Chapter Four
Wish it was my mouth?
Samantha
Dizzy is an understatement because not only am I nauseous, but I’m looking at me…and not in the mirror…but like standing in waist-high, crystal blue water surrounded by my guys.
What the hell?
“Hold on. Am I hallucinating? Or did you just say you're the Ghost of Christmas past?”
Reed grins, then winks. “I said, ‘Ghost of Christmas ass.’ But tomato, tomahto. Technically, the title is Past, so whatever.” He snaps his fingers. “That reminds me, let's make our second stop back at the cabin when I hit it from behind on the couch, and Cole was deep in your—”
I slap my hand over his mouth to cut him off.
“This isn't happening?” Panicked laughter spills out of me as I shake my head. “This. Is. Not. Happening… Ghosts?… of Christmas? What the hell… that's a 1990s Bill Murray movie….You’re not real. Reed isn’t a ghost. He's my ex-boyfriend. Plus, the only reasonable part of this scenario is you wanting to revisit anal. Soooo. No way. I'll pinch myself. That's what people who are in hysteria do.”
My shoulders jump because the moment I pinch, it hurts. He’s staring at me, that know-it-all look on his face before he points out toward the ocean, and my heart skips a beat.
Or maybe I’ve developed an arrhythmia. Am I having a stroke?… I touch the side of my face…stress causes Bell’s palsy? Am I numb?
I know my reaction is playing out over my face because Reed takes my hand and says, “You’re fine…” Then his eyes drop down my body. “Hella fine, actually.”
I shake my head. “This can’t be happening…and I don’t really even know what this happening means, but still…” I wave a finger erratically. “It can’t be. I’m hallucinating because of that fruitcake.”
Reed chuckles. This isn’t real…he isn’t real.
My eyes narrow before I reach out and pinch him, too, for good measure.
“Ow,” he barks, making me gasp.
“Oh my god. Oh….my…. god.”
That’s it. I blink, feeling like I’m going to pass out, but he smirks, pulling me flush to him.
“Sunshine. This is definitely fucking real. I’ll prove it.” He lowers my hand over his semi-hard cock. “Recognize anyone?”
I jerk my hand away. “Okay…” I’m breathing hard. “Just because Reed looks…feels like you and is also a perv doesn’t mean anything.”
“The fuck it doesn’t. And frankly, all this is your fault, you little love scrooge. This is what you get for bah humbugging happiness.” He takes me by the shoulders, turning me back around to face the water. “Now pay attention and try and learn your lesson, because sometimes you have to go back to the past to understand your future.”
Lesson? What? Why is he talking in riddles?
Before I can say anything, the conversation happening twenty feet away sounds as if I’m watching it on television. I can hear everything completely clear.
Alec runs his wet hands over my hair, staring down at me before he presses a chaste kiss to my lips. “I love you, gorgeous. Marry us. Today.”
My lips part immediately, seized by his words. But Cole brushes his knuckles over my jaw tenderly, stealing my attention. “It wouldn’t be legal, just ceremonial…but—”
“But,” Jace cuts in, making me spin towards his voice, “it would mean something to us, and if you want, we can make it real. We talked about it. Worked out the details.”
Jace kisses my cheeks and the tears that are streaming down my face.
Strong hands take my waist, guiding me around until I’m staring up at Reed, who looks like the sun. So beautiful and bright. Almost boyish.
“Say yes, Sunshine. Because we want forever.”
“Yes.”
The sound cuts out as I watch myself kiss them. Ghost Reed brushes his knuckles over my cheek.
I’m crying.
I wanted forever with them, but that was the beginning of the end. And none of us realized it.
“Look how much we love you. Look how happy you were…”
“I was dumb and in love. A classic tale really.”
He shakes his head. “I told them the romantic part would work on you…”
I blink up at him from over my shoulder. “What does that mean?”
He winks and snaps his fingers. And nausea hits. Oh god.
My hand snaps to my mouth as I stumble, now standing in the hotel bedroom. Wait a minute, this happened before the beach…
“Sorry ‘bout that,” he whispers, pulling my back to his chest, rubbing my stomach. “I thought we needed a change of perspective.”
Oh. I’m not sick anymore as I stare at the five of us standing in the middle of the room…nope, I’m something far different from sick. Reed’s rubbing my stomach slowly, his fingers brushing lower and lower.
