Slowly and delicately my body was removed from the restraints each of them would softly rub the area and place a kiss on the area.

Once I was free I pulled my legs to my chest.

I feel the hair on my face brush its way behind my ear and I look up and see Edison.
"How are you feeling, baby?" He asks me softly as he studies my face.

I look at him. "I feel good."

"Well, how about we get something in that tummy of yours?" Jeremy asks.

"Okay.." I say as I rise up.

Alex pats my head softly before he places a kiss on my forehead.

Dexter finally emerges and I wasn't even sure when he had left.

Carrying a damp cloth.

He softly wipes my most intimate areas.
"There you go, beautiful." He says as he softly kisses my lips before stepping back.

"Would you like to eat here beautiful or would you like to go somewhere with us?" Edison asks me softly as he stands by my bag.

I glanced around the room, considering the comfort of staying here, surrounded by their familiar presence, versus the idea of going somewhere new and letting this moment carry on a little longer. See where they grew up. I looked up at Edison and saw the warmth in his eyes.

"I think... going somewhere with you all sounds nice," I say softly.

Jeremy grins and I feel his hand brush along my back as he helps me stand. "Perfect choice, baby. A change of scenery it is."

Dexter offered his hand, and I took it, feeling his strong, reassuring grip as he led me forward. Alex was gathering up a light jacket after Edison grabbed me a simple but cute outfit, both of them making sure I'd be comfortable wherever we went.

It seemed like every move that they made was careful, and intentional, as if each of them was making sure I knew just how much they valued me.

Outside, the world felt vast and open, yet they made me feel safe like nothing could reach me as long as they were here.

Edison walked a bit closer, leaning down to murmur in my ear, "Wherever you want to go, it's yours. Just tell us." As we walk to the car.

I took a breath, letting the night air fill my lungs my body still tingly from the ride I guess.

"Maybe somewhere quiet?" I suggest softly as I glance between them. "Where we can just... enjoy the moment like not too busy?"

Jeremy nods and I feel his hand coming up to rest on the small of my back slightly as though he didn't even know he was doing it. "I know just the place," he said with a gentle smile.

Edison slipped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer to him as we walked. "You're going to love it. Just a spot where we can relax, no interruptions."

We drove down a path that led to a secluded, cozy diner tucked away the soft lights cast a warm glow through the windows. Inside, the atmosphere was perfect—quiet, and inviting, with c-shaped booths that offered a little privacy.

Once we settled into a corner booth, Dexter reached across the table to take my hand, his thumb tracing small circles over my skin. "Anything you want, it's on us," he said a little sternly yet his voice was warm and his eyes gleamed with that hint of mischief I'd come to adore.

Menus in hand, Alex sits on my left side and he looks at me thoughtfully. "What are you in the mood for?" he asks me as if my answer is the only thing that matters.
