Nick and Liam looked at each other.
“Well…that’s not exactly true,” said Liam. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black box.
Liam and Nick both got down on their knees. Liam opened the box. Inside was a gorgeous ring, consisting of a pave diamond design that, on close inspection was a floral design based on Nick’s mate mark, complete with red rubies dotting the center. On the outside of the diamond were two pitch black diamonds.
“Ann, neither of us have experienced a greater loss…than losing you,” said Liam. “We have dedicated the last three months to giving you the gift of your sister, and we promise to dedicate the rest of our lives to making you happy, that is…if you will take us.”
“The greatest gift you could possibly give us? The gift of letting us be part of this family, a family we’ve helped bring back together,” said Nick. Nick pulled the ring out of the box and offered it to Ann. “This ring represents you, with us by your side. We promise our love will last longer than the stones will last on this ring, that we will be closer in heart and soul than these stones are to each other in their settings. Ann…will you accept me, Nick Asher…”
“…And me, Liam Dixon,” said Liam. “As your husbands?”
“Oh, Nick, Liam,” said Ann. “Of course! I do!”
Nick slipped the ring on Ann’s finger and Liam got up to sweep Ann up into his arms, where he kissed her deeply on the lips before passing her to Nick so he could do the same. Feeling Nick and Liam’s beating hearts after all the months apart just seemed…right.
“The fairy tale doesn’t end here, princess,” said Nick, setting Ann back down. “We’ve already asked your parents for their blessing…but there’s three more people we need to talk to.”
“Are you sure?” asked Ann.
“Absolutely,” said Liam. “We rehearsed this more than we’ve rehearsed our Bear Buns routines.”
Ann, Liam, and Nick headed out onto the porch, leaving Martha and Hibiscus on the couch. The two bear shifters didn’t even have to announce themselves before the three triplets came running up the porch stairs so fast that Jason had to tell them to be careful and slow down.
“Nick! Liam!” cried all three kids over and over, hugging Nick and Liam’s legs.
“Hey there, kids,” said Nick. “Guess what we just did?”
“What?” asked Brendan.
“We just asked Ann…if she would marry us,” said Nick.
“Eww!” said Paige. “Ann, you’re gonna marry…boys?”
“I know they’re icky, but, they said they had something to ask all three of you,” said Ann.
“All of us?” asked Jeremiah.
“That’s right,” said Liam. He got down to the kid’s level with Nick. “Marrying Ann? That means we’ll be part of her family, which means that we’ll be a part of your family, so we only thought it right to ask you three if we can join your family.”
The scene brought a tear to Ann’s eye. They really were doing everything right.
“So what do you say, kids?” asked Nick. “Can we join your family?”
“I don’t know,” said Jeremiah. “Will you…keep playing ball with us?”
“Absolutely,” said Liam.
“Will you…tuck us in at night?” asked Brendan.
“Definitely,” said Nick.
“Okay, but, but, what about…bedtime stories?” asked Paige. “Will we still have bedtime stories?”
“Of course we’ll still have bedtime stories,” said Liam. “So what do you say?”
“Yes!” said all three kids at once, before they hugged Nick and Liam, who let the kids crawl over them.
Ann wiped the tear from her eye. Jason motioned for her to come over.
“It’s time for us to let you and your boys have a moment,” said Jason with a twinkle in his eye. “And it’s time for these kids to meet someone really special, if you know what I mean.”
“You mean…” started Ann.
“That’s right,” said Jason. “She’s been waiting for this for a long time. We all have.”
Jason got up carefully from his rocking chair.
“Kids, gather round,” ordered Jason, and the kids hopped to it. “You got to see me, and your grandma, and Nick, and Liam today…but there’s one more special person it’s time for you to meet.” Jason led the kids inside to meet with Hibiscus for the first time in six years.
Liam and Nick sat down on each side of Ann, who was closing her eyes and smiling.
“What’s going on?” asked Nick.
“I’m just…I’m afraid that if I open my eyes, I’m going to stop dreaming this most wonderful dream,” said Ann.
“The great thing is, this isn’t a dream,” said Liam. “Sometimes, life really is like a fairy tale.”
