I’ve always been a leader, it always came naturally to me and within our group they let me take charge. I made sure we were all ok, physically and mentally. To see Jane happy made me feel at ease. I worried about her and how she was coping. It was amazing to see how far she had come. She still had healing to do, but she was making such good progress. I had seen guys with survivor’s guilt that let it consume them.

Jane looked at me, and gave me a flirty smile. Taking her hand off Cal, I pulled her towards me, swaying slightly. I was usually ok with sharing, but since I was the only one who hadn’t had sex with her, I was feeling more and more possessive. I was also feeling left out and wanting to pout like a child, but I kept my cool. The anticipation was the best part, but it was starting to feel like it was too much. I wanted to throw her over my shoulder and go fuck her on the side of the house. She’d go for it, right?

“I missed you guys,” Jane said, against my lips.

“Missed you too, baby,” I said, kissing her slowly, savoring the small nips and sucks she was giving me.

She pulled away, leaning her forehead on my lips. “You know why I like this song?” she asked.

“No, why?”

“It reminds me of new beginnings. I like this bubble we’ve made with just us and I feel a little like my old self, but better. Someone new who…” she didn’t finish her sentence.

“Is stronger?” I suggested. “Beautiful, loving, compassionate, sexy, smart, and selfless?”

“Is that what you see?” Her amazing hazel eyes looked unsure.

“That and so much more, Jane.” I kissed her again with everything I had to give. I wanted her to feel beautiful, sexy and loved… Loved? Before I could panic, Nathan whisked Jane away, and she laughed, looking so carefree.

“Alright, let’s get this shit done so we can have some fun.” I looked at Jane, hoping she could see the hunger in my eyes.

She bit her lip as she said something to Nathan. God, I hope it was to hurry because I was ready to feast on her.

A few hours later, we got through most of the crap we had to build. It was more complicated than I expected, but we got through it. It was hard to concentrate with Jane, each of us kissing her whenever she got close enough. I was getting impatient, so I sat her down on one table, making out with her until she was panting and squirming.

“Uh… guys.”

I ignored whoever it was, grabbing a handful of Jane’s breast under her shirt.

“Aiden.” Cal’s urgent voice reached my sex-crazed brain.

“What?” I growled, annoyed.
