Olivia's POV
****Whatโs Next
โI want to feel it,โ I whispered, my voice softer now. โI want to remember how it feltโฆ to be taken by all of you.โ
I chuckled and rolled my eyes. โDonโt make promises you canโt keep.โ
I stretched my legs a little, wincing slightly at the soreness, but I didnโt mind it. Not even a little.
With my eyes closed, I communicated with my wolf.
Louis rolled his eyes but set the tray down on the nightstand. โI brought fruit, pancakes, and tea. Donโt say I never spoil you.โ
I released a soft sigh, not knowing what to sayโฆ this was supposed to be the part where everything starts falling into place, but deep down I felt this phase of my life was actually going to be terrifying.
As if they could feel my gaze, Louisโs eyes blinked open first. He smiled sleepily, his voice rough. โMorning, angel.โ
I nodded gently.
โSo what now?โ I asked.
Lennoxโs eyes darkened. โIf we stay, Olivia, we wonโt let you bathe alone.โ
Louis whistled. โAnd you looked sore already, angel.โ
Lennox was behind me, one arm wrapped tightly around my waist, his breath steady and deep against the back of my neck. His chest rose and fell in a slow rhythm, his face calm and peaceful in sleep.
Levi reluctantly let go of me, and I stood, wrapping the blanket around myself. As soon as my feet touched the cold floor, Louis was there, lifting me into his arms.
Louis leaned forward and kissed my shoulder. โYouโre everything.โ
I quickly shook my head and gave him a warm smile. โThatโs not trueโฆ you three did amazingโฆ I couldnโt want anything less,โ I assured them.
Whatโs Next
Levi was the first to get up as he sat on the bed, followed by his brothers. Slowly, I sat up but felt a little sore between my thighs. The triplets must have noticed it because they suddenly had that worried look on their faces.
I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes for a moment.
Just then, Louis walked back into the room with a tray of food in his hands. โDid I miss something?โ
โAnd besides, I could just heal myself,โ I added with a smirk, โbut I donโt want to.โ
โI genuinely donโt know what the future holds,โ he said softly. โBut I do know one thing -Iโll be right beside you through it all. We all will.โ
Lennox stepped out of the bathroom. โBathโs ready. I added lavender oilโyou need to relax those muscles.โ
I woke up to the ray of sunlight flashing on my face. I groaned softly and turned my head away from the light, snuggling deeper into the familiarly alluring warmth around me. Slowly, I opened my eyes.
I giggled, letting him carry me into the bathroom like I weighed nothing. Steam filled the air, and the tub was full, the water topped with delicate rose petals and scented with lavender and something sweetโjasmine, maybe.
Lennox swallowed hard, reaching out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear. โYouโre unbelievable,โ he murmured.
As they left, I let the blanket drop and slowly stepped into the warm water. A soft moan escaped my lips as I sank in, the heat soothing every aching muscle. I leaned back, breathing deeply, letting the scent and warmth wrap around me like their touch.
Before I could answer, Lennox groaned softly behind me, shifting as he nuzzled the back of my neck. โYouโre awake?โ he mumbled.
โWe were hard on you last night, right?โ Levi askedโฆ sounding guilty.
Suddenly, I got a mind link.
โSomeone is here to see you!"
Whatโs Next
In front of me, Louis lay on his side, facing me, his lashes brushing his cheeks, his lips slightly parted. His fingers were still laced with mine. He looked so calmโฆ so beautiful, like he hadnโt been awake all night loving me.
I sucked a deep breath and lifted my head off his chest to hold his gaze. With Levi, I felt really open, like I could tell him anythingโฆ it has always been like that.
They looked relieved for a moment, but the worry never left their eyes.
โOlivia.โ
I looked up at them, at all three of them standing in the doorway now. โYou donโt have to go.โ
Leviโs face was calm, but I could see the concern etched behind his calm expression. He tenderly cupped my face with both hands and flashed me a comforting smile.
โI swear it,โ he said without hesitation. โEven if the world turns against us, weโll stand with you.โ
Louis set me down gently beside the tub, then kissed my forehead before stepping back. โWeโll give you a moment.โ
I giggled. โNo. You just kept me warm.โ
That shut them up.
Levi was curled at my feet, arms around my legs like a blanket. His dark hair was tousled, and a soft snore slipped from his lips.
I bit my lip, feeling the heat crawl back up my neck. โFine. Then go,โ I said playfully. His words melted something inside me. I leaned forward and pressed my forehead against his. โPromise me,โ I murmured.
โIโm thinking about the future,โ I said truthfully. โWhat happens from here?โ
I just stared at them for a moment, my heart swelling with something warm and heavy. I had them. All three. Right here.
His thumbs brushed against my cheeks, gently wiping away the tears I hadnโt even realized had slipped down.
Relaxed in Leviโs arms, I sucked a deep breath as I wondered what life had in store for us from nowโฆ is it happily ever after orโฆ
โIโll get you something to eat,โ Louis added as he grabbed a pair of sweatpants and tossed one at Lennox.
They all laughedโrelieved, maybe, or just happy to hear me teasing them again.
Levi scooted back onto the bed, sitting beside me again. โStill,โ he said, โnext time, weโll go easier on you.โ
โWhat are you thinking?โ Levi asked, stroking my hair.
โYou donโt have to worry about tomorrow, angel,โ he whispered. โLet us carry that weight with you. Youโre not alone anymore.โ
I tensed. It was Calvin.
โDonโt touch her!โ Lennox warned, heading to the bathroom.
They all smiled.
Lennox smiled at me. โWeโll be right outside.โ
Then Levi stirred, stretching like a cat and letting out a soft yawn. His eyes opened slowly, and when they landed on me, he grinned. โWe didnโt crush you, did we?โ
She responded immediately. โYou tell meโฆ what now?โ She threw my question back to me.
Levi laughed behind them. โWeโre trying to be good mates. For once.โ
โIโll stay right here,โ Levi said proudly, wrapping an arm around my shoulders and pulling me close. โSomeone has to keep you company.โ
Levi smirked. โI canโt promise that.โ
โIโll run you a warm bath,โ Lennox said, already slipping off the bed.
โYes?โ
โYouโre not walking today,โ he said with a wink.
I swallowed hard and composed myself.
They all looked confused.
Whatโs Next
Levi chuckled but didnโt move away. โYou always miss the best parts.โ
He was silent for a moment before he spoke.
I laughed gently and pulled the blanket tighter around me. โYou spoil me more than enough.โ
I blushed and sank deeper into his chest, inhaling the alluring smell coming from him. We were both still naked, with just the blanket covering us.
