Super Nova by Jayne Rylon

the man on top of her. “Together, all right?”
    Carver moaned in response. He shuddered. Sally squeezed him tight—both with her arms and her pussy, Kaige would bet, since her echoing cries could only mean she’d surrendered to an epic orgasm. Roman gripped Carver’s ass hard enough to leave bruises, though Meep wouldn’t mind. Barracuda let the smaller man ride out his orgasm on the thick length of his cock before shouting at the metal rafters in their common space and unleashing his own monumental release.
    A couple of the guys recovered enough to support Roman as he yielded to the moment and years of pent-up passion. Bliss pulsed through Kaige with every slam of his heart while he watched contentment blanket his friends. Nothing could make him happier.
    Sally lifted her gaze to his and smiled.
    Kaige shuddered as he pumped jet after jet of come from his cock. He hadn’t realized he’d toed the edge so close. As if he were sixteen again, he was swept away by a massive orgasm that awed him with its intensity and the thoroughness of his ecstasy.
    The only thing that could have made it better would have been pumping into Nola while he watched his friends connect with each other. If they could have shared that bond…
    Another wrench of his spine pulled the last droplets from his balls.
    He leaned against the couch to keep from falling on his face.
    For a moment, he enjoyed the endorphin high. Then reality set in.
    Instead of joining the laughing, exhausted group of friends piled on the floor, replete, he bolted. It wasn’t pretty—or manly—but he didn’t give a shit. Enticement too strong might make him do something he regretted. Because he couldn’t ignore the energy that had travelled between him and Nola today.
    Right before he got to the hallway, leading to his room, Sally’s soft call had him turning toward her. “Kaige?”
    “Yeah, Mustang?”
    “We’ll be here when you figure it out.” She smiled slowly, then stretched like a sleepy kitten instead of a wild horse. “I’m not going anywhere for a long, long time. And for the record, I think she’s great too. Someone I could be friends with.”
    “Thanks.”
    “Do you want to t-talk about it?” Roman shocked the hell out of him by offering to discuss what were sure to be feelings even messier than Carver’s back was at the moment. From the wide-eyed glances winging between the other members of their gang, Nova wasn’t the only one caught off guard. Maybe all this sharing had unlocked more than sexual aspects of their complex relationship.
    “Uh—” He froze.
    “It’s okay if you’re not ready.” Sally laid her hand on Barracuda.
    “I gotta sort some stuff out first.” Kaige twisted his fingers in his dreads, gathering them then letting them fall again.
    “Go.” Eli didn’t command him to his room as some kind of punishment. It was a freedom and an acceptance of their combined needs, even if that meant taking a hiatus. “Why don’t you call the crew? You can say anything to them and not have to worry about stepping on anyone’s toes unintentionally. Go ahead, tell them about your crush.”
    Bryce knocked into Holden with his elbow as both guys smirked. They approved of Nola, or they wouldn’t have encouraged him like this. One hurdle jumped.
    It made Kaige admit to himself without reservations that there had been something special there. An indefinable chemistry.
    That’s what he’d searched for his whole life. A woman who made him feel alive, smart, and special while firing him on all cylinders. Nola could be the one.
    Could he risk finding his soul mate for a life of lust with his garagemates?
    As much as he wanted to strengthen the ties between them, could he be happy with that camaraderie alone? Especially after seeing up close and personal the joy Eli, Alanso and Sally had brought each other once they took their relationship to a sacred place, beyond physical intimacy, or even the bestie status they’d enjoyed in the