“This isn’t dumb and in love…this is trust and worship, Sunshine. You remember what that feels like?”
I can’t speak because I want to say no or argue that he’s wrong. But we both know better. My surround sound hearing comes back just as Cole leans down to past me.
“Baby, you can have anything and everything you want. I’ll make the world kneel for you. Always.”
My eyes close for the softest second. He cups my breast, pinching my nipple between his fingers, making me gasp before I melt back into the other hard body behind me. My chest rises and falls with instant need as fingers scrape over my scalp, making my head fall back too. I rasp a moan, feeling lips drag over my collarbone and a hand run down my stomach.
The whole gang’s here.
My eyes open as I lift my head, engulfed by my men. But my eyes are on Cole. He yanks my button-fly shorts open with two tugs, making room for the wandering hands, and grins.
Jace’s voice tickles my ear because he’s the body behind me, just as his fingers dip inside my underwear. Fuck.
“You’re so wet, cutie, but let me make you wetter. I want to play with this sweet clit until you’re begging. Would you like that? Use your words and tell us.”
I’m already breathing heavily, completely lost to the feeling of hands, lips, and their warmth as I nod and rush out a “Yes…I’d like that.”
God, they’re always so all-consuming. The moment they touch me, I’m so overwhelmed that it feels like I can’t take it, even though I can’t get enough.
Cole’s hands spread over my hips, jerking my jean shorts off my body, taking my panties with them, eliciting a gasp.
Jace’s hand presses to my stomach, sealing my back to his front and his hard cock as he begins rubbing small, too gentle circles around my clit. Fuck, it’s sweet torture. My hair is gripped by Reed before he tilts my head so that my neck is exposed. His teeth graze my skin before he sucks.
“Fuck.” I groan, pressing my hips forward, trying to rock into Jace’s hand.
But it’s Reed’s voice that gives me shivers as Cole stares me down, rubbing himself through his slacks.
“I’m going to mark your entire body—” Ghost Reed whispers along with past him. Both with that sexy gravel. “—so everyone knows what a dirty little slut you are. Because who do you belong to, Sunshine?”
His hand slips down to cup my pussy as we watch, and I gasp. Fuck. I’m still worked up from my delusion with Cole.
Speaking of Cole, he raises a brow, waiting for past me to answer.
“You,” I breathe out. “I belong to all of you.”
“I can’t fucking wait anymore,” Alec booms from beside me.
Jace’s hand leaves my pussy as I’m swept off my feet, my arm landing over Alec’s shoulder as he carries me toward the bed. I can’t help but look over his shoulder because the vision of Reed, Cole, and Jace following like predatory fucking animals is enough to make me come on the spot.
The moment we hit the patio, the cool ocean breeze pricks my skin and makes me shiver as the sun simultaneously warms me. I’m dropped onto the soft fabric of the bed as I situate myself and look around them. They’re standing, each at an end of the bed with a hand holding a post, as thin, almost transparent silk that’s draped along the posts blows around them.
I press my lips together, hiding my smile, because it’s so sexy but also kind of like a cover off those romance novels you see in grocery stores.
Maybe Cole can be a pirate and Reed a cowboy, Alec can be a swashbuckler, and Jace…he can be the stable boy. The giggle I give narrows their eyes, making me smile harder before they shut me up—because they’re taking their clothes off.
Hot. Damn.
This part never gets old. I mean, none of our fivesomes do, but watching them strip is a top-three favorite part of my life.
Between Jace’s taut pecs adorned with nipple piercings and the fact that he is covered in tattoos, including the one he got right before we came to Hawaii, a red bow with five loops. It’s just like the one I tied around myself at Christmas when I gifted me to them.
And don’t get me started on the way that Cole’s body is sheer lean muscle perfection. There’s not a mistake, a regret, or an improvement to be had. He even has the most defined lines leading down to his giant cock. Sometimes, I spend hours daydreaming about what it would be like to lick his entire fucking body. But he’d never give me that much control, and I love him for it.
Then there’s Reed, who honestly could afford to be uglier because it’s not fair for him to be this charming and also that fucking hot. He’s a god, and he knows it. But my favorite part about him is his mouth—it’s full of the dirtiest talk and also makes me constantly think of kissing…not just my mouth either. I’ve never been with someone who eats pussy as if it’s his Olympic sport and he’s the world’s record holder. The man defends his title like a true champion, and like, here’s your medal, sorry it’s wet.
