Home (Finding My Home Book 1)

by Nikita Parmenter

  Seeing them like this, it’s easy to remember that they all grew up together and were friends at school. It sort of gives me some hope that me and the guys will make it past the end of high school, although the thought of them with wives makes my heart constrict painfully.

  “I’d escape quickly if I were you, if you’re still here once they’ve gotten into the wine you won’t ever be leaving” Rob chuckles.

  The guys quickly herd me out the door, Rylie and Darcy on our heels.

  “Holy fuck, you guys got a limo?” I ask pausing on the front steps. The guys had blocked out my view of it before and besides that I was far too distracted by them in suits to notice anyway.

  “Got to be perfect for your first dance, Sunshine” Riot grins, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the limo.

  “We need to hurry up, I’ve seen mom and Aunt Jenny when they’ve had wine, we want to leave now or get ready to answer some seriously invasive questions as they over share” Cash chuckles as he shudders.

  We all get into the limo and I end up between Luc and Riot, Luc’s hand grasps mine and Riot’s hand is high on my thigh causing a low burn to start in my stomach. Darcy watches us curiously, but I see no judgement in her gaze so points to her for that.

  “Ever” Jensen says suddenly, and I turn to where he was sitting.

  I jump slightly when I realise he is literally centimetres away from me, not expecting him to be that close. He grins, mirth shining in his eyes as his lips crash down on mine, this isn’t a soft and sensual kiss, this kiss is needy and dirty and I fucking love it. He explores my mouth making my toes curl and heat pool in my belly. Fucking hell I love it when Jensen kisses me like this.

  “What was that for?” I gasp when he pulls back finally.

  “You are fucking stunning” he grins. He’s not quite as unaffected as he’s portraying, his chest is still heaving, desire burning in his eyes. I get a certain amount of satisfaction knowing that I affect him as much as he does me.

  “You’re not so bad yourself” I smirk, allowing my eyes to run over him.

  I reach forward, unable to curb the desire to touch him and run my hand down his chest slowly, loving when he inhales sharply as I deliberately run my nails over his nipple. Remembering where we are and that it’s not just me and the guys but Darcy and Rylie too, I pull my hand back and grin as Jensen makes a sound of protest.

  The guys chuckle.

  I glance around the limo at them, their reaction still hasn’t changed. None of them seem jealous or angry and they’re all still joking and laughing with each other. My eyes land on Darcy and Rylie. Rylie is grinning like she knows something I don’t, I’ll have to grill her about that later. My eyes cautiously switch to Darcy, she’s seen two of the guys kiss me fairly soon after another one of them now. I can only imagine what she thinks.

  “Lucky bitch” she mouths at me smirking.

  I instantly crack up laughing, earning the attention of all the guys, Trick raises his eyebrow at me, but I just shake my head still chuckling. Rylie definitely picked a keeper with Darcy. The driver must have taken a longer route to take us to the dance, presumably to let us enjoy being in the limo, because we are only just pulling up to the school. We’re at least forty minutes late thanks to the whole stalker incident and all the photo’s Jenny and Kat wanted to take but we aren’t the only ones just arriving so we can’t have missed much.

  Fashionably late, that’s a thing, right?

  Stepping out of the limo I shiver, wishing I had thought to bring my coat. It was a bit of a stupid move on my part to leave it behind. Before I can start shivering in earnest Rafe’s arm comes around my shoulder and Riot’s arm comes around my waist. I don’t miss the way he deliberately brushes his arm against Rafe’s side, I’m instantly warmer and I smirk at Riot. My gaze slowly runs the length of Rafe before I turn to Riot seeing him do the same, I grin up at Riot.

  “Our Rafe is fucking gorgeous, isn’t he?”

  “Yes, he fucking is” Riot growls his eyes heated as they travel over me and Rafe. He looks momentarily panicked that he agreed out loud but before he can back away or try to take back his words, Rafe reacts.

  Rafe looks momentarily stunned before a devilish smirk adorns his features, he glances around, noting that the lot is empty of everyone apart from our guys, even Rylie and Darcy have gone in and his smirk widens.

