Chapter 10

The journey to my safe house on the edge of the Ruins was uneventful.

Years ago, I had commandeered the penthouse of what was once a plush building—a commercial head office turned residential. Though the properties had sat empty for a long time, even before the virus. The area hadn’t been the best. Near enough to hear the trains go by and the prominent student bar scene a few streets over.

No one had taken the penthouse for themselves. Without electricity, the journey to the top of the building was too labourous to do every day. But it worked as a safe house in a pinch.

The residents of the lower levels ran a generator for two hours every evening, and a single tap in the basement level was available so residents could collect clean water.

Which meant that a warm bath with clean water was in the cards as the guys and I settled into the top floor apartment and decompressed after a long day.

We had split up the rooms. Colt and Noah sharing one and Jace and Griffin on the other. I took the master, and we all agreed to crash and reconvene in the morning.

I was so exhausted that I expected to fall asleep ASAP. But, instead, my eyes flew open the second my head hit the pillow. The phantom press of Colt’s lips on mine echoed through my body as if I were an empty cavern desperate to be filled with Colt.

I rolled over and tried to sleep, but the darkness would not swallow me.

My thoughts were too loud.

Jace. Griffin. Colt. Noah. Their faces swam together in my mind. Four people in a relationship. Together.

I hadn’t let someone in since Gantz. Not into my heart.

Sex didn’t count. Sex worked for me in the same way that fighting was a physical release when I felt trapped and needed to remind myself of my strength. That I didn’t need to take a fist just because I loved the person delivering the punch. Sex was a reminder of my humanity. Something to stave off the loneliness.

But more often than not, hookups with strangers just carved the hole deeper.

Passion and lust. Harsh touches and rough fucking—knowing that you’ll never see the person the next day? That there was nothing special enough about you to demand that they stop and take notice.

To make someone want you for more than a night?

To have four men working together to make you happy. Being wanted enough by four different people, not just for a night, but for a relationship. An exclusive commitment between a team.

I had always thought that I was monogamous. If I was with a partner, I was with them and no one else.

But the idea of my guys, each one a different facet of a bigger team, each one so different to each other, coming together and being mine?

I couldn’t deny that a previously squashed down part of me flared to life.

A dirty, selfish, and lonely part of me wanted all four of them. Colt, Griffin, Jace, and Noah.