God, thinking about it is making my body squirm. Or maybe it’s the fact that ghost Reed is rubbing my clit from outside my clothes. Damn that feels good.
“Feel good…wish it was my mouth?”
I nod, unable to hide what I’m thinking. I do…so much I do. My hips press forward as Reed holds me in place, his palm splayed over my stomach as he rubs pressured circles around and around.
Oh god. Did I say that out loud…
“Shhh, watch. This is my favorite part.”
Alec reaches under the bed and tosses a white box onto the mattress. It’s long and has a red ribbon on it. Fucking red ribbons. I smile, giving him my attention, partially ignoring the box because he’s nude, holding his rock-hard cock in his hand.
I’m happily reminded of how Alec has the most beautiful dick I’ve ever seen. It’s perfectly proportional between length and girth. And the veins snake up the side, creating ridges along his tan flesh. His dick makes my mouth water, mainly because not only do I want it there, but I know he wants to watch me put it there.
I don’t know what’s hotter—sucking him off or knowing he’s captivated by watching me do it.
His thumb spreads the precum over the bulging head, and I can’t help myself. I start crawling over the bed toward him.
Alec releases himself, weaving his fingers into my hair as I slowly run my tongue over his tip before letting him push my head down over his dick all the way until it hits my throat.
“Oh, fuck. You’re such a good girl for me.” He pulls me back before lowering my head again, rasping his words toward the ceiling. “Such a good fucking girl for me.”
I suck, bobbing my head, letting him move my hair aside so he can see me take his cock deep into my throat, making myself gag before I release him and do it again. As I open my throat, letting him go deeper to cut off my air, wetness runs over my asshole, making me jump. But my hips are held still, and the tip of a cock presses to the tight hole, rimming it before I feel the tip slide inside.
Oh, fuck. I didn’t even feel anyone come up behind me. Yessss.
I moan, but all my air is cut off again, then given back. Alec takes over fucking my mouth as the large cock in my ass begins to glide in and out.
“Fuck, that feels good” is groaned from behind me—Jace saying the words, I’m thinking.
My back arches as I try and make my ass meet each time Jace thrusts inside me. But the hottest part is that every time I’m pushed forward, I’m forced to swallow Alec’s dick in a dirty rhythm.
Jace and Alec fuck me, one in my mouth, one in my ass, as I hear Cole and Reed offer dirty praises.
“Let them use you, baby, like a good whore.”
“Yeah, warm her up until she’s begging like a good girl.”
I’m fucked slow and steady— no rush, just pleasure.
I feel Reed’s hands glide over my tits. “Look at those tits bounce. I’m going to fuck them and come all over your face, whore. And you’re going to thank me.”
“Oh, fuck,” Jace growls. “Our girl liked that. Her ass just gripped my cock so tight.”
Jace grips my ass cheeks, kneading, pulling the cheeks apart to watch himself glide in and out as Alec holds my hair tighter. But just as I begin to mewl, begging for more, I feel Reed’s mouth against my clit.
Jesus Christ.
My body bucks, but neither Jace nor Alec give an inch as Reed eats my pussy from underneath me. Fuck, it’s too much. His mouth is sealed over my clit, sucking and licking like he’s starving as my body bounces in rhythm between the other two fucking me senseless.
I can’t take it. My palm slaps the blanket, needing and wanting more. Fuck, make me come. I want to come.
Reed growls into my pussy, and my arms buckle, but Alec’s hand closes around my throat, keeping me upright as Jace grips my hips from behind.
“Take it,” Cole growls. “You will fucking take it all until we say otherwise. Do you hear me?”
Alec uses my hair to pull me off his cock.
“Yes, Daddy.”
The minute I answer, Alec thrusts back inside my mouth as the others continue their assault. Fuck, Reed’s tongue feels so good. I try to slide my knees open over the blanket to spread my legs and get closer to his face because he’s teasing me, barely flicking my clit with his tongue before sucking it and then pulling away again.
Fuck. I want it.
His fingers part my wet lips, opening my pussy as he presses his tongue flat against me. I want to moan, but Alec’s hand is forceful, bobbing my head as he fucks my face faster.
“Fuck yes, let me have that throat. Choke on my cock, gorgeous.”
