**BLURB**

When you’re in love with your best friend, life is complicated.

When he’s also your stepbrother, it’s a nightmare.

Jane’s apparently a magnet for chaos.

Because now she’s agreed to tutor her stepbrother’s enemy, and that sexy bad boy might have a thing for her. She might also love that a tingle surrounds her soul whenever he’s close.

Throw his two brothers into the mix, dangerous rivals looking to destroy every one of them, and parents controlling her love life. It’s safe to say she’s wandered into the apocalypse.

At least being torn between four hot guys isn’t the end of the world.

Just kidding. It totally is.

But they’ll all realize something.

Jane’s the ruler of her life. No one else.

Long live the queen . . . and her kings.

*strong language, sexual assault, sex, stepbrother romance, reverse harem romance. Guaranteed HEA. No Cliffhanger*

**EXCERPT 1**

“I’ll destroy him if he takes one step away with her.” Ryder grinned confidently. “Don’t worry about him anyway—she can’t live without me. She’s just figuring that out.”

David straightened as fear and anger shot down his spine. “I’ll make everything up to her.”

“Then do it, fucker.” Ryder quieted when noises from the other players and coaches coming filled the locker room.

Before David could switch his focus to the upcoming game, his phone vibrated. His pulse hummed in his ears because it was a text from Tercero, and the way Ryder was staring at his phone, he’d gotten a message as well.

They both looked at each other and then opened the picture.

“Hot damn.” Ryder yanked David’s phone before he could fully take it in. “Just seeing if he sent the same photo.”

David snatched it back, and he smiled. It was like the universe had forgiven him. All his hopes and dreams with her didn’t seem impossible anymore, because his beautiful girl was right there—on his bed, wearing his jersey in just a pair of her favorite knee-high socks and nothing else.

It was the sexiest thing he’d ever seen, but she’d made it tasteful. Or, he guessed Tercero had made sure she wasn’t totally exposed. Her legs were together and tilted to the side, showing off the side of her bare ass.

“I’m actually glad we had him take the photo.” Ryder rearranged himself. “He took a photography class last year, and he’s all artistic. She listened to him about me—no panties. That means I’m in with you.”

David noticed, and he knew it meant Jane was choosing all of them right now. It hurt, but he hadn’t expected her to drop Ryder.

“Fuck, she’s a goddess,” Ryder whispered.

She really was, and David couldn’t take his eyes off her. Tercero had arranged her hair, spread out in a way that made her look like a fallen angel, and her eyes—she made sure he knew this was for him and Ryder. “He’s standing on my bed. He better be dressed.”

“He wouldn’t do that,” Ryder said, texting something back. “He said they didn’t fuck, but she’s satisfied. Lucky bastard probably ate her out.”

All sorts of violent thoughts rose, but David tried to control himself. He’d told Tercero to take care of her, and he should be proud, focusing on the fact that she knew he’d been the one to make this happen, to make sure she was satisfied. David wanted to talk to her alone, but he knew he’d have no privacy with players filling in now. “I’m fucking surprised she’d let him do that. I think about that all the time with her, but she’s always so sweet—I can’t—”

“You think she doesn’t have dirty wishes?” Ryder chuckled. “She’s always reading naughty books. She definitely fantasizes about it, and we let her have it.”

David sighed, realizing Ryder was right again. Jane wasn’t a prude, but she’d been something almost sacred to him, and so he’d told himself it was wrong to think about the things he wanted to do to her, that she became even more untouchable and pure. She became something no one should taint, even though he wanted to do everything with her. “What are you telling him?” he asked instead of blurting out more personal stuff.

“Told him to ask her if she’s ready for all of us.” Ryder dodged the punch David threw. “Careful, you’re already hurt. Coach is gonna baby your ass if he sees it.”

David didn’t give a damn about his hand or the coach. He sent Jane a text, well aware Ryder’s focus was now him doing the same. There were so many things he wanted to say, but it didn’t feel right to do it in a text: Beautiful, baby. I promise we’ll talk tonight.

Ryder leaned closer, peeking at his phone. “Say something better than that. She wants dirty talk right now. Show her you’re not a scared bitch, and you want her just like this—all sexy. Or she’s gonna be embarrassed for trying.”

“I want every version of her, but I want to talk to her in person.”

“No, you’re afraid she’s not going to handle the dirty shit you want.” Ryder smirked, and David knew it was because Ryder had had a taste of Jane’s wild side. “Trust me, she wants all of it.”

David was still unsure, but he didn’t have time to discuss it more. He lowered his voice and locked his screen as Lance walked toward him. “Don’t you dare show her to anyone else.”

Instead of joking, Ryder gave him a serious nod. “She’s ours.”

