MELANIE “Oh no!” I hurry to my feet, shame heating up my cheeks with bright red colors. I’m suddenly aware of how naked I am, how bare I’ve laid myself in front of these men I vowed to do anything and everything to stay away from. I keep my eyes on the ground as I search relentlessly for my underwear. I can feel their gazes burning the skin of my back. “This was a f*****g mistake.” It’s a curse underneath my breath, but I know they can hear me. Not that I care much about that. Right now, Penelope is my main priority. “Are you there, mummy?” Shit. I turn around to find the brothers fully dressed, besides Cassian. Val had brought me here in my underwear, what the hell am I supposed to do now? I sure as hell can’t show up to the door dressed like this. I’m not even dressed
