The Chase

Instantly, he and Seth yanked the quick-release lines and freed her.

Heavenly rolled her shoulders in relief as Seth eased her off his body and set her beside him. “I know this relationship might not last—”

“Unless you walk away, it will.” Seth ditched his condom in the trash before returning to sprawl on the bed next to her.

“Forever,” Beck added.

A frown flickered across her face. Because she didn’t believe them? Time would prove her wrong.

“School has to be my top priority.”

“Of course. You good with that?” Beck turned to Seth.

“Totally.”

“I’ll need time to study.”

“You will. And I’ll be happy to help,” Beck offered. “Anytime. You’ll also have the condo to yourself, so it should be quiet.”

“I’d be living there alone?”

Her startled question gave Beck pause. “You don’t want that?”

“When I thought I was staying there by myself for a few days while Dad got better, that was fine. I mean, the condo is beautiful, but…”

“You’ve never been on your own,” Seth finished for her.

She shook her head. “It will feel empty without you two.”

That shouldn’t surprise Beck. She hadn’t even wanted to sleep by herself the first night she’d stayed there.

“How about we move into my place together? We’ll consider it a trial period to see if we can successfully cohabitate. The condo is too small for all of us.”

“Works for me,” Seth said. “I won’t miss my shitty apartment.”

Heavenly only hesitated for a moment. “Okay.”

Had she really just agreed to come home and move in with them?

“That’s a yes?” Beck clarified.

She nodded. “Until the semester ends, yes.”

He snapped his stare over to Seth, who looked equally stunned—and ready to celebrate. Sure, the arrangement was temporary, but it gave them time to convince her she belonged with them for good. In his head, Beck started ordering monogrammed towels and a bigger bed. The PI looked like he was mentally tying her to it.

“You can reserve the condo as your woman cave for those times you need a break from all of our flexing, muscular man flesh.” Beck winked.

She giggled. “I have no doubt I’ll need a place where I can escape you two and the pleasure you seem incredibly capable of distracting me with.”

“I’m sure we’re a hardship,” Seth drawled.

“What else?” Beck lounged across the foot of the bed, totally at ease now. Her other demands couldn’t possibly overshadow the victory he and Seth had just scored.

She settled back on the mattress, bent her legs against her chest, and wrapped her arms around herself. Beck tried not to be distracted by the excellent view of her still-swollen pussy she was unconsciously flashing him.

Heavenly paused, cocking her head like she had something on her mind. “I’m not sure how to ask this…”

“Just say it.”
