Light Gathers Darkness | 18+

38.

"We've gotta leave now, actually," I smile.

Due to some nice conversations, Mom eventually eased into the three. She laughs at their jokes, which are every funny, and smiles the whole time.

Dad is grinning with Ash and Dominic, having inside jokes all the time with Asher. Easton is charming Mom, which he is very good at. I appreciate the effort they're putting into this.

My three men stand up at the sentence, like well trained puppies. They say their goodbyes to Mom and Dad, since Alexander left about twenty minutes ago. He wasn't too happy with this, but it's not his life.

Ash and Dominic had excused themselves before joining us, smirking as they entered my room. I haven't seen what they chose yet, but I don't think I'll do it here.

Knowing them, it's probably revealing as fuck, and pulling it out of the bag they put it in in front of my parents isn't a thing I want to do.

"Oh, we'll take off too," Mom smiles and stands up, gathering their jackets. Dad shakes hands with all three of my boyfriends, while Mom pulls them in for a hug. I look away, hiding my annoyed face. Must be awkward for them.

We leave together, but where they go right to walk home, we step into the car. Mom waves happily at us when we drive by, and Easton waves back from behind his steering wheel.

I let out a sigh. "Well, that was awkward."

Ash gives me a shrug. "It was fine. Except for your brother being an absolute asshole, I think it went pretty well."

Easton nods, easily driving us to their house. "I agree. And your mom loves me, so you have competition."

I pat his head. "You're a mama's boy, aren't you?"

He grins at me, playful. "Your mama's boy, yes." He doesn't go any further into the subject, dismissing it without a sign or word.

I've come to know their parents are a sensitive subject. That's why I don't push it.

We arrive at the immense mansion. I hop out, not caring to wait until they open the door of the car for me. Dominic was heading to do it, but I just take his hand in mine and drag him along instead.

They don't have to act like I'm a fragile rose, crumbling under a touch. I can handle some tough cookies.

We walk inside, the darkness of the night engulfing us. I've come to notice they believe they're darkness themselves too, without any light in them.

I don't believe that.

I believe everyone has a little light in them. No one is complete darkness or light, although they seem to think that.

We get in the house, and that's where Dominic untangles from me. He wraps his arm around my waist, though, and kisses my temple.

"Go get yourself in comfortable clothes, kitten. We're not going out tonight. In fact, we might get into bed early."

He gives me a sweet wink. I smile back at him and take the bag of clothes before I run upstairs. They've changed the guest room a bit and put shirts of them in the drawers, along with underwear and some things for in the bathroom.

So I'm guessing this is turning my room now. Although I almost always end up in one of their beds, but alright. 

I open the bag and throw the clothing on bed. My eyes scan the outfit Dominic chose. He didn't choose a dress—which I'm really thankful for, since it's work tomorrow. Dresses are fine to go out, but not to work in.

Instead, he's chosen black leather pants and a slightly see through top. But it's still fine, since I'm wearing an apron at work.

It fits together, making me smile. He's got feeling for fashion. I didn't expect that, but I'm not disappointed either.

When I look at what Ash chose...

Of course he chose the most revealing bra set. The bra matches the undies, all baby blue. 

I grimace. I don't think he realizes I don't sleep with a bra. It makes me feel itchy and uncomfortable, so I sleep without.

Oh well. 

I undress in my own bathroom—I didn't know I had one until now, and I'm starting to question Nicky. Because this bathroom has been here the whole time, so why did I have to shower in his?

I smirk. Sneaky guy.

I put a shirt from the drawer over my naked skin. It doesn't help much, only reaches to my thighs, but at least I'm not buck naked anymore.

Descending the stairs, I hear TV noises. Guess it's going to be a comfortable night.

And yes, when I reach the living room, two out of three are watching TV. Easton and Dominic snap their attention to me, inviting me to sit in between them.

But as I head over to them, I'm being picked up. I squeal surprised. Ash turns me around, still in his arms.

"Hi, butterfly. Why are you not wearing what I chose?" he pouts, playing upset. I lift the hem of the shirt, showing the undies he chose. He smiles, satisfied.

He sits down, keeping me on his lap. I shift a little, trying to find a comfortable position, but he grips me hips to stop me. "Stop," he grunts out. "That's not helping with the situation."

I smirk, knowing exactly what he's talking about. So I just keep on shifting, making him groan again. When I'm settled, I stop and set my head on his chest, playing innocent.

He huffs out something among his breath, but I don't pay attention to it. He caresses my thighs while we're watching TV.

Bending down to reach my ear, he whispers, "Did I make a good choice?" 

I chuckle. "Hate to break it to you, but I don't wear bras to sleep." His eyebrows raise. "Oh really? So if I do this," he sneaks his hands under the shirt and softly grabs my boobs, "I can just feel your amazing boobs," he moans.

I smirk, seeing Dominic and Easton glancing at us with jealousy. Asher toys around with my nipples, clearly having the time of his life. I'm enjoying this too, but he'll have to do more than just playing with my boobs to get me heated.

Dominic locks eyes with me. "You got something you want to watch?"

I slap Ash's hands away, making him whine in protest, and reach to get the remote. "I've got a weak for Disney movies," I confess. 

Easton grins. "Ahw. Tough Daisy loves princess movies."

I glare at him, but am not embarrassed. "Can you blame me?" He shuts up, raising his hands in surrender. "Hey, I'm not complaining. After all, they're on my to-watch list."

My jaw drops in rage. "You haven't watched them yet?"

He shrugs. "Little love, none of us have. Our parents wouldn't let us even look at a TV."

Oh. That's kinda sad.

I smile. First at him, then at his brothers. "We can watch them together!"

And that's what we do for the whole evening. Watching three Disney movies until 2am, until they're too invested to even deny they don't enjoy them.
