With a huge grin on my face, I approach him and give him a brief kiss on the lips. “Yep. I already decided life’s too short to waste any moments. Avoiding death and almost losing my daughter served as a good wake-up call.”
Austin eagerly scoops me up in a tight hug and spins me around. I whimper when my shin connects with his knee, sending excruciating pain from the burns through my body.
“Shit, Savannah. I’m sorry.” Austin hurriedly places me back on my feet. “I’m really sorry. I got excited and forgot about your legs.”
“It was an accident, Austin. No worries.” I gently kiss his perfect lips. “Does Mac have her own room? I don’t see a crib or bed in here for her.”
With a roll of his eyes and a deep sigh, Bas replies, “Yes. Before we show you, you should know we put the four idiots in charge of her room.”
Oh no. How bad can it be?
He grabs my hand and leads me out of my room before I can respond.
When he opens the door to Mac’s new bedroom, I stand there in complete amazement. The phrase over the top would be an understatement.
A four post bed dressed in zebra print bedding, covered in stuffed animals and draped with a pink, gauzy canopy stands in the center of the room. The two large windows are covered in the same pink, gauzy material as the canopy. A princess vanity sits to the right of the bed and contains drawer after drawer of headbands and hairbows in every shape, size, and color. A pink and purple table with matching chairs stand to the left with a child size tea set arranged on top.
Everywhere I look I find toys, more stuffed animals and dress up clothing. FAO Schwarz and Pottery Barn Kids threw up in this room – multiple times, it appears.
I turn around with tears in my eyes and my heart bursting at the seams due to the love everyone holds for my little angel. “It’s a little over the top, but she’ll love it. Thank you.”
“If you think this is over the top, wait until you see the playroom in the basement.” Finn shakes his head.
I burst out laughing imagining the spectacle the playroom must be. Jackson, Cooper, Beck, and Chris definitely know how to spoil their little princess. My little girl will grow up wanting for nothing.
The ringing of the doorbell draws us all back downstairs.
When Finn opens the door, Jenna and Brittany stand in the entry with my little angel. Neither of them stays, stating we need some alone time together but they will be by tomorrow to check on us. I thank them for the beautiful room they put together for me. After hugs and goodbyes, they leave as quickly as they arrived and I catch the time on the clock by the front door.
“Hey guys, is the kitchen stocked? I noticed the time and wanted to make dinner. I want to try to get Mac back on schedule tonight,” I yell on my walk to the kitchen to check out the food situation.
“There’s plenty in there,” Bas yells back from the living room. “Finn will come help you make dinner while Austin and I keep Mac entertained.”
We fall in sync for the remainder of the evening. Dinner made. Dishes done. Mac bathed and put to bed. We find our rhythm easily and effortlessly like this is our normal day to day life.
I shouldn’t be surprised, but constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop contributed to my hesitation up until this point. When we snuggle up on the couch to watch a movie and wind down for the night, I decide to take the opportunity for a much-needed confession on my part.
“Before we push play, there’s something I need to say.” At their encouragement, I continue and take a moment to make eye contact with each of them. “First, I want to tell each of you how greatly I love you. I love you from the depths of my soul. I love you so fiercely and completely it scares me. The fact I could have been taken away from this world without telling you breaks my heart. As we continue this journey together, I want you to never doubt my feelings and love for you. From the first day I met you until today, my feelings have only grown. I knew I loved you when you boarded that ferry two years ago, even though I wouldn’t admit it to myself. What we have is special. Epic. Once in a lifetime. True.”
When the guys open their mouths to speak, I raise my hand to stop them. “Let me get this all out please before I forget everything I want to say. Second, I need to tell you I’m sorry I waited so long to commit. Everything about this situation scares me, and to be honest, it still does. What happens if one of you change your minds? What happens if you all change your mind? I don’t know if I could handle the loss. The heartbreak. Regardless of the lingering questions and my fears, I’m all in. One hundred percent committed to making us work.”
