“Two weeks will cover two of those places,” Lief says, stroking my calf. “Amsterdam can wait.”
“Or perhaps we should start there. Skiing is what has to wait. It’s summer,” Hunter muses. “Being out of the country will be pleasant. It’s been years since we’ve taken time off and I agree we can delay Stefan like this.”
“While having your hands all over me,” I remind them.
“No need to sweeten the pot, baby doll.” Chase kisses my neck. “Unless you’re angling to have all of us tonight.”
“Teasing me with a good time, Chase?”
Hunter turns my chin to face him. “This makes our relationship serious. No touching Stefan or anyone else after this.”
“I don’t need anyone else,” I say softly. “But just because I met your dad, doesn’t mean you’re meeting mine.”
“We’ll settle for meeting your brother,” Hunter agrees. “But this will change things.”
“We already live together,” I say, twirling my hair.
I turn to Lief, expecting a warning, but he jerks me into the pool with him and kisses me hungrily. I rub over his shoulders. “No warning?”
“You are strong, smart, vicious, and wicked. If anyone can handle us, it’s you,” He assures me. “Maybe you need to warn us.”
“We’re going to have an amazing vacation while making sure we come back and destroy Stefan. But it took a lot of effort not to step on his balls, so if I get the opportunity, I’m taking it.”
Hunter and Chase chuckle and I know we’re okay. They prove it by sharing me all night until I lose track of who’s touching me, who’s where, and just accept that this heaven is my new life. When I wake up between Hunter and Lief with Chase using my belly as a pillow, I smile.
This is my future. I can be a kick-ass psychologist and have them. It’s possible to have both and I don’t think that they’d settle for less. Sure, we have some business to finish, business I’m happy to help with, but I’m willing to take on the world to keep my men.
I’m not ready for a whole lot in life. Meeting Sophie’s kid and admitting my best friend is a real grown-up, next semester, or admitting I love my men. All three of them.
Hunter groans and rolls, nuzzling my neck. “Go back to sleep.”
“And miss out on the three of you all soft and sweet?” I stroke through his hair. “Not a chance.”
“I like waking up to you, dorogaya.” He kisses my throat. “No matter where in the world we do that.”
“So, Monday we’re flying to Amsterdam, right? So I can have all three of you and an adventure? My passport isn’t getting any younger.”
Hunter chuckles. “Sounds like you’re in it for our money.”
“Oh no,” I promise. “I’m in it for the kinky sex and your big dick. Obviously.”
He kisses me softly, then adjusts to be able to kiss me deeper.
Once everyone gets up, we clean up, but I stay in a t-shirt and underwear since I have a feeling I won’t be allowed out of the house. They start adjusting meetings and Chase migrates over to me, almost like he doesn’t notice until he rubs my lower back, then squeezes my butt with a boyish smile.
“You’re getting handsy.”
“Just showing my appreciation for my girlfriend.” He kisses my cheek.
I roll my eyes, but can’t stop the smile stretching over my face. I have a feeling they’re going to run that word into the ground quickly. Lief finishes first and steals me to make lunch together. He rubs down my back.
“Is someone going to tell me the plan of action?’
“Aren’t we allowed to surprise you? You are our girlfriend now. Give us some perks,” He teases.
I pout and he strokes over my bottom lip with his thumb. “If I didn’t know you, that would be the most convincing face in the world, pet.”
I nip his finger instead and he grins. “I believe you have a god child to meet and perhaps you’d like to do that first.”
“I do miss Sophie, but if it’s not safe.”
“No way can she be in danger with you around,” Hunter says. “You’re a beast.”
“In a sexy way,” Chase says, elbowing his brother.
Lief winks. “Always been a viper.”
My heart does another flip and I wonder exactly how long it’s going to take before that damn L-word is going to slip between my lips. I wonder if it’s possible not to want them. I wonder if it’s possible to pause life in this happy moment when we’re all together, with a sparkling future ahead of us, and no chance of failure.
But with my three lethal men, I feel like failure is an option, not inevitable and I can’t wait for them to prove me right.
