“Well, we questioned it there for a second,” I said.
“Could you blame me?” she asked as she eyed Ethan and Chance.
“No one can blame you one bit,” Ethan said. “But I’m glad we were able to convince you differently.”
“Things aren’t gonna be easy, Kyra,” I said. “Couples fight and get into disagreements and it’s gonna happen here. It won’t be perfect and there’ll surely be days where we wondered why the hell we’re doing this in the first place.”
“Aren’t we trying to convince her to stay?” Rowan asked, grinning.
“All I’m saying is, we’re all committed to make this work. Every single one of us. We’ll find our way, just like everyone else does. All you have to do is say yes.”
We all looked up at her while her eyes danced around us. I felt like a little boy sitting around a story time circle, anxiously waiting for the ending of the book to come. I locked my eyes onto her as a silence settled all around the house, but the moment that trademark smile of hers rolled across her face, I knew it was finally happening.
I knew our Christmas miracle was about to come to fruition.
“Yes,” she said. “I would love to move in with you guys.”
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR - KYRA
I simply couldn’t believe my luck. I was sitting in this chair with six beautifully rugged men sitting around me and all I could think about was the decision I’d just made. It was honestly everything I’d ever wanted. From that first night I spent with them, all the way up until now, I’d been fighting this feeling deep inside me. This fear that I was asking for way too much. I sighed and closed my eyes, allowing the gravity of what I had just decided to flutter over my body.
The pieces from my day were slowly sinking into place.
That was why the boys wanted me to go get the coffee. They’d asked my father for his permission. That was why his eyes had been sparkling at me all day. Because he knew what they were about to show me. That meant my father approved of the step I was taking with my life and I simply couldn’t believe it.
My protective father was about to hand his only daughter over to six different men.
I felt someone wrap their arms around me before I was pulled from the chair. I placed my face into the crook of his neck and immediately realized it was Owen. His broad arms were holding me close and his heart was beating rapidly against my chest and I took it all in. I was so overwhelmed with this gift from them that I couldn’t speak. All I could do was go around the room and hug them.
I’d been gifted a new home with six loving men to fill it. I’d been gifted the ability to follow my dreams as well as take care of my father. I’d been gifted my best friends as life partners and I allowed myself to be swept up in the moment before I landed back onto my feet.
I had no idea how they furnished this house so quickly and I honestly didn’t care. They somehow managed to make this entire place perfect and that was all I cared about. I took Rowan’s hand and led him out of the room, listening as all the brothers followed us back into the kitchen. I made my way back to the sliding doors that opened out onto the back porch, my eyes grazing over the hot tub that was built into the porch out back.
“We’re gonna have a lot of fun in that thing,” I said.
“And I can’t wait to share it with you,” Rowan said.
“I still have no idea how you guys pulled this off,” I said. “Buying and furnishing a home in such a short amount of time.”
“Well, the house was a foreclosed property,” Harper said. “Well-maintained, but the furniture was already here to begin with.”
“We can buy all new furniture if you want,” Chance said. “That’s completely up to you.”
“I don’t know,” I said. “It somehow fits everything that’s happened in a weird sort of way.”
“You don’t want to pick out your own furniture?” Blake asked.
“I mean, if you’re gonna twist my arm about it,” I said, grinning.
“We can start the shopping whenever you want,” Ethan said. “And for now
, we’ve got furniture to live with until we can get some shit in here.”
“I like that dining room set, though,” I said. “It’s beautiful. Don’t get rid of it.”
“Whatever you say, Tink,” Owen said.
I stood in the massive living area and looked out over the porch. The nighttime sky had blanketed this new mountain we’d settled on, but I couldn’t take my eyes off that hot tub. The nights we’d all spend together in nothing but our bathing suits. Maybe a few moments where I’d sneak off and slip in naked. I could imagine myself simply sitting on one of their laps, allowing their cocks to slide in deep while we watched the sunset fall over the view of the city that sat right in our backyard.
