Chapter 9

A Meeting of the Minds

WE’D officially taken up residence in the third cabin. Diana slept on the bed and I sat on the floor, surrounded by my four guys, listening to the sounds outside. It was cold but I wouldn’t let them light a fire. Even if Wes could manage to hack every piece of technology that came our way, I wouldn’t risk it. We’d all have to just be a little cold.

“I’m not worried about Nolan.” Wes sat to my left and rubbed at my back, figure eights if I was feeling them correctly. “The man could survive days in the woods by himself. The fact that it’s nighttime and there’s no sign of Dane is somewhat concerning to me.”

Geoff shook his head from where he lounged to my right. “Not me. Dane is remarkably capable. If he’s not here yet, there’s a very good reason for it. He’ll get here when he gets here.” He yawned before he pressed his forehead against my shoulder. “Diana’s okay up there, right?”

I looked toward where she rested on the bed, her eyes closed in deep sleep. One of her legs poked out from under the covers.

“She’s fine.” I looked back to see all four sets of eyes staring at her. The tenderness radiating off them made me warm inside. “When she was first born, and we were running for our lives, I should have been sleeping every time she did. But for maybe the first three weeks or so I’d stare at her when she slept, counting her breaths. In, out. Eventually, I had to pull it together. I couldn’t keep her alive if I was a zombie.”

Geoff rubbed his forehead on the side of my arm, breathing deeply. I knew he wanted to be close, to reconnect like I’d done with Cooper and C.J., but this wasn’t the place for it, and like C.J. had to wait a night, he and Wes had to as well. It was frustrating. Being physical with C.J. and Cooper had been good for me, too.

I felt…steadier.

“I wish I had been there to help you.” Geoff closed his eyes. “We could have watched her together.”

“Six other people to keep her and you steady. That’s how it should have been.” Cooper sighed loudly from where he leaned against the wall. “I was never enamored with the idea of sharing you. Maybe I even thought sometimes that if I held on long enough, I’d be the last man standing with you. Don’t blame me. I was raised to believe I’d have a wife all to myself. That being said, I never would have dared even suggest such a thing or act on it. Especially after having spent the last eight years with these guys—and even forgiving them for thinking I screwed them over when I love them like brothers—none of them were going to give up on your love, either. Ever. If things could have been as they should have been, Diana would have had nothing but love and protection from the time she came into the universe.