**TEASERS**

**EXCERPT 2**

He pulled a needle-like thing from his pocket and headed out the door, whispering, “He stormed up here an hour ago. He locks his door to keep everyone away, but I’m cool. I know how to pick locks.”

She followed him, her nerves kicking in now. “Archer, wait. What if he doesn’t want to see me either?”

He stilled his hand as he looked at her. “Impossible.” Then he did a little movement with his hand and the lock clicked.

Ryder’s voice practically shook the air around them. “Archer, you piece of shit, leave me the fuck alone!”

Oh, he was pissed.

Archer chuckled, pushing open the door. “Relax, brother. I merely caught your moon. She was sneaking across the lawn.” He shoved her into the room and shut the door behind her.

It was dark inside, but moonlight poured over the king-sized bed along with the figure sitting on it.

Jane smiled even though her bad boy looked ready to attack. He didn’t move, but with his forearms braced on his knees and his hands clasped, he was an intimidating sight. Still, she shyly whispered, “Hey.”

“Hey.” It was a detached greeting, his voice rougher than usual too.

She took a hesitant step forward. “I told Tercero to let me know if you got out, but neither of you called. Are you mad at me?”

He shifted, shaking out one of his hands in a way that made her think he’d been making too tight a fist. “Never mad at you, babe. Just making sure I don’t fuck up what’s going to make you happy. Knocking your stepdad out isn’t exactly making our situation any easier for you. It was the last thing you needed to happen tonight—I should've kept my cool.”

Gosh, he really had so much of her heart already. “I’m the one making things hard, and you were only defending Luc. I'm not mad.”

“I kinda expect things to be hard with you.” He breathed out, putting even more weight on his arms. “I’ll take it all, Jane. But I’m not going to force you to be with me.”

“You want me to leave?”

“Baby, I want to keep you always.” He said it so casually, but each word went directly to her soul and made her flicker with beautiful light in the dark. “But if I have my way, I’ll destroy you. And I want you whole, happy . . . glowing. I’m afraid I’ll put your light out if I try to get closer again.”

Jane didn’t know what to do. Being around each of her guys felt right, but Ryder was all she could think about right now. “Are you okay? No one hurt you, right?”

A dark chuckle slipped out of him. “Nah, no one hurt me. The only one who can do that is you.”

That made her frown; was he saying she was going to break his heart?

“Come here.” He didn’t move from his position as she walked over without any hesitation. He tilted his head a bit to look up at her once she stopped in front of him. “I’m saying too much.”

“No. I want to know what you’re thinking and doing.” She was trembling, the hairs on her body rising as if her body knew he was right there.

He stared at her, the same way he always did—like she was everything he needed and wanted to see. “Do you know how I feel about you?”

“I think so,” she whispered, her heart hammering away now. He loved her.

Absolute beauty when he smiled at her and shook his head. “But you don’t want to believe it, do you?”

“It’s just hard. I’m afraid, I think.” Fox Mulder suddenly popped into her head, and she grinned. “I want to believe.”

“You’re such a nerd.” He sighed, taking in her attire. “Well, if you’re not running from me after the shit I pulled—I’m wondering if you’re planning on flaunting your boyfriendand stepbrother in my face all night. Or do I get to have you to myself for a while?”

Jane rolled her shoulders back so Luc’s jacket would fall off. Ryder stayed right where he was, just inches from her as he scanned her still wearing David’s jersey. She didn’t wait for him to say something about it. Instead, she untied the knot on it and pulled it over her head. But no way was she disrespecting David by tossing him aside. So, after folding it, she held it out to Ryder.

He glanced at it, taking it slowly and setting it on top of Luc’s jacket. “You had me excited, you little tease.”

She laughed, shivering when he gripped her hips and tugged her between his legs. “You mean this?” She snapped the strap of her cami.

Intense emerald eyes peered up at her. “You know you’re my goddess, right?”

A shaky breath passed her lips as he moved his hands around to grip her ass. When he touched her phone in her back pocket, he pulled it out and tossed it onto the pile of clothes. Then he was back to holding her ass.

“See how you fit perfectly in my hands?” He squeezed her butt cheeks.

Jane stumbled, bracing her hands on his shoulders. “Yes,” she breathed.

“Everything about us is meant to be,” he continued in a velvety tone as he slid his hands down the back of her thighs and up again, under her shorts. Squeeze. “In my dreams, you’re my queen, and we’re joined even beyond the end of time.”

“That sounds like a lot more than you just wanting to be my boyfriend.” Her voice trembled as much as her body did beneath his touch.

He breathed out, moving his hand under her cami to hold her waist. Then he stared up at her for what felt like a really long time but was only seconds. “I would say I want to be your everything—I know I can be—but I know you more than you realize.” His fingers tightened before he moved one hand to caress her stomach. “You want David. Maybe even more than just him and me.”