Epilogue
Within a few months, Hibiscus was given a certification of her clean bill of health and had her life back in order. Of course, Nick and Liam’s billions meant that her hospital debts were paid off, that any bureaucratic bullshizz expediting fees were paid, and that Hibiscus had the best medical and legal counsel available. Once she was ready to resume her life, she moved back into the house in Seattle, where her kids bonded with her quickly, and after a few weeks, Ann moved out to live with Nick and Liam in their apartment. All three still helped Hibiscus with the kids, of course, as they frikkin’ loved all four of the people in that house.
Nick and Liam’s family drama was resolved once the Asher-Dixon Clan had a large dinner so that Nick and Liam could introduce the woman that they had claimed as their fated mate to the family. There was much grumbling as the Asher-Dixon Clan had not had a ménage in it for generations, but anyone who grumbled was gently reminded that it wasn’t nice to criticize the plan that fate had in store for anyone. It wasn’t even like they were blood related, and frankly, all shifters were related to some degree, Nick and Liam just happened to both be part of a family with a very good history of keeping genealogical records. Nick and Liam started to reconcile with their family, who didn’t care that they were stripping as long as they were happy.
Of course, any Asher-Dixon wedding was quite the event. A ménage wedding, well, doubly so! The wedding was held at the Asher Manor in Seattle, a large, stately mansion that the matriarch, Jennifer Asher, described as a mere ‘residence’. Any excuse for her to help plan a wedding was one she was in favor of, and she browbeat both Nick and Liam’s sets of parents into getting on board, because the triad was fated to be together, and the parents couldn’t change that, nor could they change the fact that Jennifer was going to have the biggest, grandest Asher-Dixon wedding ever, one that was truly both an Asher and a Dixon wedding.
While Ann’s wedding didn’t have nearly the drama that Chastity’s had, it made up for it with heart. Of course, the flower girl was Paige, and both Brendan and Jeremiah were the ring bearers, which was a good thing given the number of rings. The ceremony went off without a hitch or any objections, and then, it was time for dancing…and feasting!
Ann’s spread put Chastity’s to shame. Who needed a mashed potato sundae bar when there was a…
…Salmon bar consisting of everything one could possibly want that could be made out of salmon, from grilled salmon to smoked salmon to salmon roe sushi and amuse bouches, surrounded by a bevy of highly eligible shifters who couldn’t get enough of the salmon or the curvy gals that were coming back for seconds
…Make your own kebab bar featuring not just wooden skewers but a bevy of vegetables and meats to put on the skewers, including Japanese and American beefs and free range chicken, complete with sexy chefs that were ready to grill the skewers to perfection then and there in front of you
…Mongolian barbecue station where one could get a large bowl of ingredients, some classic American, some Asian, and have them fried up on a large flat round grill manned by two hunks each using two sword-like implement to stir the meat, very much fitting with the fact it was a ménage wedding
…Design your own mac
and cheese station, complete with different kinds of pasta and cheese sauces, herbs, bacon, lobster, crab, and of course, potato chip crumbs, as well as premixed mac and cheeses such as a white cheddar and lobster mac and cheese, a pumpkin spice latte inspired macaroni and cheese with nutmeg, cinnamon, and a hint of pumpkin puree, a caprese salad inspired mac and cheese with fresh Buffalo mozzarella, hydroponically grown heirloom tomatoes, and basil, a cheeseburger inspired mac and cheese made with American cheese, premium steak tips grilled to perfection, rare, and just a hint of pickle bits and ketchup, as well as the most popular options…a mac and cheese based on jalapeño poppers, filled with jalapeño peppers stuffed with mozzarella and ricotta and brie macaroni and cheese, each pepper breaded and fried before being put out with a serving spoon as individual single poppers, and as a casserole enrobed in yet more delicious white cheese.
While the guests were busy stuffing themselves (and in the case of some of the single people, looking at stuffing others or getting stuffed by other guests), the newlyweds made their way out. The best way to avoid having to say goodbye to a wedding of five hundred people? Leaving without a warning. It was absolutely perfect and chic. Jennifer Asher’s boyfriend, the household limo driver Niles, a frog shifter, was of course in on it and game, and drove the newlywed triad to the airport, where a private jet was waiting to take them to the first destination on their honeymoon tour.