When Bas gets up, I get nervous. Was this too much? Does he no longer feel the same?
As he returns with tissues and gently wipes the tears without saying a word, I know there is nothing to fear. After composing myself, I resume bearing my heart and soul to these three amazing, wonderful, perfect men.
“Finally, I want to thank you. Thank you for opening your heart to Mac and accepting her without hesitation or question. Thank you for loving me through it all and not giving up on me when I doubted your love and feelings. I ask you to please be patient and take this one day at a time. Be partners in life with me. Let me love you and share your burdens. Let me stand by your sides as equals. Accept me for my quirks and imperfections as I do you. If you can do all this, I promise I will love you and give you everything I have in me.”
Emotionally raw but relieved I got it all out, I let the guys know I don’t need the words from them because they’ve been open in sharing their feelings since day one – not only through their own words but through their actions, as well. I fall asleep in Austin’s arms on the couch before the movie previews finish playing.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Abiding my wishes, Bas, Austin, and Finn continue to proceed slowly with me – matching my pace. I bared my heart and soul to them six weeks ago. While they remained patient with me, the sexual tension between us quickly reached levels of epic proportion. Despite my efforts to get them to cave and give me what I want, they remained steadfast in their decision to wait.
It took two weeks for Mac and me to recover from the smoke inhalation. Thankfully, it appeared neither of us would suffer any long-term effects. My burns slowly healed and every day they became less painful.
My appointment this morning brought me welcome news. With my burns completely healed, my doctor clears me to resume all normal activity. I can shower and take baths. I can resume my workouts and lose the bandages. The best news – the scarring will be minimal and they can’t find any muscle or nerve damage.
The great news provides the inspiration for my plan to seduce my three stubborn, strong-willed men. After my appointment with Dr. Abbott, I visit the salon for a facial, body wrap, and full body waxing. With everything buffed and polished, I go to my favorite boutique to purchase some sexy lingerie to entice the guys into action. If the skimpy black lace demi-bra and panties with matching lace garter and silk thigh highs can’t snap them out of it, I don’t know what else will.
With the guys at work, I drop Mac off with Jenna for the night. She’s one hundred percent supportive of my plan for the evening. On the way home from Jenna’s, I swing by the grocery store to pick up a bottle of wine and supplies to make my famous Chicken Alfredo. I set the table for an intimate dinner for four and pull out all the stops – tablecloth, linen napkins, candles, and soft music playing in the background.
With the stage set and dinner almost finished cooking, I still need to get myself ready. I decide to text Finn to get an accurate gauge on timing.
Me: When will you guys be home?
Finn: About forty-five minutes. Do you want us to stop for dinner on the way home?
Me: No. I cooked.
Finn: Great. We’ll be home shortly.
I race upstairs to my room and slip into my lingerie. I then put on a figure flattering black wrap dress which will provide easy access. With a quick fluff of my hair and a swipe of tinted lip gloss, I grab my black patent leat
her pumps to complete the outfit.
When I made the decision to go forward with our relationship, the guys insisted I maintain my own room. They wanted me to keep a space of my own in case I needed a break from the demands of three men. While they each still retain their own bedrooms, as well, on most nights any combination of the two can be found in my bed. It seems they developed a schedule on their own for who sleeps with me on any given night.
It works and I don’t question it.
Transitioning into our unconventional relationships proved easier than I expected. If jealousy or conflict exists between the guys, I wouldn’t know. I have yet to witness any.
While rocky moments pop up from time to time, we choose to learn from those situations and move forward. We communicate about absolutely everything. No major decisions get made without the others, and we frequently discuss our relationship and how it’s working out for all of us.
I head back downstairs to wrap up the dinner preparations. Lost in the task, I startle when strong arms wrap around me from behind. “What smells so good?” Bas asks with a kiss on my cheek.
“Chicken Alfredo,” I answer him while I turn off the heat on the stove. “Can you open the bottle of wine in the fridge please?”
