Page 14 of Unwrapping Ember
“Of course I am,” I reply coyly, a rush of excitement flooding through me at the idea of spending the day with the three men I was never allowed to be alone with, still for reasons I don’t know to this day. “So, what do you have in mind?”
Exchanging quick looks between them, Everest leans in and whispers, “How about we spend some time in the hot tub with mimosas?”
I laugh, pleasantly surprised by the suggestion. “That actually sounds relaxing. I’m in.” I finish the last of my food, feeling full and lazy more than anything.
“Fuck yeah. We’ll finally get to see you in a bikini, right?” Everest flashes a cheeky smile, his gaze sliding down before returning to mine.
“Calm down there, killer,” Koda interjects, his voice carrying an edge of possessiveness. “That’s my baby sister you’re talking about; show some fucking respect.”
“Easy there, Koda. We’re just having fun.” Everest winks, and I feel a mix of flattery and confusion rise within me, igniting the blush that’s still spreading across my cheeks.
Baine stands and starts clearing the table, stopping beside me with a teasing look in his eye.
“What?” I ask, feeling a bit nervous under his watchful gaze.
“Nothing,” he replies, mischief dancing in his lustful eyes.
Suddenly, he leans down and captures my lips with a sweet and sensual kiss. I’m taken by surprise, yet I find myself kissing him back, stunned when we part.
"Wh...what was that for?” I ask, utterly flabbergasted, my heart racing.
He chuckles softly, raising an arm to reveal what’s in his hand. “Mistletoe.” He winks, reminding me of Koda's earlier antics.
“Wow, I didn't even notice that,” I admit, blushing once more.
“Subtle,” Koda mutters, rolling his eyes, a flash of jealousy evident in his gaze. Yet he manages a grin at me while I wipe my lips and stand from the table.
As I turn to leave, Everest wraps an arm around my waist, dangling the mistletoe above our heads. “Since it’s technically supposed to be hanging... kiss me, Ember,” he commands softly, his voice swelling with seduction and sending a delightful shiver down my spine.
Having kissed both Baine and Koda, I decide to lean into the playful atmosphere and rise on my toes to claim Everest’s lips. His kiss is hungry and fervent, his tongue dominating as it explores my mouth, leaving me breathless. Pulling away, I’m left speechless as I lick my lips, the tingling remnants of each kiss mixing in a haze of sensation.
“Well, that was...something,” I manage to say, backing away slightly, eager to collect myself under their intensity.
“Something indeed,” Koda quips with a playful smirk. “I think you’ve certainly made the nice list this year.” Everest chuckles and winks at me, while Baine shakes his head in amusement.
More like naughty... I think to myself, shocked that I so willingly kissed all three of them within twenty-four hours of being here.
As I navigate away from the mistletoe, I can’t help but feel the electric buzz between us. Taking a deep breath, I gather my composure, a newfound confidence coursing through me. With a mischievous grin, I turn back to the group and ask, “What’s next?”
Koda
I can't helpbut chuckle at Ember's infectious enthusiasm as I step closer to her. Twirling a lock of her lavender hair around my finger, I lower my gaze until it meets hers, flashing a grin that ignites a fire in her eyes. "So, what’s next?" I ask, echoing her earlier question.
She nods as if her words have suddenly fled her.
"Well, what’s next is you heading up to your room to put a bikini on for us... that is,if you want to," I reply, my tone firm yet playful, assuring her that this is all in good fun among consenting adults.
Everest and Baine stand beside me, and together we await her response. The air is charged with anticipation as Ember glances between us before finally nodding, a shy smile spreading across her face.
"Okay, I'll be right back," she murmurs, her voice soft and uncertain.
As she rushes off, Baine lets out a low whistle, casting me a knowing look. "You've really got her wrapped around your finger, don't you?" He teases, a smirk playing on his lips.
Everest chuckles and nudges me playfully. "Looks like we're in for a good time," he adds, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"She seems to be in a much better mood this morning," I remark.
"Well,wouldn’t you be if you woke up to three girls kissing you?" Baine laughs, shaking his head, his gaze still glued to the stairs, even though Ember is nowhere in sight.
