Chapter 299: What’s Next

Olivia’s POV

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.

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.

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 calm... so beautiful. Like he hadn’t been awake all night loving me.

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 just stared at them for a moment, my heart swelling with something warm and heavy. I had them. All three. Right here.

As if they could feel my gaze, Louis’s eyes blinked open first. He smiled sleepily, his voice rough. "Morning, angel."

Before I could answer, Lennox groaned softly behind me, shifting as he nuzzled the back of my neck. "You’re awake?" he mumbled.

I nodded gently.

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. "We didn’t crush you, did we?"

I giggled. "No. You just kept me warm."

They all smiled.

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.

"We were hard on you last night, right?" Levi asked... sounding guilty.

I quickly shook my head and gave him a warm smile. "That’s not true... you three did amazing... I couldn’t want anything less," I assured them.

They looked relieved for a moment, but the worry never left their eyes.

"And besides, I could just heal myself," I added with a smirk, "but I don’t want to."

They all looked confused.
