  About the Author

  Nova

  Sleep last night was terrible, but would do it all over again for Kento. He had been through so much. And helping him through those nightmares, being there and supporting him was worth feeling this tired. If I could make him feel, like he was not alone for just one minute, that he had someone he could count on to always be there when he woke screaming. I just…I worry but he is so strong. So lost but so beautiful. The guys were so good about it, they didn’t say anything and kept their distance from Kento. Even Noah who I know loves his sleep, didn’t complain once.

  Things were finally looking up and moving in the right direction. We knew where Eden was, or the next best thing. A man named Jeremy knew where Eden was.

  Packing up camp was silent and swift. Kento sat with me in the rear seat of the Jeep while the guys loaded it up with our gear. Ryker jumped into the driver’s seat while Noah took the front passenger.

  “Hey,” Colton hissed out. I turned to see him pointing at Noah as he finished loading up a few final items in the rear of the Jeep.

  “What?” Noah responded with a shit-eating grin. “I require the leg room.” He twisted and winked at me. I tried to hold in the giggles, but some escaped as I slapped my hand across my mouth. I turned wide eye to see if Colton had heard me.

  Colton just rolled his eyes and shook his head closing the rear door. There was a hint of a smile as he got in the backseat, followed by Ezra.

  “I guess I get Nova on my lap,” Colton teased Noah as he wrapped his fingers around my waist and, without any effort, placed me on his lap. I couldn’t stop myself; I let out a snort and giggled at the look on Noah’s face.

  I glanced over to Kento, who was bundled in a huge blanket and coiled up against the window, peering out at the pink sky of a fresh new day.

  The start of a new day, a new life for Kento, Ryker, Colton, Ezra, and Noah.

  And me. Nova.

  “I missed you,” I mumbled into Colton’s shaggy hair as I struggled to find his ear. I missed him so much—I missed them all. He chuckled as I pushed the dirty blond locks behind his ear and whispered, “I miss all of us.” I wiggled on his lap and he held my hips. I paused as he arched his eyebrow at me. I couldn’t help the smirk that appeared on my face.

  “You are a tease, sweetheart.” His eyes smiled, as a suggestive look swept through his eyes that made me want to taunt him further with my ass. But Kento was right next to us, and I didn’t want to make this awkward. So I sat still and watched Ezra as he scanned the area we were driving through.

  After an hour or so I decided a little kissing wasn’t rude to do in front of Kento. I was pretty sure he was asleep anyway. I pulled Colton close. He practically moaned as soon as our tongues met and danced. His hands wandered up under the back of my top to my bare skin, leaving a warm tingling sensation wherever he touched. I pressed into him; I needed to feel him against me. It seemed like forever since we had been together, but it had been only a few night ago. I just cant get enough of him, of all of them. I’m turning into a sex-crazed woman. He moaned again; this time louder.

  “Shhh...” I said as I pulled back and nodded my head toward Kento. I glanced to Ezra, he had a huge grin on his face.

  “You were just as loud Nova.” Ezra chuckled as he ran his thumb over my swollen bottom lip. My body leaned towards his as he moved in closer. Just as he cupped the back of my head a throat cleared in the front and Noah laughed while Ezra groaned at the interruption.

  “We need to find the next town and get some supplies. Especially water.” Ryker spoke from the front seat, not taking his eyes off the road.

  The roads weren’t as bad out here, but when we neared towns, the debris scattered around would create some issues. There was an abundance of trees we passed, various shades and all beautiful. I could see the sky beside us was black. Wait black? That didn’t look good.

  I leaned forward between the two front seats and peered up. I pointed to the left of us. “Is that a storm?” I asked, a little nervous. I hated storms. Lots of people died from storms since the solar flare, the weather had all been messed up creating super storms. Like the Red Plains… that was created from the storms after the flare.

  They all looked up to where I pointed and there was nothing but silence.

  “Fuck,” Ezra muttered under his breath.

  I agreed Fuck!

  “We better find some shelter to ride out this.” Colton called over me to Ryker. We all sat in silence as we drove, watching the storm which was approaching fast.Colton sounded worried.

  The first drop of rain hit the windshield in a large splat. The next one followed and before long the car was being hammered by a huge downpour.

  “Do you know if this is just regular rain or that metal-eating rain?” Noah asked no one in particular. I glanced around the Jeep at the guys, trying to work out from their faces if this was that bad rain. Hell, I have seen that metal eating rain. We are in a Jeep, that’s made of metal. My heart rate picked up at the memory as panic started to set in.

