“Ours,” I say, my eye twitching.

Asher’s lips flatten, and he glares at me. After a minute, he lets out a breath and turns his scowl forward as he relaxes into the seat.

“Fine,” he mutters. “Let’s make this perfectly fucking clear. I’ll share with only you, Elijah. I won’t share with anyone else. Got it?”

I nod. “Trust me, I won’t allow another man to touch her. So I think we’re on the same page here.”

The room falls into silence.

I glance down the hallway, as if I can see Eden in my bed from here.

“Do you really want to get Eden pregnant?” Asher says.

The thought of her stomach swollen with our child has blood rushing between my legs. I don’t hide the fact that it turns me on. After sharing the same tight space inside Eden, I’d say it won’t bother him in the least that I’m tenting my boxers.

Jesus, we’re a pair of sick fucks.

Smirking, Asher stands. “Glad you’re coming around, E.”

He meanders down the hallway, chuckling.

“It’s about time you admit that you’re as into Eden as I am,” he says. “Now get your ass back in the bedroom. We have our work cut out for us.”

My cock jerks at the promise of fucking Eden and coming inside her.

He stops and faces me. “And grab some water for us. We’ll need it.”

Oh yeah. We’re definitely fucked up. Hopefully, this plan works out. Otherwise, we’re only bringing Eden into the mess we’re creating.

CHAPTER 44

EDEN

DAY 7 OF THE BET

I’m burning up.

A bead of sweat drifts down my temple, leaving behind a cool trail on my skin.

I force my eyes open as I shift beneath the heavy blankets. When the heat doesn’t let up, I kick down the comforter and turn onto my side and into a warm body. An arm slings around my waist and tucks me closer to the furnace.

I lift my head and blink several times.

One of the twins lies beside me, one arm covering his eyes while he sleeps and the other arm banded around me. I look behind me at the second twin. He sleeps on his stomach, the back of his head facing me.

Shit. It’s hard to tell which one is which when Asher doesn’t have a sucker in his mouth.

I turn my head and look at the twin on his back. My gaze drags down his body until I stop on his hard cock.

That’s definitely Asher.

He’s thicker than Elijah.

A quick glance between the two, and they look the same down there, but I’ve gotten to know the guys well enough to tell the difference.

I gently ease Asher away from me, and his arm tightens around me. He brings me into him to lie halfway over him, my breasts crushed against his side. I grunt and wiggle away, but it’s like fighting a python. He’s wrapped around me, refusing to let me leave his side.

“Let go,” I growl under my breath as I squirm again.