Oh god, Jace picks up speed too, bucking harder into my body, making me quiver. Oh, he fucks my ass so good, filling it with his giant cock, punishing the tender flesh around my hips as he digs his fingers in.
I’m gripping the fabric of the blanket for dear life, wanting and needing to come as I’m fucked over and over, again and again. Finally, Reed stops teasing and seals his mouth over my pussy and devours me. He’s taking no prisoners, licking, sucking, moving his tongue in a figure eight as he groans, pawing at my tits.
I just need…I need…fuck…
“Enough,” thunders through the heavens.
There it is…exactly what I need. Cole.
The gasp that pulls from my body feels like a small earthquake inside of me because suddenly Reed stops. Leaving me feral. Seriously fucking feral.
I whine, reaching for his hand, needing it on me. Wanting him to rub me again.
But he won’t. His voice is dangerously sexy in my ear.
“This is what you left behind. You decided this wasn’t enough. We weren’t enough…look at the way they want you.”
I blink about a hundred times as I stare at the scene.
“Fuck me,” I beg, rolling over and spreading my legs for them to see.
“Oh, you dirty bitch. Let Daddy help you.”
Reed hovers over me for too brief a moment and licks my cunt before he stands again, grinning.
“I loved you. They loved you. And you left…”
Spit glistens over my lips, my mouth agape as I breathe hard, eyes fluttering, trying to connect to Cole’s. He’s standing like a god next to Alec, muscular arms crossed over his chest, hard cock bobbing against his lower stomach. My fingers dart to my center, but my wrist is caught by Jace as Cole slaps my clit.
“Behave.”
My entire body shudders.
“Princess, that’s not how you come today,” Cole levels. “Because you haven’t opened your present.”
I’m shaking my head as I try to tug his hand back. “No, I do love them…but we didn’t work. We couldn’t work. What we wanted didn’t fit.”
Reed smirks against my cheek, kissing it gently. “Looks like making it fit was our specialty.”
The slender box I crawled over is lifted from the bed, and I watch Cole opening it as he keeps his eyes on me.
The minute it’s revealed, my entire body heats—no fucking way. Oh my god.
“Is that a—” I rasp, still breathing hard.
“Spreader bar?” Reed smirks, finishing my sentence. He’s come close now, pressing his soft lips against my rib cage. “Yeah, Sunshine. It is. See, Alec wants you wide open so he can watch that pretty pussy come so hard it spills down your ass. And they”—he lifts his chin toward Cole and Alec—“need leverage. They’re gonna fill your cunt like the dirty little slut you are. Together. While Jace takes your ass again and I straddle that pretty little mouth.”
Fuck. I asked for this. It was one of those nights where we’d fucked and then fucked some more, and while we were still all half-delirious and tangled up, I’d said I wanted to know what two of them felt like inside me while the other two took my ass and mouth.
I wanted all my guys inside me. Correction, I want all my guys inside me—filling me, fucking me, until I can’t scream loud enough to god in appreciation.
The click of the bar makes my shoulders jump, but not a sound comes out of me because Cole’s grabbed my ankle, and he’s dragging me down the bed toward him and Alec.
“Let’s get you ready,” Alec growls, running his hands up between my legs, pressing them open.
He brings the soft cuff to my ankle, wrapping it around just as Cole does the same. Holy shit. I will not be able to close my legs. I’m completely at their mercy.
My eyes are glued to Alec’s profile, watching the attention he gives. His deft fingers ghost my skin before he fastens the strap and tightens it just enough to make me smirk. I lick my lips as our eyes meet, and he gives me a wink.
“I like you like this.”
I shiver before turning my attention to Cole, who’s rougher on the other side. He tugs me forward, making me draw my leg back toward myself like the brat I like to be.
His jaw tenses before he tightens the fuck out of the strap, then grabs the middle of the bar and flips me the fuck over.
I scream, face-planted into the softness of the comforter just before my ass rings with heat.
“Do you need another?”
I shake my head, then suck in a breath, feeling his lips soothe the spot he just smacked.
This time, he gently rolls me over onto my back, and I prop up on my elbows, taking it all in—my legs strapped to the silver bar, only able to move in sync and completely incapable of closing, and the men who are about to fuck my pussy at the same time. I drop my head back, feeling flushed and turned on.
