Our Love Story

Keep me filled.

The opportunity has never presented itself, probably because I’ve always lived my life with my head down, never putting myself in a position where I would be seen.

But tonight, this man found me.

“I was thinking that I like being here; being here with you and your friends.”

I dip my chin, raise my eyes, and when I do, what I find is Mason’s piercing gaze. My body fills with emotion. He sees me.

And he likes what he sees.

He leans in and touches his finger against my lips. As he does, the softest of moans emits from my mouth. I’m not embarrassed for letting it escape.

I wanted it to escape. I wanted him to know that when he touches me, I like it.

I want him to touch me more.

He does.

He leans in and kisses me. I sigh as our mouths part and his tongue finds mine. His hand is on the base of my neck, holding my head, which is necessary at this exact moment because I feel like I could fall to the ground. I’m melting into him; into this kiss.

Into this moment.

I don’t want it to end.

But it does, and when he pulls back I realize it was for one reason and one reason only.

He reaches down and adjusts himself.

I see the bulge in his jeans. He’s so hard right now, and part of me wants to see how big he is; how thick he is.

Before I can ask, though; ask for things I’ve never imagined asking for before, the other guys walk back into the kitchen.

I freeze, not knowing what they will think of my behavior. I never act like this … so bold. But maybe the events of the night have loosened something inside me. Something that wanted to be free.

Ethan’s eyebrows raise in surprise, Noah’s smile is gone, and Enzo twists his lips.... But Mason? He just pulls me closer.Chapter FourChloe“What’s going on here?” Noah asks, breaking the tension, and sauntering over to us.

I step away from Mason, not wanting to cause problems between the guys. But when I step away, I notice Noah looking down and seeing his friend’s hard-on.

Oh.

That’s why Mason pulled me close. I feel like an idiot.

“Looks like I missed out on all the fun. Save any love for me?” Noah teases, no irritation in his tone. A flood of relief washes over me as the other guys step closer, no one seemingly annoyed at Mason’s move.

Mason shakes his head. “Hey, Chloe’s a virgin, we need to go easy on her. I don’t know if she likes that kind of joking.”

Noah shrugs. “Well, why don’t we ask her then?”

Noah looks directly at me, and a different sort of heat than what I felt with Mason rises to my chest. I feel like Noah could do filthy things to me.

Where Mason touched me softly, I feel like Noah would make sure I was having fun.

“What’s the question exactly?” I ask, relishing the attention of all four of these guys surrounding me in the kitchen. How did I go from being invisible all my life to being so seen within a matter of minutes?

“I think Noah was wondering,” Enzo says, “if the fact that you’re a virgin means you don’t like sexual innuendos, jokes, you know… teasing?” When he says the last word there’s a lilt to his tone, and I know he wants to see if he can get a rise out of me.

“I might be a virgin,” I tell them. “But I’m not a prude. I saved myself for one reason and one reason only.”

Ethan narrows his eyes, watching me intently. “And what reason is that?”

“I was waiting for the right person. Saving myself for my soul mate.”

“The right person? Or the right persons,” Noah asks.

My eyes narrow. “Persons? I don’t follow.”

Mason frowns at his buddy, shaking his head softly. “Don’t, not now. She’s had a long day.”

“Don’t, what? I’m a big girl, I can handle anything,” I laugh, trying to catch on. “Okay, maybe not anything. I did need help tonight.”

“We want to help make you feel comfortable,” Ethan says. “As soon as the embassy opens tomorrow morning, we can head that way. And I told the police what happened. They’re gonna go over to the condo where you’ve been staying and try to get all of your personal effects back. And I got my lawyer on the phone too. He said that the best thing to do would be to charge him with a personal harm lawsuit when we get back to the States.”

I’m stunned with all this information, with how quickly Ethan moved on my behalf.

“Thank you, thank you so much, Ethan,” I say, wrapping my arms around him, unable to hold myself back. The fact that he made all those calls makes me feel so taken care of.