  “Oh yeah?” he lets go of me giving me a quick kiss on my cheek as he passes to stand right in front of Riot.

  I step back a wide grin on my face whilst I watch in amusement. I’m not going lie, the sexual tension between them is so fucking strong that this is turning me the fuck on.

  “What are you going to do about it?” Rafe challenges as he leans down getting less than a hairs breadth away from Riot’s lips. Smirking as he thinks Riot won’t rise to the challenge.

  “This” Riot growls, shocking the shit out of Rafe and me as he slams his lips against Rafe’s. Their kiss is hot as fuck as they battle for dominance. Riot’s hands weave into Rafe’s hair as one of Rafe’s hands gently cups Riot’s cheek, the other one wrapping around his waist and tugging him closer. I turn away from them and walk over to the guys, giving Rafe and Riot some privacy. They all have shit eating grins on their faces as they glance over at them.

  “I take it we have you to thank for finally getting them to admit it?” Jensen grins as he throws his arm over my shoulder, my arm threads around his waist.

  “Yep” I grin happily, trying really hard to push my horny as fuck side down, now is not the time to think about all the fun threesomes you could have.

  The horny bitch inside me argues back vehemently that it is always a good time to be thinking about threesomes, she has a point.

  “Thank fuck” Trick chuckles and I glance at him curiously.

  “The sexual tension between those two was beginning to get unbearable even before you came back” Cash answers for Trick, grinning.

  I giggle, “glad to be of service” I curtsey, and the guys laugh.

  A sudden thought occurs to me and I make sure to keep my grin plastered to my face. Now they’ve got each other, does that mean they won’t carry on doing the things they have been doing with me? I vehemently push the thought away, don’t be so fucking selfish Everleigh. I scold myself utterly pissed at the thought, they have liked each other forever and I should be happy for them, which I am, I’m over the moon for them.

  I know what they’ve both had to overcome, Riot especially and this is a massive step for them, but a small tiny part of me that is larger than I will ever admit, breaks slightly at the thought of losing them that way even though I have no right to feel that way. I push the thoughts into a dark corner of my mind adding it to the deal with later pile, tonight is about fun only.

  “Why are you curtseying, Baby?” Rafe asks from behind me and I spin round letting go of Jensen, my grin turns genuine as my eyes land on their joined hands.

  “No reason” I smirk, shrugging as the others start chuckling behind me.

  “Come here Sunshine” Riot asks as his eyes study my features, seeing far more than he should, like always.

  I hesitate and they both reach forward, still holding hands and pull me towards them, their arms wrap around my back, my hands land one on each of their chests.

  “Ever?” Rafe asks and I turn my head towards him.

  He lowers his lips to mine and kisses me, his tongue tangling with mine in a slow and sensual kiss, he so loves to give me. As soon as his lips leave mine, Riot’s take their place as Rafe kisses my neck gently. They both pull back and look at me with wide smiles on their faces.

  “Thank you, Sunshine. We know you were playing matchmaker” Riot smirks raising his eyebrow and I grin not even trying to deny it.

  I just want my guys happy. Even if it turns out that it won’t be with me.

  “Don’t think that means we’re done with you though, Baby” Rafe growls. “We’ve got lots of plans for you.”

  My insides heat and m
y clit throbs with need, holy fuck, say what now? I think I need a detailed description of what these plans are. Better yet a show and tell, I need them to demonstrate exactly what they have planned for me.

  “Guys seriously!?” Jensen groans. “We all have to go into the dance right now and I don’t particularly want to walk into that nest of vultures sporting a hard on. Can we talk to Ever about all the things we’d love to do to her after this, you know somewhere preferably more private where we can act it out for her” Jensen’s desire filled gaze runs down my body and Trick smacks him on the back of the head.

  Meanwhile my panties are soaked, and my dirty mind is running through different scenarios at a rapid pace. Oh, my fucking god. Jensen’s words are no doubt going to play on repeat for most of the night and I have no doubt that I’m going to end up taking care of the building ache between my thighs later on.