As I pour the pasta into a serving dish and top it with the grilled chicken on the cutting board, Finn asks, “Need any more help, pretty girl?”
“Yes, please.” I place the serving dish on the dining room table. “Can you grab the bread from the oven and place it in the basket on the counter?”
With the food on the table, we all sit down to eat.
“What’s the special occasion?” Austin asks while pouring wine into my glass.
“My doctor’s appointment went great this morning. I figured we could celebrate. I got the all clear to resume normal activities,” I casually say before I take a bite of chicken.
“By the way, where’s Mac?” Bas asks when he realizes her seat remains empty.
“Jenna was dying for a visit and took her for the night. I figured you guys wouldn’t mind or I would’ve cleared it with you first,” I answer without giving away any indication of my plans for the evening. What would be the point of seduction if I spilled the beans before we even get that far?
The remainder of dinner passes with casual conversation regarding work and upcoming weekend plans. The guys bought a large play structure and sandbox for Mac. This weekend they plan to get it all put together since the wood chips were placed last weekend. With the nice weather, we all agree she needs more things to do outside in the yard and the playset will get years of use by her and hopefully more children.
Since I cooked, the guys shoo me away from the kitchen to clean up and take care of the dishes. This perfectly lends itself to my plans of seduction and while they occupy themselves in the kitchen, I run upstairs to remove the wrap dress. I head to the bathroom to brush my teeth and give myself a quick once over in the floor length mirror behind the door. After a quick lift of the girls and a straightening of my garter and stockings, I move on to phase two of my evil plan.
I slowly descend the stairs, and as I reach the landing, Austin mumbles under his breath, “Oh, shit.”
All three guys stand and stare at me with mouths and eyes open wide.
Bas reaches up and rub the back of his neck – a sure sign he’s affected. “Baby, did you lose your dress upstairs?”
I can’t help it. I break out into laughter. The expression on his face indicates he truly believes I forgot my dress. “Damn it, Bas. I’m trying to be sexy and seduce you. I took my dress off to show off my sexy new lingerie.”
“You’re definitely sexy, pretty girl. You asked us to go slow. We don’t want you to have any regrets. Are you sure?” Finn says in a calm voice but his body betrays him, his erection noticeable and his eyes hooded with lust.
“Finn, please,” I beg in pure desperation. “I’m done with slow. I’m horny and doing it myself doesn’t cut it anymore. I can only take the edge off – barely.”
“Well, we don’t want you frustrated. How about you and I head upstairs and tweedle dee and tweedle dum over there can join us when they pull their heads out of their asses?” At my nod of agreement, he continues with a diabolical smirk. “Okay, pretty girl, I will give you a three second head start. You better run.”
Damn. Playful Finn is fun. I quickly kick off my shoes and spin around to flee up the stairs. Once I reach the top, Finn laughs. With his long legs, it won’t take a lot of time before he catches up to me. I run as fast as my short legs and laughter will allow. Finn grabs me from behind as I reach the bedroom door, and he launches both of us onto the bed with a bounce.
Catching my breath, I lean in and whisper in his ear, “You caught me. Now what are you going to do with me?”
“I’m going to take you on a wild ride, Ms. Preston. Buckle up and hang on tight. This will be one ride you will never forget.”
As Finn brings his lips to mine, what sounds like a herd of elephants echoes in the hall. With our lips still fused together, both of us chuckle, and I say against Finn’s plush lips, “It took a lot longer than I thought it would for them to get with the program.”
When we resume kissing, Finn shifts his weight to allow him to lay on his side next to me on the bed. His hands explore my stomach, slowly inching upward. He takes my ample breast in his large hand and the exquisite sensation makes my toes curl. With the cup of my bra barely covering my nipple, it only takes a quick tug to release me from the confines.
