lap, straddling him, and grinded against him. He sucked my tongue into his mouth, making my pussy throb with desire, and I wanted all our clothes gone right away.
Just as I reached for the top button of Caleb’s shirt, he stopped me. “Not here. We want you to come with us to our place tonight.”
Oh. “Now?”
“Yes. We’ll help you with packing.”
I shook my head, feeling bitter at the reminder that I actually didn’t have anything. “There’s no need for packing. I’ve lost all my things, so...”
