Emily covered her mouth to smother a giggle as Lyns stuttered and rubbed her hands down her thighs. “I-I am so sorry about that. I shouldn’t have gotten a bouquet that was bigger than me.” She laughed nervously. I could tell that she was almost struck dumb by how handsome my doctor was.
Ian shook his head as he regarded her. “No, it’s okay, I should have been watching where I was going.” His smile was swoon-worthy.
Emily gave me a knowing smile before looking back at the exchange happening in front of us. As if they both remembered there were other people in the room, Lindsey looked toward me and cleared her throat. Dr. Young blinked and faced me again. “All right, you are free to go, be careful with those stitches, and I will see you in a couple of weeks.”
I gave him a flamboyant salute as he turned and walked out the door with one more glance at Lyns. When she turned to me, she widened her eyes. Emily rushed past her, fanning herself while mouthing the wordsOh, my God.
I nodded at her. “I know, he’s hot, isn’t he?” I said and we both dissolved into giggles. Reid huffed beside me, and I turned to him. “Not as hot as you, babe,” I said with a reassuring wink.
He looked at me with a wicked smile. “I think your tally is up to thirty-five now, bunny. Are you trying to get to forty before the day’s up?”
My eyes widened as I looked back at Emily. “Hey, girl! So good to see you!” I said loudly, switching the subject. Heath and Reid both started laughing after that.
A couple of hours later, Heath was pushing my wheelchair down the hallway on our way to the truck. I was finally on my way home. It was no longer the boys’ apartment. It was our home, but not for long. According to the boys, we would be looking for a new home soon. The lease would be up in three months, and they weren’t joking when they said they weren’t going to renew it.
They promised after I was all healed up, we would go look for houses together. The prospect of buying a home with the two men I loved made me happier than I could even try to explain.
Heath refused to let me try to climb in the truck as he picked me up, cradling me, and plopped me in the passenger seat. I caught him with my legs, bringing him closer to me before he could walk away.
I grabbed his shirt and pulled him in for a panty-melting kiss. When he pulled up for air, he looked at Reid as I leaned forward to kiss his neck. “We have created a monster, Reid,” was all he said as I got a shiver out of him. I grinned against his neck. They had no idea.
Chapter Twenty-Seven
Three months later
“We can just set that box in the kitchen,” I told Jill as we lugged boxes full of my dishes through the front door of our new home.
The house had been absolutely perfect when we had looked at it three months ago. It was a cottage-style home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of them was a huge master suite that included a big clawfoot tub I couldn’t wait to soak into.
We had spent the last month renovating certain parts of the house to meet our needs. Like upgrading the shower in the master bath so we could all fit into it comfortably. The spare room we had made into my office. I was officially a published author with Brookes Publishing. I was currently on my second book in the series, with my first book currently climbing the best sellers list.
After my stint in the hospital, my life had fallen into a peaceful rhythm. I was up and walking without anyone hovering within my first week home. We had found this house fairly quickly after. Once we purchased it, the boys started the renovation while I sat back and watched.
They treated me like a porcelain doll for way longer than I wanted them to. I had finally had enough after three weeks of their delicate treatment when I decided I needed to take the reins and show that I wasn’t going to break.
I still giggled when I thought of their faces as they woke up to me riding Heath. It hadn’t taken very much to convince Reid to join in after he saw what I was doing to his friend.
Once they realized that I was obviously up to par, they frequently took advantage. Reid made good on his promise of an erotic spanking as he had me tied to the bed and they took turns doling out the punishment. I would be lying if I said I hadn’t enjoyed every bit of it.
They had taken advantage of my tied-up state that night when they told me that I was going to marry one of them. It wasn’t a question. Neither one of them liked the feeling of almost being kicked out of the hospital because they technically weren’t family. Reid had also told me that he didn’t like the fact that I shared a last name with “that fucker” as he put it.
When I first moved here, the idea of getting married again left a bad taste in my mouth. But now, when I thought of being married to them, I went all soft and mushy inside. I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I couldn’t think of anything better than being their wife.
Since I could only legally marry one of them, the boys had to flip a coin for the honor. Reid pouted his way into a sympathy blow-job when he lost. Although I was technically married to Heath now, they were both my husbands. I wore both of their rings, they both wore mine, and we all changed our last names to Gillup-Hudson.
We’d watched Tom’s court proceedings safely from the comfort of our living room. Apparently, all of the drama that had gone down between us was enough to get the local news station’s attention. They ran a story on what had happened as well as the trial. Tom was going to be going away for a long, long time.
Jill’s lawyer proved to be everything and more as she helped the state try him for multiple counts of fraud, stalking, and two counts of attempted murder. I had tried to find some sympathy for the man I once loved as the judge read the verdict of fifty years, but I couldn’t.
Today was finally moving day, and I was ecstatic to finally be getting my fresh start. I had liked to say that I’d gotten my new beginning when I moved to Florida, but that was a lie. My new life hadn’t started until I had finally accepted myself. It hadn’t started until I met these two amazing men who opened my eyes to so much more. No matter how long I lived, I would never be able to repay them for what they had done for me.
“All right, that’s all of it.” Reid grunted as he and Heath moved our bed into our bedroom. They laid it down on the floor with a huff. I smiled as I walked up to Reid and put my arms around his neck.
“Hello, my bunny,” he said with a grin as he brought his lips to mine.
“Hello, my Viking,” I murmured against his lips. He grunted as he brought his hands down to my ass, squeezing me. I twisted around as I felt Heath come up behind me, caressing my ribs.
“My turn,” he mumbled as he brought our bodies flush together. I could feel his hand leave my side to pull Reid in closer to us. Trapping me between them just the way I like. I sighed as he brought his lips down to mine.