  “What was that for? You fucking agree!” Jensen grumbles as he rubs the back of his head and watches me with a hooded look like he can read every dirty thought flying through my mind right now, further proven as he winks at me then smirks.

  “I’ve got to agree with Jensen here, Trick” Cash chuckles and Luc, Riot and Rafe nod in agreement.

  “I know but I hadn’t done it in a while” Trick shrugs and Jensen stares at him indignantly as we all burst out laughing.

  The tension dissipates mostly although there’s still an undercurrent of it. It’s probably a good job that I’m on my period right now because if I wasn’t I’m not entirely sure I could stop myself from telling them, fuck the dance, let’s go find somewhere private and you guys can show me what you have in mind. Maybe throw in a few of my own ideas too.

  Shit, Ever. That line of thinking is so not helping you get your horny bitch side under control. I slap the bitch down. Dance, Everleigh we are here to go to the dance.

  Fuck, how is my no sex rule even going to last until the end of our cabin trip, if I already want to break it and it’s only day two?

  “Ok guys this has been fun and let’s face it hot as fuck, but I am literally going to freeze my tits off, are we planning on going in anytime soon, I really want to dance with you all.”

  Simultaneously all of their eye’s dip to my chest and the deep ‘v’ neckline that stops just before my bellybutton. Jensen darts forward and licks straight up from the bottom of the ‘v’ and up to my neck where he nips me.

  “Son of a bitch” I curse, as my nerve endings my fire and I bite back a moan.

  “Come on, what’re you waiting for?” Jensen asks innocently as he grabs my hand and tugs me towards the school gym where the dance is being held.

  “Paybacks a bitch Jensen” I warn dropping my voice seductively.

  Trick chuckles behind me as his hand smacks my ass making heat flood my core and my panties damp. For fuck sake these guys are going to be hell on my new underwear collection if they carry on this shit.

  I look over my shoulder at him as Jensen leads me by the hand into the gym, my eyes promise retribution, but he simply grins, his eyes lighting with challenge. This is going to be fun. As soon as we all step through the door together, me in the middle and the guys spread out around me, all eyes turn to us. Jensen doesn’t pause in his trajectory though as he pulls me straight towards the dance floor, the guys dispersing behind us. He pulls me right into the middle of the dancers and spins me in a wide circle before pulling me close one leg going between mine as my hands thread behind his neck and his hands land just above my ass. Jensen can dance really well, but after seeing him fight I’m hardly surprised. What does surprise me though is that he is still so clumsy.

  “How come you can dance so fucking well and fight like you’ve trained to fight your entire life and yet you still trip up the stairs?” I ask.

  “I have no idea” his cheeks darken in a blush that’s adorable.

  “It’s cute. I love all sides to you Jensen” I admit and then try not tense.

  Oh fuck, love? I just had to use the fucking word love didn’t I! What an idiot. I get prepared to do damage control, but Jensen just smirks his grip tightening on me and his eyes lighting with emotion before I can identify it though, he’s spinning me outwards and I land in Trick’s arms with an elegant ompff.

  “So, fucking graceful” I scold myself under my breath.

  I must not have said it quietly enough though because Trick chuckles as he pulls me close, instantly taking control. That’s something I’ve learnt about Trick since I’ve been back. He loves control but not in an overbearing way, he doesn’t try to dictate my decisions or where I go, even though I could tell that when I wanted to go to the mall with Rylie he wanted me to stay with them where I was safest. Basically, he’s not a dick about it. It’s hot and my body heats as I think about the ways that his need for control could transfer over to the bedroom. I honestly never thought I would find the idea of letting a man take control in the bedroom hot but if my bodies reaction is any indication, I really do. Although it probably has more to do with the fact that it would be Trick that was in control.

  “What are you grinning at?” Trick asks me as we move around the dance floor, ignoring the glares shooting our way.

  “Dirty, filthy things” I say huskily deciding to get a little bit of payback for the ass slapping incident, that I loved by the way.

  What the hell, I may as well own it.