Finn slowly kisses down my neck and collarbone, taking his time to savor every inch of exposed skin with his lips, tongue, and teeth. As he pulls my hardened bud into his mouth, the bed shifts on my other side. Fingers release my other breast from my bra and the rough texture of a short beard rubs my sensitive nipple, letting me know Austin joined the fun. He thoroughly worships my breast as Finn does the same to the other. Unable to contain the pleasure, a soft, breathy moan escapes my mouth.
Not to be left out, Bas slowly runs his hands up my calves and unhooks my stockings from the garter. Taking his sweet time, he rolls the thin material off my right leg as he kisses each new inch of skin revealed. When he reaches my ankle, he removes the garment completely and raises his body to continue the same delicious torture on the other leg.
With both stockings removed, Bas lifts my hips and slides my panties and garter off together in one smooth pull. He takes one finger and lightly strokes the outer lips of my pussy. The barely existent touch causes me to dampen even further, and I instinctively raise my hips seeking out more pressure. My wanton efforts leave me disappointed when Bas’s touch leaves my body entirely.
Austin and Finn cease their attention on my nipples leaving me riding high on the verge of explosion and completely exposed. Bas grabs my hips, quickly flips my body over, and pulls me onto my hands and knees. He then roughly tugs me backward, bringing my ass flush with the edge of the bed. The crinkle of plastic is followed by Bas’s long, thick length slowing pressing into me. Once he fully sheaths himself, he pauses to give me time to adjust to the intrusion.
Austin climbs onto the bed in front of me and sits back on his knees. His perfect cock bobs in front of my face and without a second thought, I take his length into my mouth. I gently swirl my tongue around the head, paying extra attention to the sensitive underside. When Bas slowly thrusts his length into my pussy, it pushes Austin’s cock further into my mouth. When Bas withdraws, my mouth slides back to the tip. My mouth moves up and down Austin’s cock in perfect sync to Bas’s thrusts.
Lost in a symphony of sensations and emotions, surprise courses through me when Finn’s tongue gently massages my clit. Opening my eyes, I find Finn laying on the bed with his head under me and his erection within reach. I drop myself onto my elbow for more leverage while not missing a beat in sucking Austin’s cock. With my free hand, I wrap it around Finn’s erection and stroke it in rhythm to Bas’s increased pace.
With Bas’s length in my pussy, Austin’s
cock in my mouth, and Finn’s erection in my hand it takes no time whatsoever until I fall over the edge into a mind-blowing orgasm. As I continue to ride the high of my release, all three guys find theirs as well. Bas pulls out of my pussy and the release of his hold causes my sated, exhausted body to fall forward.
“Whoa, baby. Hold on. I got you.” Bas grabs back onto my hips to steady me. He waits until Austin and Finn both move from under my body before he releases me to fall into a boneless heap on the bed.
“That was….” Austin stumbles over finding the right words to complete his thought.
“Amazing, epic, and life altering,” I say finding the words he could not.
“Yeah. All those things and more,” Finn agrees with my assessment.
“I need a quick nap and then we are so repeating that tonight. Multiple times,” I mutter into the pillow my face finds itself buried in.
With a chuckle, Bas pulls me until my back rests flush against his front. “Anything you want, baby.”
For the first time since I moved in, all four of us find ourselves squished into my bed to sleep. Bas kept his promise, and I really did get anything I wanted. I learned two things – sex would never be boring with these three in my life, and I need a bigger bed.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Today marks the official end of summer. With both Brittany and I returning to school on Wednesday, we decide we need one last celebration before life moves into hectic territory again. My relationship with the guys remains strong after the past few months of officially being together, though we reunited almost six months ago. Despite my initial hesitation, I find myself pleasantly surprised by the support our friends and family provide us.
Brittany and Jenna didn’t blink when I told them I decided to be in a relationship with all three guys. They both claimed they saw it coming from a mile away. It was only a matter of time when I came to terms with what stood in front of me, in their opinions. Jackson, Cooper, Beck, and Chris also welcomed the new relationship with open arms. They taunt me from time to time about how it takes three men to rein me in and for me to be satisfied, but it’s always said in fun.
