shoulders and said, “Can we stay like this?”
    “Like what?”  His brows furrowed in confusion.
    “Facing each other?”
    “Of course.  I don’t want to miss seeing your beautiful face.  We can stop now, if you want.”
    “No!”  She clutched at his shoulders and he chuckled, sitting up and drawing off his shirt.  His jeans were next, as he moved off the bed to strip and then climbed back on again.  His body nestled in the cradle of her hips, and she lifted her legs to wrap around his waist.
    “Are you ready?” he asked again.
    “Yes, Orion,” she breathed, stroking her fingers across his jaw.  He was so handsome, and for tonight, he was hers.  He shifted his body away from hers and his cock bumped against her pussy.  With one long, slow stroke, he filled her.  Both of them groaned, and he dropped his forehead against hers, wrapping his arms around her.  “You feel perfect, sweetheart,” he whispered with a kiss.
    She wanted to say it back to him, but her past kept the words locked up tightly.  That was the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to her.  She was far from perfect, but in this moment, with these men, she felt as close to it as she ever had.
    They stayed motionless for a few moments, and then he pulled out of her just as slowly as he’d driven inside, as if they had all the time in the world. And tonight, it felt like they did.
    They moved together, slow at first and then building in speed, as the tension in her body built more and more.  She felt him tense and then groan low and deep in his throat as his cock swelled and emptied inside her.  The first spasm of his body inside hers set off a reaction that made her clench her teeth together.
    Orion’s voice was deep in her ear.  “Let go.  You don’t have to be quiet.”
    Unclenching her jaw, she let out a gusty groan as hot fingers of pleasure wove through her, and Orion chuckled in her ear and then kissed her cheek.  He held her for several quiet minutes.  The whole cabin was quiet and the only thing she could hear was the storm outside and her heart beating.
    As her pleasure slipped away like the tide, emotion welled up inside her and her eyes filled with tears.  She’d never felt so singularly cherished in her entire life.  Her tears were ones of joy and relief, for her first taste of freedom, and the tenderness she’d found at the hands of her rescuers.  Then her mind began to churn, making her question their safety.
    “Are these happy tears or sad tears?” Orion asked softly, brushing his thumbs across her cheeks.
    She blinked and more tears spilled over.  “Are we really safe?”  Her voice was thick and her lips trembled as she spoke.
    “I swear we’re safe.”  He smiled in understanding and hugged his arms around her tighter.  “You take all the time you need.  We’re right here.”
    At his words, Crux and Sterling laid their hands on her arms, lending her their strength and support.  She willed her mind to let go of the fear of being found by her former mate and pack, and absorbed the heat of Orion’s body on top of her and remembered the pleasure that they had shared.  Her tears eased as they held each other, until they disappeared altogether.
    Orion slipped out of her body and climbed off the bed.  Her body tingled with pleasure.  He returned quickly with a metal cup filled with water from the kitchen and she drank it greedily.  He refilled it and she drained it just as fast, laying back on the mattress and closing her eyes.  Although she felt better than she had before having sex with Orion, she knew the drug wasn’t out of her system yet.  She could feel the heat of passion flaring up in her again.
    She looked at Crux and his nostrils flared, his green eyes darkening.  She reached for the button of his jeans and undid it, and he straightened slightly so she could pull the zipper down.  Going up on one elbow, she watched as he moved off the bed and pushed his jeans down his legs.  They
