I’ll Say Them–1
I spend the next hour in the kitchen, putting away the groceries we bought earlier in the day. The guys are in and out of the cabin, grabbing the things from the car and placing them in their appropriate rooms and spaces.
I smile to myself as I place the things in the pantry.
The inside of the cabin feels so much more homey than the outside. It’s warm with wooden beams and naturally colored wood furniture. There are no photos up, just like
there aren’t any in the house.
It makes me wonder about the memories Zaid has in this place and if there are any
indications of them besides the reminders he has in his head.
I sigh, walking around the kitchen island to stand in front of the large windows that look
out into the snow–covered forest outside.
It’s freezing, but it looks like a fairytale out there. It stopped snowing a bit ago, so now
it’s the softness that I look at. I want to throw myself into it.
I walk out of the kitchen and head into the living room. I run my fingers over the back of
the couch as I take it all in, my eyes landing on the fireplace, where Jake has already lit a
fire.
The flames flicker, and my stomach coils at the sight. It’s perfect. I can picture myself
sitting at the end of the day with a book in one hand and a hot chocolate in the other.
I turn to the guys as they walk in from the snow. They stomp their feet on the mat inside
and shake off their coats and boots. Aiden has a handful of firewood in his hands and he
carries them to the fireplace, setting them for when we need them later.
Jake walks over to me, pressing a kiss to the crown of my head. “What should we make for
dinner?”
I sigh, thinking of the dinner list we made when we went grocery shopping. “That sausage soup you talked about sounds good.”
He hums.

Dil Say Them!
Aiden grunts as he sets the last piece of wood down. “Yeah, something warm sounds really good.”
Zaid is standing on the other side of the living room and he just shrugs. “I’m good with anything.”
Jake nods then. “I’ll get started on that.”
I run my hands down my arms. “I think I’m going to head up and take a shower.”
As soon as the words leave my mouth, the three of them freeze, staring at me like I just suggested something scandalous.
I blink. “What?”
Aiden smiles, rubbing his hand down his neck. “Um, you want to do that by yourself?”
The three of them exchange glances. Oh. They’re waiting for me to ask one of them to join me.
A blush creeps up my neck, and I bite my lip, suddenly very aware of the weight of their gazes and the obvious look of their need. Looks like the desperate fucks against the trees weren’t enough for them, either.
I really want to invite the three of them. But, that’s a lot, and we’re not quite there yet.
I take a slow step forward, walking up to Jake first. He watches me carefully, his hands already reaching for my waist as I rise onto my toes and press a kiss to his lips. He exhales against me, his grip tightening slightly before he deepens it.
He presses his body against mine and I feel his erection between us.
I pull away, noticing the discomfort in his face.
Then I walk to Aiden. He’s smirking, like he already knows what I’m doing, but his amusement fades the moment I kiss him. He cups the back of my neck, tilting my head to deepen it before I pull away, breathless.
Finally, I turn to Zaid. He’s already watching me, eyes dark, waiting. My heart beats faster as I step in front of him, tilting my head up to kiss him. His lips move against mine, slow, and warmth spreads through me.

He doesn’t deepen the kiss, and neither do I.
We just kiss.
And without breaking it, I slide my hand into his, fingers threading together as I tug him gently toward the hallway.
His grip tightens, his breath hitching, but he follows without hesitation.
Behind us, Aiden whistles low.
Jake says nothing.
“You know you didn’t have to choose anyone. You could’ve gone alone,” Zaid whispers against my back as he follows me.
I smile to myself, not bothering to turn to him. “I chose you because I want you.”