That’s right. They were going on a honeymoon tour. It was time for Ann to finally leave the Seattle city limits and let her sister be a parent, one on one, with her kids, who were now nearing seven, and no longer needed to constantly be handheld. It was time for Ann to let Hibiscus fail, make mistakes, and get messy, just as she had. The tour of stops had been hand selected by the triad, and while Liam and Nick had spots they recommended, Ann had a few places she’d always wanted to visit…including the gorgeous blue and pink neon lit Miami, with sapphire blue waves hitting diamond white sand beaches day in and day out.
That’s how Ann found herself naked in the ocean with the two men who she now shared a single last name with: Asher-Dixon, as they’d chosen to be the first people in the Asher-Dixon family to have that shared last name since, well, nearly the start of the Clan’s joining of the Asher and Dixon Clans into the meta-clan.
While Ann had selected Miami as a location, Nick and Liam had insisted on booking a specific hotel and a specific package. Ann had learned why nearly immediately. While the image of Miami in her head was of gorgeous beaches, she hadn’t thought about the crowds, and she saw the huge crowds on the beaches as they explored Miami. The one way to avoid those crowds? Getting a private cabana…on a private beach.
Of course, while on their honeymoon, Nick and Liam, with the help of their new wife, had a challenge: finding the next set of bears to replace them at the Bear Buns strip club. After all, the act couldn’t exactly be called The Twelve Dancing Bears if there weren’t six pairs of bears shaking their bare buns on stage for dollar bills, preferably Jacksons and Benjamins. They would train their replacements and then move into working behind the scenes at Bear Buns, doing business management, but that didn’t mean that there was absolutely no possibility that the dark horses of Bear Buns wouldn’t find their way on that stage…and neither they nor Ann would have it any other way.
Although their replacements would be the show closers, given that they’d be the latest additions to the revue, that meant that the next set of bears that would be opening the show were two of the spiciest bears in Seattle…the cinnamon bears who had an act that, well…it’d take a book to describe.
The cabana was rented through a hotel which provided standard hotel services on demand, the keywords being, ‘on demand’. This meant nobody was around to bother the happy newlyweds, which meant that when they felt like going out into the water, nude, to watch the sunset, they were able to, and as the sky turned from pink to blue, the mood turned from playful to sexy.
It was started by Liam pinching Ann’s butt under the water. He loved that large, gorgeous ass more than anything, except for of course, Ann’s cute face. Ann yelped upon feeling the pinch and nearly jumped out of the water. Liam laughed, giving away the fact it was him that had pinched her bum, but when Ann lunged to pinch Liam back, Nick had the opportunity to wrap his arms around her waist and pull her tight, snaking one firm python of a forearm up her torso to cup her lower breast before he pinched the nipple.
“Oh, that’s how it is, huh?” asked Ann, splashing Liam while trying to wiggle away from Nick. “You two are ganging up on me? Well…one can play at that game!”
“Oh, can you?” asked Liam, crossing his arms. Ann was confused: why wasn’t he splashing her back? She soon had her answer.
Nick put her in his arms and started walking out to sea. As he was taller than her, he could go deeper than her, and once he got to about waist level, he started to lower her down further into the water.
Ann held onto Nick’s body for dear life.
“No! Nick! It’s too deep, I’ll get my hair wet!” bemoaned Ann. “Well, even wetter.”
“You sure that’s the only thing of yours that’s wet?” asked Nick.
“I don’t know…wanna find out?” teased Ann.
That’s all it took for Nick’s bear to take over and make Nick’s body turn around a hundred and eighty degrees before walking back towards the beach, where Nick lay Ann down on the large outdoor bed that they’d specially asked to have placed outside their cabana. There were privacy plants cultivated around the cabana’s private lagoon so they were definitely not going to get bothered. The only light? The light of the moon. Although it wasn’t exactly how their shifter ancestors had bred beneath moonlight, on piles of leaves on the forest floor, it was better.
