Accepting Eva [Slick Rock 8] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) by Becca van Page A

together, warming the liquid, and then his brother began to work on Eva’s right leg while Quin began at her foot.
    He could see her toes curling under as the muscles in her foot and leg spasmed, and he knew she must be hurting a lot. She gave a cry as Gray’s fingers worked into the muscles in her calf, pushing hard and deep. Pierson just wished he could take her pain away and suffer it himself. He hated that Eva was going through so much discomfort and tried to help the only way he could think of. Smoothing his hands up and down her arms and massaging her shoulders, he crooned nonsensical noises, trying to take her mind from her suffering.
    “Shit,” Gray snapped. “Her muscles are too far gone. I can’t get them to let go.”
    “Heat,” Eva sobbed.
    “I’ll run a bath.” Quin frowned at Eva as she arched when another bout of torment assailed her.
    “Hurry,” Pierson growled.
    “I know,” Quin called back over his shoulder. “I hate seeing her in such agony, too.”
    Pierson sighed with relief when he heard water running in the tub, but Gray didn’t let up on kneading her leg as he tried to get her muscles to stop spasming. Before long Quin called from the other room, “Bring her in.”
    Pierson shifted out from behind Eva, and when he had his feet on the floor, he bent over the bed, scooped her up into his arms, and carried her to the bathroom. He lowered her into the water, careless of the fact that she still had on her shirt, bra, and panties. Once he let her go, he began to strip off. The tub was a large spa bath, more than capable of holding all of them without being cramped. When he was naked he climbed into the tub and pulled her onto his lap. Quin and Gray quickly removed their clothes and hopped in with them.
    Another cry emerged from her mouth, and her whole body arched with distress. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he tried to hold her steady while Quin and Gray began to work on her again. The water was slick with oil, which made it easier for his brothers to massage her skin and knead her contracting muscles.
    After what seemed like an interminable amount of time, Eva slumped against him. Her body was tired from fighting the convulsive muscles for so long. The muscles in her leg had stopped spasming, thank God. Sighing with relief that Eva was no longer in pain, he pulled her in tight against his chest and she huffed out a breath, resting her head on his shoulder.
    “Are you okay, baby?” Quin asked, his hands and fingers still working on her lower leg.
    “Yeah,” Eva said on an exhale. “Thank you all for helping me. I’m sorry to be such a bother.”
    “Don’t,” Gray bit out then must have realized he sounded angry. “Sorry. You’re no bother, Eva. We just hate it that you have to suffer so much. Is there anything that can be done to stop you from having these debilitating cramps?”
    “No.” Eva rubbed her cheek against Pierson’s pectorals. “There is nothing to be done. All I can do is keep taking magnesium tablets and try not to strain my muscles too much.”
    “Shit,” Quin growled. “We pushed you too hard today, didn’t we?”
    “No!” Eva pressed against his chest and sat up straight. “It has nothing to do with what I did today. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to what brings the cramps on.”
    “Are you sure, darlin’?” Pierson asked, still uncertain he and his brothers hadn’t contributed to her pain.
    “Yeah, I’m sure.”
    “Let’s get you out of the tub, baby,” Quin said and offered her a hand after he stood. “You must be feeling hungry after such a long day.”
    Eva took his hand and let him help her from the bath. The three of them dried her off and dressed her. After Pierson pulled his clothes back on, he grasped her hand and led Eva toward the kitchen.
    “What can I do to help?” Eva asked when he checked and stirred their dinner.
    “Just sit down and relax, darlin’.”
    Quin and Gray entered the kitchen and began to get out