  “Noah, you’re frightening Nova. Shit, man. It’s just ordinary rain, sweetheart.” Colton said as he caressed my back, trying to get me to relax. Ezra smiled and held my hand.

  Ryker slowed the Jeep and stopped us just off from the road. “Just don’t get us stuck.” Ezra grunted as the Jeep swayed and bumped up over the uneven ground, I held onto Colton to try stop myself from falling onto Kento, who had woken up and was observing our surroundings. When he looked at me, I gave him a small smile.

  Ryker drove between some trees to hide the Jeep. He turned the engine off, and we all sat there and listened to the rain for a long time, the windows inside the car fogged up. We talked for a while, mainly Ryker and Colton as I listened to their deep voices. Never knew a voice could be so sexy and entrancing.

  I must have fallen asleep because it was Ezra�
��s chest I was cradled to when I opened my eyes. “Hey, sleepyhead,” he whispered as his lips caressed my forehead. My body was sore from the position I had been sleeping in, so I stretched as much as I could in the cramped space. I felt warm, and the humidity in the car was a little uncomfortable.

  “Did I sleep for long?” I peered up into his eyes, the pale blue one drawing my attention as always. NEX is such tragic thing, but it had left these beautiful little reminders that we were survivors. My white hair and Ezra’s eye. Not everyone wears their NEX scars like us. I nuzzled closer into his chest, not wanting to let go. But really needing a restroom break badly.

  “Probably only two hours. Colton said you were giving him a dead leg so I swapped with him, and you kept on sleeping.”

  Oh, wow I guess I needed it, to not notice being moved. But I had noticed the rain had stopped and that we were the only ones in the car. Even Kento wasn’t in here anymore.

  “Where are they all?” I asked, trying to look out the windows, which were still all fogged up. I wiped my hand over the window to see outside. I could see the tent had been set up and a small fire and what looked like a pot was over it.

  “They are around, looking for food, and Kento is in the tent. Ryker is close by watching out. And we are here. Just you and me.” He rubbed my back as I settled back into his arms again, relaxed and content.

  I suddenly realized what he had said. “Just you and me?” I turned and straddled his lap and he chuckled.

  “Yeah just you and me… In a Jeep… Alone… Well, as much as we can be.”

  I laughed and kissed him as hard and deep as I could. He let out a small chuckle but didn’t stop. My lips cured into a smile as he licked and teased my mouth. Ezra made me good… So good.

  I pulled away and caught my breath.

  “What is your favorite color?” I asked him. Ezra gave me a puzzled expression. I knew it was a random question to ask when you were in a make-out session, but I just thought about it and wanted to know.

  “Um…green?” he questioned.

  “I’m asking you. Is it green?”

  He smiled and nodded as he nipped my lower lip.

  “What type of green?”

  He thought for a minute. “The green grass on a football field.” His smile faltered slightly, and I kissed him. I didn’t want to make him thinking of unhappy memories. I just was curious what shade was all.

  “What’s yours, Nova?”

  And I didn’t have to think about it as I said. “Blue.”

  Ezra

  I had not been able to spend much time with Nova once we had gotten her back from those fucking asshole Raiders. And when the rain stopped, Colton said he needed to get out to take a piss. I’d told him to pass Nova to me. Even though she could have slept on the seat, I wanted her in my arms. He didn’t question it, he knew I needed to feel her. That she really was here with us, that this wasn’t a huge dream. The lump on the back of my head throbbed in reminder of how easily they had taken her.

  “Blue,” she had said; her favorite color was blue. I would have thought she would like more girly colors like pink or purple. But not my Nova—she liked blue.

  I smiled and skimmed her jawline with my thumb, brushing it over her bottom lip a few times. She poked her pink tongue out to meet my thumb. It had me hard in seconds, but I ignored my erection to speak to her. Well as best as I could.

  “Yeah, blue? What type of blue?” I quickly asked, before I got completely distracted by that tongue of hers. I wanted to pull her down the seat and...

  “Like a Blue Jay, but I love all the shades of blue, from the pale blue of your eye, to the dark blue night sky.” She smiled gently as she leaned in and placed a soft kiss to my eyelid. I held her tightly and hugged her. Worried she would vanish if I wasn’t holding her.

  “Okay, as much I want this just you and me in the Jeep, I really need to pee.” She laughed as she jumped up and opened the door to the cool moist air outside. She made a sound when the chill hit her skin and dashed out toward the tent.

  “Ryker,” she called out as I closed the door behind me. I re-adjusted myself, the small make-out session getting me a little too excited. Not that any of the guys would care if I walked around with a hard-on. It was hard not to when Nova was around. She was just the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and she picked me. I didn’t ever think I would get over the fact that she was real, and she was in love with me.

