Chapter 70

“I don’t feel very strong right now.”

Anson brushed his lips across my temple. “You are.” He picked up my spoon and filled it with soup. “And to stay that way, you need to eat.” He blew on the broth and held it up to my lips.

I didn’t think I could force it down, not when there were so many unknowns swirling around us. But when the delicious soup touched my tongue, my stomach growled again. I took the spoon from Anson and kept eating. After downing the juice and the bread, I felt like a new person.

Knox smiled as he took the bowl from my lap. “Feel better?”

I nodded. “Thank you for all of that. It was amazing.”

“Anytime.”

Knox adjusted himself on the bed so he was even closer, his heat seeping into me. I had all my guys clustered around me. Vaughn at the foot of the bed, no longer,touching me, but close. Caspian had one of my legs in his lap. River continued to massage my other calf. Anson linked my fingers with his.

I’d never felt more at peace than I did in this moment. I had no idea what was to come, but I knew I wasn’t alone.

“Do you want to sleep?” River asked.

I shook my head. “Not yet.” I wanted to soak up this feeling, to store it in my muscle and sinew, so I’d never forget.

“Movie?” Caspian suggested.

“A movie sounds perfect.”

Anson straightened so that he could look down at me. “Please don’t make me watch some sappy sob–fest.”

Vaughn’s lips twitched. “Scared of shedding a few tears?”

“Nah, man. I just don’t want to become a human tissue.”

I shoved at his chest. “I’m not going to snot on you.”

“You say that now…”

“I think we need funny,” I cut Anson off before he could give me any more of a hard time.

“Funny sounds perfect,” Knox said, standing from the bed. He moved to the entertainment console and grabbed a remote.

As we bickered back and forth about what movie to watch, I couldn’t help but be struck by how normal this felt. Fear gripped my heart. This normal was so beautiful, one that I could so easily sink into. But what would I be left with if it all fell apart?

I tried to roll over but couldn’t move. For a moment, panic flickered through and then that scent of home hit my nose, I relaxed again. pushing back into Caspian’s hold. He nuzzled my neck, inhaling deeply. My arm was draped over River in front of me, my hand beneath his T–shirt.

Anson groaned from somewhere behind me. “How did I get the short end of the stick?”

“You got to sleep next to Ro last night,” Caspian answered.

Had that really been just last night? My blood heated at the reminder of coming alive under Anson and River‘ touches

River rolled over and pressed a quick kiss to my lips. “Morning.”

I put a hand in front of my mouth. “Morning.”

He grinned wider. “I don’t care about your morning breath.”

“Well, I do.”

Caspian pulled me tighter against him. “You two can go. Senna and I will go back to sleep.”

I glanced around the room. Knox and Vaughn were nowhere to be seen. The clock on the nightstand read 10:30, and I sat up. “I can’t believe we slept that late.”

River scooted off the bed and picked up a duffle by the door. “Cass went with Ridge and got your stuff yesterday. The

essentials are in here.”

I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood. “Thanks. I’m just going to…” I pointed to the bathroom.

River shooed me off. I shuffled into the bathroom, closing and locking the door. I made quick work of taking a shower and getting ready. My muscles were a bit stiff, but none of the pain remained.
