There's a soft knock at the door in the morning, and this time I'm not pretending to sleep. In fact, I barely slept, with Jeremiah and Ezekiel's conversation echoing in my head over and over again. And along with that, my own thoughts, my own doubts, my own warnings. It was foolish to stay, but I'm sure I'll have breakfast before I go.

"Come in," I say out loud.

Ezequiel opens the door with a glass of orange juice and a paper bag in his hand, and Jeremiah walks in with a plate. I smile at the smell and sight of the pancakes and bacon.

—I might stay again if the room service was this good.

I'd slap myself. I spent almost half the night reminding myself to stop saying those things, and it's the first thing that comes out when I see them. I don't feel like I know who I am around them, and maybe that's what scares me the most. I watched my mother lose herself to too many men in my life to accept losing any of myself.

"First thing in the morning, Laury?" Ezequiel says. "At least have break

    "I can't believe preschool starts tomorrow," I say as I watch the children run back and forth on the beach.Shawn brings them water in a bucket. My sons, Liam and Tristan, are scooping sand so Shawn can pour water into it and make a sort of trench around the crooked castle they've built. And Kamila's daughter, Alicia, is cleverly sitting in the sand, instructing them what to do. Shawn's hair falls on his face for the tenth time, and he has to stop pouring water to move it away. It makes me laugh that he refuses to cut his hair until Law and Sarah allow him to stay home from school."He only begged me three times today not to have to go to school," Sarah sighs. "So I guess that's an improvement from ten times yesterday.""I feel sorry for him," Kamila says. "His whole lives, they've only known each other. Now he has to go to school and hang out with a bunch of strangers. We should have planned this better."Sarah scoffs. “I didn’t plan it at all. That’s how I got pregnant last damn sum

    Alone now, I sit at the vanity and open the black box Jackson brought. We agreed to attend the ceremony with the rings we bought. A sigh escapes me when I see the ring inside. I put it on, my vision blurring with tears for a moment, until I close my eyes and hold them back. Then, I admire the ring on my finger. Half open at the front, it circles the back of my finger until it ends in a diamond on the left. On the right, the white gold divides into bands, ending in a diamond above and another below the center one on the other side. Perfect for representing us.I take a deep breath and stand up, ready to leave when Heather comes in to tell me it's time. Following her through the different rooms of the botanical garden, I'm surprised Heather was able to get this spot on such short notice. The only thing I specifically said I wanted was a garden. A beautiful garden. She got me a building full of them. Since it's been raining all week, we can't have the ceremony outdoors, but with how beau

    I complain. “Sometimes they drive me crazy. Maybe they don’t think it’s necessary. Maybe they don’t want to do it because it doesn’t seem fair to them that others can get married legally. Maybe they think it’s too soon for something like this. I have no idea. That’s why I ask.”“First of all,” Ezekiel begins, “if it’s important enough for you to bring up, especially right now, then it’s clearly something you want. And that’s all I need to know to want it too. Second, I don’t care that it’s illegal because you’re ours, and anyone who tries to tell me otherwise won’t have any teeth for long. Third, nothing in this world could make me turn down the chance to hear you tell me and Jer that you want us forever.”I smile and he touches his lips to mine. Then my gaze shifts to Jeremiah.I'm usually the best at saying things, but honestly, I can't say it better than Zek. So, tell us when and, well, what to wear, and we'll be the hot guys waiting at the end of the aisle. Or whatever you're doin

    He closes the distance between them and puts his hands on her hips. "I'm telling you, you look so sexy that if I wasn't dying to hear you promise, I'd be dragging you back to the hotel room to fuck you right now.""Okay," Sarah says cheerfully. "It's time to go."I smile, watching Kamila try to hold back her smile as Sarah leads me. “Hey, I wanna see where that takes me.”She laughs and then says, "I'm sure if you want to hear dirty words, there are two men more than willing to give them to you somewhere around here."As if his words evoked them, the moment we turn the corner, there are those two men. My two men. Both wearing button-down shirts—Ezekiel's gray and Jeremiah's white—and both wearing black pants. They laugh at what Law says, but then their eyes shift to me at the same time, as if whatever their glances make me notice when they're around also affects them.It's the first time they've seen me in my bridesmaid dress, and the look on both of their faces tells me how sexy they

    Jeremiah chuckles behind me, pressing himself closer to me. I turn to look at him over my shoulder, and he brings his lips close to mine."Hey, I'm making my own deals on my own terms," he says when we part ways.—Oh, tell me?——Or rather an exchange.—I raise an eyebrow. “Continue.”You agree to move in with us, and I promise I'll tell you I love you every time before you walk out the door. And again when you come home.—Move...in with you?—"I don't think you quite understand me when I say this week has been a real misery," Ezekiel says, making me look at him, especially because of the sad tone of his voice. "It felt like everything was empty without you. Every conversation, the house, me.""And me," Jeremiah adds.I'm not going back to that. So, either we move in with you, or you come home with us. Those are the only two options. Although, well, we already have a pool and a room you can use as an office, so…"Is that a hint of bribery I hear?" I chuckle."Whatever it takes." He smi

    There they are, just what I needed. And they do just what I need. But then Jeremiah moves behind me, his movements telling me he's undressing. I want to turn around and look, but my eyes are fixed on Ezekiel, realizing I need words other than the ones Jeremiah just gave me. I need words from Ezekiel. I need his comfort. I need him to erase all the bad. I need him.Jeremiah's cock squeezes my ass as he wraps his arms around me as Ezekiel walks toward us, completely naked. For a moment, I consider saying fuck it and groveling, demanding to be taken to bed right now, but when Ezekiel reaches us and I tilt my head back so our eyes meet, I know this has to happen, for both of us. Because his apology is there, in his gaze, before I even open my mouth. He brings his forehead close to mine, and our chests bump together with my labored breathing and his deep one.This last week without you has felt like an eternity, Laury. I didn't sleep all night and I fought with myself all day. Plus, Jer to