  Trick’s eyes widen in shock before he pulls me closer groaning as he nips my ear, “Oh, and what sorts of things were you thinking?” his husky voice sends a shiver of pleasure through me and I feel his lips tilt into a smirk against my neck.

  “I’ve noticed you like to be in control, and I was just thinking of all the delicious ways that could transfer over into a more private setting” I reply quietly not wanting the surrounding dancers to hear this conversation.

  Trick freezes and I worry that I’ve crossed a line but before I can apologise his grip tightens on me and he tugs me closer groaning quietly.

  “You’d like that?” he questions, leaning back and studying my face, “you’d like it if I pinned your arms above your head and told you that if you moved them you’d be punished” I gasp as I clench my thighs together, he grins wickedly. “if I took you to the edge over and over again but didn’t let you fall until I decided?” he studies my heaving breaths and desire filled expression, I’m not trying to hide it from him I want him to know how much it turns me on.

  “Well isn’t that interesting” he smirks his eyes blazing with desire.

  I wink at him before something over his shoulder catches my attention, a dark haired girl I usually see hanging around Selena is talking to Cash, it wouldn’t bother me except Cash looks like he’s getting more and more frustrated with her and keeps shaking his head. The girl reaches out to grab Cash’s hand and tries to pull him towards the dance the floor.

  “Excuse me, I’m going to play smack a bitch” I grin widely and Trick chuckles his eyes moving towards Cash.

  “Go save him, some of the other guys are having problems with girls asking them to dance and then not accepting it when we tell them we’re here with you. Riot’s been asked by the same girl twice.” He says agitated.

  “Why do I have a feeling that this has something to do with Selena?” I ask tiredly.

  “Because it most likely does” he shrugs.

  I give him a quick kiss on the cheek and then start to push my way through the crowd of dancers to get to Cash. He sees me coming and panic fills his eyes, I frown not understanding.

  “Il mio Cuore, it’s not what it looks like. She wouldn’t let go of me and I couldn’t make her without hurting her, I don’t hurt women” he practically begs me to understand.

  “I know, I watched it play out” I reassure him and his face crumples with relief, my gaze turns hard as it lands on the girl. “Get your fucking hands off my date” I growl, the brunette’s eyes widen slightly before defiance straightens her posture.

  “He’s not your date, everyone saw you dancing with Trick an
d Jensen you can’t have them all” she sneers her voice grating against my nerves.

  “Actually, I really can. They all asked me, I said yes to all of them, simple as that. Now let him the fuck go or I’m going to play my favourite game of smack a bitch” I step closer to her, “I have absolutely no issues with being kicked out of, here do you?” I look at her disgusted, “I don’t care who you are male or female you never put your hands on someone without their permission and you clearly don’t have his permission. Let the fuck go” I warn her.

  She immediately let’s go, her eyes wide with fear and I’m pleased to see shame too as she realises what she was doing is wrong and how it would be perceived if it was the other way around. If it was a guy that was trying to pull a girl who had already said no onto the dance floor.

  The double standard infuriates me in the least.

  She backs off before spinning on her heel and quickly rushing away, I watch her leave angrily. My anger immediately dissipates as Cash’s arms wrap around me.

  “Thanks for rescuing me, il mio cuore” he says as he kisses my neck. “Would you like to dance with me?”

  “Absolutely.”

  It seems all my guys are good dancers and I end up dancing in between Cash and Luc for a couple of songs, we get a lot of attention from the surrounding people, but I adamantly ignore it. This is my first dance and I will enjoy it, damn it. My nerves are getting fried though, each of the guys has been asked to dance or been hit on at least twice and none of those girls are taking no for an answer without some serious convincing. My guys have stopped being polite now and are pretty much just telling them to fuck off.

  “Mind if we cut in?” Riot asks quietly from behind.

  “Sure, thing brother” Luc grins.

  Cash leans forward from behind me and kisses me on the cheek as Luc leans forward and kisses my other cheek at the same time. They both step back and Riot and Rafe take their places, grinning at Cash and Luc. Someone says slut unsuccessfully using a cough to mask the word, idiots.