“God, you look beautiful,” Alec croons as Reed takes my nipple into his mouth. “She does. But she’ll look even better with our cum on her.”
“Cutie—” Jace’s voice calls my attention up to my left as he sits down on the bed, running his fingers through my hair, pulling an appreciative moan. “—Are you ready for this? They’re gonna stretch you, and if it hurts, all you gotta do is say stop. Okay? But we know you want this, and so do we.”
I nod and suck in a breath as he runs his rough hand over my bare breast and continues.
“I’m gonna lift you up now and lay underneath you. But just relax because I’ll do the work.” He tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear. “I promise to be rough, so just breathe, baby.” His lips press to my cheek, whispering his words into my skin. “Cuz I know you like it.”
Yes. Yes. And fucking yes.
Suddenly, my head is shifted so that I’m face-to-face with Reed.
“That means I get to fill that pretty little throat with cum. But first—” He dives down, sealing his mouth over mine, and I can’t help but tangle my hands in his hair.
My body shifts as we kiss because Jace is lifting me, positioning himself underneath me. I melt into everything, my body pliable and manipulated. Cole tugs at the bar, and I smile as Reed pulls away, diving back to bite my lip, then lick it before he cradles my jaw.
“The way I’m going to abuse this mouth will make us both go to hell.” He looks past me. “J, keep your arms around her because I’m straddling her face.”
“Heaven’s overrated,” I pant, smiling back as I feel Jace’s arms circle around me.
Before he can say anything else, the fucking bar clicks, and my legs spread wider.
“Holy shit,” I exhale.
I should have stretched for this. How will I explain this when I end up at the hospital with a sprained poosayy. Sorry, Doc, I was being double-stuffed like an Oreo and assumed that the one yoga class I took one hundred and fifty-four years ago was sufficient preparation.
Jace and Reed work out their spaces as my mind becomes one singular thought—fill me.
The bar is raised, taking my legs with it as my hips are lifted, and Jace slides back inside my ass.
“Oh, fuck,” I groan.
Cole leans in and brings his finger to my clit, running it slowly over the swelling bud, making my body buck as he rims my entrance. I know it’s him, even though all I can see is Reed’s cock, because he says, “Alec, look how fucking wet our girl is.”
“Open,” Reed commands, and I do, immediately tasting his precum at the back of my throat. He wasn’t lying about abusing my throat because he’s already fucking my face like a man possessed.
“I fucking love this mouth,” he growls as Jace speaks words into my neck. “I want to see my cum drip from your ass and mix with what they fill you with.”
Cole thrusts his finger inside me, and I suck in a breath. The filthy sound of my desire sings as he thrusts in and out before adding more fingers. The sound of waves crashes below us, but all I can hear is my own panting because Cole won’t stop. He adds more fingers, and I’m pretty sure he has four inside me.
“Let that cunt stretch for us.”
“Don’t stop,” I plead as Reed’s cock leaves my lips, my body writhing against Jace’s cock inside me.
I’m so wet that I’m dripping as he fucks me faster, and I feel a different set of fingers.
Oh my god. They’re both finger-fucking me, Cole and Alec.
I’m moaning, begging the only way I can while sucking Reed’s cock and staring up at the smirk on his face. He pulls his cock out of my mouth again, holding it before he slaps my mouth with it.
“Use your manners, slut.”
“Fuck me…Please,” I blurt out, watching everything unfold. I don’t care if I’m begging. I want it so bad. But ghost Reed shakes his head, forcing my chin back so I have to watch, and holding my wrists with one hand.
I’m a prisoner to voyeurism. And horniness.
Reed touches the head of his cock to my lips, so I open my mouth, but he raises his brows. God, the feeling of my pussy being stretched and Jace fucking my ass is making my head spin, and I can’t form words anymore.
So I open my mouth wider, pleading for it with my eyes. Reed bites his bottom lip and winks, feeding it to me slowly, further and further down my throat until tears prick at my eyes.
Thank you. That’s the only look on my face, and it’s received because he’s pushing in and out, over and over.
The bar clicks again, and my legs are impossibly spread just as I feel the tip of a cock at my entrance. Oh, fuck. I feel drunk, completely out of control with want.
Jace slows, as does Reed, who looks over his shoulder.
“Oh fuck, Sunshine. You should see your cunt. It’s never been wetter.”