Now Jane reached out and caressed his cheek. Sometimes he looked older than a seventeen, which was super sexy. Especially because she had always hated he was a day younger than her. “I don’t know why I’m being this way,” she told him, referring to her inability to just choose. “I want to be simple. I mean, you’re perfect for me.” She stared into his eyes, knowing every bit of this was true. “Already, you’re the one person I’m certain about, and I think I’d follow you anywhere—”

“But,” he cut her off with a smile that hugged her heart. “But you’re not simple. It’s okay, babe. Just tell me how you want me to deal if my distance is wrong. Believe me, I want to be with you, holding you—carrying you out of every bad situation, but I’m aware you don’t want that. And I know, even if you’re mad with Kingston, you don’t want me to hurt him.”

There he went again. Jane leaned down, cupping his cheeks before pressing her lips to his. Tingles went all the way to her chest, spreading out like a blooming flower until he broke their kiss.

“Focus, babe.” Though he said that and held her out a bit, his gaze still fell to her breasts. “Damn.”

She laughed, embarrassed that it only made her boobs bounce in his face.

He smiled up at her. “Hurry up and tell me so we can get naked.”

The way he said it, both teasing and serious and mixed with his smooth tone, was too much. Her legs buckled, but he caught her by wrapping an arm around her thighs and the other around her waist. He pulled her closer, burying his face against her chest.

Jane hugged his head, her whole body alive—every cell was aware he was holding her. “This. I want this,” she breathed, sliding her fingers through his black hair. “You. I can’t have you too far from me. Even when I’m with him, I think a part of me cries for you.”

“I’ve always been here.” He rested his chin on her chest and peered up at her. “But you want to keep Luc as the public boyfriend? Or did David tell you our plan?”

“David told me.” She thought about Luc. “It was the same plan Luc had proposed.”

Ryder inhaled, but he leaned forward, kissing between her breasts. “You like him.”

“A little,” she admitted.

A low rumble resounded within his chest. “And you like Tercero.”

“Yeah, I didn’t mean to.”

Those emerald eyes locked onto hers. “But you like me more.”

“I like you most.” She moved enough to break his hold then tugged up her cami.

“Is this my reward?” His eyes lit up once she was able to see him again, and he was taking her in, but it was her face he kept returning to. “You know I want more than sex, right?”

Jane hesitated but still moved from him to unbutton her shorts. “I know. I want to show you my feelings because I don’t know how to say them.”

For a moment she thought he was going to tell her to get dressed, but he didn’t. He gave her a sweet kiss on the inside of her left breast and slid the zipper down on her shorts. “Ah, damn, I forgot you were wearing my underwear,” he said, groaning as he slowly slid her shorts down. “Your thighs are already wet, babe.”

That was embarrassing, but she’d been turned on from the moment she’d spotted him walk out of the football tunnel. “Sorry.”

He chuckled, trailing his finger up her inner thigh. “Don’t be. I like it.” As he tasted her juices from his fingers, he inclined his head toward her bra. “Take it off.”

There was no waiting around—she wanted to show him everything as he did with her. “I know I perv on you”—she grinned unclasping her bra— “but I kinda need to touch you, too.”

“Only kinda?” Instead of tugging his shirt off, he leaned back, bracing himself on his hands as he waited for her to free her breasts. “I promise you’ll get to touch me wherever you want. But you’re giving me my dream right now.”

She used her arm to cover her breasts as she dropped her bra. “A naked girl is your dream?”

“Only one girl is my dream.” He made a twirling motion with his finger. “I’m looking at her right now, but I want my dreams to become memories. Turn. Let me see your gorgeous ass. Then I want the rest.” He dropped his gaze to where she shielded herself.

It was weird how she wasn’t shy around him. Yes, she knew he’d watch her whenever she was in her room, and she’d sometimes give him a little show by stretching before she closed her curtain enough to do her private stuff, but he was finally going to see her in the flesh. Even their sex hadn’t been undressed, except for her bottoms. But she had no problem turning, other than wanting him to touch her.

“Stop,” he said when she was facing the other way, and his strong hands gripped her hips. “You have a dimple.”

Her face burned. She did have a dimple above her freaking ass crack, but a little to the side. She had the same thing on her face, a barely noticeable dimple on her left cheek. It was only there when she really smiled.

“Just like the slight dimple on your pretty face,” he murmured then kissed her dimple before kissing where she should’ve had a mirroring dimple. “Perfect for this incomplete boy.” His hand caressed her bottom before he turned her to face him.

Jane had never felt more beautiful than she did right then. His smile was something only God could create, and he was giving it to her.

Ryder reached up, sliding his thumb over her lips. “Stop biting.”

She laughed, kissing his thumb. “You were right about you being a romantic.”

“Told you I’m good at everything I do.” He smirked, leaning back again so he could get a better view. “Now, let me see my goddess.”
