He Holds Me–1
I stand in front of the counter in my pajamas. I watch the coffee as it pours down, almost ready.
It’s Saturday morning and I look forward to spending the day with all three of my guys today. Those are my favorite. I turn to watch the light through the blinds. Aiden is probably still dead asleep from how much we did last night.
A smile spreads across my cheeks as I think about it.
The smell of coffee gets stronger and I inhale, enjoying the rare moment of stillness.
Just as the coffee finishes brewing, a pair of strong arms wrap around me from behind. I hold on to his forearms, immediately recognizing him. Jake’s lips brush against my neck in a lazy, affectionate kiss.
“Good morning, baby,” he murmurs, his voice still thick with sleep.
A smile tugs at my lips as I lean into him, resting my weight against his chest. “Good morning.”
I hum as his tongue moves down my neck. He lowers the collar of my shirt down my shoulder and bites down softly on my skin. I jolt, giggling. “Jake.”
His hold around my waist tightens slightly as he rests his chin on my shoulder. “I’ve missed you.”
I turn my head slightly, brushing my lips against his. “I haven’t seen you in a few days. How’s work been?”
Jake sighs but smiles. “Things are finally looking up. I think I’ve finally convinced the board to settle.”
I tilt my head, relieved and genuinely happy for him. “Oh, that’s great. That’s what you wanted, right?”
He nods, pressing another kiss to my shoulder. “I just want this to be over. I want to be home with you.”

He Holds Me–1
Before I can respond, Aiden walks into the kitchen, his hair a complete mess, eyes still laced with sleep. I hold in my chuckle. “Isn’t this a bit early for you?” I tease.
Jake’s chest vibrates with his own laugh. “I’ve never known you to wake up before ten on
a weekend.”
Aiden rolls his eyes, but he clearly enjoys the teasing. He grins when his gaze finds mine, stepping forward and cupping my face as he presses a soft kiss to my lips, completely unbothered by the fact that Jake still has his arms around me.
“Morning, babe,” he says. “I had fun last night.”
I blush profusely, too aware of Jake at my back. “Me too.”
Jake lets out a low chuckle behind me, his lips finding my neck again. My body responds
to having both of their attention, wetness pooling between my legs.
But before I can do anything about that, it’s Zaid who enters the kitchen. Jake’s body tenses immediately, his arms dropping from my waist as he takes a step back to dig
through the fridge.
Zaid’s eyes flick to Jake, something unreadable passing through them before he turns his attention to me. I force myself to stay relaxed, telling myself that they just need time.
They’ll work through whatever’s between them. They have to.
He leans in, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing me until I’m dizzy. My legs turn to jelly and god, these men are going to kill me.
“Hi, love.”
I smile at him, suddenly unable to speak.
He smirks, reaching around me. He serves me my coffee, adding just the right amount of sugar and milk. I smile in thanks as he hands it to me, his fingers brushing mine briefly.
Aiden leans against the island. “Valentine’s Day is in a couple of weeks. We should probably start planning how we’re splitting that up.”
Jake says something, but I don’t hear it.
Valentine’s Day. The words hit me like a freight train.

He Holds Me–1
My grip tightens around the coffee mug, my heart pounding in my chest.
Blood rushes to my ears, drowning out the casual banter between Aiden and Jake as they immediately start arguing about who gets me for the day.
Valentine’s Day.
The day my world shattered.
Subconsciously, my fingers drift to my wrist, tracing the faint scar there.
