Zarek reached out and pulled her right off the velvet sofa.
He sat down on the thick, soft rug and pulled her directly into his lap, wrapping his massive arms entirely around her. Torian dropped to his knees behind Zarek and wrapped his huge arms around both of them.
Ren and Caspian pressed tightly against her sides, their warm hands rubbing her arms and shoulders. Syris and Kaelen closed the circle, sitting right in front of her, resting their hands on her knees.
They pulled her into a massive, unbreakable group hug. They created a literal fortress of muscle, heat, and pure love completely around her.
The kind of suffocation she wanted.
Inside the safety of their arms, Roxy closed her eyes. The terrible, freezing cold that had gripped her in the park slowly began to melt away. She could hear Zarek's strong, steady heartbeat thumping against her cheek.