  I saw her dart behind some trees near the tent, so I went over to the small fire and crouched down to warm my hands. The fire needed more wood.

  “Ryker?” I called out. But there was no answer. “Kento?” I called out softer, and I heard him make a sound in the tent. Okay, so Kento was here, where the fuck was Ryker?

  My stomach dropped and I started to worry. “Nova?” I called over to where I’d last seen her.

  “Yeah?” she answered back cheerily. I sighed. Okay it was all in my head. Everything was fine. The Raiders were long behind us. They hadn’t followed us. We were all good. Ryker’s probably just getting more wood. She came bouncing back over to me and wrapped her arms around my shoulders, leaning over to kiss my cheek.

  “Let’s go to the Jeep.” She held her hand out for me, and I didn’t even have to think twice. I grabbed it and jumped up, practically running the short distance back to the Jeep and jumped into the back seat, closing the door behind me.

  She smiled at me with hooded eyes, as she laid herself down across the back seat. Sliding her legs beneath me.

  “I missed you so much,” I uttered as she pulled on the bottom of my shirt, bringing me closer so I could kiss her. I laid down on her and met her lips in a searing hot kiss.

  This was going to be too fast; I was so hard. My body rubbing against hers for friction to ease the need I had building. I tried to slow down but her hand dashed between us and into the waist band of my jeans. I arched myself up off her and with one hand supporting me I quickly popped off the button and lowered the zipper to give her more access.

  I hissed a few curse words when her fingers found my rock hard cock and wrapped tightly around. I bent down and peppered kissed over her jaw and neck. Reaching up I gathered her hair in my hand, which was free from the head wrap she had been wearing and now flowed all over the car seat.

  “Fuck,” I moaned into her mouth as I pumped myself slowly into her tight fist.

  “I want you in me now…” She moaned into my mouth as I used my fingers to tug on her nipple through her shirt. I pulled back and looked at her, her cheeks flush from warmth. Nova lifted her top up, exposing her perk nipples to me. I leaned in and caught one in my mouth, the other between my finger and thumb until she was whimpering.

  I helped her pull off her pants and noticed her underwear was black. I pulled back in surprise. Black underwear?

  She let out a small laugh at my expression, hooked her thumbs through the elastic and pulled them down and over her slim legs. “Ryker gave them to me yesterday.”

  I wanted to growl but I didn’t. Ryker had been good for Nova, but I wanted to be able to get her gifts. Especially underwear. They fit perfect too. Fucker.

  She reached for my cheek, which pulled me from my thoughts. I was glad, because I shouldn’t be thinking of Ryker when my cock was hard as a rock and Nova was beneath me begging me to fuck her. She pulled me down again and I went willingly. Wrapping her legs around my waist to keep me there. Her lips were on mine, and my cock rubbed through her wet folds. I reached down between us and rubbed long slow circles around her clit with my fingers. Her hips bucked up into my hand, but I didn’t reward her until she rasped out my name. My body strained with need to be inside her. I sped up, rubbing her fast and hard until she gasped as her orgasm took hold and she came shaking, her fingernails digging into my forearm as if she would drift off if she wasn’t anchored onto something.

  I didn’t give her a chance to come down from her orgasm as I slid into her wet hot center. A shudder worked its way up my spi
ne and my toes curled. Fuck, she feels so amazing.

  “I love you, Nova.” I panted into her hair as I drove into her slowly. Letting her ride out her orgasm. She looked up to me with a lazy but pleased smile and grabbed onto my shirt, which I had forgotten to take off, and my jeans were still around my waist. I chuckled.

  “This is going to smell like sex.” She dragged it up and looked to where we were joined. I glanced down and watched my cock now glistening with her arousal, slowly moving in and out of her body. She pushed the T-shirt over my head, my arms still encased, but it no longer hung between us. I kissed her deeply as I ground myself against her clit in circles, giving me a chance to slow the orgasm that was now so close, but I wanted her to come again with me inside her. I pulled back, she whispered, “fuck me…hard” and that’s all it took to lose control.

  I pounded into her fast, only lasting a minute before I growled out my release and I swore I saw stars. Her body clenched around me in her own release, intensifying everything. I felt like I had died and gone to heaven it was that good. She was amazing. That was the first time I had been alone with her, and it felt incredible.

  I all but collapsed on her, hugging her tightly to me as she ran her fingers up and down my back, alternating between the pads of her fingers and her nails.

  “I love you, Ezra,” she whispered in an almost dream-like state.
