“So much for a low sex drive, fluff.”
“Mmm-hmm, I think we blew that theory to hell and gone.”
They drifted for a time while James got rid of the condom and cleaned up. They’d given in when she’d asked them to wear condoms for anal sex, simply because that was the way she wanted it.
Vincent brushed her hair from her damp cheek and tucked it behind her ear and then slid a hand beneath his head. He drew in a deep sigh and she lifted her head from his furry chest to look up at him. His gaze was on the flickering flame of the candle on the bedside table before he turned his focus on her and smiled. He cupped the back of her head as he kissed her.
James came back to the bed and cleaned her up, removing the lubricant and easing any soreness with the soothing heat before putting the washcloth back in the bathroom. He lay down alongside Vincent, facing her, and stroked her hot cheek before sliding his hand down her back to her hip.
She looked from Vincent to James, with so much in her heart she needed to say but unsure how. James smiled and kissed her as he cupped her butt cheek and squeezed, and then looked at Vincent.
Each of them had suffered long enough with a broken heart. James and Vincent, because they’d lost their brother, someone who knew them better than anyone else. And her, because she’d never know the fullness of loving Patterson. But he was still in her heart, and he did live on in the lives of so many others.
James and Vincent had taken her broken heart and filled in the missing pieces. No words were needed. They held on to each other and reveled in being whole again.
