Scarlett's POV
After we finally collapsed, tangled together in a mess of limbs, sweat, and cum, sleep claimed me in fits. I kept waking up crying, only for one of them to pull me closer, kiss my tears away, and remind me they were still here.
When the first gray light of dawn crept through the windows, my heart shattered all over again.
Leo and Leonard were already moving quietly around the room, pulling on their clothes and heavy boots. Liam stayed in bed with me, his massive body curled protectively around mine, refusing to let me go even as his brothers prepared to leave.
I sat up slowly, the sheet pooled around my waist, tears already spilling fresh down my cheeks. Leo finished buckling a strap on his arm and turned to me, sea-blue eyes filled with a storm of love and determination.
He came over and knelt by the bed, taking my hand. "We'll be back before you know it, Scar. This war is nothing compared to coming home to you."
