Drew stops in my doorway and leans on the frame. His hands are tucked into his pockets. “What’s wrong, princess?”
“I like sleeping together.” She lifts her gaze to his.
He chuckles and steps into my room, giving me a quick glance to ask if it’s okay. I nod. We’re definitely going to need to set up ground rules. While Sara might be everyone’s, I don’t know that I want to share everything in my life with three other men.
“How about we have a movie night with pizza and popcorn?” Drew sits on her other side.
“That’s the other thing. We can’t go out on dates until this Alexander thing is resolved.”
She blows out a frustrated breath.
We don’t know when he might make a move. We’re safer at home all together.
Her pale green eyes meet mine. “I know what we have will never be truly normal, but I’d like to at least be as normal as we can be.”
“Staying in won’t be so bad, pip.” I brush her hair over her shoulder and a little shiver goes through her.
“We could probably all go out to brunch tomorrow morning,” Drew offers. He already has his phone open and I would guess he’s making a reservation.
“That would be nice.” Sara cracks a small smile but it’s a little sad. “Caitlyn loves brunch. It’s her grown-up time.” She pauses for a second. “Am I being a bad sister for moving out while she’s gone? She won’t even have time to adjust to it.”
I rub Sara’s back. “Caitlyn will be fine. It’s not like you’re leaving the state. She’s a drive away. Besides, she’ll be able to come over and hang out. It will make her feel more grown-up than brunch.”
Sara leans her head against my arm. “You’re right, boss. Change is just hard.”
“Come on.” Drew stands and offers Sara his hand.
When she takes it, he helps her to her feet and pulls her into his arms.
She looks up at him with that look she gives all of us. Like we hung the moon for her. And fuck if we wouldn’t try if that’s what she needed.
“We can make tonight better, princess.”
“How are you going to do that?” Her eyes widen.
“We’ll make it a slumber party. Pajamas required.” Drew glances at me. Not necessarily for permission, but making sure it will fly with the others.
I shrug. We’re on the top floor. If Natasha or Tom venture up here, they get what they get. Us in boxers and Sara in pajamas.
“That sounds like fun.” Sara grins and goes up on her toes to kiss Drew. He sweeps her up against him and deepens the kiss. This feels easy and comfortable. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined sharing Sara not only with Wyatt and Finn, but with Drew Young.
Then again, I never imagined I’d have her at all. Maybe that’s why this works. None of us could have had her on our own. When I stand, Drew releases Sara. She comes over to me and I lift her. Her arms and legs wrap around me as I kiss her.
She lets out a happy sigh as her lips part beneath mine. We deepen the kiss, tasting and teasing each other. I pull back before I give in to the urge to back her against a wall and take what she so sweetly offers.
I rest my head against hers and breathe her in.
“Get dressed, pip.” I lower her to her feet. “Then we’ll go down and make popcorn. I’ll order us some pizza.”
“That leaves me in charge of the movie?” Drew smirks.
“No porn.” I arch an eyebrow. That might be a step too far.
“Killjoy.” He laughs. “What do you want to watch, Sara?”
She flattens her palm over my heart before turning and heading downstairs to the primary where all her clothes are. Drew follows her as she begins to list off movies.
Wyatt comes through our shared bathroom and stares after them. “What’s the plan then?”
