She felt like she was finally where she belonged.
Within moments she drifted off to sleep.
Chapter 18
Megan smiled as she slipped into an elegant strapless black dress that reached mid-thigh. Nick and Sean were going to love her in this outfit. They would be picking her up in fifteen minutes to take her somewhere special, according to them. They were punctual in everything they did.
The past six months had passed in a blur. Nick, Megan, and Sean had been almost inseparable when they weren’t working. Megan still went out with the girls and Nick and Sean enjoyed the company of their male friends on occasion at Spirits. The rest of the time they did everything together.
Megan brushed her hair that now reached her freckled shoulders. She swore that the two men in her life had kissed every last one of the freckles and she smiled. She had fallen deeply in love with both men and couldn’t imagine life without them.
How does that work? she wondered once again. Then she decided she didn’t care. As long as she could be with both of them, she was happy.
Her grandmother had been the only one to ever truly love her until Nick and Sean.
Her work phone rang and she pulled it out of her purse. It was Mitchell Sawyers, her boss, but he would just have to wait until Monday. To him everything was an emergency. He considered her his gal Friday and she’d had to establish boundaries with him, which unfortunately he still tried to cross at times. She let the call go to voicemail and tucked the phone back inside her purse.
All those months ago, when she’d started dating Nick and Sean, she had insisted on getting a job on her own terms, utilizing her skills. She never let the two men pay her way. She’d found a decent job at Mitchell’s medical supplies company as his assistant, and made enough to pay her rent and other bills. She still lived with Drew and still walked to work and took public transportation when she wasn’t with her twins.
Her grandmother would have been proud.
Sean and Nick had wanted to take care of her, but they’d eventually come around to her way of thinking—she needed to be on equal footing with them. She might not make anything close to what they made—okay, her yearly salary was the equivalent of their pocket change—but she preferred paying her own way. She did let them pay when they went out to dinner, a Broadway play, or the ballet, among other activities.
“Where are you going tonight?” Drew put on a dangly chandelier earring as she stepped into the doorway of Megan’s room.
“Sean said it would be a surprise.” Megan glanced at the clock on her bureau. “He and Nick should be here at any moment.”
As she leaned against the doorframe, Drew gave an envious smile. “You are so damned lucky, Megan. What I wouldn’t give for a pair of hot men taking care of my every desire.”
Drew was one of the few people who knew about Megan’s relationship with the twins. Everyone else thought that Megan was dating one of the twins, which inevitably was Sean. Sometimes Drew would accompany Nick to various functions just for appearances’ sake. Sean and Nick liked Drew, which was a plus.
Megan grinned at her friend. “You never know. You just might find your perfect men one of these days.”
“A girl can dream.” Drew shook her hair back. “And it is a lovely dream.”
Someone knocked on the front door, the sound carrying through the apartment.
“I’ll get it.” Drew whirled and headed for the door.
Megan had already clasped Nick and Sean’s gift around her wrist. It was a diamond-studded white gold rope bracelet. She picked up a white gold and diamond necklace that looked like diamonds sparkling on a silver web, also a gift from her twin hunks. It was one of the most beautiful things she’d ever seen.
“It’s Jensen,” Drew called out. “The Rolls is here.”
“Tell him I’ll be down in five minutes,” Megan replied. It took her precisely five minutes to put on red lipstick; slide into red four-inch heels that really popped in contrast to the black dress; give Drew a quick hug goodbye; and make it down to the car.
Sean leaned against the car, his arms casually folded across his chest as he gave her a look that told her he more than liked what he saw. Jensen held the door open and Megan slid onto the seat next to Nick, and Sean climbed in to sit on Megan’s opposite side.
Nick gave her a deep kiss and drew away, his heated gaze taking her in. “You get more beautiful every day.” The way he said it made it easy to believe that he meant every word.
She smiled at him and turned to face Sean. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her with a hunger matched only by his brother. He brushed his knuckles along her cheekbone as he drew away, his eyes holding hers. “You are precious, sweetheart.”
Megan never remembered feeling so loved in all her life. Her grandmother had been the only other person in her life who had truly loved and cared for her. Her grandmother would probably have been scandalized by Megan’s relationship. At the same time, however, she knew that her grandmother had always wanted Megan to be happy.
And she certainly was.
Nick and Sean had never said the words, but she knew in her heart that they cared for her deeply.
The two men flanked her as they took her into the first restaurant they’d ever taken her to. The lighting was dim, the ambiance perfect for couples—or trios in their case. They were seated in the same private corner.
As they sat at the table, each man put his palm one of her knees—Nick on the left, and Sean on the right. As one they slid her dress up her thighs and when she looked from one to the other she saw the matching heat in their gazes.
They removed their hands to pick up their menus, and Megan looked at her own. It was hard to concentrate on anything with two incredibly hot men to either side of her. Two men she loved with all her heart.
Dinner was exceptional and the sexual tension between them was high. She couldn’t wait to return to their penthouse and the bed they shared with her when she stayed the night. Sean and Nick each had their own rooms, but when she was there the three of them slept together with Megan sandwiched between them. It was a feeling like none other in the world.
When the dishes were cleared away, the server brought a bottle of champagne, poured each of them a glass, and set the remainder of the bottle in a silver ice bucket. As the server left, she sensed something was somehow different.
It unnerved her a little and she felt somewhat off balance. Nick lifted her left hand from her lap and both Sean and Nick held it. Sean reached into his dinner jacket and from an inside pocket he brought out a small jeweler's box in black velvet.
Her heart felt like it had jumped into her throat and it throbbed there.
“Megan.” Sean looked serious. “I love you with all my heart.”
Nick squeezed her hand, drawing her attention to him. “I love you with everything I have,” he said.
“I’m in love with both of you.” She met Nick’s gaze then turned to look into Sean’s eyes. “You both mean everything to me.”
Sean opened the velvet box. Smaller diamonds surrounded a huge, three-carat stone. It was elegant and beautiful, and it about made her heart stop. She held her other hand over her mouth, unable to believe what she was seeing.
“Will you marry us?” Sean said with a sincerity that caused her heart to squeeze. “On paper you can only marry one of us, but in a private ceremony Nick and I will make you our wife.” He paused. “If you’ll have us.”
“Yes.” She didn’t hesitate. “Yes, I will marry you both.”
Sean slipped the ring onto her finger and she took Sean’s left hand in her right, and Nick’s right hand in her left. Tears squeezed from her eyes. “I love you both so much.”
Nick cupped the back of her head and kissed her with a passion that swept her off of her feet. She didn’t even care if anyone noticed when Sean did the same.
Their love filled her, giving her life a sense of true meaning, a happiness that would be with them always.
She kissed each of them
again and they each slipped an arm behind her back so that she felt surrounded by them, a part of them.
Megan had found her home, her true home, and a life filled with all the love she could ever ask for.
