“The plan is to work hard for a while so that I can help my parents retire,” Jae explained as he rested his arm along the back of the couch behind her head. “They’ve done so much for me. I want to do this one thing for them.”
A look of awe filled Zoe’s face as she nodded.
“That’s really good of you. My family life is a bit complicated, but I want the best for my dad,” she said, now looking a bit bittersweet.
My heart ached for her. She took such a hard hit when she lost her mom, which I hadn’t brought up to her because I didn’t want to make her upset. It was probably difficult enough for her to be back here.
While Garrett sat on the other side of Zoe, Gabe and I sat on the rug, leaning our backs against the front of the couch.
“Cohen mentioned you were doing some research in the library. Did you find anything?” I asked, filling the brief silence.
Zoe nodded, her forehead creasing in thought.
“Yeah, I actually did. There was a string of arson incidents about four years ago, and my mom actually studied those fires. The librarian said my mom had proof of the fires, but… she passed shortly after that,” she said. Her voice wavered for a second, but she cleared her throat and took a breath. “Do you guys remember any fires that happened four years ago?”
“Yeah, I do. There was an uptick of fires, but it all stopped one day,” Jae replied as his brow furrowed. “I remember we did an investigation, but it went nowhere because there was no evidence to find. We had to move on.”
Garrett and Gabe nodded.
“We probably should’ve looked into them more. Even after they stopped,” Gabe sighed.
I faintly remembered a few arson incidents, but it felt like they happened so long ago and before I even joined.
“I think people were saying it was a bunch of high school kids being assholes,” I reminded them.
Zoe nodded as she listened.
“I think it’s worth looking into,” she said. “That’ll be my next move.”
Jae leaned closer to her, their eyes meeting.
“You know, if you need any help on the research side, you can ask us,” he told her. “You don’t have to go digging all alone.”
“I didn’t have the highest English scores, but I can research,” Gabe spoke up, eliciting chuckles from the rest of us.
Zoe looked touched, but she shook her head. Her fingers brushed Jae’s knee as they peered at each other, tension filling the small amount of space between us all.
“I couldn’t ask you guys to do that. You do enough putting out the fires and making sure people are safe,” she denied.
My shoulder leaned against her leg, prompting her to look down at me.
“We’re willing to help,” I replied as I angled my body toward her more. My fingertips brushed up her calf, grazing the rough material of her jeans. “With anything you need.”
Zoe’s breath hitched, her body stiffening for a moment. She put a casual smile on her face, but I could see the desire in her darkening eyes.
“Don’t make promises you can’t keep,” she teased me.
“I think with the help of my friends, we can pull off anything,” I assured her as I nodded to the others, who were eyeing her as well.
Zoe looked around at everyone, her eyes settling on Garrett’s hand as it rested on her thigh.
“Today was pretty stressful. Can you help take my mind off it?” she asked as her eyes met mine.
“Gladly,” I confirmed with a pleased smile.
Everyone moved. Jae and Garrett took turns kissing her, while working her long sleeve shirt off her body, followed by her bra. With Gabe’s help, we took off her shoes and guided her jeans and panties down her legs. I grabbed her hips and pulled her closer to the edge of the couch, my face soon burying itself between her soft thighs.
Zoe gasped into Jae’s mouth as my tongue lapped at her clit. She tangled her fingers in Garrett’s hair as he kissed her neck, her back arching as Gabe squeezed her breast. She quickly became a beautiful, writhing mess, chasing our touches as we left them all over her body.
I sucked on her clit as I worked a finger inside of her. She seemed to squeeze me, welcoming me in as I happily tasted her. She was even better than I imagined. My eyes shifted up as Zoe stroked Jae’s and Garrett’s cocks on either side of her, my own erection hardening even more.
Gabe stood behind the couch, tilting Zoe’s head back so that he could kiss her and praise her.
“You’re so good for us,” he praised her as he brushed her hair away from her face.
Zoe whimpered, arching her back and pushing her hips up toward me. She stroked Jae and Garrett faster, her eyes fluttering shut as they kissed her neck and teased her nipples.