Liam followed after Nick and as Nick and Ann sat on the edge of the bed making out, Liam got to work on Ann, down there, between her legs. He got on his knees, in the sand, and pressed his lips to Ann’s slit. Her natural juices washed away the salt water and soon he was tasting the pure natural sweetness of her honeypot, pressing his tongue against her clit and her entrance, with broad strokes that he knew would make her moan into Nick’s mouth.
Nick felt ripples of pleasure run through Ann’s body as Liam ate her out. This was exactly what he’d been fantasizing about doing with her since he’d seen her in her wedding dress, a mermaid gown that hugged her curves in all the right places, but which covered far too much of her body for his liking or Liam’s.
Having the attention of two men at the same time was something Ann was sure she’d never get used to. Every time felt as exciting as the first time, but as they learned each other’s bodies, the sex became more intense with every motion, every lick, every stroke. Ann felt herself filled from both ends, as Liam got up and slid his meaty cock into Ann and Nick’s tongue entered her mouth to feel her moans more closely.
Ann had to lie down, she just had to, in order to let Liam enter her more fully. She reached back and grabbed the bed to steady herself, but instead, found herself grabbing onto Nick’s legs. He had positioned himself so that his own shaft was above her face by at least six inches…but that wasn’t good enough for Ann.
“Can you do the thing you did last time?” begged Ann.
“Aww, that’s boring,” said Nick.
“Nothing’s boring with you two,” said Ann. “Please. I need that in my mouth. Now.”
“Well, it is your wedding day, so I suppose you’ve earned it,” said Nick. He moved so that he was on all fours with his cock above Ann, and therefore, he was able to start doing what can only be described as fucking her face. He didn’t do it hard, for fear of choking her, but he had such a strong bond with Ann that he knew just how much she could handle, how much she could take, but that didn’t stop Ann from trying to take more than she could manage, because she wanted that cock so badly.
Ann was just so skilled with her tongue that Nick couldn’t help but burst in her mouth. He pulled out so that she could catch the cum on her tongue and the prec
ious pearls wouldn’t just slide down her throat like mere water. Nick lay back on the bed, exhausted, but Liam wasn’t done with Ann. He leaned forward and kissed her, and sucked in. Ann moved her tongue in a wave, pressing the cum in her mouth into Liam’s mouth, moving Nick’s fluids into Liam’s mouth. It was so dirty, so naughty, so edgy, but nowhere near as kinky as what Liam had in store.
He opened his mouth and pressed his fingers in. He moved the fingers in and out of his mouth and then, with his cum soaked fingers, wiped the cum over his body. He let the cum dribble down his body, and then, who but Nick showed up, getting up from the bed to lick his own cum off of Liam’s body, giving Ann quite the show, the kind of thing that’s only seen in naughty videos, that nobody would expect two alpha male billionaire bear shifters of doing, even in a ménage!
Having Liam fucking her while playing with Nick was like having her own private fucking machine and a private naughty film. It was enough to make any hot-blooded woman reach the edge, and Ann, who had wanted both her husbands since seeing them in their tuxes at the end of the golden carpeted aisle, was the most hot-blooded woman in the continental USA. As Liam unloaded into Ann, unable to help himself from cumming so quickly, Ann felt herself explode around Liam again, cumming for the second time, her walls grabbing onto her husband as her hands reached up towards both her husband’s chests, feeling their mate marks beneath her hands.
Liam slid out and lay back on the bed, along with Nick, who hit the bed like a sack of potatoes.
Ann looked to Nick. Nick looked to Ann. Ann looked to Liam. Liam looked to Ann.
Ann wrapped her arms around them both.
“Well, my husbands…was that a wedding night, or was that a wedding night?” asked Ann.
“Oh, trust me,” said Liam, as Nick squeezed Ann’s shoulders. “This wedding night? It’s only just getting started.”
And he was right. This was just the beginning of a series of beautiful memories on their journey that started one fateful night in the best kept secret in Seattle…the shifter only strip club, Bear Buns, home of The Twelve Dancing Bears, which still had a few pairs of bears looking for the thing that all shifters are in search of, the one thing that, once they find, will complete their life: their true love…their fated mate.
