Chapter Six
Gavin’s hand stayed on the base of her back, and Rosie loved his touch. She was aware of the others watching them. Every time she glanced in their direction, there was no escaping the heat in their eyes.
“So, everyone keeps telling me that I belong to you. What do you think?”
“I think I want you. I speak for all of us.”
“I don’t want you to speak for all of you. I want you to answer for yourself.”
He sighed.
“I know you guys have been together a long time, and this is probably completely out of character, and whatnot, but I’ve got to make a decision.”
“You already said you want to be with us.”
“I thought that was about sex, Gavin. What you guys are wanting is not just about sex anymore. It’s about something else.”
“We want you to belong to us. To be our woman.”
“What about you? All five of you must have different wants, different needs, different desires.”
“If we did, do you think we’d be waiting for you? We wouldn’t be here, wanting you, hoping you’ll see what we all desire. You want to know what I want? I want you, Rosie. I want to wake up kissing you in the morning, and take care of you. Everything your heart desires, I want to give it to you, and see the happiness in your eyes.” He leaned forward, kissing her cheek. “You’re the only woman I want.”
He stepped away, but before she could move, Billy had his arms around her.
“We all promised you a dance.”
“Did you hear any of what I said to Gavin?” she asked.
“No. You’ll have your private moments with each of us.”
“This is what you want as well? To share one woman.”
“You make it sound like it’s a sin.”
“Years ago, it would have been,” she said.
“What did you want to know?” he asked.
“What do you want? No one else. I don’t care about what other people think. I want to know what you think.” She did care about the others, but right now, she wanted to know what they all were thinking.
“I’m hoping you’ll see that we’re all here because we want to be.”
She moved from Billy’s arms to Marshall’s. He was the largest of the group, and towered over her like a big bear.
“You gonna ask me?” he asked.
“You heard?”
“Gavin told us what you were asking, and I saw the same look in Billy’s eyes. You think we’re not all here because we want to be?”
“Don’t you have any other wishes? Dreams?”
“Of course I do. I want to be a daddy, Rosie. I want to have kids, and treat my woman with love and care. I want to watch her get loved by my friends, and then beg me to love her as well. I’m hoping that woman will be you.”
“You want to share?”
“Yeah, and don’t even think to tell me that it’s not right. I saw how much you loved being between us. There’s no denying that.”