I’m lost to the sensations because my arms are pinned inside Jace’s. So I claw at his legs, whimpering around Reed’s cock just as the first hard cock presses inside. Jace moans, feeling the sensation as Reed cradles my jaw gently.
“Easy, baby.”
I relax my jaw, realizing I sucked hard.
The cock in my pussy begins moving, finding a rhythm with Jace. Reed pulls his cock out of my mouth, jerking it in front of my face.
“Let them hear how much my little slut likes it.”
“Fuck. Yes…I want more. I want all of you.”
Groans and growls erupt around me, and I feel another cock at my entrance. Oh god. I can barely breathe, panting as I’m fucked, while staring down at where the wet sounds of Reed’s cock’s chasing its release.
“You want me in your mouth? Or on your face?”
“Oh…fuck.” I’m quivering, completely overrun by desire.
Sex is thick in the air, debauchery our only guide.
I blink, speaking the only truth I know.
“I want your cum to drip down my throat and then to cover my face.”
“Deep breath” is all that’s said in response before my pussy is completely filled, stretched with the most delectable sting.
“Yes,” I moan before lifting my head, chasing Reed’s cock back into my mouth.
There is no restraint, no composure. I am fucked. Cocks punish and pound my cunt, fighting for space as Jace thrusts inside my ass, fucking me harder and harder, angling underneath me to go deeper.
My fingernails dig into his tatted thighs as my body builds. They fuck me rougher, wet sounds ringing out between my mouth and cunt. It feels like an out-of-body experience, only tethered by their dirty praises and degradations.
I’m climbing higher and higher, moaning and begging around Reed’s cock for them to let me come.
“Your pussy was meant for this, gorgeous. Do you feel us inside you, rubbing your fucking soft walls.”
Oh god.
“Suck that cock like a good whore. Take it all. Gimme that throat. Swallow it back.”
All my wind is cut off as Reed closes his hand around my throat to feel how deep he is.
“Fuck.” Jace groans, biting my shoulder like an animal, fucking me senseless. “I can’t get enough of this tight ass. You feel how deep I am. We’re all rubbing inside you.”
The vision of their cocks rubbing heads, pressing against each other and inside me, makes my mind explode and my eyes flutter back.
Jace’s hand slides down over my clit, and that’s all it takes. My body shakes and writhes as every muscle I have suddenly contracts harder and harder until I’m seized.
“She’s coming,” thunders out, but I’m barely aware of anything else other than the orgasm that is rocketing through my body.
Reed takes his cock from my mouth, and a strangled scream erupts in a “Yesssssssss,” mixed with their secondhand “Cunt” … “Ass” … “Tits” … “Mouth.”
I feel one of the cocks inside me pull out, and I know it’s Alec because he wants to watch.
Jace and Cole return and hammer inside me just as Reed takes my mouth again. I’m a pile of mush being fucked beyond measure, still riding a high and suddenly climbing again.
“That’s it, cutie. Give us one more. Soak our dicks.”
“Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck.” Cole groans, and Jace follows suit until they’re fucking me with no care in the world other than to come.
“My turn,” Reed grits out before thrusting his cock into my mouth.
They’re fucking and fucking and fucking me until I feel my body coming all over again, and this time, they follow. Reed grips my hair so hard it stings as he hammers inside my mouth before pulling back to the tip and letting his warm cum spurt inside my mouth. But just like he promised, he doesn’t stay there, pulling out and pressing the tip to my face, letting it drip over my mouth and cheeks as I feel Cole coming inside my pussy.
“Fuck, princess.”
He pulls out too, letting some of his cum drip down my pussy and mix with what Jace has left to leak from my asshole.
“Oh god,” I exhale as Reed moves off me, along with Jace and Cole.
Alec comes into view, jerking his hard length, tugging it faster and faster, eyes hooded as he stares at my used body until his stomach contracts, and he releases all over my tits, covering me.
I’m soaked in their cum. Perfectly used.
Reed smears his finger over my cheek as Alec does the same to my tits. I shiver, looking around them, still overcome by the moment. I feel Cole dip inside my pussy, making me gasp as Jace runs his finger over my ass.
And before I can process, one by one, they feed me their cum, letting me suck their fingers as they stare down with love and appreciation.
“Worshipped,” ghost Reed whispers. “There is no other definition.”
