Shattered Girl (Emmy)

Then I will just lock us away in my bedroom. The guys can handle anything that comes up, and they will bring us food when we need to recharge.”

I laughed so hard I thought I would pass out. “I dont think that will go over very well, either.” I just pictured the looks on the other guys‘ fa Patrick told them his plan.

Patrick grinned. “I don’t hear you say no, though. Love.”

1 never would; I like the idea as much as you

as you do,” I said.

Still smiling, Patrick took my hand and led me to the corner of the living room, where the reading chairs were. He sat down and pulled me into his lap, and we just talked, keeping everything light and playful. After a while, though, I grew quiet, and Patrick tilted my head to see my face.

“Are you doing okay, Love? It’s been a hard week,” he said gently. He then began playing with my hair, wrapping it around his finger and tugging gently.

has been,” I said.” And I still need to figure out what I have to do now that both my parents are gone, the guy’s dad is still missing, and all that other stuff going on. Part of me wants just to say fuck it and focus on us and our future, you know, something good and positive for a change.” I sighed, leaning further into his chest.

“Then do it. You know we will all be there for anything you want to do,”

“I know you guys are, but it makes me feel like I’m just hiding from the problems. I’m tired of running and hiding.”

Patrick wrapped his arms around me, kissing the top of my head. “You are one of the strangest, most self–reliant people I have ever known. We are building our own family, and we love you as much as you love us. The history with your parents and all the other baggage that goes with it, you can let it go now; we have you, I promise.”

I loved that he had so much faith in me, more than I could ever tell him. But still…..

“Talk to me, Love. I dont have magical knowledge to see what’s going on in that beautiful head of yours, but I’m here; if I can fix it, I will, but if you just need someone to listen, I can do that too.” He tugged gently on my hair again. “Tell me how I can help Love.”

“I want answers to things I will probably never know,” I said,

“Okay, let’s take it one question at a time. What do you want to know?”

“I want to know why my mother left my father. Why did she never come back for me or try to contact me? Do I have any other relatives somewhere? How much do I take after her?”

First of all, you are nothing like your mother. She was a selfish, money–hungry bitch, and you dont have a single selfish or greedy bone in that amazing body of yours, Patrick said, and I smiled at the firmness in his voice.

“I love you

“I love you too, he winked.”

“Do you want to try to find out if you have any other relatives out there?”

“I don’t know; I never wanted to know before, but now… A headache began to pulse behind my eyes because this was one of the biggest questions 1 had been thinking about.

“Did you not want to know, or are you afraid of being disappointed in what you find if you do look Love?”

I shifted in Patrick’s lap until I sat sideways and could look at him more easily.

“I have been thinking about my mom and stepfather. About the choices she made when she left me behind with my father. Why did she marry someone with children and was around them but never wanted me,” I reached out and caught Patrick’s fingers. I have been hating her for so long, ever since my father began hurting me. I want answers I will never get now.” He traced his free hand down my cheek before cupping my face.

“I get why you want to understand, which is why you are nothing li Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

like your mother. Love. You have a big

heart and are looking for something to forgive

Chapter 132

I made a face at him. “I don’t think I have a big heart.”

“I do,” Patrick snid as his smile grew. “That big heart of yours made room to love us all, it loves us even when we are being asses, and none of us ever

want that to change.

My face heated with a blush, and his smile softened.

“You showed us it was possible to love all of us. We don’t need to compete for your attention. You make sure each of us has the time we need with you. You are the one who brought us together as a family.” He turned me in his lap again, kissed my nose, and rested his forehead against mine.

“I’m trying to tell you not to be afraid to look for your answers. None of us want to see you hurt, so we will all be there for every step you take, and if you do find some relatives you never knew about and they ever do something to hurt you, well, you won’t have to worry about it because we will be there.” Then he was cupping my face again and kissing me, his lips so gentle it had me gasping. I teased his tongue with mine and ran my fingers through his hair as we tasted each other.

Though Patrick could have joined the others in their video game, we didn’t. He kept me cuddled in his lap, and we kissed and held each other. I had a feeling if we had more privacy, I would have been riding him already, but wile Patrick didn’t mind sharing me when we were all together in the bedroom. He was not into others just watching him..

I began to wonder what he would do if I surprised him by not wearing panties but just my sleep shorts one time. The idea made my core clench. I would have to find time to surprise each of them.

My life was so different now. I had five guys I loved, and here I was, thinking up ways to tease and drive them wild. I didn’t think it would be that hard; they loved teasing me, and Now, I was going to do the same to them.

“So, did the twins treat you well earlier?”

I almost fell out of his lap, but Patrick caught me and pulled me close to him.

“I’m not going to tell you that,” I croaked, heat rushing across my face.

Yes, you can,” He whispered, “You can tell me anything, Josh has been teaching me a few things.”

Yep, just kill me now, before I die of embarrassment. I think my face was actually on fire now; I was blushing so hard.

“And in case you were wondering,” He continued to whisper. “I can’t wait to try out

it what I have learned with you.”

Oh fuck.

I’m so paying him back for this. I would have to get right on it.

Pulling back to look into his eyes, I tilted

head and gave him my sweetest smile.

“Show me.

“Believe me, Love; I will show you everything.” He growled. Then I was in his arms, passing the guys on the couch. Ignoring their teasing, he carried me to his bedroom and locked the door behind us. He dropped me in the middle of his bed; then he stood above me all caveman–like before pulling me toward him to show me everything he learned.
